Chapter 1517: Looking for Traces of Him
The answer that the lady had given her almost made her burst into tears.
Shortly after, Bai Yaoyao led her team into the mountain behind.
The trees were dense. After a heavy rain, the ground was slippery, and the rocks threatened to fall. It was a perilous journey.
Nevertheless, Bai Yaoyao persisted and went into the mountains.
She didn’t dare to call out to him in fear that it would attract the attention of the southern troops.
The combat planes could be heard in the sky, and the roads were also filled with the sounds of the soldiers patrolling the area.
A while after Bai Yaoyao left, that lady’s house was infiltrated by a group of southern soldiers.
While searching for him, Bai Yaoyao relied solely on her instincts. She acted only on her intuition, and it didn’t feel grounded at all. However, this was her only hope.
She remembered during her training that Duan Yanhao would bring her to the mountains. They would hunt rabbits, train in the wilds, or just have fun in the mountains.
Thinking back, her memories were still fresh. They were so vivid that it made her heart ache.
Despite her excruciating heartache, she swallowed it. She couldn’t cry or be upset. She told herself that Duan Yanhao was definitely still alive.
She recalled that Duan Yanhao had told her before that the most dangerous place in the wild was actually the safest place too.
She lost count of how many times she had fallen or rolled down, and how many times she had been bitten by snakes and insects.
It was a trying time for her. She searched carefully and refused to give up.
In reality, she simply wanted to cry. She looked up in the sky and told herself that there was nothing to be afraid of. If something were to have happened to him, she’ll avenge him. Afterwards, she’ll join him too.
After all, he was the person who allowed Bai Yaoyao to know what love was and to experience what being cared for felt like. He had given her a home.
He was the only person who made her feel warm and safe.
It was nothing for her, even if she had to follow him to death. She was all alone anyway.
No, no way. Duan Yanhao was definitely still alive. She couldn’t let her mind run wild.
Rummaging through her memories, she recalled that Duan Yanhao had trained her about directions. She thought in the same manner that he would. Indeed, she found a piece of cloth hanging on a rock near a cliff. It was stained with fresh blood.
Bai Yaoyao picked it up and sniffed it. Her eyes lit up with joy and surprise immediately. It was really his scent. Even though it was faint and concealed by the blood, she could still smell it.
Bai Yaoyao almost shed tears of joy.
Right at this moment, gunshots sounded in the forest.
“Oh no, Elder Sister Bai! The southern troops are here. It seems like there’s a large number of them!”
“Elder Sister Bai, what do we do now?”
“Elder Sister Bai, there are only about ten of us here. There’s no point for us to strike. We don’t have much weapons if we fight here in the forest. We won’t be able to hold on for long.”
“I’ll drag them down with me even if I die. I’m not afraid to die.”
“As soldiers, we don’t fear death, but we can’t just send ourselves to doom. That’s stupid. We have to come up with a good solution.”
“What solution do we have? The cliff is right behind us, and the southern troops are just below! Even if we hide in the mountains, we’ll die of hunger eventually. But still, we must kill a few enemies!”
