Like a dream

ely spread through my mouth."If you don't want to die, just obey." He said in a gloomy voice.I bit my lip, nodding resignedly. His blood, laced with a strange tang, eased the numbness on my tongue.I i...The army, upon receiving the order, had to rush to their destination without stopping. The vehicles were constantly on the move, and due to the terrain, they moved at a slower pace. It wasn't until dawn that they reached their goal.

The soldiers immediately rushed to the rescue. I had no medical kit, and with empty hands, I was unable to help. I felt helpless and tried to call my family back home through a phone.

My dad went to Hong Kong and Macau, but my sister and senior brothers and sisters are at home. They should send someone to pick me up.

The camp commandant, a major named Wei, who took me in, assigned me some relief work. Then he walked over to me and asked, "Little girl, your hometown is where our unit is stationed. If you're not in a hurry to go home, you can help us with logistical support here. When we have some free time, I'll send a car to take you back."

"Um... I think I should go back as soon as possible... Or you don't have to worry about me, I'll just ask around if there are any rides..."

"With everyone busy with disaster relief, who would be taking tourists on a ride-sharing trip Don't be naive... Well, I'll lend you some money. Just take the bus back yourself! Be careful and don't run into any bad people."

"Bad guys don't write 'I'm a bad guy' on their faces... how can you be careful" I was so depressed, I just believed that polite-looking young man and ended up like this.

The camp commander scoffed: "Hey, don't fool me. At a glance, you can tell she's a naive girl. Who would a con artist try to swindle"

I pouted and lowered my head.

"Hey, when you're out and about, don't trust anyone easily. If you encounter difficulties, seek help from official departments, understand" Captain Wei stuffed a few red banknotes into my hand.

"Thank you," I whispered.

My wallet had long been emptied. The young man who drugged me took my ID card, phone, and all the cash, leaving only an empty wallet behind.

"Then I won't worry about you. We have to carry out the mission, and we can't delay the rescue mission because of you." Captain Wei nodded at me, then turned and walked away.

To be honest, when everyone was spoiling me at home, I only realized how much people disliked me once I stepped outside.

I feel a bit discouraged and just want to go home and have a good sleep.

I hope I won't dream about these worrisome things. Let me have a good rest and calm down before I study this matter of the female gu again.

This is a devastated small county town. Doctors from the county hospital have quickly set up tents in open spaces to treat the injured.

Some people these days criticize doctors and hospitals all the time, but when they get sick or injured, they still rush to the hospital for treatment.

I inquired along the way and arrived at the only train station in this small county town. The open space here was already filled with quite a crowd of people.

Many people want to evacuate, but they are worried about aftershocks on the road and potential accidents.

I took a deep breath and bought a ticket, boarding the bus that was taking me home.

Although the number of departures has been reduced, the train was still empty. There were a few passengers at first, but they later hesitated and got off.

Until departure, I was the only passenger on the entire train.

The driver was a thin, middle-aged man. He held a cup of water and got in the car with red eyes. He glanced at me and asked, "Beauty, are you alone"

I grew a heart-eye, and replied, "I'm here to visit relatives."

The driver let out an "Oh." He said, "Well, that's really unfortunate. You've had quite a day. Better get home quickly."

After finishing his words, he started the engine. Before driving off, he said to me, "If you get carsick, come sit in the front. The road conditions are really bad now."

There's a big difference... This heavy regional accent in Mandarin is making me nervous again.

The car started, driving down an ordinary road. Two places along the way had been half-buried by landslides. The driver squeezed the car past them on the other side - one side was a slope and a cliff, and if they weren't careful, they would roll down.

I was so nervous I gripped the front seat, my knuckles turning white.

After finally getting over those two hurdles, before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, there were several piles of rubble ahead.

"Damn it, who the hell put up this roadblock and didn't take it down If I hit that thing in the middle of the night with my car, wouldn't I be screwed!" The driver grumbled as he shoved open his car door and jumped out.

I got up from my seat and watched him bend down to pick up the stones blocking the way and throw them aside one by one.

He quickly got into the car and turned to me, asking, "Beauty, do you have a band-aid"

"Huh There…seems to be…" This is a common item in a backpack, you know!

It can stop bleeding and cover wounds, and it can also be used to prevent blisters while shopping.

I gave him two Band-Aids and saw that the driver's finger had been cut by a piece of stone, with a small cut bleeding.

The car continued on the road. Because the speed was slow, I couldn't keep my eyes open and dozed off for a while.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside, and the car was driving towards a forest.

"Master, Master! Driver Uncle! This isn't the road, is it!" I was startled and jumped up, holding onto the back of the chair and calling out to him.

The driver's bloodshot eyes stared blankly at the dark woods. His movements were stiff, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth when he spoke.

"... Yes, yes, there's nothing wrong here..."

>lms...""Then what use is it to you!""...Your life and death are unknown, your whereabouts a mystery. Where could I possibly concern myself with such things The Ten Witches of Ling Mountain were among...
