"If you don't want to die, follow me!"
I roared, grabbed the suitcase from the ground, and pulled Guan Hai'er into the rainforest.
Li Degui, seeing the dire situation, got up from the rock and took off running!
He followed closely behind me.
Shangguan Wan and Pan Lili also followed, as if they wished they had two more legs.
This guy is truly pathetic, only understanding what's said when danger is imminent.
I glanced back at the three and weaved through the trees, following the marks I had left.
Suddenly, I heard a cry from behind. I turned to see Pan Lili lying on the ground, clutching her leg in pain, as if she had tripped over something.
Li Degui ran past her. Pan Lili urgently called his name, but he paid no attention and dashed to the front.
Pan Lili, this is the good man you chose!
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a flicker of satisfaction.
Shangguan Yao also heard and looked back, then at me, her expression anxious.
"Lu Ziye..."
Did she want me to save her?
Pan Lili also called my name, her voice laced with desperation.
I sighed irritably. Although this bitch had betrayed me before, I knew I couldn't stand by and watch someone die.
I walked back and crouched in front of Pan Lili.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on."
Pan Lili seemed shocked by my actions and hesitated before gently placing her hand on my shoulder.
The approaching danger urged me to return to the cave quickly. I quickened my pace, carrying Pan Lili as if it were easy.
Pan Lili seemed to be fidgeting, and after a moment, she whispered in my ear, asking why I was saving her.
What kind of stupid question is that!
I'm a good youth who grew up under the national flag, I can't stand to see people die. If it weren't for my life being at stake, I wouldn't save you!
Finally, after my desperate run, I reached the cave. I set Pan Lili down and took several deep breaths.
Shangguan Yao stood at the cave entrance, staring at the sea with lingering fear.
Gigantic waves, ten meters high, descended like an iron curtain from the horizon, instantly swallowing the coastline.
Damn it, I almost became one with the sea!
As the waves engulfed the beach, the long-brewing storm finally broke, with heavy raindrops pounding the rainforest.
I caught my breath, added more firewood to the bonfire, and turned to see something that made my blood boil.
Li Degui, from who-knows-where, had found some dry grass, spread it on the ground, and was now comfortably lying there, basking in the firelight with his legs crossed!
He'd even stolen a can of food and was munching on it.
He really thought he was the boss here, didn't he even know whose territory this was!
Seeing Li Degui's behavior, I was furious. I strode forward and kicked him in the chest.
Caught off guard, Li Degui rolled like a tumbleweed, sent flying two meters away by my kick.
"You beggar! Are you trying to kill me, you bastard!"
Li Degui clutched his chest and yelled at me.
I sneered and looked down at him, like a dying dog struggling for breath, "Didn't you hurt your leg earlier? How did you run so fast just now!"
Li Degui's eyes darted around, and he said weakly, "My recovery is naturally stronger than others, unlike you, a good-for-nothing!"
This Li Degui is like a dog, only yelping when beaten!
I raised my foot to give him another hard kick, but Shangguan Yao, who had recovered from her shock, grabbed my arm, "Lu Ziye, that's enough! I have something to ask Li Degui!"
As expected, he's her relative. Shangguan Yao really protects Li Degui!
I crossed my arms, leaned against the cave wall, and casually opened a can of food, starting to eat.
I wanted to see what questions Shangguan Yao would ask!
Shangguan Yao walked up to Li Degui, a flicker of displeasure in her eyes, "Li Degui, your girlfriend fell just now, why didn't you even help her up!"
"Uh, Wan'er, I was just about to explain to Lili!"
Li Degui was stunned for a moment, then his back and legs felt fine. He sat up and walked directly to Pan Lili, who had been leaning against the wall since entering.
"Baby, I'm sorry, it was all my fault just now, I was just in a hurry. I didn't see you fall, otherwise, I would have carried you back even if I had to drag you."
Li Degui reached out to embrace her, but Pan Lili dodged him.
Li Degui, with a fawning smile, said all sorts of sweet and insincere words, making promises and vows, until he finally coaxed Pan Lili to nod, leaning gently into his arms.
However, there was a hint of unfamiliarity between Pan Lili and Li Degui, and their previous closeness was gone. Her words were no longer ingratiating.
Truly, the shameless are invincible!
Watching Pan Lili's coy demeanor made me angry. I should not have saved her!
What a nuisance!
After coaxing Pan Lili, Li Degui became arrogant again and started bossing people around.
"Lu Ziye, don't think you can act all high and mighty in this dump. When we get out, you'll be the first one I fire! You're only fit to sweep the streets!"
As he spoke, he painted a picture of their life after rescue for Pan Lili, gesturing with his hands.
"From what I understand, with incidents like our ship capsizing, rescue teams will definitely come for us by tomorrow at the latest!"
Watching him brag, I was reminded of a song.
Look at this big pie, it's so big and round!
