In the system of super rich people, handsome men are just tools

Chapter 385 Run Alone

"You give us directions, and we'll set off. We must find that person today."

Lin Xiu felt uneasy under that gaze, so she got up and prepared to leave.

The opponent used up their last dose of the powerful pill while they were in a semi-comatose state, so they must find a way to get out of here today.

The quiet woods are still bustling with activity; today, apart from the sound of breathing, no one speaks.

Several times Lin Xiu wondered if she had been given the wrong directions, but facing the sun in the sky, she still chose the other person's judgment.

Liu Linzhou had no other way, and neither did she.

After walking for nearly two days, the trees here seemed endless. At first, Lin Xiu carried Liu Linzhou, but now she was supporting him. She was also wondering if she was going to die here. She didn't even want to talk. Fortunately, Liu Linzhou's condition was improving.

On the third day of rest, Liu Linzhou sat under a tree, pondering whether she could find food for the next day.

Unexpectedly, a pair of bright green eyes appeared in the woods.

"Miss Lin." Liu Linzhou leaned against the tree trunk to support himself, his eyes warily fixed on the approaching eyes in the woods.

Lin Xiu also became alert. She had been lucky enough not to encounter any 'wild animals' for several days in a row. If she did encounter one this time, it would be difficult for her to take Liu Linzhou away with her current physical strength.

The grass was lush, and the leaves were trembling, resembling a... wolf!

Fortunately, it wasn't a pack of wolves; unfortunately, the wolves seemed rather large.

"It's a wolf." A chill ran through her.

Liu Linzhou's face also darkened, his pale face filled with a fierce expression. He glanced at Lin Xiu, then stared into the green eyes, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was as if he had made a decision.

"It seems we must part ways," he said.

What do you mean?

Lin Xiu immediately turned around. Was he going to abandon her and run away? But could he outrun her?!

As if seeing through her thoughts, Liu Linzhou chuckled: "Miss Lin, run away on your own. I'll hold them off for a while. Remember to keep heading south. If you survive, don't forget to avenge me."

"There's another one in the woods, don't be afraid."

"Roar."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a wolf leaped out of the bushes. Wild animals are very alert; it sniffed the air, revealing its menacing fangs, but did not attack rashly.

Lin Xiu was slightly taken aback, then quickly came to her senses and frowned.

"Time is running out." Liu Linzhou grabbed her hand and shook her off. "Now, run!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a wolf howled, and Lin Xiu's figure darted into the dense forest.

The mountains and forests are endless; without food, and if she gets injured again, she won't survive.

She's already done everything she could. With her own physical abilities and without any burdens, she'll definitely be able to...

"Splash!"

The running figure paused for a moment, then suddenly turned around.

The sound of the wind and howling swept past Lin Xiu's ears. Her gaze returned to the path she had come from, the warmth of the hand that had been pulled away still lingering.

"Roar."

"brute."

On the grass, Liu Linzhou's eyes reddened. He gripped a thick tree trunk and broken branch with his hand, using his last bit of strength to resist, even though he knew it was just a futile attempt to stop a moving vehicle.

Veins bulged on his forehead as he thought, "That little ingrate, it really ran away."

No, that's not right. He was the one who had no conscience, and he showed some conscience for the last time.

"Roar! Crunch." The branch snapped in two, and at the last moment, Liu Linzhou instinctively closed his eyes.

But instead of the expected pain, there was the howling of wolves.

He opened his eyes and saw something shocking.

Lin is back.

"What are you standing there for? Find something sharp." Lin Xiu was furious and dodged, leaving bloody scratch marks on her arm.

Without giving it much thought, it lunged forward again to find weaknesses. Animals are animals, they don't have nearly as many thoughts as humans.

Over there, Liu Linzhou found several sharp wooden branches and threw them over: "Eyes."

"learn."

Aiming at the wolf's eyes, Lin Xiu feigned no resistance the moment it pounced, and as the wolf's claws brought pain, she plunged her weapon deep into the wolf's body.

"Pfft." Blood splattered, and the wolf fell to the ground.

"Get out of here."

The strong smell of blood would attract more animals from the mountains, so the two men helped each other quickly escape the area.

Why did you come back?

"Why are you talking so much?"

"Why?" the man asked stubbornly.

Lin Xiu didn't know that perhaps she would be all alone in this mountain forest without Liu Linzhou; or perhaps it was because of his last act of kindness or mission!

Human emotions are complex, and the other person may not be what she expected.

During the questioning, Liu Linzhou's smile grew wider and wider, and he stared at her for a long time.

"I'll spend the night here." The cave was dark, unlike any other naturally formed cave. Lin Xiu walked inside and found it to be quite large.

When he returned, Liu Linzhou was wiping himself clean with a damp cloth. When he saw Lin Xiu return, he looked up and smiled: "Xiuxiu, do you want to wipe yourself?"

Without realizing it, he changed how he addressed people.

Lin Xiu didn't notice and went back to sit down, thinking: "I think this cave was dug by people. Although I don't know how many years ago it was, as long as there are traces of people, the direction is right."

Inference is not only inference, but also comfort.

Liu Linzhou smiled. Compared to Lin Xiu's seriousness and his initial survival instinct, he was much calmer now, his previous sharpness gone.

“That’s right,” he agreed.

Lin Xiu felt uncertain. Facing Liu Linzhou, her usually cold face showed the weariness of the past few days. She tried to reassure him, saying, "If you've pointed me in the wrong direction, I'll haunt you even as a ghost! Hiss!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was stung by the wounds on his body.

"Let me see." Liu Linzhou pulled her arm over. One of the wounds was the deepest. He tore off a piece of his clothes and used it to bandage the wound. "When we get back, we'll find the best doctor. It definitely won't leave a scar."

"It's nothing." Lin Xiu shook her head. She wasn't afraid of scarring. If she were really afraid, she would have had the system use a cosmetic procedure to fix the small wound on her forehead.

Let me wipe it for you.

Liu Linzhou bandaged the wound and gently wiped the blood from Lin Xiu's face, his actions serious and leaving no room for refusal.

Lin Xiu was tired, so she didn't move.

He saved the other person's life, so it's only right that he reciprocate in kind.

A cool touch swept from her arm to her neck, finally settling on the wound at the corner of her mouth. Lin Xiu opened her eyes this time: "No need... um."

The man's handsome face drew near, a large hand gripped her neck, and her lips touched with a predatory force.

She pushed him away forcefully, her pupils dilating: "Liu Linzhou, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. I'm scared of Lin Xiu, and you're scared too, right?" Liu Linzhou's expression suddenly changed. He smiled, and his gray-blue eyes seemed to have a magical power that could draw people in.

Seeing that she didn't move, he carefully moved closer again.

What if none of us can get out?

Lin Xiu didn't know that without the system, there were only two people left here.

They were all exhausted, even fearful. The deserted mountains amplified their natural feelings, and the appropriate indulgence in the wilderness provided comfort to one another. It was a desire, and also an innate emotion.

The temperature was very high at night, the highest it had been in the past few days.

Their breaths intertwined and overlapped, like the spirits of the mountains and forests, endlessly...
