A group of people walked through the mountain forest. It hadn't been opened for development and had no roads, so it all depended on the people passing through the lush vegetation.

Chu Xi followed behind Lu Shi and saw that on the back of his hand, which hung down beside his body, a wound was drawn by plant thorns and blood overflowed and dripped from it. Lu Shi didn't seem to feel any pain, and he didn't react at all.

She wanted to remind him so she opened her mouth, but then simply let it go.

The mountain forest had the same scenery on all sides, therefore it was impossible to distinguish the direction at all. Chu Xi had been having doubts in her heart. "How did you determine Chu Yu's position? Did he tell you anything before he left?"

"Intuition; I can sense his position."

His tone of speech was extremely firm, but Lu Shi wasn't actually completely sure.

At the moment of the landslide, Lu Shi's heart had tightened.

After that, he had walked through the mountain forest alone for who knows how long, and vaguely realized that there truly might be some kind of special and secret connection between him and Chu Yu.

Before Chu Xi could question him, Lu Shi looked back. "85% chance."

Chu Xi took a deep breath and questioned in a heavy voice, "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Chu Xi decided to gamble once and trusted him.

When it came to Chu Yu, she wasn't willing to give up any bit of hope.

Stopping at a place that wasn't any special, Lu Shi closed his eyes, then opened them and stated, "It's here. With the place under my feet as the midpoint, it's within a radius of 50 meters, including the mountain wall."

He looked straight at Chu Xi. "Trust me."

Chu Xi squeezed her phone and stared fixedly at Lu Shi. "Okay, I believe you."

Half an hour was obviously very short, but every second seemed to be stretched infinitely long; it was as if the second hand of a clock was moving beside the ears, producing a 'tick' sound. Until the detection specialist excitedly called, "Found it! The students are inside the mountain and they should still be alive." There was a 'bang'. The gears meshed and the hour and minute hand then started to move normally.

Lu Shi subconsciously supported himself on the coarse tree trunk, barely standing firm.

Still alive.

Chu Yu is still alive.

He's still alive.

With his head lowered, a slight smile revealed itself on the corner of Lu Shi's lips.

Inside the cave, a loud noise suddenly exploded near Chu Yu's ear.

He raised his heavy eyelids with difficulty and found that Zhang Yueshan had stood up.

Zhang Yueshan walked a few steps in place, listening carefully with his ears perked to the side, but the surroundings had returned to quiet.

"School Flower, did you hear that sound just now? Was it just my imagination?"

"No," Chu Yu didn't have much strength, "I heard it too, it's not an illusion."

Zhang Yueshan sat down again, wanting to both cry and laugh, he pressed a hand to his forehead. "Yeah, someone must've come to rescue us."
