Chapter 90: Chapter 090: I Don’t Believe He Would Die Here

After hearing this, Su Shu’s face turned even paler, and her brows furrowed tightly.

After a few minutes of silence, she forcefully swung her backpack behind her, tied her ponytail tighter, and turned to stride deeper into the mountain forest.

Zhao Kang was startled, grabbing her arm, “Young lady, wait a moment; it’s too dangerous to go in like this!”

Su Shu said, “No matter how dangerous, I have to go in and find him! I don’t believe that Tang Zelin would die here!”

“No, you came with me; I can’t let you go into an even more dangerous place. Stay here and behave!”

At such a moment, Zhao Kang absolutely could not allow her, a young girl, to venture into the mountains alone. Even if searching for someone was dangerous, that was a matter for them as soldiers. They weren’t dead yet; there was no need for her to intervene.

Su Shu frowned and said, “Group Captain Zhao, I don’t mean to cause you trouble. The people here need you, but I am more worried about him. I want to go and check; I won’t be in any danger.”

“That’s still not possible!”

Zhao Kang could see that this young lady was stubborn. If he didn’t allow her to search, she definitely wouldn’t give up easily. He looked around and nodded at a few warriors who looked robust and agile, then turned back to Su Shu and said, “Let’s go together.”

“Okay.”

Su Shu didn’t refuse. She understood that they had come to the mountains to search for the missing person. Whether she was there or not, they would still go to look for Tang Zelin.

Thus, without any objection, she decisively followed the pace of Zhao Kang and his men.

The medic stayed with the villagers, as there were more injured people there. To reduce the danger for those heading into the mountains, he handed the last two bottles of snake venom serum to Group Captain Zhao before they left.

“We brought it when we came to offer disaster relief, but there’s unfortunately too little in the hospital’s inventory; it’s only these two bottles. In case of an emergency, they might buy us some time, better than nothing I suppose.”

The search and rescue team then split into two groups–one to lead the found villagers down the mountain, and the other to bring the tools and support the villagers in leading them to nearby places where people might be.

Su Shu was highly alert, scrupulously scanning her surroundings for any slight clue. Searching for people in the deep forest was very difficult. Time passed by the second, and they carefully inspected the area they had come through without finding any useful trace.

Group Captain Zhao held his temper in check and continued to encourage everyone to stay focused and search again.

Not only did they need to successfully find the missing people to complete their mission, but they also needed to carefully watch for any dangers underfoot or in the bushes, recalling the scenes of encirclement by snakes described by the villagers. It was impossible for anyone present not to be a bit worried.

Right now, all they could do was to be extra cautious.

Halfway through the journey, Su Shu attentively searched for any minute clues when suddenly, the ring on her middle finger became burning hot!

She exclaimed in shock due to the sudden heat, causing Group Captain Zhao, walking ahead, to jump and look back.

“Miss Su, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing; I just twisted my ankle.”

“It’s tough to walk in the forest; be careful. If you encounter any poisonous snakes or anything, don’t panic, just shout for me.”

“Yes, Group Captain Zhao.”

“Then let’s continue, everyone be extra careful with your footing.”

“Yes!”

A ring of warriors responded from behind Su Shu.

Su Shu regained her composure and followed behind Zhao Kang. When others weren’t paying attention, she quietly glanced at the ring on her finger, feeling suppressed. The shape hadn’t changed, the color hadn’t either, except for the temperature being a bit too high, making it feel like she was wearing a scorching iron fist.

Was there a problem inside the “space”?

Or what?
