Chapter 1594: Thousands of Miles, I Am Searching for You 2

~8 min read 1,449 words

Fast Chinese.

A helicopter is much faster than walking on foot.

Half an hour later.

Litian was air-dropped onto the school roof, and his former teammates flew away.

They were going to execute a special mission, also in this vicinity but different from ordinary disaster relief.

Litian was once one of them, he understood the rules; one should not pry into things they shouldn't know. He didn't ask what the mission was, and his teammates didn't mention it. For half an hour, everyone stayed together and chatted affectionately.

A teammate teased: "You're really something, you went on one mission and brought back a beauty. We brothers have been on so many missions, yet we haven't had any such luck with romance."

Litian: "If I split my romantic luck with you in exchange for me returning to the troop, would you agree?"

Teammate: "If it were up to me, I'd swap, but unfortunately, it's not up to me."

The Class Monitor patted Litian on the shoulder: "There is no banquet in the world that doesn't end. No matter where you are, you are one of us. Take care of yourself, and don't lose face for everyone."

"Yes."

He gave the old Class Monitor and his teammates a military salute, and the brief reunion ended.

Litian descended from the sky, his body strapped full of food and water.

The teachers and students of the school cheered; everyone had run out of food and supplies, and Litian had arrived just in time!

He was only one person, and even with his body covered in food, it was still too little.

Litian said to the Principal: "Reinforcements will arrive very soon. Everyone, divide these up; the rescue team will be here shortly."

The Principal organized the teachers to distribute the food by class.

There were not many teachers and students in the school; he scanned them all at a glance, but the person he was longing for was not there.

He asked the Principal: "Where is Lu Feifei? Why don't I see her?"

Several people surrounded Sheng Litian, all speaking words of gratitude.

But when he asked about Lu Feifei, everyone fell silent in unison, not saying a single word.

People lowered their heads, and some even shed tears in sorrow!

His heart sank.

It kept falling!

He grabbed the person next to him frantically and asked: "Where is Feifei? You must know, right?"

"Speak, where is she? Tell me quickly!"

"Don't get agitated, Teacher Lu... was swept away by the flood!"

"Sob sob sob..."

I don't know who started crying, but soon there was a chorus of sobbing!

One day later.

"Feifei, Feifei, where are you?" Litian's eye sockets were sunken, his whole body covered in mud and water, so dirty that his features were unrecognizable.

But he didn't care. After confirming at the school that Lu Feifei had been swept away by the flood, he hadn't delayed for a single moment and immediately started searching along the path where the water had swept her away!

He firmly believed that Feifei was not dead.

He would definitely find her. No matter what the road ahead was like, he would never turn back until he found Feifei!

Litian's conviction was firm, but the situation along the way was not optimistic; everywhere along the path were various items, and even houses, that had been swept away by the flood.

There were also corpses of people and animals...

The situation was tragic and unbearable to look at.

Every time he saw a woman's corpse, he would go over to identify it, his heart in his throat, and only heave a sigh of relief when he saw it wasn't her.

Along the way, he also encountered quite a few people riding in trees or standing on rooftops asking for help.

Although he was burning with anxiety, he didn't just focus on looking for his girlfriend; he would help such people, send them to a safe place, and then ask if they had seen Teacher Lu from the school.

People shook their heads one after another; no one had seen her.

He could only search while calling out his girlfriend's name.

A day passed, and Litian's throat was already so hoarse he could barely speak.

Having seen too much tragedy along the way, he fell into despair, lying in the mud and shouting: "Feifei, Feifei, where are you? Come back quickly, I've come to find you, can you hear me?"

"I'm here."

"I... am here!"

It was Lu Feifei's voice.

The voice was very weak, just a tiny bit.

No one else heard it, only Litian heard it. His whole body was suddenly filled with strength, and he scrambled up and ran toward the direction of the voice!

He laughed as he ran, as if he had gone mad.

Finally, he discovered two people on a section of a tree, looking like mud monkeys, one big and one small.

Although the color of their clothes could no longer be distinguished, he recognized at a glance that the adult was Lu Feifei, the person who haunted his dreams.

"Litian? I'm not dreaming, am I!" Lu Feifei fainted after saying this.

When she was swept away by the flood, she grabbed a piece of a desk and held on for dear life so she wouldn't sink to the bottom of the water.

Later, when the current wasn't as rapid, she passed a large tree and climbed onto it, and she even saved a seven or eight-year-old child along the way.

They hadn't had food or drink for three days.

The flood had slowly receded, but it was useless even after the water went down; the mud under the tree was of unknown depth, and they still couldn't leave.

She was an adult and could endure for a longer time, but the child couldn't hold on.

The child was thirsty, hungry, and cold.

The cold was easy to solve; the two huddled together for warmth.

Hunger could also be endured for a while, but thirst was very hard to bear.

Beneath their feet was the rushing, ceaseless floodwater, and when the child wanted to drink that water, Lu Feifei would not allow it.

She told the child: "There are many bacteria and viruses in the water; if you drink this water, you will get sick, and I fear you might lose your life!"

But they were too thirsty, so the two ate leaves from the trees, which provided a little relief.

The daytime was fine, but the temperature was extremely low at night; Lu Feifei unbuttoned her coat and held the child in her arms to maintain his temperature.

Just like that, they held on for three days.

If no one came to save them soon, they would likely not be able to hold on any longer.

When the two were on the verge of death, Lu Feifei seemed to hear Litian's voice.

She thought it was a hallucination, but she still used all her strength to respond.

She used all her strength, but her voice was still soft and tiny, like the buzzing of a mosquito!

The moment she saw Litian, she fainted in relief.

"Feifei, Feifei, wake up..."

County Hospital.

Lu Feifei woke up; all around were snow-white walls, she was lying on a hospital bed, and Litian was guarding by her side.

Seeing her wake up, he was very happy and immediately ran outside.

"Doctor, doctor, the patient has woken up!"

The doctor walked in, performed a simple examination, and told the two: "It's fine now, once she has woken up, there is no more danger; just rest well, and you can be discharged in two days."

The two held hands, and Feifei said: "You saved me again!"

Litian: "Mm."

"How did you come?"

"To save you."

Lu Feifei felt sweet inside, but she had to say something sour: "It would have been better if I had been washed away by the flood; that way you could be with that rich girl openly."

"Don't talk nonsense; you are the only one in my heart, and I won't like anyone else but you."

"Heh, she clings to you so hard; you might not like her now, but you will after a long time, since she's so close to you." As she spoke, she shed tears.

She was truly heartbroken.

Although she had survived a great disaster and should be open-minded, she was just narrow-minded; the reality of the problem was still there, and it was impossible to be open-minded.

If she had died this time, it would have been the end of it, but she didn't die, so she had to face the rival in love in reality!
