Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Chapter 2895 Town Infrastructure Construction in Full Swing 14

Lu Jun strode to Yan Genggu's side and knelt down. "How are you? Where are you hurt?"

He wanted to touch the wound on Yan Genggu's forehead, but his hand froze halfway through, afraid of hurting him.

Yan Genggu paused, shook his head, and wanted to say something, but then everything went black.

Lu Jun immediately supported him, "Don't move."

He quickly tore off a strip of cloth from his inner garment and pressed it against the still-bleeding wound on the back of Yan Genggu's head.

On the other side, Huo Zhaoye rushed in and killed several monsters that charged at him.

"Jin Chen..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Jin Chen suddenly stepped forward and hugged him.

"You really came to save me."

Upon hearing these words, Huo Zhaoye felt both bittersweet and burning with emotion. "Are you injured? Where does it hurt?"

Jin Chen: "No."

That's what they say, but they look really disheveled.

Huo Zhaoye's heart clenched even tighter. He helped Jin Chen up, letting him lean on him for support, Jin Chen's forehead resting lightly against his shoulder.

The group helped the wounded man and prepared to leave the eerie, desolate forest as soon as possible, but the sky suddenly changed drastically.

Above the mist, dark clouds had gathered at some unknown time, pressing heavily down on the forest. A fierce wind whipped up the withered leaves and dust on the ground, making a howling sound that cut through the twisted branches like the wailing of ghosts.

"Is it going to rain?" someone asked anxiously, looking up.

The words have not yet fallen.

A blinding bolt of lightning tore through the sky, and the earth trembled in response.

The raindrops immediately began to fall, quickly forming a dense curtain of rain, while lightning streaked and struck down from the dark clouds.

Lightning bolts struck the tall, mutated trees one after another, igniting raging flames that were quickly extinguished by the torrential rain, leaving billowing white smoke.

Thunderstorm!

"Go back! Quickly! Find somewhere to hide!"

Huo Zhaoye immediately gave the order to hold Jin Chen tightly in his arms.

Traveling in the wild in this kind of weather is tantamount to suicide; a single lightning strike could kill everyone.

Lu Jun's expression was also solemn. He directed his men to help Yan Genggu and the wounded back into the cave they had just emerged from.

Monkey and a few others who stayed a little further out to provide backup also braved the torrential rain and dragged the three surviving people from Nanzhen over.

"Boss! It's suddenly pitch black outside! The thunder is terrifying! We can't stay outside!"

The group huddled inside the cave, listening to the thunder, lightning, and torrential rain outside; their faces were not looking too good.

"This thunderstorm is really too ominous."

Suddenly remembering something, the Beizhen team members looked at Jin Chen, who was being protected by Huo Zhaoye, in surprise and blurted out, "Teacher Jin! You were right! There really was a thunderstorm!"

This reminded other popular people that Teacher Jin's weather warnings had come true several times before, so they had no choice but to believe them this time.

Jin Chen slowly raised his hand and waved it, "You're welcome."

The sky darkened rapidly during the thunderstorm, which intensified as hail began to fall.

It would be virtually impossible to cross the treacherous wilderness and return to town overnight in such weather.

“We can’t leave tonight.” Lu Jun observed through the rain and said in a deep voice, “We’ll wait for the thunderstorm to pass and then set off at dawn tomorrow.”

"This place offers some shelter from the rain, and we take turns keeping watch and making a fire to keep warm."

No one objected; this was the only realistic option at the moment.

Huo Zhaoye had Monkey and the others take stock of the supplies they were carrying.

Fortunately, they had experience venturing into the wilderness before, and even in their haste, they brought basic equipment packs containing emergency rations, water bags, fire starters, and portable tents.

The quantity of compressed rations is limited, and priority should be given to the wounded and those who have exhausted a lot of energy.

The team members, who were familiar with wilderness survival, ventured into the nearby bushes where they had taken shelter from the rain and found edible wild fruits.

The group managed to fill their stomachs with the rainwater. It took the monkey and his men a great deal of effort to start a small fire in a sheltered rocky hollow. The damp firewood crackled and emitted thick smoke.

Huo Zhaoye checked Jin Chen over and over again to make sure he was really not injured before he was slightly relieved.

He placed Jinchen in the driest and safest spot closest to the fire, and forced the meager portion of dried meat into her hands.

"How were you captured?" Huo Zhaoye asked in a low voice.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if they hadn't arrived at the cave in time, or if Jin Chen had been a little unlucky...

Jin Chen rested her chin lazily on Huo Zhaoye's shoulder, and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

good question.

Jin Chen turned to Yan Gengu on the other side.

Yan Genggu quickly treated the wound on the back of his head and whispered something to Lu Jun, who was sitting next to him.

Yan Genggu felt the gaze and looked up, meeting Jin Chen's eyes with some confusion. He then glanced at Huo Zhaoye, who was intently watching Jin Chen.

Yan Genggu: "..." He really didn't understand what Jin Chen's look meant.

Jin Chen: "Lord Huo asked us how we were captured."

Yan Genggu: "..."

I told you, Teacher Jin, you're really strange!

Why can't you just say it yourself? Why do you have to make me do it from a roundabout way?

Little did he know, Huo Zhaoye had seen Jin Chen's actions and was secretly annoyed.

Jin Chen was terrified and didn't even want to recall it; she must have been extremely frightened.

If he had been more cautious and hadn't left Jinchen in town, Jinchen wouldn't have had to go through all this and wouldn't have had to seek security from others.

Huo Zhaoye felt a pang of sadness and pain in his heart.
