Chapter 2292: One-Night Stand: Shen (76)

The night was no longer dark, the wind no longer cold, the whole world felt warm.

She moved her hand away from Shen You’s hair, closed her mouth tightly, and looked around.

It was so quiet here, except for the sound of the wind rustling the grass and trees, and the sound of her and his breathing, there was no other sign of life.

About two hours later, Shen You woke up.

The night was already deep, but there were no towering trees here. The night sky above was reflected in his eyes, clear and expansive, like a blue ocean.

Shen You held Ye Bai tightly, moved a hand over the computer screen; Huo Bei had not yet returned to rest.

It seemed that the military’s system was hard to access, as he still hadn’t obtained the information.

Ye Bai looked up, gazing at the large stars in the sky. For the first time, she felt the sky was so close, the moon so round, as if she could reach out and touch it.

If her father and Xiaojiu weren’t in danger, perhaps seeing this beautiful scene would evoke another kind of beautiful feeling, unlike now, where she wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.

No matter how beautiful the scenery was.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

Shen You found the phone, picked it up and glanced at it; Huo Bei had sent a file.

He accepted it, connected the phone to the computer, transferred the file from the phone to the computer, opened it, and began to study.

It turned out that a special operations team had accidentally entered this place while on a special mission.

Due to the special circumstances at the time, a helicopter rescue couldn’t be sent.

In the end, of the dozens of people, only two survived to leave and wrote down a guide for this place.

After reading the guide, he circled around and found the route they had taken to leave.

He looked back at Ye Bai, "I’ll go down first to test it. If there’s no danger, you can follow."

Ye Bai looked at Shen You and nodded.

Shen You looked at Ye Bai, amazed that she trusted him so much, unafraid that he might leave her behind.

In the data, there were instances of comrades doubting each other and fighting amongst themselves.

Thinking of this, as he looked at Ye Bai, there was a gentle warmth in his eyes.

Ye Bai said, "Be careful of your wound."

Shen You replied, "Okay."

He stepped into the swamp, holding a probing staff, and slid in with a half-reclining body. As expected, it was much shallower in the front, allowing him to step inside and walk.

He turned back to look at Ye Bai, not daring to leave her alone on top.

Because there were too many uncertainties, it was safer for her to follow behind him.

Moreover, in this swamp, taking a wrong step could be a disaster, and following him ensured she wouldn’t step in the wrong place.

Ye Bai mimicked Shen You and, being naturally fit and light, quickly reached Shen You’s side.

Shen You used the probing staff to continuously search for the safest route, proceeding slowly with each step.

Ye Bai followed, using the probing staff to double-check.

Soon, the two of them had advanced a hundred meters.

Shen You thought that it was only about a 530-meter distance from here, making it hopeful to get out at this pace.

At the shallowest point, the two stopped to rest.

Ye Bai looked at Shen You’s broad shoulders, initially thinking he was frail, but didn’t expect that even injured, he could be so resilient.

Shen You dared not move recklessly, didn’t turn back, and only asked in a low voice, "Rested enough?"

Ye Bai responded, "Yes."

Shen You extended the cane forward; it was nearly submerged without reaching the bottom. He realized this was the place described in the guide, where eight people together resulted in three sacrifices in this deep pit, which was large and impassable.

According to the records, to the left, there was a hard path like a small road, probably made of stones, which could be bypassed, but it was quite dangerous because it was narrow. A careless wrong step could result in—
