She turned around and was shocked to find that the person who had been following her all along had not caught up.
"Ou Mucen? Why have you stopped walking?"
She looked at the man who had abandoned the dead twigs, his right hand now gripping the grass root beside him, slightly bent over at the waist, and hurried back to him: "What’s wrong with you?"
He had a germ phobia, and earlier he didn’t even want to touch these grass roots, even breaking them with dead twigs before coming over. Why was he holding onto it now?
Ye Ning’s heart sprouted a bad premonition and she walked over to take a closer look at what was wrong with him.
But at that moment, he suddenly stood up straight and his hand quickly let go of the grass root: "It’s nothing, how much longer until we can get out?
"Soon... very soon..." Ye Ning stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with the dense sweat beads on his forehead, and his face that seemed a bit pale.
Or was it water from when they came out of the sea that hadn’t dried?
"Then let’s hurry, it’s getting late. If we don’t get out soon, it will be dark," Ou Mucen said casually, and then he was the first to step forward and walk on.
At his departure, Ye Ning paused again!
However, since he was moving forward, she followed along, and the two of them continued walking through the grass for about ten minutes.
After about ten minutes, finally, the view ahead started to brighten. Seeing this, Ye Ning’s eyes lit up: "Mucen, look, we’re about to get out."
Mucen saw it too, so he took the grass twig in his hand and swung it at the last clump of grass!
It was at this moment that the sharp pain in his upper left abdomen, which had appeared not long ago, struck again. It felt like something was tearing inside, and in the span of one second, he collapsed to the ground without any warning.
Ye Ning, who saw it from behind, was dumbfounded. Once she realized what had happened, she screamed and rushed over: "Ou Mucen? Mucen!!!"
But his response was impressively quick. Within less than three seconds, he had already fallen into unconsciousness on the ground, unresponsive to her calls.
Ye Ning was petrified, disregarding everything, she crouched in front of him, only then noticing that his entire body was as if lifted out of water once more, covered in sweat beads like raindrops.
And his lips, the firmly closed lips, were devoid of any color.
So the beads of water on his forehead just now, they were not as she thought, but actually his cold sweat?
Ye Ning began to shiver all over, bending over to pick him up from the ground, she started panicking and begging him: "Mucen, wake up, please wake up, don’t scare me, Mucen..."
The last few words were almost cried out!
She had no choice, she had never seen him fall in front of her , so unexpectedly and so rapidly. For her, it was something she had never even contemplated.
But now, he had truly collapsed in front of her, and within three seconds, was completely unconscious. A man so tall and strong now lay in her arms, unresponsive.
"Mucen, I beg you, wake up..."
But what made her more and more panic-stricken was that no matter how she called out to him, he remained unresponsive, as if he had fallen into an eternal sleep.
