"Ah Nian, I can’t walk anymore. You all go on ahead, I’ll rest here for a bit. After I’ve rested, I’ll catch up with you."
"Wuzhi, stand up, I’ll support you. Let’s keep moving forward. Another two kilometers, and we should reach the deepest part, then we can rest."
"Two kilometers... no, no, I really can’t."
It’s not a two-kilometer park track, this is two kilometers of mountain path!
Wen Nian slightly frowned, looking at Zhongli Wuzhi, who was already hot and red-faced with exhaustion. He understood that it wasn’t that Zhongli Wuzhi had poor stamina, but that the amount of exercise had already exceeded his limit.
Lu Xiaoer had been sitting in the car for the past two days, and even when escaping injuries, someone had carried him.
Today, although his body felt better and he was able to endure the mountain paths, it was still tiring.
Song Yangling and he both had many years of military training, so this bit of mountain road would not deter them.
Lili was pregnant and it somewhat affected her stamina, she was also suffering now...
Actually, Zhongli Wuzhi had it the hardest; his stamina was only enough for regular workouts, and these past few days he had taken care of Xiaoer and had been constantly on the move.
Today, he indeed was somewhat overextended.
"Let’s rest here for twenty minutes."
This place was already quite hidden.
Even if someone did catch up, it wouldn’t be so soon.
Zhongli Wuzhi stretched out his long legs, leaned against a tree, and closed his eyes.
Lu Xiaoer sat down next to him, took a big gulp of water, and also closed his eyes to rest.
Zhongli Wuzhi probably never thought that one day, these brief twenty minutes would feel so wonderful, so comfortable.
Wen Nian walked back to Song Lili, took some food and drink for her,
"We will rest for twenty minutes before moving on. Ah Zhi is too exhausted, pushing on might cause problems."
Although she faintly felt this place was still not safe enough...
She leaned against Wen Nian,
"Why not check if there’s anyone following our direction first?"
Song Lili pointed at his wristwatch.
The wristwatch displayed a holographic image, and Wen Nian input a long string of codes.
For devices like the "small core" weapons that Rolls Cheling represented, obtaining them wasn’t actually the hardest but using them was.
The long sequence of command codes, ordinary people simply couldn’t remember it.
"How many such command codes are there?"
"About one hundred and eighty sets."
One hundred and eighty sets of codes, controlling nearly two hundred system switches.
This wristwatch was directly linked to the military weapons system of country G.
Without such highly secure command codes for protection, should the wristwatch fall into the wrong hands, it would become a huge security risk for the related national military weapons system.
"Besides you, does anyone else understand the codes for this wristwatch?"
"No one," Wen Nian responded decisively.
"But now, I actually want to teach you one."
Wen Nian leaned into Song Lili’s ear, softly reciting a long string, and Song Lili blinked at him.
"If one day I die, you can use this string of codes to destroy this wristwatch."
"To hell with that! Don’t say such ominous things!"
Song Lili immediately rolled her eyes at him, not taking his words seriously.
Wen Nian whispered the code again into her ear.
Song Lili frowned, not wanting to engage with him, yet... she memorized it silently.
Wen Nian smiled at her and then touched her slightly protruding belly,
"Little troublemaker, you be good, okay? Don’t make it too hard for mom."
"How could he understand what you’re saying at this size?"
Song Lili laughed at him.
Wen Nian wrapped his arm around Song Lili’s neck, leaned in, and kissed her.
He really did just grab her face and kiss her all the time now, really... it was quite speechless.
After all, they were both in their thirties, yet he acted like a teenager.
Wen Nian checked the image, zoomed in on the map, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Within five kilometers, he did not detect any red dots, but beyond five kilometers, about a dozen red dots were moving in their direction.
They were moving slowly, clearly on foot.
Wen Nian frowned slightly,
"It seems they are really determined to flush us out."
Song Lili had no doubts about this.
The fact that the pursuers were moving so quickly only meant one possibility, that Wen Nian was indeed spotted.
Even if it wasn’t firm belief, it was necessary to come and verify.
For the current rebel army, having Wen Nian on their territory undoubtedly presented them a perfect opportunity to disrupt the war.
