Su An’s large body collapsed straightly. He didn’t even try to struggle or grab the trees around him. It looked like he had already lost his consciousness. It was Su Xiaoxiao who had been dragging him out of the forest. She didn’t give up.
Fatty, who saw this scene, moved his throat. Then, he turned to Jiang Cheng. Before he said anything, he saw Jiang Cheng race towards the Su Siblings. A few seconds later, Fatty reacted. He also ran over to help.
Jiang Cheng picked up the small Su Xiaoxiao and threw her at Fatty like she was a bag. Then, Jiang Cheng hauled up Su An and ran… like there was something chasing after them inside the forest.
After what happened earlier, Fatty’s fear of the forest had reached its peak. He didn’t take another glance. He carried Su Xiaoxiao, turned and ran.
Even though Jiang Cheng was carrying Su An, he was as fast as if he was flying. Fatty almost couldn’t catch up to him. They ran until they reached the cliff. Instantly after they stopped, Jiang Cheng started to examine the sibling’s injuries.
Su Xiaoxiao looked fine. She suffered from light surface injuries. Most of them were caused by trekking through the forest. Her eyes were shut. If not for her rapid breathing, she looked like an exquisite doll.
Su An’s situation was worse. Other than the surface wounds similar to Su Xiaoxiao, there was a gash underneath his left rib and waist. Blood dyed his clothes.
Fatty helped remove Su An’s clothes. The latter’s clothes were sticky with blood and dirt.
“Doctor,” Fatty gasped audibly, “What is this?” Jiang Cheng, who was checking the wound under Su An’s left rib, frowned. He lifted his head and turned to where Fatty was pointing. The next second, his pupils trembled violently.
Someone fired a gun in the forest!
Hearing that, Fatty’s face shook. Then, he gathered his courage to kneel on the ground. He examined Su An’s right shoulder again. Eventually, he asked, “Doctor… Do you mean they ran into someone with a gun… Or something with a gun in the forest?”
Jiang Cheng didn’t answer. Old information was deconstructed, and new information was filed in his eyes.
“Doctor!” Fatty seemed to remember something, “Could it be the aged woman’s teammates? They are not dead and are inside this forest!” In the aged woman’s story, a group of people suddenly took over the boat before the shipwreck happened. Plus, they had a lot of weapons and ammo with them. The ship even had whaling cannons.
The clues slowly connected. Fatty’s face paled. He croaked, “The ship is meant to kill that whale! The shipwreck was not an incident. It was done by that whale. It is… guarding this place! They’re here this time to kill it!”
Fatty was close to a breakdown. After he heard the whale song, Fatty’s impression of the whale underwent a huge change. Now, he’d rather face a devilish ghost than this whale. Thinking back to that impressive and hollow song… Could a human really stand up to something like that?
Jiang Cheng shook his head. Then, he gave an answer that stunned Fatty, “You’re not accurate. They’re not here to kill it but to capture it.” He paused and turned to the sea.
Fatty’s heart chilled. Just as he thought about saying something else, Jiang Cheng slowly stood up to look at Su Xiaoxiao. The latter had her head titled to the side. Her eyes were closed.
“You can keep on acting to eavesdrop on us.” Jiang Cheng commented evenly, “But I’m telling you. We haven’t dressed your brother’s wound. His blood… is about to flow until it’s dry.”
Instantly, Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flew open. She stood up unsteadily. However, based on her condition, she was awake for a while already. She didn’t waste time and ran to Su An. After examining his wounds, she tore off her jacket into strips to bandage Su An.
Fatty checked where Su Xiaoxiao was lying. There was a sharp stone. However, he remembered there was nothing there when he put Su Xiaoxiao there earlier. This bloody woman…
After she used her jacket, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Fatty and then at Jiang Cheng. She reached her hand out at the latter, “Give me your clothes.”
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and didn’t move.
“Give me your clothes!” Su Xiaoxiao ordered, “If you want to know what’s in the forest,” She paused and threatened, “If something happens to my little brother, we’ll all die.”
“Fatty,” Jiang Cheng looked at Fatty, “Give her your clothes.”
“I don’t want his. His is dirty. I want yours!” Su Xiaoxiao demanded, “Quickly!”
Since Fatty had been dragged on the ground for more than 100 meters, his wet clothes were covered in sand and pebbles. However, the rejection still hurt.
Jiang Cheng grabbed Fatty’s clothes and threw them on Su Xiaoxiao’s face. He mocked, “Take it or leave it.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t waste time. She shredded Fatty’s outside. Then, she bandaged her brother. Her actions were so smooth that it suggested this was not her first time doing this.
Then, Fatty moved forward to help move Su An to a rock that shielded them from the wind. Due to blood loss, Su An’s face and lips were white. Fatty didn’t think Su An had a high probability of survival. After all, they lacked food, water and medical supplies.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside Jiang Cheng. She looked so young for her age. Fatty glanced at her. She didn’t look like she was a pushover.
Without any preamble, Su Xiaoxiao began, “Something is strange about this forest.”
