There was no alternate day and night here. Only this exhaustion reminded the two of them that they had not rested for a long time.
“Miss Chen, rest for a while. Even if you want to go out, you have to recuperate.” Su Yun said softly, as if he was worried that he would disturb the quiet woman in front of him.
Chen Jie nodded when she heard that. Then, she stood up uneasily, picked up his clothes, and walked towards the river not far away. “Go to sleep first. I’ll help you wash your clothes so that you can wear them tomorrow.”
Su Yun looked at Chen Jie’s figure and wanted to say something, but Chen Jie did not give him the chance. The beautiful figure squatted by the river, her clothes perfectly revealing a mature outline. Immediately after, there was a subtle sound of washing.
Su Yun smiled helplessly. From the beginning, he had felt that Chen Jie was a little strange. But guessing women’s thoughts had never been his forte. Besides, he had more important things to do now.
Su Yun quickly lay down in the simple tent in exhaustion. Although he had closed his eyes, his mind was still thinking about what had happened. After first seeing the cliff that blocked the way, he attempted to climb it. However, the surface of the mountain was very smooth. There was no origin of force for him to climb at all.
This forced Su Yun to give up on this thought, but at the same time, he realized that if he wanted to leave this place, this was something he had to resolve. It would be great if he could artificially create some force points on the mountain, but Su Yun only had a wooden saber beside him.
Chen Jie had also brought excavable tools to Professor Sun and the others in the ancient tomb. The division of labor was different. Chen Jie collected traces and prepared to bring them back for chemistry research. She did not need those tools at all. The subsequent collapse buried the tools that could not be taken away in time. Even with those tools, they were actually useless in the face of such a natural danger.
Just like extreme sportsmen climbing with their bare hands, they also needed a foothold and handhold to complete the climb. It was impossible for them to climb on a bare mirror, right? It was estimated to be more than 50 meters high, which was the height of 15 floors. Moreover, there was no leverage at all. It was no different from a fool’s dream to climb up.
“How can I get out?” Su Yun could not help but look at the wooden saber in his hand that was still stained with black blood. However, its current limit was to cause damage to carbon-based creatures.
It was impossible to use a wooden saber to chisel a leverage point on the mountain. This was no different from throwing an egg at a rock. No matter how precise the throwing technique was, the quality of the object itself was not enough.
Furthermore, Su Yun had already walked around the vicinity. There were no substitute tools. Hence, he was actually worried. However, he knew that Chen Jie was already depressed enough, so he did not want to add to her worries.
The way out from here should only be where the airflow at the top of the cliff came from.
Su Yun was only guessing at the moment. After all, if he wanted to come to a conclusion, he had to go up and take a look himself. However, this was the only hope. He was also thinking of a solution for this hope.
“The smoke can’t drift out either. The distance is too high, and the cave is too winding. It’s useless to call for help.”
It was not that Su Yun had never tried to call for help through the smoke, but it was a little difficult to reach a height of 50 meters. Therefore, in all sorts of helplessness, Su Yun wondered if he could rely on his unique skills to resolve his current predicament.
When this thought appeared in his mind, it lingered for a long time. In the current environment, Su Yun could only rely on himself. The wooden saber lay quietly beside Su Yun. This became Su Yun’s only reliance.
Unknowingly, Su Yun fell asleep while deep in thought. He was really too tired. If not for his perseverance, Su Yun would have collapsed long ago. From the beginning, he killed more than ten mercenaries in a row in the tomb passage as a Macheteman.
When the tomb collapsed, they crawled out of the passageway and groped their way here. From the beginning to the end, Su Yun did not rest. Therefore, his breathing quickly stabilized. In this peaceful world, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and rested.
Chen Jie’s thoughts, on the other hand, were in a mess as she washed Su Yun’s clothes. The current situation and her worry for Professor Sun and the others made Chen Jie feel a little anxious and insecure.
However, Su Yun’s figure kept appearing in her mind. This was because he was currently her only companion and could only lean on each other for help. During the trials and tribulations, the distance between the two of them quickly shortened.
This was a psychological change caused by a person in a special environment, making Chen Jie unable to suppress it.
After washing his clothes, Chen Jie returned and carefully placed them on a branch beside the bonfire. Only then did she notice that Su Yun was already sound asleep. Perhaps because he was too tired, Su Yun was still bare-chested. He did not even have any clothes that could cover him.
Chen Jie gently walked to Su Yun’s side. Looking at the simple tent that was not very spacious, Chen Jie finally sat beside Su Yun after a mental struggle. She took off her coat and covered Su Yun.
The unintentional touch of her fingertips made Chen Jie feel as if she had been electrocuted. She had never thought that such a day would come for her. However, the person lying beside her with his upper body bare was a few years younger than her. He was even her student in name.
“Haa!” This made Chen Jie feel a little uncomfortable, but she warned herself again and again. The situation was special now. Furthermore, if not for Su Yun, he would probably have died in the tomb.
What they had to do was to leave this place as soon as possible, not to fuss over such small matters. A mature woman was always very rational. She would not dwell on small matters for half a day.
Just like this tent, there were a few layers of leaves under it that could effectively isolate the cold air on the ground. After all, this place had been buried for countless years. Not to mention the cold air, even if there were any inconspicuous insects in the ground, they might bring them a new crisis.
Therefore, there was nothing more important than living.
Chen Jie comforted herself in her heart. At the same time, she gently lay down beside Su Yun. She could clearly hear Su Yun’s even breathing. She could even feel Su Yun’s body temperature through her clothes.
Chen Jie did not know how long her imagination ran wild, nor did she know when she fell asleep. However, she had regained her sense of security after a long time..
