After wandering aimlessly in the forest for half an hour and confirming that he was not being followed, Chu Tianjiang went straight to the place where Rachel and the others were hiding.

Although the thrilling story told by Stephani is not much of a problem in terms of logic and is also in human feelings, Chu Tianjiang always has a feeling of listening to the story, that is, it is not real enough. What Chu Tianjiang couldn't understand the most was why Stephanie wanted him to take Melanie.

If Melanie is really her biological daughter who is willing to sacrifice everything to protect, and is the first X-Warrior, or the only X-Warrior with full superpower potential so far, she is tantamount to making Melanie a hostage, and the value of hostages is that she has to use all her strength to save Rachel and the others. The problem is, she made it clear that there is no absolute certainty that Rachel will be cured.

Although Chu Tianjiang has agreed to her condition, that is, regardless of whether Rachel and the others can be cured or not, he will take Melanie out of the United States, but this is only Chu Tianjiang's verbal guarantee, and Chu Tianjiang's public identity is an agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, what reason does Stephani have to believe that an agent, to be precise, a spy who will not stop until he achieves his goal, and also handed over hostages for this?

Perhaps, she just hoped to convince Chu Tianjiang that she would do her best to save Rachel and them, so that Chu Tianjiang would do her best to escort Melanie out of the United States.

Seeing Rachel and the others, Chu Tianjiang told the story of finding Stephanie and the story she told.

The seven "flower butterflies" were amazed, and even Rachel was no exception.

"You haven't heard of it before?"

"No, I've never heard the professor mention it, but I know that Stephani is the professor's wife, and the professor does not have sexual ability, and the others don't know about it."

"Where's Melanie?"

"She's indeed Stephanie's research assistant, but her relationship with Stephani ......" Rachel saw that Chu Tianjiang was suspicious, "Do you think Stephani is lying?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Chu Tianjiang sighed. It would be nice if Zhang Xiaogang was here. He could certainly see the problem at a glance.

"If Stephanie can't believe me, we'll get out of here."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Rachel.

"She also said that it may not be able to cure us, you have taken a big risk for us, if this is a trap against us......"

"It may not cure you, but it does not necessarily mean that it cannot cure you." Chu Tianjiang stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Rachel's tall nose, "Besides, after going through so many difficulties and obstacles, I finally got here, and I can't afford to lose my success." Even if it's a trap, I can escape with you. This is your only hope of survival, even if it is only one in 10,000, you have to gamble. ”

Nichol leaned on Chu Tianjiang, she knew Chu Tianjiang best, and knew that Chu Tianjiang would do this.

Rachel knew that for their sake, even if it was really a trap, Chu Tianjiang would jump into it.

"Alright, let's be happy. Perhaps, you'll be well tomorrow, aren't you worth rejoicing? ”

Maya knew it in her heart, because Chu Tianjiang had saved her twice.

The other four people were the same, and even more moved, because this was the first time that Chu Tianjiang had made it clear that he would not hesitate to take a desperate risk for them.

Rachel sighed and said, "Can you accompany me out for a walk?" ”

"I'm going too." Nicol has been sticking to Chu Tianjiang, and he is unwilling to part with Chu Tianjiang for a second.

"We're going too!" The other four "flower butterflies" said at the same time, and even Maya, who was lying down, raised her head and looked at Chu Tianjiang expectantly.

Seeing this situation, Chu Tianjiang's head suddenly grew. What if they don't have hope of being rescued, and they want to regret the last night of their lives?

"It's okay, after a day in the car, everyone goes out for a walk." Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, hoping that these little ladies would be more shy and would not let go of their reserve in front of everyone. Either way, it's safer than taking Rachel and Nichole out of the way.

Chu Tianjiang picked up Maya and got out of the car, and walked towards the depths of the woods with the other six people.

While northern New Mexico is dominated by deserts, the town of Los Alamos is close to the Loland River, which is flanked by typical temperate broadleaf forests.

Following the sound of the water, Chu Tianjiang and the others came to a river beach separated by cliffs at both ends.

Although it is night, you can see through the moonlight that the scenery here is beautiful, and there are no people living nearby, so the environment is very well protected. It is not surprising that dozens of kilometers near the Alamos laboratory have been designated as a military exclusion zone, and civilians are not allowed to enter at all.

The water is very slow, and it's early September, with nighttime temperatures approaching 20 degrees Celsius and water temperatures not low.

How nice it would be if you could live with the people you love in such a world for a lifetime, living a life of men plowing and women weaving, working at sunrise and resting at sunset! Without modern transportation equipment and modern communication tools, maybe life will be a little monotonous, maybe life will be very hard, but thinking of the chaotic situation outside and the upcoming troubled times, Chu Tianjiang can't help but have a beautiful vision of pastoral life, and even has an impulse to stay in this river valley and never leave.

Of course, this is just a thought that flashes and disappears suddenly.

"Let's go down for a swim!" Nichol shouted, and Chu Tianjiang came back to his senses violently.

"Okay, go down to the river and swim. After a day in the car, I was covered in stinky sweat. Chloe responded immediately.

"However, we didn't bring swimsuits, and ......" Isabella glanced at Chu Tianjiang, who was holding Maya, indicating that there was another man here.

"What are you afraid of, can't you swim without a swimsuit? Besides, there are no outsiders here. Rachel took off her T-shirt and jeans and walked into the river.

Nichole immediately followed, and Chloe hesitated for a moment before pulling Michelle into the water before taking off her shirt and pants. Isabella and Kelly are a little embarrassed, but after Rachel waves at them, they also go into the water. In less than a moment, only Chu Tianjiang, who was holding Maya, was left on the shore.

"Wooden man, what are you doing standing there, come down too!" Rachel swam around and returned to the shallow shore water.

Chu Tianjiang didn't want to go into the water, and Maya was weak, not only did she not have the strength to swim, but she couldn't get cold, so she couldn't be left alone on the shore.

"The water here is so hot, there seems to be a hot spring down there."

Hearing Nichol's shout, Chloe, who had come closer, swam over, and immediately shouted that there was a spring in the riverbed.

Rachel climbed ashore naked, walked over and grabbed Chu Tianjiang's arm. "Let's go, you don't want to swim, it's okay to take Maya to the hot springs, right?"

Now, Chu Tianjiang really has no reason not to go into the water.

"Hold Maya, don't move." Rachel helped Chu Tianjiang take off his clothes, and then took off his pants for him, taking this opportunity to take advantage of a lot.

Chu Tianjiang was very helpless, so he could only hurry into the water, otherwise Rachel would do something even more excessive.

Holding Maya and letting her stay on the water, Chu Tianjiang tread water all the way to the vicinity of the hot spring. Feeling that the water temperature was obviously warmer, Chu Tianjiang slowly put Maya into the water. It wasn't until her body sank below the surface of the water that Chu Tianjiang supported Maya's head with his arms and let her lie on her back.

By the time we reached the spring, the water temperature had exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.

This is a very rare hot spring at the bottom of the river, and the water flow near the spring is pale green, indicating that the spring water is rich in various minerals.

Chu Tianjiang knew that this kind of hot spring was the most beneficial for patients with weak systems.

After a few minutes, the complexion on Maya's face changed, and although it was still painfully pale, it looked a little bloody.

In addition, the other six "flower butterflies" are also more energetic.

"Mr. Yan, do you hate me?"

"Why do I hate you?" Chu Tianjiang has been guarding Maya. Although her complexion was a little better, she was still very weak.

"You saved me twice, I didn't help you like Nichole and Rachel, and added a lot of trouble......"

"For that, I should hate you?"

"I'm a useless person, I ......"

"Do you know the way? Everyone lives in this world and has the meaning of living, even if they are fools and idiots, they also have the value of existence, let alone you? ”

"I can't even take care of myself, I'm really useless."

"Don't be stupid, you're badly injured. Listen to Nichol, you're much better than her, the most clever of all of you. ”

Maya gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Yan, if I can get better, can you promise me one thing?" ”

"As long as you get better, I will promise you anything." Chu Tianjiang just responded casually, thinking that saying this would make Maya feel better.

"When I'm ready, I'm going to follow you all the time, you can't abandon me."

"What!?"

"I ...... I'm not like Nichol, I'm not like Rachel, I don't ask you to promise anything, I don't want to be famous, I just want to repay you. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "If you want to repay me, you will live well and live a long life." ”

"If you don't say yes, I'd rather die now."

"Fools, don't say stupid things. You have to live well. ”

"I'm not a fool, I can agree to your request, but you must also promise me that you will never drive me away, and that I will always follow you."

Chu Tianjiang was silent, although Maya didn't ask for fame, it didn't mean that Chu Tianjiang didn't care.

"If you don't agree, I won't go tomorrow."

"Mayan ......"

"You said that everyone has a meaning in life, and if you let me live, you have to let me see the meaning of life, and following you is the meaning of my life." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "I can promise you, but you have to know that I can't give you anything." ”

"You've given me a lot, including my life, and twice."

At this time, the surrounding water surface was tumbling, and Rachel and the other six people emerged from the water like mermaids, just surrounding Chu Tianjiang and Maya in the middle.

Seeing this, Chu Tianjiang suddenly realized that this was a trap!
