The sorrow in the starry night stretches like a string.

Hiding in the cave, but the crisis is wandering.

November 6, 2021 2:05 p.m

I came to Xia Cheng and Hu Zaide's side, Xia Cheng hid behind the fence of the farm, Hu Zaide trembled behind him, Xia Cheng looked through the fence to see the situation on the other side of the farm.

"How? Xia Cheng, have you found any traces of the 'mysterious man'? I whispered beside Xia Cheng.

"No, it looks like he's hiding somewhere." Xia Cheng speculated.

"Xia Cheng, Cui Li found a bus on the edge of the farm, we can take the bus to leave here, so that the 'mystery man' will definitely not be able to catch up with us again." Before I could finish my words, Hu Zaide asked very happily: "Cheng Yin, are you ...... You say you found the bus? True...... Are you sure? Then I'...... We're not in a hurry yet...... Get out of here...... Here, still waiting...... What are you waiting for? ”

"Buses? But what are you going to do about it? I guess the owner of the bus didn't turn off the engine when he left. Xia Cheng asked hesitantly.

Cui Li said that he would have a way, and he swore that he would do it. I really want to imitate Cui Li's confident expression at that time.

Cui ...... Cui Li? Hu Zaide looked anxious.

"However, there is no other way, one more second here is equal to one more second of danger, and there is a good chance that the 'mystery man' will find us. It's better to see if the bus can be started by us, so that at least there is a glimmer of hope. Xia Cheng nodded and began to move in the direction of the bus.

Hu Zaide staggered behind, and just as we came to the vicinity of the bus, we happened to see Li Ruina also rushing towards the bus with Lin Yun.

A few of us came to the door of the bus, only to see Cui Li standing helplessly next to the door, looking helpless.

"Cui Li, didn't you say that there is a way to start the bus? Why are you standing outside the car now? I asked anxiously.

"The car door can't be opened......" Cui Li's expression was also helpless.

"Hit ...... Can't open your ...... You'll just find a way to get the car ...... The door slammed open!! "Hu Zaide looks like he hates iron but not steel, in fact, he is the most anxious among us.

"The sound of smashing is too loud, the 'mystery man' will definitely hear it, and then we won't have time to start the bus, and the 'mystery man' will already find us, what should we do?" Lin Yun said in confusion.

"We need time...... But...... "I'm not done yet."

"I'll go, I'll find a way to lure the 'mystery man' away, you guys will take this opportunity to smash the car door, and then find a way to start the bus, if I ......" Xia Cheng's expression was solemn.

"Xia Cheng, what do you say? You'll be fine. Lin Yun stopped Xia Cheng from continuing.

"Don't worry, Lin Yun." Xia Cheng turned his head to look at Cui Li and said, "Cui Li, it's up to you." After he finished speaking, he suddenly ran to the other side of the farm, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Come with me, everyone, let's run in the direction of the AEF research center, it is the safest place now!"

Xia Cheng deliberately gave wrong instructions to mislead the judgment of the 'mystery man'.

I skillfully wrapped my coat around my hand and smashed the glass window above the bus door hard, but before I could smash the glass window, suddenly Li Ruina took the wooden board in Hu Zaide's hand and smashed it against the glass window, only to hear a loud noise, and the glass window above the bus door was smashed like this. Li Ruina gave me a handsome look.

We quickly opened the bus door, and after that it was all up to Cui Li, if the 'mystery man' noticed the noise, he would soon be coming towards our bus, so time is precious to us now.

Cui Li's sweat flowed down his cheeks, he knocked the console of the cab, pulled out two wires from it, collided together, and some sparks appeared in an instant, but the bus was still not started.

Cui ...... Cui Li, you ...... What the hell are you doing...... Okay, huh? Hu Zaide looked very anxious from the sidelines.

"Don't rush him, he will." I believe in Cui Li.

Suddenly, we heard several gunshots, and as we got closer and closer, it seemed that the 'mystery man' had spotted us and was heading in the direction of the bus.

"Cui Li, hurry up!! The Mystery Man's coming this way.

"I know, don't rush me to ......" Cui Li was already sweating profusely at this time.

Just as Cui Li started the bus, the bullet flew through the glass window in front of Lin Yun and past her face. She screamed in panic.

"Cui Li, hurry up, the 'mystery man' is coming.

Just as we kept urging, suddenly the engine of the bus sounded.

"It worked!! It worked!!! Cui Li cheered happily.

"Cui Li, now is not the time to be happy, let's get out of here quickly, but we have to find Xia Cheng first and take him out of here together." I said.

The bus was moving quickly, and we saw that Summer City was not far from us.

Soon we were driving to Xia Cheng's side.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Cui Li pressed the button to open the door with one hand, urging Xia Cheng at the same time.

At this time, the 'mysterious man' was chasing after the bus, shooting and attacking, the rear window of the bus was shattered by bullets, and the scattered glass fell on the car.

We hid behind the seats, leaning against the broken glass, and Cui Li couldn't slow down the car at this time, so Xia Cheng could only keep running with the bus. On several occasions he almost caught the handle of the bus door, but he still failed to grasp it and missed the bus.

"Xia Cheng, there is a highway ahead, I have to speed up, otherwise once the tires are blown up by the 'mysterious man', we will all be finished, you hurry up!" Cui Li anxiously shouted to Xia Cheng outside the car.

But the pace of Xia Cheng began to slow down significantly, and he was almost unable to keep up with our bus anymore. At this critical moment, I quickly ran to the side of the car door, leaned against the car door, stretched out my left hand to Xia Cheng outside the car, and shouted, "Xia Cheng, come up!" Didn't you say we'd leave together? You can't give up here! ”

Xia Cheng used the last of his strength, ran a few quick steps, and then leaped away, his hands tightly grasping my arms. But with my strength, it was difficult to pull Xia Cheng onto the bus with one hand, so I quickly turned my head and shouted to Hu Zaide in the carriage: "Come and help!" ”

But Hu Zaide didn't come over at this time.

"Hurry up, there's no time!" I snapped at one point.

Hu Zaide slowly moved his body to the side of the car door, grabbed Xia Cheng, and the two of us worked together to barely pull Xia Cheng onto the bus.

The bullet hit the wooden stake on the side of the road, Cui Liyang immediately closed the car door, and rushed to the road in front of him left and right.

"Great!! saved!! We are saved!! "yes, that's great, the 'mystery man' will definitely not be able to catch up with us anymore."

"Cui Li, let's drive back to the city like this."

…………

The atmosphere in the car was noticeably relaxed, and everyone lay down on the seats to rest.

I suddenly thought of something, looked at Cui Li who was driving, and asked, "Cui Li, I never remember you telling me that you learned to drive, you ...... Have you ever had a driver's license? I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Cui Li.

Cui Li stared ahead with his eyes, holding the steering wheel in a good manner, bent to the left and then to the right, and replied to me casually: "Driver's license?" How could I have passed. However, I have a relative who used to be a bus driver, and when I was young, I was interested in learning some driving skills from him. But I don't think there's a problem, don't you think I'm doing this well? ”

I have only learned a few driving skills......

I suddenly felt a pang of tension inside me. I'm really stupid, I want to know how this kid can have a driver's license and know how to drive such a difficult bus?

I looked around at the people in the car again and sighed deeply.

But now, it can only be like this, anyway, Cui Li, this kid barely understands some driving skills, and the others probably haven't even touched the steering wheel.

I thought so, and suddenly I leaned over and almost fell to the ground.

"Cui Li, you can't drive! Didn't you keep saying that there was no problem? I slowly stood up with the guardrail on the side, and saw a cowshed about 50 meters ahead. The calves in the cowshed were frightened and panicked and crashed into the railing on the side...... Run away...... It seems that they have also learned Cui Li's driving skills......

"Turn left, turn left!" I shouted.

"Left? Which one is left?! Cui Li was clearly panicked.

"You can't tell the direction and say you can drive?" As soon as I grabbed the steering wheel, I headed to the left......

"I can't drive, but I can tell the difference between left and right!" I blamed Cui Li. He bowed his head like a child who had confessed his mistake and stopped talking.

Just then, the 'mystery man' suddenly jumped onto a motorcycle that was idle and kept shooting at us in the rear. He shattered the bus's mirror with one shot, and Hu Zaide immediately hid behind his seat with his head in his hands.

"Hurry, hurry!" I urged Cui Li on the side vigorously. The sweat on Cui Li's head dripped down the steering wheel one by one. I saw him press the accelerator hard, and the bus drove forward like a wild horse on the loose.

The figure of the 'mysterious man' on the motorcycle became more and more unable to chase after him, and gradually disappeared into the rear.

November 6, 2021 at 3:10 p.m

"Great! Finally got rid of him! Cui Li was ecstatic, humming a little song with a proud face, and drove all the way forward......

Everyone settled down, and just wanted to get up and stand up, but they heard Cui Li suddenly scream, and then there was a sharp turn, and the whole body turned into the river on the side.

"What's going on? What's going on? Before everyone could fully react, Xia Cheng had already swam in front of Lin Yun, grabbed her arm with one hand, and supported her to swim to the shore.

Li Ruina quickly left the bus and swam to the shore.

I also reacted quickly, directly pulled Cui Li out of the driver's seat and immediately swam to Hu Zaide's side, pulling him towards the shore.

"Is there anyone left alone and trapped in the bus?" I quickly went back and counted the number of people, and after making sure that no one was single, I sat on the floor and gasped.

"Cui Li, you said that you kid, you are usually unreliable, why are you so unreliable when it is critical, and you actually drove the car into the river?" I reproached.

Cui Li lowered his head very low, and replied to me in a very soft voice: "I'm ...... I didn't happen to see a cow running down the road, so I tried to avoid it, but I accidentally turned a corner and drove into the river......"

"Got a cow? You're embarrassed to say it...... I think it's playing the piano to a cow. I glared at Cui Li and sighed helplessly.

"I ...... I...... We can't...... At...... At...... Stay here, stay here...... True...... True...... It's just too dangerous. I...... We're going to do it...... Way to get out of this ...... Over here. ”

Hu Zaide looked around in a panic and said with a nervous expression.

"Lecturer Hu is right, we have just gotten rid of the 'mystery man', and he may catch up anytime and anywhere." Lin Yun looked at us and said.

"But we only have two legs, and the 'mystery man' is riding a motorcycle, so we can't run away." Cui Li in a word.

"Cui Li is right, run, we definitely can't run away. In that case, then let's not run, just hide. Li Ruina suggested.

Lee's proposal may be the only way to go. Indeed, in this case, if we run, we will definitely not be able to outrun the motorcycle of the 'mysterious man', and we will have to hide for now. But where can we hide? Where is it not easy to be found by him......

I looked around – it was a barren place, with no half-human figures, no tiled farmhouses, no shelters from the rain, and all I could see was ruined farmland that was untended.

Well? Where is it?

I looked intently, and behind a few tall and dense trees, I could faintly see a cave at the foot of the mountain behind me, blocked by wild grass.

Looks like it's a good place to take refuge, we can rest inside for a while now, and make plans when the 'mystery man' leaves.

"Hide? But where are we hiding? Cui Li asked.

"Maybe it will work there." I pointed to a cave not far away. They also looked together in the direction I was pointing.

"I think so, there's no other place to hide here anyway, so let's go there. It also looks discreet enough. "Li Ruina accepted my suggestion.

"Okay, then we'll go there. Until the 'mystery man' finds me, let's hurry up. Xia Cheng commanded everyone to walk towards the cave.
