"Even if it is death, it cannot fall into the hands of Charles," Cai Wenyue thought to himself, because it was now during the academic exchange conference, and if he was caught by DeLong and Astoria, it would almost be certain that the United States would use himself to attack Huaguo's international reputation and make Huaguo more passive in future international affairs.

After Cai Wenyue made up his mind, he decided to drive into the group of corpses on the opposite bank, but just as he started the car again, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the river under the bridge.

didn't have time to think about it, he decisively chose to abandon the car. Behind them, Delong and Dolph's car also arrived, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Cai Wenyue suddenly get out of the car and raise his gun to shoot at him.

DeLong and Dolph hurriedly retracted their bodies into the car, and taking this opportunity, Cai Wenyue climbed over the railing of the bridge and jumped into the river with a leap.

"Damn," Delong and Dolph originally thought that this person would be captured after cornering Cai Wenyue, but who knew that he chose to jump into the river.

This is the river in the cold winter, and the river is quite deep, Delong and Daofu threw themselves on the railing by the bridge and looked down, where could they still see Cai Wenyue's shadow in the river.

Angry and swept the river with his gun, Delong saw that the gunfire attracted the corpses on the other side, so he had to pull Michio and leave.

After jumping into the icy water, Cai Wenyue let go of the gun in his hand and let him sink to the bottom of the river. The chill around him began to envelop him the moment his body sank into the water, and invaded his body little by little.

Liu Jiajun asked Meng Jie to give him the positioning watch to be put on his wrist, the winter coat on his body became a little heavy because of the inhalation of river water, coupled with the near-zero cold, Cai Wenyue felt that he was wrapped in a pile of cement, and his body was slowly sinking.

He can swim, and he is constantly trying to use his skills to surface himself, but he seems to have a burden of more than ten catties on his body, and he can't float no matter how he uses his hands and feet.

Cai Wenyue held his breath, quickly untied the clothes on his body and took them off, and then kicked off his leather boots with his feet. The physical sensation was finally a little lighter, but the chill was even more chilling.

He didn't know that his lips were a little purple at the moment, but he felt that his hands and feet were not as flexible as before. The effects of the low temperature also caused Cai Wenyue's heartbeat to slow down, and he finally surfaced, so he quickly took a breath.

Delong and Daofu were no longer visible on the shore, Cai Wenyue was unknowingly washed out of the river by some distance in the process of struggling in the water just now, he wanted to swim towards the shore, but the cold hands and feet began to become clumsy. As his body temperature wore on, his breathing began to slow down, and his gaze toward the shore began to blur.

In the haze, Cai Wenyue seemed to hear the familiar voice of a little girl, which was the voice of his daughter Cai Ji who was far away in Huaguo.

"Daddy, Daddy, wake up, don't fall asleep."

"Dad, when are you coming back to see me?"

"I miss you, and I miss my mother."

Cai Wenyue stretched out his hand towards the illusion of the voice, he could only feel the voice in his consciousness, but his eyes couldn't see anything.

At this moment, Cai Wenyue's heart suddenly emerged with a strong desire to survive, his daughter has always been his deepest attachment to Huaguo, in the past few years, because of the relationship between identity and task, their father and daughter have gathered less and left more. And in order to better disguise his identity, Cai Wenyue even ended the relationship with his wife Quan Ying on the bright side.

This does not mean that he has no relationship with his wife, just like he can't always grow up with his daughter, these are the sacrifices he made for his work and the country, in fact, in Cai Wenyue's heart, his concern for his wife and daughter has increased with the passage of time.

"I miss you," Cai Wenyue muttered into the dark void.

I don't know how long it took, the chill that wrapped the body gradually faded, and the body began to feel a little warmer, Cai Wenyue's ears suddenly moved, and he heard that there seemed to be two people arguing beside him.

"Liu, you shouldn't use the firewood we found so hard to warm him, he is dead, you can't save him."

"How do you know if you can't be saved if you don't try?"

"But you're using everyone's supplies for the winter, and if he doesn't have this Oriental face like you, are you sure you'll be willing to save him?"

"Shut up, Senna, if we had saved someone by just the color of his face, you would have been dead."

"You might be able to wake him up, but with one more person, our food will become more and more scarce, and it's getting harder and harder to find outside this season, and it's ......."

"Senna, think with your head, if we don't save people, who will save us in the future?"

"Shao Yu, he's awake," Ye Changqing saw Cai Wenyue's eyelashes move, and his eyes slowly opened, "Get him some hot water to warm up." ”

Liu Shaoyu hurriedly poured out some hot water from the iron basin on the fire, and then mixed some cold water into it, so that the water temperature could not only warm his body, but also not burn his mouth.

"Drink something," Liu Shaoyu and Ye Changqing helped Cai Wenyue up and leaned against the stone steps next to him, while Senna sat on the other side of the fire, casting a lack of kindness at the frail man from time to time.

"Thank you," Cai Wenyue took the cup, he supported the ground with his other hand, and moved his body towards the fire again, "Where am I?" ”

"We found you by the river," Ye Changqing said, "You're lucky, we almost thought you wouldn't be able to do it before." ”

Cai Wenyue smiled, his expression was very weak, his face was not only very pale, but the clothes on his body were stuck to his skin. It was a terrible feeling, and if it weren't for the campfire next to him and a glass of warm water in his hand, he would have thought he was in another world.

"This is near Houston's Chinatown," Mr. Liu said, "and you sit here and wait for me, and I'll go get you a set of dry clothes to change into." ”

Cai Wenyue nodded, his mind gradually regained consciousness, and he recalled in his mind the map of Houston that he had seen in the base before, and roughly judged the direction of his location and the distance from the base.

This is already far away from the base, and of course it is far from the port, after figuring out the situation, Cai Wenyue had to calm down and let his body recover as soon as possible.

"Let's wrap up and keep warm first," Liu Shaoyu handed Cai Wenyue a set of clothes he found, and suddenly saw him coughing, so he stretched out his hand and touched his forehead.

"You seem to have a cold, and you have a fever on your forehead," Liu Shaoyu's brows furrowed, and he looked at Ye Changqing, a little embarrassed, "We don't have any fever reducers in our hands." ”

"Let's try to cool down with physical therapy first," Ye Changqing said after thinking about it.

Cai Wenyue changed his clothes, his body was suddenly much more comfortable, he took the previous clothes and roasted them by the fire, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

This is a room with a heavy smell of fireworks, there is nothing useful in the room except for discarded debris, wooden objects are piled up in the bonfire to ensure that the fire can continue to burn, and opposite the bonfire is a somewhat depressed face.

Cai Wenyue looked at Senna and saw that the black guy seemed to be very emotional about himself, he just smiled at Senna and didn't mind the guy's expression.

"What are you wearing?" Seeing Cai Wenyue looking at him, Senna originally planned to turn his head, but his gaze suddenly swept to the thing he was wearing on his wrist.

"Watches?" Senna asked.

"Watch," Cai Wenyue nodded, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to look at the watch that Meng Jiesai gave him.

"What's the use of this thing now, you see you're almost dead, but you still have it with you, and you can't eat it and you can't use it?" Senna said with some disdain, he actually asked Cai Wenyue about the watch in his hand just now, and he was going to take advantage of this to ridicule a few words.

"I don't know what it's for," Cai Wenyue spread his hands, not planning to continue to say anything to Senado on the subject.

Ye Changqing handed a piece of cloth wet by the river to Cai Wenyue, "Press it on your forehead, you should feel a little more comfortable." ”

"Thank you," Cai Wenyue thanked again, and was very grateful to these two Chinese guys who saved him.

"My name is Liu Shaoyu, this is Ye Changqing and Senna, Changqing and I are international students at the University of Houston, and we worked and studied here in Chinatown before the disaster." Liu Shaoyu introduced to Cai Wenyue, "If you don't mind, can you tell me about your situation?" ”

Hearing that two of the other party were Chinese, Cai Wenyue suddenly felt a little more cordial. "My name is Cai Wenyue, and I am from the Houston Institute, but now I can't go back."

"Why?" The other three people around the campfire were all shocked, they didn't expect that the person they had saved earlier would be someone from the institute.

"A few days ago, we were rescued by a team from your research institute outside, and now we have saved you again, this is really a kind of fate," Liu Shaoyu said and asked, "Why can't you go back to the research institute, it's much safer to be inside than to stay outside." It's a pity they didn't take in civilians, otherwise we would have been able to follow that team back to the institute that day. ”

"They really don't take in civilians," Cai Wenyue nodded, diverting the subject, "I'm going to the port of Houston, if you can help me, I can take you back to China." ”

"Really?!" Liu Shaoyu and Ye Changqing stood up suddenly, and asked with a look of surprise, "Can you really take us back to Huaguo?" ”

"Well," Cai Wenyue's gaze was very sincere and firm, "the delegation of Huaguo attended the academic exchange conference at the Houston Research Institute, and the warship on which the delegation was traveling was anchored in the port of Houston. As long as we can get there, we will definitely be able to get on the boat and return to our homeland. ”

"What if they don't take in civilians either? These governments are all the same, and no one wants to care about the lives and deaths of civilians," Senna had no interest in going to a foreign country, so he complained about Cai Wenyue's words.

"They are different, China will never give up on its people," Cai Wenyue corrected him, "I use my personality to vouch, as long as everyone can reach the port of Houston, there will definitely be a place for us on that warship from the motherland." ”
