I don’t know how long it took, maybe one minute, maybe ten minutes, or even longer.
Sunuo huddled in Gu Chenglan's arms and almost fainted.
Not only because of the harsh environment, dangers, and physical fatigue, but more importantly because of the psychological unbearability.
If there was still a glimmer of hope when facing the indigenous savages in Africa, now the only hope left is to pray to the sky.
"Nuo? Sunuo?" Gu Chenglan gently shook Sunuo's shoulders: "How are you? We are fine."
"I'm so sleepy." Sunuo didn't sleep for almost the whole night, and now he couldn't support it at all.
"Gu Chenglan, take my sister back." Su Yang ran over and looked at Suno who collapsed in Gu Chenglan's arms, feeling extremely distressed.
Gu Chenglan hesitated for a moment and then carried Suno on his back.
Su Yang touched Su Nuo's cold cheek, looked in the direction of the mountain village, and sighed heavily.
His sister is his responsibility. He brought Suno here and he must bring her back safely.
Gu Feifan was leading the way, Su Yang was walking at the end, and Gu Chenglan was in the middle with Su Nuo on his back, walking back as quickly as possible.
But after walking for less than an hour, Gu Feifan stopped and turned around and asked Su Yang, "Is there another way?"
"What?" Su Yang didn't hear clearly.
But Gu Chenglan's heart skipped a beat.
He walked around Gu Feifan and took a few steps forward, when he saw a tree in front of him had fallen, blocking the path.
But that's not the worst part. What's worse is that the tree was not broken and then dumped on the road, but the earth and rock layers were damaged by the mountain earthquake.
The roots of the big trees were exposed, leaving deep or shallow pits on the ground.
They may be able to walk through the fallen trees, but no one can guarantee whether the soil below is still safe and solid.
If one area collapses, they may be between life and death, irreversible.
"Let's go around and try." Gu Chenglan said, "You can't pass through here."
There was an unforeseen danger in front of him, and he couldn't risk taking Suno there.
But this detour lasted nearly two hours. Although we were already far away from the path, there were still large uprooted and fallen trees appearing all around.
It seems that the soil and stone layers in this area have been completely destroyed.
Gu Chenglan said: "This situation proves that mountain earthquakes will destroy the soil and rock layers. If we stay in the mountains, we may be hit by an overturned tree at any time during the next mountain earthquake, or fall into the broken soil and rock layers."
"What should we do? We can't get around it." Su Yang was also very anxious.
Gu Chenglan pushed Suno up from behind and said, "We can only find a relatively flat place to rest temporarily and wait for the situation to improve."
At this time, Sunuo, who had been in a semi-coma state, woke up.
"Put me down." Suno's voice was a little hoarse.
Gu Chenglan glanced back and saw Sunuo pushing up his goggles, revealing a pale face, but his eyes were already full of energy.
"Xiao Nuo, are you still faint?" Su Yang also came over quickly, touched Su Nuo's forehead, and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Nuo, my brother is too impulsive and makes you worry and get hurt."
"Brother, I'm fine, don't talk about this." Su Nuo asked Gu Chenglan to put her down, stretched her sore feet, and said, "Let's turn around and go to the village. Now it seems that the way back may not be safe."
Since I can't go back, I might as well go to the village now, otherwise my brother will not feel at ease.
