Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2756: It can be considered a friendship of life and death

"Oh..." He knew that any blunt rejection at this moment might cause great harm to this sensitive girl.

Therefore, he could only choose to remain silent, hold Zheng Nannan's hand tightly, and continue to move forward.

The two came to a corner of the ancient city, which was less noisy and more peaceful.

The old walls were covered with unknown vines, and a few unknown small flowers bloomed in the corners, swaying gently in the breeze.

Zheng Nannan let go of Ye Yuze's hand, walked to the wall, and gently stroked the rough surface:

"Uncle, everything here is so beautiful, just like how I hope our relationship will be, simple and pure."

She turned her head and looked at Ye Yuze, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Yuze walked forward and stood beside her: "This place is beautiful, just like you, full of life and energy. But sometimes, things that are too beautiful may be shattered by some unrealistic expectations."

His words were full of cryptic hints, and he hoped Zheng Nannan could understand what he meant.

Zheng Nannan seemed to understand, but she suddenly moved closer to Ye Yuze, stood on tiptoes, and gently kissed him on the cheek.

Ye Yuze's body froze, his face full of surprise and bewilderment. Zheng Nannan blushed and whispered:

"Uncle, this is what I want. No matter what you think, I won't regret it."

After saying that, she turned and ran away, leaving Ye Yuze standing there alone, looking at her back with mixed feelings in his heart.

After a while, Ye Yuze caught up with Zheng Nannan, and the two of them walked side by side again, but there was an unspeakable emotion in each of their hearts.

They came to a street cafe and ordered two cups of fragrant coffee.

Zheng Nannan held a coffee cup, the hot steam was lingering on her face, making her eyes look a little hazy:

"Uncle, can't you just try to accept me? I will be very good and obedient."

There was a hint of pleading in her tone, which made Ye Yuze feel distressed.

Ye Yuze put down his coffee cup and looked at Zheng Nannan seriously:

"Nannan, I am sincere in my love for you, but it is different from the kind of love you expect. I hope you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you, and that person will be the same age as you, and will experience the joys and sorrows of youth with you."

Zheng Nannan's tears welled up in her eyes: "But I just want you. I don't want anyone else except you."

Her voice was filled with tears, which made Ye Yuze's heart ache.

He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from Zheng Nannan's eyes:

"Silly child, don't be like this. I will feel bad if you do this. Give each other some time, okay?"

Zheng Nannan nodded with sobs. She knew that she couldn't push too hard at this moment, otherwise it might backfire.

When I came out of the cafe, night had already fallen quietly, and the city of Kashgar had taken on a different and brilliant look.

The streets were brightly lit and bustling. Ye Yuze and Zheng Nannan continued to stroll in the city, occasionally chatting about some irrelevant topics, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

They passed by a shop selling special musical instruments. Ye Yuze stopped, walked into the shop, and picked out a small dutar.

He plucked the strings gently, producing a pleasant sound: "Nannan, this is for you. When you miss me in the future, just play it."

Zheng Nannan took the dutar, his eyes full of emotion: "Uncle, thank you, I will keep it well."

On this exotic night, the two of them got along in this entangled and "loving" way, with every look and every movement hiding complex emotions.

They watched street performers' performances together and tasted local delicacies together. Although the conflicts in their hearts were not resolved, this moment of companionship was invaluable to them.

It was not until late at night that the two returned to the hotel. Standing at the door of their respective rooms, Zheng Nannan looked at Ye Yuze with reluctance in her eyes:

"Good night, uncle."

Ye Yuze responded with a smile: "Good night, Nannan, have a sweet dream."

Watching Zheng Nannan walk into the room, Ye Yuze sighed softly. He knew that this day was just the beginning of their emotional entanglement and there was still a long way to go in the future.

And he must carefully guard this fragile and precious relationship and not let it get hurt in the slightest. At the same time, he also hopes that Zheng Nannan can find her true direction as soon as possible.

During these days in Kashgar, the relationship between Zheng Nannan and Ye Yuze grew deeper, but was also entangled in complex reality.

Ye Yuze held on to his bottom line, and Zheng Nannan didn't cling to him. In the end, they decided to leave Kashgar. As for where to go? They hadn't decided yet, so they would talk about it on the way.

After leaving Kashgar, they drove on the road leading to the distance. The scenery outside the window kept changing, just like the moods of the two people.

When the car drove onto a section of road, the Gobi Desert in the distance unfolded like a majestic painting. The rugged and vast scene deeply attracted them.

Zheng Nannan pointed out the window excitedly: "Uncle, look at the Gobi Desert, it's so spectacular, let's go and have a look!"

Ye Yuze was a little hesitant at first, but seeing the light flashing in Zheng Nannan's eyes, he finally nodded, turned the steering wheel, and the car drove off the road and headed towards the Gobi Desert.

The car bumped along the rugged Gobi Desert. At first, they cheered for the unique landforms and scenery they had never seen before.

But as we went deeper, the surrounding scenery became monotonous and similar, with rugged rocks, yellow sand everywhere, and strong winds that blew up dust from time to time.

When Ye Yuze realized that something was wrong and wanted to return the same way, he was horrified to find that the wheel tracks had been covered by sand and wind, and they were lost.

Ye Yuze tried to find a signal with his mobile phone, but the screen always showed no service.

The car's fuel gauge pointer kept dropping, and finally, with a series of thumping sounds, the car stopped completely - the oil was gone.

The two sat in the car, looking at the vast desert around them, their hearts filled with despair.

The sun was setting, the night in the Gobi Desert came very quickly, and the temperature dropped sharply. Ye Yuze took out a coat from the back seat of the car and gently put it on Zheng Nannan.

Zheng Nannan shrank in her seat, her lips trembling slightly:

"Uncle, are we unable to get out?"

Ye Yuze reached out and held her hand, trying to convey warmth: "Don't worry, there will be a way."

The nights in the Gobi Desert are very cold, and a car without a heater is like an ice cellar.

Fortunately, Ye Yuze bought some clothes for Zheng Nannan these days. Although they are all summer clothes, they are still useful when they are worn to cover her body.

The next morning, the sunlight shone into the car, but it failed to dispel the haze in their hearts.

The food had been eaten long ago, leaving only half a bottle of water. Ye Yuze looked at Zheng Nannan's cracked lips and handed the water over:

"Nannan, drink this water."

Zheng Nannan looked at him, who was also thirsty, and shook her head: "You drink, uncle, I'm not thirsty."

Ye Yuze pretended to be angry: "Be obedient, I can find some water, drink first and save your energy."

At his insistence, Zheng Nannan took the water half-heartedly and drank it. But she didn't know that this was their last source of water. As time passed, the two of them became weaker and weaker, and could only lean back on their seats.

Zheng Nannan's eyes became empty. She slowly turned her head and looked at Ye Yuze:

"Uncle, I'm so scared. I don't want to die like this."

Ye Yuze hugged her in his arms distressedly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

On the brink of despair, Zheng Nannan felt a complex emotion in his heart.

She looked at Ye Yuze, her eyes full of affection and determination: "Uncle, at this last moment, I want to give myself to you. I don't want to leave any regrets."

When Ye Yuze heard this, his body trembled. He looked at Zheng Nannan with mixed feelings.

He had always regarded Zheng Nannan as someone who needed protection and had never thought of accepting her feelings under such circumstances.

"Nannan, don't be like this, we will be fine." Ye Yuze tried to comfort her.

"No, uncle, I know we may not have a chance, I don't want to wait any longer, I like you, I always have."

Zheng Nannan said firmly with tears in her eyes.

Ye Yuze looked at the brave and affectionate girl in front of him, and his defenses completely collapsed.

He gently held Zheng Nannan's face, looked into her eyes, then slowly lowered his head, and their lips lightly touched each other.

In this small car, time seemed to stand still. They forgot the danger and despair of the outside world and immersed themselves in their love for each other.

Yang Geyong was anxious. He hadn't called Ye Yuze for two days. They had formed a habit of contacting each other every other day.

If you can't get in touch, something must be wrong.

Zheng Qian also started to call her daughter's cell phone non-stop, and was almost going crazy. Yang Geyong kept comforting her, telling her that everything would be fine as long as Yuze was there.

At this time, Ye Yuze and Zheng Nannan were completely exhausted. Their lips were chapped from not drinking water for a day.

Now he faces two choices, one is to wait for death here, or he may be rescued.

The second option is for the two of them to walk out in one direction. Of course, this option is not good because both of them have no energy left after not eating or drinking.

Going out like this would probably mean seeking death!

However, Ye Yuze has never been a person who likes to wait for death. Even if there is a slight possibility, he will fight for it.

Originally, he wanted to leave Zheng Nannan here and come back to rescue her after he found someone, but Zheng Nannan refused to agree and insisted on following him.

They said that they had to be together no matter what, so Ye Yuze had no choice but to take her with him.

On the scorching Gobi Desert, Ye Yuze and Zheng Nannan supported each other, and every step they took seemed extremely difficult.

The sand beneath their feet was so hot that it seemed to suck away their remaining strength.

All around was the monotonous yellow sand and the occasional dry plant, which shivered in the strong wind and made tiny sounds, as if lamenting their situation.

Looking at Zheng Nannan who was almost unconscious, his heart was filled with anxiety and self-blame.

He tried to tear off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes and searched for even the slightest trace of moisture nearby, trying to squeeze out some water to moisten Zheng Nannan's cracked lips.

But the Gobi Desert is too dry and all efforts are in vain.

The wind was howling, and the raised dust kept pouring into their mouths and noses, making breathing difficult.

Zheng Nannan's steps became increasingly weak, and finally, she could no longer hold on and slowly fell into Ye Yuze's arms.

"Nannan, wake up, we can definitely get out!" Ye Yuze shouted at the top of his lungs, but the only response he got was the whistling sound of the wind.

Ye Yuze decisively rolled up his sleeves, bit his wrist hard, watched the bright red blood flow out, and put it close to Zheng Nannan's mouth.

Zheng Nannan, who was in a coma, dreamed of a clear spring. She subconsciously opened her mouth and sucked. The sweet spring water quickly restored her strength.

I opened my eyes and saw an arm, and the bright red blood was particularly eye-catching.

"what……"

Zheng Nannan screamed and pushed Ye Yuze away:

"You are crazy! I would rather die myself than let you die for me!"

Ye Yuze smiled and wanted to pat his chest to prove his strength. He could raise his hands, but he couldn't use any strength.

Zheng Nannan helped him up while crying, and the two of them continued their trek.

Yang Geyong called Ye Yuqi directly, and then mobilized the police force in Kashgar to search for Ye Yuze's whereabouts.

Soon, the hotel where Ye Yuze and his friends were staying was found, and then the video of the car leaving the city was also found, and the approximate direction was finally determined.

At this time, Yang Geyong was sitting in the helicopter anxiously. It was a military helicopter with very good performance.

The helicopter hovered over the Gobi Desert, and the roar of the propeller broke the long silence of the Gobi Desert. The pilot stared at the bottom with full concentration, not missing any suspicious points.

Yang Geyong constantly directed the pilot in the direction of flight and searched carefully with a telescope.

"Look more carefully and fly to the east. The terrain there is relatively low. Maybe they will go looking for water."

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the map displayed on the screen, praying silently in his heart that he could find the two people's traces quickly.

The northern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, accounting for 6% of the country's total land area. Especially in the vast Gobi Desert and desert areas, looking for people here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But at this moment, Yang Geyong had only one thought in his mind, that is, he had to fish for the needle!

Ye Yuji not only mobilized the police force, but also the army. Countless people spread out a large net and began searching in the area where they disappeared.

There were people in the sky, on the ground, and on horseback. There were just so many of them scattered across the Gobi Desert that they were completely inconspicuous.

Zheng Nannan was almost dragging Ye Yuze away. Ye Yuze had already become a spent force. No matter how much he wanted to be strong, he was powerless at this moment.

Zheng Nannan didn't know where she got the strength from, but she supported Ye Yuze and walked forward step by step. She was obviously staggering, but every step was so firm.

She didn't know how far she had walked, let alone how far she had to go.

But her goal was very persistent, that was to keep this man alive, to keep this man alive who shed his own blood to feed her, and who wanted to keep her alive even if he died...

I can’t sweat anymore, and I don’t know what’s this sticky stuff on my body?

Zheng Nannan was imagining, if the water in the body drained away, would it turn into a mummy? Thinking of the shrunken appearance, she shuddered.
