Chapter 924 Strange Valley

Zhang Yue, undeterred, stood tall and coldly responded:

"Oba Yang, you think you can turn the tide by capturing me? You're nothing but a despicable scoundrel who uses such underhanded tactics."

Obama's face darkened, and he said fiercely, "Still being stubborn even when you're about to die!"

Zhang Yue, you've ruined my plans time and time again. Today I'll make you pay the price.

However, if you're willing to hand over the jamming technology you possess and obediently help me repair Starlink, I might consider letting you go.

Zhang Yue threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"
Even if I hand it over, you won't let me go, nor will you let Mr. Li and his group go.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Obama's eyes: "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

"Guards, teach him a lesson!"

Several thugs immediately surrounded them, about to make a move.

Suddenly, a commotion of footsteps and shouts came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Li led a group of people in, armed with weapons, and confronted Obama's men.

Mr. Li shouted, "Oba Yang, you won't get away with hurting Zhang Yue! Today is your last day!"

Obama was caught off guard by Mr. Li's sudden appearance, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
"Hey Li, do you think you can save him?"

I outnumber you, none of you will leave here alive today!

Mr. Li's eyes sharpened, and he brandished his long sword, shouting, "Brothers, charge!"

Let's show this Obama sheep we're not to be trifled with!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two sides clashed in a fierce battle, their swords flashing and shouts of battle deafening.

Enraged, Obama grabbed a large axe and charged at Mr. Li, cursing all the while.
"You surnamed Li, today is your death day!"

Mr. Li was not afraid at all. He dodged the axe by stepping to the side and kicked Obama in the belly.

Obama stumbled a few steps in pain, but quickly regained his balance and pounced again.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the battle, Zhang Yue quickly scanned his surroundings.

He first untied himself, then saw Zhan Susu hiding in the corner, and went over to help her untie the ropes binding her:
"Come with me now!"

Zhan Susu nodded and immediately followed behind Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue grabbed her hand and, taking advantage of the chaos, crouched down and ran outside.

The two ran wildly, with the sounds of fierce fighting and shouts behind them.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding environment became unfamiliar. The trees were lush and green, blocking out the sun, and the road underfoot became rugged and difficult to walk on.

"Zhang Yue, we seem to be lost," Zhan Susu said breathlessly. "What should we do?"

Zhang Yue patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't panic, let's find a place to rest first, and then think of a way to get out."

Just then, Zhang Yue saw a small valley ahead, its entrance hidden by dense vines, exuding a mysterious aura.

Zhang Yue pointed to the valley and said, "Let's go rest in the valley; it should be more secluded there."

Zhan Susu hesitated for a moment, then said worriedly, "This valley looks strangely eerie. Could there be any danger?"

Zhang Yue said helplessly, "There's no other way now, we can only be careful."

The two carefully parted the vines and entered the valley.

As soon as I entered, I felt a damp smell hit me, and the surrounding air became somewhat murky.

Zhang Yue frowned and said, "The air in this valley seems a bit off. Let's cover our mouths and noses."

As soon as the two did this, they heard a buzzing sound coming from the depths of the valley, like a large swarm of insects flapping their wings.

Zhan Susu's expression changed drastically in an instant.

She gripped Zhang Yue's arm nervously, her voice trembling: "What is that sound? Could it be one of those man-eating poisonous bees?"

Zhang Yue frowned, listened intently for a moment, and then softly comforted her:
"Don't scare yourself. Let's move forward slowly and see how things go."

As he spoke, he picked up a thick tree branch from the ground and held it in his hand as a weapon for self-defense.

As they ventured deeper into the valley, the buzzing sound grew louder and louder, as if it were echoing right next to their ears.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared not far ahead, moving rapidly toward them.

Zhang Yue looked closely and realized he was in trouble. That wasn't a cloud at all; it was a swarm of poisonous bees!

These poisonous bees are enormous, about the size of an adult's thumb, and their fur shimmers with an eerie blue light, making it clear that they are extremely venomous.

Zhan Susu screamed in fright, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Yue reacted quickly, pulling her behind him and shouting, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of poisonous bees had already flown in front of them, surrounding them like a black whirlwind.

Zhang Yue waved the branch in his hand, forcefully driving away the poisonous bees.

The rustling of the branches and the buzzing of the bees mingled together, creating a terrifying symphony.

However, there were simply too many poisonous bees, and no matter how much Zhang Yue waved the branches, he couldn't drive them all away.

Several poisonous bees seized the opportunity to break through Zhang Yue's defenses and pounced on Zhan Susu.

Zhan Susu closed her eyes in terror and let out a desperate scream.

At this critical moment, Zhang Yue rushed forward and used his body to shield Zhan Susu.

At the same time, he swung the branch in his hand and knocked the poisonous bees to the ground.

However, even more poisonous bees kept swarming up.

Zhang Yue felt a stinging pain in his arm and face, clearly from being stung by a poisonous bee.

He knew that this couldn't go on, and he had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.

Zhang Yue looked around and found a small cave not far away. The entrance was covered by weeds and branches, making it difficult to spot without careful observation.

He was overjoyed and shouted, "Su Su, come with me quickly, there's a cave over there!"

With that, he grabbed Zhan Susu's hand and ran wildly toward the cave.

The swarm of bees pursued relentlessly, buzzing angrily.

Zhang Yue and Zhan Susu ran desperately, finally rushing into the cave before the swarm of poisonous bees could catch up with them.

As soon as they entered, they quickly blocked the entrance with some large stones, leaving only a small gap to observe the situation outside.

Through the crack, they saw the swarm of poisonous bees hover around the entrance of the cave for a while, and then gradually disperse when they realized they couldn't get in.

Zhang Yue and Zhan Susu finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.

After a while, Zhan Susu sat up from the ground, looked at the wounds on Zhang Yue's face and arms, and said with heartache:

"Does it hurt? It's all my fault. If you hadn't been trying to save me, you wouldn't have been stung by the poisonous bees."

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "What are you talking about? If I don't save you, who else would I save?"

This is just a minor injury; it'll be fine after a rest."

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his body, poured out some medicine powder, and applied it to the wound.

This powder is something he always carries with him; it has analgesic and detoxifying effects.

Watching Zhang Yue skillfully treat the wound, Zhan Susu was filled with admiration and emotion.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped away the remaining powder residue around Zhang Yue's wound.

She then said softly, "Once we get out of here safely, I will definitely study some medical skills so that I can take better care of you in the future."

Seeing her earnest expression, Zhang Yue felt a warmth in his heart and jokingly said:
"What, are you planning to become my personal doctor from now on?"

Zhan Susu's cheeks flushed slightly as she playfully scolded, "You're injured like this and you still have the mind to joke around."

Honestly, we were really lucky to escape this time. I wonder how things are going with Mr. Li and the others.

Zhang Yue's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "Obayang has a large and powerful force. Although Mr. Li and his men are brave, they are certainly facing considerable danger."

We need to find a way out as soon as possible and go back to help them.

Zhan Susu nodded, stood up, and looked around the cave, hoping to find some useful clues or a way out.

Suddenly, she noticed some strange symbols and patterns on the cave walls, as if someone had deliberately carved them there.

"Zhang Yue, look! What's this?" Zhan Susu asked hurriedly.

Despite the pain from his wound, Zhang Yue walked over to Zhan Susu and carefully examined the symbols and patterns on the wall.

His brow furrowed slightly as he said, “These symbols and patterns look somewhat ancient, like some kind of special mark or code.”

Perhaps it's related to the way out or some kind of treasure.

Zhan Susu's eyes lit up: "Treasure? Does that mean we're rich?"
But finding a way out is the priority. Let's study these symbols and see if we can find any clues.

The two began to seriously study the symbols and patterns on the wall.

After much thought and experimentation, Zhang Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:

"I understand now. These symbols are arranged in a certain order and point to one direction of the cave."

"Let's follow this direction; maybe we'll find the exit."

Zhan Susu clapped her hands happily: "Great, let's go quickly then."

They cautiously walked in the direction indicated by the symbol. The cave was dark and damp, and they could hear the sound of water dripping from time to time.

The further they went, the dimmer the light became. Zhang Yue took out a simple torch from his person, lit it, and the faint flame illuminated the path ahead.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Zhan Susu gripped Zhang Yue's arm tightly, her voice trembling as she said:
"What is that sound? Could it be some kind of terrifying monster?"

Zhang Yue gripped the branch in his hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. No matter what it is, I will protect you."

Let's see how things go further ahead.

They moved forward cautiously, and as they got closer, the roars became clearer.

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, raised the torch higher, and said to Zhan Susu:
"Follow behind me, and we'll slowly approach each other."

Zhan Susu nodded.

The two moved forward step by step, each step cautious.

As they approached the source of the sound, the roar grew increasingly deafening, as if it would shake the entire cave to its core.

Zhan Susu's face turned deathly pale, her fingers digging tightly into Zhang Yue's arm, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Maybe we shouldn't go. What if it really is some kind of monster..."

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth and said firmly, "We've come all this way, we can't give up halfway."

Besides, we have no other way to go right now; maybe we really can find an exit there.

Finally, they arrived at the place where the sound came from.

By the light of the torches, they discovered that they were in a narrow passage.

A fierce wind was howling through the passage, forming a powerful vortex of air at the entrance, emitting a chilling roar.

Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhan Susu with a smile, "It was just a false alarm."

Zhan Susu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Oh dear, that scared me to death."

"So what do we do now? Keep going?" Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Since we're already here, let's just follow this passage forward."

The two carefully entered the narrow passage.

The passageway was dimly lit, the walls were damp, and water droplets occasionally fell and hit them.

Suddenly, Zhan Susu slipped and fell forward.

Zhang Yue reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.

"Be careful, this passage is too slippery," Zhang Yue warned.

Zhan Susu nodded with lingering fear and followed closely behind Zhang Yue.

They continued walking forward, when suddenly a huge boulder appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

"What do we do?" Zhan Susu said anxiously. "We can't get around this."

Zhang Yue frowned, carefully observing the rocks and the surrounding environment.

He noticed a small crack next to the stone.

"Susu, look over there, we can squeeze through from there," Zhang Yue said, pointing to the gap.

Looking at the narrow gap, Zhan Susu hesitated: "Is it possible to get through? And what if I get stuck?"

Zhang Yue encouraged him, "Don't be afraid, I'm in front, just stay close to me."

"Let's be careful, we should be fine."

As he spoke, Zhang Yue turned sideways and slowly squeezed into the gap.

His body was pressed tightly against the stone wall, and every movement was extremely difficult.

Zhan Susu also mustered her courage and followed behind Zhang Yue.

Just as they were about to pass through the gap, suddenly, a small stone rolled down from above and hit Zhang Yue on the head.

Zhang Yue groaned and almost fell over.

"Zhang Yue, are you alright?" Zhan Susu asked in a panic.

Zhang Yue shook his head, enduring the pain, and said, "I'm fine, keep going."

The two finally squeezed through the gap and continued forward.

Not far along, they heard the sound of rushing water again.

"Where is this sound coming from?" Zhan Susu asked curiously.

Zhang Yue said cautiously, "I don't know, let's go check."

They followed the sound and found an underground river ahead.

The river was swift and the sound of the rushing water was deafening.

"How are we going to get there?" Zhan Susu frowned again.

Zhang Yue looked around, searching for a way to cross the river.

Suddenly, he noticed a thick tree branch on the opposite bank of the river, spanning across the water.

"Susu, there's a tree branch over there. Let's climb over it," Zhang Yue said, pointing to the branch.

Looking at the swaying branch, Zhan Susu said worriedly, "Won't this branch break?"

Zhang Yue comforted him, "There's no other way, this is the only option right now, let's go!"

As he spoke, he carefully climbed up the tree branch.

He walked carefully, as if afraid the branches wouldn't be able to support his weight.

Finally, Zhang Yue successfully climbed to the other side of the river.

"Susu, come here, I'll catch you," he shouted.

Zhan Susu took a deep breath and mustered her courage to climb up the tree branch.

Her body trembled as she slowly approached Zhang Yue.

However, just as she was about to reach the other side, suddenly, the tree branch made a "creak" sound and began to shake violently.

"Ah!" Zhan Susu screamed in terror.

Zhang Yue quickly reached out and grabbed Zhan Susu's arm, pulling her to the other side.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Zhang Yue comforted her.

Zhan Susu threw herself into Zhang Yue's arms, crying, "I was so scared! I thought I was going to fall into the river."

Zhang Yue gently patted her back and said, "It's alright, it's nothing now. Let's continue looking for the exit."

The two continued walking forward, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared ahead.

"Zhang Yue, look! There's light over there!" Zhan Susu shouted excitedly.

Zhang Yue also saw the glimmer of light and was overjoyed: "That might be the exit. Let's hurry."

They quickened their pace and ran towards the light.

Finally, the two saw the bright sunshine and lush trees outside.

"We're out!" Zhan Susu cheered happily.

Zhang Yue also smiled with relief and said, "Yes, we're finally out."

"We need to hurry back and see how Mr. Li and the others are doing."

The two exchanged a smile and quickly moved forward.

As they walked, Zhang Yue and Zhan Susu realized something was wrong.

What they thought was the exit turned out to be just a valley surrounded by mountains.

All around are steep mountain walls, as if they were cleaved open by nature with a giant axe and then trapped by towering peaks.

"How could this happen..." Zhan Susu's newly ignited hope was instantly shattered, her eyes filled with despair.

Zhang Yue clenched his fists, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

He suppressed his anxiety and comforted her, "Don't panic, let's look again, maybe there are other ways out."

The two searched carefully along the edge of the valley, not missing any possible crevice or passage.

However, apart from the smooth stone walls and the occasional small stones rolling down the mountain, they found nothing.

"It seems there's no way out of here." Zhan Susu slumped to the ground, staring blankly ahead.

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back to the cave and see if we can find another exit."

The two dragged their weary bodies back along the same route.

When they stood in front of the cave again, they discovered that it was far more complex than they had imagined.

It's a maze with interconnected passageways.

Every passage looked exactly the same, making it impossible to tell which one was the way they came from.

"What...what should I do?"

Zhan Susu's voice trembled as she gripped Zhang Yue's arm tightly, as if that would give her a sense of security.

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said:
"Don't rush, let's choose one of the passages first, maybe we can find a way out."

They randomly chose a path and carefully walked forward.

The passageway was dark and damp, filled with a pungent odor, and strange noises could be heard from afar from time to time, making their hearts jump into their throats.

"Zhang Yue, I'm a little scared." Zhan Susu clung tightly to Zhang Yue, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

Zhang Yue patted her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's walk slowly, we'll definitely find the way out."

However, after walking for a long time, they not only failed to find an exit, but also found themselves back in the same place.

"No, this is not the way to go."

Zhang Yue frowned and paced back and forth in place:

"We need to find a way to mark the path we've taken, otherwise we'll keep going in circles here."

So they used the small knives they carried to carve simple symbols on the walls of the passageway.

Then, they chose a new path and continued searching for an exit.

However, fate seemed to be playing tricks on them.

No matter which way they go, they will eventually return to the starting point.

The repeated hopes and disappointments plunged them into despair.

"Zhang Yue, are we going to never get out of here?"

Zhan Susu's body trembled slightly, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

Seeing her despair, Zhang Yue suddenly reached out and pulled Zhan Susu into a tight embrace:
"No, we'll definitely get out of here. Just hang in there a little longer, maybe the exit is just around the next corner."

However, as time went on, their physical strength gradually depleted, and their food and water became increasingly scarce.

Zhang Yue felt an unprecedented despair. He slumped to the ground, staring blankly ahead, as if he had lost all his strength.

"Are we really going to die here?" Zhang Yue muttered to himself.

Just then, Zhan Susu suddenly jumped up excitedly, as if she had discovered a new continent:
"Zhang Yue, look! What's this?"

Zhang Yue slowly raised his head and looked in the direction Zhan Susu was pointing. He saw some peculiar stones in the corner of the valley.

These stones shimmered with iridescent light, as if they had been given life, and stood out brightly in the dim valley.

Zhang Yue stood up curiously, walked to the stone, and examined it carefully.

Zhan Susu followed, squatted down, gently touched the stone, and said:

"I don't know either, but they look amazing. Maybe these stones can help us find our way out."

However, Zhang Yue shook his head: "No, I feel like I've seen this kind of stone somewhere before."

and many more! "

He suddenly remembered something, took out his phone from his pocket, and found a photo.

Zhan Susu's eyes widened immediately: "This...how is this possible?"

It turns out the photo on the phone was actually of the meteorite that fell a couple of days ago.

In other words, this colorful stone was actually the meteorite the two were looking for.

But the next moment, Zhan Susu realized something was wrong.

There is only one meteorite falling from the sky, but there are many colorful stones in front of us.

Moreover, they vary in size and shape, which is quite strange.

She looked at Zhang Yue: "What exactly happened?"

Zhang Yue thought for a moment, then took off his shoes.

Zhan Susu was taken aback, her nose wrinkling instinctively: "What are you doing?" (End of Chapter)
