Collapse: Chasing Fire Studio

"...Well, I see." I nodded, and after Sakura left, I glared at Patuo, and then yawned lazily.

Looking at the time, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and I slept for more than three hours... But I was not in a hurry to find Eden. I took out a wet towel and wiped my face, and then adjusted my hair and clothes.

Pay attention to appearance. ………

dong dong dong.

"Enter."

Looking up, Eden looked at the door of the office with some trepidation. He thought he was mentally prepared, but when the captain pushed the door and entered, Eden was still on the spot.

In terms of appearance and figure, the captain can be regarded as Lu Bu among men and Chitu among horses.The facial features are exquisite and unrestrained, deep and unrevealed, and there is a bit of chivalry between good and evil in the eyebrows and eyes, especially a pair of dark eyes, which seem to carry a scene of darkness, and the mystery contained in them has a natural attraction to girls.

But the reason why Eden froze in place... was mainly because of the red slap on the captain's face.

"Captain!? What happened to your face?"

my face. ?I stretched out my palm and touched my cheeks, realizing that I pressed my hand when I was sleeping just now...

"No, it's okay..." I replied in embarrassment, and when I looked up, I found that Eden's golden pupils were full of distress, and besides that... there was also a hint of anger.

"Did Alicia hit you?"

"...No, no." I waved my hand hastily, then rubbed my face awkwardly, trying to make the slap print go away faster.

This... I can't tell you that work and sleep are overwhelmed. . .

Taking a deep breath, Eden frowned, and suddenly remembered what happened last time...

To be honest, Eden was really conflicted in her heart at the moment. She knew that Alicia was definitely not that kind of person, but after all, there was a lesson learned last time, and Sakura's words just now... really made her a little shaken.

To be precise... it's tempting.

There are four great sorrows in love, which are love and not getting it, pain and not forgetting, letting go and not letting go, and losing and not being reconciled.

And it just so happened that, among the four pits, Eden stepped on all of them. ………………

With a deep sigh, Eden suddenly stood up and said to me in a distressed voice.

"Captain, are you free this afternoon, go out for a walk with me?"

I froze for a moment, then nodded.

"……free."……………

Tianmen Mountain is located in the southern suburb of Changkong City, with an altitude of more than 700 meters. It consists of two mountains, one with a gentle slope and the other with a cliff. They face each other across a section of Yujiang River. From a distance, they look symmetrical in shape, like a natural gate, hence the name "Tianmen Mountain". ".

After about an hour's drive from the studio, Eden and I finally arrived at the foot of Tianmen Mountain.Chinese website

Because of the mountain climbing, Eden changed into a light wine red sportswear and paired with a pair of simple sneakers. The whole person lost a bit of unattainable extravagance and a little more vitality close to life, but even though it was relatively loose The clothes, but it is still difficult to hide its plump curves.As for me, I was carrying a briefcase in one hand, but I didn't bring anything in it. Except for the leather bag containing Gracie's test paper, there were only a few pens and two bottles of water, and Alicia Sebastian from before. Get some snacks.

"Why do you suddenly want to climb the mountain?"

I stood at the entrance of the mountain and looked up, frowning involuntarily. Today the mountain road is empty and there are no pedestrians.Looking up again, the originally clear sky has become slightly dark, and the sky in the east is even more gloomy, as if a large cumulonimbus cloud is gathering.Alicia is right...

But Eden was in a good mood. He took a breath of fresh air with an intoxicated face, and then turned around and smiled at me.

"I don't know, I just wanted to come here suddenly." After saying that, she stretched her long legs and walked up the long mountain road.

Standing on the spot and nodding helplessly, I looked at the gloomy sky with worry on my face, and followed quickly.

Tianmen Mountain is also a scenic spot that has only been developed in recent years. It is paved with a layer of stone steps according to the road that the predecessors walked out. Although the mountain is not high, it is still considered beautiful, and it is also a good place for leisure.

The magic of nature is that when you let go of your heart and embrace nature, your mood will also relax unconsciously.Slowly following behind Eden, I stopped and walked along with her, admiring the scenery on the road, turning around from time to time to look down, and having a bit of refreshing fun. In about an hour and a half, we walked halfway up the mountain.

"Let's take a break and drink some water?" I stopped Eden, who was in good spirits, and found a square stone, swept the fallen leaves on it with my sleeve, took out a paper towel, and wiped vigorously on the stone.

With an elegant smile on his face, Eden sat slowly in the vacant seat I just cleared, took a bottle of water and opened it, opened his red lips, took a sip,

"Excuse me, come climb the mountain with me."

"It's my honor to accompany Eden to climb the mountain." I sat beside Eden, but because I was afraid that she would feel dissatisfied, I deliberately kept a distance.

Frowning slightly, Eden noticed my little movement, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he slowly raised his long leg and put it on the knee of the other leg, sitting in a two-legged posture.

She was silent for a while, then suddenly asked me,

"Did you quarrel with Alicia?"

"Uh...no, no." I froze for a moment, then quickly waved my hand, feeling that Eden seemed a little strange today.

Nodding slightly, Eden felt a little lonely,

"Captain, do you hate me?"

"..." I was silent for a while, then sighed.

"I was in a better mood just now, what are you talking about now?"

Eden gritted her teeth resentfully, then suddenly turned her head and looked straight at me.

"Captain, I know that you did what happened to Su. Tell me, why?"

"Don't ask, it's pointless."

I shook my head, "Don't think too much about it, I was the kind of person who used all means to achieve my goals at that time. But don't worry, I know that I owe Su a big favor, and I won't let this favor go. Will definitely pay back."

"No, you must tell me why today." Eden said stubbornly.

"What happened back then? Did the "earth tumor" spread in the Eastern Military Region?"

"Does it matter?"

"Very important." Eden nodded, frowning. "If the spread of the "earth tumor" is just a rumor, then the concert I held in the Eastern Military Region from the Lantern Kingdom would be meaningless at all."

"..." I didn't speak, just continued to remain silent.

"You have to tell me today." Eden gave me a cold look, then stood up directly, and continued walking up the mountain alone.

"..." I glanced at the growing dark clouds in the sky, and silently followed behind Eden.

This woman's mood is like the weather, it can change when it changes.

Chapter 167 Dangerous Situation

In a blink of an eye, twenty minutes later, we climbed another distance, and a three-fork intersection appeared in front of us. There was a stone ladder on the left and a mountain road on the right.

But what I didn't expect was that Eden didn't choose to take the mountain road on the right, but climbed up the stone ladder on the left alone. .

"Eden! Don't make trouble, it's so gloomy that it's going to rain! Let's go back!"

"Don't worry about it! If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself!" Glaring at me coldly, Eden stretched out his small white hand to grab the stone ladder, and walked to the secluded path without hesitation.

"..." I sighed deeply.

Eden is good anywhere, but the thing that bothers me the most is this damn stubbornness.

Once she's settled on something, it's hard to compromise.

There was no other way, so I had no choice but to go up the stone stairs and continue to follow behind her...

The road here is more like a forest path. Although the road is not big, it is not difficult to walk, but there are fewer trees, and there are mostly dirt slopes on both sides.

After walking behind Eden for a while, I looked at the surrounding terrain, and saw some nets made of thick ropes on both sides, and they were placed on the ground in bundles. I don't know what they are for.

Boom! ! !

At this moment, a thunder rang through the sky, and my heart skipped a beat, before I could speak.A burst of heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky without warning, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on me and Eden.

The sudden rainstorm caught me off guard.

"Eden! It's raining!!" I hurriedly wanted to take out my umbrella, but before my words fell, there was another loud bang, accompanied by a lightning bolt.

In the flickering world, Eden seemed to be stupefied by the thunder, and her expression was a little dazed. I didn't have time to hesitate, so I pulled her directly under the umbrella, but she didn't resist, but just let me do it stupidly. With an arm around his shoulders, like a canary whose wings have been wet by the rain.

I was about to turn back and go down the mountain, but at this time the torrential rain was getting bigger and bigger, and the gusts of wind were howling. The small umbrella Alicia prepared for me was originally a light type, but at this time it was like a leaf of duckweed in the waves. It was lucky to be able to cover Eden.

Thinking that there was still nearly two hours of walking back, I hugged Eden tightly, and decided to continue walking down the path to see if there was a place to hide from the rain.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and I couldn't see the road clearly, because the space under the umbrella was used to protect Eden from the rain, and the bean-sized raindrops hit my head straight, and I couldn't open my eyes for a while. , but I dare not slow down, I can only pray that there will be no roadblocks like deep pits here.

"Boom~"

There was another thunderclap resounding through the sky, and the bright lightning pierced the night sky like chaotic meteors, illuminating the sky and the earth as bright as day, and in a small open space not far ahead, a small wooden house clearly appeared in my sight among.

There is always a way out! !This discovery made me feel ecstatic, and I quickened my pace.

"Eden! Hold on!!"

However, just when I saw hope, a "boom" sound different from thunder rang in my ears...

I was startled in my heart, and when I turned my head to look, I was almost scared out of my wits. I saw that the soil slopes on both sides were like yellow floods, falling towards the middle of the path...

Landslide? !

Those nets! ?

Almost instantly, I realized the role of those nets. There is a lot of rain in spring and autumn, and the unreinforced soil slope is indeed prone to collapse.

My eyes entered the deep abyss, I hugged Eden and ran with all my strength, but the khaki-yellow landslide behind me leaked faster and faster, almost chasing my footsteps, like a huge mouth of the abyss, it seemed that as long as I slowed down a little, it would swallow us into the mouth.

At this moment, I finally understand how small and fragile human beings are before natural disasters...

At this moment, several ear-piercing whistling sounds sounded on the right side, and I looked up coldly, only to see eight or nine irregular black shadows rolling down from the mountain, about to hit me and Eden ...

Chapter 168

At this moment, several ear-piercing whistling sounds sounded on the right side, and I looked up coldly, only to see eight or nine irregular black shadows rolling down from the mountain, about to hit me and Eden ...

My brain is running fast, and I am confident that I can avoid these cumbersome black stones with my own skills. Even if I miss a few pieces, I can smash them open by throwing the stele...

But I also know very well that if I do that, these stones will inevitably fall on Eden!

Without hesitation, I threw away the umbrella, hugged Eden's arm and pulled it hard. At the same time, my shoulders were tilted to the left with all my strength, trying to protect Eden under my body as much as possible, and at the same time tightened the muscles in my back...

Bang bang bang! ! ! !

Several head-sized stones fell heavily on my shoulders and back, tearing pain went straight to my brain, and my body couldn't help but staggered, almost falling down.

Eden couldn't see what was going on around her at all, but she could feel the captain's protective action. Apart from worrying and feeling guilty, she also knew that the only thing she could do was to hug the captain as tightly as possible, so as not to burden him any more.

With the white light from the lightning, Eden could barely see the object that made the sound. It was some cylindrical stones that were constantly rolling down the hillside...

But just when she was terrified, the captain's arms tightened again, tightening her waist, causing her body to spin, followed by another muffled "bang".
