Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

137: Hey, what a coincidence! What a small world!After Gu Xiheng left, Cheng Siyu opened her eyes, filled with regret. It was just one crucial step away, but thinking about his burning lips brushing over every part of her body, infinite sweetness surged in her heart.

Looking at the countless bruises and marks all over her body, she tightly hugged the quilt, burying her head deep within it, making a muffled sound, ”Xiheng, you can’t run away this time, hehe... Sooner or later, we will become one.”

From then on, Cheng Siyu naturally began to regard herself as the young madam of the Gu Family.

And everyone in the Gu Family did not object, even Gu Xiheng tacitly accepted this matter.

Although Madam Gu orchestrated this matter, Gu Xiheng had intended to resist, but seeing the tearful Cheng Siyu, he couldn’t refuse and could only take responsibility for it.

But deep in his heart, Ai Yue’s face kept surfacing. Even though he was inexperienced in matters of the heart, by now he somewhat understood that the person he truly liked was probably Ai Yue.

But now he was entangled with Cheng Siyu... Everyone stopped the vehicle, and as they stepped onto the ground, the vibration became even more distinct.

At this moment, Ai Yue flashed into the spatial dimension, evading the ever-increasing number of Devil Frogs.

The Devil Frogs lost track of Ai Yue and circled around the spot where she vanished with reluctance.

Finally, unable to find her, the Devil Frogs, who possessed little intelligence, scattered in all directions.

Coincidentally, a group of over a hundred Devil Frogs scattered in the direction where Gu Xiheng and the others were.

”Not good, a wave of Devil Frogs is heading our way,” Yan Li, who had been observing the surroundings with binoculars, suddenly said.

”How many?”

”Over a hundred!”

”Get in the car quickly, let’s go!” Gu Xiheng was the first to jump into the vehicle.

The others boarded the vehicles at maximum speed, and the two military trucks shot out like arrows released from a bow.

Upon hearing the sound of the vehicles, the madness that hadn’t subsided in the Devil Frogs was immediately drawn to the noise, and they increased their speed to chase after Gu Xiheng and the others.

The road was already difficult to traverse, so driving faster couldn’t create enough distance from the Devil Frogs; instead, the gap between them was shrinking.

”Xiheng, this won’t work if it continues. We’ll be caught sooner or later. With this many Devil Frogs, we can’t escape,” Mo Li said with a solemn expression.

Gu Xitian also realized the seriousness of the situation. She fearfully gripped Cheng Siyu’s arm tightly to alleviate the terror in her heart.

Gu Xiheng pondered for a moment, then decisively said, ”Jump out of the car immediately!”

”Ah? Jump out? Can’t we stop the car and get out?” Gu Xitian cried out. She only knew how to become invisible, and her combat skills were third-rate. Jump from such a fast-moving car? She dared not!

”Stop the nonsense, do it now!” Gu Xiheng said sternly, then glanced at his frightened younger sister and said helplessly, ”I’ll hold you when we jump!”

The dozen or so people jumped out of the jolting vehicle instantly.

After rolling several times on the spot, ignoring their injuries, everyone immediately got up and ran towards the mountain beside the road.

By chance, there was a large rock halfway up, and everyone held their breath and quietly hid behind it.

Moments later, a large swarm of Devil Frogs rushed past, chasing the driverless cars.

Seeing the Devil Frogs gradually move away, Gu Xitian immediately started crying out, ”Aiyo, aiyo!”

”Brother, my arm hurts!”

Gu Xiheng quickly checked and found her arm was dislocated. It was rare for this pampered young lady to endure it until now.

Gu Xiheng called over Old Zhang, who had some medical skills in the team, and asked him to reset Gu Xitian’s arm.

Gu Xitian wailed about the pain, but she didn’t pull her hand away. The bone was quickly set, and only then did she have time to check her other injuries.

Her arms and legs were covered in bruises and contusions. Touching them sent a piercing pain through her. Gu Xitian had never suffered such hardship and felt wronged, wanting to cry.

But thinking about the environment they were currently in, she sniffled and held back her tears.

The others weren’t faring much better; they were all covered in bruises too.

”What’s wrong with these Devil Frogs? It’s like someone chopped off their tails; they are all ferocious and relentlessly pursuing us,” Mo Li said, rubbing his waist, speechless.

Those Devil Frogs eventually caught up to their cars and tore the vehicles to pieces; they were clearly beyond repair.

Seeing that the Devil Frogs had disappeared into the distance and wouldn’t return anytime soon, Gu Xiheng quickly urged everyone to leave the area.

Without vehicles, Gu Xiheng and the others could only travel on foot.

The group walked for three hours, taking many twists and turns, gradually approaching the location where Ai Yue had disappeared.

Based on her experience, Ai Yue judged that the surrounding Devil Frogs must have dispersed, so she flashed out of the spatial dimension.

She had washed every part of her body several times. To be safe, Ai Yue threw away all the clothes that had touched Little Green’s aura.

She no longer had anything related to Little Green near her. Ai Yue even found a pit and, with a pained expression, buried the military knife she had used to dig out its eyes.

But the reality was, she still couldn’t escape the pursuit and blockade of the Devil Frogs!

She cautiously tried to leave the area quickly. After only a couple of steps, she ran straight into Gu Xiheng and the others.

”Ai Yue?” Gu Xiheng recognized the person sneaking around at a glance.

Ai Yue looked up and thought, ’Truly, enemies meet on a narrow road.’ How could she be so unlucky as to run into them?

”Hi, what a coincidence!” Ai Yue replied distractedly, only wanting to leave quickly.

Ignoring Ai Yue’s indifferent expression, Gu Xiheng brought the group over to her side. ”Ai Yue, where have you been all this time? As friends, we were all very worried about your family.”

Before Ai Yue could speak, Mo Li squeezed forward. ”Ai Yue, why are you alone here? Where is Ye Rui? I don’t see her?”

Seeing Gu Xiheng’s surprised look, Cheng Siyu’s face darkened. Why was this woman haunting them? She had already hidden away, so why did she reappear in front of Gu Xiheng?

Her fingernails dug deeply into her palm without her realizing it. Through their interactions recently, she understood clearly that Gu Xiheng’s heart already held someone, but unfortunately, that person wasn’t her. She could clearly feel it was Ai Yue.

At this moment, she truly wished she could kill her so she would never appear before them again.

That way, Gu Xiheng’s eyes would only have her in them. As for whether the person in his heart was her or not, she wouldn’t care, as long as Gu Xiheng stayed by her side forever.

Ai Yue had no intention of chatting with them at this moment, only saying, ”You all had better stay far away from me. I’m in trouble right now; be careful not to implicate you!”

”What trouble? Tell us. I will definitely help if I can!” Gu Xiheng’s cool, deep voice rang out.

”Yes, Ai Yue, considering you saved me before, I won’t stand by if you’re in trouble,” Mo Li also said.

Ai Yue waved her hands repeatedly, saying with some urgency, ”I know, I understand you want to help me, I thank you first, but this time is different. You can’t help me. The ones causing trouble for me are Devil Frogs. You all should hurry and stay far away from me.”

”Devil Frogs?” Gu Xiheng and the other dozen people exclaimed in unison.
