Duan Yanhao merely smiled and didn’t answer. He put on the necklace for Bai Yaoyao again.
Bai Yaoyao’s skin was pale and alluring. When he was putting on the necklace, his fingers felt a tingling sensation as he caressed her skin.
Given a different circumstance, he would have progressed a step further with her. However, he had noticed small wounds all over her body when he was treating her, causing his heart to ache badly.
She was a lady that he wanted to pamper and cherish, yet she had suffered greatly because of him.
Nevertheless, he knew that Bai Yaoyao wasn’t frail and weak. She could take a beating and would still be beautiful.
Bai Yaoyao was still doubtful. “Yanhao, how did you contact the others?”
“I used this necklace. After saving you, I immediately used the system hidden in it to contact my grandfather.”
Bai Yaoyao frowned and asked, “This necklace?”
“That’s right. There’s a chip inside that allows communication with the outside world. It was invited by the top scientists in the world. It can send out a call for help even when communication has completely broken down.” As Duan Yanhao explained, he pressed on a small switch on Bai Yaoyao’s necklace, showing her the chip inside.
Bai Yaoyao was shocked. All of this was beyond her imagination, and it made her gasp in wonder.
After snapping out of her shock, her eyes lit up. “That means we’ll be safe, right?”
Duan Yanhao held her hand and nodded. “Trust me, we’ll be fine. After the sun sets, I’ll take you to climb up the cliff and meet the Duan family’s guards to leave this place.”
“Okay.” She wasn’t afraid. Instead, she felt safe and secure.
While Bai Yaoyao and Duan Yanhao were trapped in the cave, the war in the south had completely broken out. Both sides had invested in a large number of soldiers and were fighting incessantly.
Firearms were discharged, and explosions were rampant. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
After judging the situation, the Ouyang troops from the east and Duanmu troops from the west also sent in their forces, attempting to win the war themselves.
All of Country X was engaged in the war now, with all four sides sending in their men.
This time, the citizens finally realized that Country X was truly at war. They began to attempt to flee the country, hoping to leave as soon as possible.
During tumultuous times like this, everyone was trying to escape. No one cared about their jobs at all.
Although the southern troops were in a slightly better position, it was still chaotic for them, and they were still anxious.
This time, all the reporters gathered in Country X and began to cover the war. News about it was spread all over the world and became major headlines.
…
Country E
Ever since Yun Bilu returned with Huang Yize, she began to attend classes obediently.
When Huang Yize left and went back to the Black Dragon Gang, she didn’t feel as reluctant to part with him. She just thought that she must be very important to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent the new year with her.
With that sense of security, she thought that he would definitely come back. But when she was bored, she would still worry about his well-being. Once she heard his voice over the phone, she’d feel more assured.
Three months passed quickly. When Yun Bilu made her way to training one day, she overheard passersby talking about Country X.
“It’s so scary. Did you hear about those bombs dropping all over the place?”
“I heard that people can even hear the battle from their homes. Tsk, tsk. Who would have thought that a civil war will happen during this time and age?”
