Chapter 363 There is a safe house nearby
"I understand your concerns." Su Ming held her hand and felt her nervousness. "But as long as we are together, we will definitely find a way out."
The two of them faced each other silently, the candlelight flickering between them, seemingly reflecting each other's moods. Ali's mood gradually calmed down. Although the road ahead was still difficult, she felt a sense of security with Su Ming by her side.
"Have you ever thought that our lives will return to peace one day?" Ali asked in a low voice, looking through the darkness outside the window, as if expecting something.
"I hope that one day I can live a normal life with you." Su Ming's voice was gentle but firm. "Maybe one day, we can walk hand in hand along the country road on a sunny day."
Ali smiled slightly, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. "That must be wonderful."
At this moment, there was a slight movement outside, as if something was approaching. Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly stood up, his ears perked up, trying to hear the sound outside clearly.
"Listen!" he whispered, his eyes fixed on the door, alert in his heart.
Ali also held her breath, her eyes showing anxiety. Their situation was extremely dangerous, and any slight movement could mean the enemy was approaching.
"I'll go check it out," Su Ming said softly, slowly moving towards the door. He tried to keep his footsteps as light as possible, fearing making any noise. His heartbeat quickened, and his mind raced through possible escape plans.
"I'll follow you." Ali said quietly. Although she was nervous, she didn't want to leave Su Ming.
"Wait here, I'll be back soon." Su Ming whispered, gave Ali a reassuring look, and then opened the door.
It was pitch black outside, and the corridor was silent, with only the sound of his own heartbeat to be heard. Su Ming silently prayed to himself that all his worries were unnecessary. He quietly walked out of the room and slowly approached the window, trying to peek outside through the gap in the curtains.
As time went by, the noise outside seemed to grow more pronounced, and Su Ming began to feel uneasy. Just then, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. His heart tightened, and he turned around to go back.
"Hurry up!" A voice came from the end of the corridor, with anxiety and urgency.
Su Ming's heart trembled, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly rushed back to the room, closed the door, and whispered to Ali, "The enemy is approaching, we must leave immediately!"
"Are we leaving now?" Ali's eyes showed panic and her heart was in a state of confusion.
"No time to explain, just follow me!" Su Ming held Ali's hand, with only one thought in his mind: to escape from here as soon as possible.
The two quickly packed their backpacks. Su Ming carefully checked his surroundings to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, then ran towards the back door of the hotel. His heartbeat was accelerating, his mind was churning with thoughts, and he was constantly alert to any movement around him.
"Are we going out the back door?" Ali asked, her voice nervous.
"Yes, there may be enemies ahead, we have to avoid them." Su Ming responded, and had already started to think about the next escape route in his mind.
When they reached the back door, Su Ming gently opened it and poked his head out to check if it was safe outside. Moonlight streamed into the courtyard, and it was quiet, seemingly devoid of human presence.
"Hurry up!" he urged in a low voice, and carefully slipped out through the back door with Ali.
Under the cover of darkness, they quickly crossed the courtyard and ran toward the distant woods. Su Ming's heart was filled with urgency, sensing the threat behind him. He knew that time was running out and he had to find a safe hiding place as soon as possible.
"Where should we go?" Ali panted, her heart still filled with anxiety.
"Let's find a secluded place first and figure out a plan later," Su Ming replied, mentally pondering his next move. He tried to remain calm, but the anxiety within him remained lingering.
Deep in the woods, they finally found a small, sheltered spot where they could rest for a while. Su Ming leaned against a tree, took a deep breath, and silently warned himself not to let his guard down.
"We are safe for now." Su Ming said, turning to look at Ali, trying to make her relax.
Ali nodded slightly, but she still felt a little uneasy. She felt the pressure of escape was increasing, and she was afraid that she would be caught up at any second.
"What should we do?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"I need to find a reliable place to reconnect with my companions." Su Ming's eyes were firm, but he was secretly calculating his next move in his heart.
"Do you think they can find us?" Ali felt a surge of worry in her heart and her eyes flashed with anxiety.
"As long as we stay calm, we will definitely find a way out." Su Ming held her hand, trying to give her some strength.
At this moment, a faint sound came from the distance, as if footsteps were approaching them. Su Ming's heart tightened and he immediately became alert.
"Someone is coming!" he whispered, pulling Ali to hide behind a tree quickly, praying silently in his heart.
They held their breath, listening intently to the noise outside. Su Ming's heartbeat was like thunder, and he felt a growing sense of urgency.
"I hope it's just someone passing by." Ali's voice trembled slightly, and she prayed in her heart that everything would go smoothly.
However, as the footsteps drew closer, Su Ming's heart tightened, ready to take action at any moment. As they waited anxiously, several figures finally appeared in sight.
"Let's go, it's too dangerous here!" A voice whispered, obviously a familiar companion.
Su Ming's heart was filled with joy, and he immediately rushed out. "It's me, Su Ming!"
"Why are you here?" the companion asked in surprise, with concern in his eyes. "Come on, follow us!"
Ali also revealed a look of surprise, and her guard relaxed slightly. She pulled Su Ming closer, secretly grateful for his presence, as if she had seen a ray of hope in the darkness.
"Where are we going?" Su Ming asked, trying his best to remain calm.
"There's a safe house nearby where we can hide for the time being," said the companion, with an anxious glint in his eyes.
Su Ming nodded, secretly glad that they had finally found a glimmer of hope. They followed their companions and ran towards the safe house, a glimmer of hope igniting in their hearts.
As they ran, Ali held Su Ming's hand tightly, as if they were sharing their strength. Su Ming could sense her nervousness, but he also understood that only by walking hand in hand could they meet the challenges of the future.
When they arrived at the safe house, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax a little. He looked around, confirming there were no traces of the enemy, and secretly felt grateful that this place had provided them with temporary shelter.
