025 Narrow Escape

"Quint." Just when Gu Mengmeng was almost dying, a voice sounded above their heads.

Quint paused obviously, as if he hesitated for a moment. But immediately the strength in his hands became heavier, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill Gu Mengmeng desperately.

click.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Gu Mengmeng's neck loosened, and the surrounding air suddenly poured into her mouth and nose, and she opened her mouth greedily and urgently like a stranded fish, gasping for air.

"Ah!" Quint's wailing resounded through the jungle, and a bloody severed hand was casually discarded by his side.

Gu Mengmeng fell into a soft embrace, and that person gently stroked Gu Mengmeng's back to breathe for her, as if the person who broke Kunt's arm was not him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Gu Mengmeng was very weak due to lack of oxygen, like a boneless cat curled up in the man's arms. His voice was faint, but it made Gu Mengmeng feel very at ease. Obviously someone she didn't know, but at this moment, she gave her an absolute sense of security.

Gu Mengmeng didn't know why she trusted this man who appeared out of nowhere, she just felt that his embrace was so warm, and she unconsciously wanted to rely on him.

"En." The voice was a little dry, Gu Mengmeng reluctantly responded and said nothing more.

"Would you like to come back to Saint-Nazaire with me?" the man asked again.

Gu Mengmeng looked at Quint who was still howling beside her, feeling sad in her heart. Although this person is hateful, there is one sentence that is particularly true.

In such a world, without the protection of the tribe, if she died, who would know?

What's more, in this deep mountain and old forest, Gu Mengmeng probably wouldn't survive three days even if Nina's friends didn't come to seek revenge. Instead of doing this, it's better to go back to the San Nazaire tribe first, at least there is an acquaintance like Barrett, if Elvis insists on eating her, it's not too late to run away.

Thinking of this, Gu Mengmeng nodded her head, as a consent.

With Gu Mengmeng's approval, the man seemed relieved. Supporting Gu Mengmeng's butt with one hand, stroking her neck with the other hand, holding Gu Mengmeng in his arms like a child and making her as comfortable as possible.

After walking two steps forward, passing by Quint, the man stopped, looked down at Quint and said, "Follow me back to Saint-Nazaire to accept God's punishment."

"Yes." Quint gritted his teeth, resisted the severe pain, and followed the man with his sideways arm, stumbling all the way back to Saint-Nazaire.

This night, he escaped and was hunted down again, almost dying. The extreme unease and panic consumed too much of Gu Mengmeng's physical strength, coupled with the comfort and tenderness of the man's embrace, Gu Mengmeng quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she had returned to the San Nazaire Tribe.

"Are you awake?" Elvis had a frozen face, as if he was holding back his anger, but he was reluctant to attack Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng blinked her eyes, looked around, and found that she was now in Elvis' cave, and there was no one else around.

That person last night... definitely wasn't Elvis.

Gu Mengmeng thought about it, and asked, "Where is the person who saved me last night?"

As soon as Gu Mengmeng asked the question, Elvis slammed his fist on the cave wall, sporadic debris splashed everywhere, and Gu Mengmeng curled up in fright, wanting to shrink into his own shadow.
