Chapter 49: Breaking Out of the Woods

This feeling was completely different from the feeling he usually had when he woke up. Xia Zhi naturally rested her head on his shoulder, with one hand on his chest.

Zhou Zhengan was a little stiff because of disbelief.

How could this woman get so close to him without waking him up?

You know, even in sleep, he would remain alert.

Any small sound or movement would wake him up, which was a result of his long-term training.

Even if he slept in a safe dormitory, he would not be less alert.

But Xia Zhi approached him silently, and now this woman was almost lying on his body sideways.

And he didn't feel anything at all.

This panic made him a little scared.

As a member of a secret unit who had received special training, any slowness in alertness would cost them their lives.

Zhou Zhengan lay quietly, feeling her soft body leaning against his side.

What was even more speechless was that Xia Zhi had one leg across his thigh.

The posture of the two people was too intimate.

Zhou Zhengan began to sweat on his forehead.

Oh my God!

He is a normal man.

Next to him is a soft, sweet, mature woman.

If he doesn't have any thoughts, then he is not a man.

Zhou Zhengan almost gritted his teeth and gently pushed Xia Zhi's body away.

He suddenly became a little angry. It was the first time that someone affected him so easily.

He pulled back his arms and shoulders in anger.

And pushed Xia Zhi's shoulders.

(The male protagonist was a little angry.)

"Get ready to go."

He didn't want to admit that he did it on purpose.

Unfortunately, Xia Zhi was obviously not awake at all, and muttered something in his mouth.

He didn't open his eyes, and then turned around and fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhou Zhengan felt that he was a little unreasonable.

"Xia Zhi, wake up, get up."

In fact, he also felt that he was a little cruel to do this, but they couldn't delay any longer.

As long as he woke up and became alert, he had to do something.

He couldn't leave the other party with a chance to find them.

Xia Zhi turned over again, sighed deeply, buried his head in his bent arms, and found a more comfortable sleeping position.

This time Zhou Zhengan could only grit his teeth and shook Xia Zhi vigorously.

For the first time, he felt like a tyrant.

No wonder his subordinates called him a warlord.

"Xia Zhi, we have to set off, we have to get up."

Xia Zhi opened her eyes hazily, and the light coming through the branches made her blink for a long time before she reacted.

Those eyes were watery, revealing a sense of confusion and purity.

Zhou Zhengan's heart almost trembled.

Damn it, don't look at me with such eyes.

"Xia Zhi, we have to hurry."

Xia Zhi's eyes were completely awake, and she blinked at Zhou Zhengan.

Finally awake.

"Okay, I'll get up right away."

She got out of the shed and shook off the dirt on her body. If the woolen clothes hadn't blocked the two people last night, I'm afraid they would be even more dusty now.

Xia Zhi even combed her hair while tidying herself up, and quickly braided her long hair into two braids.

After a day of hard work yesterday, her hair looked like a chicken coop.

Watching Xia Zhi quickly make herself clean and tidy again, it was like a magic trick.

Zhou Zhengan was seriously suspicious, obviously he knew too little about women.

However, they had to set off at dawn and find their way before the other party caught up.

The two continued to move forward. After resting last night, Xia Zhi's legs were obviously much better than yesterday, and there was no problem walking.

On the way, Xia Zhi casually cut two pieces of cactus. Anyway, this thing can replenish water and physical strength.

The two people devoured it and filled their appetites.

They searched for edible things along the way.

Even Zhou Zhengan was not sure whether these things could be found in the desert outside after leaving the jungle.

Zhou Zhengan went to catch some small prey.

He also considerately removed the shells of these prey, so that they were unrecognizable and it was impossible to tell what they were.

Otherwise, Xia Zhi would never put them in his mouth even if he saw them.

The two people had a tacit understanding. The distance between them was not far, and they were only five or six steps away from each other in many cases, doing their own things.

One was busy collecting these plants that could be protected and used as water sources, while the other was looking for meat that could be used as protein.

Not to mention that the speed was not slow along the way, but the two people also collected quite a lot of supplies.

This is also thanks to the military green shoulder bag that Zhou Zhengan carried on his shoulder. If it weren't for the best storage function, they would probably be unable to move now.

The bag is now full.

The two people's stomachs are also full.

Soon they saw the edge of the red yeast forest. The two looked at each other and this was also the most dangerous place.

There was no shelter outside this forest, which was equivalent to them being in the sight of others.

If those people were still chasing them, this would be the best place to ambush them.

Zhou Zhengan pulled Xia Zhi to squat in the bushes.

"You stay here, I'll go out, I'll go 50 steps away, if there's still no movement, you run fast.

Run in one breath, no matter what you hear or find, just run, do you hear me?"

Zhou Zhengan's eyes scanned the surroundings sharply.

"This is not good, you'll easily become a target."

Xia Zhi didn't like the feeling of letting others serve as a target for him.

They are all human beings, no matter what responsibilities and duties Zhou Zhengan has, he shouldn't sacrifice his life to protect himself.

"You are a woman, I should stand up to protect you at this moment, and I have undergone most training, if there is really danger, I can avoid it more easily than you.

Protecting women, protecting the elderly, weak women and children, that is our duty. Serving the people is my belief."

After Zhou Zhengan said this, he stared at the road intently.

In fact, as long as they run about 1km forward, there will be sand dunes, and they will basically disappear from the other party's sight after crossing the sand dunes.

This is why he chose 50 steps.

At a distance of 50 steps, even if the opponent had a rifle in his hand, it would be difficult for them.

Zhou Zhengan pressed Xia Zhi's shoulder, letting her hide in the bushes, and walked forward quickly.

He was very fast, and Xia Zhi saw the figure gradually rushing out of the red yeast forest.

Xia Zhi's heart was pounding, and he clenched his fists tightly, not knowing what would happen.

He just prayed in his heart that nothing would happen.
