1268 Going Separate Ways (2/2)

”What are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? Let me go!” He He struggled but was no match for a three-man team.

Zhang Zian stood aside and spoke words that agitated her further. ”If you really have the ability, you will quickly absorb the energy of the universe and then transform into a superwoman. Then you can push them away… You simply don't have that ability, so stay here and be a good girl!”

”You… They clearly said that you can feel the energy of the universe and are very talented. I secretly admire you, so why don't you speak up for me? Why go against me?” she yelled and glared at him.

Zhang Zian brushed his hair back and sighed. ”I have long wanted to say this. Now I have a chance. Sorry, but I am undercover!”

”Put her in the car!” Wei Kang waved his hand. ”Leave someone to look after her. Lock the door! Don't let her run!”

The three students agreed in unison and forced He He into a vehicle, pushing her into the middle seat at the rear. Gao Ke and Xiao Tianyu sat on either side and sandwiched her, much like, well, a sandwich.

Wei Kang realigned the cars. In addition to Nabari's vehicle, they had initially had a total of five cars. However, Wei Kang's had been damaged in the desert, and the remaining four were now driven by Wei Kang, Salem, Du Xuetao, and Zhang Zian, respectively.

”Hurry and pack up. Take all that you can take. If you don't take it, you will lose it,” Wei Kang commanded.

Zhang Zian also packed up his things with the others and tied tents and moisture-proof mats to the roof rack. However, he did not get into his car.

”Xiao Zhang, what's the matter? Why don't you get in?” Wei Kang asked from his car.

”You go first. I want to go inside and see what Peter Lee is doing. If they are partaking in illegal activities, I must stop them. I can't risk damaging the friendship between China and Egypt...or the Chinese and Liberian people!” he said, full of pride.

Wei Kang heard it and hurriedly said, ”Oh! Xiao Zhang, don't be a hero! Those people are crazy, and you saw the knife they have. If you try to stop them, they will definitely not allow you to. You might get into serious trouble…”

”You can rest assured that I am not a fool. I will secretly look at the situation first. If I can stop it, I will stop it. If it doesn't work, I will not force myself. I have a sense of proportion,” Zhang Zian promised.

Wei Kang sighed. ”I have lived many years, but I dare not think as recklessly as you…”

”Don't worry. Leave with everyone. I will catch up with you as soon as possible.” Zhang Zian had no time to lose and urged him to leave.

The two of them, together with Nabari, discussed the GPS coordinates of the meeting place. They decided that Nabari would lead the expedition team out but not via the original route. This was out of fear of bumping into Peter Lee. They would then wait for Zhang Zian.

They had limited supplies and could only wait for him for up to 48 hours before they had to leave.

Zhang Zian recorded the GPS coordinates. Under his repeated urging, Wei Kang started the car, left, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
