366 We are at our limi (1/2)

'Why do I feel this way?' Zhao Liwei though in confusion. He stares at her intently and regardless where he looks at, the more he feels that his thoughts and feelings around Gao Lan Mei do not make sense.

'Is she a distant relative?' He thought to himself, which he also a stupid idea. Zhao Liwei will not ask further and just observe further.

After that, Wei Jiayi just stayed close to Gao Lan Mei as she continued to write her runes on a bunch of small stones.

Wei Jiayi is already acting like her personal guard instead of staying close to Zhao Liwei who just stands across them, arms over his chest as he leans on the wall, with closed eyes, like he is resting.

The only sound in the chamber is from the rocks that were thrown to the other corner after Gao Lan Mei had finished on them.

”Sister, are you almost done?” Ma Fei Hong asked, after a while through her firefly. ”We are at our limit.” Her voice sounding a little worried.

Gao Lan Mei bit her lower lip after hearing that and replied. ”Not yet! Tell them to endure some more!”

...

Shizi Empire Gates

”We are all going to die!” Someone finally exclaimed, due to exhaustion.

”Shut up! The help will be here soon!” Another replied.

”Where are the reinforcements?! How long do we need to be like this?” One added sounding hopeless.

All of them agreed to stay in the barrier because they are expecting that help will arrive. Now it is near sunset and there is still no help yet!

They also understand that at this point even though they left the Shizi Empire there is no guarantee that they can keep their life due to the Yinyings waiting at the other side of the barrier.
