Chapter 0 POV 1 - The Past – YanMingXiu’s POV 1 (2/2)
He missed ZhouXiang immensely. He wanted to immediately appear by ZhouXiang’s side.
But before he could leave, he received the nightmarish news.
ZhouXiang had an accident in the mountains.
It is difficult for him to recall the pain he felt when he received the call. He began to disbelieve every words spoken by the other party, the words filtering through his ears sounded gibberish. He felt that the other party is spitting out nonsense.
ZhouXiang could not be in an accident. What rainstorm? What mudslide? He absolutely does not believe it.
He thought about the many possible images when he and ZhouXiang would meet again, but it definitely did not include this.
At that time, he still hasn’t panic because ZhouXiang was only missing. At the same time, there were also a few people missing. They are very likely trapped somewhere and will definitely be found.
He couldn’t wait to delegate all his work at hand, and immediately flew directly to Guangxi, entering the mountains as fast as he could. His only thought at the time was that he needed to find ZhouXiang first, to make sure he is safe.
It had never occurred to him that ZhouXiang would really disappear completely.
He’d never dared to think that…
Time passed day by day. On the first day and the second day, he was still able to remain calm. But when the rescue team found a body of a crew member on the third day, he was already on the verge of collapse.
Everyone knew that the longer the search and rescue time drags, the less likely the victim would be rescued.
Looking at the appalling deformed corpse and thinking that ZhouXiang might have become like this, he went insane. It’s likely that he didn’t eat for a few days, likely due to the high degree of mental stress, and likely his fear and hopelessness … all of it led to the gradual erosion of his heart, he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, his brother appeared. Time has passed and it was the fifth day.
The fifth day of ZhouXiang’s disappearance.
The rescue team has begun to wrap up their work. They believe that ZhouXiang had likely perished in an unknown corner somewhere in the mountains. After all, the mountain area is an unimaginable vast area. To find a person is easier said than done.
His feeling at the time was that the whole world had completely shattered before his eyes. He forgot who he was, who was around him, and what was around him. Everything became a non-essential bubble. Only his determination to find ZhouXiang is real.
He did not believe it. He did not believe that ZhouXiang is dead. He felt that ZhouXiang is still alive. He can’t tell why. His older brother thought that he is crazy, but he really felt that ZhouXiang must be alive, must be…
He forced the rescue team to search for an entire month, searching the scope of a radius of ten kilometers but still came up with nothing. He even wanted to expand the search.
His older brother yelled at him and said that he is wasting resources, said that he is insane, said that he had gone crazy.
But he didn’t care at all. If ZhouXiang’s deformed body is really in front of him, he will really go crazy. But he must have a conclusion; otherwise he won’t be able to move on.
However, God bestowed upon him the most cruel and hopeless conclusion —- and that is uncertainty between life and death.
