477 You Dont Realize How Lucky You Are (1/2)
Han Chu did not want to cost an innocent person's life. Even though this salacious looking ruffian did not present himself as a good citizen and willingly joined the organization that he thought was 'cool'… no matter what, as annoying as he was, he was a person. To die simply because he had made one wrong choice in life would be quite sad. Therefore, to prevent his kidnapper from killing the ruffian, Han Chu could only shut up and cooperate with the kidnapper. He tried his best not to rise to the bait…
So be it, he was not going to lower himself to the standard of a stupid bird, or else he might be seeing the man from the inside of a freezer the next day.
The kidnapper was there to toy with Han Chu. Seeing that the latter had no reaction, he retreated out of boredom. The ruffian was fearless in his ignorance. While he fed the man, he gloated about the dangerous situation that he was in and naturally tried to mock Han Chu while he was at it.
Han Chu felt like that was the most difficult meal that he had ever had to endure.
Finally, the ruffian left him to his peace of mind. Han Chu sighed in relief. He sat in bed and slowly nudged back into a lying position. He was going to rest to gather strength to face what might happen next. Thankfully, the stupid bird had his uses. At least he would not discover the little things that Han Chu had done. The man was not going to suffer the insult silently.

”Eh?” Anthony was holding the bowl to drink the farmer's homemade alcohol when his eyes glanced toward the laptop and saw a new signal. Instantly, the man jumped up, almost splashing the wine on everyone else.
It was already after midnight. Due to the surrounding mountains and the lack of lights, the place was dark. Ye Shuang closed her eyes, listening to the strange noises around her. Hearing the excitement from Anthony, she also opened her eyes to lean over in confusion. ”Tony?”
Anthony finished analyzing the signal. He rushed over, hugging the laptop. Excitement was clear on his face. ”It's Han's signal! It must be him! I am very familiar with this frequency; I did one for him earlier!”
As he spoke, he shoved the laptop forward until it was almost right in Ye Shuang's face. ”Look! Look! And it's moving! Han must be fine!”
Ye Shuang stared at the laptop screen that was almost stuck to her face. She wanted to say that the screen was too close for her to see anything… but never mind. Since they had gotten Han Chu's signal, it was understandable why Anthony was acting so excitedly. ”Hmm… having the signal is a good thing. We should go and trace it in person.”
After saying that, Ye Shuang pushed her hands against the ground and stood up. But before she could steady herself, a sudden dizziness struck her brain. It felt like the world before her eyes was tittering, and a faded curtain covered her vision. Several seconds later, her sight slowly returned to normal.
Anthony answered and pulled back his laptop to study the signal. He did not notice the strangeness that temporarily assaulted Ye Shuang at all.
After she regained her breath, she smiled bitterly. Ye Shuang placed her hands before her eyes. She tried to open and close them. She could only feel the difference in the strength of the muscles. Her mastery of her muscles was no longer as accurate as before, and the balance of her body was worsening.
This was the signal of her internal cellular balance being ruined. In other words, her genes were about to go on another upbreak.
There was no free lunch in the world. For all the advantages that she had gained earlier, she was now paying it back.
”Ye, come and look at this,” Anthony suddenly said with a frown. ”The signal is heading toward us.”
Ye Shuang snapped out of it. She happened to meet Anthony's eyes, who turned to her.
”The signal is moving here…” She repeated to herself. Thinking back to what they had discussed in the morning, this time, even Ye Shuang could not stifle the shock that she was feeling. ”It can't be…”
