Power of Money

Chapter 144

So cold...

In the dark, Jason curled up his body.

His last trace of consciousness remained at the moment when he rolled down from the mountain.

He was holding onto Lusa's hand, and the two of them rolled down the mountain with gravel and mud. At the last moment, he saw Lusa falling on him, followed by infinite darkness.

After spacing out for a minute, Jason could feel that his body was very sore. He couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a long groan.

But then, his body was slowly enveloped by warmth.

"Lusa, is that you?"

Jason opened his mouth with difficulty, but the answer to him was an endless silence.

"Lusa Chou?"

Jason couldn't help calling softly again.

"Yes, it's me, Young Master. Are you okay?"

Finally, Jason heard Lusa's voice and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. What about you? How are you?"

In the dark, Jason couldn't see anything. He could only feel that a delicate body was holding him in her arms. Although the smell of soil filled his nose, he could faintly smell the fragrance from the girl's body.

"I'm fine as well, but it seems that the situation outside is not very positive. Young Master, you should be mentally prepared."

Lusa had always been an optimistic person. No matter how serious things got in the hospital, he had never heard her voice tremble.

"Alright, let me go first. I'm fine."

Feeling her slowly release his body, Jason sat up with the help of Lusa. Immediately, a dazzling light broke through the darkness and illuminated the scene in front of him.

A cave.

It was narrow and damp.

He was surrounded by a thick layer of mud that had rushed in, it was over his feet.

However, the position where he was lying should have been cleaned up by Lusa. Although there was a thin layer of mud, it was fine.

"Is the entrance to the cave sealed?" After checking out their current situation, Jason turned his head and looked in the direction of the light.

At this moment, the small entrance of the cave was tightly covered by several huge stones, and soil mixed with rain was constantly flowing in through the crevices. The sound of the rain outside the cave was deafening.

"Fortunately, I found this cave. In less than a minute, the hillside we rolled down collapsed, and then the entrance was sealed," Lusa said, lingering fear in her voice.

"Thank you."

Jason turned his head and saw Lusa turn away in a hurry to face the other side.

"What's wrong?"

Jason frowned and reached out his hand to hold Lusa's cheek.

"Don't, don't look..."

Although Lusa refused, Jason insisted. A cut on her face, caused by gravel, came into Jason's sight.

"I thought it was serious. It's just a small wound. You don't even dare to look at me now because of that?"

Jason smiled, then looked at it carefully and said, "It's okay. It's just some skin trauma. When we go back, I'll get the hospital to arrange the best plastic surgeon for you. You just need a little treatment. It's fine."

"Really?" Lusa asked in disbelief.

"Of course. I have been in the hospital for so long. I gained so much medical knowledge that I'm almost a doctor. I can see that it's a small issue. It's okay. Don't worry." Jason comforted her with a smile.

At the same time, his heart was in a mess.

Fortunately, in the dark, Lusa did not see the change in Jason's eyes. As soon as she calmed down, she said with some loneliness, "Master Qin, we may have lost contact with the outside world."

"Lost contact?" Jason frowned.

"Yes, your cell phone broke when we fell. You can't turn it on now. Although my cell phone is fine, there is no signal in the cave, so we can't contact people outside." Lusa explained.

"Broken?" Jason then noticed that the mobile phone parts lying on the ground were from his phone. He couldn't help but curse, "This lousy phone cost over ten thousand? I won't buy this d*mn brand again in the future."

"But don't worry, Master Qin. I believe that when your two classmates escape from the mountain and deliver the news to the police station, the police will come to save us." Lusa whispered to comfort him.

Would they escape?

Jason shook his head.

He knew too well about the physical stamina of his friends.

They almost had asthma attacks when they ran more than 1000 meters for their physical exam. Racing with two healthy men in this environment, Jason was afraid that their situation was worse than his, and maybe their lives would be in danger.

However, in this situation, the most important thing to do was to raise their morale.

No matter what, Lusa was a girl. Although she tried to be calm, Jason could still feel the helplessness and panic radiating from her cold palm.

"Yes, they will find us," Jason said with a smile.

12:30.

The rain outside the cave did not diminish at all.

The air in the cave was getting colder and colder.

The two of them sat side by side and leaned against each other. They warmed each other, spending the most difficult period together.

"If today was the last day of your life, what would you do?" Lusa curled up tightly in Jason's arms. Although this boy was several years younger than her, at this moment, Lusa somehow felt a sense of security from him, which made her feel a little warm at her most desperate moment.

"Me... I'd think about the past and see what I did in the first half of my life, the regrets that I had. Anyway, I can't make up for it, so I'd just reflect in my heart." Jason said with a smile.

"Okay." Lusa nodded and squeezed her face into Jason's arms again.

"What about you?" Jason lowered his head and asked.

"I'll let you live," Lusa said without thinking.

"Me?" Jason smiled in confusion. "Everyone is going to die. How can you let me live?"

Lusa shook her head and said softly, "I'll tell you then. It's too gross to say it now."

"Gross?"

Jason was stunned.

But then, tragic scenes of foreign rescue teams saving trapped people, surfaced in his mind.

"I don't have the habit of eating human flesh." Jason patted Lusa's back, but he forgot that her body was extremely weak. Feeling the pain, Lusa immediately let out an irrepressible moan.

"You, your body is reacting..."

After a while, Lusa said blushing. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jason's face turned red. The two of them were close together, and Lusa could clearly feel any subtle changes in his body.

"Do you need me to help you?" Lusa stretched out her hand gingerly and reached out between their bodies...

"Oh..."

The inexplicable heat dispelled the remaining cold in his body.

The contact between the two of them had always remained light and experimental.

But this time, Jason could feel that Lusa seemed to think of this as the last moment of her life and wanted to take the last step with him.

But the environment was too lousy.

It wasn't convenient...

Jason was about to cry.

"Are Jason Qin and Lusa Chou inside?"

Suddenly, a sonorous and forceful voice rang out outside the cave.

"We're here!"

Almost subconsciously, the two of them shouted at the same time and quickly stood up. They looked excitedly at the light coming in from outside the cave. At the same time, the noise of a helicopter engine broke through the sound of the rain.

"Please don't worry. Keep calm. I'm Elton Zhang, the captain of the Silver Bear Special Forces in the Nandu Capital Military Region. I'm under orders to rescue you!"

As he spoke, iron chains were fixed onto the giant stones blocking the entrance of the cave. Then, the sound of the helicopter engine grew louder. Suddenly, like the first ray of sunshine after a storm, the entrance opened up and the stones were lifted into the sky by a helicopter.

A column of strong light came in, and dozens of fully armed special forces soldiers stood neatly at the entrance of the cave.

"Hello, I'm Elton Zhang, the Commander of the Silver Bear team, a special field force in the Nandu Military Region. I'm here to rescue you two. Please rest assured that the enemy has been captured and you can leave safely."
