Leaning against the tree for a while, Gu Nianzhi felt much more energized. She stood up and took her phone out of her pocket to check.
It was already the fourth day, and the phone had less than 50% battery left. The signal was still missing, and she couldn't go online at all.
She tried to call again, this time only to Smith. She didn't dare call the police, but there was still no answer. The phone rang a few times before it went to voicemail.
Gu Nianzhi began to feel that something was wrong.
Holding her phone, she sat in the bushes in front of the tree. She squinted and planned to go through the entire situation, but before she could start thinking, the bear cub rolled over like a ball.
What "rolled" along with it was something that looked like a cone.
Gu Nianzhi leaned against the tree and was shocked to see the bear cub push the thing towards her.
What was it?
Gu Nianzhi's gaze shifted to the thing that had just rolled to her feet. After staring for a few seconds, she couldn't help but scream!
Ah!
It was a beehive!
Gu Nianzhi immediately turned to run!
Unfortunately, she was one step too late.
Swarms of wild bees flew out of the beehive and aggressively "chased" Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi quickly covered her face with her jacket. As she ran, she complained to herself, It's not like I dug out the beehive!
These wild bees that bully the weak and fear the strong!
Go sting the bear cub if you can!
What kind of man are you to chase after an innocent victim like me?
Unfortunately, the bees couldn't hear her voice and focused on chasing her. They surrounded her exposed wrists and arms and stung them merrily.
Gu Nianzhi was in pain and itching, and soon her arms were swollen.
She was in a panic and covered her head, so she accidentally fell into a small pond.
Splash! Water splashed everywhere. She hid under the water, and the wild bees scattered in all directions.
Gu Nianzhi stayed in the water for a while before slowly climbing out.
There were no more bees, but her phone was flooded again.
But this time, she already had experience. She calmly put the phone in a place where the sun shone brightly to dry.
The little black bear seemed to know that it had done something wrong. It stuck its head out of the forest and looked at her. It didn't dare to come over, nor did it push its favorite beehive over.
Out of the corner of her eye, Gu Nianzhi caught a glimpse of the little black bear's evasive figure. She looked down and ignored it. She went to find a few sharp branches to skewer the fish with.
The Alps were filled with lakes formed during the Ice Age. There were plump whitebait in the lakes, so it should be delicious. Unfortunately, there was no seasoning. Gu Nianzhi's face turned green as she ate.
After forking the fish, he used a small Swiss army knife to cut it open and wash it. Then, he used a tree branch to fork it onto the grill.
At this time, the little black bear finally couldn't resist the temptation of the roasted fish and ran over, the unfortunate honeycomb rolling by its feet.
Gu Nianzhi now knew that all the wild bees in the beehive had probably run off. She glanced at it from the corner of her eye and wasn't afraid anymore. However, her eyes turned and she remembered that honey could also be used as seasoning.
If he smeared it on the grilled fish …
Gu Nianzhi licked her lips and felt even hungrier just thinking about it.
The little black bear pushed the beehive to her and circled around her and the grill, obviously very curious.
Gu Nianzhi's expression was indifferent as she calmly used a stick to pick up the beehive. Then, she took out her Swiss army knife and used a small spoon to dig out the wild honey in the beehive.
She had to admit that the little black bear was pretty good. The beehive he found had a lot of honey in it. He casually used a small spoon to dig out a glistening yellow honey.
This was all natural wild honey!
It was said to be very nutritious.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
So the little black bear had bribed her with a beehive?
Gu Nianzhi despised her own lack of integrity, but she still smeared the honey on the fish.
The little black bear saw that she hadn't eaten the honey and had smeared it on the fish instead. It panicked and circled around her faster and faster. Gu Nianzhi felt dizzy watching it, but she ignored it and calmly placed the honey coated whitebait on the grill to roast.
As soon as the fire started, the little black bear ran away.
Animals were afraid of fire. It was instinctive.
Gu Nianzhi looked down at the fire for a while, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the little black bear hiding in the forest and peeking at her.
Thinking about it, Gu Nianzhi picked up the fish she had caught and picked out two of the larger and fatter ones. She carried them to the edge of the forest and placed them near the little black bear. She pointed at the fish and told it to eat without worry.
Bears ate fish. Gu Nianzhi remembered seeing it at the zoo.
However, she didn't plan on feeding the honey coated fish to the little black bear. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but the little black bear was a wild animal. Once it got addicted to cooked food, it would affect its ability to survive in the wild.
The little black bear came out of the forest and lowered its head to smell the fish Gu Nianzhi gave it. It grabbed it with its little black paws and flipped it around on the ground.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She turned to walk back to her grill and smelled a sweet aroma.
She couldn't help swallowing. It smelled so good!
It should be done by now.
Gu Nianzhi's cooking skills had improved exponentially over the past two days. She had gone from grilling the fish until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Other than the lack of seasoning, it was delicious.
This time, she added some wild honey. Mmm ~ ~ It was so delicious she almost swallowed her tongue.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but roast two honey whitebait and eat them all. She even licked her fingers reluctantly in the end.
This was the most satisfying meal she had in the past few days.
After eating her fill, her mood was much better. She was no longer in despair or depressed.
Hugging her legs, she sat by the river and watched the sunset. The sunset was dazzling and beautiful, and the large patches of color were breathtaking.
Gu Nianzhi's mind wasn't on the scenery at all.
The events of the past few days forced her to face reality. This time, not only did someone want her dead, but that person was very powerful and had great power. Their plan was meticulous, and they had probably already taken control of the Munich area's police station. That meant they must be working with Seth's stepfather, York.
Also, the other party had H3aB7, which had been used against her in the Hua Xia Empire. That person also knew about the scarf.
No, the scarf could be fake and not from Huo Shao at all.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it carefully and frowned again.
No, the scarf should have been from Huo Shao because the colors and style clearly suited her taste. Only Huo Shao would know so clearly, and no one else could have bought something that suited her taste so well.
If the scarf was really from Huo Shao, then anyone who knew that Huo Shao had sent her the scarf was a suspect.
With that thought, Gu Nianzhi wasn't even sure if Huo Shao was in Germany.
If his text messages could be faked, then what else couldn't be faked?
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her phone and looked down to see there was only 20% battery left.
If she didn't call now, how would she get out of these mountains?
There was no internet connection, and she couldn't even look at a map. She had no idea where she was.
She had no choice. It seemed like she only had one way out now, and that was to follow the river downstream. She would eventually reach a place with people, right?
As long as she got out and found a place with people, she could find a way to contact Smith and the others. If that didn't work, she could call Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze.
She now deeply regretted not mentioning that she was being hunted when she left a message for Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze.
If she had told them, she believed they would definitely come to Germany to save her.
They were the ones who truly stood behind her!
Gu Nianzhi pulled herself together and waved her arms in the air.
Only then did she realize that the bear cub had come out of the forest and was sitting beside her. They were looking at the little river that was illuminated by the setting sun.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
The little black bear must have become a spirit = _ =.
Gu Nianzhi and the little bear sat quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun. The setting sun elongated Gu Nianzhi's silhouette, and the little black bear's chubby silhouette was elongated into an oval shape. It was very interesting.
She sat there until the sun went down and the surroundings gradually darkened.
Tired birds returned to the forest, and the occasional chirping of birds could be heard in the air. It was a bit like "all paths are gone, and all birds are gone."
Unfortunately, this kind of mood was beautiful in poetry, but it was a disaster when she was actually in it.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes internally. She unlocked her phone and called Smith again.
As she expected, there was still no answer. It went straight to voicemail.
Gu Nianzhi hung up without another word.
After so many days and so many voicemails, it would be strange if she thought Smith didn't have time to answer the phone!
Gu Nianzhi was a computer expert, and she had learned a lot about computer hacking from Zhao Liangze, who had been a top hacker.
If she hadn't guessed wrong, Smith's phone had most likely been installed with a Trojan blocking program.
Every time she called, it went straight to voicemail.
Gu Nianzhi's expression darkened, but a sense of heroism was ignited in her bones.
Haha, you want to fight me with your wits and schemes?
I'll play with you to the end!
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and activated the hacking program on her phone.
It was a small plug-in program that she had written when she had nothing better to do. It could find the other party's address through a phone connection.
It was actually a simple database search program.
There were two types of phones nowadays. One was the original landline, connected by a ground wire, and each number had a fixed specification.
The other was the network phone, which was easier to find. It was Gu Nianzhi's old line of work.
The original landline connected to the ground wire was more difficult for normal hackers to find, but it was very simple for Gu Nianzhi.
She had Huo Shaoheng, and from him, she could easily get the world's landline distribution map. She had entered it all into her small program's database.
So she thought for a while and dialed Smith's number.
Soon after, her call was transferred to voicemail. Gu Nianzhi still didn't say anything and quietly watched her small program begin to run.
It only took her five seconds to get the address of the voicemail. It turned out to be a place not far from Munich.
Gu Nianzhi then left a message. "Are you stupid? You think I won't know if you used a Trojan blocking program? Xiaoxin will wipe you all out! "With that, she hung up.
She taunted them and was in a good mood. She got up and returned to the beech tree.
There was a nice big rock there that she could lean on to sleep on.
Last night, the little black bear and its Mama had slept there.
She hadn't seen the little bear's Mama the entire day. She didn't know where she went.
But Gu Nianzhi didn't dare be careless. She still climbed up the tree and returned to the branches from last night. She slept on the tree like a bird.
But to her dismay, the bear cub also climbed up and found a place near her to lie down and sleep while hugging a branch.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Whatever, she could tell the little black bear didn't have any ill intentions.
Also, with it here, the other beasts probably wouldn't dare to climb up.
Gu Nianzhi went to sleep with peace of mind.
She was very tired and immediately fell asleep.
She did fall asleep, but the person in charge of the voicemail was scared shitless and went to find their leader like a madman.
"Boss, boss! Bad news! That woman knows … knows it's us! She even said she's going to wipe us out! "
"Bullsh * t!" The man yelled. "How is that possible?! She's still in the Alps! How would she know? "
"Listen to this!" The person in charge of the voicemail quickly played Gu Nianzhi's message to the man.
The man was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses and said nonchalantly, "Alright, she's just bluffing. You're an idiot if you take it seriously!" Then he asked, "Have you confirmed her location?"
As long as Gu Nianzhi called, they would be able to track her location.
"Yes … yes …" The person trembled. "Do we really not need to retreat?"
"Send out the location and let the team outside receive it. Also, the boss gave us orders, so we were going to leave anyway. "The man said fiercely." Inform everyone that we're leaving in five minutes! "
So he was still afraid and guilty.
The subordinate secretly despised this useless little leader.
Unfortunately, the big boss wasn't here. Otherwise, he could also go above his rank and complain. Perhaps he could replace this little leader.
The subordinate's thoughts ran wild as he quickly packed up and left the large villa on the outskirts of Munich.
…
On the fifth day in the Alps, Gu Nianzhi woke up to find it raining again.
The leaves of the beech trees were also beginning to turn yellow and fall off.
She was drenched and hugged her arms as she squatted in the tree, shivering.
The little black bear had already woken up but didn't wake her. Instead, it focused on digging holes in the tree like a woodpecker. = _ =
Hearing the noise from Gu Nianzhi's side, the bear cub turned its head to look and roared at the sky before diving headfirst into the tree and falling.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
