On the road, Chiang Xiao had already spent three days.
This place was truly too remote, too barren.
And at every station, when it was time to change buses, she would make three phone calls. The first naturally was to Yang Zhiqi, to ask if there was any news about Meng Xinian and the others. Each time, she held great hope, but each time, the answer she received was negative.
"The other side is still searching, they haven't found them."
"The neighboring forces say, our side cannot send people across the border for the time being."
Chiang Xiao once became so agitated she almost smashed the phone.
The second call was to report her safety back to Huaming County.
The third call was to Kuang Yunxian, as she had promised to call him.
"Brother Kuang, I estimate that it will be difficult to find a phone to call you once I move forward, unless I'm at the Supervisor Guard Outpost. Even if I'm there, I might not call, so if I don't call after this, you don't need to worry."
