Female Novel
Chapter 1160
The outskirts of the Capital, at the foot of the mountain.
At noon.
The winter rain was still falling, constantly washing away all the dust in the world, washing everywhere
clean.
Behind the mountain it was even colder. The whistling gusts of wind came furiously rolling with the
coldness.
Charlotte was soaked all over, and blown by the cold wind, her consciousness was muddled.
From about 3:00 a.m., they walked until noon and still hadn't found a place to get some rest.
She could no longer walk and collapsed into Tommy's arms.
Tommy hugged Charlotte in a hurry, and a heavy concern surfaced on his face.
Last night's escape was far more difficult than he had imagined. Although they eluded the heavily
patrolled guards, the back of the mountain was largely deserted, and there wasn't a road to get down
the mountain.
He led Charlotte through thorny bushes, braving the heavy rain and muddy hillsides that left them in a
sorry state.
They also fell countless times. He and Charlotte had got multiple scratches, and even Charlotte's face
were cut a few bloody slashes.
Right now, Charlotte was even in a coma.
Tommy wrapped Charlotte in his arms as he took off his tattered coat and wrapped it around her body.
Because he knew that the loss of temperature was fatal.
When the body lost more calories than it replenished, it caused chills, cardiorespiratory failure, coma,
cardiac arrest, and eventually death. There was not much time left for him. Within two hours, he had to
find some place to stay.novelbin
He picked up Charlotte on his back and walked with difficulty through the heavy rain. The surrounding
area was barren, all unexplored land.
Fortunately, after about another hour of walking, he finally found a store.
Entering the store, he was greeted by an amiable elderly couple.
"Hello, you ..." When they looked at the two covered in mud, the old couple asked in surprise.
"Oh, we're a couple, we were here to go hiking yesterday, but we got lost in this heavy rain. My
girlfriend fell alseep from exhaustion, and we want a room to rest and take a shower. Is that okay?"
Tommy babbled that he and Charlotte were a couple and was afraid that the store would not accept
them. After all, they looked very strange at the moment.
"Gee, lad. You guys are too bold. How can you just climb this mountain? The other side of the
mountain is the territory of the military, and it is blocked by martial law. This side of the mountain is
steep and dangerous, and no one climbs it, so if you go up there casually, you might get killed.”
The old couple hurriedly greeted them and entered the house.
"Thanks, I'll get my girlfriend settled first and then come out for registeration." Tommy nodded his head
repeatedly in thanks.
"There is no rush. You guys rest well. Go take a shower first. It must be freezing." The old couple
enthusiastically took Tommy to the second floor room, "I'll bring the meal to your door later."
"Okay."
Tommy hurriedly closed the door behind him, then went inside and put Charlotte into the bathtub,
where he turned on the hot water and used the warm stream to constantly wash away her muddy body,
as well as to drive away the cold.
This alone was not enough. It could not solve the problem of temperature loss with the wet clothes on
the body.
Her lips were already completely white, and she curled up entirely. Her body was shaking
intermittently…
