The Schoolgirl Secret Agent - Chapter 1360
Chapter 1360: Sleeping on the Tree. Shuya’s Missing
Leng Hanzhe’s question piqued everyone’s curiosity.
Feeling the blatant gazes on her, Yun Jian did not shy away from the stares but met their eyes openly instead. She smiled, her cherry red lips ticking up in the corners, and answered amidst everyone’s anticipating gaze, “Does it matter? You believe what you want. There’s nothing for me to say.”
Yun Jian turned to call Mu Ying and Lin Yuan after that and led the way forward.
“Hey, Yun Jian, wait for us!” The others rushed to follow seeing that the three girls were leaving—even students from Woolim Military School kept up in fear.
No one cared about their pride at this moment because it was not as important as their life. Following Yun Jian could at least guarantee that they stayed alive!
Wu Bukui, Xu Wei, Ma Xiaoyao, and the remaining Woolim Military School students hurried after Yun Jian, going whichever way Yun Jian was going.
Yun Jian did not try to throw them off and abandon them either.
They went from morning, to afternoon, till evening. The desert island was chilly at dusk. There was no sign of life around them and wild animals could be heard growling occasionally.
The students sat huddled together looking rather shaken.
“The firewood’s here. It’s all here.” Listening to Yun Jian, Leng Hanzhe arranged for several guys to collect the firewood and heaped them together.
“Mn.” Yun Jian took a glance and told Leng Hanzhe, “Use it sparingly. The fire stays until the sun rises in the morning. Pair everyone up to stay guard at night.”
She then scanned the students who were setting up their tents in the area and went to a tree. With a light bounce from her step on the ground, she sprang up the tree speedily and lay on a strong looking branch.
“Yun Jian, what are you… doing?” Wen Peiling who saw it asked Yun Jian with a surprised gape of mouth; there was also a sense of bewilderment in her gaze.
“Sleeping,” Yun Jian replied and closed her eyes.
“Sleeping on the tree? Please, does she think she’s filming an action movie?” Lin Shuya scowled, unable to hold back her arrogance.
Wen Peiling tugged Lin Shuya’s sleeve the moment she said that.
“Shuya, don’t be like that. Yun Jian’s saved us twice! She’s our savior!” Wen Peiling soothed Lin Shuya on her shoulders.
Lin Shuya replied indignantly, “Senior Peiling, you’re always so kind…”
…
Yun Jian did not hear what they said as she closed her eyes to rest right away.
The next three days, they took shelter at the same spot. The guys went to the beach to catch fish and collect firewood in the day and lit up a bonfire in the night to prevent wild animals from coming close when no one paid attention.
The fourth day, a group of them picked some fresh mushrooms and were about to cook them to eat when Yun Jian stopped and nagged them.
The fifth morning, Yun Jian was woken up by screams. She opened her eyes, hopped off the tree, and saw Wen Peiling and a few other girls screeching in horror. The others all looked panicky.
“Shuya’s missing? Shuya’s missing! …”
“How could a person go missing out of the blue?” someone asked with colors drained off their face.
“Ah, I remember. I saw her going to the beach alone yesterday evening and I asked her what she’s going to do. She ignored me and I remember I that I went to sleep first…” a girl said shakily.
It was indescribably terrifying when someone in the team went missing in an eerie forest like this.
“What do we do? What do we do?” Some girls were at a loss for words.
“Don’t panic. We’ll go to the beach to look for her.” Leng Hanzhe was anxious as well but he calmly gathered a few guys to go look for Lin Shuya at the beach.
