Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

There were no sounds in the woods.

Meng Qi looked at his wristwatch.

“Meng Qi, do you think the plan will work?”

“There is no time limit for the selection. Sieges are a common strategy.”

Ai Bo said, “I heard that someone could survive in the woods with just water for one whole month. Are we going to do this to them for one month? There is so much water in the woods.”

“We won’t,” Meng Qi said. “It won’t even last ten days. Just wait.”

“Why? How are you so sure?”

“Instincts!”

Instincts like these were really scary. Ai Bo looked at Meng Qi and felt really strange deep down.

Why is he always so mysterious? Yet, he is always right.

Instincts?

Is it really so simple? Just instincts?

Ai Bo looked at Meng Qi. Yet, Meng Qi shut his eyes.

…

Just as Meng Qi had imagined.

Silence for the entire day!

They could not even hear any other sound in the woods other than that from the wind.

It was so quiet they could not hear any other thing.

No one was walking around either.

Monica and Maxi could only see a small team moving around. The team was really weird. After hiding, they did not move anymore. They did not even make a single sound. That was really strange.

“What are they doing?”

“Waiting to pounce on the prey.”

Shen Qianshu woke up feeling much better. She looked more energized too and not so beaten down. Yet, she felt insecure. Did they really intend to hide there and wait until her team loses all resources?

Monica said, “This is too strange.”

“Right,” Maxi said. “I feel like I can hear Black Rose’s penalty system coming, and it’s a very scary one.”

Just by the incident of the exploded lady, they knew that it was really really scary.

“How long can we last?”

“Check the supplies!”

Shen Qianshu nodded and took their bags. She checked. There was a lot of food available in the city, but they did not take a lot. They had quite a bit of compressed biscuits, chocolates, and some smaller dried fruits.

Shen Qianshu said, “Six packs of compressed biscuits, eleven pieces of chocolate, three packs of nuts, ten cans of canned food, ten nutrition bars, and four bottles of water.”

They did not have a lot of food, but it was definitely enough for days. The most troubling thing was water.

They did not have enough water.

Water took up a lot of space, and it was heavy as well. They left too much space for bullets, so they did not prepare much water. Neither did they think that the opposition would use such a tactic. Under such circumstances, the lack of water became their main issue.

Monica said, “We won’t last a week.”

If they wanted to get water, they had to find a way to leave the cave. There were two water sources here, and someone must be there already. They must be waiting to ambush them by the water sources. If they went over, they were sending themselves to death.

Even if they were quick and agile or extremely careful, they could not avoid it.

They could not go to the water sources.

Shen Qianshu said, “We can only pray for rain.”

If it rained, they could survive for a longer time.

One day and one night had passed. There were no signs of rain.

It was dark again.

Shen Qianshu, Maxi, and Monica took turns sleeping. Every time, one person guarded the night. If anything was amiss at all, they would know. Shen Qianshu was woken up at 4 am.

It was a time when everyone was the most exhausted.

She lay before the sniper and aimed into the woods.

Complete darkness.

It was really dark all around. Nothing could be seen.

Her eyelids were fighting internally.

Suddenly, there was a glimpse of light from nearby. Shen Qianshu squinted and put on her night vision glasses. Through the sniper scope, she could see a team descending the mountain and going somewhere.
