Chapter 340 (Chapter Match)

Seeing that the raft had slowly drifted up to her and was about to drift forward again, Lingye thought for a moment and then took out a rope from the bag at her waist.

The rope seemed to come alive in his hands. He skillfully tied one end of the rope to the raft, and then quickly wrapped the other end tightly around a protruding pillar on the shore.

As the rope was pulled taut, the raft seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible hand, finally stopping its drifting and coming to a steady stop on the shore.

Seeing this, Ling Ye finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, but he did not let his guard down. He knew all too well that the raft was extremely unstable, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a tragic capsizing.

So he carefully stepped onto the raft, each step taken with extreme caution, as if he were standing not on a raft, but on a bomb about to explode.

When his feet were fully on the raft, he clearly felt the raft suddenly sink, as if it might sink into the water at any moment.

Ling Ye's heart was pounding in his throat. He gripped the edge of the raft tightly, afraid that he would cause it to capsize.

Fortunately, the raft did not sink as he had feared.

Perhaps because the plastic buckets had enough buoyancy, the raft stubbornly floated on the water even after Lingye's entire weight was on top of it.

Lingye walked cautiously, the glow stick in his hand emitting a faint light that illuminated the ground of the raft ahead. His eyes were fixed on the figure lying on the ground, his heart filled with vigilance.

As he approached the figure, his brow furrowed when he saw the face clearly. He was surprised to discover that the person who had fainted was none other than Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue lay there quietly, her once fair face now covered with dust and tiny scratches, looking rather disheveled.

Her hair was no longer as smooth and neat as usual, but was messy and scattered, as if she had gone through a fierce struggle.

Lingye's gaze fell on her face, where she was as pale as paper, her eyes tightly closed, lifeless. Even her once pink lips had lost all color and turned deathly pale.

However, despite Lin Xiyue's terrible appearance, her clothes remained clean and tidy. This was likely because her clothes were made of a special material that didn't easily attract stains.

This outfit is truly unique.

Its main body is like a bodysuit, perfectly outlining Lin Xiyue's graceful figure, as if it were tailor-made for her.

The clothes are entirely silver-white, giving off a cold and mysterious feeling, while also exuding a high-tech vibe.

Even more astonishing is that the surface of the clothing is covered with patterns that resemble circuits. These patterns are smooth and intricate, as if they are composed of countless tiny electronic components.

Moreover, these patterns occasionally shimmer with a platinum-gold light, as if electricity were flowing through them, making the whole garment look more vivid and vibrant.

On both sides of the garment, there is a gold ribbon that starts at the neck, extends to the ankle, and then cleverly disappears into the shoes.

This golden ribbon not only serves a decorative purpose, but also acts as an energy transmission channel connecting various parts of the body, adding a touch of science fiction to the overall design.

The design of the shoes complements the clothes perfectly, with silver-white as the main color and white gold as an embellishment. The similar circuit patterns on the clothes make the whole outfit look more harmonious and unified.

This combination evokes images of futuristic technological warriors, a perfect blend of fashion and technology.

Ling Ye stared intently at Lin Xiyue's bloodless face, a surge of anxiety rising within him. His brows furrowed so deeply they seemed capable of trapping a fly.

"Tell me the details of how you met her."

Lingye's voice revealed a hint of urgency, and his gaze was piercing as it fell directly on Guaiguai.

Guai Guai sensed Ling Ye's seriousness, quickly squatted down, and nodded gently to Ling Ye like an obedient dog, before beginning to recount how it met Lin Xiyue.

“I remember when I woke up again, I was surrounded by darkness and my body was confined to a small space. I was horrified to find myself locked in a cage, and my owner was nowhere to be found. I screamed and struggled desperately, but the cage did not budge.”

“I wanted to escape this terrible place, but when I tried to break through the cage bars with all my might, I found that no matter how hard I tried, the cage was as solid as a rock, and I could not get out.”

"Then, as the days went by, I gave up. After that, every day someone would bring me food and water through a small window in the door, but they never talked to me or let me out. I could only watch them silently as they went about their business outside."

"During this time, they also prepared a small TV for me, which played various sounds and images, seemingly teaching me to speak. Although I didn't understand their purpose, I still tried hard to learn what was on the TV, hoping that one day I could communicate with them and ask them where my owner was."

Whenever she recalls those days of imprisonment, Guai Guai's expression turns terrified.

It was an experience filled with fear and despair, one that still haunts her to this day.

"After that, time seemed to become blurry, and I don't know how much time passed. Just today, without any warning, this beautiful woman appeared in front of me like an angel descending."

"She was agile and easily knocked down all the people who were holding me. Then she saw me and paused for a moment. After seeing something, she quickly walked up to me, hugged me tightly, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. At the same time, she mumbled a lot of words that I couldn't understand at all."

"However, even though I didn't understand what she was saying, I could feel her concern and heartache for me from her hug and tears."

Although the description is simple, it is enough to make people imagine the scene at that time.

From her words, Lingye gradually pieced together what had happened—it was clear that Lin Xiyue had discovered the place and successfully rescued Guai Guai.

"And then? Don't rush, just tell me slowly. If you feel more comfortable talking while eating, that's perfectly fine too."

After finding Lin Xiyue, Lingye felt much more at ease, so she gently comforted Guaiguai and took out some dry food she carried with her from her bosom, handing it to her.

"OK, all right."

With the comfort of food, Guai Guai's mood was noticeably more relaxed.

She took the dry rations, ate them happily, and then continued to recount what happened next.
