Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 88: Chapter 088: Visiting the Disaster Area Personally Due to Concerns

How could Su Shu appear in the disaster area, on TV?

Shen Han stared at the familiar figure on the screen, and when he confirmed that the person inside was Su Shu, his entire demeanor suddenly changed drastically.

He had been standing behind the sofa for some time when Shen’s father glanced back at him and turned around, thinking he was lingering because of the distressing news report, and couldn’t help but say.

“Do you also find it quite upsetting?”

Shen Han’s fingers gripping the documents tightened involuntarily, his dark pupils dimmed, he murmured a low affirmation, and then turned and strode out.

She vanished without a word, not only did she not tell him, but she also headed to the disaster area. Fine, well done, Su Shu, avoiding him and heading to the neighboring province.

All the time outside his day-to-day work, he spent searching for news about her. Seated in the back of the car, Shen Han’s gloomy gaze turned towards the car window, a fire smoldering in his eyes.

On the radio, they were continuously broadcasting the situation at the disaster front, and as he saw her again on TV, her face gray and dull, his heart clenched fiercely.

Unable to help it, he cursed low and furiously inside the car.

“Damn it!”

The driver’s hands shook at the wheel, his face tense: “President Shen?”

Shen Han said, “It’s nothing, keep driving.”

“Yes.”

The driver breathed a sigh of relief inwardly; it was a good thing he wasn’t the one being cursed at.

Twenty minutes later, an SUV followed and parked steadily beside them. Shen Han got out of the car, turned, and got into the SUV behind. A capable secretary stood by the door, slightly worried.

“President, the roads to the neighboring province are too dangerous. Let me accompany you.”

“No need,” Shen Han rejected coldly.

Taking the keys and starting the car on his own, he wanted to see for himself just how reckless she could be. A good home wasn’t enough for her, she had to run to a disaster area as if her life was worth nothing?

“According to your instructions, the emergency supplies have been readied in the back, awaiting your orders.”

“Good.”

With that single syllable, the car sped off like a shot.

Shen Han couldn’t understand why, upon seeing her in the disaster area, he would abandon important company negotiations and stubbornly go looking for her. By the time he realized what he was doing, his car was already racing along the highway.

Along the road, one could occasionally see rescue materials being transported to the disaster area. He had no interest in those; his sole focus was to reach Peng Village, as mentioned on TV, as quickly as possible.

The search and rescue team moved into the mountains in single file along the narrow mountain path.

For safety, everyone stayed close together, with the village leader guiding the warriors behind him, rushing against the clock.

Carrying a climbing backpack, Su Shu, to Group Captain Zhao’s surprise, not only did not slow down due to the weight but also moved at a pace on par with these men. Initially worried Group Captain Zhao eventually stopped concerning himself.

After the earthquake, many original paths in the mountains were covered by fallen and uprooted trees, and some areas required careful navigation to proceed.

Moreover, due to the sudden disaster, the wild beasts and poisonous insects in the woods were all startled, necessitating extreme caution while walking.

Among the accompanying party was a military doctor with extensive experience in wartime emergency medical care, to ensure that if any villagers were found with severe injuries, they could be treated on the spot without delay.

Su Shu walked with her head down, her mind, her heart, consumed with thoughts of Tang Zelin’s safety.

She no longer considered how he could have ended up in Peng Village; all she wanted to know now was whether he was safe and uninjured.
