C40

Qian Li did not rest for long. After some time had passed, she picked up her backpack and pinned it to her body. Then, she quietly took advantage of the darkness of the night to leave.

Gong Ming only said that from today onwards, there would be no set time limit.

Getting out of this place was already very difficult, and to find out where he was would be a waste of time. Thus, at this moment, her time was extremely valuable.

They would get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Perhaps they were all thinking that this time wouldn't happen, so they didn't go to the designated place.

Qian Li was embarrassed, but not embarrassed.

She calmly hid to the side and waited for them to finish their business before silently walking out.

There had been no hindrance in the camp, but the gate was a matter of concern.

Qian Li had studied maps before. Furthermore, she had to pass through this place on an average of once a day. She was already familiar with the buildings and the people with the handles.

There were a total of ten of them. Five people in a wave.

Counting the time, they practically all changed shifts at the same time every day. But now, Qian Li took a look, the ugly time was almost here.

This was also the time when people were most likely to be tired.

She hid in the dark, minimizing all sound. For safety's sake, her breathing had even become incredibly light.

Five people. In truth, this door was not big at all, and was not even as big as the door he used to use for Prime Minister Mansion.

However, such a small place like this actually had five people guarding it. It seemed to be a little too crowded.

Qian Li noticed that there were two in front, two behind and one above the door. It seemed that there was a intentionally made space when they were building that door. In short, it made no difference to be by her side.

Qian Li smirked. Although the door was small, and there was a design problem, in her opinion, it had a very big flaw. That was, as long as he was at the innermost area, the man at the top wouldn't be able to see the four men at his feet.

As for the four people below, they also had a small wall beside them. That was something they could rely on when they were too sleepy during night watch. Even worse, as long as the other person leaned in, they wouldn't be able to see the situation of the person on the other side.

Moreover. Qian Li had also discovered something that was very beneficial to him.

It was said that there were a few people who wanted to escape before because they couldn't take the training. However, after failing to succeed, they were dissected to the point that not even their bones were left. Very few people had the intention to leave.

Thus, over time, although everyone still adhered to their duty, they still became a lot more relaxed.

Just like now, when it was supposed to be a person's sleeping time, Qian Li found that there were quite a few people yawning nonstop.

So, to a certain extent, this was basically creating an opportunity for Qian Li.

She approached him without a sound, making it so that the person didn't even have time to react before she covered his mouth and slit his throat.

Then, she hid that person's body before slowly walking towards the person opposite her …

It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in defeating these people, but she was worried that if others were to be alerted, she wouldn't be able to leave by then.

Using the same method, Qian Li quickly dealt with the four people below him.

Initially, she did not want to care about the one above. Firstly, he was already asleep, and secondly, her mobility was too low. Qian Li did not feel any sense of accomplishment.

However, just to be safe, he still felt that he should take care of that person.

Thus, Qian Li flew up into the air, her movements extremely quick and nimble. And then, before that person even opened her eyes, he was sent to the heavens.

After taking care of all these people, Qian Li did not stay any longer, but quickly ran forward.

She was too focused to notice the measuring gaze behind her.

No, perhaps there was a hint of nostalgia in that gaze.

Li Nian had originally planned to send Qian Li off the next day, but when he thought back to what Qian Li had said, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She had wanted to spend the night in Qian Li's courtyard like other men, to create the illusion that they had once accompanied each other. But from afar, she actually saw Qian Li sneakily leave with a bag and bag on her back.

He did not receive any news from the guards letting Qian Li go today, but he knew that Qian Li would definitely leave tomorrow. After hearing Qian Li say that she would never return, he faintly felt that Qian Li's mission was different from everyone's.

However, he didn't expect it to be like this …

Qian Li's figure gradually moved further and further away, and very quickly, she blended into the darkness, and gradually, she could no longer see anything.

Li Nian held onto his chest, suddenly feeling some pain.

The gaze behind her was filled with worry. It had been following her ever since she came out, but it never stopped her. It was not that Qian Li did not notice it, but because she knew who the owner of that gaze was, she did not wish to turn around.

There were some things that would not be good if they were exposed.

Whether it was to himself or to Li Nian.

And right now, she didn't have the time to waste on these things.

As for himself. In the end, he would not be Li Nian's good man. After he leaves, with the passage of time, Li Nian would eventually understand this logic.

However …

In the end, Qian Li still turned around, but that was after she could no longer see.

Not out of love, not out of pity, but out of gratitude.

I am grateful to the people here who have helped me in the open or in the dark, but I am sorry, but in the end, Qian Li is unable to repay your kindness.

Actually, it was not that Qian Li did not hear what she had said that day. It was precisely because she did not know how to face it after hearing it that she ran back into the house in such a hurry.

Everyone said she was cold. But no one saw how miserable her running steps were after hearing Li Nian say that he never treated them as his friends.

It wasn't that he wasn't a friend, but that he didn't dare to.

The current her had become as timid as a mouse. She even felt that all the beautiful things in the world no longer had anything to do with her.

She did her best to reject it, and she was also working hard to train herself to be a ruthless woman without blood or flesh.

She was a woman who had nothing but hatred in her heart.

Qian Li sighed, it was only when no one was around that she would dare to reveal her emotions, but she knew that to her, emotions couldn't be expressed at all times.

Then, she turned around and walked towards a fork in the road.

Not long after entering, Qian Li felt that she had completely fallen into a maze that would last forever. No matter how long she walked, no matter which path she took, she would eventually return to this place.

Who knew when this day would end.

Tired, she sat down cross-legged to rest.

However, he still carefully extinguished the fire piston in his hand.

It was said that these were all Li Nian's property, so she had to use them sparingly.

Qian Li rubbed her hands together and took out a water bag from his bag, but was only willing to take a sip.

Because she didn't know when she would be able to leave, she needed to prepare for the future.

After adjusting her breathing, she decided to take a break. When she first walked through this place, she didn't find any footprints or anyone else's traces. This meant that in addition to the continuous circling, it was also safe.

So... A safe place would require walking during the day.

She'd better make the best use of her time to rest.

When they found out that Qian Li was dead, they started panicking, but they did not find out who did it, and since Qian Li was not there, no one suspected her either, one of the reasons was because Li Nian said that would leave, so as a member of the base, it was normal for her to leave no matter what happened.

Secondly, Qian Li didn't have a motive to kill, and she was so powerful, to the point of defeating Li Nian. There was no need for assassination.
