Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 278 This can be considered living and dying together, right?

"Sissi? Sissi!"

Gu Bei shook Liu Yifei, bringing her back to her senses. "How are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, indicating that she was fine: "I was just a little scared."

Anyone whose car has been overturned by an elephant will find it hard to calm down for a while.

"It's good that you're alright, we're in trouble!"

Gu Bei first lifted Liu Yifei off the ground, then grabbed the railing of the jeep and climbed over the overturned vehicle.

He stood on the vast grassland, the grass beneath his feet withered and yellow, nearing the end of its life cycle.

He looked around.
Gu Bei discovered the trouble he had mentioned on a small earthen slope.
It was the hyena, the second oldest African dog that had been following them all along.

Hyenas are known as the second-largest breed in Africa because they dare to compete with lion prides, even holding their own, thanks to their numerical advantage.

However, whether it's the eldest or the second eldest African nation, their natural enemy is humankind.

They generally won't target humans unless they're starving, especially since it's daytime now.

But this group of hyenas has been following them for so long, they are definitely not afraid of humans. The reason they haven't attacked yet is simply that they are waiting for their main force to catch up.

Fortunately, even now that ecotourism is being promoted,
But the jeep still had enough shotguns and ammunition.

They now have three hunters, so they're not afraid of facing a pack of hyenas!

"Gu Bei!"

Following Gu Bei's gaze, Liu Yifei also saw the hyenas on the hillside.

The instant she locked eyes with the hyena, she felt a chill run through her body, as helpless as prey being hunted.

At that moment, she understood why the system had issued missions that required a life-or-death situation.

They even tried to prematurely grant her perfect running skills, letting her run as far as she could, regardless of whether she would survive.

After a pause, she calmed herself down a bit and grabbed Gu Bei's hand: "Let's quickly call the two guides and run!"

"Can't run away!"

While flipping the jeep, Gu Bei calmly replied, "A hyena's speed is almost twice that of a human sprinting 100 meters, and its specialty is attacking from behind."
The moment we turn around, it will launch an attack!

Hearing Gu Bei's calm voice, Liu Yifei felt a little more at ease: "What do you need to do? I'll help you!"

"Did you see my technique? I loaded all these magazines full of bullets."

Gu Bei removed the magazines from the spare guns and used them as spare magazines, then had Liu Yifei load all of them with bullets for later use.

Although the Jeep had a modified AK47 riot gun, this gun was too inaccurate at long range.

Gu Bei still chose a .375 caliber hunting rifle, which is highly accurate and has controllable recoil, and is specifically designed for hunting large predators such as African lions and buffalo.

at this time,

With his head covered in blood, driver Allen crawled out of the jeep.
He looked at Gu Bei and Liu Yifei's actions with some alarm: "Mr. Gu, put that thing down quickly! I've already contacted the camp, and the helicopter will be here within fifteen minutes!"

"I think...we can't wait that long!"

Gu Bei raised his hunting rifle and fired a shot at the hyena on the small hill.

"boom!"

Under the enormous sound,
The hyena that had been staring at them fell to the ground with a thud.

"F*ck! James is unconscious, Mr. Gu. Now it's just the two of us." The driver, Allen, also realized the crisis and quickly threw away the bear-proof gun in his hand, replacing it with a more powerful hunting rifle.

"Hopefully, this group won't be too large!"

Gu Bei frowned. With three hunters reduced to two, the level of danger had increased significantly.

Fortunately, they had a jeep that could be overturned to provide a safe 180-degree angle, which gave them a significant advantage in dealing with hyenas.

"Gu Bei, are we not going to die here?"

Upon hearing this news, Liu Yifei felt a pang of panic.

She's only twenty years old... no, she just turned twenty-one today!
Life is just beginning to unfold.

I just experienced a relationship where I was completely immersed in it.

He hasn't won any major awards.
I haven't tried married life or having children yet.
I have never witnessed a lifetime of growing old together.

It would be truly unbearable to let her stop at this moment!
The system tells me I'm 38 years old, I definitely won't die here, I definitely won't!

"Not born on the same day, month, and year, but dying on the same day, month, and year—isn't that romantic?"

Gu Bei wasn't entirely sure himself, but it was precisely at times like these that he needed to pull his mind away from his emotions, and he even managed to crack a joke.

"Gu! Bei!"

Liu Yifei stomped her foot, her voice trembling with tears.

What kind of time is this to be joking?

but,

As long as I can hear Gu Bei's voice
Liu Yifei felt her wildly beating heart finally calm down.

"There are quite a few, at least twenty or so, and possibly more than thirty." Gu Bei saw a hyena approaching a dead hyena on a small hill.

“Let’s fire some shots to scare them away!” suggested the driver, Allen.

"can!"

Gu Bei pulled Liu Yifei behind him.
Then, together with driver Allen, they fired at the hyenas that were closing in.
However, the results were minimal; once a hyena pack has locked onto a target, it won't give up so easily.

suddenly,

Gu Bei spotted the largest female hyena: "I've found the hyena queen!"

Hyenas live in a matriarchal society, where females are larger than males.
The eldest hyena queen holds supreme power over the entire hyena pack.
To catch the thief, first catch the king.
It would still be useful in the animal kingdom!

"boom!"

The first shot missed, hitting the mud next to it.

The hyena queen, who was directing her pack's attack, froze, immediately sensing the danger, and began to lower her tail and flee.

"boom!"

The second shot struck the running hyena queen squarely in the spine.

The momentum carried the hyena queen's corpse forward, and it soon collapsed to the ground, almost blending into the withered earth.

After their leader died, the hyena pack immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

The dozen or so hyena carcasses left on the ground attracted several vultures, which were circling in the sky, some of them too afraid to come down.

"Gu Bei, they got away!" Liu Yifei grabbed Gu Bei's clothes, her face beaming with relief, and shouted excitedly, "We survived!"

Gu Bei nodded without saying a word.
He simply reached out and patted Liu Yifei's head.

His body trembled slightly; he felt a little cold after the adrenaline subsided.

After a while,
The hum of helicopters filled the sky.

The vultures were scared away, leaving only humans in the area.

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei boarded the helicopter, while the others dragged the guide James out of the jeep. The two guides were seriously injured, but thankfully their lives were not in danger.

However, after Gu Bei returned to North America...

His lawyer will cause trouble for the two of them and the hotel.

"Mr. Gu, thank you so much this time! You saved both of our lives!" The driver, Allen, was moved to tears.

Gu Bei simply nodded, not wanting to say anything.

"Mr. Gu, you must hunt often, right?"

"That was incredibly accurate! At least a dozen hyenas died, all within fifty meters of him. Allen doesn't have that kind of marksmanship!"

"If it were the old Safari, with Gu Bei's skills, he could definitely have hunted the Big Five of Africa!"

The others, having also heard about the recent experience, couldn't help but praise it as well.

This experience will become a legendary topic of conversation among them, and will continue to circulate in the luxury campsite, provided that it is not sued into bankruptcy by Gu Bei's lawyer.

Just as everyone was chatting, the helicopter pilot suddenly said, "We've spotted signs of the Great Migration. Would you like to stay and watch?"

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei looked out of the helicopter.

A boiling black river could be seen flowing from one end of the horizon to the other.
If you look closely, you can distinguish the wildebeest's dark brown back and the zebra's black and white stripes, which, combined with the withered yellow ground, create a breathtaking scene.

As the migrating animals drew closer, their sounds even reached the sky, causing a slight vibration to emanate from the helicopter.

The sounds of these animals' hooves converged into a deep, resonant drumbeat, possessing a primal vitality, like the pulse of the earth.

Looking at this scene,
Gu Bei could understand.

Why do so many people include the Great Migration of East Africa on their bucket list?
This primal vitality can probably only be felt on this land, and it even gave Gu Bei a new understanding of gravity, which also has life as its central theme.

Liu Yifei also watched this scene, slowly emerging from that life-or-death moment.

She suddenly felt a conflict within herself.
He called out to Gu Bei:
"Gu Bei!"

Gu Bei turned around and found Liu Yifei staring intently at him.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the helicopter, he pounced on her and passionately kissed her lips.

That's incredibly bold!
Gu Bei was slightly startled.

He knew that Liu Yifei was always quite shy.
They don't like to show affection in front of others.

Not to mention kissing so passionately with strangers.

But thinking about what just happened,

Everything seemed to make some sense again.
After all, having faced life and death, there are too many complicated emotions to process, and this is also a way to vent them.

"Well!"

Hearing the breathy sounds emanating from Liu Yifei's throat, Gu Bei also began to respond to Liu Yifei enthusiastically.

At this moment, however, he noticed that Liu Yifei was unusually wild today.
She kissed him passionately, then playfully bit his lip.
A trickle of blood spread between their teeth, causing Gu Bei a slight stinging sensation.

There was no bloodshed when we fought the hyenas.

Now you're bleeding instead?
Liu Yifei, you've gone too far!
Gu Bei scooped up Liu Yifei and placed her on his lap.

He began to regain the initiative.

They will gradually reclaim the ground they lost by indulging Liu Yifei.

Gu Bei only let her go after Liu Yifei gently patted his shoulder.

"call--"

After they separated, Liu Yifei's face was flushed. She immediately took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, clearly recovering from the lack of oxygen.

Liu Yifei glanced at the people in the helicopter and muttered under her breath, "That's going too far!"

then,

Only then did she have the mind to look at the scene below the helicopter again.
I pressed my face against the helicopter window, as if trying to etch this spectacular scene into my mind.

"Mr. Gu, we should head back now."

The helicopter pilot hesitated for a long time, constrained by the fuel tank capacity.
The only option was to temporarily send Gu Bei and Liu Yifei back to the luxury campsite.

After dinner,
Gu Bei quickly washed up and took out his laptop.
After the life-or-death experience that afternoon, he gained a new understanding of the theme of gravity and needed to make some simple revisions to the original shooting plan.

Liu Yifei, who was in her own room, had just finished taking a shower.

She stepped out of the bathroom and into the room wearing only a bath towel, her beautiful feet still wet.

Oh no! I forgot to wear my shoes!

Liu Yifei raised her wrist, tapped her head, and quickly went back to put on her slippers.

Subsequently,

She sat down on the sofa, holding her phone.

Originally, Liu Yifei wanted to let Liu Xiaoli know that she was safe.

But she was momentarily distracted, realizing that if she told Liu Xiaoli about this, Liu Xiaoli would probably worry for a long time.

"Never mind! I'll tell Mom when we get back!"

Liu Yifei put down her phone.
She recalled that life-or-death moment that afternoon and was still somewhat frightened.

After all, if she really died, she would never see her mother, father, grandmother, and all the other people who cared for and loved her again.

However, amidst her lingering fear, Liu Yifei thought of Gu Bei from that time.

She stood right behind Gu Bei, looking at his profile, listening to the gunshots ringing out one after another, and smelling the gunpowder in her nostrils.

Thinking of this, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on the corners of her lips.

"Wouldn't this count as sharing life and death?"

Liu Yifei patted her cheek, feeling a bit hot.

She tiptoed,

He jogged to the front of the full-length mirror.

A young girl, fresh from her bath, stood gracefully in front of the mirror.

A blush crept across her fair cheeks, and her eyes held an indescribable shyness.

This confirmed her earlier guess; it seemed she really was...

"I made a decision!"

A surge of impulse welled up inside Liu Yifei, and she made up her mind.

She rummaged through the liquor cabinet in the room.
I found a bottle of tequila and poured myself a glass.

Tequila is a type of spirit, but its alcohol content isn't particularly high, making it perfect for boosting courage without causing you to lose consciousness.

"Gulu! Guru!"

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, then picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The pale amber liquid flowed down her fair cheeks, dripping onto her collarbone like dewdrops on a lily.

She took several deep breaths before dialing Gu Bei's number.

"Hey?"

Hearing Gu Bei's voice on the phone,

Liu Yifei almost hung up the phone.
But she managed to suppress her impulse.
Her voice trembled as she asked, "Gu Bei, can you come to my room?"
