Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2719: Chapter 2655: To Drink or Not to Drink the Poison

At that moment, a team of enemies appeared, launching a fierce assault with full firepower.

If it weren’t for their strong skills, they would have become corpses by now.

This was when Meng Xinian realized something was off.

However, he still dared not entertain that thought.

It wasn’t that he was naive; rather, he always believed there was a certain line not to be crossed, whether at home or abroad, and those fights shouldn’t involve outsiders or enemies.

Precisely because he held onto this belief, he couldn’t bring himself to think it was a conspiracy against him.

He also hadn’t expected Wei Yixi to follow along.

Outside, the enemies were still searching for them.

They hadn’t had a sip of water or a bite to eat for a whole day and night.

Continuing like this was extremely unfavorable for them.

However, this area was one neither the allies nor the Ke Ku Li enemies dared to enter lightly, with the enemies constantly pressing this zone, preventing their advance.

Wei Jingxi chuckled bitterly.

”Just consider my curiosity, wanting to see how fierce you really get in a fight against enemies.”

”So have you seen clearly after a day and night? Do you admit your inferiority?”

”Heh.”

Wei Yixi responded with a simple laugh.

But internally, he admired Meng Xinian. Several times, he thought they wouldn’t escape under such dense gunfire, yet Meng Xinian managed to break through with him.

Moreover, their bullets were long gone, and Meng Xinian grabbed two guns, allowing them to hide here for a brief respite.

Hunger was one thing; thirst was the major issue.

The smoky battlefield, with various odors and dust, made them even thirstier.

Now, their throats were hoarse, and lips on the verge of cracking.

Last night, they thought it was a good time to break through, but ultimately they failed, unable to exit the conflict zone. Now, with the dawn breaking, if they don’t escape within an hour, their chances diminish further as daylight sets in.

Because the enemies had discovered their identities.

The enemy leader was a madman who didn’t care where they came from, only upon hearing of their skills, crazily swore that they must die here.

After a whole night of battling, both sides were exhausted; once the enemies recuperated, with food and drink available, their energy would naturally recover better. So, with daylight, if Cooke showed up again, their demise was almost certain.

”Alright, rested enough? If so, get up and prepare to break through.” Meng Xinian stood up, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small bottle.

The bottle was perhaps only as thick as one of their fingers, half as high.

Wei Yixi raised an eyebrow: ”What’s that?”

”Poison, want a drink?” Meng Xinian said as he opened the cap, poured half into his mouth, and handed it to him.

It wasn’t much to drink, right?

What is this?

Wei Yixi took it and drank the remaining water.

Truly just a sip. A tiny, tiny sip that wet the throat, barely swallowing a trace.

”Is this water?”

Yes, very sweet water?

Sugar water?

But he had never tasted sugar water that sweet; this subtle sweetness was different from regular sugar sweetness.

One could say he had never tasted such delicious water.

”I already said it’s poison.”
