76 SCREAM OUT IN HORROR

Zhong Feng felt fear and hope in his heart when he heard that sound. His long legs hurried behind the armed soldiers anxiously though he still looked calm. He was afraid that she would be here in this cold empty place, but he was even more terrified that she would not be there. He calmed his heart and mind. Nothing else mattered as long as she was alive. If she was not here, he would keep searching and waiting.

"Clear the way." The commander who was walking with Zhong Feng shouted to the group ahead of them.

The soldiers in front moved to the sides of the corridor, allowing him and Zhong Feng to walk straight to the cell. Inside, there was a woman seated on a narrow bed. Unless she was deaf, she must have heard the commotion. However, her head remained lowered as if she was still in the darkness.
