When Mud exerted all his strength and shouted hoarsely, his desperate yet resolute cry filled the air: "I'm here, Sis! I'm here!" This faint but full of will to survive voice, like a beacon in the desert, instantly caught the attention of Ah Mao and the dogs. Their bodies, originally wandering around, suddenly stopped, their keen ears perked up, and then they let out a series of excited and continuous barks towards the source of the sound, as if responding to Mud's call for help and guiding Vivian to come to the rescue.
Vivian immediately noticed this change, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, which then transformed into the power of action. She began to dig quickly in the rubble, each movement filled with urgency and determination. As the digging went deeper, the severely cracked and almost deformed Soil Shield was soon exposed. Vivian's movements became even faster, her hands almost turning into excavators, and the hard rubble seemed to offer no resistance in her hands.
At this moment, a kind of determination and bravery reminiscent of a mother lion saving her cubs appeared on Vivian's face, and every time she dug, it was filled with strength and hope. Ah Mao and the dogs surrounded her, their barking seemed to be cheering for Vivian and praying for Mud. The dogs' eyes were full of anxiety and anticipation, encouraging each other and silently supporting every effort of Vivian.
Vivian's voice thundered through the thick dust and chaos, reaching Mud's ears, "Mud! Release the shield! Let us save you!" Her words were filled with urgency and concern, her eyes firmly fixed on the crumbling Soil Shield, hoping that Mud could hear her call, let go of the last defense, and accept the helping hand from her companions.
However, Jack proposed another solution calmly to Vivian: "No need, let me handle it." As he said this, Jack raised his hands and concentrated all his mental strength. At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a faint light began to emanate from the Soil Shield where Mud was located. Then, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes - Mud gradually floated up from the rubble, as if being lifted by an invisible force, until completely freed from the cage under the debris.
Guided by this invisible force, Mud slowly flew towards the ground and finally landed gently. Amidst the swirling dust, Mud reappeared before everyone, covered in dust but unharmed. Vivian, Jack, Ah Mao, and all the dogs instantly breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing genuine joy.
Mud looked at Jack and Vivian in confusion, not understanding what was happening. His body was exhausted, every breath a struggle against an invisible weight. His voice weak, Mud spoke with great difficulty, "Sister... what is this? Why is this guy..." His gaze wandered between Jack and Vivian, seeking answers.
Vivian helped Mud to the wall, letting him rest against it. Her expression was calm, but her eyes held an unprecedented seriousness. She explained calmly, "The situation has changed... the enemy of our enemy is our friend." Her words, short but meaningful, made Mud realize the severity and unusualness of the situation amidst his confusion.
At this moment, Mud realized that the battle for survival after the disaster was far more complex than he had imagined. His gaze lingered on Jack for a moment, then turned to Vivian, the silent trust and reliance stronger than any words.
Mud's mental state gradually began to recover a bit after escaping from that dangerous situation. However, the immense fatigue and pressure seemed to find an outlet at this moment, erupting and making him feel an unprecedented exhaustion. His eyelids were heavy as if carrying a heavy load, and in a voice filled with irresistible fatigue, he said, "Sis... I'm so tired... I need to rest for a while... Let's talk about the situation later..."
As soon as the words fell, Mud could no longer support himself, lowered his head, and lost all strength in his body, completely passing out. His breathing was steady, as if he had finally found the long-lost peace in this moment. Vivian and Jack exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry and sympathy in each other's eyes. Jack gently moved Mud to a more comfortable position, ensuring that he could have the best recovery during this brief rest. The surrounding world seemed to have temporarily quieted down, providing Mud with a peaceful environment for recovery.
Seeing her two subordinates, Mud and Chuchan, temporarily safe and sound, the tense expression on Vivian's face finally relaxed. She turned to Jack with a rare softness in her eyes and said deeply, "Thank you, no matter what." Her voice was low but full of sincerity.
Jack shook his head lightly and responded with an attitude that seemed to treat everything that happened today as ordinary, saying, "It's nothing... just a small effort." His voice was calm, as if this series of rescues and assistance were really just a minor matter to him.
Afterwards, the two of them slowly walked to a bench by the pool and sat down. The surrounding environment gradually quieted down, with only the sound of water in the pool, seemingly drawing a peaceful conclusion to this tense day. They sat there, silent, but within this silence, there was an indescribable understanding and resonance, as if at this moment, all grievances and enmities were temporarily set aside, leaving only the subtle connection born from their shared experiences.
