Zhang Liangbin carried Aivina on his back, running at full speed for nearly an hour before finally catching up with Aikun'er and her group, who had left earlier. Only then did Zhang Liangbin set Aivina down on the ground and collapse beside her. It was hard to imagine the kind of endurance it took for him to maintain such speed without anyone else to take over; he was afraid that handing her off would waste time and potentially cause Aivina further harm.
Aikun'er looked at her mother in this state and felt a surge of emotions. If this had happened before, she would have been at a loss, crying uncontrollably. But now, not a single tear fell from her eyes. She understood that crying would do no good; the most important thing was to get her mother to the North as quickly as possible to find Wang Chao. He was so capable; he would surely be able to save her mother!
With that thought in mind, Aikun'er took a deep breath, grasped her mother's hand, and spoke quickly and calmly, "You all go find a boat. We need to cross the river quickly and head north. Hurry!" The others nodded and set off to look for a suitable boat that could travel long distances on the river. Aikun'er continued, "While they search for a boat, you all check the nearby houses for any useful medicines, like painkillers!" They nodded again and hurried away.
"The rest of you stay alert around here; we must ensure there are no dangers!" Aikun'er instructed. "Once we cross the river, find some cars. We need to drive north until we reach a Safe Zone! At that point, I will find a way to contact Wang Chao!" After saying this, Aikun'er slowly closed her eyes, holding tightly onto her mother's hand while silently praying.
The members of the Black Clothes Society were astonished by Aikun'er's rapid transformation. Indeed, disaster could make a person strong almost instantly. Although it was a sad reality, it was still true; the current Aikun'er was far from the helpless girl she used to be—she appeared remarkably mature and decisive. Following Aikuner's instructions, they quickly found a boat, but unfortunately, they could not locate any medicines.
Aivina's breathing was faint, seemingly on the verge of stopping at any moment. The group boarded the boat and drove north until they reached the nearest Safe Zone in the North—a medium-sized one known as Central North Safe Zone—home to just over two hundred thousand people. Compared to the larger Safe Zones with hundreds of thousands or even millions in the capital city, this one felt insignificant.
At that moment, Aikun'er and her companions stood at the gates of Central North Safe Zone. The soldiers atop the high walls looked down at their convoy and asked, "Who are you?"
Aikun'er jumped out of the vehicle and shouted up at one of the soldiers, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight!"
The soldier had been indifferent until he heard those words; his spirit immediately lifted. This phrase had been issued by Wang Chao when he returned months ago—it was a signal for every Safe Zone, big or small. Anyone who heard it was to call Wang Chao directly! The soldier didn’t have Wang Chao’s number but quickly turned to another soldier beside him and said, "Open the city gates! Let them in! I’ll report to the captain!"
Without wasting any time, he rushed downstairs toward his captain's office in Guard headquarters. Upon hearing what the soldier said, the squad leader wasted no time either; he immediately contacted his superior in the military district—a former subordinate of Liu Jie—who had been assigned as the commander of this guard unit. He knew better than to delay when it came to Wang Chao’s orders and hurriedly called Wang Chao.
Meanwhile, Wang Chao was still in the capital city where dawn had just broken. He had only just fallen asleep amidst the lingering festive atmosphere of New Year celebrations when his phone rang: "Commander, someone from the South has arrived! They’re currently in our Safe Zone—the Central North Safe Zone!"
"Oh?" Wang Chao hadn’t expected Aikun'er would come looking for him so soon after just a few months. It seemed that the South had been completely unified by now; only then could Aivina allow Aikun'er to come here. Wang Chao replied, "I see. Have her call me!"
"Okay, please hold on!" A voice came from the other end. After a few minutes, Aikun'er’s voice appeared in the receiver. Just as Wang Chao was about to speak, he heard Aikun'er say, "Brother Wang Chao, listen to me. My mom is seriously injured and could die at any moment. I don’t know what to do; I can only turn to you!"
As she spoke, tears were already welling up in Aikun'er's eyes.
"What?" Wang Chao sat up straight in bed. Yang Mengying, sitting nearby, looked at Wang Chao's sudden reaction, confused about what was happening.
Wang Chao slapped his forehead, trying to keep himself clear-headed. Then he said, "I’m going to ask you a few questions. Just answer yes or no!"
"Understood!" Aikun'er replied.
"Is Aivina's injury very serious?" Wang Chao asked.
"Yes!" Aikun'er answered.
Wang Chao continued, "Are you currently in the Central North Safe Zone?"
"Yes!" Aikun'er said again.
Wang Chao instructed, "Alright, now hand the phone to the person next to you. If you trust me, follow his instructions; your mom will be fine!"
"I believe you!" Aikun'er said.
With that, Aikun'er handed the phone to the soldier beside her. The soldier took the phone, and without wasting time, Wang Chao said directly, "I am Wang Chao. You should know what to do now. First, arrange for several of the fastest cars for those coming from the south. Then find some of the top doctors from the Central North Safe Zone to accompany the convoy. There is someone seriously injured who needs special care. The convoy must head directly to Jing City as fast as possible. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" replied the Military District Commander of the Central North Safe Zone. He quickly and efficiently began carrying out Wang Chao's orders.
At that moment, Wang Chao called the Jing City Safe Zone again, instructing Gao Rui to prepare in advance. A top-tier biologist and doctors like Yang Mengying's parents would surely be able to save Aivina. Wang Chao then shared this news with everyone in the Imperial Capital. Amidst the vibrant New Year atmosphere, Wang Chao, Shen Zhitao, Yang Mengying, and Xiaowei Yiyi drove towards Jing City, the sound of firecrackers still ringing in the air.
In the car, Wang Chao finally revealed to everyone what had happened in the south.
