The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

A night passes in a flash.

After finally having a good night's rest, Xu Yiyu and more than 9 companions from the treasure hunting team boarded a bus to Domiti Town at 5 a.m. local time on September 9.

Unlike her companions who were carrying large and small bags, Xu Yiyu only carried her own outdoor bag when she got on the bus. Neither the suitcase she brought to the hotel nor the souvenirs she bought in Borno appeared in her hands or on her back.

Tan Taihong, who had interrogated Gu Yue the night before, sat two rows behind Xu Yiyu.

She was somewhat curious about Xu Yiyu, who was traveling so simply. She wanted to go forward and ask what was going on, but Lin Yi, who had been silent all the time, grabbed her arm and stopped her from going forward.

"Old man Lin Yi, why are you stopping me?"

Honghong pouted in dissatisfaction. With her keen sixth sense, she was concerned about the large number of people around her, so she still lowered her voice.

“There are some things you don’t need to ask. Because even if you ask, you won’t get the answer you want.”

Lin Yi knew Tan Taihong's curious nature too well, and the hints and reminders in his words were quite obvious. Tan Taihong understood it as soon as he heard it.

Xu Yiyu has many secrets, and Lin Yi can see that she does not intend to make these secrets public, so he is happy to pretend not to see them.

"You mean..."

"Yes, it's just as you guessed."

Tan Tai Hong sat back in her seat and asked with her eyes wide open.

Of course Lin Yi understood what she wanted to ask, and immediately interrupted her before she could say anything.

"Alas... Old man Lin Yi, although I really like this sister, don't you think she has too many secrets? It's impossible to see what kind of person she is."

Lin Yi tilted his head to look at Tan Tai Hong, who had a somewhat aggrieved expression, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Her secrets have nothing to do with us, and will not harm our interests. Besides, after spending the past few days with her, apart from these secrets, don't you think she is already a pretty honest person?"

"...That's true. Apart from the secrets that shroud her like a fog, she is really a very good and interesting sister."

Lin Yi's words woke Tan Taihong up, and her curiosity was instantly dissipated.

She knew that she was precocious and that everyone in the treasure hunting team got along well with each other, but because of her curiosity, she ignored the "safe distance" that should be maintained between people.

Tan Taihong herself also had many secrets that she was absolutely unwilling to tell others. Xu Yiyu, who was much older than her, would naturally have more secrets.

Xu Yiyu, who was sitting in the front row of the bus with her outdoor bag placed on the seat next to her, had excellent hearing and naturally heard the conversation between Lin Yi and Tan Taihong, father and daughter.

She turned around, nodded to Lin Yi, and then turned back.

She, Xu, is very grateful for this respect.

In this team of more than 30 people, except for her family member Xu Cheng, no one knows that her backpack uses a space stacking box.

Because even Mario, who helped hand over his bag, only felt the weight of an ordinary outdoor bag.

Xu Cheng, who was sitting in the same row on the other side of the aisle, changed into clothes that were convenient for hiking and outdoor activities, just like Xu Yiyu. Both of them specially put on non-slip outdoor shoes, looking like they were ready for a hike.

The other members of the treasure hunting team did the same. They changed out of the holiday-style clothes they wore in order not to arouse suspicion. The entire team basically adopted the same dress style as Xu Yiyu.

During the few days at Yidali, Jiu had always habitually chosen a seat in a corner after getting on the bus, and always covered his face tightly with a mask. He rarely exposed his facial features to everyone.

But today, perhaps because he was about to revisit his old place, he took off the mask that covered half of his face, openly showing everyone the scars that he once regarded as indelible pain, and took the initiative to sit down with Gu Yue, his companion.

Tan Taihong turned around and saw the scar on Jiu's face that went through his entire face. Although she was a little surprised by Jiu's sudden change, she still smiled and gave Jiu a thumbs up.

--cool.

Tan Taihong said this with her mouth, and Jiu, who always tried hard to reduce his presence, saw it and actually smiled, which was very rare.

Now that he has walked into the sunshine, he will no longer think about returning to the darkness.

Before setting off, Mario went to another bus to count the number of people there, then returned to this bus and counted the number of people here again.

After confirming that all members of the "tour group" were present, he lowered his head and whispered something to the driver, then sat back in his seat.

Borno is only half an hour's drive from Domiti. Before arriving at the destination, Xu Yiyu took out his mobile phone and sent a message on Yixin to Lu Sanshi who was in China.

【Baby, I'm going into the mountains today. 】

It was a sentence that couldn't be any shorter, but it contained a lot of profound meaning that she had never said out loud.

Only a few minutes after the message was sent, Xu Yiyu felt a slight vibration coming from the phone while holding it in his hand.

【Be safe, baby, I'll wait for you to come back. 】

Xu Yiyu read this sentence many times with a smile on his face before he moved his finger to the phone screen, slowly typed a word, and sent it back.

【it is good. 】

After sending this message, Xu Yiyu locked the phone, put it back into his secret pocket, closed his eyes and began to rest.

In order to fulfill her promise and return to China in the best possible condition, she must rest well and have enough energy to face the challenges of the next few days.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the bus stopped at the public parking lot in Domiti for the second time.

Everyone on the two buses seemed to have some unspoken understanding. They sat quietly in their seats for about a minute before getting up and getting off the bus one after another.

When she smelled the fresh air with a hint of moisture again, Xu Yiyu glanced at the direction where the action team was preparing to enter the mountain, then turned back and took a deep look at the people behind her who had put their lives in her hands.

In front of Mario, Xu Yiyu did not say any clichéd words to boost morale. He just scanned everyone's eyes one by one, as if making a silent promise.

Xu Yiyu turned around again, smiled with ease, and spoke to Mario.

"Mr. Mario, please start introducing your hometown to us."

As if he had received some pre-arranged signal, Mario nodded, raised the guide flag he had been holding in his hand, and led the treasure hunting team forward.

"Hello everyone in the tour group, what you are seeing now is my hometown - Domiti."

"In the following journey, I will take you to appreciate the local customs and natural scenery of Domiti."

"You will see the clear blue Lake Brayes, the fairy-tale-like Fornas Valley, the peculiarly shaped Blade Mountain, the towering Three Peaks Mountain, and the Geisler Peaks that look like the back of a knife when viewed from afar. They are all waiting for your exploration."

When leading everyone towards the scenic spot in Domiti Town together with Mario, Xu Yiyu also spotted Zhang He, who was also from Domiti, at a location. However, he did not step forward to say hello, but just passed by his team with an indifferent expression.

On her next journey, no one can accompany her except the members of the treasure hunting team.
