The two of them embraced quietly in the cable car. Surrounding them was pitch-black darkness. From below, the occasional low growls of wild beasts could be heard, and the wind howled past their ears, with cold air pouring in completely.
Gu Moqian wrapped Ji Wei tightly, not letting a single bit of cold touch her, while he himself wore only a thin shirt.
"Get some sleep,"
Gu Moqian leaned close to her ear and said softly.
Ji Wei rested in his embrace. She hadn't planned to sleep, but the overwhelming danger before her had pushed her spirit to the breaking point. In her hazy exhaustion, she drifted off.
Ji Wei was in a deep sleep when suddenly there was a violent rattling noise—clanking and banging!
She snapped her eyes open to see the cable car swaying relentlessly in the wind. The noise had come from the connection point above the cable car.
Without further thought, Ji Wei understood that the connection area was fracturing and couldn't hold on for much longer!
