Chapter 645: THE NOTE

Mu Liang chuckled.

After a long time, Mu Lan called out, "Liang."

Mu Liang asked, "What is it?"

Mu Lan asked back the same question, "Where are we going?"

"You will find out soon." Mu Liang replied the same answer.

Two days later, Mu Liang was driving a car. Mu Lan was sleeping beside him. She drove six hours in the morning without a single break and now she was dead tired. Mu Liang glanced at her before his eyes turned towards the road.

After they entered Ethiopia, they asked for the help of the police. They both had special passports, as a result, they didn't need visa permission. Since some of the police were heading to the capital, they helped the couple in the foreign country.

At first, it was excessive hot. In Saudi Arabia, they didn't sweat much, but in here, they were sweating, their bodies became sticky, they couldn't bath anywhere, there was no suitable place to have a rest, they had to share little bit of food and water, they had to stay alert all the time because of unfriendly tribal people, criminals and animals. In other words, the journey was hellish.

Mu Liang and Mu Lan took off their Arabian clothes long ago. Before they entered Ethiopia, they had to cross hot desert which was unbearable after they had a long journey in the sea. Mu Lan thanked the Almighty for bringing cotton pants, not jeans.

In two days, their white skin became tanned. Mu Liang could bear everything as he had a hard life in the army, however, as for Mu Lan, she was exhausted from the moment she put her feet in Africa. The whole journey tired her so much that she forgot to complain all the way. There was only one question in her mind, 'When will I get out of here?'

It was noon, when Mu Liang parked the car in the parking lot. There was a restaurant in here. This was the last time they were going to eat in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia.

Since it was the capital city, it was better than the desert and the forest. To Mu Lan, it was like a paradise.

When Mu Liang stopped the car, Mu Lan woke up. She was having light sleep almost every day. She couldn't relax and her body and nerves were tensed all the time. It made her less and less energetic.

Mu Liang said, "You woke up at the right time. Want to eat something? We won't get to see any good restaurant for a while."

Mu Lan nodded and yawned. She wished that she could sleep a bit more.

They got out of the car and went inside the restaurant. They ordered the local food and kept waiting.

"Are you exhausted?" Seeing Mu Lan bent her head on the table, Mu Liang asked.

Mu Lan didn't open her eyes. She simply said, "I want to bath."

Mu Liang rubbed her head. "When we get back home, I will let you stay in the bathtub for twenty hours."

She thought of their duplex house, the flower garden, the vegetable garden, the pond full of fishes and the beautiful lake. "I miss home."

"We will be there soon." He promised.

The food was served. Mu Lan slowly chewed the food. Right now, she was eating Kitfo. It was made from the leanest meat, Kitfo was similar to French steak tartare. The meat was minced and warmed in a pan with a little butter, the spice blend mitmita and sometimes thyme.

While she was eating, she saw a small paper was stuck with her plate. She took the paper. It was folded. She unfolded it and saw a line was written in Chinese.

'They are two kilometers away from you. Get moving!'

Mu Lan silently handed over the paper to Mu Liang.

Mu Liang read it and his face sank. He immediately ordered to pack up the food. The waiter packed the food and gave it to them. Mu Liang and Mu Lan headed to the parking lot.

In two days, they got notes like this one. The notes kept informing them about the enemy's movement. Both of them could tell that The Cobra was helping them and they were really grateful.

"Do we have tracker with us?" Mu Lan asked.

"Do you think they put on GPS inside our body? I don't think so." Mu Liang gave his opinion. "Moreover, if it is true, then Akram is the one who is following us. And if it's really Akram then why didn't he find us after we fled from his palace?"

Mu Lan tiredly shook her head. "I don't know. After the day you told me that the signal wasn't going through, my head stopped working. I wish I could ask Al, but they aren't showing themselves. I'm feeling terrible."

"Al? One of them?" He meant The Cobra.

"Yeah." She tiredly answered.

Mu Liang took her right hand in his. "Don't worry. Everything will be alright."

"Hmm." Mu Lan nodded. "Where are we going?"

"Kenya." Mu Liang lightly answered.

Mu Lan blinked. "Do we have enough fuel?"

He nodded. "Yes. I bought some extra gallons."

She couldn't remember when he did that. "When?"

"You were sleeping." He answered.

Mu Lan became silent. She was thinking about the car. All of a sudden, she asked, "Is it possible if the enemy knows that we bought a car and they bribe the shop and ask for the information? It won't be impossible to track us down through the satellite, right?"

As she gazed at him, she could feel that her heartbeat was gradually rising.

Mu Liang looked at her without saying anything.

She continued, "Liang, we can't use this car anymore."

"Do you think those were Akram's men?" He asked.

She licked her lips to soak her dry lips. "I didn't know for sure, but I feel like it."

Mu Liang sped up the car.

"Shouldn't we take another car?" Mu Lan asked.

"I have a plan. Don't worry." He looked calm.

"I believe in you." Though Mu Lan said that, she still felt uneasy.

An unknown place and unknown enemies.

What will happen in the future?
