The train from Lanxi Kingdom to Wu Country takes seventeen hours.
That's a long time.
Compared to how we've already gotten used to the efficiency of planes, this is actually pretty hard to endure.
And because there's currently conflict breaking out in Wu Country, even if Zhang Beixing and Makely spend seventeen hours on the train, they still can't go straight to where they want to go.
On top of those seventeen hours, they have to transfer and trek for more than three hours before they can get there; it's basically a whole day gone.
There's nothing to be done about it; Zhang Beixing can only pin his hopes on Leng Bing being tough enough on his own.
Tough enough to hold out through this winter cold until the moment he can rush to his side.
Makely has to be brought along; she's the only hope Leng Bing has to stay alive.
"After you bring him back from the brink, then what? Send him back home?"
Makely chose to use this victim to break the silence between the two of them.
