In the middle of winter, she was drenched in sweat, utterly disheveled.

In two lifetimes, she had never been pursued to such a point! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Even in her previous life, facing an army of ten thousand with just her and her zither, she remained calm and composed.

Now she’s forced to do nothing but run!

The speed of the bullets was too quick, and with someone on her back, she could only dodge.

And each evasion required her maximum speed, which was very taxing on her stamina.

Her spiritual power had to be intensely focused, otherwise she couldn’t accurately judge the angle and speed of the incoming bullets.

Bullets have no eyes, hitting a vital spot would be game over!

The garden was in sight, but three people burst out from inside, and the malice radiating from Xia Weibao grew heavier.

Three guns simultaneously aimed at her, bang bang bang—

A barrage of bullets flew, and she dodged behind a tree with Xia Shi on her back.

Yet the bullets chased her relentlessly, fiercely spraying in pursuit.

The tree, only as thick as an adult’s thigh, could not stop the bullets; Xia Weibao suddenly released one hand.

Swiftly, she extended her hand, catching three bullets between her fingers.

Then she ruthlessly flicked her wrist, sending the bullets flying back with immense force.

Precisely embedding them between the eyebrows of those three men.

Without pause, Xia Weibao swiftly rushed into the garden.

Finally reaching the manhole, she sighed in relief, seeing a sliver of hope.

However, before she could fully exhale, a hail of bullets rained down.

Startled, she dove to the side, rolling several times on the ground, narrowly evading them.

While Zhong Shixia had already been tossed forward.

Xia Weibao looked up, seeing more than twenty people closing in from all directions, her eye twitched sharply.

Glaring at the manhole cover, she dove toward it, lifting the heavy iron cover with one hand to use as a shield.

With bullets deflected, she moved over to Zhong Shixia, pulling her to her feet.

"Sister Xia Shi, how are you?"

Zhong Shixia’s face was ashen, her teeth clenched tightly as she forced out two words, "I’m fine."

Xia Weibao saw the blood gushing from her thigh, drew a sharp breath, she was hit!

More than a score of people were already surrounding them, and Zhong Shixia’s face was so pale it seemed transparent.

Xia Weibao gritted her teeth, positioned the manhole cover standing on the ground, grabbed the edge, and spun it downward, making the iron cover roll like a wheel.

She then picked up Zhong Shixia, crouching behind the rolling cover.

Bang bang bang—

The bullets struck the iron cover with a piercing screech, as if hitting her very heart.

This pushed her nerves to the limit!

Arriving at the well, Xia Weibao grabbed Xia Shi’s hand, lowering her down.

"Sister Xia Shi, it’s quite a drop, prepare yourself mentally."

With those words, she let go.

If there were no pursuers, she would definitely go down first to catch Zhong Shixia from below.

However, surrounded by assassins, if she went down first, Zhong Shixia would die for sure!

The only option was to throw Zhong Shixia down first while she covered the rear.

A height of three meters, plus her hand and Zhong Shixia’s height, with mental preparation, they wouldn’t die from the fall.

Possibly sustaining minor injuries, which was already the best scenario.

After throwing Zhong Shixia down, Xia Weibao turned, intending to jump as well.

But as she was about to leap, click—

A steel net suddenly shot out from both sides of the well, sealing the opening.

It was too fast; the steel net appeared almost instantaneously.

Her outstretched hand couldn’t withdraw in time and touched the net.

Buzz—

The crackling of electricity was terrifying; caught off guard by the high-voltage shock, Xia Weibao’s hair stood up, nearly turning her into a porcupine!
