The suburbs are sparsely populated, and the stars and moon shine brightly at this moment.

The temperature inside the SUV gradually dropped. Qiao He magically produced several bottles of water and handed one to Bo Shiwu.

"Thanks, you little burden. If it weren't for your keen sense of smell, we definitely wouldn't have been able to escape by now," Qiao He sighed softly.

Bo Shiwu smiled faintly: "It's just a gut feeling."

Like a wild beast, with an innate sixth sense.

In fact, Bo Shiwu didn't know what would happen either. He naturally couldn't have predicted something like a chemical plant explosion.

I just have a feeling something bad is going to happen tonight.

When he smelled that strange paint odor, his unease reached its peak.

He immediately told Qiao He and then fled.

They were just one step ahead.

But it was this one step that allowed the two of them to escape danger.

Those who are slow to react, or even those who sleep too soundly, are in for a rough time.

Some people smelled large amounts of poisonous gas and died from breathing difficulties before they could escape.

Some people die in their sleep without even realizing it.

He didn't even know how he died...

A gloomy atmosphere permeated the capital city, and the night grew even darker, as if the abyss coldly stared at all living beings.

At this moment, the Qiao family was almost frantic with worry.

The highway was packed with vehicles, all scrambling forward like madmen.

Even with the deployment of a large number of traffic police and armed police, the roads could not be cleared.

News of the gas leak spread throughout the city within minutes, and hundreds of thousands of people are currently fleeing the city center.

Everyone wants to get away from chemical plants as soon as possible.

This has led to the current situation.

Qiao Yimu pounded on the car window, his heart filled with anxiety as he watched Qiao Yuan's face grow increasingly pale.

At this moment, Qiao Sansen returned, looking travel-worn and wearing a mask tightly over his shoulder as he sat down.

"No, the traffic jam ahead is too long, even the traffic police are helpless!"

“Many people have started abandoning their cars and running on foot. The toxic gas outside isn’t too thick, but… it will come sooner or later.” Qiao Sansen’s expression was grave; he didn’t know what to do.

He leaned closer to look at Qiao Yuan and noticed that his younger sister's face was becoming increasingly pale and listless.

"Big brother, let me carry my sister on my back. We can't wait any longer!" Qiao Sansen said through gritted teeth. They had no other choice.

Qiao Yuan opened her beautiful eyes with difficulty, and said softly with red eyes, "It's okay... Big Brother, Third Brother... I can keep going."

Mr. Qiao said coldly, "We'll abandon the car! We can't let anything happen to Yuanyuan. Let's go! Let's go now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Yuan cried out emotionally, "Dad... I, I'm really fine. Don't worry about me like that. Besides, the car windows are closed, we can hold out for a while..."

But the next second, Qiao Yimu shook his head and said, "The temperature inside the car is too high, and even if the windows are closed tightly, it may not be able to keep out the poisonous gas."

"If the poison gas gets in, it will be too late then," Qiao Yimu said in a deep voice, and then put another mask on Qiao Yuan.

"Third brother, carry Yuanyuan on your back, we'll take turns carrying her!" Qiao Yimu opened the car door.

A faint smell of paint wafted over, and Qiao Yimu's face turned extremely ugly.

Qiao Sansen decisively picked up Qiao Yuan and turned to his parents, saying, "Mom and Dad, my older brother and I will take my sister first. You two catch up quickly!"

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao both nodded, expressing no complaints about Qiao Sansen's arrangements.

Because their whole family dotes on Qiao Yuan the most.

Qiao Yuan wanted to decline, but when she saw the worried look in Qiao Sansen's eyes, she said softly, "Third Brother, thank you for your trouble..."

Qiao Sansen chuckled and said, "Silly girl, we're siblings, what's the trouble? It's not troublesome at all."

Then Qiao Sansen carried Qiao Yuan on his back and ran forward, with Qiao Yimu following behind him.

Qiao Yuan lay on Qiao Sansen's strong back and slightly curled her lips.

That's great, she knew those two men from the Qiao family would choose to escape with her first!

As for Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, those two old fogies, whatever.

What does it matter to her whether she lives or dies?

Anyway, they aren't her biological parents.

Those are all Qiao Yuan's biological parents~

Her parents died long ago. If Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were still alive, they would continue to exploit their love for "Qiao Yuan" and hold onto the greatest benefits.

Why not have two more people doting on you?

At this moment, Qiao Yuan had no idea that while they were struggling and fleeing in a sorry state, Qiao He had already taken refuge in the suburbs.

She leaned back in the car seat, feeling a little drowsy.

There's no way around it, the air conditioning in the SUV is just too comfortable.

Isn't this more comfortable than the nearly 50-degree heat outside?

Qiao He fell into a blissful sleep, still holding three soft kittens in her arms.

Looking at the harmonious scene, Bo Shiwu couldn't help but feel warm.

He felt no sleepiness whatsoever, for he knew tonight would be difficult.

So he had to keep watch at night to protect Qiao He and the kittens.

***

By the time the fleeing army arrived on foot, it was already dawn.

Many people sat directly on the ground, panting. They were so hot that they felt dizzy and were drenched in sweat.

Some people escaped by car, but their numbers were small.

As the number of people increased, some began to have wicked thoughts.

A group of unemployed people gathered together, whispering about something, and then one of them set his sights on Qiao He's SUV.

They were so hot, they couldn't stand it!

Since the car had air conditioning, they decided to rob Qiao He's car, as well as the cars driven by the women around them, and the sickly-looking man who looked like he couldn't fight.

You should pick the softest persimmons to squeeze.

Clearly, Qiao He's appearance is far too delicate.

They look like they're easy to bully and manipulate!

So when a few shady-looking men slapped the car window, Qiao He struggled to open her eyes and yawned.

"Hey! Little beauty, open the car door, okay? Your car can hold quite a few people, right? Let us sit in and enjoy ourselves for a while." The spiky man chuckled, constantly sizing up Qiao He's pretty and delicate face.

Qiao He was filled with questions. She glanced at the group of men, and suddenly the "Playing it Off" system's voice rang in her mind: [Ding—Host detected being robbed. Please start playing it off now and let Bo Shiwu drive these scumbags away!]

[Complete the mission and you will receive a random reward!]

Qiao He twitched her lips. This "playing dumb" system really does issue new tasks anytime, anywhere.

However, she couldn't be bothered with this group of people, so she gave Bo Shiwu a look and continued to lie back and hug the babies.

The troublesome man saw that Qiao He not only ignored him, but also showed no sense of crisis whatsoever!

Feeling looked down upon and humiliated in front of his brothers, the man pointed at Qiao He and yelled, "Hey! What do you think you're doing, you bitch?! Open the door for your grandpa right now!"
