A gunshot rang out, startling all the birds in the surrounding trees into flight.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the woods, Gu Lingxiao heard gunshots.
He immediately determined that the gunshots were coming from the east, and raised his hand to strike.
They immediately understood and ran in that direction; this was a tacit understanding they had developed over many operations.
The tomb raiders had guns, which meant they went from being ordinary criminals to serious offenders.
We must catch them as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
——
To evade their pursuers, Lu Zhixia and Bai Ying didn't follow the original path but instead chose to go through the woods.
"Stop running! You can't escape!"
"Once we catch you, see how we torment you to death!"
The man spoke arrogantly, but his strength was waning, and he hadn't eaten anything for several days.
Those two women were incredibly fast runners, and he leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily.
The others chased after them, so he had to chase after them again.
Lu Zhixia glanced back and saw that they were getting closer and closer. Rather than both of them being captured, it would be better to separate and try to survive. So she said to Bai Ying,
"Let's split up and run; that way, we'll have a better chance of making it down the mountain."
Anyone who comes down the mountain can bring people back up to rescue them.
Bai Ying knew this was the best solution, so she could only nod in agreement. Time was of the essence; she could only manage to say one sentence.
Be careful.
"the same as you."
The next second they each ran in the left and right directions.
Several men caught up and saw the two women running in different directions.
"Boss, what do we do? How are we supposed to chase them now?"
Scarface waved his hand, "You two go after the one on the left, we'll go after the one on the right."
After we catch them, we'll come back here the way we came. I refuse to believe that a group of us can't catch these two women.
He had just come up with a new idea: grab them and send one of them down to bring them food.
This way, people can be kept under control. As long as their basic needs like food, water, and sanitation are met, they can hide in the mountains for many days.
Lu Zhixia heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't turn around and kept walking forward.
Having finally been reborn, she didn't want to die, much less fall into their hands.
"Stop right there! You can't escape!"
"Once we catch you, we won't let you off the hook!"
A wild laugh came from behind. Lu Zhixia held her breath, feeling that she was about to run out of strength.
She stepped into a hole filled with dry branches and leaves, and quickly climbed up.
She twisted her ankle, winced in pain, but only paused for a few seconds before standing up and running forward with all her might.
Because the pain was less intense than before, the footsteps behind became increasingly rapid.
Gu Lingxiao heard the man's voice, so he waved to everyone and ran in that direction.
Gu Lingxiao climbed the big tree next to him as fast as he could and saw a woman running towards him from that direction.
Scarface followed behind her, along with three other men.
Gu Lingxiao decisively ordered his men to split up and hide around the area, intending to trap them like turtles in a jar.
The woman's resolute expression left a deep impression on him.
Lu Zhixia had already made the worst-case scenario plan in her mind, which was to roll down the slope, and she didn't want to think about the consequences.
"Stop running!" Scarface panicked and pulled out his gun again, this time with only a few bullets left.
I wasted one just now, and now I have to waste another one.
He raised his pistol towards the woman, aimed at her calf, and pulled the trigger, firing a shot.
Lu Zhixia paused in fear upon hearing the gunshot, and then a person suddenly darted out from beside her. He was wearing camouflage clothing and had paint on his face, making it impossible to see his features.
He grabbed her waist, and they rolled to the side, continuing to roll.
With a man protecting her tightly, Lu Zhixia felt a sudden dizziness.
Zhang Qian also pulled out a pistol and opened fire on the suspects.
Scarface's pistol was almost empty. After firing a few shots, he ran out of bullets and had no choice but to throw the pistol away and raise his hands.
Then his brothers followed suit; if they didn't surrender, they would die, but if they surrendered, they would have a chance to live.
Of course they wanted to take a gamble; what if they could survive?
Seeing that they had surrendered, Zhang Qian waved to his brothers. With Gu Lingxiao absent, he was now the captain in charge of the next operation.
They swarmed in and arrested them all.
——
Lu Zhixia felt that she was finally free from rolling around. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the face that was so close to hers.
This person has very beautiful eyes and good facial features.
A man who can wash off the dye from his face should be quite handsome.
She was now lying on top of the man, a position that was far too intimate.
She realized something was wrong and immediately remembered something, just as she heard the man hiss.
Then she could only lie back down and see his brow furrowed. Now they were practically face-to-face, looking very intimate.
"What's wrong?"
"I think I bumped my arm. Don't sit up normally. Move to the side and get off me."
"good!"
Lu Zhixia reached her hand to the ground to the side, then moved her leg, feeling that she could move to the side immediately.
Gu Lingxiao used his left hand to support himself as he sat up. They had rolled down a steep slope, and getting back up would definitely be difficult.
Looking at the very calm girl sitting to the side,
Are you hurt?
"No."
"That's good! It's definitely not going to go up now, so we can only go down this slope."
