Big Brother Long's face was contorted with grotesque features as he glared fiercely at Li Baolong, gritting his teeth as he said, "You little brat, you've been meddling in other people's business. Today I'm going to break one of your arms." With that, he charged forward like a vicious wolf.
Li Baolong was startled; his survival instinct ignited instantly. He turned and ran, sprinting towards the Modi River across the road. His heart pounded like a drum, the wind whistling in his ears, and the shouts and curses of his pursuers echoed behind him. He dared not stop; only one thought occupied his mind: run, don't let them catch you.

I still have so much to do, I can't just give up like this." He kept encouraging himself, sweat soaking his back, but he didn't even notice. At this moment, the will to survive consumed his entire being.
