As soon as I activated my protective shield, all the bullets fired from both sides were blocked. Seeing that the bullets couldn't get in, the leader of the men on both sides shouted, "Zou Yu, activate your skill and fire inside!"
A man named Zou Yu stepped forward and activated his skill, sending a barrage of transparent ice spikes hurtling towards us. The spikes shattered upon impact with the protective shield and scattered on the ground, melting into puddles of water the next second.
The man in the lead continued shouting, "Zhou Ming, use fire!"
A man named Zhou Ming stepped forward and sprayed bursts of flames at our protective shield. Seeing that the fire couldn't penetrate it, Zhou Ming could only increase the intensity of the fire to burn our protective shield. We felt a surge of heat, and although it didn't reach inside, we could clearly feel the temperature rise by several degrees. Sweat dripped down our faces involuntarily.
Seeing that bullets couldn't penetrate, ice spikes couldn't pierce, and fire couldn't burn it away, the leader activated his skill and shouted behind him, "Wang Ruisheng, activate your skill to cover me!" The man behind him hesitated, but seeing that the leader had already activated his skill and was preparing to rush towards us, Wang Ruisheng had no choice but to activate his shield to cover the leader. The leader charged towards us, repeatedly ramming his body against our shield. The shield vibrated slightly from the impact. Seeing that it had some effect, the man continued to ram it. When it still had no effect, he retreated and shouted, "We'll just wait here. I don't believe their shield will last forever."
Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. I handed the gun to Wei Bin and said, "Wei Bin, you take my gun and guard them. An Xin, Li Song, Wu Feng, you guys help me send the supplies into the space. Speed things up, and once we're done, we'll rush out."
Several people followed my command and carried the supply boxes into the space. I overestimated our speed and turned to shout, "Old Ji, you guys come and help too. Everyone work together, there are too many supplies."
Everyone immediately put down their weapons and helped me carry the boxes. Just as the last box was being thrown into my spatial storage, Little Illness suddenly warned, "Master, Master, your skill range is too large. The skill will end prematurely in 30 seconds."
When the supplies disappeared, the people on both sides rushed forward and blocked our protective shield. I panicked instantly. Ji Lin'an reached out and grabbed my shoulder, whispering, "Don't panic." He then turned to Song Yi and asked, "Song Yi, how big is the range of your shield?"
Song Yi shook her head: "I haven't tried this before, I have to try it to know."
Ji Lin'an nodded: "Okay, get ready. As soon as Su Yi's protective shield drops, immediately put it back on. Everyone, move closer together, those with guns stand on both sides. Dai Qiang, do you see the statues standing on both sides? Try to knock them down to temporarily block them, and we'll find a chance to break out."
Dai Qiang obediently used his skill to try to knock down the statues, but the statues were quite large, and Dai Qiang struggled to knock one down. The statue instantly fell in front of the people holding shields, startling them so much that they took a few steps back. Two of them dropped their shields in fright. Ji Lin'an quickly stepped out of the shield, picked up the shields from the ground, and handed them to Li Song and Dai Qiang. The people outside quickly returned to the outer perimeter of our shield.
The two picked up their shields and stood in position. At this moment, my shield had disappeared, and Song Yi's invisibility shield was activated, but the shield's range was too small, only enough to cover Wu Feng, Dai Qiang, Wei Bin, An Xin, and herself. Seeing this, the leading man shouted, "Shoot! Shoot directly!"
Fortunately, Li Song and Dai Qiang were holding shields, which blocked the bullets. Song Yi and the others behind them had already become invisible, and the bullets coming from behind were also blocked by her shield. Ji Lin'an shouted, "Song Yi, you guys go first, just run out!"
Once Song Yi and the others left, there was no more resistance behind us, and bullets started shooting at us from behind. I felt a chill run down my spine, and I turned around and fired at them. Just then, Ji Lin'an activated the shield skill that he had copied from me: "Let's go, let's go too. My skill has a short duration, let's get out of here before it disappears."
After saying that, Ji Lin'an pulled us all and ran outside. The leader immediately shouted, "Everyone, go forward and surround them. We can't let them get away!"
We were instantly surrounded by more than a dozen people. The people at the front were holding shields, and even when I and Qianliyan fired, we couldn't shoot them. We were tightly surrounded by the shields. Ji Lin'an tried to expand the shield's range, attempting to break through the encirclement. However, expanding the shield made it easy to trap the enemies inside as well. Seeing this, Ji Lin'an immediately stopped.
Just then, some of the people who were blocking our way on the outermost edge suddenly stopped and started swaying. Then, the swaying people were pushed away by an external force and sat down on the ground. We knew it was An Xin's stun skill. They had returned. We took advantage of this opening and rushed out with all our might.
The dizzy people behind us had already stood up. Ji Lin'an and I turned around and fired a burst of gunfire into the crowd. Song Yi also started firing. In no time, most of them fell down. Only a few people with shields were still struggling. Just as we were about to go around to their backs, they suddenly fell to the ground with arrows stuck in their backs.
We all breathed a sigh of relief when we saw that everyone was dead. Ji Lin'an said, "Let's go quickly and find a place to hide. We made such a commotion, and more people will definitely come after us."
Before the shield expired, we sprinted away from the supply center and headed into the depths of the forest. At this moment, Song Yi's invisibility shield also failed, and the figures inside the shield were revealed. We continued running until we were sure that no one was around before we stopped, panting heavily.
Ji Lin'an looked around: "We have a lot of supplies now, and most of our skills have been exposed. Although everyone who saw our skills is dead, we are not sure if there are people hiding in the shadows watching us. So let's find a place to hide for now, rest, organize our supplies, and fill our stomachs."
After saying that, we walked through the forest. Suddenly, An Xin, who was walking in front, suddenly groaned and disappeared from our sight. We quickly went forward to check and found a pit about one square meter in front of us. An Xin was sitting on the ground, clutching his buttocks, looking up at us with a pained expression: "Ouch, I almost fell to my death."
Ji Lin'an immediately reached out: "Come on, let me pull you out."
An Xin stood up, reached out and grabbed Ji Lin'an's hand. Just as Ji Lin'an was about to pull An Xin up, Ji Lin'an stopped. An Xin looked at Ji Lin'an with a puzzled expression. Ji Lin'an said, "An Xin, go behind me and clear away the grass on that wall."
An Xin let go of Ji Lin'an's hand, turned around and walked in the direction Ji Lin'an pointed. He reached out and pulled away the weeds on one of the walls in the pit, revealing a door. An Xin gently pushed the door open, and a staircase came into view, leading to the ground. Ji Lin'an immediately turned around and said, "Wei Bin, Qianliyan, you two keep an eye on the surroundings. I'll go down and take a look."
Ji Lin'an jumped into the pit, turned on his phone's flashlight and pointed it towards the inside of the door. He carefully went down the stairs, and after a while, Ji Lin'an came up and poked his head out of the door: "There's a shelter down there, you all come down."
