However, Lu Ming did not appear to be unharmed at this moment.
A face as white as paper, lips devoid of color, glazed eyes, and a body swaying precariously...
"land……"
“Let’s go. I…” Lu Ming shook his head.
Zhou Chunhua's heart skipped a beat.
He can't even speak properly anymore, how could he be alright!
But the sound of drones in the night sky behind them was getting closer and closer, and they didn't even have a chance to stop and catch their breath.
Looking at the road ahead, they realized they had only reached the mountainside and were still a long way from the summit.
If Lu Ming's blood kept flowing like this... she didn't even dare to think about it anymore.
I pinched my thigh hard, and the numbness in my foot finally got some relief.
She caught up with him, took the hand that Lu Ming was holding and put it around his shoulder as they passed by.
Lu Ming turned to look at her, his face full of surprise: "You...aren't you the one who hates me touching you the most?"
"You've risked your life for me, how can I hate you? Come on, let's hang in there a little longer." She bit her lower lip so hard that her teeth drew blood.
However, the faint taste of blood in her mouth was far less than that on Lu Ming's body.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Ming's chest, where the area soaked in blood had grown even larger.
Therefore, they need to get rid of She Yalan and her group as soon as possible and leave Ganxi Village!
So she used her strength like a crutch to support Lu Ming as he walked uphill.
However, as time passed, whether it was because her strength was about to run out or because Lu Ming's body was getting heavier, every step she took became much more difficult than before.
The sound of drones in the night sky was almost overhead.
As the beam of light pierced through the branches and shone on them, She Yalan's eerie laughter rang out again.
"Run, run fast, or you'll be riddled with holes! Hehehe... Hahahaha..."
Zhou Chunhua glanced back at the sky and immediately pushed Lu Ming aside.
The instant she let go, a series of gunshots rang out through the night sky.
Unable to run away in time, she could only leap into the nearby bushes with all her might.
The moment he fell, his head slammed hard against a large rock next to the bushes.
A warm stream slid down her forehead, wetting her eyes.
She wiped her sleeve, reached out and helped Lu Ming up, wanting to continue climbing to the top of the mountain.
Just then, from the woods behind them came the cracking sound of branches snapping underfoot.
It was obvious that She Yalan's men had caught up with them.
"Let's go." She helped Lu Ming up, intending to continue upwards.
But Lu Ming waved his hand weakly and pointed to the side, saying, "Go...that way."
Zhou Chunhua looked over and couldn't help but frown.
There's only one road leading up the mountain from Ganxi Village, and she had just walked it during the day earlier that day.
She clearly remembered that there was no path leading up the mountain from this side!
Whether Lu Ming noticed her hesitation or not, he said, "Trust me, the road over there... will be... easier to walk."
So she decisively walked in the direction Lu Ming pointed.
She's only been to this mountain a few times; she doesn't even have the right to question Lu Ming!
Since Lu Ming said this side is easier to travel, then this side must be easier to travel!
With her doubts dispelled, she walked with even greater determination.
So, by the light of the moon, they continued their arduous journey.
However, as she walked, Zhou Chunhua felt that she was going in the wrong direction.
Because it seems they weren't heading towards the summit, but rather circling around the back of the mountain.
"Lu Ming, are you sure this is the direction?" she finally asked.
Lu Ming nodded: "Trust me. Then..."
At this point, Lu Ming could barely speak.
Zhou Chunhua sensed something was wrong and gritted her teeth, desperately trying to move her feet forward.
She had considered hiding Lu Ming, but it was because She Yalan's drone was a thermal imaging device.
To put it bluntly, as long as it's alive, there's no way to escape it.
If Lu Ming were to fall into She Yalan's hands... she simply dared not think any further.
So she glanced at the drone not far behind her and the footsteps that were getting very close to them, and continued forward.
After walking for about ten or twenty minutes, Lu Ming suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Zhou Chunhua finished speaking, the drone's beam shone on them.
Immediately afterwards, several beams of flashlight light shone over.
broken!
They were eventually caught!
"You can run pretty fast!"
"Run! Why have you stopped running?"
"Hahaha, they can't escape now."
In the blink of an eye, the flashlight beam enveloped them.
Dozens of beams of light shone on them, so bright that Zhou Chunhua couldn't open her eyes.
"Are you fucking coming over here yourselves? Or do I have to go up there myself?" Scarface's voice rang out again.
The next second, Lu Ming raised his hand and shielded her behind him.
"If you've got the guts, come up here."
Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Scarface's laughter broke the silence of the night.
"Hahaha, guys, what did he just say?"
Someone replied, "Scarface, he said he wants to die."
"Yes, yes, I heard it too."
"Hahaha, I've lived for decades and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone courting death."
"..."
More and more laughter erupted.
But Scar's laughter was particularly prominent.
At this moment, Zhou Chunhua paid no attention to those people's casual remarks and was focused on finding a breakthrough.
But you don't know until you look, and what you find is shocking.
Because she suddenly realized that there was a cliff not far behind her!
All the passable routes have been occupied by She Yalan's men.
In other words... they have nowhere else to go!
Just then, Lu Ming used his back to brace against her and backed away step by step.
After taking a dozen or so steps back, Lu Ming suddenly stopped.
His hand reached under the backpack behind him.
It was too dark, and the light was dim, so she couldn't see what Lu Ming was touching at all.
But just then, Lu Ming's deep and weak voice rang out: "Hua Hua, do you believe me?"
Zhou Chunhua frowned and looked up, meeting Lu Ming's gaze.
He smiled and said, "Please, trust me one more time, just one more time."
The moment he finished speaking, Lu Ming threw something towards Scarface with his hand behind his back, then suddenly hugged her tightly...
Losing her balance, Zhou Chunhua felt her feet sink into the ground and plummeted downwards.
The wind whistled past her ears, and the feeling of weightlessness sent her heart leaping into her throat.
She wanted to scream in terror but dared not open her mouth, fearing that if she did, her heart would leap out of her throat.
"Don't be afraid... Hold me tight." Lu Ming's voice rang in her ear.
Driven by fear, without Lu Ming saying anything, she unconsciously wrapped her arms tightly around Lu Ming's neck.
This feeling is like a non-swimmer grabbing onto a piece of driftwood when they're about to sink to the bottom...
