She remembered the last time she had fled in such a panic was the time before.
That was in her previous life. She was once chased by a thief because she had a bag of dried apples in her hand.
She found this in a small supermarket that hadn't been cleared out. There were a lot of scattered snacks, and she was ready to take them all at once. She hid them carefully and walked all the way, but at the last moment, she was accidentally caught eating dried apples.
When the group saw the food, they were like hungry wolves and chased her for more than ten miles.
That look...
Just like the two wolfhounds chasing her now.
A wolfdog's sense of smell is a hundred times stronger than that of a human.
They were running in the snow at night, leaving footprints. Once discovered, it would be easy to track them down. And with two professional wolfhounds...
Lu Qin ran forward desperately.
In her previous life, she was hungry and cold, and was forced to flee, but she endured it.
I have made all kinds of preparations in advance in this life, so why am I still being hunted?
"Run here!" Lu Qin pulled Qu Dongbo through the old alleys.
Qu Dongbo had just told him the meeting point with Captain Liu, which was about 1.5 kilometers outside the city.
As long as they pass through the entire old city, they can get out of Cao Yulei's sphere of influence and find support.
Lu Qin gritted his teeth and rushed to the old street on the other side of the road with Qu Dongbo. This was Rongcheng's old town. Apart from a few iconic buildings, the rest of the area belonged to the old town protection area and still retained the original old-style houses.
There are many forks in the old alley. If you can pass through the forks and slow down the other party's pursuit, it will be a good idea.
Lu Qin pulled Qu Dongbo into the alley and walked around in it for half a day. The alley was narrow and the snow was piled very deep, so they couldn't run fast.
There were at least a dozen people behind him, holding flashlights and leading wolfhounds, and they looked ferocious.
"I can't do it anymore..." Lu Qin panted while running.
"Don't talk, save your energy." Qu Dongbo almost half dragged and half pulled Lu Qin to run.
But the people behind were getting closer and closer.
You can already see the two wolfhounds running in the front, their eyes flashing with dark green light under the refraction of the light.
"Stop!" A man in a black hat behind them shouted at them, "Don't move! I'll shoot if you move again!"
Before he finished speaking, Qu Dongbo raised his hand.
“Bang, bang—”
Two shots hit the target, and the person who spoke fell down screaming.
There was a cold look in Qu Dongbo's eyes.
"Never mind, just chase after them!"
…
Lu Qin was still wearing the hotel's cotton slippers, having lost her own shoes and forced to make do with them. But after the long journey, they were soaked in snow and water, and her feet were numb from the cold.
Qu Dongbo felt sorry for her, so he simply carried her on his back, which actually made them walk faster.
"From here, turn right. There's a small path that leads directly to the main street outside!" Lu Qin lay obediently on Qu Dongbo's back and directed, "We're about to exit this old street. Outside are all main roads, so their people might have an easier time catching up."
"But that road should be the closest to the place you mentioned where Captain Liu and the others will meet." Lu Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Please put me down! I can do it myself!"
"No, how can you..."
"Stop talking nonsense! I don't even know if I can leave." Lu Qin struggled and jumped off Qu Dongbo's back.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind. This is not the time to refuse. Seeing the determination on Lu Qin's face, Qu Dongbo had to continue pulling her forward.
"Here!" The voice of the crowd chasing them came from behind. It was really difficult to get rid of them completely.
Fortunately, there are not many roads left. Just turn two more roads and you will be outside the old city.
Lu Qin only felt that the soles of her feet were cut by the tiny ice chips that were poured in, but she did not say anything and kept gritting her teeth to persevere.
“Bang, bang—”
Two more gunshots rang out.
It was the people behind him who were firing warning shots.
The higher-ups had given orders to kill people alive, so they didn't dare target the two directly.
Lu Qin didn't dare to look back and could only keep running forward.
…
The road out of the city was right under his feet, but Qu Dongbo's heart was growing heavier.
He had heard Captain Liu's attack, but there had only been one cannon shot. They were already very close to their destination, but he didn't see any sign of support.
What is hindering their actions?
…
Right in front of me was the meeting place we had agreed upon, but there was no one there as I had imagined.
"We're not in the wrong place! This is Xixia Bridge!" Lu Qin also noticed something was wrong.
She didn't go to the wrong place, which proved that the person who was supposed to pick her up was missing.
"careful!"
Qu Dongbo instinctively pulled Lu Qin over.
A bright spot flashed across the darkness, and a bullet came out of nowhere and just passed by Lu Qin.
She was startled and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when another gunshot rang out.
Qu Dongbo had no time to dodge, and instinctively raised his hands and hugged Lu Qin.
A muffled groan.
Qu Dongbo covered his left shoulder.
Just one thing left, the heart.
Lu Qin hurriedly turned around and supported him: "Qu Dongbo! Are you okay?"
Before he could finish his words, a burst of gunfire rang out, followed by screams.
But it was aimed at the wave of people chasing after them.
In just a moment, the group of people who were chasing the two men fell to the ground, leaving no one alive.
The two looked at each other.
"Pah pah pah."
"Captain Qu is truly compassionate and considerate of women."
Suddenly, a teasing voice came from the other side of the bridge.
Qu Dongbo frowned, covered the wound, but silently used his body to block Lu Qin.
"Hahaha, don't be nervous. I'm not that treacherous old thief Cao, and I'm not interested in your crush."
A young man in a military green coat came out and pointed at the bodies on the ground. "How about it? This is my gift to you."
"Liu He?"
"Long time no see, old classmate."
