Chapter 604: The Only Way Out
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Wei couldn’t help but exclaim, “Huh?”
Mei Shu shot her a glance, and she promptly closed her mouth, silently shedding tears inside.
In terms of seniority, she could be considered Mei Shu’s elder, and she had always acted domineeringly as an elder, doing many unfair things to the children of the Mei family.
But now, stranded on this deserted island, she found herself having to rely on a junior, whom she had once looked down upon, for survival. It was beyond frustrating!
But even so, it was better than being dead!
So she obediently cooperated with the actions of the two. She didn’t want to be a burden to them.
Mei Shu and Jiang Hai dealt with the second person just like before.
However, there was a mistake in the process.
Feng Wei accidentally stepped on a wandering snake, and she screamed in fright.
Mei Shu tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late. At the same time, Mei Shu heard the rapid footsteps from all around, rushing toward their location. “What do we do?” Feng Wei looked guilty and lost, trembling like a leaf.
Mei Shu impatiently grabbed her wrist. “Come with me.”
She signaled to Jiang Hai, and they swiftly disappeared into the dense forest. However, the group behind them was evidently faster.
With Feng Wei slowing them down as dead weight and Mei Shu herself injured, their speed inevitably slowed down as they traveled, exacerbating their already bleeding wounds.
Continuing like this meant certain death.
But evidently, the heavens thought their situation wasn’t thrilling enough and decided to play a huge joke on them at this life-or-death moment.
Feng Wei looked at the dark swamp ahead, her legs turning to jelly. “What do we do now? There’s no way out!”
“Shut up and don’t disturb me,” Mei Shu snapped.
As she spoke, Mei Shu took off her makeshift bulletproof vest and dismantled the hemp rope from it.
Jiang Hai wanted to stop her, but it was too late; he could only watch her actions.
“You hold this end. Do you understand what 1 mean?” Mei Shu finished speaking, looked up, and locked eyes with him to ensure he understood what she was about to do. Then she pulled Feng Wei to hide in the side bushes.
Alone on the opposite side, Jiang Hai placed the hemp rope about five centimeters above the ground, waiting for the unsuspecting prey to fall into their trap.
Soon, the footsteps reached their previous location.
The group, afraid of losing track of them, ran over, paying no attention to the ground beneath them. In a moment of carelessness, they walked right into their trap.
The two fastest runners tripped over the hemp rope and fell into the deep, murky mud pit.
The rest of the group immediately realized what happened and pointed their guns at the bushes on both sides, shouting, “Come out!”
Feng Wei almost screamed again but was promptly silenced by Mei Shu, who pulled her back.
At this point, Mei Shu couldn’t afford to hide the fact that she could turn invisible anymore. She used her points to activate the skill in front of Feng Wei’s eyes and disappeared directly.
She slowly circled around the two trapped men, trying not to make any noise. Then, when one of them was about to pull the trigger, she plunged her knife into his throat.
One hit, one kill.
She quickly seized the gun and shot the other man before he could react.
In the blink of an eye, the two men with guns lay on the ground.
Seeing the situation reversed, they now held weapons capable of killing directly!
The situation had reversed. Now, they also had weapons that could directly kill people!
“There are four more people,” Mei Shu whispered.
She could tell that three people were still walking together and moving in this direction. In addition, there was another steady footstep behind them.
That person was probably the leader of these men, the man extremely difficult to deal with.
“I can handle the three of them,” Mei Shu said confidently after checking the magazine and confirming that there were only three bullets left, but Jiang Hai immediately refused.
“No, it’s too dangerous for you alone, especially since your wound is bleeding profusely and can easily expose our whereabouts. I’ll go; I also have three bullets, which is enough.”
“In that case, be careful, and come back quickly if anything happens.”
After they finalized their plan, Mei Shu returned to where Feng Wei was.
Five minutes later, she materialized from invisibility.

Now, she only had one chance left to turn invisible.
Mei Shu took a deep breath and whispered, “Staying here will only get in the way. Jiang Hai will handle the three over there, and I’ll distract the last one. You can take the opportunity to escape.”
“Are you really going to save me?” Feng Wei found it somewhat unbelievable.
Not only had she helped Mei Mu bully Mei Shu before, but she had also selfishly shifted all the blame onto her. Even when she was desperate, she chose to kidnap Mei Shu and extort money from her, beating her up in the process.
But at this critical moment, Mei Shu was risking her life to leave her with a chance of survival!
