Chapter 32: Mutated giant wolf (2)

“Hey, what’s the matter with the two of you! Wake up!”

“What happened?”

Several male voices sounded and they were already very close.

“Keep quiet.” Chi Xin whispered.

“Who’s there!”

Chi Xin couldn’t hide from where she was standing but when the bullet hit the air and headed her way, she jumped on the spot. She somersaulted, her broad cloak fluttering beside her, but the hood stayed firmly on her head.

Before she could even land, two silver guns appeared in her hands and she shot towards the newcomers.

“Ah—”

“We’re under attack!”

The girls looked at the slender figure standing protectively in front of them and their eyes teared up.

A torch was lit up not far away and more people came in.

They couldn’t be blocked by them!

Unlike zombies who attacked with their claws and fangs, humans had guns and their attacks were not aimless. Chi Xin was worried that if things kept going this way, not only she could get injured but the girls behind her could get killed in the crossfire.

She turned around to look back at them and said quietly: “Hold on tight and wait for me.”

Then amidst everyone’s exclamation, she climbed on the cage. It took a few seconds for the men to react, enough for her to stand on top.

“Quickly! Catch him!”

“There’s the cliff behind, he has nowhere to run!”

Chi Xin sneered in disdain and raised her gun before aiming at the man who was shouting the most.

Bang.

Her bullets were never wasted.

She then turned around and resolutely jumped down the cliff. Her cloak followed her in a beautiful arc, just like a God of Death.

When the men rushed to the edge of the cliff, they could only see its dark bottom and hear the freezing wind roaring.

“What should we do? Is he dead?”

“We can’t see anything even during daylight. There’s probably not even bones left.”

Chi Xin couldn’t hear them talk but she hadn’t jumped down without a trace of worry. Fortunately, her body’s reaction ability was still present. In this extremely dangerous situation, her body had reacted instinctively and even broke through its usual ability.

Chi Xin had not jumped blindly. As she had fallen she had grabbed plants that grew on the edge of the cliff and caught it on her first try. After that, she took a dagger from her space and thrust it into the wall fiercely.

She tried her best to listen to the movement above her but could not hear anything except for the wind. Glancing down at the abyss under her dangling feet, like a dark and deep-sea ready to drown her any time, her eyes trembled slightly and she looked away.

After analyzing the direction, she clung to the wine and swayed hard. She suddenly loosened her hand, grabbed another plant, and did it again.

At the other end of the base, Wo Na was fidgeting in the room. Ever since Chi Xin had left with Wen Suxin, she had felt uneasy. She couldn’t help but think Wen Suxin was very dangerous and following her was even worse; she really regretted letting Chi Xin go with her.

If she was leading her to a trap…

A noise came from the outside and Wo Na carefully opened the door slightly to see what was happening. She could see lit-up torches in the woods, accompanied by shouts of men.

What had happened? Had Chi Xin been caught?

Wo Na grabbed her pocket nervously, where she kept the anesthesia gun that Chi Xin had given her. Thinking of the girl’s gentle yet firm gaze, she couldn’t help but feel pain; Chi Xin had given her hope again but she couldn’t do anything to help.

Wo Na let go of the small gun in a daze. Sure enough, nobody could protect others in this world. How could she put all of her hopes on such a delicate girl’s shoulders?

Just as she was falling into despair, knocking sounded on the window on the cliff’s side. Wo Na was taken aback and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

As soon as the window opened, she raised her arms and shot a couple of times.

The black figure who had just climbed in staggered. Despite trying to avoid the bullets, they were hit.

Wo Na’s voice trembled: “Don’t move! Come closer and… I’ll kill you!”

The figure paused but insisted on crawling inside. Wo Na looked at the man wrapped in black in horror and was about to pull the trigger again.

TL note: Funny story. I was starving but I forgot my meal and I forgot my wallet. So I’m still hungry.
