Chapter 654: Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo Stand Their Ground
“Take that fork in the road over there and leave. I’m sure that these people are targeting me.”
“No way! What’s the situation anyway?”
“Don’t ask any questions for the time being. I’ll lead the other party away. You help me cover when you get back to the class.”
“No, that’s too dangerous. I’m worried about you going alone. What are you going to do if something happens? At least now, there are a lot of people. They won’t dare to open fire too easily.”
“Who knows when they’ll do it? If they’re a group of mercenaries who kill people without blinking, they don’t care who you are once they start shooting. If their target is really me, I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life if I accidentally let other people get hurt.”
“It’s too dangerous!”
“It’s okay, I can handle it. I haven’t trained for so long under Mu Feichi in vain.”
“No, I’m sorry. I’m too worried. I’ll go with you. With two people we can have each other’s backs. I can help if you really need anything.”
“…” Yun Xi looked at her briefly, glanced at the class and the teacher that were about to leave, and could only bite the bullet and nod.
They left the corner, and Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo went to the other side of the fork. As they were walking, Yun Xi took out a thin down jacket from her bag and handed it to Zhao Yumo.
“Hurry up and put it on. The color of your clothes is too conspicuous.”
“They’re such lightweight clothes. Will they keep us warm? Have you worn them before?”
“This is a down jacket that I had specially made to order, and it can keep anyone warm in this temperature. I will give you some more of these clothes later.”
Yun Xi was at her wit’s end toward this girl. She was still in the mood to analyze clothing fashion when they were in such a predicament.
After putting on the white down jacket, Zhao Yumo carefully glanced around and asked in a low voice, “What should we do now?”
“They probably have four to five people, and one of them must be a sniper. The sniper must be taken care of first, otherwise no matter where we go, we will definitely become his target.”
“But we don’t have any weapons. Even if we had a gun, neither of us can shoot. Second Master Jiang didn’t teach me how to shoot.”
From Jiang Chenghuan she’d learned what can and should be learned, but he hadn’t taught her how to shoot.
She felt speechless when she thought of this.
Yun Xi turned and glanced at her, and shrugged helplessly. “Mu Feichi didn’t teach me either.”
“Then why do you dare to take risks? No, I’m going to call Second Master Jiang quickly and ask him to come and help us, otherwise, we are going to lose our lives.”
Knowing her own limits, Zhao Yumo was not so stupid as to let her and Yun Xi, two rookies, take risks. She took out her phone to call Jiang Chenghuan.
The signal in the mountains wasn’t good, and the phone call didn’t go through.
“What should I do? There’s no signal!”
Yun Xi took out her phone and looked at it, but she also had no service. “There’s no other way. It seems like we can only rely on ourselves.”
At this very moment, Yun Xi vaguely heard a faint muffled thump from the foot of the mountain.
It was snowing, and the surroundings were silent. Occasionally, the sounds of birds in the nearby forest could be heard.
“Listen, was there a sound?” Yun Xi thought she might have heard wrong, and pulled on Zhao Yumo’s arm.
“There was a sound. It sounded like footsteps. Was it perhaps a beast from the forest?”
“How could that be possible? What else can there be besides monkeys in the macaque sanctuary?”
“Let’s hide behind these trees and look around. Our side is relatively high, so we should be able to see clearly below.”
Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo took shelter behind a big tree. Yun Xi observed the mountain road below.
After waiting for a long time, they heard that the sound of footsteps had disappeared, but was replaced by a low, familiar, and distinct cry.
“It’s Great White!” The cry was so familiar and so distinct that Yun Xi recognized it right away.
