Chapter 423: Chapter 451 Unexpected (2nd update)
Less than two hundred meters from the cliff, Yang Feifei was rushing over at top speed.
"Bang bang bang..."
A burst of gunfire echoed, causing her heart to tighten involuntarily. She looked towards the cliff, hoping silently that Lin Xi, the little rascal, was alright.
But before she could get much further, she heard an even denser round of gunfire, along with a faint roar. She couldn’t tell whose voice it was.
"Damn it!"
Yang Feifei’s face showed urgency. At this moment, she was going all out, racing towards the cliff at an unprecedented speed.
At her speed, the cliff was vaguely visible, and she could just about make out four figures on the edge, one of which seemed to be Lin Xi’s.
Getting a bit closer, she clearly saw Lin Xi’s figure moving at remarkable speed, followed by two people falling backward.
"This rascal!" Seeing this, Yang Feifei couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, thinking to herself, "How is he so strong?"
However, just as she thought that, she heard one last person scream hysterically, "Then let’s die together!"
With a sudden "boom!" that person’s body was completely obliterated, and Lin Xi, only a few meters away, staggered with a somewhat pale expression on his face.
Yang Feifei’s expression became extremely grim. At this distance—thirty meters from the two—she could feel a significant impact pushing her back.
It was evident how much force Lin Xi, at such close range, must have endured.
"Bastard, are you alright?" Yang Feifei rushed towards Lin Xi, shouting in concern.
Lin Xi turned to look at Yang Feifei, gave a slight smile, and shook his head, saying, "It’s nothing much, just a scratch!"
However, this was Lin Xi’s first time getting hurt since arriving in Chuzhou City.
But as soon as Lin Xi spoke those words, his face turned extremely grim, and he immediately shouted at the approaching Yang Feifei, "Stop right there!"
Yang Feifei froze in confusion as she saw Lin Xi’s body plunging down, along with a ten-meter section of the nearby cliff, collapsing with him.
"This..." Her entire body shivered coldly, as she looked at the gap less than half a meter from her feet.
With a ’rumble,’ the sight of Lin Xi’s grim face vanished in a blink as he went down with the falling cliff.
At that moment, Yang Feifei extended a hand slightly, her mind blank and stunned.
After a while, she broke down, sitting on the ground without any care for her image, crying out loudly. It was the saddest she had ever cried in her life.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"We were already safe, why did it suddenly collapse?"
"Lin Xi, you bastard, come out for me, come out for me!" She helplessly leaned over the edge of the broken cliff, staring into its bottomless depths, self-hypnotizing as she said, "I know you’re okay, I know you’re okay. I’ll definitely come to rescue you right away, just wait for me!"
Yang Feifei looked almost deranged, not daring to believe what had just happened. She immediately turned around and raced back at top speed.
Upon reaching the bus, everyone except Ding Yueqiu was anxiously waiting inside, ready to drive off at any sign of trouble.
Seeing Yang Feifei return safely, everyone sighed in relief. However, Ding Yueqiu noticed something was wrong with Yang Feifei’s expression and, with a hint of unease, asked, "Instructor Yang, what’s the situation over there? Where is Lin Xi?"
At her question, all the other students looked over as well, faces showing varying degrees of concern, knowing Lin Xi had lured away the group, giving them the chance to be saved.
Gu Xiaoxian, Xue Qin, and Peng Bo, though silent, clearly appeared more worried than anyone else.
"They’re all dead!" Yang Feifei forced herself to remain calm. As the leader, if she panicked, the students would become even more frightened, so she said this first to reassure them.
Then, her expression lowered, "Lin Xi had an accident and fell off the cliff."
