Gu Xiaoxi instinctively felt great danger, dropped her canteen, rapidly retreated, and then rolled several times on the ground.
At the same time, gunshots rang out, and she dangerously dodged several bullets. The next second, she climbed up from the ground and took off running.
The speed of her feet was incredibly fast, as if she were a gust of wind, growing more distant from the stream by the second.
Na Qi and Lv Yihai, leading two groups, quickly chased after Gu Xiaoxi, firing shots at her. However, she was so fast that even their shooting only hit her calf and didn’t strike a vital spot.
By the time they surfaced from the water of the stream, Gu Xiaoxi had already disappeared from their sight.
One had to admire her alertness and reaction speed—it was really fast!
In the dense forest, Gu Xiaoxi crouched in the bushes, rubbing her calf, grimacing in pain. Although the blank rounds wouldn’t really hurt people, she had been close to the impact, and now her leg was swelling up.
Gu Xiaoxi gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and listened quietly to the voices of the people. Judging by everyone’s breathing, there were about twelve people not far away, approaching in her direction.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zilong had really sent so many people to capture her alone.
Including the six people she had taken out earlier, there should be three teams in total.
Gu Xiaoxi massaged her swollen calf a few times, then gripped her gun tightly, surveying the terrain. She needed to find a suitable place for shooting to engage them in a firefight.
Twenty seconds later, Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes, which sparkled like stars, squinted slightly, her long eyelashes curling up, a hint of slyness curling her lips.
She casually picked up a large rock, flipped over, and quickly hid up in a large tree.
With her current shooting speed, by the time others reacted, she could take down four.
But their speed wasn’t slow either, and amongst them, Na Qi and Lv Yihai were both snipers with extremely fast speed, using ordinary rifles for close-range shooting would be even faster.
Gu Xiaoxi had no intention of confronting them head-on.
After all, they had the advantage of numbers.
Na Qi, soaked to the skin with his backpack, ran heavily. The twelve people ran rapidly, naturally intending to catch Gu Xiaoxi.
"I just saw her run over here," one of the soldiers pointed out not far away.
Na Qi squinted his eyes, "Yihai, let’s split into two teams and advance in formation, keeping watch in different directions. This guy is too cunning. No matter what, we must catch her."
Lv Yihai felt that was doable, "Team Six, advance in formation to search for Gu Xiaoxi, she must be around here. Be careful."
"Yes!" The group quickly divided into two teams, advancing orderly in combat formation.
Watching from a distance, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but click her tongue, thinking to herself that old soldiers are indeed different—so well-coordinated, just this formation was highly alert.
The two groups of people, no matter from which direction she fired, as long as there was a gunshot, they would be able to locate her immediately and "kill" her on the spot.
Indeed, those with an extra year of training were different.
Gu Xiaoxi chuckled, but even so, she wasn’t afraid of them.
In her hand, she held a stone the size of an egg, then looked up at a large tree not far from Na Qi, with a stone placed on one of its branches.
Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze turned cold, and her wrist suddenly exerted force, casting the egg-sized stone. It struck the branch supporting the large rock; due to the impact, the branch shook violently, and the leaves rustled to the ground.
