Chapter 436: Sprinting All the Way
“Pick me up quickly! Forget about the wheelchair!” Bai Youwei shouted.
Jiang Hao heard her words, his smirk getting colder. No longer pretending a chase, he suddenly drew closer to them at the end of the flower beds, extending his hands clad in white gloves!
Even without knowing what the white gloves did, just him stretching them out like that was scary enough!
In his rush to evade, Shen Fei gripped the armrests, sharply veering the wheelchair and causing it to topple sideways. Bai Youwei was thrown out due to the inertia, the pain making her grit her teeth.
“Bastard…” She propped herself up on her elbows, furious. “Shen Fei! That’s the second time you’ve thrown me! Remember this!”
“Run!!!” Shen Fei yelled, not bothering to say anything more, he picked her up and dashed forward!
Jiang Hao, however, stooped down to pick up the canvas bag that had fallen on the ground, dismissing the chase for now.
But when he unzipped the bag and saw the full assortment of snacks inside, the expression on his face contorted instantly! He tossed the bag away in frustration and gave chase to Shen Fei and Bai Youwei once again!
“Run faster! He’s catching up!” Bai Youwei hurried him.
Shen Fei was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, “I’m already running at my fastest!!!”
Bai Youwei grumbled, “Then stop running! Stand your ground and fight him off!”
Shen Fei felt uncertain, “I don’t even know what his gloves do…”
Just then, another person darted out onto the road ahead!
“Whoa! What’s going on?!” Tan Xiao watched them, dumbfounded, “Why’s there a huge fire? Why is Jiang Hao chasing you?”
Bai Youwei immediately responded, “Tan Xiao! You and Shen Fei, both of you need to take down Jiang Hao!… Why are you running?!”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Tan Xiao turn and flee!
Tan Xiao was shouting while running ahead, “The cat is coming! —— The cat is coming! ——”
Tan Xiao was in the lead, followed by Shen Fei carrying Bai Youwei, with Jiang Hao stubbornly giving chase. Further away, Mary and a cat, racing towards them with flames in tow!
The cat moved at an astonishing speed!
Once the cloth and cotton was burnt off, a seemingly indestructible steel frame was revealed. The thumping noise it made when running on the ground was daunting! It barely looked like a cat anymore!
This was more like a steel monster!
“Don’t run aimlessly! Follow the path I showed you!” Bai Youwei shouted at the people in front.
Seemingly remembering this information just now, Tan Xiao hastily veered and ran into the back of the Magic Flying Fish facility.
It was now that Bai Youwei’s planned evacuation route truly came into play.
They sprinted into a narrow alley between two buildings. The ragdoll cat couldn’t get in, and as Bai Youwei had anticipated, it jumped on the rooftop, only to realize that the area below was filled with umbrellas making it impossible to discern where Tan Xiao and Bai Youwei had gone.
Enraged, Mary jumped down from the cat, sweeping away the sea of umbrellas, not realizing that Bai Youwei and the others had not crossed the alley. They had used the umbrellas as a distraction only to run in another direction after leaving the alley.
“For God’s sake! What’s happening?” The breathless Tan Xiao asked while running, “How did that cat turn into such a monstrous thing? Where’s Brother Mo? How come it’s just you guys? Shen Fei, what’s the deal with you and Jiang Hao? And isn’t your evacuation route supposed to be in the other direction?!”
Tan Xiao asked a series of questions, but no one answered him.
Slowing down, he leaned against a wall, panting, “I’m too tired, I can’t run anymore…”
Shen Fei was also slowing down, his energy significantly depleted from all the running.
Bai Youwei saw Jiang Hao catching up from behind, a pair of axes in hand seeming even scarier with his cold glare.
A sense of dread overcame her, the next second, she saw Jiang Hao throw an axe in their direction!
“Get down!” Bai Youwei shouted urgently.
“What?” Shen Fei hadn’t processed what was happening, he turned around to get a look at the situation whereupon the axe slammed into his back with a thud!
