"Climb the tree!" The order hit the ground.
Without a word, the two of them climbed up the tree. They were well-versed in this escape procedure.
They both simultaneously aimed for sturdy branches, yanking and pulling until they broke them, all while tugging on the nylon line to check its stability.
Standing high gives a wide view, and it wasn’t hard to spot the enemy closing in!
Gu Tong placed a branch on the nylon line, while Xia Xi clung to her like a koala, aiming her guns at the enemies behind and began to shoot.
’Bang, bang, bang―――’
Almost at the same second, Gu Tong forcefully kicked the tree trunk, allowing them to smoothly slide downward using the slope and branch as their path.
Don’t underestimate this speed; it’s comparable to a cable car.
This was the best method to reach the second location in a short time!
Gu Tong tightly gripped the branch, both hands trembling fiercely, tiny thorns piercing her fair palms, yet she felt no pain.
The nearly overlapping past surged in, perfectly aligning with everything happening now...
Xia Xi clung to her, holding Gu Tong without wanting to do anything; they had once again returned from the brink of death, using the same method.
What could be more memorable than this!
The branch sped desperately toward the trees ahead, about to collide.
At that moment, Gu Tong’s red lips parted, saying, "Jump!"
Xia Xi, in perfect sync, released herself, jumping towards the back, while Gu Tong let go of the branch, jumping back as well.
They narrowly missed colliding with each other, landing slightly apart―――
The danger was temporarily past!
What followed was silence.
Gu Tong lowered her eyes and opened her once ’indifferent to the world’ fair hands, now scarred and bearing ’experience’ marks once again...
These were proofs of her survival against all odds!
The deathly quiet atmosphere didn’t last long.
Gu Tong already picked up the laser, aimed at the nylon line, and shot it apart!
Only by cutting off the enemy’s retreat could they be truly safe.
"I guess they have a car, it won’t take long to drive up the mountain; during this time, finding a safe spot is our main task, we..."
Gu Tong talked to herself, walking towards the slope, completely ignoring Xia Xi.
However, before she finished speaking, she felt her hand being held...
Xia Xi held Gu Tong’s blood-seeping hand, frowned, and said, "Hey, I said you have no sense of pain... Every time you end up covered in wounds..."
Gu Tong pulled her hand back, without giving her any emotionally-filled look! All that was left was indifference, saying, "Let’s go!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
Xia Xi blinked a few times, puffed up her cheeks, and pouted her lips in grievance, then said, "Hey, are you still mad..."
"We just survived together... Why are you still so petty... I mean, can’t you just enjoy the warmth for once... our rare moments together... No Sicuro Mafia, no Han Shang, no countless tasks..."
"Just the two of us, wow, it’s practically like a honeymoon..."
Xia Xi chased after Gu Tong’s footsteps, her mouth chattering non-stop.
Suddenly, Xia Xi raised both hands!
In that instant, Xia Xi wished she could slap her babbling self, saying, "Ahem... Big sister, I was wrong..."
