Chapter 654-655

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. *** Chapter 655: Shot 　 As soon as she stood up, Yun Xi saw a greyish white figure rushing from her right side. Before she was able to assimilate that she was really seeing him, Great White had rushed over. “Great White!” Holding on tightly to Great White, who had thrown himself into her arms, Yun Xi’s face was full of joy and surprise. This guy had actually found her from her scent alone. The butler had been so brave, and he had let Great White go and find her all by himself. He hadn’t been afraid of him being captured for research purposes. 　 　 “D*mn, how did he find you?” Upon seeing the adorable Great White wrapped in Yun Xi’s arms, Zhao Yumo was shocked. “How astonishing that is that he could find you!” “All I can say is that his master trained him very well!” Yun Xi touched Great White’s head and finally stood up. Her eyes shone as she looked at Great White, who had grown into an adult snow leopard. “Great White, why are you here? Go back! It’s dangerous here, so you can’t follow us.” Just as Yun Xi tried to persuade Great White to return to the butler’s side, a low muffled bang sounded in the woods. Yun Xi unconsciously turned and looked at the commanding heights of a sniper’s position and subconsciously threw Zhao Yumo out of the way. At this moment, she had been right in front of the sniper’s position, but Zhao Yumo had been blocking her, so she had been destined to be the first hit of the sniper. In the blink of an eye, bullets shot through the air... Due to her protective instincts, she was able to block Zhao Yumo. However, as she threw Zhao Yumo to the ground, a bullet pierced her shoulder. “Aaah...” The pain caused by the bullet penetrating her shoulder made Yun Xi almost bite through her lips. “Yun Xi!” Zhao Yumo reacted immediately and hurriedly dragged her to the other side of the slope. Now the steep slope was blocking them from both of the snipers on the higher ground. 　 　 The smell of blood entered the air. Great White smelled the blood, and when he saw that Yun Xi had been wounded, he suddenly became mad. “Great White!” Gritting her teeth and dealing with the pain in her right shoulder, Yun Xi yelled to him in a low voice, then raised her left hand and touched Great White’s head. “Calm down, calm down...” Great White opened his mouth, licked her cold and trembling hand, and howled in a low tone. Yun Xi thought she had calmed him down, but next thing she knew he had turned around and raced toward the snipers’ position. “Great White! D*mn it!” Yun Xi watched Great White’s figure disappear into the snow, and her heart leapt into her throat. The speed at which the sniper aimed at its target usually took 0.5 seconds. There was only one thing in her mind now. She hoped that when Mu Feichi had trained Great White’s hunting speed, he had trained it to be faster than the speed at which the sniper aimed at its target. Otherwise, he would become the next target to be hit. “Yun Xi, how are you? Why are you so stupid?” She’d just taken a shot for her, and she’d barely had time to react. At such a critical moment, she felt that she was really useless. Looking at Yun Xi, whose neck was stained with blood, Zhao Yumo felt panicked and anxious. Her hands trembled as she wondered how to help. “Help me get my backpack. I have first-aid supplies in my bag.” Yun Xi stiffened her neck and gritted her teeth. The tingling in her shoulder made her entire hand feel numb. “Don’t be nervous. Do as I say. The bullet didn’t hit any of my vitals. It just penetrated through, so as long as the bleeding stops, I will be fine.” “Okay...” Zhao Yumo nodded, carefully removed her backpack, and took out a large bag of first-aid supplies from inside. “First look for scissors, then look for hemostatic powder in a white glass bottle. Cut my clothes and sprinkle the powder on the wound. It’s easy, so you can definitely do it.” “This I know...” Even though she tried to calm herself down again and again, Zhao Yumo was feeling panicky since this was the first time she’d faced such a situation.
