Listening intently to the conversation of the pursuers behind her, Yan Yan moved with steady steps, her face obscured by dust and grime, expressionless.
A fleeting sharpness glimmered in her dark eyes.
Her ears caught wind of Yan Qingyue's news, and a smirk tugged at her lips, adding more confidence to her plan.
After nearly ten minutes of weaving through the streets with the headhunters from Liuying Street, just as the group behind her was about to make their move, she suddenly vanished from sight fifteen meters ahead—
“Damn it, find her!”
It was hard to come across a fresh face; they couldn't let this opportunity slip away. The regulars had grown tired of the same old dishes; this time, they absolutely could not miss out.
“Hurry, hurry—find her!”
“Ah—”
A sudden scream pierced the air.
One of the headhunters who had been talking was struck by a falling concrete block, his forehead instantly a bloody mess as blood seeped into the ground beneath him.
Dust and debris kicked up around them, causing Brother Ya to cough violently.
“Cough, cough—damn it, that brat has revealed herself and dares to fight back! Grab her!”
“Up there!”
One person pointed to a figure visible on the upper platform where the concrete block had fallen.
The dilapidated building swayed precariously around the street. A thin silhouette leaned out from the broken platform but quickly retreated upon being spotted, darting back into the structure.
“Quick, chase her—”
Climbing up the slanted corridor, aside from the moaning man on the ground and Brother Ya waiting for news, the other three were left coughing up dust as they searched around. After a while without finding anyone, one of them poked his head out and shouted, “Brother Ya—there’s no one!”
"Fool, the person has escaped! Hurry up and chase after them, they're ahead!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a dark figure swiftly darted out of the hidden passage, their agile body weaving through the narrow alleyways, with four others hot on their heels.
"Panting—"
Heavy breaths echoed in the air.
Without the light-as-a-feather attributes from the game, the burden of heavy legs and a body weakened by long-term malnutrition made the strain on their heart increasingly unbearable, a metallic taste lingering in their throat.
Gritting their teeth, just a hundred meters ahead was the E Zone.
"Bang—"
"Brat, where do you think you're running to?"
"Ugh—"
A pair of large hands clamped down on Yan Yan's waist, a wave of goosebumps surged through her as an overwhelming urge to vomit hit her like a tidal wave. "Ugh—"
"Damn it! Die, Girl!"
"Smack—"
A slap sent the girl's head spinning to the side, and she immediately dropped the remaining hand to wipe away the bile that splattered onto her.
In that moment of release, a sharp pain shot through her groin. "Ahh—" She doubled over, clutching herself as her assailant's face contorted with rage, veins bulging.
"Get rid of this Bitch for me!"
Retracting his foot after delivering a brutal kick, Yan Yan hunched over and continued to retreat as three people closed in from the front.
Hard confrontation would undoubtedly lead to death.
Now, the only way—
She quickly scanned her surroundings, cold sweat pooling in her palms, yet her expression remained calm and unyielding, even her Black Eyes showing no sign of wavering. The previous training had been too light; this young body was not yet capable of fully unleashing its potential. If the Game Pod appeared—
Lowering her gaze to conceal the killing intent in her eyes, she moved swiftly, executing a quick Rolling maneuver. The rough ground scraped against her arms and cheeks as she hooked her fingers, piercing the exposed rebar into her palm.
At that moment, a shadow lunged at her from the left front!
Instead of retreating, she charged forward with a fierce leap. "Bang—"
The two collided, and with a sword-like grip, the rebar plunged violently into her opponent's abdomen. Warm blood instantly soaked her body, filling her nostrils with a scent far more real than any game.
As she withdrew her hand, two shadows surged toward her from the front and right. They reached out to grab her, their grip tightening painfully on her hands. With a clang, the rebar fell to the ground. "Bitch, how dare you hurt our brother!"
A thick arm struck hard against her abdomen. "Ugh—" A sound of pain escaped her lips as the dark and bright Black Eyes glinted coldly.
"Hey—still daring to stare at us like that? Keep looking, and we'll deal with you right here!"
"Second Brother, hold on; let's check on Fourth Brother first. What a hassle; we catch one prey and injure two brothers instead. Let's tie up this Girl."
The burly man released one of Yan Yan's hands and leaned forward to check the breath of the person lying on the ground. "Still alive."
"Good, let's hurry and take them back. I can handle this dead Girl alone. Ya Ge, are you alright?"
"Third Brother, quickly take this Bitch back for me! I can't wait to torture her properly for daring to attack us. Now she's nothing but a stinking bug caught in our grasp," Ya Ge's rough palm slapped against Pale Gaunt Face's cheek, his mouth spewing curses filled with a foul odor. "Ungrateful little thing; let me show you what it means to be grateful!"
"Smack—"
A powerful slap landed on the girl's bloodied face in an instant, exposing her fragile neck to their gaze.
The jade color of Fair made him swallow hard, a lewd glint igniting in his eyes. His mouth, twisted with malice, leaned closer, while the pain in his groin from the earlier kick still lingered. With this thought, his anger flared back up as he spat, "Take her back."
Two men pressed her forward, stepping out of the alley where light and shadow intertwined for a brief moment.
The pupils of the two men constricted reflexively.
Now's the time!
With her head lowered, Yan Yan seized the moment provided by the grip on her arm and suddenly lifted her head. She sprang into action, raising her legs high and delivering a powerful kick aimed at their foreheads.
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
Two loud impacts echoed.
Ignoring the sudden sharp pain in her legs, she pulled her hands free and lunged forward, dodging Brother Ya's grasp. She quickly got to her feet, clutching her arm and dragging her injured left leg as she hurried toward the entrance of E Zone.
Damn it, I underestimated them!
Her physical condition was far worse than it had been in her previous life after five years of training in the Game Pod.
When she had fought to break free moments ago, not only had her left hand dislocated, but her left leg was also injured. At this rate, she wouldn't be able to run far before getting caught.
Where on earth is the underground passage?
As she sprinted, the scenery around her blurred past. Her scanning gaze swept repeatedly over her surroundings but found no sign of escape.
Just as the hunter lunged at her again—
She found it!
Crouching low, she rolled clumsily, curling her body to reduce the impact of the fall as she descended into the dark passageway.
A head popped out from the Secret Passageway.
Then came a loud "bang—"
"Ugh—"
"Ugh—"
Two muffled groans echoed simultaneously. Yan Yan, who had prepared herself for a hard landing, was surprised when a lean figure caught her beneath.
The man in black let out a pained sound from his sensuous crimson lips as an unknown dark mass rolled off his muscular chest.
Having just completed a mission and traversed through the Quarantine Network, a Spherical Object had fallen down.
"Down below, hurry and chase!"
The voice from the Secret Passageway caught his attention, and he shot a quick glance, his Peach Blossom Eyes clouded with concern.
Curled up against his chest was someone gripping a sharp stone tightly in her palm, her Right Arm muscles tense against her neck. (To be continued.)
