Chapter 72: Gunshots, Shocks

Seeing that the woman could only slide down all the way without any chance to resist, her hands suddenly tore the ceramic tiles. Relying on this tiny chance to push off, she directly pushed herself and Chen Fengshi away from the wall, falling toward the open space between the two buildings!

From the shock of landing, Chen Fengshi felt like he was going to throw up all his internal organs.

Chen Fengshi landed on his side, and the fall hurt terribly, but he still hugged the waist of the Female Demon General tightly, and his other hand grabbed her hair tightly.

When his vision cleared from shaking and blurriness, the Female Demon General struggled to stand up, but he pulled hard, dragging her by the hair and making her fall to the ground again. She looked dizzy too, and on her broken leg, the bone could be seen piercing through the flesh and sticking out. Although the wound was healing at high speed, the bones at the break could not align, so it could not recover.

Chen Fengshi shook his head and became more awake. Seeing Parasites rushing out in the alley, he slapped the back of the Female Demon General’s neck.

However, even though the Female Demon General had clearly passed out, those swarming Parasites still rushed over. Only then could he see clearly that the red mist threads on these Parasites were not connected to the Female Demon General, but to the building he and Little An had just gone to.

‘Oh no!’ Chen Fengshi jumped up with the Female Demon General, borrowed force from a windowsill on the way, and jumped onto the rooftop.

He activated the golden mist, and while expelling it, he aligned the broken leg bone of the Female Demon General. Unfortunately, he was not skilled in medicine, so he could only grit his teeth and do it by feel. If he did not do this, after the Fungal Demon was completely expelled, this woman’s wound would not be able to recover, and he had no time to take her to a hospital.

In less than twenty seconds, just a few seconds after the broken bone was aligned, the wound on the woman’s leg had already fully healed.

Chen Fengshi finished the expulsion, stood up, and left. As for the indecent state of the recovered woman’s torn clothes on her chest, he had no time to help.

“Beauty Canyue, what is Little An’s situation?” Chen Fengshi jumped off the rooftop, having no time to care about the tide-like Parasites running in the alley below, only hoping that Little An’s situation would not be too bad.

“The Empress is being attacked by Parasites, Number Seven, hurry up!” Canyue had been anxious for a long time.

Chen Fengshi leaped over another building, guessing that the distance should be enough for Little An to replicate the Golden Power of Life again.

Little An, who had been relentlessly pursued by the Male Demon General, suddenly sensed the Golden Power of Life approaching, and the red mist on her body instantly transformed into golden.

The surging power made her suddenly change from dodging to attacking. She grabbed the Male Demon General’s arm with one hand and pushed him, slamming him against the wall. Without waiting for the Male Demon General to react, she pressed down on the back of his head, activated the activity of the Golden Power of Life, and expelled it at full speed!

However, the expulsion had just begun when several Parasites ran out from both ends of the corridor. One of them held a handgun, raised the gun, and shot at her!

Little An quickly pulled her hand back, leaped up, crashed through a thick glass door on one side, and ducked into the dark office.

The bullets hit the wall, and one of them, because Little An dodged, hit the Male Demon General in the back.

He fell to the ground, his face twisted in pain, but he still ordered a Parasite with a knife to cut open the flesh on his back and forcefully dug the bullet out.

After taking it out, he stood up, snatched a gun from a Parasite, and rushed into the office where Little An was hiding after a few Parasites.

In just this short time, the wound on the Male Demon General’s back had already healed rapidly, and the price was that every Parasite lost a bit of energy.

The Male Demon General searched the office while roaring angrily: “How dare you mess with our Hong Tribe! Tell me, which tribe are you from!”

Little An sneaked into a storage room, and through the Mutual Aid Association’s positioning program, sent a signal to Chen Fengshi. Then, in the darkness, she tried her best to stay calm and listen for movements.

She felt her body was extremely weak, as if… using the Golden Power of Life consumed too much, and she urgently needed food to replenish it. But clearly, the lasting power of the Power of Life should not be this short. But her current feeling was that her body was very weak, without any strength at all, and she could not even maintain good agility.

Other than waiting for rescue, it was just waiting for death!

She, Shen An, had actually fallen into such a sorry state? And this was all because of a moment of negligence just now!

This feeling was truly awful!

The door of the office was pushed open, the searching Parasite held a handgun and guarded the door, while two others with knives and sticks walked toward the large desk inside.

Little An took a deep breath, barely gathered her strength, activated the golden mist, hoping to absorb the Fungal Demon cells on the two Parasites to replenish some strength.

When the two searching Parasites approached the left and right sides of the large desk, Little An suddenly activated the golden mist, expanded its coverage, and instantly swallowed them both at the same time. Her weak body immediately felt a steady stream of power flowing in!

Little An thought carefully; the moment the two searching Parasites stood frozen on the left and right of the desk was the critical moment for her to recover her strength. If their sudden freezing could attract the unknown Parasite guarding the door to come in as well, that would be the best.

However, when the two Parasites froze because they were swallowed by the golden mist, the Parasite guarding the door directly aimed his gun at the area under the desk where someone might be hiding and fired continuously!

The impact of the gunshots was like hammers, shaking the walls, desks, and glass of the office again and again.

The bullets shot through the wooden boards of the desk, shot into the carpet on the floor, and splashed cement flew in all directions, making a continuous crashing noise; then the sound of another gunshot covered these noises, passing through the wooden board, and landed at a distance of five centimeters from where the previous bullet fell, which was also closer to the hiding Little An!

Although her body was still very weak, the situation no longer allowed her to continue hiding. Little An gritted her teeth, barely lifted the little strength in her body, suddenly rushed out from under the desk, raised her arm, and crashed toward the glass partition!

However, after Little An crashed into it, she instead let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground—she was actually so weak that she could not break the glass partition?

Little An supported her body with both hands, trying hard to stand up, a gunshot rang out—she could not even feel if she had been shot or not, but she involuntarily went soft again, relying entirely on her hands pressing hard against the glass partition to barely support herself.

Did she seem to be shot?

More Parasites were rushing over outside the door, and the Parasite holding the gun at the door ejected the empty magazine and pulled out a magazine full of bullets…

Was she going to die soon?

At this moment, Little An thought about it, because she had experienced the pain of losing companions, Little Family Beauty, and also those ones in the Mutual Aid Association before. So she had guessed whether she would also have such a day. In the beginning, sometimes she would wake up from nightmares.

She used to feel that she did not care about life or death, because there was no joy in life, and she always felt that life was a painful process. But because of the awakening of the Power of Life, because of the Mutual Aid Association, she gradually realized that she did not truly desire death, and when facing the pressure of life and death, she would also feel fear.

And at this moment, when Little An felt that she was undoubtedly going to die, there was actually no fear in her heart at all. Her immobile body could only barely support itself from slipping to the ground. She did not want to fall, not knowing why she had such meaningless stubbornness and persistence at this moment.

But this was the only thing she could barely do, and the rest was to watch helplessly as that Parasite changed the magazine, then aimed at her, and then pulled the trigger…

Yes, this was the only thing she could do now.

Little An just leaned her back against the glass partition that she was too weak to break just now. Her sweat-soaked hair scattered casually, revealing more than half of her fair face between the strands of hair. The pair of phoenix eyes on her face revealed a blank deadness waiting for death.

The Parasite at the door slammed the magazine in, raised the gun, aimed, and then—pulled the trigger!

The gun went off!

Before hearing the gunshot, Little An heard the sound of glass breaking.

When the gun went off, a figure had already crashed through the glass partition, blocking in front of her.

Chen Fengshi had come.

He pressed his hand against the glass, used his body to press down in front of her, and used his back as a shield.

The gun went off, one shot, followed by another.

When Chen Fengshi blocked in front of Little An, she subconsciously reached out to push against the solid chest pressing over, and subconsciously looked into Chen Fengshi’s bright star-like eyes.

Their eyes met, and their breaths intertwined; a temperature that did not belong to her mingled together.

The gun kept firing, shot after shot.

It shook the walls and glass of the house, and also, the bodies and minds of the two people in front of the glass partition.

Little An’s hands subconsciously resisting and pushing against Chen Fengshi’s shoulders became weaker and weaker, and Chen Fengshi’s gaze also became less bright than usual.

His gaze became soft and calm.

He felt things constantly drilling into his back, but he could not feel any pain. He did not know if the pain had not yet had time to send a signal, or if it was because of something else. But he felt that Little An’s hands pushing against his chest were getting weaker and weaker, and then he saw that in her originally dead eyes, it was as if something lit them up, burning, burning rapidly, blooming with light.

“Why?” Little An’s lips opened and closed, asking involuntarily, but perhaps because she was too weak, only her lips were moving, and she did not even make a single sound. But amidst the continuous sound of gunshots, even if there was a sound, it would probably be drowned out.

She did not know if the shock of the gunshots was too great, or if Chen Fengshi’s hand pressing on it was too forceful, but the glass partition suddenly shattered, and so Chen Fengshi and Little An’s bodies fell down together.

Chen Fengshi subconsciously hugged Little An tightly, and she pressed her face tightly against Chen Fengshi’s shoulder and neck.

When they fell, Chen Fengshi’s right hand subconsciously pressed against the ground first, and then, the momentum of their fall suddenly came to an abrupt stop just as they were about to make contact with the broken glass on the ground!

Chen Fengshi did not know how many shots he had taken in the back, but he clearly felt that he still had strength, and abundant strength at that!

So he pushed hard with one palm, and hugging Little An, he just rolled toward the desk.

The Parasite at the door removed the empty magazine, stepped back, made room for other Parasites to rush in, and at the same time, pulled out a full magazine.

However, before he could put it on.

Chen Fengshi, hugging Little An, rolled under the desk, and taking advantage of the momentum, kicked the wide desk flying toward the door to crash into it!
