"Still here? Then he shouldn't have gone far," Lu Sha concluded. "Sister Jiao An, can you locate him? I can run fast enough to catch up."
"I need to decrypt his phone for satellite positioning; it might take some time," Jiao An said as she operated the holographic screen that popped up from her watch.
"Hmm?"
A sudden wave of unease washed over Jiao An, causing her to furrow her brow and glance around, seemingly searching for something. This strange behavior left the others looking at her in confusion.
Having spent years as an agent and sniper, Jiao An's alertness was beyond mere sharpness; it had become an almost mystical instinct in her mind. Perhaps this was the sixth sense of a sniper—she could faintly sense another pair of eyes watching them, apart from everyone present.
She felt it but couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from.
Her fingers slowed on the screen as she truly confirmed that someone was watching them! But she didn't know how to explain it to the others!
"What's wrong?" Qin Weishan was the first to notice Jiao An's unease and asked.
Looking at Qin Weishan standing across from her, she noticed a flicker in his gaze as if he had seen something in her direction. This subtle change sent a chill down Jiao An's spine! Without turning around, she lunged toward Ren Yong'an, who was being restrained by Lu Sha, shouting, "Get down!"
Everyone froze for a moment, but being warriors of the alliance, they reacted swiftly, squatting down to evade the command in an instant.
Just as Jiao An had sensed, in the next half second, gunfire erupted! The sound of bullets whizzed past Jiao An's ear. Time seemed to freeze as a bullet shot from the adjacent floor, cutting through the air with a piercing sound and grazing Jiao An's shoulder before heading straight for Ren Yong'an's left ear!
At that moment, Ren Yong'an had not yet been fully tackled by Jiao An. In mid-air, he felt an intense pain tearing through his left ear. The next second, he was heavily pressed to the ground by Jiao An, and the pain radiating from his ear surged into his head, causing him to instinctively clutch his ear and scream!
Now everyone realized—someone was attempting to assassinate Ren Yong'an!
Lu Sha and Qin Weishan, facing the villa across from them, immediately entered combat mode. They both instinctively looked toward the window on that side—it should have been an empty house with no one living there temporarily. In the dim light from a streetlamp on the second floor across the way, nothing was visible. Lu Sha squinted as she searched when suddenly another gunshot rang out from the shadows on the second floor!
In that instant when the muzzle flash lit up, no one knew who the gun was aimed at. Qin Weishan immediately raised his mechanical gauntlet, shielding his face with both fists while crouching down.
However, the target wasn't Qin Weishan.
"Ouch!" Lu Sha felt a tremendous impact on her chest; her footing faltered as she slammed into a nearby table! Seeing this, An Xiaotian rushed forward to grab Lu Sha, her first instinct being to steady Lu Sha and check her chest for injuries.
"I'm fine; bullets can't kill me," Lu Sha shook her head and regained her composure. Her rapid self-healing ability had saved her countless times.
Jiao An bent down to quickly bandage Ren Yong'an's wound and said, "It must be homemade bullets. The old man's ear is still intact; it just got pierced. The damage is clearly less than that of standard military rounds."
"It’s probably that Wang Hao!" Qin Weishan had already activated the spotlight in his mechanical gauntlet and shone it toward the opposite side, but there were no shadows visible in the unfinished empty room anymore. "Jiao An, call your motorcycle out; I'm going after him!"
"I'll go!"
Lu Sha released An Xiaotian and reached into her clothing with determination, viciously pulling out a bullet casing lodged in her left chest. "Dare to shoot at me? I promise I'll drag him back broken! Sister Jiao An, trust me; I run really fast!"
"Hey!" An Xiaotian grabbed Lu Sha's hand tightly. "Did you just pull out a bullet?"
"Yeah."
"You'll die! Taking out a bullet right after being shot will cause bleeding..."
Lu Sha helplessly pouted, placing her hand on her clothes and without hesitation, she pulled them open, exposing her chest to An Xiaotian—white and tender, looking as if nothing had happened at all, like a jiggling jelly.
"Uh..." An Xiaotian quickly covered his eyes with one hand, feeling that not looking would be disrespectful to the 'injured person', making him awkwardly embarrassed.
"Is it pretty?" Lu Sha pouted, covering her exposed chest with her clothes again. "I've proven it like this, so can you just be nice, brother?"
"Alright, alright, you go ahead." An Xiaotian was speechless. Looking at Qin Weishan who was grinning at him, he raised his chin and pulled down the corners of his mouth, touching his earlobe without knowing what to say.
After turning around, Lu Sha shyly smiled and jumped out of the second-floor window. In fact, she didn't mind An Xiaotian seeing her body at all; after all, who told Lu Sha that she was secretly in love with him?
"Ding ding ding—" As Lu Sha fell, the hook-shaped Chain Spear in her hand sliced through the wall, making a sound as the marble was scraped away, safely delivering Lu Sha to the ground.
Meanwhile, upstairs, after stabilizing Ren Yong'an's injuries, Jiao An's watch received a signal system access request that was approved by the computer. Jiao An quickly activated the holographic screen while asking An Xiaotian to open the door of the MPV parked outside and sending Wang Hao's real-time location to Lu Sha, who was sprinting through the villa area.
"Sasa! There's a motorcycle waiting for you outside the villa area!"
"Got it!"
Lu Sha's top running speed had been more than enough to catch up with Xu Yicheng driving a speeding bus during the zombie war. However, since she wasn't familiar with the neighborhood and took a wrong turn at an intersection, she could only rely on the holographic map popping up on her watch to find the exit of the community.
On the map, Wang Hao was almost out of the exit!
"Hey." Lu Sha looked at the map while running. "I'll let you run fifty meters first; I don't believe I can't catch you!"
"What should we do next?" Qin Weishan and An Xiaotian stood aside watching Jiao An comforting the somewhat mentally disturbed Ren Yong'an and asked.
"First notify Ren Yong'an's family, then we'll leave," An Xiaotian said. "To be honest, I'm still a bit worried about letting Lu Sha chase him."
If it weren't for how embarrassed An Xiaotian felt earlier, it would be hard for anyone to fully trust a hot-tempered girl just twenty years old to carry out a task alone. An Xiaotian knew that Lu Sha had strong self-healing abilities; she could withstand knife wounds and gunshot wounds even from laser weapons without issue. However, he often couldn't shake off his concern for her deep down, fearing that something unexpected might happen and put Lu Sha in danger. Before facing Ban Sa in the alliance, An Xiaotian didn't want any team member to get hurt.
"I see him!"
Lu Sha shouted over the communication channel. At that moment in her line of sight, there was a river at the exit of the villa area where a person was running frantically among the shadows of trees across the river; she could vaguely see he was carrying a backpack.
Target locked! Lu Sha immediately sprinted at full speed; her powerful legs and swift movements startled a nearby young mother pushing a stroller into a scream as cars in the community were overtaken by Lu Sha in just a few strides!
"What is that?" The driver rolled down his window to look ahead; he only saw fallen leaves being split apart by a black-red shadow in an instant as Lu Sha slid through the protective railing at the entrance of the community and jumped up to continue running!
In front of the MPV, its headlights suddenly lit up and its rear doors opened automatically. Unlike other multi-purpose business vehicles with seats in the back row, this vehicle not only had seats but also carried a dark purple smart motorcycle!
As soon as the automatic doors opened, motorcycle headlights flashed on and its engine roared to life as it surged forward! Under Jiao An's remote control, it rolled onto the road while maintaining a speed of twenty-four kilometers per hour. Bystanders looked on in amazement at this strange motorcycle when suddenly another loud shout drew everyone's attention back—
"Everyone, get out of the way! I don't want to hit anyone!"
A gust of wind swept past the eyes of the pedestrians, and amidst their gasps, the force of the wind suddenly yanked down several hanging leaves!
Lu Sha leaped into the air a few meters behind the motorcycle, precisely landing on the pedal like a tiger pouncing on its prey. With her wrist caught in her clothing, the Chain Spear launcher collided violently with the throttle through her clothes, producing a satisfying echo. Lu Sha steadied the bike, twisted the throttle wide open, and the immense acceleration lifted the entire motorcycle off the ground as she soared forward!
At the intersection ahead, Wang Hao also heard the roar of the motorcycle. Turning back to look, he exclaimed, "What the hell! Isn't that the woman with cherry-red hair? For her to come after me is just... damn, what a coincidence."
"Lu Sha, do you have a driver's license?" An Xiaotian suddenly realized this issue over the communication channel.
"No!" Lu Sha replied defiantly.
"Then what the hell are you doing?!" An Xiaotian rolled his eyes, nearly infuriated: he really regretted letting her hit the road. It was already 2060; not only would high-definition cameras capture her face for identification, but just her riding without a helmet could cost Jiao An a significant amount of points.
"Captain, stop questioning me!" Lu Sha was now boiling with anger and said whatever came to mind. "I've shown you my chest; can't I take it for a spin? Back in my day, I drove a continuously variable transmission supercar on the highway!"
"You..." An Xiaotian was left speechless. This was an open channel; she truly embodied the highest realm of social awkwardness—social terrorism.
"Hahaha, power for favors!" Qin Weishan laughed heartily while leaning against the wall. He glanced at An Xiaotian's dark expression and shrugged, saying, "This will keep me laughing for a year, buddy. Are we ready? We can set off now."
"What?!"
Lu Sha's voice came through the communication channel with immense surprise in English.
"What’s wrong?" The earlier incident seemed not to affect Jiao An's work; her face remained expressionless as she inquired about Lu Sha over the channel.
"He... he..." The wind howled past Lu Sha's face, making it feel extremely uncomfortable, but that wasn't why she was at a loss for words. She squinted and looked closely until Wang Hao turned right and was blocked by a building before she explained:
"That Wang guy... how come he has two wheels growing out from under his feet? Like that... Nezha!"
