Rong Dai's face tightened, her breathing slowed instinctively. She saw the crack in the corner of the car window.
If this continued, this car wouldn't be able to protect them for much longer.
And they were caught between a rock and a hard place.
There were people in the abandoned factories on both sides, all coming after them.
Now with the car tires shot out, they couldn't leave, and they were still some distance from Bertelen Castle.
"Dai... Dai'er... will we die here?"
Song Xuechun usually appeared nonchalant, but she had never encountered such a perilous situation. It was natural for her to be afraid.
Tears kept flowing from her eyes, and her voice trembled as she spoke.
Rong Dai's heart ached as if stabbed with needles. In her previous life, it was her own foolishness that caused her tribesmen to suffer!
And now Song Xuechun had to pay the price for her weakness.
A sense of hatred and anger spread in her heart, permeating her entire body!
Her face grew even colder, but her gaze towards Song Xuechun was exceptionally gentle and determined.
She reached out and tidied Song Xuechun's disheveled hair beside her ear, her voice soft: "No, don't worry."
"Dai'er, I believe you."
Song Xuechun was greatly encouraged, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Stay in the car and don't move. I'll go out, these people must be dealt with."
Jing Chen observed the situation outside while swiftly retrieving and loading several firearms from under the passenger seat.
Rong Dai looked at these dark, menacing guns, and her heart pounded a little.
But she had to protect those around her!
She glanced at Song Xuechun, who was clearly terrified yet remained strong, not daring to cry out loud.
She couldn't let those around her suffer because of her again, like in her previous life!
"Can you teach me how to use them?"
She asked Jing Chen. The car's intelligent assistant had already issued a red alert - the car's body was nearing its limit from the barrage of bullets.
Jing Chen didn't hesitate, selecting a Browning handgun and handing it to her while demonstrating and explaining its use simultaneously.
"Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Rong Dai nodded, gripping the weighty handgun in her hand. The feeling was similar to holding a bow.
"If an enemy approaches, you must aim for their forehead and shoot, but only when you're confident."
"This is not a joke! Understand?"
Jing Chen sternly instructed before swiftly slipping out of the car like an eel.
"Xuechun, keep low and stay in the back seat. Don't move."
She cautioned Song Xuechun. The sounds hitting the car had changed pitch - at this rate, the car would be disabled at any moment.
Song Xuechun hugged her head and nodded while lying in the back seat, looking at Rong Dai with fear and apprehension.
Rong Dai gathered her skirt at her waist and tied a knot, wearing safety pants underneath. She couldn't care about proper etiquette now - survival was the priority.
With improved mobility, she crouched from the back seat to the front. Hearing Jing Chen's gunfire, the bullets hitting the car body had weakened significantly.
"Dai'er!"
Seeing Rong Dai slipping out, Song Xuechun screamed in fright!
Bang bang!
More intense gunfire followed, startling her into panicked tears as she hurriedly covered her mouth.
Jing Chen lay under the car, infuriated when Rong Dai suddenly appeared beside him!
"Why did you come out?!"
His task was to protect her - was she trying to become a target?
Rong Dai found a spot beside him and lay down, her exquisite makeup long ruined by the rain.
Splashing mud and water landed on her face, which glowed pale white and radiated a chilling coldness.
"I can help you."
Her tone was resolute.
Jing Chen was so angry he felt like having a heart attack. She didn't even know how to use a gun - not causing trouble would be a win!
