The man looked around, seeing Zhao Dapao's faint figure dozens of meters away, barely visible in the exceptionally lush mountain forest.
Since the apocalypse, due to increased rainfall, less human logging, and fewer footsteps, plants have thrived, and the mountain forests are overgrown with vegetation and trees.
The man looked at the several men surrounding him, feeling extremely annoyed! If he could escape through the dense forest behind him, he was confident that with his experience, he could definitely get away.
But at this moment, the stumbling blocks in front of him seemed impossible to escape without dealing with them first.
Bang! Another gunshot rang out. Zhao Dapao saw a man running towards Song Min's direction, but he couldn't see clearly due to the trees.
Behind him, the person he shot in the arm was also nearing the edge of the forest. Zhao Dapao raised his gun and fired directly, aiming to kill as many as he could. He would kill this one first, then go after the other later.
Meanwhile, on Song Min's side, the shirtless man in front of her heard the gunshot and, without hesitation, pulled out a dagger from his thigh and charged towards Song Min and the others.
Song Min saw the shirtless man charging at her, his fierce appearance making him look like a tough opponent. She felt a bit uneasy. Remembering Li Yu's instructions, she no longer hesitated.
Instead of retreating, she charged forward to meet him directly. The three young girls beside her saw Song Min's action and followed suit.
Although the shirtless man's calf was injured, he moved with exceptional agility, dodging Song Min's long saber slash with a quick crouch.
He retreated, avoiding the long saber of the young girl beside him.
He only had a short dagger in his hand now; an inch longer, an inch stronger.
He felt a subtle anxiety, knowing he couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he charged directly towards the lively and cheerful young girl.
The young girl saw the man charging at her and felt a little scared, but she didn't retreat, standing her ground.
She still swung her saber at the man.
The shirtless man seemed to be a martial artist, evident from his earlier evasive maneuvers. He anticipated the young girl's movement, sidestepped, and with a slight shift of his feet, got close to the girl, slashing his dagger directly at her throat.
In an instant, the man seemed to sense something, quickly retracting his outstretched hand. The dagger grazed the young girl's hair, causing a few strands to fall.
So close!
As soon as the shirtless man pulled his hand back, Song Min's long saber came down from above.
The man's heart hardened. He simply charged directly at Song Min, taking advantage of the moment Song Min had just brought her saber down and hadn't yet had time to retract it. The man plunged his dagger directly into Song Min's stomach.
After one stab, his hand moved quickly, delivering another stab.
All of this happened in a flash, so fast that the two young girls beside them had no time to react.
After stabbing twice, the man immediately tried to flash away and escape.
As soon as he lifted his foot, he felt someone gripping his injured calf tightly.
The man turned his head and saw Zhao Dapao, less than 10 meters away, and his heart skipped a beat.
Immediately after, he looked down at his feet and saw Song Min, who had been stabbed twice in quick succession. She had slumped to the ground after being stabbed but was still gripping his injured leg, preventing him from escaping.
His eyes suddenly changed, erupting with boundless killing intent.
He plunged his dagger directly into Song Min's back. He had initially wanted to cut Song Min's throat, but it wasn't convenient from his current posture. He wanted to stab her once, make Song Min let go, and then use that opportunity to escape.
For him, escaping at this moment was the most important thing.
After one stab, Song Min was still holding on tightly. The two young girls beside them were holding their sabers, about to charge over. But seeing Song Min at the man's feet, they were worried about accidentally injuring her.
The shirtless man saw Zhao Dapao 10 meters away, who had already spotted him and was now aiming his gun at him.
He sighed in his heart! Just a little bit more! He clearly had a chance to escape just now.
It was all the fault of this woman at his feet. His resentment erupted, and the shirtless man wanted to squat down and directly cut Song Min's throat with his dagger.
Before he could squat down.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet struck him in the center of his brow.
At a distance of ten meters, Da Pao's accuracy was one hundred percent.
The shirtless man fell, his eyes wide with unwillingness.
Thud!
After the sound, Song Min struggled to see the man fall, and a faint smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Immediately after, she fainted.
"Song Jie! Song Jie!" The lively and cheerful young girl knew clearly that Song Jie had saved her, and then had been stabbed twice in quick succession by this man.
Now, looking at her older sister covered in blood, a mix of guilt, gratitude, fear, and worry erupted within her. She sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face, reaching out to try and staunch Song Min's wound.
"Song Jie, why are you so foolish? Why did you have to hold onto his leg and not let him run?" The other young girl saw the shocking stab wound on Song Min's back.
This stab was fatal.
Zhao Dapao, who had just arrived, also heard what the young girl said, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He remembered the first time he met Song Min, she was like a madwoman. Later, he saw her bravely leading these girls in resistance and survival.
And even later, she maintained a good relationship with the base. He never expected that now, she would risk her life to stop this man.
But why? Was it because of what Li Yu said back then, to not let anyone go?
He sighed. What should he do now? Given Song Min's current condition, a simple bandage might not be enough, unless...
Never mind, how to proceed is Li Yu's decision.
So he stopped thinking further.
He admired this woman. He directly took off his clothes, cut them simply with a dagger, and then looked at the two girls on the ground.
"Stop crying, she's not dead. Quickly staunch the wound and go to the car to bandage and treat it. There's medicine there," Zhao Dapao said quickly.
The girls on the ground quickly reacted, got up, gently helped Song Min up, and then simply tied a bandage.
Zhao Dapao looked at the two girls' physiques, then without thinking further, carried Song Min on his back.
He needed to take her to the car.
He got up and carried Song Min on his back, then ran towards the car. Before he had gone a few steps, he encountered Song Qi and Teacher Liu and others. As soon as Song Qi saw his sister unconscious.
He walked closer and found her clothes soaked with blood. He instantly lost control, running over, wanting to check on her, crying all the while. But he didn't realize he was blocking Zhao Dapao and their path forward.
"What are you wailing for? Don't block the way! Get her over there quickly so we can see how to treat her. Do you know that blocking the way now will harm your sister!" Zhao Dapao looked at Song Qi, who was nearly 180 cm tall and crying profusely in front of him, five centimeters taller than him, and couldn't help but scold him!
But very quickly, he remembered that this was a child still in middle school, not yet 16 years old, and it was his older sister. He then felt relieved. But seeing his height, he couldn't help but want to curse!
Damn it!
Song Qi quickly reacted, hurriedly moved aside, and stopped crying. His face showed sorrow.
Da Pao glanced at him, saying nothing more.
Song Min's close friends surrounded them, wanting to take turns carrying her, but time was short, so they didn't speak.
Everyone urgently ran towards Li Yu.
Saving a life is like fighting a fire; Song Min's condition was very dangerous!
