“I’ll go out and keep watch first. You guys get some sleep,” Mei Shu said before leaving them and walking towards the shore.
With assassins ready to take her life at any moment, Jiang Hai couldn’t risk seeking help openly. He could only rely on the faint signal to keep sending out messages.
Mei Shu walked slowly along the beach, pondering their next move.
Since she knew a gunfight was imminent, she couldn’t afford to sit idly by.
Mei Shu found a stranded ship on the outer side of the island.
Boarding the ship, she found that it had at least several decades of history. Despite being weathered by time, traces of its past grandeur were still faintly visible.
Mei Shu picked up some useful items, found a spot that could barely shield from the wind, assembled everything, tested its sturdiness, and made sure it wouldn’t fall apart on the way back before taking them back with her.
“Boss, the person should be on this island.” The man loaded his gun, fully prepared before helping the woman off the boat.
Mei Shu quickly retreated into the bushes.
This was the second time she had seen Su Ling in person.
The last time, she had suspected that the torment she suffered in her previous life might have been inadvertently caused by Su Ling. But in this life, it seemed destined for a showdown between Su Ling and her.
As for the reasons behind this, Mei Shu could only ask her in person after dealing with the people around her.
[System, activate invisibility.]
Since those people already knew her secret, she didn’t dare to walk openly on the main road on her way back, lest she be tracked and her hiding place discovered by Su Ling’s people.
She crept low, careful not to make a sound, and returned to the cave before them.
Feng Wei was still asleep against the wall, her cheeks flushed.
Mei Shu deactivated invisibility and hurried over to wake them up. “Hurry, Su Ling’s people are here!”
Jiang Hai reacted swiftly, jumping up from the ground, quickly extinguishing the fire, and getting dressed. He stood at the entrance of the cave, observing outside. “They haven’t found us yet, but it’s not conducive to dodge bullets inside the cave. We need to get out first.”
“You should wear this too.” Mei Shu had already put on the homemade bulletproof vest when he turned away earlier.
Jiang Hai twitched his mouth as he saw the makeshift “bulletproof vest” made mostly of porcelain and hemp rope. “You spent all that time outside just to make these?”
“Yeah,” Mei Shu said matter-of-factly. “Porcelain can stop bullets. Put it on quickly; we don’t have time.”
“Alright.” There wasn’t a better option now. Although wearing this thing was cumbersome, it might just save their lives when it mattered.
After dressing up, they all sneaked into the bushes together.
Since it was Su Ling’s people who found them first, Mei Shu couldn’t rely on Lu Si.
Feng Wei was trembling with fear; she didn’t want to be captured and tortured again.
She grabbed Mei Shu’s hand, trembling as she spoke, “Are we just going to hide here? With their carpet-style search speed, won’t they find us soon?”
“Don’t worry. When they get close, Jiang Hai and I will find a way to deal with them one by one. Don’t make any noise,” Mei Shu instructed, then turned to Jiang Hai to discuss the strategy.
The current situation wasn’t entirely unfavorable to her.
She could consume her lifespan to see the future, which meant that she would not die in this gunfight. As long as she did not take the initiative to court death, at least this place would not become the node of her death.
However, Jiang Hai and Feng Wei’s lives were in danger. Therefore, as a last resort, she was prepared to take the risk and try to save both of them.
This was also why Mei Shu sought revenge on Feng Wei in advance.
She wanted to vent her anger first, then save her with peace of mind.
After discussing the plan to flank the enemy, one of the black-clad men sent by Su Ling had already approached.
Mei Shu and Jiang Hai acted simultaneously, catching the opponent off guard.
This move caught the other party off guard.
Relying on his height advantage, Jiang Hai directly strangled the other party’s neck from behind and covered his mouth.
Mei Shu struck swiftly and accurately, stabbing him directly in the lower abdomen, causing the man to faint immediately.
“Move him over there,” Mei Shu instructed before squatting back into the bushes to listen carefully to the nearby movements.
Feng Wei was completely stunned.
She looked at Mei Shu, whose face was splattered with blood but remained calm even while wielding a knife, and her heart raced nervously.
Was this Mei Shu’s true strength?
“What are you waiting for?” Jiang Hai urged impatiently.
Feng Wei quickly snapped out of it, hurriedly getting up to help, tossing the man into the tall bushes like a rag.
The surroundings fell silent once again.
Jiang Hai crouched beside Mei Shu, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. “What’s the situation?”
Mei Shu listened carefully for a while before saying, “There’s one person to the northeast, three to the southwest, but they’re far away. The nearest ones to us are in the southeast, and I can hear footsteps from two people.”
“Got it.” Jiang Hai didn’t seem surprised at all by her exceptional hearing..
