Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Was it Just a Dream?

Fang Xiaocao felt she was on the brink of a mental collapse.

Watching Yun Luoshu, held by the Scar-faced Monster, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Raising her gun, she aimed at the Scar-faced Monster.

Fang Xiaocao screamed with all her might,

“Let her go!”

“I said let her go!”

Facing the breached Fang Xiaocao, the Scar-faced Monster grinned, revealing his signature sinister smile.

“Bang!”

Fang Xiaocao fired a shot into the air.

She aimed again at the Scar-faced Monster.

“I really will shoot!”

Fang Xiaocao screamed with all her might.

The Scar-faced Monster, wearing a sinister smile, slowly let go, and Yun Luoshu collapsed limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was furious to the point of rupture.

Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Fang Xiaocao mechanically pulled the trigger.

“Click~”

Until the magazine was empty.

She put down the gun, but the Scar-faced Monster had already disappeared.

Dropping the gun in her hand, she ran hurriedly towards the woods.

Now, all Fang Xiaocao wanted was to save Yun Luoshu!

Rushing into the woods, Yun Luoshu was lying there.

Fang Xiaocao walked towards Yun Luoshu, trembling incessantly.

Kneeling by Yun Luoshu’s side, she checked for breathing.

There was breath!

“Hu~”

Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

“Rustle rustle rustle…”

Suddenly, footsteps sounded abruptly. @@novelbin@@

Right behind her!

Fang Xiaocao swiftly drew another gun and shot behind her without hesitation.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three consecutive shots!

The homemade pistol belched flames, lighting up the dim forest.

Following the light of the gunfire, Fang Xiaocao vaguely saw a bright crimson flower blooming on the Scar-faced Monster’s body.

“Hmm…”

A muffled groan, so clear.

“He’s been shot!”

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao felt a surge of joy.

Holding her gun, intending to pursue, Fang Xiaocao hesitated.

She couldn’t leave Yun Luoshu behind!

If she left Yun Luoshu behind, who knows if the Scar-faced Monster might circle back from within the woods. The result could spiral beyond her control again.

Fang Xiaocao returned to Yun Luoshu’s side, fumbling on her body.

The gun on Yun Luoshu had been taken!

The Scar-faced Monster was armed.

“But…”

“Why didn’t he shoot?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

With one hand on the gun, she remained alert.

Stooping down, she pulled Yun Luoshu up, placing her arm on her shoulder as she staggered towards the camp.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Suddenly, three gunshots rang out.

Fang Xiaocao only felt Yun Luoshu’s body tremble, and a warm liquid splattered onto her face.

Fang Xiaocao dumbly touched her face, sticky and drenched in deep red.

Fang Xiaocao’s eyes widened in horror as she looked at Yun Luoshu…

Yun Luoshu’s head had exploded before her eyes.

“Ah~”

“Luoshu~”

Fang Xiaocao let out a sharp scream.

“Luoshu…”

Fang Xiaocao wailed in despair, her vision blurred by tears.

In her eyes, Yun Luoshu seemed to be smiling at her.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three more gunshots tore through the night.

Fang Xiaocao shuddered and slowly looked down.

Her combat jacket was covered in deep red liquid.

“Have I been shot?”

In Fang Xiaocao’s mind, her vision relayed to her brain the signal of being shot.

Pain!

As her brain received the signal, intense pain and weakness interwove, devouring Fang Xiaocao’s consciousness.

Fang Xiaocao’s eyes widened as she looked ahead.

The Scar-faced Monster smirked, the homemade handgun in his hand emitting wisps of hot air.

Fang Xiaocao instinctively raised her gun and pulled the trigger at the Scar-faced Monster.

“Bang bang bang!”

The Scar-faced Monster was startled and also pulled the trigger.

“Bang bang bang!”

The sound of gunfire, like firecrackers, erupted one after another.

In the dimly lit woods, flames spurted.

“Thud…”

A muffled sound of something heavy hitting the ground echoed as Fang Xiaocao and the Scar-faced Monster both fell.

Fang Xiaocao’s body convulsed, blood spurting continuously from the corner of her mouth, staining the grass beneath her red.

“Rustle rustle rustle…”

Footsteps sounded.

Someone slowly approached Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao, eyes wide, looked at the newcomer…

It was… Yun Luoshu!?

The next second, darkness enveloped Fang Xiaocao’s vision as her consciousness plunged into a silent abyss.

“Xiaocao, Xiaocao…”

In the abyss, a familiar voice called into her ears.

Fang Xiaocao tried to open her eyes to see the caller, but a splitting headache struck, causing her to lose consciousness again and fall into an endless abyss.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Fang Xiaocao slowly awoke.

Before her was a hazy starry sky.

“Wasn’t I shot?”

Fang Xiaocao blinked in confusion.

Upon closer examination, she felt a headache but not the intense pain one would expect from being shot.

“I didn’t die?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

Before she could fully appreciate the joy of having survived a calamity, the chirping of insects nearby reminded her of what a splitting headache felt like.

“Hiss–”

A sensation like needles piercing her brain made her gasp for air.

As she lay on the ground, eyes closed, resting for a long time, the dizziness and stabbing pain in her head gradually subsided.

Feeling a bit of her strength returning, Fang Xiaocao tried to get up, but a wave of weakness swept over her body instantly, causing her to collapse back onto the hard ground with a “plop.”

“Xiaocao is awake!”

A surprised voice called out nearby.

Pattering footsteps reached her ears.

Fang Xiaocao was startled and turned her head to look.

Before she could react, Zhi Qi, Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, and Yun Luoshu surrounded her.

“Xiaocao, are you alright?”

“Xiaocao, how are you feeling now?”

“Xiaocao, where are you uncomfortable?”

Everyone looked concerned, offering warm words of comfort.

Seeing them, Fang Xiaocao was confused.

“Isn’t it…”

“What’s going on?”

“Wasn’t Luoshu also shot?”

“And…”

“What happened after I was shot?”

“Why isn’t it painful?”

Fang Xiaocao’s head was full of question marks.

“What’s wrong with me?”

Fang Xiaocao asked with a hoarse voice.

Yet, her eyes unintentionally stared fixedly at each person’s face, searching for traces of wearing a Human Skin Mask.

“You suddenly fainted just now,”

“It really scared us!”

Su Wanqing exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao was startled again.

Looking at Zhi Qi, Zhi Qi nodded and said:

“We were just about to rest, and you said you wanted to go collect firewood with Luoshu. You hadn’t walked far when you suddenly fainted.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao instinctively looked at Yun Luoshu.

Seeing Fang Xiaocao looking at him, Yun Luoshu nodded and spoke, “Yes, you just suddenly passed out and fell straight to the ground. If it weren’t for the fact that you were still struggling, thrashing about as if having a nightmare, I would have thought you were dead.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao furrowed her brow.

Speaking without thinking, it was definitely Yun Luoshu.

Everyone present had a natural expression on their faces and showed no signs of wearing a Human Skin Mask.

“Could it be…”

“Did I really just have a nightmare?”

Doubts multiplied in Fang Xiaocao’s heart.
