Fang Xiaocao led the way at the front while Hummingbird, carrying Xiaozhou on her back, followed closely, racing against time toward the exit. Although Xiaozhou's bleeding had stopped, she was still too weak to hurry on her own.
Several times, she nearly passed out.
Fortunately, they encountered no danger along the way.
The bombs that Tom had set up had either been triggered or disarmed by the mercenaries who entered after them; otherwise, just those traps could have been enough to stop their progress.
After relentless traveling, the exit was finally within sight when suddenly, a light "crack" sound came from behind. Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird immediately stopped and turned their heads alertly to look back.
They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
"Did you step on something?"
Fang Xiaocao tentatively asked.
Hummingbird shook her head, "It wasn't me!"
"The sound seemed to come from behind us!"
