Chapter 2505

These people must have discovered the blood trail Wu Ming left when he was injured and realized they wouldn’t last long, otherwise they would never be in such a hurry to chase into the mountains.

Baili Xia didn’t even dare breathe too loudly, squatting up in the tree watching them.

It had taken them this long to find this place; luckily it was nighttime and the traces weren’t that obvious.

The man walking in front said, “If you ask me, we should come back and look tomorrow. In the dead of night like this, you can’t see a damn thing.”

“No.”

Another man, who seemed to be their leader, spoke up to stop him.

“Boss said that guy took a bullet, he can’t have gone far.”

“Tonight is the best chance, we have to find them.”

“If we fail this mission, we’re dead meat when we go back.”

The man who had spoken earlier nodded and didn’t say anything more, continuing to search ahead.

Baili Xia felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest; she stared motionlessly at the four men drawing closer and closer.

Fortunately, those four only focused on the blood on the ground and didn’t notice Baili Xia hiding right above their heads.

Only when the four of them had completely gone far away and vanished from sight.

Did Baili Xia finally take a few deep breaths and quickly climb down from the tree.

When she’d escaped from the roadside earlier, she’d seen four or five off‑road vehicles pull up.

Just now that man had also mentioned the task their Boss had assigned them, so the ones searching for her and Wu Ming were clearly more than just these four.

Thinking of this, the anxiety in her chest tightened even more.

She didn’t know how Wu Ming was doing lying alone in that cave. If other people found the cave, what would she do?

Baili Xia didn’t let herself think further and immediately strode back toward the cave.

When she returned to the cave, she finally let out a breath.

The area around the entrance was completely undisturbed; those men hadn’t found this place.

Baili Xia strode into the cave and squatted down beside Wu Ming.

Wu Ming was still unconscious. Maybe he was just too weak; the wariness he usually had didn’t even register that Baili Xia had come in.

Baili Xia raised her hand to feel his forehead; it was still hot.

Since those men were determined to find them, sooner or later they would track this place down.

What should she do next?

If they went out, taking Wu Ming with her would probably get them spotted in no time.

Right, Brother You said on the phone that he would come pick her up.

Were his people also out there looking for them?

Thinking of Bei Tianyou, the spark of hope in Baili Xia’s heart flared to life again.

As long as they could hold out until Brother You’s people arrived, they would have a chance to live.

Baili Xia set the fruit down beside Wu Ming, then got up and went to sit by the mouth of the cave.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

She had to stand guard here and get Wu Ming back safely.

After sitting for a while, Baili Xia stood up again.

She took off the bracelet, pulled out a few silver needles, and stuck them into the ground.

Those men all knew she used this bracelet as a Hidden weapon, so they’d be on guard against it.

Both times she’d fired the silver needles, they’d managed to dodge.

She probably had to change her approach.

After setting everything up, Baili Xia went back into the cave and sat down beside Wu Ming.

Time ticked by, second by second; Baili Xia didn’t close her eyes once the entire night.

She kept checking on Wu Ming; finally, his fever broke.

A faint light slowly seeped in from outside the cave; dawn was nearing.

Just as Baili Xia was thinking that the night had passed in danger yet without disaster, a few footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cave.

Judging from the sound, there were about four or five people.

“You two go search over there. If you find anything, report to me immediately.”

Suddenly, a deep, powerful voice rang out, not too far from the cave.
