Chapter 2507

Baili Xia was slightly startled, her face suddenly flushed, guessing that he had probably overheard her words from last night.

However, she still took the fruit and stuffed it into her mouth.

She had made up her mind that she would protect Wu Ming this time.

Although, the image of such a formidable hero like Wu Ming needing protection seemed… indeed a bit bizarre.

But no matter how formidable, he’s still just a person of flesh and blood.

Everyone has moments of vulnerability.

After the two of them had eaten a few fruits, Baili Xia looked at Wu Ming and said, “Let’s hide inside a bit, if they come in we’ll have to defend ourselves.”

Wu Ming understood her thought, nodded, and tried to prop himself up to stand.

But now, not only his body but even his hands had little strength.

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, she quickly moved closer to support him.

The strengthless Wu Ming was really heavy, his entire weight pressed onto Baili Xia, almost knocking her down.

Baili Xia steadied her steps, then supported him, slowly inching further into the cave step by step.

Reaching the corner of the cave, she let Wu Ming sit against the stone wall.

They could see the entrance clearly from this position.

If the enemies really entered, they wouldn’t spot them immediately.

By then, as long as they stepped on the silver needles she set up, she could take out a few.

Moreover, in this place, where you couldn’t see your own hand, she could attack them before they adjusted to the light here.

Of course, the best scenario was that those people didn’t spot this place and all left.

But soon, Baili Xia was disappointed.

The footsteps that had disappeared suddenly sounded again.

“Boss, there’s a bloodstain here.”

A voice rang out, and Baili Xia couldn’t help but feel a jolt in her heart.

Bloodstain!

Even though she had gone out to deal with traces, some had been overlooked and got detected.

That deep voice spoke, seriously, “They must have been around here, search the area thoroughly.”

“Yes.”

Hearing them say this, Baili Xia became even more nervous.

They would soon discover this cave, a confrontation seemed inevitable.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, one of the men in black loudly said, “Boss, there’s a cave here.”

Baili Xia quickly saw figures moving at the cave entrance as they checked the entrance.

Those people seemed very alert, as the later conversation was hard for Baili Xia to hear.

However, she was sure that with such caution, they would definitely come in.

Less than a minute later, without anyone entering, a gunshot suddenly echoed from outside.

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, not knowing what had happened.

Wu Ming softly said, “They’re gathering their men.”

Gathering their people? Baili Xia’s eyes widened.

It seemed they were sure that they were hiding in this cave, thus calling in the dispersed others.

Although Baili Xia had experienced many dangers before, this time, she had to face so many enemies alone.

She couldn’t help but feel nervous, her grasp tightening with sweaty palms.

Wu Ming reached out, took her hand, and held it in his palm.

His deep eyes stared into Baili Xia’s eyes and asked, “Girl, are you ready?”

Baili Xia looked back at him, though not confident, she still nodded.

“Mm.”

Wu Ming’s lips twitched, and he gently said, “If we die here today, will you regret it?”
