The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2438 2438: Desperate Escape

“Wow, damn!” Seeing the drone circling above them and then slowly descending, Luo Ziling exclaimed in shock. He quickly handed the selfie stick back to Yang Qingyin, gave the horse a hard whip, and shouted, “Someone’s trying to ambush us with a drone!”

Yang Qingyin instinctively clutched the selfie stick to her chest, feeling a bit at a loss.

Saying this angrily into Yang Qingyin’s ear, Luo Ziling immediately urged his horse to run back to where they had come, intending to meet up with the others.

The drone, which was slowly descending, suddenly accelerated as Luo Ziling turned his horse to escape, chasing after them.

Luo Ziling had just stopped at a hillside. Once the horse picked up speed, it quickly ran downhill using the terrain.

The drone was also fast, and Luo Ziling couldn’t shake it off.

While pursuing them, the drone didn’t immediately lower its altitude but continued chasing at a height of several dozen meters above Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling called for support immediately.

Fortunately, he hadn’t turned off the communication system and had kept it with him, otherwise the others couldn’t have been notified.

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s call for help, the others immediately rushed over.

The person controlling the drone should have seen the situation through the camera attached to it. The drone speedily flew past Luo Ziling’s head and went ahead.

Seeing this, Luo Ziling quickly turned his horse in another direction and galloped away.

He knew that the drone was going ahead probably to attack him from that direction.

He wasn’t sure if the drone was equipped with bombs or other lethal devices, but he knew for certain that this drone wasn’t here for filming them; it was here to attack them. Regardless of the means of attack, he couldn’t give them a chance.

Luo Ziling thought of scenes from television, where expert marksmen would shoot down flying birds with a single shot while galloping at full speed. Or in historical dramas, shooting arrows at opponents or birds in the sky while running.

Unfortunately, despite his skills, he wasn’t good at shooting, so all he could do was watch the “drone” in dismay.

The drone, after going ahead for a while, quickly chased after them again.

The horse Luo Ziling was riding, although strong, was carrying two people weighing nearly 260 pounds altogether. After running fast for a while, its stamina couldn’t hold up, and its speed gradually slowed down.

Seeing a slope ahead, Luo Ziling didn’t hesitate to urge the horse to run up the hill.

Once they reached the top, Luo Ziling hugged Yang Qingyin, jumped off the horse, and then slapped the horse hard, causing it to run off in pain.

The drone continued chasing the horse. The person controlling it likely didn’t realize in time that Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin had jumped off, only noticing after chasing several hundred meters further.

By then, Luo Ziling, having jumped off the horse with Yang Qingyin, had already rolled several times and taken shelter behind a bush on the grassland. It was a bush at the foot of the slope, not very tall, but just enough for crouching down and hiding.

If anyone was nearby, they could quickly spot them.

Because the drone’s view couldn’t rotate as easily as human eyes, it didn’t notice them immediately.

After instructing Yang Qingyin to stay hidden in the bushes and not move, Luo Ziling got up and sprinted toward the direction of the horse that had stopped at the bottom of the hill. He knew that if the person controlling the drone wanted to attack them, the target would certainly be him and not Yang Qingyin.

Sure enough, the drone quickly detected his movement and immediately chased after him.

Luo Ziling’s speed was unmatched by ordinary people, and his agility was extraordinary. Zigzagging back and forth on the grassland, he ran very fast. Although the drone was quick, it lacked flexibility, so it couldn’t catch up with Luo Ziling’s running.

At this moment, the protectors also caught up.

They hadn’t ridden horses but had run over on foot.

Seeing the drone, they understood the situation and immediately started shooting once they were nearby.

Luo Ziling decisively issued orders, instructing a group to search for the person controlling the drone and another group to cover him.

At least four people immediately split off and searched in different directions.

Although the shots fired by the remaining group didn’t hit the drone, they successfully disrupted the controller’s rhythm, causing the drone to veer off course.

Luo Ziling, of course, noticed this and ran even faster.

Instead of running downhill, he headed toward a nearby slope with a significant drop.

The grassland wasn’t a plain; in many places, it had significant elevation differences and even small hilltops.

The grassland wasn’t only covered in grass; there were trees, bushes, ponds, and even rivers.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the rainy season for the grassland, and there hadn’t been rain for days, so the grassland wasn’t muddy, allowing both people and horses to run.

Luo Ziling’s running ability, honed in Qingfeng Village over the years, finally had a perfect showcase.

His speed was astonishing, leaving even those supporting him far behind.

However, human stamina is ultimately limited. After running like mad for a while, coupled with another hill, his speed naturally slowed down.

Finally reaching the highest point of the hill ahead, Luo Ziling stumbled a bit once he got on top and then lunged forward.

As he lunged onto the high ground, he fell to the ground.

He didn’t get up immediately, but turned his head to watch the direction the drone was flying, both hands clutching the grass, his legs kicking against the ground.

Seeing Luo Ziling fall to the ground, those supporting and assisting him were stunned.

They shouted loudly and charged over frantically, constantly firing at the drone.

Unfortunately, in their panic, their shots didn’t hit the drone.

The sniper stationed at the distance couldn’t aim at all.

The drone was too small, its speed too fast, making it impossible to lock on.

Amid the chaos, the drone raced toward the direction where Luo Ziling had fallen at maximum speed.

And on the other side of the slope, about two kilometers from where Luo Ziling fell, the person controlling the drone was a masked figure, showing only their eyes, mouth, and nose. Upon seeing Luo Ziling fall through the display screen, a sinister smile appeared on the person’s face.

“Go to hell!” he shouted viciously, cranking the drone’s speed to maximum and then pressing another button hard.

That button controlled the bomb attached to the drone.

Suddenly, an extremely loud explosion was heard from afar. Even from the masked man’s hiding spot, smoke could be seen rising, and the ground mildly trembled.
