Tomb Raider: What kind of heroine is she?

Chapter 50: The Inescapable Assassination

Ah San held the extremely sharp knife in his hand, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes vigilantly scanned every corner around him. After a long period of tension and fatigue, he felt extremely exhausted, but he still did not dare to relax at all.

Zhang Xingxing, who was standing by, was as pale as paper, and her body was leaning limply on Ah San's shoulder, as if she would fall down if the wind blew. She looked extremely weak, and had obviously reached her limit.

For some reason, Zhang Xingxing had been running a fever. The doctor didn't know what was wrong. Zhang Xingxing even tried the spring water in the space, but it didn't work. He still had a high fever after drinking it.

To make matters worse, they were constantly attacked by unidentified assassins. These assassins seemed to know their whereabouts very well, and they could always find them and launch surprise attacks. Although the two men repelled the enemies again and again with their agility, they gradually felt powerless in the face of the constant assassinations.

Over the past two days, they have been in a state of high alert and could only sleep outdoors in the deserted wilderness. Their bodies and minds have already been tortured.

There were some rustling sounds coming from above their heads. It was Monkey Brother who found some fruit for them. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned together and nibbled on the fruit. Zhang Xingxing didn't have much strength, so he nibbled on it in small bites.

Suddenly, Asan stopped as if he had noticed something, and made a gesture to Zhang Xingxing. Zhang Xingxing nodded in understanding, and the two men and the monkey hid.

Time passed by minute by minute, and a noisy sound of footsteps came from far away. Then, a group of people appeared where they had just stopped. They looked serious and nervous, wearing dark clothes, and their faces were very ordinary. The leader was muscular and was a martial artist. He looked around. He made a gesture, and the people around him immediately began to disperse and conduct a carpet search around.

Ah San saw that someone was about to find Zhang Xingxing, so he had no choice but to pretend to be exposed and lead them away. He threw a stone, then made a gesture to Zhang Xingxing to hide for a while and come back to find her, and then ran away immediately.

Sure enough, the group of people chased after them. Zhang Xingxing looked at everything in front of her, but she was powerless. She could only keep telling herself to trust Ah San. But for some reason, she felt a suffocating feeling in her heart. The next second, she heard some gunshots one after another. The sound made her head hurt. Not long after, she seemed to hear the gunshots stop, and then a bloody figure pulled her and kept running deep into the dense forest.

She tried hard to keep up with the pace, the smell of blood lingering around her nose like a shadow, and Ah San's intermittent voice was still in her ears.

"Hurry...Run. This is coming for the Saint."

The next moment, someone beside Zhang Xingxing moved forward by inertia, bringing her down with him. At this moment, she had no time to care about the severe pain caused by the collision. She quickly got up and reached out to help Ah San, but when her palm touched the other person's body, she felt a strange feeling - sticky and wet.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly opened her palm to check. What she saw was a hand full of blood! Blood, so much blood that Ah San's back was soaked. Zhang Xingxing's eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

Is this real? It must be a dream. When I wake up from the dream, Ah San is still beside me, right? Then I pinch myself hard, it hurts.

"Xiao...Xiao Wu...I can't leave. You should run quickly. Their goal is to kill the Saintess of the Zhang Family. I heard it. They have other people nearby. If they hear the noise, they will come here immediately. Be careful of the Phoenix..."

Ah San coughed up a mouthful of blood. It turned out that he had many gunshot wounds on his back and was bleeding continuously. Zhang Xingxing wanted to help him but when he touched Ah San, blood would keep coming out of his mouth. Zhang Xingxing's tears kept flowing as he hugged Ah San and said.

"Third brother, hold on, I will save you. I have..."

Before she could finish, a gunshot rang out, and Zhang Xingxing's face was splattered with blood. Then she saw a bullet hole in the head of the third brother, his eyes were dark, and his mouth was still open, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Zhang Xingxi looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and saw several people standing in the distance, holding guns and pointing them.

Zhang Xingxing's brain seemed to be broken at this moment, and there was only one thought in his mind: run, run fast.

Then there was a continuous sound of gunfire, and Zhang Xingxing could only keep running forward. She felt as if she was also hit, but she didn't dare to stop.

Finally, she stopped because she ran to a fast-flowing river. Zhang Xingxing couldn't swim and couldn't cross it. She looked at the wound on her body and it hurt so much.

Then the group of people arrived. Zhang Xingxing wanted to fight with them. As soon as she raised her hand to touch someone's sleeve, she was shot in the heart and fell into the deep river. The torn sleeve was in her hand. She saw that the man seemed to have a red tattoo on his shoulder. The next second, she saw Monkey Brother jumping into the water to save her. She opened her mouth to let it run away, but her mouth could only spit out bubbles in the water.

Instantly, several gunshots rang out. A large amount of blood spurted out. Zhang Xingxing saw everything in front of him, and his eyes went dark.
