I listened to my sister's words today.

Jiang Ling woke up again, and saw endless darkness before her eyes.

There was dead silence all around, with only the sound of her own breathing echoing in her ears.

The dark space seemed to be torn apart by something, and a thin ray of light squeezed in from the crack.

As the light grew, I could finally see the scene in front of me. The little face, as pale as a piece of white paper, looked even more bleak under the dim light.

Jiang Ling lowered her head and suddenly realized that the burning wound on her chest had miraculously healed.

Before she thought about it, she caught a glimpse of a faint glow emanating from the little guy's slender palm. The light was like a firefly, but it was full of a kind of warm power, which seemed to dispel the fear and pain in her heart.

Jiang Ling was stunned, and suddenly understood in his heart: This was all due to Yiruo's power.

However, before he could completely calm down, a loud shouting came from outside.

The voice was mixed with urgency and anger, "Kill that monster quickly! Aim for the wings! Jiang Ling is inside!"

Before he finished speaking, another series of gunshots rang out, shaking the entire space as if it were trembling.

Jiang Ling's body tensed up, and the light around her seemed even more cramped.

At this time, Yun Yiruo used her flexible but powerful tail to tightly wrap Jiang Ling, like a protective umbrella, separating her from her sister.

Beyond her tail, her pure white wings spread out, enveloping the two of them.

However, the people outside refused to let it go.

Shotgun blasts rang out one after another, mercilessly shooting at the wings.

Each bullet accurately penetrated Yun Yiruo's wings, exploding into white feathers that scattered like fireworks and drifted in the dim space.

The feather trembled slightly when it fell to the ground, carrying a silent sadness.

Every time a shot was fired, Yun Yiruo's body would tremble slightly due to the impact, but she never uttered a groan of pain.

He just spread his wings wider to protect his sister more closely.

However, the bullets didn't just stop at the wings. The penetrating shotgun shells hit Yun Yiruo's tail, making a dull thud.

The tail was already covered with bullet holes, and blood dripped down the snow-white scales and splattered on the ground, like a blooming blood-red flower.

However, he did not loosen his protection of his sister at all. Instead, he tightened his tail even more and used his body as the last barrier to block all external harm.

Jiang Ling looked at everything in front of him, and felt as if something was grabbing his chest.

My eyes filled with tears, but now was not the time to get excited.

She must find a way to escape from this massacre, otherwise, both she and Yiruo will die here.

At this moment, the gunshots outside gradually became sparse, replaced by even more piercing roars and curses: "Why isn't this monster dead yet? Quick! Concentrate your firepower, don't let it hold on!"

The voices became more and more urgent, even mixed with impatience and fear. Jiang Ling keenly noticed that the people outside seemed to have begun to panic.

She forced herself to calm down and tried to find a chance to break the deadlock through Yiruo's wings.

At this moment, Yun Yiruo turned her head, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

The next moment, she flapped her wings violently, and feathers scattered around like snowflakes. They unexpectedly condensed into a radiant barrier in the air!

The barrier emitted a fiery glow, blocking all the bullets outside, and at the same time emitted a low roar, repelling the approaching enemies.

Jiang Ling was so shocked by this scene that she was speechless.

However, Yun Yiruo's face became paler and paler. Although the barrier was powerful, it was obviously consuming her strength.

Jiang Ling's heart tightened, and she could almost feel Yiruo's body trembling. The way she endured the pain and still gritted her teeth made it difficult for her to calm down.

"Yiruo!"

Jiang Ling whispered, her voice trembling and anxious, "Don't hold on any longer! You can't--"

Yun Yiruo shook her head slightly, a forced smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"Don't be afraid, sister... I can protect you... even if it's only for a moment..."

Jiang Ling's heart felt like it was torn apart. She clenched her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.

He raised his head and carefully observed the surrounding environment through the barrier of light.

I saw a vent in the corner of the wall not far to the left, which was about to be blown open.

The vent wasn't big, but it was big enough for two people to barely crawl out.

"Yiruo, we have to go!"

Jiang Ling lowered her voice and pointed in the direction of the vent.

"Can you still hold on? Hold on a little longer, let's get out of there!"

Yun Yiruo glanced at the vent and nodded, but the fatigue on her face could not be concealed.

He took a deep breath and flapped his wings again. The light of the barrier suddenly became brighter, forming a powerful shock wave that spread out in all directions!

"boom--!"

Amid the deafening sound, the enemies outside who tried to approach were shocked and retreated one after another. Some people even fell to the ground, and the weapons in their hands were knocked away.

Although the light of the barrier dimmed a little, it bought them precious time.

"Hurry up!" Yun Yiru urged in a low voice, and with a flick of his tail, he lifted his sister up and pushed her towards the vent.

Jiang Ling reacted quickly, half-knelt on the ground, grabbed the rusty edge of the vent with her fingers, and pulled hard, prying the iron mesh apart.

The cold rust residue pricked her palms and hurt her. She didn't care about it and turned to look at Yun Yiru.

"You go in first!" Jiang Ling said firmly.

"Sister, you first!"

Yun Yiruo shook her head and insisted.

However, during this moment of stalemate, the enemies outside seemed to come to their senses and began to organize an attack again.

A sharp gunshot pierced the air, and a bullet actually penetrated the edge of the barrier and hit Yun Yiruo's shoulder!

"Ah——!" Yun Yiruo groaned, his body shook, and blood gushed out from the wound.

Jiang Ling's eyes instantly became moist, and she suppressed the anger and pain in her heart.

He suddenly grabbed Yun Yiru's hand and said, "Listen to me, go in quickly! Don't waste any more time!"

Yun Yiruo gritted her teeth and finally stopped arguing. She dragged her bruised body into the ventilation duct.

Jiang Ling followed closely behind and quickly got in.

The moment they crawled in, the light barrier could no longer hold and completely dissipated.

"They're in the vent! Chase them!"

Hearing the shouts from behind, Jiang Ling's heart beat faster, but she remained calm and pulled Yun Yiruo to crawl forward quickly.

The ventilation duct was narrow and cold, and every inch of progress was accompanied by the harsh sound of metal friction.

However, Jiang Ling had no time to care about these things. She had only one goal: to take Yiruo away from here alive.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint sound of wind finally came from the front.

Jiang Ling was delighted and quickly quickened her pace. She kicked the vent open with all her might, and the cold wind from outside, mixed with the damp night air, blew in her face.

The two struggled to get out of the ventilation duct. Jiang Ling looked up and saw an abandoned construction site outside, with sparse lights in the distance dotting the darkness.

"Yiruo, hold on! We're almost there..." Jiang Ling hugged the weak Yun Yiruo tightly, her voice choked with sobs.

However, Yun Yiruo shook her head gently and said weakly, "Sister, I'm fine..."

Before she finished her words, her body suddenly began to grow cold, and her white wings slowly folded.

It curled up like a petal, and finally turned into a ray of light, quietly disappearing into Jiang Ling's arms.

"Yiruo!" Jiang Ling shouted loudly, but the only response she got was the whisper of the night breeze.

Jiang Ling hugged her empty arms, tears finally rolling down her face uncontrollably.

Kneeling on the ground, my heart was broken, and Yi Ruona's last smile echoed in my mind.

"Sister, live on..."

This was the last sentence Yun Yiruo left for her.
