However, as soon as they stepped out of the factory's somewhat dilapidated gate, an ominous premonition instantly welled up in their hearts. Looking around, they saw that the once bustling streets were now unusually deserted, with hardly any pedestrians in sight except for the occasional gust of cool wind that stirred up a few fallen leaves.

But that wasn't the most unsettling part. What truly made their hearts race and their breathing quicken were the figures lurking in the shadows—the enemy's informants! These informants, like ghosts, lurked in every corner. Some hid behind the closed shutters of street shops, revealing only a pair of wary eyes; others lurked in the shadows of alleyways, clutching gleaming weapons.

Ye frowned deeply, his already serious face now appearing even more grave. He knew the situation was extremely critical; if they couldn't devise a solution quickly, they might indeed be buried here, just as the enemy desired.

Yu Yaoyao gasped for breath, her chest heaving. She braced herself against her knees, trying to calm her rapid breathing, but still said firmly, "No matter what, even if there are many difficulties and dangers ahead, we must never give up! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must persevere to the end!"

Beside him, Shiratoya's eyes shone brightly, revealing unwavering determination and courage. He stared intently at the lone motorcycle parked by the roadside in the distance, pointed at it without hesitation, and shouted, "Look there! We can escape this place on motorcycles! This might be our only chance to get out of this predicament!"

Just as Bai Taoyi's anxious shouts rang out, the three of them, as if by telepathy, took off almost simultaneously, rushing towards the motorcycle like the wind. Ye Qi was agile and nimble, leaping onto the seat in the blink of an eye. His long, slender, and dexterous hands swiftly and accurately inserted the key into the lock, and without hesitation, turned the ignition switch.

In an instant, a deep yet exceptionally powerful roar erupted from the engine, like a long-dormant beast suddenly awakening. The sound was deafening, echoing through the sky, and instantly invigorating everyone present.

Meanwhile, Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi had already sped up to the motorcycle. Without any hesitation, they leaped up and landed steadily on the back seat like light birds. However, before they were even fully seated, Ye had already forcefully twisted the throttle.

In an instant, the motorcycle shot off like an arrow, carrying immense force. Its wheels spun wildly, screeching violently against the ground, kicking up clouds of dust that billowed like a yellow dragon soaring and dancing in the air.

Behind them, enemy vehicles, like ferocious wolves, relentlessly pursued them. Their engines roared like hungry beasts, their jaws clenched on the fleeing targets. The vehicles accelerated recklessly, their wheels screeching against the pavement, kicking up clouds of dust that filled the air.

However, at this moment, the three people desperately fleeing had no time to consider the danger relentlessly pursuing them. Their hearts were pounding, their breathing was rapid like bellows, but only one unwavering thought remained in their minds—they had to escape this terrible pursuit as soon as possible and get far away from this place full of trouble and danger!

The car darted through the narrow, winding streets, weaving left and right like a nimble fish. The driver skillfully maneuvered the steering wheel, constantly avoiding obstacles on either side of the road, sparks flying as the car scraped against the walls. The passenger and those in the back stared nervously behind them, their faces filled with terror.

Despite their best efforts to shake off the enemy, the pursuers remained relentlessly close, not only refusing to escape but actually closing in. Moreover, the enemy relentlessly hurled objects at their vehicle, attempting to launch a sneak attack. Debris whistled through the air, some striking the car and sending sparks flying, others whizzing past the windows – a truly perilous situation.

At that critical moment, a sharp bamboo skewer flashed past like lightning, easily grazing Yu Yaoyao's delicate shoulder. Instantly, a piercing pain surged through her like a tidal wave, causing her to gasp in pain and her face to turn as pale as paper.

Seeing this, Bai Taoshi was extremely anxious. He quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Yu Yaoyao's injuries. Blood was gushing from the wounds, staining her clothes red—a shocking sight. A surge of worry and self-reproach welled up in Bai Taoshi's heart. He tightly grasped Yu Yaoyao's hand and shouted, "Hang in there! We'll be out of this soon!"

At the same time, Ye Qishi, who was driving, slammed on the gas pedal, and the car shot off like an arrow, turning into a seemingly quiet and deserted alley. However, to their surprise, the alley turned out to be a dead end! Seeing that there was no way forward, Ye Qishi's heart sank.

"What should we do?" Yu Yaoyao asked anxiously, her voice trembling slightly with fear.

Ye frowned and gritted his teeth. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only get out of the car and find a safe place to hide!" Before he finished speaking, he decisively stopped the car, opened the door, and jumped out.

The three hurriedly got out of the car, looked around, and noticed a pile of abandoned junk boxes not far away. So, they helped each other up and tiptoed towards the junk boxes, quickly hiding among them.

Just as they had concealed themselves, a screeching sound of brakes rang out, and the enemy vehicle came to a smooth stop at the alley entrance. Several fierce-looking, burly men jumped out of the vehicle, armed, and began searching for them.

"Search thoroughly!" a leader-like man shouted.

The footsteps grew closer, and Ye and the others' hearts were in their throats.

Just then, a torrential downpour began, the sound of which drowned out their breathing.

The enemy's search yielded no results for the time being, and they began to grow impatient.

"Go look elsewhere!" the leader roared.

After the enemy left, Ye and his men breathed a sigh of relief. But they knew the danger was not over yet.
