Chapter 55
Chi Yanxun carefully opened the door and looked out, seeing only moonlight and deep grass. He exchanged a glance with He Mingyue. Holding guns in their hands, the two stepped out.
Wen Jiafei followed behind carrying Shen Shuyu, with Shen Xili and Lin Xuyi bringing up the rear.
The six of them walked out of the Safe House, still not seeing the giant snake. Shen Shuyu muttered in his heart, wondering, Did the giant snake run away?
Just as his thoughts were messy, a hissing sound suddenly came from behind.
“Hissâ”
“Hissâ”
“Hissâ”
Several faint sounds, but everyone heard them clearly.
The direction of this sound wasâbehind!
Chi Yanxun and He Mingyue immediately turned around to look. Shen Shuyu also subconsciously wanted to turn his head, but another hand reached from the side and pressed the back of his head down, preventing him from looking back.
Shen Shuyu was forced to bury his head in Wen Jiafei’s shoulder. The next second, he heard Shen Xili say, “Don’t look.”
His hair rubbed against Wen Jiafei’s neck, making him itch a bit. He tilted his head imperceptibly, then looked sideways toward the back.
On top of the Safe House, a giant python was coiled on the roof. A pair of huge eyes stared at them motionlessly, mouth slightly open, forked tongue flicking out, making hissing sounds.
Lin Xuyi couldn’t help exclaiming, “Holy shit!”
No wonder the Young Master was scared like that just now. Anyone seeing this suddenly would have their soul scared away. Even though he was mentally prepared, staring at the big snake now, he couldn’t help getting goosebumps all over.
Truly terrifying.
Knowing it had been discovered, the giant python raised its head and made louder noises, its body beginning to wriggle. Shen Xili said, “Not good, it’s about to attack.”
Hearing this, Shen Shuyu unconsciously hugged Wen Jiafei tighter.
Shen Xili looked at Wen Jiafei. “You go first, we’ll cover the rear.”
After speaking, he pulled out the gun from his waist. Bang bang bang, three shots at the giant python.
Guns were effective against the giant python. All three shots hit the python squarely. Blood gushed out from the wounds like flowing water. It let out a painful cry, its whole body twisting. The Safe House underneath shook along with it. The next second, the Safe House snapped directly like a brittle stick!
The giant python’s eyes gradually turned from yellow to deep red. It rushed toward them with extreme speed. Chi Yanxun, He Mingyue, and Shen Xili also charged forward to attack.
Lin Xuyi took out the drug powder from his bag and threw it hard, aiming straight for one of the python’s eyes!
But this python was simply too big and mutated; this bit of drug powder had no effect on it at all. He gritted his teeth, pulled out his handgun from his bag, and went to meet it.
Wen Jiafei carried Shen Shuyu toward the forest. Shen Shuyu couldn’t help looking back in the end. The four of them had surrounded the giant python, but the odds of winning were slim.
Shen Shuyu’s scalp went numb, but he calmed down a lot. He said, “How about you put me down.”
Wen Jiafei stopped. Shen Shuyu said, “Go help them. I’ll just hide myself. After all, if they are eliminated by the giant python, we won’t get first place either, let alone the prize money.”
Wen Jiafei participated in this Survival War for the prize money. His mother lying in the hospital ward had improved after treatment, but the follow-up costs remained expensive. Although the salary Shen Shuyu offered was the sum of several of his jobs, it still wasn’t enough.
Shen Shuyu said, “Don’t worry, I asked you to put me down this time. When we get first place, I’ll still give you my share of the prize money. I, Shen Shuyu, keep my word.”
Wen Jiafei came back to his senses. He silently put him down. Shen Shuyu limped to the nearest tree. He waved at Wen Jiafei. “Go, Wen Jiafei, I believe in you.”
His eyes were bright, exceptionally bright even in the night.
Wen Jiafei pursed his lips and looked at Shen Shuyu silently. A few seconds later, he turned and walked toward the giant python.
Only after he left did Shen Shuyu sigh. He rememberedâthis was the prelude before his troublemaking. The original novel wrote that they got separated due to a Zerg attack. He and Shen Xili met first while looking for the main group. The two disliked each other at this point, but the original host wore all emotions on his face, while Shen Xili hid them deep in his heart.
But as an Alpha, protecting an Omega was every Alpha’s responsibility. Moreover, Shen Shuyu was his teammate, so he protected the original host everywhere. But because of jealousy over Chi Yanxun’s ‘special treatment’ of Shen Xili, the original host wanted Shen Xili eliminated so he wouldn’t hover around Chi Yanxun. Thus, upon discovering a deep pit, he unhesitatingly pushed Shen Xili in and ran away. Unexpectedly, not long after he left, Chi Yanxun also walked along this path. He found Shen Xili in the pit and tried every means to save him. Afterward came the heart-to-heart night talk between the two, allowing Chi Yanxun to understand Shen Xili better and planting the seeds of love.
Shen Shuyu unconsciously pulled at the weeds beside him. Leaving aside other things, just this ‘mutual dislike’ was very questionable right now.
He felt Shen Xili didn’t hate him, and actually protected him quite a bit.
“Sigh.” Shen Shuyu sighed. Can only take it one step at a time now.
The five people entangled with the giant python were more or less exhausted. Although the giant python also suffered many injuries, its attack power still couldn’t be underestimated.
Shen Xili gasped for air, holding his short knife in his right hand. On the short knife was bright red blood, dripping continuously down the blade.
This was mixed blood of him and the giant python. He just gave its tail a fierce stab, but was also whipped by it. His arm was cut by its tail, but fortunately, he dodged in time. The wound wasn’t big; with an Alpha’s self-healing ability, it would probably be fine by tomorrow.
Chi Yanxun shouted from the side, “This won’t work; we’ll all perish here. Scatter and run, meet at the next Safe House!”
After speaking, Chi Yanxun rushed up quickly again. The pain on the giant python’s body was already unbearable, and its rage was extremely high. Seeing Chi Yanxun rush up, it hissed and charged at Chi Yanxun.
Seeing this, Chi Yanxun roared, “Go quickly!”
The other four looked at each other, collected their things, and left nimbly.
Shen Shuyu kept watching the battle. Seeing the few people leave, he knew the plot was starting. He limped, preparing to leave too, but caught a glimpse of two people walking toward his position from the corner of his eye.
One was Wen Jiafei, the other was… Shen Xili?!
Wen Jiafei coming to find him, he could understand. But why was Shen Xili coming over???
Shen Shuyu couldn’t leave, nor could he stay. He watched helplessly as the giant python noticed the departure of the group, gave up the duel with Chi Yanxun, and rushed to chase Shen Xili. After all, Shen Xili wounded it, and couldn’t run too far.
Just then, Wen Jiafei threw something unknown at him, then turned his steps, luring the giant python toward the other side of the forest.
Dragging his injury, Shen Xili quickly found Shen Shuyu. He said, “Go quickly.”
Considering Shen Shuyu’s leg injury, just as he was about to squat down to carry him, Shen Shuyu grabbed his hand. “Run.”
Actually, after applying medicine, his knee was much better than at the start. Now that Wen Jiafei lured the giant python away, buying them a lot of time, he could make it walking by himself!
Besides, he had to push Shen Xili into a pit later. If he let him carry him now, when the plot arrived, he wouldn’t have the heart to do it.
Sigh! Shen Shuyu felt that being this cannon fodder was simply too hard!
