Chapter 481: Chapter 477 Escape

“Damn, they’re catching up.”

Hummingbird cursed, glancing at the rearview mirror.

Hearing Hummingbird curse, Zhi Qi looked towards the back of the car, and sure enough, two SUVs were chasing them.

Those two SUVs looked familiar, driven by the assassins who had been pursuing them all along.

However, the cars that initially started the chase with five vehicles were now reduced to just two.

Though they managed to take out three cars of the assassins, Zhi Qi’s side paid a heavy price.

The two top-level bodyguards arranged by her family had both died in the initial encounter with the assassins, and during the second pursuit, the Phoenix Clan sent by Fang Xiaocao to protect them also met a tragic end. Half an hour ago, their car ran out of gas, and just as they switched vehicles, they were caught up again. Brainless was injured in this battle, and only then did Zhi Qi and Hummingbird manage to switch cars and continue their escape.

“Feng Nan, what should we do?”

Zhi Qi was really panicking a little.

“Don’t worry, they won’t catch up for a while, we still have a chance.”

Hummingbird skillfully accelerated, dodging obstacles, trying to shake off the pursuers.

But those two SUVs clung on like two pieces of Dogskin Plaster, refusing to let go.

No matter how much Hummingbird tried, the SUVs continued to trail their car steadily.

Tang City!

Taotie’s car was speeding fast.

True to the saying, flying too low.

Although it was a seven-seater business car, Taotie was driving it like an airplane taking off.

The annoying feeling of being pushed back made Fang Xiaocao silently grab the car’s handrail, fearing Taotie would throw her out of the window.

“Taotie, drive slower.”

Tom, seated in the passenger seat, said in a deep voice.

“Can’t go any slower!”

“I love this flying sensation.”

Taotie said with a grin.

Taotie’s words annoyed Fang Xiaocao.

She secretly regretted it, wondering why she had a brain cramp before departing, foolishly letting Taotie drive.

Now asking Taotie to stop was evidently too late; Fang Xiaocao could only pray that Taotie wouldn’t get distracted while driving.

One hour later!

Taotie navigated through the congested city streets and onto a somewhat rugged country road.

Now Fang Xiaocao understood why Hot Noodles only asked them to arrive within three hours.

It was because the road was so jammed; if not for Taotie’s reckless driving and skillful weaving through traffic, it would have taken at least another half an hour to break free from that congested section.

Even so, it still took an entire hour, extending the total journey time from half an hour to an hour.

The upcoming road, although rugged, was not congested.

If Taotie drove a bit faster, they should reach the destination in half an hour.

The border between Jin City and Tang City.

Bang—-

With a loud noise, Hummingbird jerked the steering wheel.

Desperately trying to stabilize the car.

That loud noise was from a crazed assassin who caught up and rammed into their car with the SUV’s front.

Hummingbird was helpless, but the car they found temporarily was of poor performance, a beat-up old car with an unknown number of previous owners.

There was no way it could outrun the trailing SUVs.

Getting caught was merely a matter of time.

Hummingbird and Zhi Qi were already mentally prepared for this.

Brainless, weak and listless in the backseat, got severely jolted by the impact from the assassin, causing him to stagger.

Ugh—-

Brainless directly fell out of the backseat, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

Brainless was severely injured.

During their vehicle switch, Zhi Qi and the others were surrounded by a top-level master, and Brainless exerted all his strength to fight to the death against that master, successfully covering Zhi Qi and the others to get into the car.

However, being only a first-class combatant, Brainless was heavily injured in the fight.

Especially his internal injuries, which were particularly severe.

Taking down a top-level opponent while being a first-class, such a feat of crossover assault, besides Fang Xiaocao, Brainless was the second person to truly accomplish this.

Hummingbird was stunned when witnessing Brainless’s battle with the top-level master.

Oh my gosh, a crossover kill!

Simply too cool!

Although Brainless was just a minor character.

But that didn’t stop Hummingbird from finding him cool.

This sort of crossover kill was a first-time sight for Hummingbird.

But showing off comes at a price!

And the price is significant!

Brainless’s wretched monkey-like appearance was the price for showing off.

Almost died!

But not completely dead yet!

Brainless lay there, completely drained of energy.

No longer having the agile monkey-like demeanor he used to have, after falling out of the backseat, Brainless struggled for quite some time, finally getting back onto the seat.

Seeing this, Hummingbird and Zhi Qi felt a pang of heartache; if it wasn’t for protecting both of them, Brainless wouldn’t have been injured at all.

And if it weren’t for the two of them being a burden, those top-level assassins wouldn’t have even touched a single monkey hair on Brainless.

Bang—-

Another loud crash.

Hummingbird’s car shook violently; despite her efforts to adjust the steering, the vehicle zigzagged in long stretches, leaving black skid marks with its tires tracing an S-shaped path, almost flipping the junk car by the pursuing SUV.

“Madman!”

Zhi Qi cursed in fury.

“Don’t let me find out who sent you!”

“If I find out, I’ll mobilize the Zhi Family’s forces to wipe them out!”

Zhi Qi’s eyes glinted with brutal killing intent, clearly harboring murderous intent.

Hummingbird shook her head with a bitter smile: “We’ll talk about revenge after we manage to escape this pursuit first.”

Glancing at Brainless in the backseat, who was getting more and more listless, Hummingbird said worriedly: “I fear this time, things aren’t looking good for us.”

Hearing Hummingbird, Zhi Qi wore a grave expression. Zhi Qi knew Hummingbird wasn’t making things sound more dire than they were, but stating facts.

“I’m the one holding you back.”

Zhi Qi sighed.

Hummingbird leveled the car and continued to flee.

She laughed: “Perhaps it’s us holding you back.”

Zhi Qi shook her head, thinking Hummingbird was merely comforting her, as Zhi Qi was still unaware of the massive trouble her good friend Fang Xiaocao had stirred up outside, with many forces wanting to kill Fang Xiaocao.

As Fang Xiaocao’s close friend, Zhi Qi was inevitably targeted by intent parties as well.

Bang—-

Their car got hit again.

This time, Hummingbird couldn’t control the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to lose control instantly, veering off towards the fields by the roadside.

“Hold on tight!”

In desperation, Hummingbird shouted.

Hummingbird tried desperately to control the wheel, hoping to pull the car back.

But it was all in vain.

The car was already out of control.

Hummingbird could only watch helplessly as the car sped into the fields.

Bang—-

A loud crash!

The car slammed hard against the embankment.

The engine stalled immediately, and the wheels sank into the soft mud of the fields.

Bang—-

The car’s airbags deployed.

Brainless in the backseat was thrown out once again by inertia, almost flying through the windshield.
