Chapter 1699: Fly Out
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Someone from the Red Team has escaped from the window,” the soldier with the communicator said. The next second, a sentence came from the walkie-talkie.
“I’ll go after him.”
The voice from the walkie-talkie was deep and powerful. That was a certain person’s usual style of speaking, which was concise and comprehensive.
Meanwhile, Liu Chao and the others were utterly dumbstruck.
“Did Miss Jiang just fly out?” Li Hong asked foolishly.
“What cool skills!” Liu Chao was so engrossed that he had forgotten what he wanted to do.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yao, who had flown out of the window, had already blended into the darkness.
At midnight, the forest was gloomy and dark. The denser the forest was, the less moonlight there was. Only the incomparably lush trees above their heads blocked out the moonlight completely.
Jiang Yao did not run slowly, but she could hear the pursuers behind her closing the distance between them even without her special hearing.
She thought that her speed was quick enough, but the pursuers behind her shocked her even more.
If she had to describe it, it was like they were a gust of wind.
Jiang Yao was not familiar with the forest, and she was not prepared to provoke its possible dangers, so she did not dare run blindly. She tried her best to run along the trail.
Jiang Yao did not know how long she had been running. Five minutes? Or had it been ten minutes?
The person behind her gradually closed in. She could even see the shadow behind her when she turned around.
Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and ran into the bushes behind a big tree. In the mountains in the south, that kind of ancient tree was everywhere. All those trees had wide trunks. However, Jiang Yao did not hide behind the trunk. Instead, she chose to hide in the bushes behind the tree. In the summer, the gra.s.s could easily grow to a person’s height.
In less than ten seconds, Jiang Yao saw a man with a gun appear in her sight.
The moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on the spot where he was standing. The spa.r.s.e shadows slanted, casting a shadow on his face covered in oil paint. His facial features made it seem as if they had been cast with a layer of illusory special effects light.
The large uniform could not reveal the man’s original figure, but Jiang Yao thought that he was not too thin, especially with his height.
That man chased after her and even caused her to go into hiding. That meant he was a capable soldier.
It was indeed the case. The man stood there and swept his gaze around before he fixed it on the position where Jiang Yao was hiding. He aimed the muzzle of his gun in her direction, then followed the bent gra.s.s and slowly approached Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao was annoyed. She knew that hiding was a stupid method. She had done that in a hurry and did not have time to erase her trails. Her steps had bent the gra.s.s in front of her. Anyone with a good eye and a high IQ would be able to guess that she was hiding there at a glance.
Jiang Yao raised her hands and made a surrender gesture. When the man stood still and did not come closer, she slowly stood up from behind the gra.s.s and revealed herself.
Jiang Yao smiled at the man who was staring at her.. She wanted to say that she surrendered, but she did not expect that the man would suddenly move and jump toward her like a wild leopard.
