The gunmen aimed all their barrels at them, and yet they hadn't noticed while talking just now!
The gunfire rang out simultaneously with Ji Wei's voice, coming down on the three of them like raindrops. William, agilely dodging, was still a step too late; he was shot in the abdomen and rolled behind a nearby tree.
Gu Moqian protected Ji Wei and swiftly dodged.
The two of them frantically ran into the dark woods. The fallen branches and leaves underfoot caused Ji Wei to stumble several times, but fortunately, Gu Moqian caught her.
Rounds of gunfire trailed behind them, whizzing against trunks and leaves with sharp sounds. Several times Ji Wei thought she would be struck by a bullet.
They ran without knowing how far, and suddenly the gunfire behind them ceased.
Ji Wei was out of breath, her legs buckling as she leaned against a large tree, panting heavily. As she gasped for air, she glanced behind, into the pitch-black forest; no one was pursuing them, and there was no gunfire.
