Chapter 379: Racing to Death

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

She inspected Lu Zhiyuan's bracelet, watch, and other belongings, making sure there were no trackers. She couldn't help but frown. How come there wasn't a single tracker on him?

Gu Ci cradled Lu Zhiyuan's head. His face was pale, and his lips were as white as paper. Gu Ci's heart ached. She kissed Lu Zhiyuan gently and whispered, “Lu Zhiyuan, wait for me!”

When a person dies, all love and hatred fade away, becoming meaningless.

Gu Ci let go of him and tried to climb up the cave. The moss on the rocky wall was abundant and slippery. Gu Ci tried several times but couldn't make it up. Once, she nearly fell on top of Lu Zhiyuan, causing him further harm.

On her nth attempt to climb, Gu Ci fell again. Suddenly, Lu Zhiyuan coughed and slowly woke up. Gu Ci looked at him in disbelief and quickly climbed to his side.

“Third Brother, Third Brother… Are you awake? Does it hurt?”

Her eyes were red, and her hands were covered in scratches from climbing. Bloodstains marked her hands, and she cried and laughed at the same time. She knew she must look like a madwoman, but she couldn't care less.

“What happened to your hand?” Lu Zhiyuan looked at her hand, full of sympathy for the wounded palm.

“It's nothing, just some scratches. How about you? Does it hurt badly?” She wiped away Lu Zhiyuan's cold sweat. “I tried to climb up to find help. This place is remote, and even if they search for us, they might not find us.”

Lu Zhiyuan held her hand. The piece of glass had pierced his back when they fell from the cliff, but he had endured the pain and kept quiet. When they tumbled down, he had also sustained several other injuries, but Lu Zhiyuan didn't mind. He looked at the wounds on Gu Ci's palm with great concern.

“Silly girl, just waking me up is enough!” He struggled to sit up, and Gu Ci helped him. Lu Zhiyuan said, “Hold on to me tightly!”

Gu Ci embraced him, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Zhiyuan had carried Gu Ci into the forest. As soon as they landed, Lu Zhiyuan coughed up blood, and Gu Ci's eyes were filled with distress.

“Does teleporting hurt you?” She wondered. “If not, why didn't you teleport us out of the woods last night?”

“It's okay,” Lu Zhiyuan said with a weak voice. Without further discussion, Gu Ci carried him out of the forest. They had encountered the accident in the southern part of the valley and were now in the northern part.

This area was infested with poisonous creatures, and the path was treacherous. By the time Gu Ci had carried him out of the valley, her waist and legs were covered in scratches. She kept talking to Lu Zhiyuan along the way, trying to keep him conscious. Lu Zhiyuan had also held on, not passing out. However, after leaving the valley, there was no help in sight. They were under the scorching sun, and Gu Ci glanced in the direction of A City.

The mountain was more than fifty kilometers away from the city center, located in the suburbs. There were many towns in the suburbs, and the closer they were to the city, the more towns they would find. Gu Ci, struggling with the weight of Lu Zhiyuan, crossed a vast field and stopped a passing car.

The driver was a man who drove a van. He had a tanned complexion from years of outdoor work. Gu Ci had no money, but fortunately, Lu Zhiyuan's watch still had some value. She hoped the man would be willing to take them to the nearest hospital.

Initially, the man was reluctant to help, but seeing Lu Zhiyuan's injuries and his life hanging by a thread, he reluctantly agreed. Gu Ci made up an excuse, saying they had been on a camping trip and had fallen into a ravine. The man mentioned that there had been reports of people falling into the valley last night, causing a commotion. They had searched the entire valley but hadn't found anyone.

Gu Ci explained, “We fell just recently.”

Lu Zhiyuan was in clear consciousness. He asked the man for his phone, saying, “Big brother, can I borrow your phone?”

The man handed his phone to Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan called Ji Chi and gave him their location. Ji Chi was ecstatic, “Third Master, wait for us! Our teams are very close. Two teams are right by the edge of the valley, it'll only take fifteen minutes to get there!”

“Alright!”

After making the call, Gu Ci didn't call Jiang Junlin again, as Ji Chi would already know, and Jiang Junlin probably too.

However, before reaching the town hospital, several cars sped out from a junction ahead and blocked their path. Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci exchanged a glance, their faces turning serious.

The man with them had a hot temper and was now furious at being blocked for no reason. He got out of the car to argue with the people blocking their way. Gu Ci released her grip on Lu Zhiyuan, crawled from the back seat to the driver's seat, put the car in reverse, quickly turned around on the road, and drove away. The man heard the car engine and frantically chased after Gu Ci, shouting, “Hey, my car, you…”

He wanted to call the police but remembered his phone was still in the car.

The two cars quickly overtook the man and caught up with Gu Ci. Lu Zhiyuan took the man's phone, dialed Ji Chi's number, and said, “Gu Ci and 1 have been spotted. License plate A3DS63. We are on Provincial Highway 258.”

“Got it!”

Lu Zhiyuan's information was relayed to the operations room, and Rong Li immediately dispatched a tracking team. They located their position within three minutes. Ji Chi informed them, “Third Master, there are three vehicles from our side, about one kilometer ahead of you.”

The old van they were in wasn't very fast, and it was quickly caught up by the pursuing vehicles. One of the cars drove alongside Gu Ci and suddenly rammed into her. The van was flimsy and old, and it crumpled instantly. Gu Ci managed to stabilize the vehicle and pressed the gas pedal to the maximum, accelerating wildly. The two cars, one on each side, continued their assault, and the scraping of metal against metal produced a piercing noise with sparks flying.

The car windows rolled down, and firearms were aimed at them. Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci ducked down as bullets shattered the windows and passed above their heads. Gu Ci didn't have time to think about them; she pushed the gas pedal to the floor and sped forward recklessly.

“Third Master, are you okay?” Ji Chi was watching the high-speed chase on the monitor and was shocked. If there was another vehicle ahead, they would be in a deadly collision.

Rong Li quickly assessed the positions of his team members. The two sides were about to collide head-on. He had a small squad of three vehicles, all ahead of them, and they were just two minutes away.

However, the two vehicles in front continued to sandwich the fragile van. The van had no chance of withstanding this relentless assault.

Rong Li ordered in a cold tone, “We're half a kilometer from Third Master. Ram into them!”

It was a life-or-death order!

But the vehicles ahead, both Gu Ci's and the attackers', were traveling at speeds of over 150 kilometers per hour. Colliding head-on would inevitably result in a catastrophe.

“Understood!”

“Understood!”

The two vehicles at the very front finally received their orders. The voices of the Royal Guards were calm and resolute. Originally, the two vehicles, one in front of the other, quickly moved parallel to each other, occupying both lanes and leaving the middle lane empty. Even if it meant sacrificing themselves, they were determined to ram the vehicles that were closing in on Lu Zhiyuan's car.

Gu Ci also saw the oncoming vehicles ahead, speeding toward them at full throttle. Their three vehicles occupied all the lanes, while the opposing vehicles left the middle lane empty. However, a head-on collision at this speed would be certain death, leaving nothing but shattered bodies.

The two vehicles attempting to sandwich Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan also realized the situation. When two forces met on a narrow road, it was a test of who was more fearless. The enemies in these two vehicles were determined and didn't slow down; they continued their attempt to trap Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci.

In that critical moment right before the collision, the vehicle on the right ultimately panicked and veered into the field. Gu Ci's left-hand side vehicle, however, remained steadfast and collided with the Black Hawk Royal Guard's vehicle. The impact was fierce due to the high speed, and both vehicles tumbled off the road. The vehicles were instantly wrecked. The Black Hawk Royal Guard's vehicle had been heavily modified and was extremely sturdy, but it still couldn't withstand such a violent collision..
