Chapter 457: Chapter 290: Completely Chaotic_3

He couldn’t start it.

No one else could either!

In the few seconds he operated it, he suddenly heard Nick Horton cry out in pain beside him.

Bai Shi instinctively looked over.

Nick Horton’s thigh was suddenly stained red with blood.

"It’s nothing, keep running!"

Through gritted teeth, Nick Horton gave Bai Shi a determined look and, after hastily binding his wound with a bandage, took the lead and sprinted off.

The smoke bomb’s effect wouldn’t last long; they needed to find another place to hide immediately.

While fleeing, Bai Shi and Nick heard shouts and gunshots behind them.

Clearly, the armed personnel had reacted, donned gas masks to mitigate the effects of the chemical fog, and were now attempting to pursue them.

But, thanks to their familiarity with the terrain, prior preparations, and the brief delay provided by the smoke bomb—even with Nick Horton’s injured thigh—they managed to shake off their pursuers.

And eventually, they found a relatively safe location.

It was the entrance to an abandoned mine.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t keep running despite the fatigue.

The problem was that Nick Horton had sustained significant injuries during the fight.

The bullet had gone straight through his thigh.

Although it hadn’t hit the femoral artery, it was definitely not a minor injury.

They needed to stop immediately and check the wound.

After entering the mine, they quickly found a hidden corner.

Bai Shi skillfully used the medical supplies from his backpack to stop Nick Horton’s bleeding and disinfect the wound.

Fortunately, he managed it in time.

Aside from his pale face, Nick Horton didn’t seem to have any serious problems at the moment.

But.

They absolutely couldn’t continue running for the time being.

The two sat down to discuss their situation.

"Shh... we still have quite a distance to reach the safe zone," Nick gasped, "but at least we have a moment to breathe now."

Feeling Bai Shi’s urgent movements while treating the wound, Nick Horton couldn’t help but gasp in pain during his speech.

Even with the anesthesia, he faintly felt waves of phantom pain.

Bai Shi nodded, "Yes, we definitely can’t stay here long. We need to use this time to plan our route ahead."

His hands continued their medical tasks.

But privately, he couldn’t help falling into deep thought.

Hiding here was just a temporary measure.

Although they had left many misleading traces on the road and the chemical smoke had severely disoriented their pursuers, they hadn’t gone far.

Those five might not find them, or they might discover them very soon.

They could only stay here until tomorrow morning at the latest; they had to move immediately after.

Considering Nick Horton’s current injury.

It seemed that soon, they would have no choice but to find a working vehicle nearby.

Previously they hadn’t driven because driving made them too conspicuous, and they had preferred to blend in with the escaping civilians through disguises.

But now...

Nick Horton’s leg injury undoubtedly exacerbated the situation.

If possible.

Bai Shi naturally wanted to contact Chen Yun.

In his heart, Chen Yun was the most reliable option.

However...

Looking at the purple sandalwood gundam he still carried even while fleeing for his life, Bai Shi decided to abandon that idea for now.

If possible.

He wanted to avoid bothering Chen Yun as much as possible.

Even if it came to the point where he had to disturb him.

He believed that the purple sandalwood gundam Chen Yun had given him previously wouldn’t disappoint him.

For now, they would rest for a while.

Hopefully, nothing else would go wrong.
