Chapter 47: The White Rose
I was in awe that this was not a world I was familiar with.
Suddenly, Peony stopped, and her expression became extremely solemn. She turned her head to look at me, and there seemed to be ...... in her eyes A little daunted?
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"The agreement is null and void," said Peony, "you are good at it." With that, she turned and walked into the side alley.
"Wait ......" was about to call out to her, when out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a tall woman walking in front of her.
The woman wears sunglasses, a black windbreaker and black leather pants, and a low-necked cardigan inside, with an excellent temperament. Such a dress at the end of December in the northern city looks very thin. She walked towards me step by step, and for some reason, my instinct told me that she was the target for me.
Five miles away, I suddenly saw a tattoo on her neck, which was a white rose. The same as the tattoo on the belly of the peony! Instantly, a strong sense of crisis rose in my heart.
I didn't say a word, I just ran away. While running and looking back, the woman was very calm, and she didn't chase it, just walked slowly all the way, but the direction was always towards me.
When you come to a large square, there are many worshippers of unknown religions. Looking back at the figure behind him, there was no figure of the woman, so he held his knees and gasped, recovering his strength.
Suddenly, a pair of women's black boots appeared in my sight, and I looked up...... I saw the woman with the white rose tattoo standing in front of me!
"Tired of running?" There was no trace of emotion in her tone, "Do you want me to do it right here, or do you want me to go to a place where no one is there so that I can dispose of your body?" ”
Just as I was about to take two more steps back and escape, she stretched out her right hand, which had been in the pocket of her trench coat, and a black pipe hole in her hand was facing me.
Cold sweat flowed down the back of my head, and I was afraid that there was no other way than to temporarily follow her wishes to a place where no one was and then find a chance to escape.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd at the edge of the square, and then they hurriedly moved out of the way. I saw a military jeep rushing towards me like a chicken, and when it was about to hit me, it immediately turned around and crashed into the white rose woman. The woman took two steps back and saw clearly the person in the driver's seat of the Jeep, Peony. Without saying a word, he shot a bullet at her.
Peony lowered her head and helped me open the car door, "Get in the car!" ”
I got into the car almost instinctively, and then we left the place with a whistling sound.
"Why are you back again?"
"The 'coachman' was targeted, and as soon as I entered his yard, someone intercepted me," said Peony, "I can't be an outcast who has done such a big deal against me, and this time I was killed by you." ”
"And you're still here to save me?"
"Hehe, now that Fang Wei knows that I'm with you, will they let me go?"
"You should be better off running alone......"
Peony was stunned and sighed, "It's all death anyway, and I'm at ease if I return your personal affection." ”
"Fang Wei you're talking about the woman with the white rose tattoo? What is she good at? ”
"Track."
Our jeep ended up breaking down in a woodland a few kilometers outside the city, pierced through the hood by a hidden superb tree stump. Peony and I got out of the car and walked deep into the woods, Peony somehow got out of a GPS tracker, if you were lucky, you could find a boat by the river, then go to the nearby pier to find the human snake, and then go all the way to Port Velon.
We walked in the woods for about an hour, and according to the map on the location, there was a road not far away that connected Tianbei City to a certain pier near here. But it is easier to be tracked by the white rose on the road. I couldn't afford this difficult journey, so I asked Peony to rest for a while. Peony looked at me disdainfully, but agreed.
At this time, there was a sudden heavy snow in the sky. Peony looked at his watch and said, "It's already noon at this time, and at this rate, it will be difficult to get to the port before evening, so we will have to spend the night in this wood." ”
I was deeply impressed by her almost undisturbed breathing, and I gasped and said, "We didn't bring camping tools, so we don't have to freeze to death." ”
"I mean to make you ...... quickly," Peony immediately changed his expression before he finished speaking, and immediately covered my mouth and lowered my body. Of course I knew what she had discovered, the woods in winter were generally hibernating, and she was afraid of anything but the assassins who came after her.
I followed her gaze, and sure enough, two men in identical clothes appeared there shortly after, both with guns in their hands. Peony leaned very close to me and whispered in my ear, "Breathe at my breathing rate." Then my mouth was close to my ear, and I listened to the way she breathed and followed her.
The two men didn't notice us hiding here and went in the other direction.
Peony looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said to me, "There are still people around, they seem to have started to scatter and search not far ahead." ”
"Do you have a weapon?" I asked Peony.
She shook her head. So I took out my pistol and bullets from my bag and handed them to her. Peony looked at me in surprise and finally took it. Skillfully reloading bullets open the safe. Then I took out the dagger again, and Peony taught me two simple beginner positions, not to defeat the enemy, but to surprise the other party for a while in case of danger......
After a while, Peony made sure that there was no one around her, and hurried with me in a direction that she felt safer, and she walked very slowly to make sure of the surrounding situation.
"Our relationship is quite strange, you looked like you were going to kill me before, but now you protect me. To be honest, without you all the way, I would have burped. ”
Peony gave me a complicated look, "I've been instilled with the idea of living for orders since I was a child, and I don't know what to do if I'm alone. ”
Did she subconsciously take escorting me as this order? Indeed, one has to have a goal in order to unleash one's potential. And my goal now is to get to Sabai as soon as possible, and to call Lan Kexin at Port of Velon. First, I was also worried about Lan Kexin's later injuries, and secondly, I wanted to end this life-ending life as soon as possible.
"And...... I'd love to go to Port Veron, because that's a paradise for people like us. Peony's words made me deeply uneasy.
Suddenly, Peony stopped and motioned for me to squat down again. Soon, two figures stepped out behind a handful of tall bushes in front of them. And this time our luck was not so good, and the other party obviously found us.
The firefight took place in an instant, and when I came back to my senses, Peony was already pulling me behind a tree pole. When he found the other party, Peony took the lead in shooting and solving one without saying a word, and then fell into the current stalemate. I can imagine that the rest of the people on the other side will soon come after hearing the gunshots.
"Go get a gun." Peony said to me.
"What?" I've played chicken, and of course I know what she meant by pulling the gun line, which is to let me run to the side as bait and create a chance for her.
"Hold it off any longer, and when their people come, you'll die faster!"
"!"
I yelled, grabbed my head and rushed out. I felt a chill in my calf just a few steps after I ran out, and I didn't dare to think about what was going on, so I could only run forward as hard as I could. Soon after, I heard a gunshot at the trunk of the tree where I had been with Peony, and then the shooting stopped. I know it's Peony who got it.
Peony quickly ran over and checked me, and finally looked at my calf and said, "Luckily, it's just a scrape." "And I can't laugh at this time, because ahead I have seen the second wave of people appear.
Peony still took the lead, but this time his luck was not as good as before, and he was only hit by one of them, but fortunately, he shot off his firearm, and he himself lost half of his combat effectiveness. Then Peony didn't talk nonsense, put me in a hidden spot, and confronted another person while pulling the gun line.
And the person who was injured before was not idle, and actually touched me step by step. When he appeared in front of me, I held the dagger according to the qualifications that Peony had taught me, and the man was obviously surprised for a moment, but I didn't wait for the opportunity to come to Peony to save me, thinking that she was now too busy to take care of herself.
Soon he snatched the dagger from my hand, leaving two deep cuts on my hand and chest. The man stabbed at me, and just as I was cornered, a gunshot rang out from behind and the man fell to the ground.
I turned around and saw the peony with a filthy face like a goddess......
"You're hurt?" I asked, looking into her face.
"I ran too fast and accidentally hit a tree, it's okay, it's just a little bit of skin."
I was very touched in my heart, she must have been very worried about my situation at that time.
Peony checked my injuries again and said, "Let's get out of here first and then deal with the wounds, there should be a team of people." Also, you've run out of bullets for me, and it's just the last one. ”
