Zhang Zixi found a clan member with more seniority to help Zhang Qishan enter the ancient building.

Later, Zhang Qishan regained his sanity.

"Brother! Are you okay? Are you okay?" Zhang Zixi saw Zhang Qishan coming out holding Yin Xinyue's hand, and hurriedly ran up to ask about his situation.

"It's okay, don't worry." Zhang Qishan responded to his sister's concern with a smile.

"Then you guys go back first. I'll go say goodbye to that grandpa and leave later." Zhang Zixi said to Zhang Qishan after sending everyone outside.

Zhang Qishan nodded and motioned her to go, then thought for a moment and turned to Adjutant Zhang.

"Adjutant, you stay with her."

Zhang Zixi returned to the Zhang family’s residence, thanked everyone, said goodbye, and left with Adjutant Zhang.

But they never expected that Lu Jianxun had discovered their whereabouts and had no intention of letting them return to Changsha City safely.

Fortunately, Lu Jianxun was a step slower, while Zhang Qishan, Yin Xinyue and Qi Tiezui set out a little earlier and luckily missed Lu Jianxun.

But Zhang Zixi and Adjutant Zhang were not so lucky. After leaving the Northeast, they happened to meet the well-prepared Lu Jianxun.

With their skills, it should have been easy for them to avoid Lu Jianxun's tricks, but Lu Jianxun knew that his people were not strong, so he chose to adopt the human wave tactic.

The heavy encirclement and the guns in their hands made it impossible for even the most skilled of the two to escape.

Adjutant Zhang had limited bullets in his gun and had no way to completely break through Lu Jianxun's encirclement.

In fact, Zhang Zixi's marksmanship is no less than that of Zhang Qishan and Adjutant Zhang, who are both soldiers, but if the gun is out of bullets, it will be useless.

The two men discussed cooperation, and the responsibility of breaking the encirclement fell on Adjutant Zhang, but he alone could hardly defeat so many guns, not to mention that he only had a rifle in his hand.

When the situation was critical, he was not paying attention and was almost killed by a bullet.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zixi rushed forward and leaned sideways to block the bullet for him. The bullet passed by Adjutant Zhang but pierced heavily into Zhang Zixi's shoulder blade.

Upon seeing this, Adjutant Zhang sped up the pace of the breakthrough, accurately calculated the only bullets in his hand, and finally broke an exit in Lu Jianxun's human encirclement, and quickly protected Zhang Zixi and escaped together.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, which helped them. In order to avoid Lu Jianxun's pursuit, the two of them hid in a relatively secluded cave on the mountainside to rest.

The bullets in Zhang Zixi's body penetrated deeper and deeper while she was running away. At this moment, she and Adjutant Zhang were slumped on the ground, leaning against the mountain wall, catching their breath and resting.

"So tired..." This was Zhang Zixi's last reaction before she fell into a deep sleep.

Adjutant Zhang, who was standing by, became worried when he saw Zhang Zixi falling into a coma with her head slightly tilted. He didn't know the extent of Zhang Zixi's injuries.

"Miss! Miss! Wake up!!! Don't sleep!" Adjutant Zhang quickly put his arm around her shoulders, let Zhang Zixi rest her head in his arms, and gently shook her body to keep her awake.

"Hmm..." Zhang Zixi was awakened by him, opened her eyes hazily and looked up at him.

"Don't... don't sleep yet, miss. You can't sleep now!!" Adjutant Zhang wanted to keep her awake, but he felt sorry for her. His tone was full of anxiety and worry.

"But... I'm really tired..."
