After leading those Abnormal Entities around the factory building for a while, Bai Yu knew she probably couldn’t last much longer if she kept stalling.
By the time her stamina ran out, even if she could still foresee the Abnormal Entities’ next attacks, her remaining strength wouldn’t be enough to keep running around.
It was a pity that characters in games didn’t need to worry about getting tired.
As long as you managed your energy bar, you could kite forever.
But reality wasn’t like that. After all, people get tired.
Although the current scene really called for a line like “Hehe, I will definitely survive,” considering the need to conserve stamina, it was better not to do that.
If she kept kiting, her stamina was going to give out.
She needed to find a place to hide and then contact Su Keke and the others.
As long as they got here, all the Abnormal Entities chasing her, including that Star Eclipse Society Member, would die.
After using a rusty machine to block the feathers shot by the Fallen Crow once more, Bai Yu seized the opportunity.
Taking advantage of the brief moment the monsters’ line of sight was blocked, she ran towards the depths of the factory building.
There should be a back door to escape through.
After that, she’d find the nearest place to hide nearby.
She didn’t need to hide for long, just long enough to send a message to Su Keke and the others.
Then, she’d figure out how to keep kiting.
Thinking this, Bai Yu gritted her teeth and continued sprinting.
Fortunately, the factory’s back door wasn’t locked, so Bai Yu didn’t need to spend extra time breaking it down.
Hearing the sharp shrieks coming from behind her, Bai Yu pushed the door open, rushed out, and didn’t forget to close it behind her.
Now there were two paths.
Left or right?
Just as Bai Yu instinctively wanted to go left, another precognitive scene flashed in her mind.
It was of her running left, just about to charge into a workshop, when the Quadruped Beast, which had been idle until now, suddenly appeared from somewhere and rammed into Bai Yu, turning her into Bai Yu paste.
This made Bai Yu immediately change direction and run towards the right.
Before those Abnormal Entities could find her, Bai Yu successfully rushed into the workshop on the right.
After quickly scanning the area with her eyes, Bai Yu finally hid underneath a machine.
Luckily, her build was quite petite.
Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to squeeze in there.
Alright, she had to hurry.
Bai Yu took out her mobile phone from her pocket, quickly unlocked it, and opened their department’s group chat.
[Bai Yu: I’ve encountered several Abnormal Entities. Help!!!]
After sending the text and also sending her current location information, before Bai Yu could even sigh in relief, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
“Search! She can’t have run far!”
Damn, they found her this quickly?
Bai Yu could only stare intently at her phone screen, waiting for a reply from those two.
Anyone replying would be fine.
As long as one person came.
With their strength as A-rank Ability Users, dealing with a combination of three C-Rank and one B-Rank would be a piece of cake.
But if they didn’t see it…
Bai Yu didn’t know how much longer she could hide here.
The problem was, why was this their only method of communication right now?
If those two were in the middle of a fight and didn’t have time to look at their phones, then Bai Yu would be in deep trouble.
So, wasn’t there any other way to communicate?
Even making a pre-arranged call in the group chat would be better than only being able to communicate via text.
Bai Yu stared dead at the screen in front of her.
For her, every second she waited now was agony.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to wait long.
After about ten seconds, she saw Su Keke’s reply.
[Su Keke: I’m on my way. I should be there in about half a minute.]
Half a minute…
Bai Yu glanced at the Star Eclipse Society Member who had stopped right in front of the machine she was hiding under, feeling a bit unsure in her heart.
She shouldn’t have been discovered, right?
If she was discovered now, forget thirty seconds, she probably couldn’t last even ten.
What should she do?
Keep hiding here, or take a gamble?
It was only thirty seconds. She should be able to hold on.
Bai Yu tried to activate her Precognition ability, but every time she actively used her ability, the effect seemed quite poor.
After waiting a second or two, she didn’t see any images.
What should she do?
Should she keep hiding inside, or go out and try to kite a bit more?
If she could just kite for another ten seconds or so, it might be enough.
Ten seconds…
She should be able to hold on.
Bai Yu tried to shift a bit outward.
The Star Eclipse Society Member was just standing in front of the machine.
If she crawled backward and hid behind it, she shouldn’t have to worry about being discovered.
As for how to kite next, her Precognition ability should help her make the right choice.
Just as Bai Yu had shifted half her body out, the Star Eclipse Society Member seemed to finally lose patience.
“Smash it! Smash this place to pieces. I refuse to believe that little bch can still be alive.”
Not good…
A grating noise reached her ears.
If she stayed here, when the machine collapsed, she’d be crushed flat immediately.
Bai Yu steeled her heart, quickly crawled out, and then sprinted rapidly in one direction.
“There she is! Kill her!”
Hearing the commotion behind her, Bai Yu could only continue to increase her speed while counting down silently in her heart.
“10, 9, 8…”
Unfortunately, the layout here wasn’t as complex as the previous factory building, making it hard to kite.
Now, all she could rely on was her own Precognition ability.
Several times, feathers shot by the Fallen Crow grazed past her body.
But since her Precognition ability hadn’t activated yet, she was probably safe.
Bai Yu continued to squeeze out her remaining stamina, speeding up to keep kiting.
Time passed second by second.
For Bai Yu, every second felt as long as a century.
The moment the silent countdown in Bai Yu’s heart reached zero, a familiar voice came from outside the workshop.
“Bai Yu, I’m here!”
The Blonde Girl charged into the workshop.
The instant she saw the situation inside, she raised her palm and rushed towards those Abnormal Entities.
The first to bear the brunt was the Fallen Crow.
The moment it was struck by the golden light erupting from Su Keke’s palm, it let out a sharp shriek, plummeted from the ceiling of the workshop, and crashed heavily to the ground, turning into the corpse of an unknown avian creature.
After dealing with one, Su Keke charged towards the other Abnormal Entities.
Under the effect of Su Keke’s ability, those Abnormal Entities all reverted to their state before being eroded by Star Eclipse Energy.
Seeing the situation turn bad, the Star Eclipse Society Member tried to run, but Bai Yu, who had been chased all this way, wasn’t about to let this opportunity go.
Now that he had no Abnormal Entities to back him up, it was Bai Yu’s turn.
She gripped the steel pipe in her hand tightly, took a swift step forward, and forcefully slammed the pipe down onto his back.
The Star Eclipse Society Member let out a scream, then his vision went dark and he fainted.
Of course, Bai Yu was just preventing him from escaping.
It definitely wasn’t a personal grudge hit.
Absolutely not.
Was Bai Yu the kind of petty person who would do that?
With the crisis resolved, the moment she relaxed, Bai Yu’s legs went weak.
If she hadn’t used the steel pipe in her hand to support herself, she really would have collapsed.
“Bai Yu, are you okay?”
Su Keke quickly came to Bai Yu’s side.
Seeing the wounds on her body, she raised her palm.
“Using my ability, I can probably revert you to your state before you were injured.”
Just as golden light began to erupt from Su Keke’s palm, Bai Yu reached out and gently pushed her hand away.
“I’m fine. Don’t use it.”
