A Life-or-Death Escape

So the two of us immediately hid on the second floor.

Before long, everything outside became deathly quiet. Then Han Qianqian appeared.

Chapter 28: A Life-or-Death Escape

In another building, Teacher Ma said calmly, "Don't be afraid. According to my research, she won't enter here during the first twenty minutes. But once she comes here, she'll search thoroughly."

"So we'll hide here for twenty minutes, then move to another place. We have to avoid making any movement as much as possible to keep her from discovering us."

And so, they waited in silence. Twenty deathly quiet minutes passed without anything happening.

Han Qianqian came to the second floor. Her gaze was vicious as she looked around, searching for the slightest trace.

I didn't dare move a muscle, and neither did Wu Yong. But soon, Han Qianqian still arrived at the room where we were hiding. It was a route she had to pass through.

But someone might ask: Why not hide somewhere more concealed? Why hide on a route she had to take, where Han Qianqian would pass by first every time?

Yet I understood that the entire school building was huge. With Han Qianqian's speed, searching the whole place would still take a long time. The sooner we passed her search, the better our chances of survival.

It was still the tattered cloth. I didn't dare move even slightly as Han Qianqian slowly approached.

I held my breath, and so did Wu Yong.

As she drew closer and closer, my heartbeat remained steady, but Wu Yong's body began to twitch slightly. I hurriedly kicked him, and he immediately became still again.

Han Qianqian passed in front of me and soon turned to leave. But after a while, she came back, seemingly testing us.

I had warned Wu Yong about this beforehand, so he didn't fall for it. Only when Han Qianqian's footsteps left the school building did he finally begin gasping for breath. His face was filled with both fear and relief. "That was so close. I almost got discovered."

"You nearly exposed yourself just now. You must remember this. In this Abandoned School, being exposed means certain death. If you encounter her head-on, forget lasting a minute—you won't even last a second before she kills you." I warned him.

"Is she really that terrifying? Can't we do anything about her?" Wu Yong asked in astonishment.

"In this Abandoned School, Han Qianqian is invincible. We've tried everything, but we still haven't found any way to deal with her." I grabbed his shoulder and hurriedly said, "You must give up any thought of resisting her. Otherwise, you'll get everyone killed."

Wu Yong nodded solemnly, showing that he had remembered.

Meanwhile, in another building, Teacher Ma was leading the others away. They advanced and retreated in an orderly fashion, soon reaching the neighboring building. As a result, they narrowly avoided Han Qianqian's search.

At this point, even Wang Xianbo had to praise Teacher Ma. He really knew what he was doing.

"I never even considered a mere Han Qianqian a threat. Let her be strong—I'll play hide-and-seek with her," Teacher Ma said smugly as he smoked a cigarette.

"Teacher Ma, you're incredible." Wang Xianbo looked at him admiringly and couldn't help asking, "How did you know her route?"

"After observing a few rounds, I figured it out. She's just a little girl," Teacher Ma said.

Han Qianqian continued walking through the vast school, searching carefully, but she didn't find the slightest clue. Then she turned her head and actually broke from her usual route, continuing toward the school building behind her.

Teacher Ma was still bragging about how capable he was. But at that moment, the people around him looked terrified, their gazes fixed behind him.

Behind him, Han Qianqian slowly approached, her eyes filled with savagery.

"I'm telling you, even if Han Qianqian were still here, I could still pull a fast one on her." Teacher Ma pretended not to know anything, but in the next instant, he nimbly charged toward the window and leaped straight out.

Although it was the third floor, Teacher Ma had already planned his escape route. He landed in the soft earth, scrambled up, and immediately turned and ran.

The two people inside the room were both stunned.

The woman with heavily made-up eyes trembled all over and stared at Han Qianqian in terror. A puddle had already formed beneath her feet. But Wang Xianbo tried to escape at that moment. Just as he was about to rush out the window, Han Qianqian moved faster than him.

The cold dagger pierced through his chest, and in the blink of an eye, his body crashed to the ground.

Han Qianqian withdrew the dagger and turned her gaze toward the woman beside her, walking toward her step by step.

The woman struggled to open her mouth and said fearfully, "Let me go. Please, let me go. I'll do anything for you."

But no matter how she begged, it was already useless.

After a horrifying scream, another corpse lay in the room. Han Qianqian slowly walked out, her gaze filled with ferocity.

I lay to one side, silently waiting, but suddenly I heard footsteps coming upstairs. I froze slightly and told Wu Yong to hide himself well.

Han Qianqian had indeed come. This time, she walked straight toward us. She reached out and moved to lift the tattered cloth covering Wu Yong without hesitation.

Seeing this, I immediately understood that Han Qianqian had seen through my disguise.

With that thought, I abruptly threw off the tattered cloth covering me and looked at her. "I'm here!"

With that, I leaped straight out of the window. Han Qianqian stared at me venomously and also jumped out.

I looked around, preparing to enter another school building to hide.

My experience fleeing had taught me that facing Han Qianqian in an open area was simply courting death.

But before I could enter the other school building, Han Qianqian had already charged over. She let out a roar, her eyes brimming with savagery. A moment ago, she had been a hundred meters away. In the next instant, she was already in front of me. Her cold dagger thrust straight through.

I was startled and hurriedly dodged backward. The dagger pierced into the concrete pillar beside me, leaving only its hilt outside. It was easy to imagine how terrifying that strike had been.

I was horrified and retreated, trying to evade Han Qianqian's attack.

Han Qianqian reached out and effortlessly pulled the dagger from deep inside the concrete pillar. Then she continued chasing after me.

She was simply too fast, like a fading afterimage. In the next instant, she was already in front of me.

Seeing this, I simply stopped. Because of her momentum, Han Qianqian took several more steps. She came to a halt and swung the dagger again.
