Under Bai Yaoyao's direction, the wild boar herd charged toward Xiao Shiliu and the others, kicking up clouds of dust.
Boar Head eyed Xiao Shiliu excitedly. All he had to do was injure this human, and he would get more of that delicious water that could heal his body.
Xiao Shiliu forced himself to his feet. "Run! Everyone, run! We'll come back and fight once we've recovered!"
Some of the others were completely stunned, too. What happened to the zombie actors they had been promised? Why had they been replaced with a herd of mutant beasts?
"What are you standing around for? Run!" Xiao Shiliu shouted anxiously when he saw everyone rooted to the spot.
Bai Yaoyao hurriedly transmitted a message with her mental power. "They're actors! Stick to the script! Don't give anything away!"
Only then did everyone recover, realizing these were actors the Base Chief had recruited. They inwardly marveled at her prowess-she had even turned mutant beasts into actors!
"Captain, run! We'll hold them off!" Da Yueyue grabbed Xiao Shiliu and pulled him behind him.
"We can't all get away! Captain, you have to survive!" Everyone else rushed in front of Xiao Shiliu.
Xiao Shiliu had imagined being betrayed. He had imagined everyone scattering to save themselves when disaster struck. The one thing he had never imagined was this.
"You..."
"Don't waste time, Captain! Run!"
With that, Da Yueyue charged straight at the wild boar herd, and the others followed.
Da Yueyue was sent flying by Boar Head with a single impact. Even though this was an act, the powerful collision still made him cough up blood instantly.
Fighting through the pain, Da Yueyue smeared the blood all over his face and desperately crawled toward Xiao Shiliu, roaring with every ounce of strength he had, "Captain, run!"
