Grabbing her hair in despair, the woman muttered, "I should have listened to Captain and never told anyone about my ability."
Thinking about what might happen to her, her eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She anxiously glanced at the soldiers standing outside and muttered in a panic, "What should I do? What should I do?! I have to escape. I don't want to die!"
As the woman frantically searched for a way out, one of the soldiers approached her. Realizing there was no other option, she gritted her teeth, and her eyes flickered with determination.
The soldier stopped a few steps away from her and said politely, "Miss, please come with me so you can clean up."
The woman glared at him briefly before forcing her exhausted body to stand, using the wall for support.
When the soldier saw her stand up, he stepped aside and said, "After you, Miss."
Trying to appear as calm as possible, the woman walked past the soldier and exited the dark room. She noticed that only one other soldier was guarding the door, and her eyes lit up. It's now or never!
As she left the darkroom area, she suddenly shoved the soldier and ran as fast as she could. As an ability user, her strength exceeded that of ordinary people. The soldier fell to the ground, stunned by the unexpected attack.
A few seconds later, he regained his senses and shouted, "Brothers, catch her!"
The other soldiers saw her run and assumed she was a runaway prisoner. Without hesitation, they chased after her and quickly caught up.
"Let me go! This is illegal!" She shouted.
The soldier she had shoved just now rubbed his aching back and explained, "Miss, we only wanted to let you clean up. Why are you acting like we are going to kill you?"
Not believing him, the woman continued struggling, kicking and punching in a desperate attempt to free herself. But the soldiers held her hands and dragged her to the female soldiers' camp.
Realizing her efforts were futile, the woman eventually stopped struggling and really regretted her decision this morning. But in this world, there was no medicine for regret.
Unaware of her attempted escape, Wu Lian focused on locating more ability users among the survivors to help discover how these abilities were acquired. While the military busied itself with this task, time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Ten days later, Long Yu woke Yao Ran up before sunrise.
"Good morning, A Yu. Why did you wake me up so early?" Yao Ran asked while yawning.
Long Yu looked at her sleepy face and replied, "The boy just woke up."
Hearing this, Yao Ran's sleepiness disappeared instantly. She quickly tied up her messy hair with a rubber band and said, "Let's go."
