When Yu Baoyin wanted to peek, she only realized that there were two mirrors on each side of the chimney stack.
"Where did these things come from?" She mumbled..
Nanzhi uttered without blinking, "I saw them floating around."
"Eh…"
The noise continued and Yu Baoyin became more curious.
However before she can move her head, Nanzhi pinched the back of her collar.
"There is a sniper." Nanzhi warned and showed her a crushed bullet shell. It was from her rifle though but Nanzhi used it, so she won’t waste time explaining.
"W-what? A sniper?" Yu Baoyin’s face became pale when she saw the bullet.
Of course, she knows what a sniper is!
There were also people with guns inside the building.
No wonder Sister Nan had been hiding in the back of the chimney!
Yu Baoyin also pressed herself closer to the point she wanted to meld with the bricks.
Seeing Yu Baoyin wasn’t going to peek anymore, Nanzhi slightly tilted the mirror down on her right.
She didn’t hear the sound of bullets, the sniper must have left his position or occupied with something.
Although it was fuzzy, Nanzhi could see a boat getting closer to the tourist hotel and there were many people boarding it.
The boat docked in front of the hotel and the people on it climbed to the open terrace.
But before all the people in the floating platform could take refuge in the hotel, it was overturned and Nanzhi saw a huge bighead carp swallowed a person.
There was another one bighead carp. Nanzhi made a mental note.
The people flailed in the water and tried to swim towards the hotel. With such large water movements, those fishes will be attracted!
A chance!
Nanzhi picked up her backpack, stood up and said, "Let’s get out of here."
"But you said there’s a sniper…" Yu Baoyin swallowed her saliva, nervous.
"Just follow me." Nanzhi slid to the edge of the roof and crouched as low as she could before crawling.
"Then how about the fish?" Yu Baoyin was still worried.
"If it comes then we’ll have roasted fish later." Nanzhi threw a casual remark.
Under the sun rays, the bolo machete strapped on her back was shining. Nanzhi grabbed it and hid it under her body.
"Pfft." Yu Baoyin found it very funny. She stifled a laugh. It lightened her worries.
She was afraid of being alone. "Wait for me Sister Nan." She whispered and imitated Nanzhi, sticking closer to her.
When Nanzhi reached the end, she made sure there was no threat nearby before diving in the water and resurfacing on the next roof.
The sniper in the tourist building didn’t notice them moving at all because his attention was on the newcomers.
Fortunately, none of the alien beast came to them.
Although wet, they managed to arrive safely at the chimney stack of the farthest stable facing the back of the tourist hotel.
The trip reduced their distance from the tourist hotel by almost half.
