Rising Anger

No one had gone to report, and there was no way to encircle these people. Looking at the gun in her hand, the only move Lin Nannan could make was to flush them out—alerting both the enemy and those on the mountain and below, just like when she had faced danger in the mountains before...

The gunshot shattered the silence.

Lin Nannan acted decisively. Using the weapon's firing range to her advantage, she slowly retreated. Once she was at a safe distance, she aimed at a man inspecting his weapon and pulled the trigger...

Bang!

The shot took a life, startled a flock of birds from the trees, terrified the group in front of her, and alarmed both those on the mountain and below. Gunfire in the mountains never spelled anything good.

After firing the first shot, Lin Nannan didn’t flee immediately. Instead, she swiftly fired two more shots—each shot deadly. But before she could fire a fourth, the enemy had already reacted, taking cover and returning fire, forcing her into a frantic escape...

No matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t take on so many alone. So without hesitation, she weaved frantically through the trees.

"Damn it!" The ambushed men cursed, unable to even see their attacker clearly before firing back. Ditching their original mission, they charged forward...

The intense gunfire shattered the mountain’s tranquility, turning the peaceful woods into a warzone.

Down below, Lu Hang and his team, who had been following Lin Nannan’s trail, were thrown off by her erratic path—halting and moving without rhyme or reason. As they pressed forward, they stumbled upon chaotic footprints and suddenly realized: Lin Nannan had encountered a group in the mountains and was tracking them.

The second it clicked, Lu Hang’s entire demeanor shifted. He immediately barked at the team to move faster.

"Why would Sister-in-law follow someone into the mountains? And why such a strange route?" Ah Si asked, confused.

"Nothing good, I’ll tell you that. If it weren’t dangerous, she’d have walked away!"

Lin Nannan wasn’t one to meddle unnecessarily, but she also despised evil. So if she was involved, it had to be something she couldn’t resolve quickly—otherwise, she would’ve acted already.

The sheer number of footprints sent Lu Hang’s pulse skyrocketing.

He knew Nan Nan wasn’t reckless enough to charge blindly into danger, but with so many enemies, even the slightest misstep could be fatal. For the first time, Lu Hang’s cool cracked.

Not just Lu Hang’s team—the military base had also been alerted. The rapid gunfire was unmistakably ominous, prompting immediate orders to send troops into the mountains...

Meanwhile, the soldiers training in the mountains quickly assembled and rushed toward the source of the gunfire.

Unbeknownst to them, three forces were converging from different directions. Meanwhile, Lin Nannan was sprinting through the forest. When exhaustion and hunger threatened to slow her down, she pulled a nutrient pack from her space and chugged it down before continuing her desperate run...

"Disgusting!" Lin Nannan grumbled, tossing the empty tube back into her space with a grimace.

Before she had tasted real food, she hadn’t minded the blandness of nutrient packs. Now? Pure disgust. It was truly revolting.

Though her stomach was full, skipping a real meal—and missing lunch entirely—only stoked her fury. Using her agility and psychic senses, she picked off pursuers within her range, firing one precise shot after another. She didn’t bother checking if they were dead before bolting again, driving her pursuers nuts.

They knew their saboteur was a woman—just one woman—yet they couldn’t land a single hit on her. Meanwhile, their ranks kept thinning.
