The Leader Is Dead

"Damn it, shoot! Hurry up!" The leader snapped, yelling recklessly, no longer hiding their location.

With such a huge commotion, it was impossible not to be exposed, so the leader had already gone rogue.

"Boss, this much noise will definitely alert them. Troops might be closing in. If we confront them head-on, we’ll only suffer losses. We should retreat first," someone advised, fearing it might be a trap.

The enraged leader immediately calmed down, realizing escape was the priority—before they were all dead.

But he didn’t know the woman running ahead was daring enough to cut off their escape.

If they tried to run, she took them out swiftly and quietly, eventually forcing them to turn around and chase her again.

They had no choice. Running meant certain death, while chasing at least offered a slim chance of survival. So, they ignored everything else, focusing only on capturing the woman who had ruined their plans, swearing to make her regret ever crossing them.

Unfortunately, their plans sounded good but brought them no advantage in action. In the end, they could only be played like puppets.

Lin Nannan had initially thought she could exhaust them until they were powerless, but to her surprise, they started lobbing bombs.

This crazy stunt made her flinch. As the bomb flew toward her, she instinctively spun and kicked it away. The blast left her disoriented, and her pursuers were just as dazed.

The pursuers hadn’t expected this woman to be so formidable—capable of kicking their bomb away and leaving them caught in the blast.

"Boss, let’s go! If we don’t leave now, we’ll be surrounded with no way out!" The explosion shook them, and they began considering retreat.

The boss wanted to, but having been at the front of the chase, he suffered the worst impact. His nose was bleeding, and his head was ringing. Once he saw how ruthless she was, he nodded and prepared to withdraw...

However, they wanted to leave, but Lin Nannan wasn't having it.

Seeing their attempt to flee, she immediately took action, this time straight-up wounding the leader who was trying to escape.

The leader, shot in the arm, truly wanted to fight this woman to the death, but he couldn’t catch her, so he had no choice but to cool his jets.

Originally writing her off as nothing, he was now seeing red, realizing she wouldn’t let him go. Through clenched teeth, he said, "She can kick away one bomb, but what about two or three? Let's see her try that again!"

"No!" His subordinates quickly stopped him. "Boss, the distance is too close. If we throw bombs, we’ll be caught in the blast. If reinforcements arrive, we won’t even have the strength to escape."

Cornered and powerless, the leader spat out blood in fury...

"That woman—I swear I’ll capture her and make mincemeat out of her!"

No one took his furious words seriously, as they hadn’t even seen her face—only a blur.

They had underestimated her, never expecting their unstoppable force to falter here, let alone at the hands of a woman.

Lin Nannan was hurting too, but her iron will kept her going. In this critical moment, she immediately pulled out the Healing Solution and drank it without hesitation.

Though the Healing Solution was precious, compared to her life, it was nothing.

"She’s not moving—maybe she’s been blown up. Those of you who can still move, go check!" The sudden silence of gunfire made the leader uneasy, and he ordered his men to investigate.

Too battered to resist, they reluctantly crept forward, only to find Lin Nannan, her face smeared with blood, staring straight at them. One of them exclaimed excitedly, "Boss! She’s injured—she can’t move!"

"Really?" The leader struggled to have his men help him up, eager to settle the score.

But Lin Nannan gave him no chance. The moment they approached, she fired, hitting the leader dead center in the chest. He stared at her in disbelief, then looked down at his chest, struggling to speak. But blood gushed from his mouth, shutting him up for good as he collapsed.

This abrupt twist left everyone dumbfounded.

Lin Nannan pushed herself up from the ground, glaring at the man sprawled on the ground, his face twisted in resentment, and sneered, "Had to play along to draw you out, didn’t I?"

As she spoke, she lunged without hesitation, and even the person supporting him couldn't escape unscathed.

With their leader dead, the underlings, scrambling to save their own skins, dared not confront Lin Nannan head-on and scattered in all directions. But their escape paths were death traps.

Lu Hang's group encountered some of them. Upon seeing strangers instead of Lin Nannan, they acted decisively. The military personnel and those trained in the mountains also took immediate action—some were shot dead, while others were captured on the spot.

"Nan Nan!" Lu Hang’s heart nearly stopped when he saw Lin Nannan covered in blood.

"How are you? Where are you hurt? I'll take you to the hospital..." Lu Hang said, his face ghostly white with panic.

Lin Nannan knew this incident must have terrified him, especially seeing her in such a disheveled state.

"I'm fine!" She hugged Lu Hang and said, "This blood? Just bomb residue. Made myself a bloody mess on purpose—that way, they’d charge right at me and get shot!"

Lu Hang’s breath hitched, feeling as if he could barely catch his breath.

"Even so, you still need to get checked. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease!" Lu Hang insisted.

Lin Nannan refused. "Ah, shouldn’t we mop these guys up first? No clue where they crawled out from—they were ready to take your lives! You have no idea, they even planned to throw bombs into the military camp. I had no choice but to alert them."

Thinking back to the situation, Lu Hang felt his breath stop.

"Your stunts’ll give me a heart attack!" He poked her forehead exasperatedly.

Lin Nannan chuckled, then grew urgent. "Go! Hunt them down! If any escape, we’ll have trouble later!"

"Relax. With this ruckus, the whole squad’s mobilized—they’re toast." Lu Hang reassured her.

Ah Si and the crew gaped in astonishment at the bodies Lin Nannan had taken down.

They knew she was formidable, but wiping out that many solo was next-level.

As they discussed, they began cleaning up the scene, while Lu Hang kept his attention on Lin Nannan. Though she claimed to be unharmed, bomb aftermath wasn’t something to brush off—he feared some injuries might not be immediately apparent.

Just as Lu Hang debated whether to take Lin Nannan back first, people from both the mountain and below converged, having captured all the fleeing enemies.

Lin Nannan reported the headcount, barking orders to tally heads—no stragglers.
