Huo Yishen fixed his gaze on Jiang Ning. “I’ll do my best.”

However, the other party was determined to harvest both of their heads. The axe came down heavily, and the wooden door of the lounge was suddenly split open.

Alright, no one was getting out today. Even if they were skilled, they couldn’t face the enemy’s heavy firepower and walk away unscathed.

In the nick of time, Jiang Ning grabbed Huo Yishen’s hand and darted into the space.

Several people rushed in.

Regardless of anything, they raised their guns and started firing…

The lounge was a mess, with all the glass shattered.

The scene flashed suddenly, shocking Huo Yishen.

Jiang Ning didn’t want to, but she had no choice. She couldn’t leave him behind to be shot to pieces.

Moreover, that shot on his shoulder was likely meant for her when she pulled him.

God is not as good as man, but the secret is still exposed.

The only consolation was that even in space, Jiang Ning remained vigilant.

The RV was parked on the second-floor living room; all the food and supplies were stored in various rooms, all locked.

Except for the floating light-shadow timer in the first-floor hall, there was nothing there.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning kept her hand in her pocket and put her fingers on the trigger.

As soon as Huo Yishen showed a greedy look, she would not hesitate to send him to have tea with the King of Hell.

After the shock, Huo Yishen looked at Jiang Ning. “Where is this?”

Jiang Ning rubbed her nose. “Um, how should I put it, this is my space.”

“Space?”

Huo Yishen frowned, never expecting such a fantastical thing to exist.

His gaze fell on the black soil garden, piles of furniture in the corner, chopped trees and bamboo, sprouting peanuts and corn seedlings, lush green vegetables, ripe grapes, and so on.

His pupils trembled once again.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Jiang Ning ventured, “How about some grapes?”

Huo Yishen withdrew his gaze. “No, thanks.”

Whether it was because he was too calculating or truly had no desires, apart from the calmness after the shock, his eyes captured nothing.

Remembering the main point, Jiang Ning asked, “How’s your injury?”

Huo Yishen touched his shoulder. There was a bullet hole in his clothes, the bullet embedded in the steel plate, and his muscles and bones were sore and numb from the impact.

“It’s nothing, I won’t die.”

“Was it from just now when I pulled you?”

Huo Yishen turned his face away. “No, don’t think too much.”

Jiang Ning didn’t catch his eye expression, so she was unsure if his words were true or false.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. She asked, “Do you think the people outside have left?”

The glass windows were broken, and the escape rope was thrown out. Even if they were suspicious, they would definitely leave if no one was found.

Huo Yishen estimated the time. It should have been five minutes since they entered, but he still cautiously asked, “Is the time in the space the same as outside?”

“The same.”

“They should have left, but we can’t let our guard down.”

He had rich combat experience, and Jiang Ning trusted his judgment, but she still kept an eye out and left on her own.

As soon as she came out, a powerful force pushed Huo Yishen out.

Shocked once again, but he reacted quickly; he not only stood firm but also assumed an attacking posture.

Jiang Ning explained, “The space recognizes the owner. If I’m not inside, all living things will be kicked out. Also, the space serves only one master; once recognized, it can’t be snatched. If anything unexpected happens, I can remove it with my consciousness.”

Listening to her words, Huo Yishen had no strong reaction, simply saying, “That’s good.”

This person truly lived up to his name.

Jiang Ning dared not let her guard down and continued to observe.

The boss’s lounge room was empty and in disarray, with dirty footprints everywhere on the floor.

Jiang Ning glanced downstairs and saw a group of people rushing out of the office building in a hurry. “Quick, don’t let them escape!”

Shit, the tattooed gangs were heading towards the Jinrong Community.

The two exchanged a glance and followed down.

Afraid of attracting attention, they didn’t run but took a shortcut towards the Jinrong Community.

Huo Yishen remained calm. “Don’t worry, those in 1803 are not to be trifled with. They have guns, and the door on the 17th floor is still electrified. It’s not easy to break in.”

Jiang Ning nodded. The six doors were indeed safer. Besides, in these past few days, they had planned countermeasures for possible attacks. As long as Zhang Chao and the others didn’t act foolishly, they wouldn’t be broken through so easily.

Taking the shortcut, they soon returned to the community.

Seeing no commotion in the apartment building, Huo Yishen led Jiang Ning to a hidden spot.

Just as they hid, a group of people rushed in aggressively. They were the ones involved in the shootout at the office building.

“Hurry, they’re in this building. There are stainless steel doors on the 17th and 18th floors, and they have guns and smoke bombs.”

A disheveled woman caught up, impatiently saying, “I’ve told you everything I know. As long as the people on the 18th floor die, you have to return my son to me.”

The tattooed gang found the crazy woman annoying and kicked her hard. “Get lost!”

The woman fell to the ground, screaming, but held onto the tattooed gang’s leg tightly. “You promised to return my son to me.”

“Damn!” One of the tattooed men raised his other foot and kicked hard on the woman’s head.

In the extremely cold weather, the merciless kicks directly knocked the woman unconscious.

Choosing to attack the 18th floor today was meant to be a gift from Brother Kun to the gang’s leader. However, not only did they lose several brothers in the office building, but they were also now let down by those two people who escaped.

It was all because of that damned woman who didn’t explain everything clearly, causing them to underestimate the situation.

Fuming with anger, one of the men kicked the crazy woman to vent his frustration. He kicked her more than a dozen times before stopping. “Let’s go, I won’t rest until I flatten the 18th floor today.”

With a heart full of resentment, they aggressively charged upstairs.

The woman was so filthy that her original appearance was unrecognizable, but Jiang Ning still recognized her voice.

She was the wife of Zeng Nianlun.

While heaven might forgive sins, self-inflicted suffering led to no redemption.

In the previous life, the three departments indeed cooperated and rescued a group of children who were kidnapped and threatened.

Actually, with a little more patience, her child could have been rescued.

Jiang Ning felt no sympathy, but she didn’t deliver the final blow either.

In this freezing weather, there was no chance of waking up after fainting outdoors.

“Ah!!”

Along with a loud banging on the door, a piercing scream echoed throughout the building.

The two exchanged a glance and quietly made their way upstairs, intending to collaborate with Zheng Weili and ambush the intruders.

Their steps were steady and slow. Just as they reached the 14th floor, another scream rang out, followed by a dark figure falling from the stairwell window.

A dull thud came from the hard ice surface below.

As expected by Huo Yishen, they were blocked by the electric gate, so they chose to climb down the sewer after scaling the wall.

Those focused on climbing the pipes didn’t even think that Zhang Chao would be waiting on the top floor.

Despite his weak constitution, he hadn’t mastered the skill of shooting in the eye yet, but shooting in the head was not a problem.

Two were stunned and one fell to his death. The leader exploded in rage, “Damn it!”
