Chapter 579: Chapter 578 Never Give Up (Second Update)

Don’t panic.

There’s always a way.

Before it’s officially over, she believed that there must be a solution.

She bit her lip hard, even to the point of breaking skin, just to distract herself from chaotic thoughts.

She used pain to keep her focus, fully intent on finding a solution.

Leng Wanqing, this woman, was indeed something else.

She had made all necessary preparations to kill a person.

First, she exploited her brother, and then clearly anticipated that the Dean would protect his power at this crucial moment, so no one would interfere with her killing Ji Baijian. Even in this seemingly foolproof situation, she had other weapons ready, like the pack of wolves.

This woman…

This cunning and treacherous woman. Even a million deaths wouldn’t do her justice!

Song Zhizhi forced herself to stay calm.

She surmised that Leng Wanqing’s ultimate weapon was this pack of wolves she had raised.

Ji Baijian was bitten to death by these wolves in his previous life.

There was no need to question how aggressive these wolves were; at least, they were absolutely fearless.

What she needed to do now was figure out how to scare these wolves!

Scared enough to keep them at bay.

What are wolves afraid of?!

Aren’t all animals scared of fire?!

That thought suddenly dawned on Song Zhizhi.

She turned to Wei Ziming, “Brother Ziming, can we start a wildfire?”

Wei Ziming was taken aback.

“Would wolves be afraid of fire?” Song Zhizhi asked Wei Ziming.

“Yes!” Wei Ziming nodded.

“Then, can we start a fire? A wildfire?!” Song Zhizhi asked loudly.

She had no choice.

She could only resort to destroying the environment.

Wei Ziming nodded, “Okay, but right now, we need a source of ignition.”

“Do the helicopter’s fuel reserves work?”

Wei Ziming looked at Song Zhizhi.

That idea hadn’t occurred to him.

He didn’t have time to admire Song Zhizhi’s quick thinking. He said, “You pilot the helicopter, I’ll check if there’s spare fuel aboard.”

Usually, there would be.

Especially for a combat helicopter.

Song Zhizhi didn’t know how to operate it.

After Wei Ziming gave her quick instructions, she took control.

Wei Ziming rummaged through everything in the helicopter.

Fortunately…

There was extra fuel.

He said, “Found it.”

Song Zhizhi’s heart pounded.

Wei Ziming swiftly returned to the cockpit, “Let’s get back.”

Song Zhizhi nodded, her nods heavy.

The helicopter, which had already taken off, suddenly changed course and headed back.

The noise from the helicopter was deafening, so Leng Wanqing couldn’t help but glance up at it.

A cold smirk appeared on her face.

She assumed that Song Zhizhi had already fled for her life.

She didn’t expect a dramatic farewell to be staged right before her very eyes.

She was unfazed.

Just Song Zhizhi and Wei Ziming alone, even if they had ten more people with them, wouldn’t be able to withstand her pack of professionally trained wolves.

She watched as the helicopter hovered in the air.

A ladder was suddenly thrown down from the helicopter and, following it, Wei Ziming, carrying a can of fuel, prepared to descend.

He yelled at Ji Baijian and Song Zhidao who were below, both barely hanging on, “Ji Baijian, I’m going to drop the fuel can. Watch out!”

Ji Baijian was running out of energy.

Gathering all his strength, he responded, “Okay!”

The noise from the helicopter was so loud, it was hard to hear clearly.

But at that moment, it was as if they had communicated and understood each other’s intentions.

The next second, Wei Ziming violently threw the can of fuel downward.

Instantly killing two wolves.

Leng Wanqing’s face hardened.

Watching Wei Ziming’s actions, she ordered her bodyguard, “Kill him!”

“Yes.”

In the meantime…

The sky was suddenly filled with the sound of gunfire.

Wei Ziming was taken aback.

In that moment, he quickly climbed up the ladder and returned to the helicopter.

Song Zhizhi was relieved, “Brother Ziming, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Wei Ziming nodded.

He said, “Now we have fuel down there. We just need a spark.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

Wei Ziming took off his jacket.

He wrapped it around the first aid kit he found on the helicopter to increase the weight of the clothing as it fell!

He lit his jacket with a lighter.

When the jacket was sufficiently on fire, Wei Ziming threw it, engulfed in flames, down.

The clothing, heavily weighed down, landed instantly.

Simultaneously…

A fierce fire suddenly erupted below, rapidly spreading.

Ji Baijian dragged Song Zhidao back, quickly retreating.

The other wolves, scared by the sudden appearance of the fire, panicked and scrambled in confusion, creating instant chaos.

They seized this moment of disorder to make a run for it.

Ji Baijian carried Song Zhidao, escaping quickly.

Wei Ziming piloted the helicopter, following Ji Baijian’s direction, ready to assist them whenever needed.

The scene in front of her caused Leng Wanqing’s face to darken.

She commanded, “Go after them!”

“Yes.” Two of her bodyguards promptly took off in pursuit.

Leng Wanqing eyed the direction Ji Baijian was escaping.

Her face fell.

Did Ji Baijian think that he could escape with just this little trick?!

Ridiculous.

She directed her bodyguard, “Train them!”

“Yes!” A bodyguard rushed forward.

He fired several shots at the panicking wolves.

At the sound of the gunfire, the wolves seemed to instantly calm.

All the wolves focused on the man standing in front of them.

The bodyguard grabbed a handful of dog food from his bag. The dog food was packed with hormones meant to make the wolves lose all sense of reason.

He threw the dog food in front of the wolves.

The wolves, who had been starved for a week, couldn’t resist the temptation of food. Even in the face of fire, they didn’t hesitate to eat it.

After they had eaten the dog food…

At Leng Wanqing’s bodyguard’s command…

All the wolves darted off in one direction, accelerating after Ji Baijian and Song Zhidao.

Wei Ziming and Song Zhizhi, in the helicopter, had lowered the ladder and were attempting to help them climb up.

Ji Baijian gritted his teeth, “Song Zhidao, I’ll count to ten, grab the ladder and climb up. I’ll cover you.”

“You should go first.”

“Hurry, we don’t have time to waste!”

Song Zhidao clenched his teeth.

Ji Baijian started counting, “Ten, nine, eight… three, two, one, now!”

Song Zhidao fiercely grabbed the soft ladder in front of him.

Wei Ziming, seeing Song Zhidao holding on tightly, quickly pulled the soft ladder upwards.

Countless gunshots resounded from below.

Ji Baijian quickly ran to the side.

Two bodyguards chased closely, firing two shots at Song Zhidao. But because their main target was Ji Baijian, they didn’t stay for long and went straight after Ji Baijian.

Song Zhidao was pulled up into the helicopter.

At this moment, he was bleeding all over, even parts of his flesh were missing. When Song Zhizhi got a clear look, she was terrified.

But Song Zhidao seemed to feel no pain at that moment, “Ji Baijian is still down there!”

Wei Ziming returned to the cockpit at this moment.

He didn’t have time to check on Song Zhidao’s condition, he could only instruct Song Zhizhi, “Zhizhi, there’s a first aid kit next to you. Use it to stop Song Zhidao’s bleeding.”

“Alright.” Song Zhizhi suppressed her inner fear.

She picked up the medical box next to her, trembling, and performed a simple bandage on Song Zhidao.

Wei Ziming hovered in the air.

He quickly spotted Ji Baijian running in the woods.

The whole mountain was now dyed red.

The fire behind them continued to spread towards them.

Wei Ziming steered to the front of Ji Baijian, lowering the helicopter slightly. He stopped at an appropriate height and said to Song Zhizhi, “You, come to the cockpit.”

Song Zhizhi quickly left Song Zhidao’s side.

Wei Ziming swiftly lowered the soft ladder, calling out to the running Ji Baijian below, “Grab the ladder when you have the chance, and I will pull you up.”

Ji Baijian didn’t hear clearly what Wei Ziming was saying.

However, he saw the soft ladder not far in front of him, and he knew he was supposed to climb it at this moment.

He estimated the distance.

Summoning all of his remaining strength, he leaped towards the ladder.

He just clung to the ladder.

The next second.

A large wolf dog leaped up fiercely and bit Ji Baijian’s hand.

Ji Baijian winced in pain.

At the same time, numerous wolf dogs emerged, biting onto Ji Baijian’s body, pulling and tugging him downwards.

“No!” Song Zhizhi saw this scene, and she was on the verge of breakdown.

Wei Ziming exerted all his strength to pull Ji Baijian up.

But the number of wolf dogs and their combined weight were too great; he simply couldn’t move Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian also realized this.

If things continued like this, not only would he not make it to safety, but the chopper might also be pulled down by the countless lunging wolf dogs.

He abruptly released his hand.

“Ji Baijian!” Song Zhizhi called for him, shouting his name loudly.

At that moment, Wei Ziming’s heart tightened.

He watched as Ji Baijian was overwhelmed and pinned to the ground by countless wolf dogs.

If things continued like this.

If things continued like this…

Ji Baijian might be reduced to ashes in the next second.

Wei Ziming could do nothing but watch.

Song Zhizhi was on the verge of collapse.

No, no, no.

Ji Baijian couldn’t just disappear like this, he couldn’t just be gone!

She stared straight at the place where a pack of wolves was pressing down.

There were too many of them; she couldn’t see Ji Baijian at all.

A second passed, two seconds, maybe three seconds… maybe a century.

Suddenly, the pack of wolf dogs in front of her was sent flying.

Song Zhizhi’s heart pounded violently.

Ji Baijian climbed up from the ground.

Even though his body was all battered and bloodied, and there was not a single part of him that was intact.

But he still stood up.

Ji Baijian.

Tears streamed down Song Zhizhi’s face.

She absolutely couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

She absolutely couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

She bolted out of the cockpit.

Wei Ziming saw Song Zhizhi, and immediately grabbed her, as if he knew what she intended to do, “Song Zhizhi.”

“I must go down!”

“Song Zhizhi! You realize that if you go down, you will die!”

“Yes, I intend to go down and die with Ji Baijian! If Ji Baijian dies, what use is my living!”

“Calm down!” Wei Ziming yelled at her, “Ji Baijian hasn’t given up. Why should we!”

Song Zhizhi paused.

Yes.

Ji Baijian hadn’t given up.

Even under such circumstances.

Ji Baijian was still not giving up.

He was still fighting.

Until the very last second, he was still resisting.

At that moment, it was as if Song Zhizhi had suddenly woken up.

Right, until the very end, they absolutely wouldn’t fall.

She wiped her tears away.

Seeing how the pack of wolf dogs was not at all deterred by the fiery blaze, continuing to crazily attack Ji Baijian, she realized that the fire wasn’t doing much against these professionally trained wolf dogs. She couldn’t rely on the fire to stop them any longer.

She had to think of another way.

There must be other ways to save Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian hadn’t given up.

She definitely wouldn’t either.

She shifted her gaze.

She couldn’t look at Ji Baijian at this moment. She couldn’t look at his battered body and his dying state.

She needed to stay calm and think of a way to save him.

Their biggest threat at the moment was still this pack of wolf dogs. The only way to save their lives was to get rid of the wolves.

Her eyes flickered.

She kept telling herself to stay calm.

There had to be a way.

Meanwhile.

Leng Wanqing had also caught up.

She was neither slow nor hasty.

She stood at a distance, coldly watching Ji Baijian about to die.

His entire body covered in blood, all his wounds.

Even if the wolves didn’t bite him, he would die.

And yet he was dragging his frail body around, continuing to resist.

This man.

If it were not for the fact that this man didn’t like her, she might really have fallen deeply in love with him.

Her eyes narrowed.

The bodyguard beside her respectfully said, “Madam, the fire is spreading rapidly, we should leave as soon as possible.”

Leng Wanqing also looked at the raging fire around them.

If she continued to wait for Ji Baijian under these circumstances, she might end up perishing with him.

She said, “Hand me the gun.”

The bodyguard respectfully complied.

Leng Wanqing took the pistol.

She looked at it indifferently.

A sinister smile played on her lips.

Initially, she wanted the dogs to maul him to death and make him repeat his own tragedy. It seemed she had underestimated the martial skills of Ye Shengheng in this life.

As she squeezed the trigger…

She would personally end his life!
