Before Doctor Zhao and Lin Qin could even feel happy for a second, Han Yimo also flew backward.

Doctor Zhao hurriedly reached out to catch him mid-air, feeling that Han Yimo’s entire person was already dazed and confused.

Xiao Xiao froze, then looked toward Han Yimo: “What happened to him?”

“Uh…” Doctor Zhao didn’t even know where to begin, “He might have been accidentally injured by you…?”

“Me…?” Xiao Xiao didn’t quite understand for a moment, “Didn’t I give my ‘Shifting Blame’ to the person in front of me… how did he split away half of it?”

After hearing this, Doctor Zhao hurriedly lowered his head to look at Han Yimo, who had almost lost consciousness.

“No way… brother, you…” Doctor Zhao vigorously shook Han Yimo, trying hard to restore his consciousness, “Does your ability refuse to take even the slightest loss… you’re even snatching other people’s stuff?”

“Ow…” Han Yimo opened his eyes somewhat hazily, “What skill hit me on the head… Buddha’s Furious Lotus?”

“Pull yourself together!” Doctor Zhao frantically shook Han Yimo, “How did you start talking nonsense…”

“Too fast… can’t see clearly…” Han Yimo murmured, “Can’t dodge at all…”

After hearing this, Doctor Zhao looked at Lin Qin with some distress, and both showed troubled expressions. For Han Yimo, this wasn’t simply a matter of being unable to dodge, but rather that no matter where he ran, he would remotely receive the damage brought by “Shifting Blame.”

“Should Han Yimo and I find an opportunity to slip away first…?” Doctor Zhao asked timidly, “If we don’t leave, he’s definitely going to die…”

“That’s not a solution…” Lin Qin thought for a moment, “If you walk alone with Han Yimo, the situation will be even more dangerous than now…”

“Uh…” Doctor Zhao also realized this problem, after all, Han Yimo was “Inviting Disaster.”

“The best method is to let him die here.” Lin Qin pointed at Han Yimo, “There’s no point in carrying this ‘bomb’ around, don’t worry about him anymore, let Xiao Xiao casually beat him to death.”

Doctor Zhao understood Lin Qin’s meaning, but there was always some emotion in his heart that he couldn’t let go of.

Once he fulfilled his trust and destroyed that giant bell and display screen, it would be good news for the “Extreme Path” people, but for Doctor Zhao, he would no longer have the value of “Separation.” At that time, he would be just like Han Yimo, able to be abandoned in this Land of Finality at any time or place.

From an objective perspective, Doctor Zhao didn’t think Han Yimo was a “bomb” either. If he were truly this dangerous, Qi Xia should have had a hundred methods to expel him, yet Han Yimo had lived well until now—didn’t this prove something?

So this time, both emotionally and logically, he should protect Han Yimo. In case he really had some use later on…

“Xiao Xiao…” Doctor Zhao turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao, then said with an awkward expression, “Could you temporarily stop using ‘Shifting Blame’…?”

After hearing this, Lin Qin immediately felt it was hard to understand. Facing this kind of six-on-one situation, Doctor Zhao was actually interfering with Xiao Xiao’s tactics?

Xiao Xiao froze, only staring with wide eyes, looking at Doctor Zhao with some confusion.

Doctor Zhao continued: “I just felt you were extremely impressive, with a strong body and some fighting skills, but once you use ‘Shifting Blame,’ it seems you’re not as impressive as before…”

Hearing this sentence, Lin Qin suddenly felt that Doctor Zhao seemed to have some tactic—this seemed like giving some kind of suggestive command to a patient with mental illness.

“How could my impressiveness be because of ‘Shifting Blame’…?” Xiao Xiao grinned, “Even if I really don’t use ‘Shifting Blame,’ these people couldn’t possibly be my match… it’s just that they don’t dare fight me!”

After hearing this, the several men nearby immediately felt insulted. They no longer cared about the tank-top-wearing man lying on the ground and began approaching Xiao Xiao step by step.

“You’re saying we’re afraid of you…?” one person spoke, “If you don’t use ‘Echo,’ we’ll definitely make you regret it.”

“Good!” Xiao Xiao laughed, “That’s just great!”

Although both sides had laid down harsh words, what followed was almost one-sided slaughter. Xiao Xiao clearly had received extremely rigorous training—whether in terms of strength, resistance to blows, reaction speed, or fighting level, she was far above ordinary people.

She took down several people with one move each, then heavily struck and fiercely kicked their heads, causing them to successively lose consciousness.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Zhao finally understood why Yan Zhichun had said Xiao Xiao could protect her own safety to a great extent. This woman, whether in terms of fighting ability or “Echo,” would keep herself alive until reaching the finish line. This was probably the meaning of her existence.

After successively dealing with four people, Xiao Xiao moved her massive frame to stand before the last man.

Many times reality was as absurdly dramatic as melodrama. These people hadn’t even shouted loudly, nor had they used any blood-boiling “Echo” battles—they had already been easily knocked down by Xiao Xiao.

Before they could struggle for even a second, they immediately lost consciousness.

The difference between ordinary people and trained fighters was inherently large. If “no limit on life or death” and “no need for compensation” were added to this rule, the gap in their killing power would widen even further.

The last man almost crawled and rolled away from Xiao Xiao, unable to think of any countermeasure in his mind for a while. If iron rods couldn’t knock down a single person… how else could he kill her?

In this case, he could only use “people,” large numbers of “people.” Even the elite soldiers and famous generals of ancient times couldn’t withstand the wheel tactics of numerous enemy troops.

“Someone come quickly!!” he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Seeing the situation turning bad, Xiao Xiao immediately walked forward, extended her fist and struck fiercely down at the opponent’s temple. But the opponent’s form suddenly became illusory for an instant—some kind of “Echo” had activated—and Xiao Xiao’s fist actually passed through the opponent’s head, as if striking a reflection in water.

The man’s body returned to normal. While running, he shouted: “There are scattered ‘Rebels’ here!! Come kill them quickly!!”

“Not good…” Xiao Xiao frowned, quickly thought about tactics, then picked up a rock, fixed her eyes on the person ahead, and smashed it hard against her own thigh.

Unfortunately, this “Shifting Blame” failed. Xiao Xiao only felt her thigh hurt terribly, followed by Han Yimo’s miserable scream. The person in the distance was completely unaffected.

She decisively threw the rock with all her strength, flying straight toward the opponent’s skull. After hearing the sound of breaking wind, the distant man turned his head back while rapidly phasing his form, causing the rock to pass through the back of his head once again.

No one had expected that the distant man couldn’t fight but was first-rate at fleeing.

“Haha… damn it.” Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly, “Let’s run.”

She turned to look at Doctor Zhao and Lin Qin, then looked down at the several people lying on the ground, letting out a long breath.

“They’re all alive, just unconscious.” Xiao Xiao said, “I still controlled my strength.”

“Xiao Xiao… did you… recover?” Doctor Zhao asked tentatively.

Xiao Xiao lowered her head to think for a while, then nodded: “I… I seemed to have an episode just now… It’s been a long time since I’ve been this irritable…”

“As long as you’re fine…” Doctor Zhao said, “Let’s go quickly, before that person brings reinforcements.”

“That’s right.” Lin Qin also nodded, “Although I don’t know what his ‘Echo’ is, it seems troublesome. Let’s leave this plaza first.”

Xiao Xiao nodded and walked to Han Yimo’s side, reaching out to lift him up.

“What’s wrong with him?” Xiao Xiao asked.

“He… probably got hit by your ‘Shifting Blame’ twice.” Doctor Zhao said, “He’s in bad shape now, needs to rest well.”

“I’m sorry…” Xiao Xiao said, “I really couldn’t control myself just now… I’ll pay more attention next time…”

“It’s fine.” Doctor Zhao shook his head, “We all understand, after all, this is the ‘Land of Finality.’ No one can guarantee they’ll always be normal. You’ve done very well.”

The three helped Han Yimo up and prepared to leave the plaza, but just as they took a few steps, they heard the sound of dense footsteps behind them.

Turning around, they saw dozens of people pouring out from various corners of the plaza—some wielding iron rods, some holding stones, and some barehanded, but every face showed murderous intent.

“Damn…” Doctor Zhao cursed lowly, “This is bad…”

“Can you still fight?” Lin Qin asked Xiao Xiao.

“I can…” Xiao Xiao nodded, “But with so many people… I’m not confident I can protect all of you…”

“Then let’s run.” Lin Qin said, “Running is better than fighting here.”

The four immediately turned and ran in the other direction, but after running only a few steps, they discovered that people were also pouring out from that direction—the entire plaza seemed to have been completely surrounded.

“This…” Doctor Zhao felt his scalp tingling, “What kind of organization is this…? Can they mobilize so many people in such a short time…?”

“This isn’t an organization problem.” Lin Qin’s expression was grave, “This is Baihu’s territory. Everyone here might be his people.”

“Then what do we do…?” Doctor Zhao asked, “Do we just stand here and wait to die…?”

“No.” Lin Qin shook his head, “We need to break through. As long as we can rush out of this plaza, we’ll have a chance to survive.”

“Break through…?” Doctor Zhao looked at the dense crowd around them, feeling somewhat desperate, “With so many people… how do we break through…?”

“You ask me, who do I ask?” Lin Qin coldly replied, “Think of a solution yourself. After all, you’re the one who wanted to save Han Yimo.”

Doctor Zhao was rendered speechless by this statement, only able to turn his gaze to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was also observing the surrounding situation, then slowly said: “I can give it a try… but I really can’t guarantee I can protect all of you…”

“It doesn’t matter.” Doctor Zhao gritted his teeth, “As long as you can protect Han Yimo, Lin Qin and I will find our own way.”

“Alright.” Xiao Xiao nodded, then looked at Lin Qin, “Which direction should we break through?”

Lin Qin looked around, finally pointing to one direction: “There. That side has relatively fewer people and is closest to the exit.”

“Good.” Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, then handed Han Yimo to Doctor Zhao, “You hold him tight, don’t let go no matter what.”

“I understand.” Doctor Zhao firmly embraced Han Yimo.

Xiao Xiao moved her neck, making crackling sounds from her joints, then looked at the crowd before her, revealing a somewhat crazed smile: “Come on… let me see how many people it takes to kill me…”

Before her voice fell, she had already charged toward the crowd like a cannonball.

Her massive frame crashed into the crowd like a tank. Several people in front were knocked flying before they could even react, while those behind were also pushed back several steps by the impact.

Xiao Xiao didn’t stop, continuing to charge forward while swinging her fists, each punch sending one person flying.

Doctor Zhao and Lin Qin followed closely behind her, taking advantage of the gap Xiao Xiao had created to rush forward desperately.

But there were simply too many people. Even though Xiao Xiao was extremely fierce, she gradually began to struggle—more and more people surrounded her from all directions, and she could only barely protect the area around her.

“Hurry!!” Xiao Xiao shouted, “I can’t hold much longer!!”

Doctor Zhao gritted his teeth, holding Han Yimo as he ran forward with all his might. Lin Qin followed beside him, constantly vigilant of the surrounding situation.

Just as they were about to rush out of the crowd’s encirclement, several people suddenly appeared ahead, blocking their path.

“Damn…” Doctor Zhao cursed, then looked at Lin Qin, “What do we do…?”

Lin Qin didn’t answer, only took a deep breath, then suddenly charged toward those people.

Her movement was extremely fast. Before those people could react, she had already rushed to them, then raised her hand and struck one person’s neck.

That person immediately went limp and collapsed. Lin Qin didn’t stop, continuing to attack the others.

Her movements were clean and efficient, clearly having received professional training. In just a few seconds, she had knocked down all the people blocking the way.

“Let’s go!” Lin Qin shouted at Doctor Zhao.

Doctor Zhao immediately rushed over with Han Yimo. The two ran forward desperately, finally rushing out of the plaza.

Behind them, Xiao Xiao was still fighting the crowd. Her body was already covered with countless wounds, blood continuously flowing down, but she still didn’t retreat a single step.

“Xiao Xiao!!” Doctor Zhao turned back to shout, “Come quickly!!”

Xiao Xiao heard the shout, immediately threw a punch to force back the people around her, then turned and ran toward Doctor Zhao and the others.

The crowd wanted to chase, but were blocked by Xiao Xiao’s massive frame and could only watch as they ran farther and farther away.

After running for a distance, the four finally stopped, gasping for breath.

“Are… are you alright…?” Doctor Zhao looked at Xiao Xiao with concern.

“I’m fine…” Xiao Xiao waved her hand, “These are just superficial wounds, they’ll heal soon…”

“That’s good…” Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Han Yimo, “How is he…?”

Han Yimo was still unconscious, but his breathing was steady, seemingly without major problems.

“He should be fine.” Lin Qin checked Han Yimo’s condition, “Just needs good rest.”

“That’s good…” Doctor Zhao finally relaxed.

“What do we do now?” Xiao Xiao asked, “Where are we going?”

“First find a safe place to rest.” Lin Qin said, “We need to reorganize our status before making plans.”

“Alright.” Doctor Zhao nodded, then looked around, “But where is safe…?”

“Anywhere is safer than that plaza.” Lin Qin said, “Let’s find a relatively secluded place first.”

The three supported Han Yimo and continued walking forward. Behind them, the noise of the plaza gradually faded, replaced by silent streets.

Doctor Zhao looked at the surrounding buildings, his heart filled with unease. He didn’t know what awaited them ahead, only knew they had to keep going.

Because stopping meant death.

In this “Land of Finality,” survival was the only goal.

Everything else was secondary.

As long as they could live, there was hope.

Even if that hope was slim, it was still worth pursuing.

Because people are like wild grass—as long as there’s a trace of life, they can tenaciously survive.
