Shi Jinwei gently tiptoed and began to pull the latch.

Perhaps because of the passage of time, she noticed that pulling the latch made a harsh sound, causing her to instinctively let go.

He glanced outside, but no one ahead noticed him, so he continued moving slowly.

"Strange, did you hear anything?"

Just when they were almost able to pull it all down, a man suddenly spoke up from in front.

Shi Jinwei immediately hid in a blind spot, then heard someone say dismissively, "What's that sound?"

"No, I'm worried. I'll go check it out."

The man spoke first, followed by the sound of footsteps walking in this direction.

Shi Jinwei felt every hair on her body stand on end, clearly sensing that the person was approaching.

She quickly scanned her surroundings, looking for a suitable weapon to defend herself.

But in the bank, in the same spot, what weapons could there possibly be?

She gritted her teeth, took off one shoe and held it in her hand, hoping that the five-centimeter-thick sole would cause some harm to the man.

"Hey, come back quickly, they've given in."

Just then, the man at the door called out, stopping the man in his tracks.

The footsteps changed direction.

She took a deep breath, put on her shoes, and looked towards the door. No one came.

Seeing that she was about to succeed, she stepped forward and pulled down the bolt in one go.

Fortunately, this side was backlit, and no strong light shone in when the door was opened, so the special police officers carefully sneaked in from the outside.

Shi Jinwei was then taken away.

The hostage lying on the ground was surrounded by special police officers, who launched a surprise attack from behind and successfully rescued the hostage from the kidnappers.

Shi Jinwei deserves much credit, but she is preoccupied with her mission and just wants to leave as soon as possible.

You'll need to give a statement, and police officers will follow you throughout the process, so you can't make an excuse to leave.

It was already dark when we came out.

During the incident, not only was the stolen 100 yuan recovered, but the police also awarded 2000 yuan and the bank gave them 5000 yuan as a thank you.

Great, although it was dangerous, I successfully earned 7000 yuan.

After a long day, I figured I had money anyway, so I decided to just take a taxi out of the city and get through customs in one go.

When I contacted the taxi driver, I was told that all I could do to leave Anjia City was to take the highway.

The highway is under repair for the next two days and will be closed to traffic from 20:00 PM to 05:00 AM.

This city has a unique geographical location; it lacks subways, trains, airplanes, and ships.

The only way to leave the city is by highway.

She decided to go to the highway first to check the situation, and if that didn't work, she would climb the mountain.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, some supplies were also stockpiled in the space.

I bought a backpack to use as cover, and at a convenience store I bought a case of mineral water, several cartons of milk, several packs of instant noodles, a few loaves of bread, and some chocolate.

I also bought a folding fruit knife, a map, a flashlight, and a power bank at a general store.

Next came the medicines: antibiotics, cold medicine, fever reducers, band-aids, and masks, one box of each.

I also bought two bottles of disinfectant, cotton swabs, and gauze.

Finally, I bought a few more travel-sized bottles and mixed alcohol and chili powder to make a simple version of pepper spray.

The game lasts for three days, with two days left, so there's no need to buy too much.

I found a secluded spot, tossed my things into my spatial storage, and felt completely relaxed.

When I arrived at the highway entrance by taxi, I found that soldiers with weapons had guarded the area perfectly.

It's impossible to sneak in now.

The highway entrance was heavily guarded, and you would have to break through these defenses to climb the mountain.

Looking at the sophisticated weapons and the ramrod-straight defenders standing every few steps.

Then think about your fruit knife and pepper spray.

There's no shame in admitting your current weakness, so she silently retreated.

This lockdown was unusual; when she searched online, she found announcements about "highway repairs."

She didn't believe it, but that's what people say, whether you believe it or not.

I booked a room at the hotel closest to the highway exit and also booked a taxi for 4:30 a.m.

I plan to leave the city as quickly as possible the next morning.

Jinwei didn't sleep well that night, and woke up just after four o'clock the next morning.

I checked the time and didn't want to just sit there doing nothing.

I canceled the reservation directly on my phone, then went out and hailed a taxi, heading straight for the nearest highway exit.

"Hey, young lady, you're leaving so early. Are you going out to play?" The driver thought she was going to catch a flight to Lincheng or something.

Shi Jinwei nodded from the back seat, unwilling to say more.

Seeing the man's indifference, the driver lost interest in striking up a conversation and sped up the car considerably.

After the car arrived at the highway entrance and entered the highway after queuing, Shi Jinwei finally relaxed a little.

It's about a 40-minute drive from here to the highway exit leading out of the city.

The mission is over once you exit the highway.

Thinking this, her eyes brightened considerably.

But at that moment, she noticed three airplanes in the sky.

The aircraft is triangular in shape and about the size of a helicopter.

It looked like a miniature passenger plane, but Shi Jinwei's mind suddenly went on high alert.

That wasn't a passenger plane at all; it was a fighter jet that often appears in war movies.

They first circled in the sky, then dropped several bombs from high above.

The driver in front was focused on the road and did not notice the object slowly falling from the sky beside them.

But Shi Jinwei saw them falling nearby at an extremely fast speed.

She instinctively shouted at the driver, "Sir, it's dangerous! Drive faster, drive faster!"

The extent of the explosion is unknown, but the farther away you are, the less impact you will experience.

Seeing Shi Jinwei's anxious expression, the driver chuckled and said, "Little sister, it's not that I don't want to go faster, but look ahead, there are other cars. We can't get too close."

Shi Jinwei had no time to care about any of that. She pointed outside and said, "Look outside. If we don't run, we're all going to die."

The driver didn't seem to care and slowly turned his head.

At first, I thought it was a hallucination, so I rubbed my eyes and kept looking. Then I exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, is that a bomb?"

Besides them, other vehicles on the road also appeared to have spotted the bomb falling from the sky.

The car in front started to accelerate, while the cars behind honked their horns.

Air raid sirens began to sound in the city, shattering everyone's last illusions.

Knowing that danger was imminent, the driver had no time to be leisurely.

He floored the gas pedal and almost crashed into the back of the car in front of him.

The bombs fell very quickly; just a few seconds later, a deafening explosion followed.

The entire highway was affected and began to shake violently; cracks started to appear in some places.

The driver was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking they had escaped a disaster.

But when he looked in the rearview mirror, he saw that Shi Jinwei's expression had changed drastically, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Indeed, because several more fighter jets appeared in the sky and circled above them again.

They clearly targeted this highway.

"No, we can't stay on the highway any longer," Shi Jinwei immediately decided.

The bomb was clearly aimed at the highway; if they had left the highway now, their chances of survival might have been higher.
