The man in the photo took the bottle, carefully unscrewed the cap, and immediately, a pungent odor wafted through the air! Sulfuric acid! Concentrated sulfuric acid at 98.5% concentration! Qiqi’s nose, with its professional medical acumen, made an accurate judgment, and her mind went completely blank! Why disfigure me? Why silence me? And why disfigure me first before silencing me?! Just kill me with one blow! I’d rather die than be disfigured... Tears streamed down her face, and a mournful “whimper” escaped her throat as Qiqi struggled desperately. Lu Wei clearly smelled the sulfuric acid too. As a doctor, he had an even sharper sense of judgment than Qiqi! In shock, he kicked over one of the black-clad men and shouted for help: “Someone! Help!” At the same time, he threw himself fearlessly at the man in the photo! “Bang—” A massive dark shadow flashed before their eyes! The man in the photo was tackled! But the sulfuric acid bottle in his hand was knocked into the air, spinning in slow motion—tumbling, tumbling, tumbling again—and then, the acid poured down toward Qiqi’s face... The liquid, emitting white smoke, hissed down from above. At the last moment, Qiqi mustered all her strength to roll over, closing her eyes in despair. “Sizzle...” The sound of sulfuric acid corroding skin, accompanied by the smell of burning flesh... But the expected pain never came! Qiqi felt someone pressing onto her back. Opening her eyes, she saw it was Senior Brother Lu! Could it be that, in that critical final moment, Senior Brother Lu had fearlessly lunged over, kicked away the man in the photo, and shielded her beneath him? But could such a series of high-difficulty moves be accomplished in such a short instant? And that dark shadow earlier seemed a bit too large... Gu Qiqi’s logical thinking was in chaos, but a surge of intense gratitude welled up in her heart. She cried out, “Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Are you okay?” Lu Wei was pressing down on her, one hand gripping her shoulder, the other covering her mouth. He whispered, “Shh, shh, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m fine!” His voice was strained and hoarse, and his whole body trembled violently, as if he was struggling to endure something! Qiqi’s heart burned with anxiety. She assumed her senior brother must be severely injured, or he wouldn’t be struggling so hard! She quickly begged, “Senior Brother, untie my ropes! Let me see your injuries!” Lu Wei rolled off her, gritting his teeth and trembling as he finally untied the ropes. Once her hands were free, Qiqi immediately tried to turn her senior brother around to check his wounds, but Lu Wei pulled her into a tight embrace, pressing her face firmly against his chest, and murmured, “Qiqi! Don’t look, don’t look!” He also covered her ears! The acrid smell still lingered in the air, accompanied by a terrifying scent of blood! Qiqi was frantic, struggling and saying, “Senior Brother, let me see your injuries! Please! Don’t worry, I’ve treated burn patients before, I won’t be scared...” But Lu Wei held her down firmly. “Roar—” Suddenly, a beastly howl interrupted their struggle. Lu Wei’s body jerked violently! Qiqi seized the chance to break free from his embrace and turned around. Then, she finally saw the full scene around her and was stunned by what lay before her— The black-clad men had all fallen to the ground at some point, with severed limbs and splattered blood everywhere, a gruesome sight... A massive beast stood in the pool of blood, baring its teeth, eyes wide with fury, glowing with an eerie green light in the darkness...
