Li Lin watched the distant noise warily, gripping the dagger tightly in his hand. He quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for possible cover and escape routes.
"Looks like we need to move, little one," he whispered to Starwing Beast Cub, gently cradling it in his arms.
Suddenly, Xing'er let out a faint cry, its body trembling slightly. Li Lin immediately sensed that danger was imminent, adrenaline surging through him.
Bang! The door was kicked open violently, and several burly raiders stormed in. Leading them was a scarred giant whose eyes gleamed with greed.
"Well, well, what do we have here? A lone little lamb and his pet," Scarface sneered, licking his lips.
Li Lin quickly stepped back, shielding Xing'er behind him. "Get lost; there's nothing here for you."
"Hahaha!" Scarface laughed heartily. "In this wasteland, everything is up for grabs. Including you and that strange little creature."
The raiders slowly closed in, and Li Lin felt the cold wall pressing against his back. His mind raced as he assessed every possible course of action.
"Last warning—get out now, or don't blame me for being rude," Li Lin's voice was low and dangerous.
Scarface scoffed dismissively. "You? Ridiculous. Brothers, grab him!"
Three raiders lunged at Li Lin simultaneously. He swiftly sidestepped to avoid the first punch while slashing the second raider's arm with his dagger.
"Ah!" the injured raider screamed in pain, staggering backward.
Li Lin seized the opportunity, rolling to evade the third person's attack while cradling Xing'er in his arms. He quickly scanned the surroundings and noticed a half-open window to his left.
At that moment, Scarface pulled out a rusty handgun and aimed it at Li Lin. "Don't move! Otherwise, I'll blow your head off!"
Li Lin froze in place, a flicker of despair crossing his eyes. He knew he couldn't protect Xing'er and deal with the gun threat at the same time.
Suddenly, Xing'er let out a sharp cry, her body radiating a brilliant blue light. The intense glow instantly filled the entire room, blinding everyone.
"What the hell is that!" Scarface cursed, raising his arm to shield his eyes from the blinding light.
Li Lin seized this fleeting opportunity and dashed toward the window. He forcefully slammed against the window frame, ignoring the pain of glass shards cutting into his skin as he leaped out.
As he landed, Li Lin felt a sharp pain in his right foot; he might have twisted his ankle. But gritting his teeth, he pushed through the pain and continued to run. Behind him, Scarface's furious curses and chaotic footsteps echoed.
Holding Xing'er tightly, Li Lin weaved through the ruins, skillfully using the terrain to shake off his pursuer. His breath grew increasingly ragged, sweat blurring his vision. But the instinct to survive drove him forward relentlessly.
Finally, he stopped in front of a concealed basement entrance. Cautiously glancing around to ensure he wasn't being followed, he slipped into the dark basement.
In the darkness, Li Lin leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. He looked down at Xing'er, who was gazing back at him with her bright eyes.
"Thank you, little one," Li Lin said softly, reaching out to stroke Xing'er's feathers. "If it weren't for you, we might be in serious trouble right now."
Xing'er gently nuzzled Li Lin's hand and emitted a soft chirp. In that moment, Li Lin felt a strange connection, as if an invisible bond had formed between them.
At that moment, a furious roar echoed from the distance. "Find them! Turn the entire ruins upside down if you have to! That little brat must be worth a fortune!"
Li Lin's expression changed as he realized the danger was far from over. He needed to leave this place quickly and find a safer refuge.
"It seems we have to keep running, little one," Li Lin said softly. "But don't worry, I will protect you."
Xing'er seemed to understand his words and gently nodded.
Li Lin took a deep breath and stood up. He knew countless unknown dangers awaited them ahead. Yet, at that moment, a glimmer of hope ignited within him.
Perhaps, in this brutal wasteland world, he had finally found something worth protecting.
