Zhou Jinru was excited and shouted loudly: "Shi Huaiya!"

Shi Huaiya groaned: "I'm not blind!"

She grabbed Zhou Jinru's clothes, and the two of them rushed towards the roadside coffee shop. The window glass had long been broken, making it easy for them to jump in at this time.

Shi Huaiya ran to the nearest bunker, which was a cupboard that had been pushed down, but Zhou Jinru picked up Miss Feilin by her collar, lifted her up, then hugged her with both hands, took three steps and two steps at a time, and climbed up

After reaching the second floor, I ran towards the window.

"what are you doing?!"

"It's just a few wooden boards, what can they block?"

Zhou Jinru didn't have time to say anything more, so he protected Shi Huaiya behind him, raised his hand and punched the wooden window, then squatted down and shouted without looking back: "Hold me tight!"

Shi Huaiya lost her sense for a moment, and without thinking much, she reached out and hugged Zhou Jinru from behind, pressing her face against his back.

"And legs."

"ah?"

Shi Huaiya felt her cheeks getting hot. She had never made such an intimate move with a man, but her reserve was quickly broken by the cruel reality. Something hit the outer wall of the cafe, and the entire building

They were shaking violently, and bricks were even falling from overhead.

There is no other way, this is a last resort.

Shi Huaiya's heart skipped a beat, she exerted strength on her waist, wrapped her legs around Zhou Jinru's waist, and locked them tightly. Before she could take a breath, her whole body suddenly rose into the air, and she saw the man she was hugging coming from.

The window jumped out, and the two people flew in the air, pulled by gravity, and fell on the roof of a nearby house.

Zhou Jinru quickly scanned the nearby buildings. He did not return the same way, but ran in another direction. The bridge connecting the two regions was an important point of contention. Before one side was completely defeated, the commanders of both sides would not be there.

Investing strength in unimportant places means that as long as Shi Huaiya is given time to resume her status as a family member, she will be safe.

After passing three houses in a row, Zhou Jinru's speed slowed down. He found that using subjective time slowing with a person would greatly increase the energy consumption. If he continued running like this, he would be exhausted in a short time, not to mention that he was not completely exhausted yet.

recover.

He turned over and fell from a patio, jumped into the balcony below with Shi Huaiya, and took a breather.

Shi Huaiya bit her lower lip, her face full of tangles. She wondered if she had done something wrong by chasing after her. If it was just Zhou Zhou alone, it should be easier, but now that she is with her, she is restricted in every way.

Zhou Jinru was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall. He raised his head inadvertently and looked at the cute expression of the little tiger. He couldn't help but smile: "Miss Shi, do you want to compensate me?"

"what do you want?"

Shi Huaiya thought, if it's just some compensation, that's not impossible.

Zhou Jinru exhaled a breath of hot breath, crossed his legs, and stared at Shi Huaiya: "I am not short of money. Shivaash's family has a lot of money."

"you……"

Shi Huaiya said only one word and then couldn't continue. The man in front of her was indeed not short of money. Looking at his straight eyes, could it be that what he wanted was...

She blushed and whispered: "No, your identity is just a male servant. My family will never agree. Even if you really want to, you must have a certain social status, and we must start from the most basic

Start making friends."

"Miss Shi, that's not what I think."

Zhou Jinru was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was just thinking about how to help Yelena, but the little tiger said so much that he didn't know how to respond.

"ah?"

Shi Huaiya was also stunned, her face turned pale. It turned out that what she just said was just self-centered, and the other party didn't think in this direction at all.

It's so embarrassing, so shameful. She would say such a thing?

Shi Huaiya felt sad and ashamed. Her nose felt sore and she almost cried. She felt tears welling up in her eyes.

"Miss Shi, it's too early to say this now. We are not out of danger yet."

In the distance, earth-shaking artillery fire came, interrupting Shi Huaiya's sadness. Her thinking stopped for two seconds and she couldn't help shouting: "They actually used artillery in the city?!"

Zhou Jinru also heard clearly that it was indeed the sound of artillery. He didn't know which side took the initiative to use the artillery.

In addition to artillery, if the steam mecha is equipped with a heavy firepower module, it can also perform artillery attacks.

"Let's hide first and then find a way to send you back after calming down."

Zhou Jinru stood up and pushed the balcony door a few times. The door was locked from the inside and they could not get in.

Shi Huaiya frowned: "We don't have the key."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jinru raised his leg and kicked the door panel. The majestic force instantly broke the door lock, and the door opened to the two uninvited guests.

"Zhou, this is a home invasion and robbery!"

Faced with Shi Huaiya's entanglement, Zhou Jinru opened his legs and walked inside: "If I don't take anything, it won't be considered robbery. I will compensate for the damaged door lock."

This gangster logic plunged Shi Huaiya into chaos. On the one hand, she really needed a safe place, and on the other hand, she was violating national laws.

Zhou Jinru had no such concerns. He clearly realized that he was in a melodrama, and that the country's laws were being torn apart by the battles between factions and the royal family.

They don't care about the life and death of civilians, plunge a region into a food crisis, openly use artillery in urban areas, and damage infrastructure.

If these things happen in the capital of a country, it can only mean that the dynasty is in decline. Zhou Jinru can no longer tell whether these things belong to Gaul, which has perished, or Victoria, which is splitting apart.

Entering the corridor from the balcony, there were some portraits of people whose names Zhou Jinru couldn't recognize hanging on the whitewashed walls. He stretched out his hand to open the nearest door and found that it was a study room. Most of the furniture was covered with white cloth. It was obvious that the owner

Haven't been back for a while.

Shi Huaiya followed him, stood at the door and took a look inside the study, and said in surprise: "This is a study that can only be owned by a big noble. The furnishings and layout are all in the traditional aristocratic style. Whose home have we broken into?

"

Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I don't know. If we don't turn this place upside down, we probably won't figure it out."

He had no intention of continuing to explore here, and turned to Shi Huaiya and continued: "Several houses we passed have been ransacked to varying degrees, and all valuables have been taken away, but this is an exception. Not only are they well preserved,

, and no one dares to infringe."

He silently added in his heart that this must be the home of an important member of the Jacobins. Only in this way can those who have fallen into madness regain some sense and take the initiative to avoid this place.

Shi Huaiya seemed to understand something: "Isn't it safe here?"

"Until the faction is completely defeated, this place is safe, but no matter which side the balance of victory tilts, this place will become very dangerous."

While he was speaking, two outsiders broke into his emotional perception. They not only entered the interior of the house, but also walked upstairs.

The house layout was clear, purposeful, not lost, and no atrocities were committed.

No way.

Zhou Jinru frowned. Is it such a coincidence that the owner of the house came back just after they came in?

He made a quiet gesture, and then pulled Shi Huaiya towards the study room, because two unfamiliar sources of emotions were already approaching and there was no time to get out from the balcony.

As early as when he entered the study, Zhou Jinru discovered the cupboard hidden by the fireplace. Although it was a little small, it was enough to hide two people. At this time, there was no better choice. The two got in, closed the door, and left only

Next little gap.

The cupboard was dark and stuffy. She felt the depressed Shi Huaiya burying her face in the man's chest. She subconsciously hugged him tightly, and her mind was buzzing.

Zhou Jinru didn't notice anything unusual about Shi Huaiya. In order to save space, he also hugged Shi Huaiya. He felt that the girl in his arms was shaking slightly, but he thought she was shaking because of nervousness.

After the two unfamiliar emotional sources went upstairs, they stayed where they were, neither moving forward nor entering the study immediately.

"After discovering someone intruding from the balcony, I stayed vigilant. It seemed that he was really the owner of the house."

Zhou Jinru was thinking to himself, and he looked out through the gap in the cupboard door, trying to see clearly the face of the person coming.

…

…

Adela was holding Wasim, and the weight of an adult man was pressing on her body, which made her feel extremely heavy. But more than that, she was more worried about Wasim's bleeding wound.

After the faction meeting, they stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the department store and looked across to the Western District. No one expected that steam mechas would suddenly appear and attack across the bridge. More exaggerated things were to come.

"They actually used artillery! How dare they use artillery in the city!"

Wasim, who was covering his wound, was still caught in the sudden attack that had just occurred. The bleeding made him feel cold and weak. He finally reached the temporary stronghold, only to find that it had been invaded.

Adela first placed Wasim at the entrance of the stairs and searched carefully by herself, but found nothing. Maybe the thief who came in from the balcony had left.

She turned back, helped Wasim into the study, and found the first aid box hidden in the dark under his guidance. What followed was the doctor's angry and disappointed roar.

Opening the first aid kit, Adela stood by the desk, ready to help Wasim treat his wounds. She whispered: "Doctor, those faction members who are still waiting on the sidelines should be able to make up their minds now. If we can't change this country, what will happen in the end?"

The end is death on the gallows."

Wasim coughed heavily and said weakly: "No, kid, a heavy blow will not wake up those people. Instead, they will blame us. They always do this. If the king is willing to give them some benefits and pardon the death penalty, they will definitely take it."

Take up arms and firmly become our enemy."

Adela stopped moving her hand: "How could this happen?"

"Too impatient, the factions have been too impatient during my absence," Wasim sighed. "We do not have the ability to launch a reform. My old friends have not even understood who we should be."

If we fail to fight for something, we will definitely leave a mark in this era with our blood."
