At that moment, in the vast Vermillion Base, Thalia and Spencer were being relentlessly pursued.
Wielding both sword and gun, Thalia was drenched in blood. In the pitch-black night, she was like a demon that emerged straight from hell, striking fear into the hearts of all.
Knowing she was tough to handle, those people focused their firepower on Spencer.
Even though Spencer had some skills, his expertise did not lie there, making him seem somewhat out of his depth.
While Thalia was on a killing spree, a sudden shout rang out beside her ear. “Watch your man!”
After Alexia shouted, Thalia looked toward Spencer, only to see a group of people had completely surrounded him.
Upon seeing that, Thalia immediately furrowed her brows. “Be careful, Spencer.”
Spencer turned around, only to see someone attacking him from directly above. Fortunately, Thalia spoke up just in time, saving him from disaster.
After dodging directly, Spencer started fighting with that person.
Just then, someone daringly lunged at Thalia. Without even looking, Thalia swiftly swung her blade, and the person fell to the ground instantly.
Then, looking in the direction of Spencer, she charged straight toward him.
She teamed up with Spencer and swiftly took out the few people surrounding them.
But at that moment, Spencer was already covered in countless wounds.
“How are you? Are you okay?” Thalia asked.
Spencer smirked. “It's just a minor injury.”
Thalia looked at him, then seemed to think of something. She immediately took out the medicine she had on her and placed it on him. “I'll cover for you. Take the medicine and leave immediately. Just keep going straight from here. The exit is at the end. Don't look back.”
Looking at her, Spencer furrowed his brows. “You know I would never leave you behind!”
“Spencer—” Just as Thalia was about to say something, someone suddenly attacked her from behind. Seeing that, Spencer immediately threw the dagger in his hand at the attacker.
Struck in the throat, that person fell down immediately.
After eliminating the trouble, Spencer looked at her. “I know what you want to say. Either you take the medicine and leave, and I'll cover for you, or we stick together. No matter what, we will stay together.” He spoke slowly, his dark eyes appearing solemn and profound.
“Spencer...” Thalia furrowed her brows.
“Since you can't decide, I'll choose for you!” With that, Spencer took her hand firmly. “Let's stay together!” As he spoke, he looked at the people gradually closing in behind him. “I believe Kenneth will definitely come.”
Thalia couldn't say anything else after listening to Spencer.
For the first time, she didn't feel so terrified in a place like that.
At that thought, a smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She looked at those who were coming to claim their lives and murmured, “Spencer, this is the first time in all these years that I feel no fear while on a mission. I'm even feeling an indescribable sense of happiness.”
Spencer didn't know what to say, gripping her hand even tighter.
If it weren't for that brush with death, he probably would never have understood the life Thalia was leading. The things she did were just a job in their eyes, but only after experiencing it firsthand did he realize that she was always flirting with death, always relying on a stroke of luck.
“From now on, we'll always be together,” Spencer said, gripping her hand tightly.
“Okay.”
So, when those people rushed up, Thalia, armed with a sharp weapon, charged directly at them.
Within the crowd, two individuals fought as if possessed, their coordination seamless. Yet, no matter how skilled they were, they were still outnumbered, and it was inevitable that they would sustain injuries.
Not far away, Alexia was watching and decided to join them.
Just like that, they killed any enemies who approached them.
In the depths of the night, bodies were strewn all over the ground, and blood was splattered everywhere.
At that moment, the tank was relentlessly seeking their direction. When it saw them engaged in a scuffle, it suddenly took aim at them.
