Bing Shi didn't know that even a small tear on her lips could leave Ziek half paralyzed. He had barely avoided one of the rats, before another one leaped full onto him, latching onto him with its claws.
Pinned as he was, Ziek managed to fling his sidearm towards his holster. Three rapid shots had sent the creature stumbling back. As the thing screamed in rage and pain, he threw himself before Silvia to prevent her shoulder from being chewed by a rat.
But was it really necessary? For a romantic scene where the exhausted male lead successfully saved the female lead by throwing his body before her at the last second? Definitely.
Feeling no new injuries on his body, Ziek pulled the trigger at the suffocating rat on the ground. The bullet broke Bing Shi's invisible barrier surrounding the rat's head, giving it a less painful death, 'Fūck me!' He was still too slow compared to her ability!
