"Chen!" she shouted at the open door. "I'm right here!"

She heard his heavy footsteps getting louder and he was calling for Wuming. A moment later, Qing Chen was at the door with his gun pointed immediately at The Zookeeper. Sweat bulleted his forehead and Feng Xuan looked out the window and saw the pitch black sky.

His eyes looked at The Zookeeper. "Seems like you don't need that much help."

"What do you mean? I just got lucky. He threw me to a wall!" she laughed but it was cut short with the sudden pain on her chest.
