Chapter 184: Calling For Help
Relief washed over Shen Xi upon hearing Zhao Yuan’s voice coming through the phone. "Zhao Yuan, I need you to call the police and get campus security..." Before Shen Xi could finish her sentence, the hooded figure knocked her phone out of her hands and pivoted into another roundhouse kick.
Zheng Huai had just crawled out from underneath the bed when he saw Shen Xi on the receiving end of what would be a painful kick to her head. Screaming in fear for his cousin’s safety, he shouted, "Be careful!"
Even as he did so, Zheng Huai pounced on his cousin’s attacker, throwing a jab at the man’s kidney and an elbow to his chest, effectively knocking the person out.
That was one down, but there were more flitting between them, looking for an opportunity to strike. Zheng Huai fixed his eyes on his next target and launched into the brutal melee.
Being a doctor, Zheng Huai knew the human body well, particularly the most vulnerable areas and those which would swiftly dispatch or incapacitate a person.
Shen Xi did not fare half as well. She nervously swung her lamp, swiping at anyone who came too close to her and Guan Lei. Even if she were not the strongest, she would fight as many as need be to preserve their lives.
Every time she saw one of those hooded individuals going for Guan Lei’s back, she rushed up to them and swung her lamp as if it were a racket, forcing them to dodge.
Guan Lei glanced at Shen Xi but maintained most of his focus on the enemies circling them. He punched and kicked mercilessly, slowly but surely gaining ground.
