Taking a deep breath, Nicole inserted the key into the ignition and started the car.

The remaining guard around, drowsy and unaware his colleague hadn't returned, paid no special attention as Nicole approached the gate and presented the lecherous man's ID card.

The remaining guard, barely glancing at Nicole, waved her through.

As the car passed the gate, Nicole's heart raced. She had cleared the first checkpoint, but several more awaited, each a new challenge.

The organization was meticulous, setting multiple checkpoints to prevent escapes. Without proper preparations, it was impossible to pass even the first one unchallenged.

However, using the same disguise and ID card, Nicole successfully navigated the second checkpoint.

The guards of the second checkpoint didn't bother to scrutinize the ID presented by Nicole, suggesting the lecherous man might hold significant influence within the organization.

Reflecting on this, Nicole realized the lecherous man's importance.

An ordinary individual wouldn't risk leaving his position under cover of night.

Nicole's plan continued flawlessly until she reached the final checkpoint. Here, she presented the ID once more, and the guard signaled for her to proceed.

Just as Nicole was about to drive off, the radio attached to the lecherous man's belt crackled.

Although Nicole didn't understand the language, the urgency was palpable.

The guard's demeanor shifted instantly, his face hardened as he aimed his rifle at Nicole, and ordered her to exit the vehicle.

Nicole feigned fear, covering her head as if to comply. but at the last second, she slammed her foot on the gas pedal, accelerating the truck away with a roar.

"Bang!" Gunshots rang out behind her. One bullet shattered the rearview mirror.

Despite the gunfire, Nicole kept her foot firmly on the accelerator.

Escaping the mountains was crucial for everyone's safety.

As she sped along, the sound of another vehicle closing in echoed from behind.

Unsure whether it was a pursuer or a passerby, Nicole clenched the steering wheel, and pushed the truck faster.

A silver-white van soon appeared in her rearview mirror, relentlessly tailing her. The driver, clearly well-trained, was fixated on catching Nicole.
