Everyone came to the starting line of the track.
Despite there being only two lanes, it was so wide that sixteen people standing in a line side by side didn’t give off a cramped sensation.
Behind them were ghastly giant rabbits. The rabbits pushed each other, baring their teeth and making hissing noises from their mouths and noses. Their hot, terrible smelling breath along with their soft fur almost touched the ankles of the people in front of them, appearing as if they will bite off a chunk of flesh given one more step closer.
The woman with long hair was trembling, one of her hands clutching her husband’s clothes hem so tightly, tears streaming non-stop from her eyes.
Her husband scolded softly, “Let go! How am I supposed to run with you holding on to me?!”
The young man with the yellow hair coolly watched the couple as he squatted to re-tie his shoelaces.
The girl with glasses took off her high heel sandals, thought for a moment, picked up the sandals, and tightly held on to them.
The middle-aged man in a suit took off his jacket, anxiously staring at the finish line ahead of him.
…Sixteen people, each silently preparing themselves.
Bai Youwei lying on Shen Mo’s back, asked nervously, “Are you good at running?”
Shen Mo: “I’m decent.”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment before asking again, “Am I heavy?”
Shen Mo hoisted her up a bit, with a casual tone, “You’re okay.”contemporary romance
Why he kept saying ‘okay’? Bai Youwei felt uneasy. She was about to ask again when a voice overshadows her thoughts: “On your mark—”
A starting pistol was taken out of a tophat and raised high by the rabbit-headed individual.
Every one’s nerves tensed up momentarily!
A figure suddenly surged past the starting line!
Boom!
A bolt of blue lightning, like a colossal blade, lept from the hand of the rabbit-headed individual into the body of the figure that ran too early! Bai Youwei could clearly see the individual’s body twist, turn into charcoal, and shatter!
The air seemed to have hardened.
Not a single person spoke.
A pulverised body couldn’t be much worse than this…
The rabbit-headed individual withdrew his hand, speaking in a voice that was both gentle and indifferent, “Starting before the gun is against the rules, contestants, please listen for the signal gun.”
Bai Youwei’s hands and feet turned icy cold as she silently laid atop Shen Mo’s back. The last thread of hope in her heart had vanished.
She whispered, “Shen Mo, after they start running, you can follow. Don’t worry about the rabbits biting me.”
Being bitten by a rabbit would at worst result in losing a chunk of flesh, but jumping the gun would mean losing your life.
“Don’t worry,” Shen Mo bent slightly forward, assuming a ready position, “Both of us won’t die.”
“On your mark!-”
The rabbit-headed figure raised the starting gun once again.
Bang!
As the starting gun sounded, everyone dashed past the starting line in unison!
A man nearby started to run a beat late, and was immediately pounced upon by a rabbit, releasing a blood-curdling scream!
“Husband!” The woman with long hair wailed, her pace slowing. She didn’t know whether to keep running or go back to save him.
Someone yelled, “Don’t worry about him! Run!”
But it was too late, the rabbits were like zombies that had caught a whiff of human flesh. The moment someone slowed down, they would immediately pounce and tear into them!
The woman screamed, but no one dared look back.
Everyone ran forward for their lives!
Run faster, faster!
Even faster than that!!!
Shen Mo, with Bai Youwei on his back, was positioned in the middle of the group. At the very front was a skinny man who ran exceptionally fast, leaving a good distance between him and others.
The finish line at 200 meters ahead didn’t seem far, nor close, but they were quickly closing the distance.
At that moment, the semi-transparent finish line marker suddenly changed!
The word ‘finish’ disappeared, and in its place was a phrase:
[Little bunny, white and bright]
