Jack and Wolf immediately got that their Achilles’ heel was the back of their heads!
They struggled to their feet and fought with all they had!
Serena hadn't anticipated that Chester had this lethal vulnerability. Realizing the dire situation, she quickly ordered her few of her
subordinates to retreat.
Tyrannosaurus pressed a button on his remote, and a door beside them creaked open. Nighthawk, carrying Serena, descended the
steps while another subordinate brought down the wheelchair. Nighthawk gently placed Serena into the chair and hurried toward
the exit.
Arabella and Romeo had already teamed up to take out a number of Chesters. Seeing Serena make her escape, they immediately
gave chase.
"Blow this place up." Serena commanded as she left.
Tyrannosaurus didn't hesitate to press the remote.

A urgent beeping echoed through the air.
"Damn, they're going to blow this place up." Jack looked up, his eyes scanning for the source of the sound. He spotted the bombs
placed at each corner of the church, already counting down: thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight.
“Let's go." Romeo grabbed Kenneth and Arabella's hands, ready to leave.
Arabella also clutched Louisa's wrist, but she realized someone was missing and turned back, "Stinger."
Stinger still lay unconscious on the ground.
"You get your parents out of here."
Romeo knew Arabella wouldn't leave Stinger behind, so after handing off the others to her, he sprinted back to hoist Stinger onto
his shoulders.
"Twenty-two, twenty-one, twenty."
The beeping grew more urgent. Arabella held onto Kenneth with one hand and Louisa with the other, racing for the exit. While Wolf,
finding the elderly couple too slow, hoisted Bernard onto his shoulder.
"Sorry, Lady , no offense." Jack scooped up Cornelia, but as he took off, he stumbled over someone and nearly fell.
On closer inspection, he found that the person lying on the ground was a buddy he brought here.
He wasn't dead yet, but he gave Jack a weak smile. Jack had always teased him for being a laggard, and now, even on the brink of
death, he was still Jack's anchor.
"You're alive?" Jack suddenly saw the other men were still breathing. He shouted, "Boss!"
Arabella turned to see several men still down but alive. She quickly told her parents, “You run, don't look back, just run!"
"Bella." Kenneth and Louisa were torn but knew they had to flee.
“Run fast!" Arabella spun around, determined to save a few more lives.

Kenneth and Louisa, not wanting to burden them, tearfully ran ahead.
"Putdown, | can run by myself." Bernard and Cornelia protested against being carried by Wolf and Jack.
Arabella, holding her grandparents’ hands, led them out first.
Cornelia tripped slightly, and Arabella quickly steadied her.
Romeo, shouldering an extra brother along with Stinger, bore the weight of two people.
Wolf also carried two, and Jack shouted into the air, "Is anyone else alive?"
No response.
"Anyone?" Jack's voice strained as he yelled again, aware that twas running out.
Among the bodies strewn haphazardly, one person closed his eyes, not daring to move.
His leg was broken; he couldn't run. His vision was blurred from a blow, and he couldn't make out anything in front of him.
