The girl with the braids was lodged against a flowering tree on the right side of the road. A long, thin branch had pierced straight through her neck.
The sight stunned the three boys and one girl who had been fighting alongside her.
They stood frozen, panicked and unsure of what to do.
In the pale glow of the streetlight, they could clearly see the three or four centimeters of the branch that protruded from her neck, dyed crimson with blood.
A trickle of blood flowed slowly from the wound, starkly visible against the girl's fair skin.
"I'm a doctor from the Affiliated Hospital! If you don't want to die, don't move!"
Yan Feifan, the only person at the scene who remained calm, strode over to the girl and gave her a stern warning.
Her face deathly pale, the girl didn't dare to move.
She was too afraid to speak, so she just blinked rapidly, her pleading, terrified expression showing that she understood.
