The moment the sniper appeared, Nan Gengchen finally realized just how many pedestrians and actors were on Xingshu Road.
In an instant, those shadowy figures quickly put on Bluetooth earpieces and ran towards the sound of the gunfire.

From the moment the first sniper shot rang out, Nan Gengchen found himself no longer as afraid.
