Without hesitation, he grabbed her and looked for cover to protect her.
But just then, four men suddenly charged forward, each wielding makeshift metal shields they'd scavenged to block the bullets.
Seizing the lull in gunfire, three of them made a beeline for Zoe, aiming to take down the "injured" target first.
Shawn instantly saw through their intentions and moved to engage. A fourth man sprang forward, joining the fight.
Dodging bullets while trading blows, even Shawn couldn't immediately overpower his opponent.
Right at that moment, Zoe spotted a barrage of bullets heading straight for Shawn. Without a second thought, she dropped to the ground and sent a flying kick, sending one of the attackers sprawling past Shawn.
The unlucky man flew right past Shawn and was instantly turned into a human sieve by the bullets meant for Shawn. And just like that, Shawn was saved.
Before the other two could react, Zoe had already copied the move, yanking one in front as a human shield and dragging the other along as cover, then quickly dashed to Shawn's side.
"Jump!" Shawn shouted. The six-foot chasm below was lined with deadly blades. Falling meant certain death.
Using their momentum, the two launched themselves across, one attacker serving as a human shield against the bullets in mid-air. They cleared the gap with ease and landed safely on the other side.
Unfortunately, only one of the four men remained alive. But after witnessing that brutal scene, he pissed himself in terror. Never again would he dare challenge Shawn and Zoe.
Time was running out. Sophia seethed with frustration and unleashed another barrage of gunfire. But without any ambushers left, dodging the hail of bullets was child's play for the duo.
Her bullets couldn't even keep up with Shawn's sprinting speed. Carrying Zoe on his back, Shawn fought through wave after wave of deadly challenges, finally reaching the last checkpoint.
Compared to Sophia's madness, Aileen sat frozen before the TV screen. She slumped to the floor, face pale as death.
Time and again, she was sure Shawn was done for, yet the two kept surviving miraculously.
Realizing that gunfire couldn't reach the final position, Sophia turned on Declan in fury and snapped, demanding an explanation.
Sophia snarled. "Why the hell can't we kill them?"
"The final stage is the deadliest. They must find a way through the electrified grid," Declan explained. "If they fail, that's where they'll meet their end."
"Then make sure they fail! Make sure they die!" Sophia shrieked. 'If I can't have him, no one can!' That was how unhinged Sophia thought.
Declan was starting to regret everything. 'How could I have fallen for such a lunatic?' he thought.'If I ever tried to force myself on her, she'd probably destroy me without a second thought.'
Realizing this, Declan gave Sophia no more chances to continue her rampage and forcibly dragged her away from the scene.
The gunfire abruptly ceased, giving Shawn and Zoe a brief moment to catch their breath.
But just as they caught their breath, they were horrified to discover the area was rigged with explosives. The countdown had already begun, and the bombs would detonate in less than a minute.
Shawn shouted, "Go now!" With the timer ticking down, his sole focus was getting Zoe out of this kill zone as fast as possible. But Zoe grabbed his arm to stop him.
"No. I'm staying. You go now," Zoe said.
Something felt off to Shawn. Zoe was clearly hiding something from him. "Are you hurt again? Let me see," Shawn said anxiously.
This time, he threw caution to the wind and immediately reached out to check Zoe. To his shock, he discovered a gunshot wound on her lower back.
"When the hell did this happen?" Shawn demanded. 'She got shot and didn't tell me? Am I really that unworthy of her trust?' he thought.
