Chapter 406: Place two people
Then, he began counting.
Lao Wei was momentarily stunned by this action, listening to Liang Yu’s voice.
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three.”
“Four.”
When he counted to four, Lao Wei’s heart sank. Had four people died?
That is to say, only he was alive in the shelter now.
Lao Wei thought so, but in reality, it was not the case. He heard what Liang Yu said next.
“There are only four people here. Where did the remaining one go?”
At this moment, Lao Wei also followed Liang Yu’s words and looked over, his gaze quickly falling on the corpses on the ground.
“One, two, three.”
Excluding the Mutated Lizard’s corpse, there were only four people, including him.
Lao Wei understood. Someone had taken advantage of the chaos to escape to another place, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was good.
At least not all of them had died, leaving only him.
Just as he was feeling fortunate, there was movement upstairs. Liang Yu also learned what had happened through Lan Ling and the others.
When the fifth person arrived on the first floor, he found that the Mutated Lizards were all knocked down, and there were several dead Mutated Lizards nearby. The mechs controlled by Lan Ling and Mu Yunxi stood in their center.
He thought that these two sisters had killed all the Mutated Lizards.
He didn’t know if it was because he was too anxious, or if he was stimulated by some other reason.
This person actually opened the sealed window on the first floor and shouted for help at Lan Ling and the two of them.
Perhaps it was the sound of his cry for help, or perhaps it was the scent of a young Mutated Lizard on him.
Those Mutated Lizards, who should have been lying down pretending to be dead, became agitated one after another, and immediately scared that person from the window onto the ground.
However, there was still good news. The shelter had not cut corners, and its defense was not bad. No matter how much they crashed into it, they would not be able to break through the shelter for a while.
Lan Ling and her younger sister stood in the middle of them, watching as the remaining Mutated Lizards ignored them and frantically attacked the shelter.
The lizards were huge, with rough skin that glowed strangely. Their triangular heads twisted from side to side, and their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
They opened their mouths, filled with sharp teeth, and let out terrifying roars. Their powerful limbs dug deep marks in the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Each attack was accompanied by a huge sound. They used their hard bodies to ram the shelter’s door, their claws frantically scratching, trying to break through this last line of defense.
The smaller ones continuously slammed their bodies against the window that had just been opened.
The shelter’s door made dull thumping sounds under the attack, but it remained sturdy. However, the window began to deform slightly.
The man on the ground clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the effort. His heart pounded like a drum, both terrified by the dangerous scene before him and worried about his own safety inside the shelter.
His body trembled uncontrollably, his face full of terror, yet he forced himself to hold back any sound, afraid of attracting the Mutated Lizards’ attention.
But it was all in vain. Even if he desperately tried not to make a sound, the smell on his body had already betrayed him.
What’s more, at this moment, footsteps came from behind him. The one-man army and Lao Wei walked over, looking at the disheveled man in front of them.
Lao Wei did not blame the man. Instead, he reached out his hand to help him up.
“Wu Zhiming, get up quickly.”
Wu Zhiming on the ground heard Lao Wei’s voice, turned his head, and scrambled towards Lao Wei, gripping Lao Wei’s outstretched hand.
“Uncle Wei, we can’t get out.”
“We’ll all die here.”
“Killed by those monsters.”
Lao Wei’s mouth opened slightly, just about to utter words of comfort, but his gaze was suddenly drawn by the movement beside him.
The one-man army suddenly moved. Its flexible mechanical body twisted, making a surprising move towards the Mutated Lizards outside, who were baring their fangs and claws.
Five red and white spirit balls, thrown by the one-man army’s powerful toss, shot out like cannonballs.
In the dim environment, the red and white colors on the surface of the spirit balls were particularly striking.
They flew with a whooshing sound, drawing arcs, and rushed directly towards those Mutated Lizards.
The Mutated Lizard seemed to sense the threat. Its claws, which had been frantically hitting the ground, stopped. Its head tilted slightly, and its blood-red vertical pupils stared intently at the flying spirit balls.
It let out a low roar, as if demonstrating to these uninvited guests.
With a series of dull thuds, the spirit balls successively smashed onto the Mutated Lizard’s hard scales.
The Mutated Lizard’s actions instantly caused dust to fly everywhere, and the stirred-up sand obscured everyone’s vision.
Lao Wei’s eyes widened. He stared nervously at the movement in the dust, silently guessing what would happen next.
Would the spirit ball successfully subdue this terrifying Mutated Lizard, or would the Mutated Lizard charge at the spirit ball thrown by Liang Yu?
The sky full of dust gradually dissipated, and the previously noisy and chaotic scene finally returned to calm.
On the ground in front, only five spirit balls lay quietly there.
The door where the one-man army was located slowly opened, and he calmly walked out from inside.
He walked to the spirit balls, gently squatted down, and carefully picked up the five spirit balls one by one.
He looked back at the two people behind him, telling them to follow, then first sent Lan Ling and the other back, while he prepared to take them to Qu Baoguo’s side.
But the problem was, the one-man army wasn’t afraid of rain, but the two of them would probably have a hard time, especially with a thousand-kilometer journey, which normal people couldn’t endure.
Liang Yu had no choice but to directly dismantle the steel plates of the shelter and use the one-man army to weld them into a box.
Then he let them go inside, but Wu Zhiming looked at it and was a bit unwilling. He highly suspected what the other party was planning.
But Liang Yu didn’t indulge him. He directly gave them one minute. If they didn’t come in after one minute, then he was sorry. The opportunity had been given, and he couldn’t blame him if they didn’t cherish it.
Under Lao Wei’s guidance, the two entered. After Liang Yu covered the box, he transformed into an airplane, pulled the box directly, and took them to Qu Baoguo.
This flight lasted two hours. Liang Yu successfully landed in front of the Mountain Cave, but his actions aroused the vigilance of the guards.
The one-man army quickly descended from a high place, landing steadily on the sandy ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
In just an instant, several dark gun muzzles in the distance were already aimed at him.
Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to solidify instantly, and a tense atmosphere permeated like a tangible presence.
Liang Yu, however, looked indifferent, as if he did not take the current crisis to heart.
