Boom——!!!

A dull roar, like the breaking of the earth's heart, echoed from deeper underground! Then, not far to their right, a massive "hill" of abandoned vehicles and construction debris suddenly collapsed inward! Countless rusted steel plates, twisted rebar, and rotting furniture cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly filling a deep pit below and stirring up a cloud of dust and a foul stench! The entire garbage dump seemed to be sinking!

"Be careful!" Wen Shifei screamed and instinctively dragged Lu Cheneng to the left!

boom!!!

The violent tremor made them lose their footing, and the three of them fell heavily onto a relatively soft pile of musty, worn-out fabric garbage. Applejack let out a faint, almost inaudible groan of pain.

"Ajie!" Wen Shifei didn't care that he was dizzy from the fall, and he rolled and crawled to Ajie's side. His face was as pale as a dead person, and the rise and fall of his chest was almost invisible.

"Hold on! Ajie! Look at me! Look at me!" Wen Shifei's voice was filled with tears. She frantically checked his pulse and breathing, which were as weak as a candle in the wind.

At this moment, Lu Cheneng, who had been silently supporting himself, suddenly began to tremble violently! He knelt on one knee in the filth, his left mithril arm firmly supporting the ground. The silver light on his arm, which had originally flickered faintly, suddenly became rapid and bright! As if stimulated by the violent tremor and despair just now!

Buzz——!!!

An invisible, icy metallic resonance force field suddenly spread out from Mithril's left arm! This time, while the range was far less terrifying than the previous out-of-control moment, it still caused the scattered metal fragments within a few meters to jingle and vibrate! Lu Chen's head suddenly lifted up, and in his only remaining right eye, the deep fatigue and pain were instantly replaced by a frenzied bloodshot and a silvery-white light that danced like tiny lightning bolts! A primal, destructive, and violent feeling permeated the air once again!

"No! Shen En! Control yourself!" Wen Shifei's heart stopped beating instantly, and she screamed! She saw the familiar, yet terrifying, strange light in Lu Shen En's eyes!

Lu Cheneng let out a suppressed, beast-like growl from his throat. His right eye, blazing with chaotic silver light, suddenly locked onto Wen Shifei, who was close at hand and trying to wake Ajie! His left Mithril arm rose uncontrollably, his five fingers spread out, and tiny, skin-tingling silver-white arcs lingered on his fingertips!

Killing intent! The cold and pure killing intent rose again!

Wen Shifei's body was icy cold, despair pouring down her body like icy water. It was over... This time, there was no Qingyi's consciousness left to wake him...

At this critical moment!

"Cough... cough cough... Brother Lu..."

A choking cough as weak as a mosquito's, but with extremely clear pain and persistence, suddenly rang out!

It’s Ajie!

He was actually struggling hard, on the verge of a deep coma and near death, and he made a sound! His blood-stained fingers trembled with great difficulty, as if he wanted to raise them and point at Lu Cheneng, but in the end, they only twitched weakly.

This tiny sound is like a drop of ice water dropped into boiling oil!

Lu Cheneng's right eye, ablaze with chaotic silver light, trembled violently! Like a frozen lake being plunged into by a boulder! Within that cold, inhuman will of destruction, a sudden burst of intense, agonizing struggle, belonging to "Lu Cheneng," erupted! His raised mithril arm trembled violently, arcs of electricity flickering from his fingertips!

"Ah...Jie..." A vague word, filled with endless pain and confusion, was squeezed out from his clenched teeth. The sound was like calling out the name of a companion from hell.

This struggle was brief but crucial! Wen Shifei seized this fleeting opportunity and screamed desperately: "Chen En! Look at Ajie! Look at him! He is trying to save you! To save us! He is dying! He needs you! Only you can lead him to find Lao Qiang! Only you can save him! Lu Chen En——!!!"

"Save...Ajie..." The chaotic silver light and icy murderous intent in Lu Chen's eyes surged like a tide, clashing madly with that hint of human agony! He fiercely grasped his own dangerously gleaming mithril left arm with his intact right hand, his nails digging into the still-unhealed wound! Blood instantly gushed out, dripping down mixed with sweat!

“Ahhhhh!!!” He let out a painful roar as if his soul was torn apart!

He forcibly suppressed the violent silver light on Mithril's left arm, causing it to fall limply. The chaotic silver-white lightning in his right eye gradually died, replaced once again by a bottomless exhaustion, pain, and a near-fainting confusion. He hunched over, gasping for breath, sweat pouring down like rain, his entire body looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"Let's go..." Lu Chen's voice was hoarse. He struggled, using up his last bit of strength to carry Ajie's heavy body back on his shoulders. He stood up shakily, his eyes fixed on the west, "... find Lao Qiang... save him..."

Wen Shifei wiped away the tears that blurred her vision, picked up the shotgun that had fallen beside her, and nodded vigorously. The two of them once again embarked on their desperate journey. This time, Lu Chensheng's steps seemed more steady. Beyond despair, his heavy back carried the weight of a mission that must be accomplished.

However, just as they had bypassed the newly collapsed garbage mountain, a relatively open area filled with rusted large mechanical wreckage appeared before their eyes.

call out--!!!

A sharp whistle, so sharp it ripped through the air, came from the sky without warning! Its speed far exceeded that of any known firearm bullet!
