"Someone's there! It's Emil and the others! They're still alive!!! Come quick, help them!!"

Before Xu Milu could say anything, someone nearby immediately noticed what was happening, their loud voice filled with joy:

"And that kid Yu Lu! He's still alive!!"

The word "surprisingly" is quite clever.

Xu Milu climbed up, just about to lower Emil down to help Liu Na, when a hand suddenly reached out in front of her:

"Give it to me."

It was a beautiful hand, with long, slender fingers, distinct knuckles, and neatly trimmed nails, revealing the personality of its owner.

—It was the young man guarding the entrance to the cave.

"Who are you……"

Xu Milu keenly sensed that the atmosphere on the ground was somewhat different. Apart from a few scattered members of the dispatch team who looked excited, the rest of the people around her were all researchers in white uniforms.

Are they members of the "New Human Faction" at Hope Base?

She ignored the outstretched hand, braced herself with both hands on the ground, and used her waist strength to nimbly crawl out of the hole.

"Damn it, we finally crawled out of that damned underground... What happened here? Where are our people?!"

Emil, who had narrowly escaped death, was about to cheer when he turned his head and saw the young man standing beside him. His joy instantly froze on his face.

"Dr. Su?!"

Seeing that Xu Milu had politely declined his offer, a hint of hidden disappointment flashed across Dr. Su's eyes, but she quickly regained her gentle demeanor and said to the two of them:

"Don't be nervous. I am a Level 2 Researcher at the Base Research Institute. We are here to support you with heavy weapons to help with this insect outbreak. You... the wounded can evacuate first in the aircraft I brought."

He appeared calm and composed, showing no sign that he had just made the decision to abandon the rescue.

Xu Milu tilted her head slightly. For some reason, she felt there was a subtle disappointment in the other person's tone.

Is it just my imagination?

...

...

"boom……"

Red and black mushroom clouds rose suddenly on the distant horizon. The high temperature brought by the quantum energy bomb explosion spread outward with strong winds, carrying a power that was almost destructive.

In an instant, the towering buildings were completely reduced to ashes, and tens of thousands of mutated cockroaches in the underground caverns did not even have a chance to escape, all turning into dust in the merciless flames.

Although they had already evacuated, the people sitting in the aircraft could still feel the invisible pressure and the scorching temperature due to the shockwave.

The commotion was so great that the aircraft's transparent display screen trembled slightly.

The aircraft was provided by the research institute. The printed vehicles carried supplies and left with the convoy first, while the wounded were evacuated with the logistics personnel in small aircraft.

—Including Dingxiang, who was limp all over and wanted to curse but was too weak to do so.

The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, so he could barely be considered half-injured. Just from the anger on his face, you could tell how filthy he was cursing inside.

It's all aimed at Dr. Su.

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

Xu Milu sat by the window in a very low-key manner. Although she declined the team doctor's request to help check her infection level, everyone on the aircraft still looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Lu was still the same ordinary-looking, taciturn man, but no one expected that he would not only be uninjured, but also turn around and pull Emil and Liu Na out of the water.

An unarmed ordinary person not only survives a dangerous mutated cockroach nest, but also manages to save his teammate.

God knows how shocked they were when they saw that the person being carried up like a schoolbag was Emil.

It's worth noting that Liu Na and Emil, two evolved beings, suffered injuries—one with a head injury and the other with a broken leg—yet Yu Lu didn't even twist his ankle. Not only that, he managed to find a way out through the mutated banana tree trunk, carrying a companion weighing nearly 200 pounds on his back and climbing more than ten meters with his bare hands.

Are you Spider-Man or not, my friend?

"It might be an outburst of the will to survive."

Xu Milu earnestly tried to deceive people: "I've read research that says that when a person's survival instinct is stimulated, it can generate huge potential. Before the disaster, a mother fought a black bear weighing over 400 pounds with her bare hands to protect her child, so I think that might have been the case just now."

? ? ?

Even the explosion of potential can't explain how you're so strong.

If everyone's questions were visualized, the spacecraft would probably be overwhelmed by a barrage of comments.

Just like in every class there is a nobody, a nobody who doesn't raise their hand to answer questions in class, has no special talents, no hobbies, and whose grades are not outstanding and whose appearance is not eye-catching.

—But one day, this classmate suddenly tore off his clothes and laughed, saying, "You didn't expect that, did you? I'm actually a descendant of Jedi Knight and Batman."

"Yu Lu is a really great young man."

Emil, whose leg was broken, was grimacing as he received treatment from the team doctor, his face filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

“He is the hero sent by God to save me. If he hadn’t thought of using tree roots to stop my bleeding, I would have been meeting God by now because of blood loss.”

"I heard that this insect swarm is led by a mutated mother insect."

The team doctor glanced at him and couldn't help but shake his head: "You guys are really lucky to have survived those mutated cockroaches—I'm asking you, how did you even survive?"

Emil said with a proud air, "It's fire. Yu Lu discovered that those mutated cockroaches are afraid of fire. He started a fire with a stick. You didn't see it, but those cockroaches saw fire as if they saw their natural enemy..."

"Shut up, Emil."

Liu Na, whose head was wrapped in gauze, interrupted him and retorted, "I don't know if your God really exists, but I do know that if it weren't for Yu Lu, we would both have died in the cave."
