Chapter 82 Captain Jiang Fell From the Sky

Suddenly, I heard a few urgent calls in my ear, and the voices were very familiar.

The crimson in Gu Mingyue's eyes gradually faded. Looking down, she saw the gray light from the bloodthirsty sword corroding her right hand. Startled, she quickly let go, and her loose hair fell naturally.

An overwhelming feeling of exhaustion washed over Gu Mingyue, and her eyelids grew so heavy that they began to close uncontrollably.

The monster beneath her feet, no longer under her mental control, did not turn around to attack her, but began to fly around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Soon they collided head-on with a level 3 monster in the sky that was also holding a human. The two monsters were dazed by the huge impact and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xinghe flashed out from the space, grabbed Gu Mingyue who was falling, and just as they were about to touch the ground, he erected a spatial barrier to stabilize them and help them land slowly.

Before Gu Mingyue lost consciousness, she heard a loud heartbeat and hesitantly brought her ear close to Xinghe's full breasts.

He lightly clenched his fist a few times, just managing to pinch a small tuft of hair, before falling into a deep sleep.

Xinghe's handsome face flushed red, and his fair fingers gently touched that hand, but it was a corner that Gu Mingyue had grabbed when she was unconscious and felt insecure.

He tried to pull it off with too little force, so he could only blush and patiently put more force into it, and it took him a long time to finally get the hand off.

The two landed smoothly.

The unlucky guy who got caught in the monster's claws wasn't so fortunate.

It fell straight down from the sky. Luckily, the monster landed on its back, so it wasn't crushed into a pulp, but it was still bounced up and its internal organs were badly shaken.

Gu Mingyue almost wiped out all the monsters inside and outside the Junyue Mansion residential area.

Those who weren't killed also turned and ran away without daring to look back.

That terrifying human demon finally stopped its bloody slaughter of them. If they didn't run now, when would they?

Wei Jianguo and the others, armed with flamethrowers, saw Gu Mingyue suddenly fall from the sky for no apparent reason. They forced themselves to remain calm and searched for Gu Mingyue's figure among the pieces of corpses scattered on the ground.

Upon seeing Gu Mingyue disappear, the level-two monsters hidden in Building 32 rushed down from upstairs as if they had heard the school bell ring.

The two big-eared monsters came face to face with Wei Jianguo and the others. The distance between them was less than five meters, but they all stopped in unison.

It wasn't until Wei Jianguo pulled the safety pin on the flamethrower that the monster took off running wildly, stomping on the chunks of monster flesh scattered on the ground, making a splattering sound.

They showed no intention of retaliating at all, seemingly reacting to the humans here with some kind of stress response.

Gu Mingyue slept for five days.

After Xinghe carried her to the 17th floor, in order to prevent others from realizing that she was unconscious during this time, he locked the door to the 17th floor, keeping Wei Jianguo and the others out.

When Gu Mingyue regained consciousness, she saw Xinghe wiping her face with a warm, damp towel, looking at her tenderly.

It seems like they're giving her a facial cleansing.

"Xinghe, I'm so thirsty." Gu Mingyue rarely showed a vulnerable expression.

Xinghe had already prepared warm water in her space. When she heard Gu Mingyue say she was thirsty, she quickly took it out, supported her back so that she could lean against the bed, and then put the water to her lips.

Gu Mingyue felt that he was pouring the water too slowly, so she simply took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking the water, Gu Mingyue felt as if she had come back to life. She threw off the thin blanket covering her and was about to get out of bed and take a few steps.

Unexpectedly, his steps became unsteady, and as soon as he touched the ground, it felt like his legs went numb, causing him to fall to the side.

Xinghe stayed by her side. Seeing her like this, he quickly helped her up and steadied her.

"Haha, it seems that knife really shouldn't be used too often. Using it this time almost ruined me." Gu Mingyue laughed heartlessly.

Seeing her like this, Xinghe frowned, revealing a hint of disapproval, but he didn't know what to say.

They could only gently help the person back to bed, then set up a small table with dishes made from various mutated animals on it.

He said curtly, "Let's eat."

Gu Mingyue sipped the fish soup slowly, glancing up at Xinghe who was standing guard beside her.

He was still tall, aloof, and handsome, but he seemed less stiff than before.

Thinking of the heartbeat she heard before she lost consciousness, Gu Mingyue lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

Xinghe seems to be becoming more and more like a living person!

After eating and absorbing a few more crystal cores, Gu Mingyue's body was completely restored.

Pushing open the closed stairwell door, she immediately saw Guan Yue staring at her with bright eyes.

"Boss, you're finally out! I haven't seen you for five days, Yueyue missed you so much."

The little girl still had her bangs choppy and uneven, but her chubby cheeks were quite adorable.

Gu Mingyue patted her head, handed her a piece of candy, and then began to inspect the entire Junyue Mansion community.

There are no monsters left in the neighborhood now.

Over the past five days, Guan Hongtao has been tinkering with a lot of things in his room.

Many weapons were electrified, and the handles were wrapped with insulators.

They invented many electric axes, electric knives, electric spiked clubs, and so on.

They even created a small device that could automatically breathe fire when a monster approached.

Gu Mingyue praised his spontaneous research and urged everyone to quickly install these devices between the buildings so that they wouldn't be as passive as before when monsters came again.

Under Wei Jianguo's leadership, the monster carcasses and jerky inside and outside the residential area were all cleaned up.

Although there is still a slight odor, it is much better than it was five days ago when it looked like a hellish place.

“Boss, five days ago, we found a superhuman outside the community. He’s one of the people who came to find you with the rescue team before,” Wei Jianguo said as he walked up to her.

“We were worried that he might be your friend and get eaten by monsters outside, so we brought him back.”

"oh?"

This is probably Jiang Shenglin and his group.

Gu Mingyue quickly asked him to give her directions, "Take me to see it."

The two arrived at a relatively clean room with fairly complete facilities.

On the clean, large bed lay a man whose body was wrapped in bandages, his bronze skin peeking out from under the white blankets.

Beneath thick eyebrows, a pair of large eyes gazed curiously out the window.

These days he has been captured by the monster and taken to its lair. He keeps trying to escape, only to be captured again and again, like a mouse being toyed with by a cat. He never thought he would see the light of day again.

Hearing the door open, his eyes immediately fell warily on the doorway, but his gaze softened when he saw that it was Gu Mingyue.

"Miss Gu, so it was you who saved me?"

"Yes and no, to be precise, it was my employees who saved you." Gu Mingyue walked closer to him and examined his injuries.

Several bandages were soaked with bright red blood.

The man's lips were pale and almost bloodless. When he saw her coming, he bowed his head and thanked her.
