Chapter Ninety-Two: Escape from Death
Unfortunately, Gu Liansheng did not experience Chief Lin's purification, so he cannot compare the strength of their purification abilities.
However, he was already certain that Qi An was stronger than Xu Le.
This feels so good!
He couldn't help but try to wrap his other hand around Qi An's hand, but before he could succeed, Qi An withdrew his hand and stepped back.
She only had half a minute, because it was during a battle, and she had to purify him, but this person was only worth half a minute!
Gu Liansheng was still a bit dazed when Chen Xi said, "Hurry up and treat the wounds! We need to break through."
He and Feng Xu had already killed off the remaining fallen insects in the other directions, and now was the perfect time to break through.
However, a few more shockwave detectors need to be dropped before breaking through.
The instruments were no bigger than a thermos cup. Zhou Jianyu thought he would have to put them in himself, but Qi An took them and handed them to the three men: "You guys put them in."
The three had no objections. After briefly learning the precautions for placing and turning on the machine, they rushed down the slope at different times.
Like a race, they were all trying to outdo each other, but Chen Xi remained firmly in the top spot.
After confirming that all instruments were functioning properly, Chen Xi said, "Break through!"
The formation was diamond-shaped, with Feng Xu at the front, Gu Liansheng and Qi An on the left and right respectively, Chen Xi at the rear, and the technicians in the middle.
The second wave of Fallen Insects appeared, and the group fought and moved, making progress despite the difficulties, gradually approaching the edge of the Mother Nest's range!
But when he shot and blasted another small, infant-like insect into oblivion, Qi An felt a chill run down his spine.
There are goblins! High goblins!
The idea had barely formed in her mind when, amidst the chaos, she was still trying to pinpoint the location of the wisdom insect when a white rope... no, a tentacle reached out from the darkness and coiled around her! Qi
An's arms were wrapped up, and the bone spikes at the ends of the tentacles struck her wrists hard, creating a bloody hole, and knocking the gun out of her hands at the same time.
Then she was swept into darkness!
But Feng Xu, who had been helping her share the burden of combat, noticed and grabbed Qi An's backpack.
The pause lasted only one second. The backpack strap was straightened, and the tentacles tightened instantly, almost suffocating Qi An!
But Chen Xi also noticed the situation, took a step back, drew his sword, and with a swift stroke, cleanly severed the incredibly long tentacle!
A scream came from the darkness.
A scream with extremely strong polluting power!
Chen Xi's hand, which was holding Qi An, bulged with veins, indicating that the contamination level was rising!
However, he wrapped one arm around Qi An, sheathed his knife with the other, and drew his gun, firing repeatedly in the direction of the shouts!
Feng Xu was also firing in that direction, and Qi An could see clearly through the light and flash of their gun barrels.
It was a jellyfish-like insect with countless short tentacles and a few long tentacles, the edges of which were decorated with golden patterns, like the hem of a golden skirt!
Yellow-robed priest!
The priest in yellow robes moved with agility, dodging left and right until he was right in front of the crowd.
Another scream rang out, and even though everyone had put on their headphones and turned on full noise cancellation, it was still incredibly powerful!
However, Qi An had been in physical contact with Chen Xi, and she had purified Chen Xi once in the short minute just now.
Just as the long tentacle shot towards him, Chen Xi precisely caught it, slashed again, and simultaneously charged forward like a ghost.
With a single swing of his razor-sharp short sword, he severed countless hair-thin tentacles from the yellow-robed priest!
This time, the yellow-robed priest screamed in agony as it tried to retreat, but was struck by an arc of electricity and frozen in place.
Gu Liansheng suddenly appeared beside it and punched the jellyfish-like creature into the ground!
A faint light shone from behind the almost completely destroyed priest in yellow robes, a cry for help.
But it exposed its cystic weakness. Qi An rushed forward and fired his pistol into the light!
The light went out, and the wisdom insect stopped moving.
Qi An was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe that they had killed a yellow-robed priest so quickly!
But when I think about the three warriors around me who are all top-notch, it seems like it's only natural.
She once again marveled at Chen Yuezhou's eye for talent.
Gu Liansheng's remaining will was to marvel at how incredibly strong these people were!
This incredibly smooth teamwork gave him a deeper understanding of their strength!
But Gu Liansheng is about to undergo a level 3 mutation.
He has a great advantage in close combat, so he prefers close combat, but his mental enhancement value is just 5, and he often has problems with his pollution value.
That's why he was so particular about choosing a purifier.
But at this moment, Gu Liansheng was full of anticipation; he was extremely eager for Qi An's purification!
Qi An had to purify him again for half a minute.
But it only lasted half a minute, not only because she disliked this person, but also because there were other high-level wisdom insects nearby!
The night was still pitch black, and the beams of their flashlights were focused on the direction Qi An had indicated.
A long, thin shadow was faintly visible within the beam of light, but the shadow did not approach rashly.
"They might be assessing our strength. Let's hurry!" Feng Xu said.
Chen Xi nodded, and he and Gu Liansheng, who had enjoyed the purification and was standing up again, followed behind. The group, including the technicians, ran as fast as they could!
Their running talent was truly brought out. In less than 10 minutes, they ran out of the area where the mother nest was located. They gritted their teeth and continued running for another half hour because they were far away from the fallen insects. The three technicians and Qi An were dragged and carried by Chen Xi and the other two. Finally, they arrived at the evacuation and hiding place they had planned in advance!
This is not the command post; it's in a completely different direction from the command post.
Fearing that the fallen insects might pursue them and prematurely expose the location of their command post, they would have to rest and wait in the wilderness.
However, this location is not entirely in the middle of nowhere. It is situated on a relatively high slope, with a narrow stream flowing along one side. A small grove of poplar trees provides shelter along the riverbank, and within the grove lies a small courtyard with only the walls remaining.
The group retreated to the small courtyard. Chen Xi and Feng Xu each launched their drones to confirm that there were no fallen insects in the vicinity before they breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone survived.
Moreover, it's 10 p.m. now, less than 3 hours since they set off.
They actually completed the task ahead of schedule.
Chen Xi reported their current situation to the command center. Chen Yuezhou seemed to pause for a moment before replying, "The mine structure diagram has been completed. You've worked hard, well done!"
The group looked at each other, each one looking disheveled, but all of them had smiles on their faces.
Of course, besides his relaxed smile, Gu Liansheng also felt a mix of shame and embarrassment, and couldn't help but look at Qi An.
Qi An had already purified the area for several technicians on the way, and now he needed to purify Feng Xu, whose pollution level had reached 55%.
But Chen Xi stopped her, saying, "Let's bandage your wrist first."
His tone was firm, his gaze unwavering, and he gripped her uninjured wrist with great force.
Seeing this, Qi An guessed that Feng Xu could temporarily suppress the symptoms with medicine, so he also sat down.
Chen Xi poured water to clean the wound, applied medicine for disinfection, and also took out medical needles and thread from the first aid kit to suture the wound with two stitches.
He actually knew how to do this! Qi An was somewhat surprised.
Chen Xi's handling was very meticulous, but her hands seemed to be trembling a little when she was stitching.
"What happened to these scars of yours?" he asked.
Qi An's burns on her arm were the most severe. Now, during the collagen regeneration period, the scars are truly gruesome and glaring in contrast to her uninjured, snow-white skin.
