Chapter 133 Breaking the Boundary for Her His voice was hoarse: Don’t shoot, that’s mine…
Gu Yifeng slowly woke up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar white ceiling and the steady hum of instruments lingered in his ears.
Where is this?
"You're awake!" the medical staff standing by called out happily.
Xu Xiaoyi hurried over after receiving the news, and Cao Mo followed closely behind him. Both of them had relieved smiles on their faces.
Gu Yifeng propped himself up and sat up, looking around the simple ward. His eyes swept over the empty room beside him, and his heart sank. "Where's Wen Yi?"
He still clearly remembered that next to the fountain in the afterimage, the moment the wormhole opened, he jumped out from the woods where he was hiding, wanting to pull Wen Yi to evacuate with him, but an irresistible force forcibly dragged him into the passage. He lost consciousness instantly, and Wen Yi... didn't she come back?
Xu Xiaoyi sat down on the edge of the bed, his expression growing increasingly serious. "Calm down and listen to me... The Time Anchor only detected your return signal. Wen Yi is missing. She might have been caught in another time-space turbulence, or..."
He didn't say anything else.
Gu Yifeng's heart sank into an ice cellar. He had lost her again!
"What should I do now?!"
"Don't worry, we're still trying to figure it out." Xu Xiaoyi tried to comfort him, but his tone was uncertain. "The lab needs time to recharge. Once it's restored, we can try to locate her and bring her back..."
Gu Yifeng closed his eyes in pain, his fingers dug deep into his hair.
Suddenly, he looked up:
"Where's the blood sample?!"
He remembered holding the blood collection tube tightly before he fell into coma, but now his hands were empty.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Xu Xiaoyi said immediately, "You successfully brought back the blood sample."
Cao Mo added, "While you were unconscious, the genetics expert you invited, Dr. Chris, came and took a blood sample for analysis."
Gu Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief. The expert team should have already begun preparing for the second round of targeted gene therapy.
With this blood sample, Wen Yi's hope of recovery increased.
He forced himself to calm down. Wen Yi was still waiting for him in some time and space. Now all he had to do was pave the way for her to return home.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. It was a completely unfamiliar number. A sense of foreboding gripped his heart. He hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Gu Yifeng?" A slightly hurried young male voice came from the other side.
He was very familiar with this voice, it was Gao Yiyuan.
"It's me, what's up?"
The other party obviously didn't expect him to recognize him so quickly and paused:
"...You and Wen Yi, is the mission going well?"
"Just say what you want to say."
"Oh... let me cut to the chase." Gao Yiyuan's tone turned serious. "I saw some intelligence from a special channel. I felt it necessary to tell you."
Gu Yifeng's pupils shrank slightly.
"explain."
"Do you know where Wen Yi is now?"
Gu Yifeng was stunned and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"Where is she?"
"As expected, you don't know." Gao Yiyuan understood. "Something happened to her! She suddenly appeared in the core area of the Qingluanshan Nuclear Power Plant. What's worse is that the nuclear power plant has abnormal energy fluctuations and the reactor is out of control."
Gu Yifeng's breathing suddenly stopped.
"Before the nuclear power plant incident, the gravitational wave monitoring center detected abnormal gravitational distortions, and the source was Wen Yi's sudden appearance." Gao Yiyuan spoke faster. "Now, the Investigation Bureau has produced the evidence of alien invasion that they previously obtained, and the command center has now classified Wen Yi as an 'invasion carrier.' Hours ago, the military completely blocked the area, and the elimination order has been issued - she must be eliminated on the spot."
Every word Gao Yiyuan said hit Gu Yifeng's heart like a hammer. He could almost imagine Wen Yi, isolated and helpless under heavy siege.
"She can't hold on for long! You have to--" Before Gao Yiyuan could finish his words, Gu Yifeng staggered towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" Xu Xiaoyi tried to stop him in horror.
"Go save her!" Gu Yifeng's voice was hoarse with extreme fear and anger.
"Are you crazy! That's a military blockade area! Going there like this is tantamount to seeking death! They won't let you in!" Xu Xiaoyi also heard what Gao Yiyuan said just now, and at this moment he grabbed Gu Yifeng's arm tightly to prevent him from risking his life.
Gu Yifeng turned around suddenly, with an unprecedented determination in his eyes: "At worst, we can die together."
He shook off Xu Xiaoyi and rushed out without looking back. All that remained in the room were sighs and a heavy atmosphere.
The truck roared dully along the bumpy road. Gu Yifeng gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze fixed on the distance—the silhouette of the Qingluanshan Nuclear Power Plant swayed violently in the night. Behind him, a massive object, tightly covered in black cloth, was secured in the carriage. With every bump, a heavy metallic grinding sound was emitted.
The closer we get to the blockade, the more shocking the vision becomes.
On the roadside, the composite armor of several armored vehicles seemed to be shattered by invisible giant hands, revealing hideous metal sections. His breath hitched—the scene before him was exactly the same as the ice cream truck that had been instantly crushed in his memory.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a drone was flying towards the core area. Suddenly, it was hit by an invisible giant hand, leaving a strange trajectory in the air, and finally crashed into the mountains and forests, exploding into a fireball.
Gao Yiyuan's voice came from the headset: "There is a temporary roadblock 300 meters ahead. Also, abnormal gravity readings detected ahead, drive carefully."
Gu Yifeng gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator deeper.

In the front command center, General Zhao slammed the tactical tablet on the table.
"Six hours! Thirty-seven drones lost, twelve armored vehicles scrapped, and enough ammunition to fight a local war!" His face sank as he scanned the officers present. "And what's the result? Not even a scrap of the target's clothing was touched! Are you all just here for nothing?!"
"She's like a ghost. Bullets can't hurt her at all!"
"That's right! Bullets will turn when they encounter her!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Cheng turned around abruptly. "I want a solution, not your excuses! I'll give you one last hour. If you still can't take the core area, everyone will be court-martialed!"
The house fell into dead silence.
At that moment, a communications officer hurried in, saluted, and reported: "Report! A civilian specializing in the blockade area, claiming to be a physicist, claims to have a solution to the 'energy field' problem within."
Zhao Cheng said impatiently, "A civilian? Coming to cause trouble at a time like this? Have you checked their background?"
"Preliminary verification shows that he was once the head of the Institute of Quantum Physics, Dr. Gu Yifeng."
"Bring him in." Zhao Cheng's eyes were cold. "Search him according to the procedure."
Gu Yifeng walked into the headquarters, accompanied by two soldiers. All eyes were fixed on him, filled with suspicion and scrutiny. Zhao Cheng, seated at the command post, glanced sharply at Gu Yifeng. "Doctor Gu, you have one minute to explain your purpose."
"I can help you destroy the target's special abilities." Gu Yifeng went straight to the point.
"Why should I trust you?" Zhao Cheng sneered. "If even my professional soldiers and advanced equipment can't solve this problem, what can you do?"
"I'm sure you've seen that the brute force attack was ineffective. Bullets deflected and equipment malfunctioned because a macroscopic quantum entanglement field formed around the target."
"continue."
"The decoherence device I developed can create strong interference in a local area, disrupting this ordered state. When the energy field fails, the target loses their special abilities and becomes an ordinary person again."
Zhao Cheng's eyes moved slightly: "What do you need?"
"Two necessary conditions." Gu Yifeng met his gaze and raised his finger. "First, the equipment and I must enter the core area and be connected to the nuclear power plant's main power grid. Second, the entire process must be performed by me personally." He paused. "Giving me a chance is giving you a chance to break through yourself."
Zhao Cheng stared at him for a long time. "I'll give you this chance and send someone to escort you into the core area. But remember—" His voice suddenly turned cold. "Any abnormal behavior will result in immediate death."
Soon, a tall figure stood at the door. Only after he entered the command room did Gu Yifeng see who it was—it was Ni Qianfan. A former special forces soldier, he had been recruited by Gu Yifeng to the Investigation Bureau after his retirement. His presence as an active-duty officer was not surprising.
"I'll be responsible for the escort mission." Ni Qianfan's gaze lingered briefly on Gu Yifeng's face. "Now, we can set off."
The military jeep was bumping forward, with only Gu Yifeng and Ni Qianfan in the car.
Ni Qianfan looked straight ahead. The car was dead silent except for the roar of the engine.
Gu Yifeng's eyes passed over the tiny, almost invisible scar on the other person's right brow bone: "That scar was caused by you disobeying orders and protecting a girl during the operation five years ago."
Ni Qianfan didn't say anything.
Gu Yifeng didn't seem to care about the tense atmosphere in the car and continued to talk to himself: "That girl later became your wife."
Ni Qianfan's knuckles gripping the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and his pupils contracted instantly - theoretically, this matter did not exist in any file.
He sneered, his smile not reaching his eyes: "Dr. Gu is really capable."
"No." Gu Yifeng looked at the twisted reactor in front of him, "I just know better than anyone what a man will fight for."
"Because, I'm fighting for my wife, too."
The jeep swerved sharply to avoid the obstacle on the ground. Ni Qianfan turned the steering wheel and said in a deep voice, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I want you to know that what I'm going to do today is no different from what you did back then—I'm going to go save the one I love, even if it means disobeying orders. I believe you can understand me."
Ni Qianfan frowned and turned his head to meet Gu Yifeng's eyes: "What exactly are you going to do?"
"I want to bring her back before everyone destroys her as a monster."
The jeep finally broke through the numerous obstacles and stopped in a secluded corner outside the main reactor building. Gu Yifeng and Ni Qianfan pushed open the door, but before they could even stand firmly -
"boom!!"
A huge piece of concrete slammed into the hood of the jeep, instantly twisting and deforming the hood.
The two men suddenly looked up, following the direction of the attack—in the night, Wen Yi stood quietly on the wreckage of the observation bridge, concrete fragments swirling and floating beneath her feet, her long hair dancing wildly in the violent energy flow. Her eyes glowed a strange, dark blue, her face devoid of any human expression, only a look of indifference that looked down upon all living things. When her pupils turned towards them, Ni Qianfan instinctively raised his gun and took aim.
"Don't shoot!" Gu Yifeng held his wrist and said hoarsely, "That's my wife!"
