Chapter 136: A sudden turn of events. Who will stand before her and fight for her against the entire...
"Ni Qianfan! Disarm immediately and kneel!" The commander pointed his gun at him and shouted, "You are suspected of disobeying military orders!"
Wen Yi looked at the situation in front of her and her heart sank - Oh no, Gu Yifeng hasn't been sent out yet!
Ni Qianfan's body stiffened. He followed his instructions and gently placed Gu Yifeng on the ground. He then raised his hands and knelt on the ground, his voice remaining calm. "Report! Dr. Gu is the key person to resolve this crisis. Please allow me to complete my duties."
"Shut up! Take it down!"
Before he could finish, a soldier stepped forward, roughly handcuffed him and pinned him to the ground. Ni Qianfan groaned, no longer trying to argue. He pursed his lips and glanced at Wen Yi with a complicated expression.
Wen Yi secretly tried to mobilize her strength, but her body remained as still as a pool of stagnant water. She couldn't help but smile wryly. Should she praise Gu Yifeng's thorough decoherence and his formidable professional skills?
"It's time to end it." A cold and majestic voice came from outside the door.
The soldiers quickly cleared a passage, and Zhao Cheng, dressed in his command uniform, strolled in. He first glanced coldly at the subdued Ni Qianfan, then shifted his gaze to the frail Wen Yi, as if examining a hard-earned trophy.
"Report to the General! The effect of the silence field has been confirmed, and the target's supernatural power fluctuations have disappeared." A technical officer promptly reported the situation on the scene.
Zhao Cheng showed a satisfied smile on his face, waved his hand to dismiss his attendants, and walked alone to Wen Yi with his hands behind his back.
Wen Yi looked up and sized him up. The general looked like a gentle and refined elder, with even kind smile lines at the corners of his eyes. If it weren't for the star on his shoulder signifying his status, he would have really looked like the elders who had taught her earnestly on Yuexi Mountain.
"Little girl, you've been wronged." He looked down at Wen Yi, who was kneeling on the ground due to weakness, and his tone was as gentle as that of an elder.
"It's truly unfortunate for you to be born with such a fate." He sighed softly, his voice filled with regret and pity. "Your fate in this life is already determined. If you can be reborn in the next life, remember to choose an ordinary family and live a stable life."
Wen Yi looked at him silently. His words were sincere and heartfelt. If it weren't for the soldiers behind him who were roughly escorting Ni Qianfan and the technicians who were busy confiscating Gu Yifeng's hard work, it would seem that he was genuinely thinking about her.
Wen Yi pulled the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh but not having the strength: "What are you going to do with us?"
Zhao Cheng looked at the decoherence instrument being carefully moved away by the technicians. His confidence in victory made him appear particularly calm. He patiently spoke to her a few more words: "Your strength and Gu Yifeng's technology should serve a greater goal - ensuring national security."
Wen Yi tilted her head: "What do you mean? You won't kill us anymore?"
"Kill you?" The old man smiled kindly. "That would be a waste. You are an unprecedented research specimen for us, and Dr. Gu's research results are key technologies for controlling superpowers. These are invaluable assets to the country."
"So you want to capture me for experiments and then take Gu Yifeng's research results for yourselves?" Wen Yi was almost laughing at his shamelessness.
Zhao Cheng continued to smile. "Young girl, you still don't have a broad vision. What's yours and his? In the end, isn't everything the country's?" He turned to the technicians and instructed them, "Handle carefully. These are important national assets."
Before leaving, Zhao Cheng stopped in front of Ni Qianfan.
"I'm very disappointed with your performance today." He glanced at Ni Qianfan coldly and said, "Your future ends here."
Ni Qianfan kept his head down, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. But Wen Yi was close enough to see his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress his surging emotions.
A strong sense of guilt surged into Wen Yi's heart.
It was because of her and Gu Yifeng that Ni Qianfan had fallen to this point. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't even utter the word "sorry". What right did she have to say this?
She lowered her head quietly, letting despair spread.
Without warning, there was a slight movement in the air.
The next second, something unexpected happened! There was a sudden commotion and exclamations outside the power room.
Zhao Cheng paused, his expression changed: "What's going on?"
A staccato voice came from the intercom: "Report! We're under attack from the perimeter! It's... it's an unknown psychic! Ah——!"
The communication ended abruptly after a scream.
The calmness on Zhao Cheng's face disappeared in an instant: "Impossible! How can there be supernatural powers within the silent field..."
As if in response to him, as soon as he finished speaking, a thin young man with a high ponytail and a woman in a purple dress appeared in front of everyone silently like ghosts.
Before Zhao Cheng could take any action, the young man casually raised his hand and pressed his palm downward, and all the gun muzzles pointed at him instantly fell to the ground.
Amid everyone's horrified gazes, they calmly walked through the crowd and went straight to Wen Yi.
When she saw who was coming, Wen Yi almost thought she was hallucinating due to her weakness.
Wen Shuyue? Wen Die?
How did they get here?
The shock lasted only a moment, then faded into understanding. It was unexpected, but also reasonable. Their lineage already lived in this area, and it would be strange if they were still unaware of such a commotion. But she hadn't expected them to be the first to find her.
After all, their relationship...is not really harmonious.
"It seems that we have come at the right time." Wen Die looked down at her with a smile.
Wen Shuyue was just like when they first met, looking at everyone with an angry and impatient look, but now he stretched out his hand to her: "Can you still leave?"
Wen Yi was stunned. Were they...really here to save her? She subconsciously glanced around. Under the oppression of Wen Shuyue's insane gravity field, the soldiers inside felt like they were being held down by an invisible mountain. Even looking up was a luxury. Zhao Cheng's face was ashen, his lips moving with difficulty, but not a single sound came out.
"Stop being in a daze." Wen Shuyue lost his patience and walked over to her, picked up her arm, and carried her steadily on his back. "Let's go."
At the same time, Wen Die lightly stroked with her fingertips, and the soldiers escorting Ni Qianfan disappeared instantly as if wiped out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the end of the corridor several meters away, falling into a heap in a mess.
Ni Qianfan was stunned in place. Before he could react, he heard Wen Die's smiling voice: "My dear brother, do you want to wait for the military trial, or come with us?"
Ni Qianfan glanced at the unexpected soldiers with mixed emotions, then glanced at Zhao Cheng, whose face was ashen. Without any hesitation, he bent down and carried the unconscious Gu Yifeng, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
"Then follow closely." Wen Die spun her fingertips lightly, and the obstacles on the evacuation passage seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible hand, clearing a path in an instant.
Wen Yi lay on Wen Shuyue's back, looking at Wen Die who was leading the way ahead. After a moment of silence, she whispered to the person under her: "...Thank you."
"No need." Wen Shuyue said coldly, without even turning his head, "It's not the turn of outsiders to bully the Wen family."
How could such nice words become so offensive when spoken by this person? Wen Yi gnashed her teeth in hatred and maliciously grabbed his long, smooth, black ponytail.
The fingertips felt like silk.
Wen Shuyue: "Fuck! What are you doing? Be careful or you'll be thrown down!"
Wen Yi: "It's actually true!"
Wen Shuyue: "What a psycho!"
The group quickly disappeared at the end of the passage and successfully met up with Wen Fu and Wen Yiyun who were waiting outside the control room.
However, the military's response was far faster than they had anticipated. More soldiers and heavy equipment poured in from all directions, forming a tight encirclement. Even though the Wen family members were exceptionally capable, they were now in a difficult situation.
Wen Shuyue's gravity field crushed scores of soldiers, but subsequent troops continued advancing from different directions. The armored squad in the distance was trapped by Wen Die in an infinitely looping spatial maze, repeatedly deviating from their path, unable to close in any time. Wen Fu repeatedly rewrote the physical trajectory of his bullets, his hands trembling slightly. Wen Yiyun used his formidable physique to support the soldiers who had broken through the defenses, but his line, under the enemy's overwhelming numerical advantage, was gradually compressed and disintegrated. Superpowers, though powerful, have their limits; the torrent of an army, however, is endless.
"We can't go on like this!" Ni Qianfan had no weapons, so he could only carry the unconscious Gu Yifeng and protect Wen Yi behind the cover. "There are too many of them!"
Before he finished speaking, a sharp whistle cut through the battlefield—
"Be careful!" Wen Yi looked up and saw a grenade was coming straight towards them with a trail of flame. She rushed to Gu Yifeng regardless of everything, instinctively trying to mobilize her strength, but her body was still dead.
It's over.
She closed her eyes in despair.
A few seconds later, the expected explosion did not occur.
The air around her suddenly stagnated, as if an invisible barrier had quietly unfolded, isolating her from the outside world. The deafening roar of artillery fire, the chaotic clatter of footsteps, and the hum of the radio all disappeared at that moment.
Wen Yi opened her eyes tremblingly. The oncoming bullets and grenades disintegrated in the air, turning into flickering spots of light all over the sky.
A little red-feathered bird flew through the hail of bullets, circled in the air, and landed lightly on her shoulder, chirping non-stop.
"elder brother……?"
She turned around suddenly.
Wen Chi had stood quietly behind her without her noticing, the hem of his windbreaker fluttering silently in the special domain. He maintained the posture of expanding the domain with one hand, and lifted her up from the ground with the other.
"Are you hurt?"
"It's okay..." Wen Yi's voice trembled, "Why are you here?"
Wen Chi didn't say anything. The next second, the windbreaker with body temperature wrapped around her ragged body, and then she turned to face the army.
The special domain suddenly expanded, enveloping the approaching enemy. The roaring battlefield seemed to have been silenced, plunging into an eerie, deathly silence. In the distance, several familiar figures appeared and disappeared, their supernatural powers pulsing in the air, suppressing the army's advance in various unimaginable ways.
Wen Yi stared blankly at the chaotic battlefield, her eyes suddenly fixed on something not far away - as if they had telepathy, her parents turned around at the same time in the chaotic crowd, through the flying gunfire and smoke, their eyes falling accurately on her.
Wen Yi was completely stunned.
Since waking up in Qingluan Mountain, she has endured the changes in her body alone, dodging the military's pursuit. In those dark hours, she believed this was destined to be a solitary battle—tormented by loneliness, despair in pain. But now, Gu Yifeng has braved this desperate situation for her. Her family, even her former enemies, would travel thousands of miles for her, stand before her, and fight the whole world for her.
Wen Yi's nose felt sore and tears rolled down her cheeks.
An arm suddenly pulled her into his embrace from behind. Gu Yifeng had woken up at some point, and his cold gaze made her back feel cold.
"You're quite capable." Gu Yifeng said coldly, "You've learned how to use a club to knock people out? Huh?"
Wen Yi felt guilty: "...misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" He tapped the back of her neck with his fingertips. "Hitting here? If you hit me with that stick, if anything happens, I'll have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair."
Wen Yi opened her mouth to retort, but he suddenly grabbed her chin. Their eyes met, and the fury in his eyes silenced her instantly.
"You sent me away and left me to face all this alone..." He laughed in anger, "Miss Wen, who gave you the courage?"
Wen Yi lowered her eyes and pretended to be dead, calling everyone "Miss Wen"; she was really angry.
During the stalemate, he suddenly put his forehead against hers in a frustrated manner: "After going through so much, don't you understand what I want?"
Wen Yi immediately rode the donkey down the hill, wrapped her arms around Gu Yifeng's neck like a dog, and rubbed the place on the back of his neck where he was hit in a flattering manner.
"I was wrong, I was wrong..." The rest of the words were crushed between the lips by the kiss.
In his arms, the roaring sound in my ears faded away, leaving only the deafening sound of each other's heartbeats.
At this moment, Zhao Cheng's voice woke up the two people who were hugging each other through the loudspeaker.
"Dr. Gu." His eyes fell on Wen Yi and Gu Yifeng. "I'm sorry that the situation has developed to this point. But for the safety of billions of people, please hand over Wen Yi and the wormhole suppression technology immediately. Otherwise, I will have to take necessary measures."
