A figure, like a madman, was tearing apart the burning, twisted steel and concrete blocks with his bare hands, still emitting flames and black smoke! It was Li Zhou!
He was obviously very close to the impact point when the explosion happened. His clothes were burned with holes, his face was covered with black ash and blood, and his hands were bloody. However, he seemed to feel no pain at all. He let out a discordant roar like a beast and desperately lifted up piece after piece of hot rubble.
"Gu Yuxiao——!!" Li Zhou's voice was hoarse and distorted, drowned out by the roar of the flames and the shrieking of the sirens, but it was like a red-hot iron burning Gu Yuxiao's heart.
"Get the hell out here! You said we were going to catch Night Owl together! Wake up! Wake up—!"
He used his shoulder and bloody hands to forcibly push aside a huge, burning concrete slab with sharp edges, revealing a corner of dark clothing that was pressed underneath!
It’s Gu Yuxiao!
Half of his body was buried under heavy rubble, and blood was constantly oozing from a deep wound on his forehead. The blood flowed through his tightly closed eyes and cheeks covered in black ash, appearing particularly glaring in the firelight.
His suit jacket was torn, the expensive fabric soaked in blood and mud. He lay motionless, his life or death unknown.
"Yu Xiao!" Li Zhou's eyes were bloodshot, and the cry was heart-wrenching, filled with the despair of impending death.
He fell to his knees and desperately used his hands to dig out the hot gravel and steel bars beside Gu Yuxiao. The hot metal instantly burned the skin of his palms, making a hissing sound and a burning smell, but he was completely unaware.
"Hold on! Gu Yuxiao! You damn well hold on!" He was scratching frantically and roaring at the same time, his voice broken. Tears mixed with the black dust and blood on his face, leaving two messy marks.
Fear was like an icy poisonous snake that tightly wrapped around his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He can't die! How can he die!
At this moment, a hand stained with blood and dust suddenly stretched out from the gap in the rubble, like a claw of survival reaching out from hell, and tightly grasped Li Zhou's burned and bloody wrist!
The power was astonishingly great, with a determination like a dying struggle!
Li Zhou's whole body was shaken, ecstasy and horror rushed to his head at the same time! He suddenly looked down.
Gu Yuxiao, who was buried under the rubble, opened his eyes slightly at some point. His eyes, which were always calm and deep, were now covered with blood and smoke, and his pupils seemed a little dilated.
Those eyes burned with a light that Li Zhou had never seen before, an almost frantic light! It was not the joy of being rescued, but like a dying beast smelling the traces of a hunter.
Gu Yuxiao's lips moved with difficulty, and the gushing blood blocked his voice.
He used up all his remaining strength to grab Li Zhou's wrist, pulling it, trembling, and struggling to pull his other hand, which was also covered in scars, out of the rubble beneath him bit by bit.
The hand was clenched into a fist, and sticky blood continued to seep out between the fingers.
Then, under Li Zhou's extremely astonished gaze, in the surrounding hellish background of rising flames and billowing smoke, Gu Yuxiao used up the last bit of his willpower and suddenly spread out the bloody fist.
In the palm of his hand lay a small badge.
Most of the badge was covered in blood and soot, but the sharp outline of the edges and the unique abstract owl pattern in the center, with its wings flapping, still exuded a gloomy and cold evil aura under the flickering firelight.
Night Owl Badge!
Gu Yuxiao stared at Li Zhou with dilated pupils, his bloodstained lips opening and closing with difficulty once again. This time, a few broken, hoarse words, like poisoned ice cones, finally came out:
"I smell his...smell..."
