Chapter 153 We Will Meet Again Someday
"Disaster……"
Qiao Lan responded weakly.
She was having trouble moving now.
It was a terrible feeling, as if all the air in my body had been drained out. I felt like I was dying but not dead, and even breathing was difficult.
Not far away, Captain Xiao fainted shortly after the sound waves began.
He was seriously injured during the battle, and his special ability was mental, which consumed too much mental energy. When he was seriously injured, he was hit by the sound waves of mental attack and suffered the greatest damage.
His two subordinates were also in a coma or semi-comatose state.
Ye Qi barely helped Qiao Lan up. The two of them were staggering, but they didn't have the strength to carry their companion on their backs.
"Sister...Brother Wen..."
Qiao Lan called out to Wen Jiaojiao who was lying in the distance with difficulty.
Wen Jiaojiao pulled the corner of her mouth towards her, showing an indifferent smile, and pushed herself up with some strength.
But after taking two steps towards them, he fell to the ground again.
When Ye Qi saw this situation, he pushed Qiao Lan away and turned around to walk towards the enemy.
"You go first, if you can go... cough cough cough... whoever can go is the best!"
He risked his life to take the blame, buying time for Qiao Lan to escape.
"Let's go together..."
Qiao Lan staggered after being pushed by Ye Qi and held onto a big rock to catch his breath.
Ye Qi just stubbornly faced the enemy.
Qiao Lan cursed him inwardly as a fool.
He slid down the stone and sat on the ground, too weak to stand up again.
Even if he sacrificed himself to cover her retreat, she would not be able to escape now.
Wouldn't it be more romantic if the two of them died hand in hand?
Of course she knew that was impossible.
Even if it was Qiao Lan who could move now and Ye Qi who couldn't move, she would not wait for death obediently. She would try her best to find hope even if there was no hope.
They are just like this, they refuse to give up struggling until they die!
——Then I won’t let your kindness and sacrifice go to waste and try to find a way to escape.
Qiao Lan couldn't stand up, so he crawled, using his limbs to support himself on the ground. It was very difficult, as he moved little by little, in the opposite direction of Ye Qi.
Even if it's in vain, don't give up!
Even if the enemy rushed over the next second, she would rather die on the way to escape than wait to die.
"Big sister, let's...climb together..."
She called out to Wen Jiaojiao over there.
If one person can leave, that’s fine. If two people can leave, that’s even better. Don’t waste Ye Qi’s sacrifice to cover the retreat.
It's not that I'm abandoning him, but there's no point in dying together. The right thing to do is to keep him alive and take revenge later.
Wen Jiaojiao heard the call and smiled at her again, and then they really crawled out of the battle circle together.
This is rationality without any hesitation.
On the other side, Ye Qi had already walked to a place about ten meters away from the "King" with a pace that looked like he was about to fall.
At this distance, whether the opponent uses visual or sonic mental attacks, it can cause a fatal blow to him.
Before that person improved his strength, the two of them could fight evenly matched and both suffered losses. Now that the opponent has an additional attack ability and is in full swing, his victory is inevitable.
Besides, Ye Qi has basically no ability to fight back now.
He is committing suicide by doing this.
But he wanted to prolong the process of dying as much as possible. Even if it was just a few more seconds, it would give Qiao Lan more chances to escape.
"I don't know yet...your...your name."
He opened his mouth, trying to delay time with conversation.
Wang, who was launching a new round of sonic attacks on the water pipes, glanced at Ye Qi when he heard this.
He also took a look at Qiao Lan and Wen Jiaojiao who were crawling desperately over there.
So he easily understood Ye Qi's intentions. However, he didn't care at all. Because with his current ability, even if he chatted with Ye Qi for a few minutes and asked Qiao Lan and the others to crawl further away, what would it matter?
If he wanted to, he could easily kill them all.
So after completing another wave of sonic attacks, he answered Ye Qi's question.
He replied, "Crown, my name. I admire you more, so I can tell you."
Ye Qi continued to walk slowly towards him, panting, but refused to stop.
Hearing this, he asked, "That word guan, is it the guan for observation, or... is it the guan for closing, or... cough cough cough..."
"The crown of the crown," the king replied.
Ye Qi then asked, "Is it because of this special...name that you...became king, rather than being the thugs'...emperor, governor, or lord?"
Wang smiled and said, "You are quite good at asking questions continuously, and you are quite good at talking nonsense to delay time."
But he still answered.
Said: "It's not because of the name, but because I have the ability to be king."
"You do have it." Ye Qi had already walked within five meters.
The other person was standing on a pile of rubble two or three meters high, so he used his hands and feet to climb up the rubble.
At one point, he fell down halfway and couldn't get up. He lay motionless as if he was dead, but after a few seconds he stood up and continued to crawl.
The rough bricks and stones had worn through his clothes, and his skin was covered with various wounds. He looked shabby and ragged, and his movements were slow and stiff, like a broken puppet thrown into a garbage dump. However, he kept climbing up.
There was no expression in his eyes, which showed extreme fatigue and weakness, but there was a glimmer of determination.
The king stood on the ruins, looking down at him quietly.
His gaze was like that of a god who could control the fate of all living beings, mercilessly looking at the futile struggles of the ants on earth.
But after a while, when Ye Qi was only two meters away from him, he could easily lift his foot and knock Ye Qi away.
He began, "I pay you a little tribute, warrior who would rather die than surrender. It's only a little, because you haven't experienced torture more cruel than being wounded."
If Ye Qi was like him, and could remain unyielding even in excruciating pain on the experimental table, he would truly admire him.
"Have you ever suffered anything more cruel than being hurt?"
Ye Qi asked intermittently while climbing, still trying to delay time.
Wang ignored the question this time. The energy he had consumed had been restored, enough for another sonic attack, so he turned around and attacked the water pipe.
The buzzing sound caused heavy losses to the people in the basement.
It also caused Ye Qi, who was standing nearby, to bleed from all seven orifices and could no longer crawl, stopping less than a meter away from Wang.
The king ignored him. After the sonic attack, he said calmly, "If we can both survive, we will surely meet again in the future."
Then, the blue and white hospital gowns rose in the wind.
Wang Fei jumped off the rubble, picked up two seriously injured King Kong men in the distance, and ran away quickly, soon disappearing from sight.
He didn't kill Ye Qi, who could be killed with just a wave of his hand, nor did he jump over to kill Qiao Lan and the others. He just left.
The setting sun finally fell behind the distant horizon.
The sky and the earth were gray.
A wobbly fighter plane flew in the distance. It was the one Xiao's detachment had contacted earlier. The damaged aircraft flew unsteadily, but it finally landed on a relatively flat, narrow street not far away.
