Gao Wu: She who transforms into a broken body becomes stronger by adding points Chapter 076

The seventh floor of the rift.

The air was filled with a mixture of earthy dust and decay, making one’s throat itch.

Inside a certain women’s clothing store, the light was dim, the shelves were overturned, and the broken limbs of mannequins were scattered everywhere.

Deeper in the store, Zhou Shi leaned against the wall, panting heavily, the bandage on his left arm soaked with blood, his face as pale as paper.

Beside him, Xue Ling lay on his back on the ground, a large hole in his right abdomen, his armor plates shattered, his flesh turned out, and dark red blood soaked a small patch of ground beneath him.

His eyes were half-open and half-closed, muttering unintelligible syllables, his consciousness already blurred.

Gu Jinzhi squatted in front of Zhou Shi, expressionlessly treating the new wound on his chest with regenerative gel.

The wound stretched from his left shoulder to his right rib, looking terrifying, but it was not deep, only a flesh wound.

But Zhou Shi knew that if Gu Jinzhi hadn’t pulled him just now, he would probably be a corpse by now.

He looked at Gu Jinzhi’s sharply defined profile, watching the other party’s focused movements in treating the wound, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice:

“Mr. Gu… have you… really thought about it?”

Just now, Gu Jinzhi said that he had decided to continue deeper alone.

Zhou Shi was shocked and decided to confirm it one more time.

Hearing this, Gu Jinzhi’s movements didn’t stop, but his strength unconsciously increased a bit.

“Hiss—” Zhou Shi gasped in pain.

“Save your strength,” Gu Jinzhi’s voice was calm, still in that indifferent tone, “It’ll be over soon.”

Zhou Shi didn’t care about the stinging pain in his chest, and suddenly reached out, grabbing Gu Jinzhi’s arm: “Mr. Gu! Listen to my advice!”

“We came in ten… no, including you, eleven people… now… there are only three of us left!”

His voice trembled slightly, “Xue Ling is injured like this, I have to take him out! The road below…”

He paused, then gritted his teeth and said: “I know you’re worried about your wife, but rushing down there alone like this, what’s the difference between that and suicide?!”

“Mr. Gu, I, Zhou Shi, sincerely admire your skills!”

“A genius like you should live a good life!”

Gu Jinzhi acted as if he hadn’t heard anything.

After treating Zhou Shi’s wound, he reached out, gently, but irresistibly, prying open Zhou Shi’s fingers one by one.

Then, he stood up.

No explanation.

No farewell.

He just lowered his head, quickly checked the equipment on his body, and the supplies in his waist bag.

Then, he turned around, strode forward, and walked towards the deep darkness.

Zhou Shi’s hand froze in mid-air.

Looking at that tall and lonely figure.

Watching him walk away step by step, finally swallowed by the darkness.

He slowly lowered his hand, turned to look at the dying Xue Ling on the ground, his face full of complexity.

There was struggle, helplessness, and something inexplicable… was it admiration?

—————–

The staging area, the rift exit plaza.

At the edge of the distorted area, the light and shadow flickered slightly, and outside the temporarily erected cordon, Yang Yunshan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression gloomy.

The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger.

Investigators participating in the second wave of rescue emerged from the distortion one after another, and were quickly carried away by medical personnel.

Most of them had broken armor and were covered in blood.

Some even lost their legs and feet, their expressions numb.

Every person who came out was like a blunt knife, repeatedly cutting at Yang Yunshan’s heart.

At this moment, a clerical staff member responsible for statistics walked quickly to Yang Yunshan’s side, his voice difficult:

“Director Yang… in the second batch, eight teams, seven have already withdrawn.”

“Thirty-three dead, thirty seriously injured, and seven lightly injured.”

Yang Yunshan’s face twitched slightly, his tiger eyes staring fixedly at the distorted light and shadow in front of him.

“What about the third wave organized by the Martial Arts Alliance? When will they arrive?” His voice was hoarse, as if asking a question, but also like talking to himself.

The subordinate’s voice carried a hint of hesitation: “The alliance replied that the fastest… the fastest will be in twenty minutes.”

Twenty minutes?

Yang Yunshan’s heart was ice-cold.

Twenty minutes to assemble, then how long would it take to go deep into the rift?

Just then, the light and shadow at the rift exit fluctuated.

The next moment, Zhou Shi’s burly figure staggered out, with Xue Ling, who had fallen into a deep coma, on his back.

“Quick! Save him!” He endured his fatigue and shouted loudly to the medical staff.

The medical staff who had been waiting rushed up, took Xue Ling from Zhou Shi’s hands in a flurry, quickly put him on a stretcher, and pushed him towards the emergency area.

Zhou Shi wiped the blood and sweat from his face, walked quickly to Yang Yunshan’s side, and almost knelt down with a stagger.

“Director Yang!” His voice was hoarse, with lingering fear, “Our team… is finished!”

Yang Yunshan met his bloodshot eyes and no longer needed to ask for details.

The second wave had also completely failed…

Suddenly, he thought that the Gu family’s kid should be in Zhou Shi’s team.

Yang Yunshan’s face became even more unsightly.

Although the Gu family’s momentum was not as good as before, after all, the Martial Immortal in his family hadn’t fallen!

If this young couple from the Gu family were to die in his jurisdiction… he couldn’t imagine how much trouble would follow!

“Where’s Gu Jinzhi!” Yang Yunshan asked anxiously.

“Mr. Gu… he…” Zhou Shi took a breath, a complex look on his face, “He said he was going to find Miss Jiang… he didn’t retreat with me…”

“What?!” Yang Yunshan’s temples throbbed, and a burst of anger almost broke through his head.

Nonsense! It’s just nonsense!

How could these two be so worrying?

The rescue operation failed, and Min Zimo probably couldn’t be saved.

Now, another Great Perfection and a Martial Immortal family heir had been trapped…

Yang Yunshan’s steel-cast spine, at this moment, finally couldn’t withstand the repeated pressure, and slightly hunched down.

After a while, he waved his hand, signaling Zhou Shi to deal with his injuries first.

Zhou Shi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh, and he silently retreated.

The clerical investigators standing quietly around did not dare to breathe, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Yang Yunshan stared at the ground, his eyes empty.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and took out a black communicator from his waist.

His fingers stroked the cold metal shell of the communicator a few times, with a trace of trembling, and pressed a preset number.

The communication was quickly connected.

“Director…” Yang Yunshan’s voice was extremely difficult, with a sob that he himself had not noticed, “I’m sorry… this operation…”

However, his words were not finished.

An accident happened!

The distorted light and shadow at the rift exit surged violently again, more violently than any previous time!

What is this?

Signs of about ten people returning through the teleportation?

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats!

The next moment.

“Puff—”

Eight embarrassed figures were “spit” out of the rift, falling to the ground one after another.

The first one was Hu Yucheng!

And behind him, the person carried on Ma Tao’s shoulder…

“Team Min!”

Someone exclaimed in shock!

Yang Yunshan straightened his body suddenly, and the communicator slipped from his hand with a “thud” and fell to the ground.

His eyes widened, staring at these blood-soaked figures!

Hu Yucheng, Ma Tao, Sun Yufei… Min Zimo!

They… how did they get out?!

Also, why are they… all crying?
