Chapter 705: Narrow Escape
Looking at Yu Xiangyu, Gui Xiaoxu said, "CEO Yu, Miss Bai and I are close friends. I will stay here and watch over her."
Glancing at Yu Tianshuo, he added, "Old Master Yu must be tired. You should take him back to rest."
Yu Xiangyu frowned slightly, a trace of curiosity appearing in his eyes.
’Miss Bai and CEO Gui are close friends? Since when?’
Though puzzled, he was more concerned about his paternal grandfather’s health. "Alright. Then please take care of Miss Bai. We will visit her again tomorrow."
"Mhm."
With that, Yu Xiangyu supported his paternal grandfather and left the hospital.
After they were gone, Gui Xiaoxu turned to Pei Jianyuan. "CEO Pei, why are you still here?"
Clenching his fists, Pei Jianyuan held back his words and turned away.
Watching his retreating figure, Gui Xiaoxu’s eyes flickered. At that moment, only he knew what he was thinking.
While Gui Xiaoxu was busy arranging his men to protect Bai Hanyun and inviting top doctors and professional caretakers from around the world, in the ancient world, Hua Yuyu and his team were in the middle of a fierce battle.
Inside the border town of the Jin Empire, Hua Yuyu and his team were surrounded by a sea of walking corpses.
Standing back-to-back with Gao Gong, Hua Yuyu urgently asked, "Xie Wei, how much longer until it’s ready?"
Protected in the middle of the formation, sweat dripped down Xie Wei’s chin as he replied without looking away from the explosive device in front of him, "Almost! Give me one more minute!"
At his words, Hua Yuyu gritted his teeth and shouted, "You heard him! Keep shooting!"
"Yes, Captain!" Gao Gong and the others responded, determination blazing in their eyes.
Facing countless undead, there was no fear—only a strong will to survive.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots echoed through the eerie surroundings as time seemed to slow down.
Forty seconds later, Xie Wei finally shouted, "It’s ready!"
Hearing this, Hua Yuyu’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he ordered, "Open a path!"
The moment he spoke, the others responded in unison, "Roger that!"
While the team cleared a path for their retreat, Xie Wei carefully carried the black box in one hand while firing his gun with the other.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With every step they took, more undead formed from the black mist shrouding the border town.
Seeing this, Wu Jun shot down another undead and shouted, "Captain, their numbers keep increasing! We need to leave before we run out of bullets!"
Understanding the danger of prolonging the fight, Hua Yuyu immediately ordered, "Use grenades!"
At his command, Gao Gong slung his gun aside and pulled out two grenades from his Qiankun Pouch. Yanking out the safety pin, he hurled one toward the undead.
The moment it hit the ground, the grenade exploded.
Boom!
In an instant, more than a dozen undead were blown apart, black blood splattering everywhere.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Seeing its effectiveness, Gao Gong’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he pulled the pin on the second grenade and threw it in the direction of their escape.
Boom!
After the second grenade cleared a group of undead, Hua Yuyu ordered, "Push forward!"
Following his command, the others fired faster while throwing grenades from time to time to lessen the pressure.
Ten minutes later, they finally reached their destination.
Twenty meters ahead, a large, round stone slab carved with strange symbols emitted black mist. As the team got closer, the number of undead increased exponentially.
Unable to handle their numbers, Bao Shengjie shouted, "Brother Yu, there are too many of them!"
At his words, Hua Yuyu clenched his jaw and made a quick decision. Without stopping his shooting, he ordered, "Xie Wei, give the explosive to Gao Gong! Gao Gong, throw it at the stone slab!"
"Yes, Captain!" Receiving the order, Xie Wei quickly activated the explosive and handed it to Gao Gong. "Twenty seconds!"
"Roger that!" Gao Gong responded. Aiming at the center of the stone slab, he threw the explosive without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hua Yuyu quickly opened the portable space and time portal.
Wuung~! Wuung~! Wuung~!
At the sight of the familiar black portal, Wu Jun and the others instantly understood Hua Yuyu’s plan.
The moment the portal stabilized, Hua Yuyu shouted, "Jump in!"
Without hesitation, all of them leaped into the portal.
Left alone, Hua Yuyu took out a grenade. Pulling the safety pin, he jumped into the portal. A second before disappearing, he threw the grenade at the undead in front of him.
Boom!
At the same time, the timer on the black box hit zero.
Boom!
In an instant, a massive explosion erupted, shattering the stone slab into pieces.
When the dust settled, the undead had been blown apart, and the border town had become ruins.
Appearing in Bai Hanyun’s bedroom, Bao Shengjie fell onto the carpeted floor with a soft thud.
"Ouch."
Rubbing his forehead, Bao Shengjie felt the softness beneath him. Opening his eyes, he saw a spacious room decorated in an ancient Chinese style.
Getting up from the floor, he muttered dazedly, "This is... Miss Bai’s bedroom?"
Just as he said this, the others rushed out of the portable space and time portal behind him. Without warning, they crashed into Bao Shengjie, turning into a pile of human pancakes.
Crushed beneath his brothers, Bao Shengjie let out a muffled cry, "Ouch!"
Before he could catch his breath, Hua Yuyu rushed out of the portal, completing the human pancake stack.
The moment he stepped out of the portal, it exploded and shattered.
Crash!
Hearing this, Hua Yuyu quickly turned around, only to see nothing behind him.
Meanwhile, Bao Shengjie was on the verge of death. Groaning, he said weakly, "Br–brothers... please get up... I–I’m dying..."
At his words, Hua Yuyu snapped back to his senses and hurriedly got off the pile of human pancakes.
After everyone got up, Wang Kaiye squatted beside Bao Shengjie, stared at him, then asked with a hint of worry in his cold voice, "...Are you alright, Shengjie?"
