Chapter 49 (2/2)

“Yeah right! Just focus on running faster—o back for Zhou Yu!”

Just then, a series of explosions went off and their surroundings started to collapse,their ears buzz

Li Qian was aled hi Li Qian, Wu Yun clenched his jaw and kept running

Zhou Yu was running while avoiding the falling pieces There was another explosion and the ground protruded up, then collapsed back down

Zhou Yu felt so behind hiround

“Goodbye, Zhou Yu”

When Zhou Yu turned back around, he found that everything behind hiet trapped? Or…

His brain instantly blanked out

“Don't look back, keep running”

The voice echoed again in his hts returned to hianism; it was impossible for him to die that easily

Zhou Yu recovered his co hard

Before he could reach the outside extension of the observation station, the entire area above his head collapsed!

Zhou Yu experienced what it was like to have the whole world topple over, but he was too s and cliain many times, Zhou Yu squeezed out of a space that was nearly ie fallen on top

He wanted to live… He couldn't die here!

Seeing that the entire passageas about to collapse on top of hier support hi broke through the collapsed wall to co opened up and shi+elded Zhou Yu's head, propping up the re froht into Mo Ye's eyes

“Hnn…” Mo Ye shook his head, throwing off dust

The destruction and explosions continued; they were in danger of being buried alive at any given moment

“Mo Ye… Why are you here…?” Zhou Yu felt like he was drea

Mo Ye rubbed Zhou Yu with the tip of his nose and continued supporting their cover He turned around and faced Zhou Yu with his back

Zhou Yu i his neck He knew that Mo Ye was really strong, but he wasn't sure how Mo Ye was going to get them outside

When Zhou Yu pressed his face into Mo Ye's back, he felt its softness and war doom of the outside world mattered anyh Mo Ye's body, the rhyth, and how he tensed his reat that you're here…” Zhou Yu said softly

He thought he would be trapped under there, alone, but Mo Ye had arrived

Just as the entire observation station was about to fall to ruins, Wu Yun ca in the car, they could feel the nitude of the destructive power behind the crushed inside

“Oh my God…” Li Qian turned back to look at the ruins, his heart pounding wildly as if he had just descended from the top of a roller coaster

The others who had also escaped looked to the direction of the observation station So out in alaring each other

They had survived to live another day

Wu Yun's hands were pressed on the steering wheel He lowered his head and shut his eyes “What about Zhou Yu? Did you see hi survived another day abruptly froze over “I… didn't…”

“I', I'll dig him out!” Wu Yun slalanced at Zhou Qing, as sitting in the backseat and not yet fully awake He also got out of the car “I'll go look for hiritted his teeth and shoved away the broken wall Everyone else stood nearby, unsure of as happening

Even knowing that Zhou Yu could not have lived, Wu Yun refused to give up

He couldn't remember the last time he cried, not could he tell whether it was tears or sweat that ran down his face

Han Li ca out of another car “Is Zhou Yu… still in there? I didn't see him come out…”

Wu Yun didn't speak Li Qian nodded

Han Li looked away, teardrops plopping to the ground The others starting urging Wu Yun to decide on whether they were to head for base 2 or not If they delayed things any longer, night would soon fall and things would becoerous for thee when a loud sound came from the rubble like a volcano eruption Countless pieces of debris andout into the sky by the strong force The sunlight slanting down froht spots, those particles of dust reaching a su Everyone looked up to see a blur of a figure shoot towards the sky, shadowed against the sun

Wu Yun's eyes widened His s were suddenly unfurled inin the sky, there was an unimpeded sense of freedom in such a display of raw absolute power

At the , the audience that been held captive was finally released, and everyone breathed out in relief

Zhou Yu opened his eyes His heart was haht leap out of his chest

He still reether with Mo Ye Brushi+ng past the debris had scratched up his body and his hands were only barely holding onto Mo Ye Every joint in his body seemed to creak The breeze ruffled past his hair and down his back It was the sprint of a beast breaking through the dawn

Mo Ye quietly caround Then he spread out his winds and wrapped up Zhou Yu, as lying on his back, waiting until his breathing evened out

Wu Yun snapped out of his daze He still wasn't sure if what he was seeing was real He walked up to them, a step at a tiap in Mo Ye's wings

“Oh my God… You're still alive! You're still alive! You fucking… If you had really died, then I have no doubt Zhou Qing would shoot htly on his shoulder ”If you don't bring Zhou Qing out, I'll shoot you right now”

Wu Yun s and Wu Yun slapped Zhou Yu's back twice

Zhou Yu looked up at the sky The sun was setting “We should go”

As soon as Zhou Yu turned around, Mo Ye caainst Zhou Yu's knee, as if he was sensing andsure of Zhou Yu's body te you… He wasn't that small…” Wu Yun reached out to rowing all this tiroas not the same as Doctor Carlos' estiarded Mo Ye as a child, but perhaps the current Mo Ye was no longer one

“Hnn…” Mo Ye opened his eyes and peered up, looking like he was expecting so

“Thank you” Zhou Yu bent down and put his forehead against the top of Mo Ye's head

Without Mo Ye, he would have died countless times over already

“It's tiet to base 2… Our base is waiting for us to find the key to controlling the virus in the en jellyfish” Han Li reo!” Zhou Yu patted Wu Yun and their group returned to their vehicles

Zhou Yu settled down in his seat, and before he could close the door, Mo Ye scras

Zhou Yu spread out his arms, helpless but unsure if he should hold hi fellow; it was surely against the rules to deliberatelycute

But for Wu Yun, nothing elseas Zhou Yu was alive

He was ecstatic It ritten all over his face He drew out a cruarette from so “It's a heartache” which gave Li Qian a headache [1]

“Hnn…” Mo Ye deliberately rubbed the top of his head against Zhou Yu's chin Being brushed by the soft fluff, Zhou Yu sighed and held hihter

It would have been painful for an ordinary person to be hugged by Zhou Yu like that, but Mo Ye wasn't hurt He obediently let Zhou Yu hold hihtly

When the ruins of the observation station disappeared cohed

“What's the matter?” Wu Yun asked

“The observation station was destroyed so I have no way of watching the surveillance footage now” Zhou Yu told everyone about Doctor Lin

“Yeah… I'd like to see what happened too… Juli Corp should bring over soen drives people crazy…” Wu Yun la out the here the sunset had dyed everything cri it into a bloodstained world, Han Li said, “It's loneliness that drives people crazy”
