Chapter 149: Blemish Of Time (Part 2) Ii (2/2)

Gunshots were still ringing incessantly over the phone and explosions sounded from time to time.

”I need you to save me,” Dahai answered.

I started hearing shots from not far away as well. These armed men have made a move on the village.

”How do I save you? You can't come out,” I stated.

”I told you I'm hiding something from you. I've invented a reverse protective suit. There's a small s.p.a.ce inside for me to keep sufficient nutrients and a blade of gra.s.s. It'll be enough to sustain me. Give me a few more decades and I will be able to overcome the restriction of the gra.s.s,” Dahai said.

”What do I need to do?” I asked him.

”Activate the belts in the kiosk. I'll go over to the end of the belt and give you a call. Switch it on and transport me out through the trash belt,” he instructed.

”Alright, but you only have 20 minutes. The gunmen are here in the village as well,” I warned.

”I'll only need 10. I'm leaving now. Run if you don't receive my call by then,” he finished.

I ran toward the kiosk, which was situated right in the center of the village.

The armed men were split into two waves, one into Blemish of Time and the other closing in on the village from all around.

I thought about escaping and forgetting it all because it was simply too difficult to get to the kiosk in that situation.

However, the idea of obtaining perfect immortality gave me courage.

I touched my wrinkled face with both hands and thought about all that had happened.

If I left for good, the place I had worked hard for over 30 years would be obliterated.

I would then lead a solitary but eternal life.

What would I get if I helped Dahai? His suit only had one blade of gra.s.s.

Or perhaps this blade was enough for us to make a comeback?

And given more time, can Dahai really unravel the secret behind perfect immortality?

I started sprinting toward the kiosk subconsciously.

The first thing I did upon entering was to shut all the windows and pull the screens down.

I then activated the conveyor belts and waited for Dahai's call.

My heart was beating extremely fast that I could practically feel it all the way up in my throat.

I regretted not having set a secret code with Dahai and could only pray that his phone wouldn't be robbed by a soldier.

As all kinds of thoughts ran through my mind, my satellite phone lit up.

I switched the conveyor belt on and picked up the phone.

”There are two guards behind me!” he yelled.

I raised my gun, held my breath, and took aim.

Each round took about 60 seconds to complete and every second was torture for me.

Seconds ticked by and Dahai finally appeared before me in the suit.

I pulled him up to a side and saw two shadows coming closer.

I pulled the trigger twice and Dahai slammed the emergency stop b.u.t.ton as he gasped for breath.
