Chapter 83 (1/2)

“Captain! Captain!”

Yu Fuling tried to wake Shen Yuan, but Shen Yuan was pale and motionless, his breath was extremely weak. She was so nervous and at a loss, she helplessly looked towards Xue Junli.

“The captain was hurt so badly! What should we do? Will he… Will he…”

Xue Junli was also pale because of excessive blood loss, “Let’s find a way to get out of here quickly. As long as we return to the City of the Abyss as soon as possible, the captain definitely can be saved!”

Sai Lulu also looked like she was about to cry, “But even the transfer cabin can’t repair damage caused by the Abyss Demon…”

“Even if the transfer cabin doesn’t work, there must be another way!” Xue Junli gritted his teeth and said with red eyes, “As long as we return to the City of the Abyss, there will be a way!”

Everyone could tell that Xue Junli had no real confidence, but no one exposed him. Everyone’s eyes were red. After a moment, Yu Fuling suddenly spoke with difficulty, “That… Xiao Tangqiu…”

Xiao Tangqiu was floating in the air and didn’t expect Yu Fuling to mention him. He was a little surprised. Not just him, everyone fell silent and their expressions became very heavy.

Compared with the uncertain fate of Shen Yuan, the death of Xiao Tangqiu was irreversible. Even if they did not completely accept and recognize Xiao Tangqiu as a new teammate, they had experienced life and death together, not to mention Xiao Tangqiu died to save their captain…

Xiao Tangqiu kept floating in front of everyone, doing everything he could to tell them that he was not dead yet, that he would be resurrected in a hundred days. But no one could see or hear him.

At this moment, a certain part of the ruins suddenly moved, and a faint cry for help came out.

“Help… Help me…”

Duan Hongzhen was the first to react. He walked to the pile of ruins and quickly dug out Tang Mianmian with one hand. Fortunately, this guy was buried very shallowly, and he didn’t suffer any serious injury.

Seeing that Tang Mianmian was okay, Xiao Tangqiu breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately floated to Tang Mianmian. The two of them have known each other for so long, maybe Tang Mianmian can see him?

However, Tang Mianmian’s gaze passed through Xiao Tangqiu’s body, looked at the Duan Hongzhen who dug him out, and asked anxiously, “Where is Qiuqiu? What happened to Qiuqiu!”

“I am here! I am here!”

Xiao Tangqiu replied subconsciously, but in the next second, Tang Mianmian passed straight through his body and grabbed Duan Hongzhen by the collar, “Where is Xiao Tangqiu! Where is he?!”

Duan Hongzhen looked at Tang Mianmian heavily and did not answer, he even let Tang Mianmian grab his collar.

Tang Mianmian seemed to realize something, but he couldn’t believe it, so he demanded over and over again, “Speak! Say something!”

Duan Hongzhen was silent for a long time before speaking, “He is dead.”

Tang Mianmian immediately retorted, “Impossible! How can he die? This is impossible!”

Duan Hongzhen, “Calm down.”

Tang Mianmian shook his head, “Impossible! That is impossible! He must be here! He must be still under the ruins!”

Xue Junli said coldly, “Wake up. All of us saw it. He is dead.”

Tang Mianmian gritted his teeth and said, “Why are you so cold-blooded! Even if you don’t see him as a friend, he is still someone who went through danger with you!”

“I have witnessed the death of my companions countless times…” Xue Junli said lightly, “I also know that sooner or later, death will come to me. I am not cold-blooded, just calm.”

Tang Mianmian did not hesitate to say, “If the dead person is Shen Yuan, will you be as calm as you are now!”

Xue Junli, “Your what if is meaningless.”

Tang Mianmian stared at Xue Junli with red eyes, “Qiuqiu must be under this rubble! I am going to dig him out! I must dig him out! We came here together, and we must go back together!”

Xue Junli, “You obviously saw him die with your own eyes, why deceive yourself?”

“I must save him… I must save him!”

Duan Hongzhen sighed, raised his hand, and knocked Tang Mianmian unconscious.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds before they finally turned to worry about Shen Yuan. Each of them was injured to different degrees. Shen Yuan was on the forefront against the Abyss Demon so he suffered the most serious injuries and was in a critical condition. They must leave this instance as soon as possible and return to the City of the Abyss.

Duan Hongzhen carried Tang Mianmian with one hand, Xue Junli and Yu Fuling supported Shen Yuan between them, and they all quickly left.

Xiao Tangqiu immediately floated to follow. He sometimes looked at the unconscious Shen Yuan, sometimes looked at the knocked out Tang Mianmian. His mood became heavier and heavier. He wanted to tell everyone that he was alive, but he couldn’t.
