Chapter 568 Rescue (Part 2)

"Stop arguing, there are other people, not just us," Jaidi suddenly interrupted, his face more grim than ever before.

“It’s pointless.” He suddenly murmured, repeating a phrase that seemed to be directed at both them and Jiang Hui: “There’s no need to argue. Man is right, this is not the outcome she wanted.”

“There are still children and ordinary people here who shouldn’t be involved in this. And there’s nothing we can do here. Everyone, go up. We really can’t leave Jiang here. We need to find someone else to rescue her—find someone capable.”

It can only be this way.

The children fell silent; they knew that what Jaidi said was true, a cruel yet undeniable fact.

"Go...go quickly!" Jaidi stopped trying to persuade them. After all, no one wanted to die; perhaps they just lacked an excuse.

He chuckled to himself, glanced at the two figures locked in a fierce battle in the distance, their condition unknown, gritted his teeth, and led the way into a side path. The others hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hui, enduring the pressure, watched the icons on the screen gradually recede into the distance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Let's go, everyone go...

Uh, again?! Sensing the Star Beast's intentions, Jiang Hui's mind raced, trying to find a breakthrough.

This intense attack showed no intention of giving her a chance to survive. Jiang Hui was somewhat relieved that she had just sent everyone out of the entire cabin, so she could unleash her attacks without any restraint—

Jiang Hui wouldn't be so foolish as to wait for its third critical hit.

This damn thing can't even find its target after three attacks. I don't know whether to call it stupid or just plain stupid, but it just gave her the opportunity.

But its carapace was just too rough. Jiang Hui felt that the other arm that had been stabbed was going to be useless, and the upper half of it had even lost its mobility.

Jiang Hui had no doubt that if she rashly rolled over or switched to her legs, things would be even worse, and she would lose all mobility. So... this was her only chance, and she had to be extremely careful, or else she could forget about anything else.

The pressure on the other side of her arm remained unabated, and the armor seemed to have slightly widened its distance. Without hesitation, Jiang Hui seized the opportunity to dart away from the narrow space created by the other party.

What would happen if I fell from such a height? But no matter what, it would be better than what I am now.

The underground space had limited height, and Jiang Hui, after a hasty escape, had to fall straight to the ground due to the remaining height. The powerful impact caused many parts of the mecha to scatter, and even the base of its feet to loosen. The mecha was essentially half-destroyed and had lost its ability to move.

The sudden, unexpected fall caused her to crash completely to the ground, and her senses were immediately connected to her entire body, with every part of her body being violently attacked in that instant.

Pain, pain all over her body. That was the only feeling Jiang Hui had at the time, yet her consciousness was so clear now.

She felt as if a huge, sharp knife was churning inside her head, causing waves of stabbing pain, as if some long-imprisoned beast was roaring to break free.

"Boom—" As expected, the thing discovered her escape and turned around to attack.

Looking at the enormous beast rushing towards them, Jiang Hui felt no fear, but rather a sense of excitement.

So be it, let's see if she makes a scene before she dies, otherwise it would be a disservice to the miserable journey she's endured. Seeing the giant beast's head crashing down like a mountain, Jiang Hui closed her eyes at that moment. And somehow, a wall of needles, densely packed and gleaming with a cold light, had appeared below the viewing window on her chest, angled towards the head of the alligator snapping turtle.

A vast amount of spiritual power, seemingly accumulated over a long period, surged out of the "prison" of the brain, wrapping around the fine needles according to the master's will. It then rapidly expanded and projected a proportionally enlarged needle wall, which nimbly curled up from both sides and stabbed towards the head and neck of the alligator snapping turtle.

Since her mecha can't beat her, let's test her mental strength... to see if it's tough enough to cut through the opponent's tough skin.

--------------

It has to be said that Jaidi and his group were truly lucky. The landing point where Jiang Hui sent them away happened to be very close to the exit. Although the surrounding area had collapsed beyond recognition, the people who were eager to survive and seek help quickly found the direction of the exit.

They didn't care whether the area above was, as Jiang Hui had said, perhaps already overrun by star beasts and turned into a living hell. Staying there wouldn't be much better for them, and it would truly be a waste of Jiang Hui's efforts.

However, the scene before them was beyond their imagination. When they arrived at the first floor, they found that the area above resembled ruins, a chaotic mess with bloodstains and severed limbs everywhere. Many unrecognizable items were scattered about, revealing the horrific scene that had unfolded.

But none of that mattered. The crucial point was that they discovered the first floor, which, according to Jiang Hui, should have been bustling and crowded, was completely deserted and eerily silent. Not only were there no people, but even the beasts outside were nowhere to be seen; the doors were wide open, and the place was utterly empty.

Could it be that those "invaders" have already successfully broken in? Have the survivors already become food for the star beasts?

Several people present were on the verge of collapse because their children had been rescued by their combined efforts under such desperate circumstances. They had survived by sheer luck, but what about their children?
The group walked a few steps toward the exit, bewildered and lost. Before they could pull themselves together and continue their search, they heard a series of orderly footsteps rushing in from all directions, instantly surrounding them.

It turned out to be a group of... soldiers.

Are these people? Not star beasts, but humans, soldiers dressed as replicas of their imperial soldiers. They've come to rescue them, as reinforcements—

The survivors who had just narrowly escaped death from two dangerous situations almost burst into tears.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"

"My child...my child, was he rescued?"

"We're saved! Hurry down there, there are still people waiting to be rescued."

The soldiers seemed not to hear them, and did not relax their guard. They simply stood quietly on one side, guns at the ready, as if waiting for someone.

"Tap tap tap——"

Another synchronized march took place, this time slightly different from the gentleman's, clearly carrying an air of authority.

The soldiers who had surrounded them parted to make way for a few more people, and the young officer in the lead glanced at them. Before he could ask anything, two more men approached from behind, their footsteps hurried, and one of them seemed somewhat familiar.

"You're here... Where is Jiang Hui?" The boy's face was pale, and his tone was urgent, as if he was certain that they knew the news.
