Chapter 622 Despair

"Take care of yourself……"

"Take care of yourself!"

After saying that, one of them drove away from the scene quickly, while the other approached the direction where Wang Yang was cautiously.

Before, for the safety of the entire team, Zhou Yijun quietly developed a new technology that was directly linked to the satellite, so he could easily find their location.

"Teacher Wang, wait for me, I'm here to save you!"

Zhou Yijun's backpack contained weapons that he had treasured for a long time. He had never had the chance to use them before, but now the opportunity finally came.

He drove past the place where Lin Xiaolong had just escaped. The experimental base was already in a mess and burned beyond recognition.

However, Zhou Yijun didn't care about what happened here at all. He stared at the instrument in his hand that monitored the location and found that Wang Yang stayed in one place for a very long time.

"Young man! Can you take me out?"

Zhou Yijun was just about to leave when he seemed to hear someone nearby calling for help, the voice was very weak.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but the sound disappeared again.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

He shook his head and was about to leave when the voice rang out again.

"Young man! Please save an old man like me..."

This time, Zhou Yijun heard it clearly, and the voice was very close to him.

He quietly approached the place where the sound came from, which seemed to be a ruin.

"Is anyone there? Who is talking?!"

He looked around but saw no one.

"I'm behind the rubble. The explosion caused it to collapse and I'm blocked by the rubble."

Hearing this, Zhou Yijun ran towards the ruins without any hesitation.

Judging from the man's strong voice, he should not be seriously injured. He is probably just trapped.

Zhou Yijun stood in front of the ruins, looked at the time, and felt very conflicted.

"Should I save him? Teacher Wang is waiting for me..."

It would definitely take a lot of time to move the ruins in front of us.

He really couldn't afford to delay any longer. Every minute he wasted here would put Wang Yang in more danger.

"Please help me... If you leave, I will really have no hope..."

The voice became weaker and weaker, as if it had sensed Zhou Yijun's hesitation.

"We can't just watch someone get buried in the rubble and slowly lose hope." Zhou Yijun really couldn't bear to watch him die without helping.

"I'm here to save you! You must hold on!"

If there really was a time machine, Zhou Yijun would definitely regret his kindness at this moment.

The person buried in the rubble was the one who had just attacked Liu Yue!
The huge explosion just now, coupled with Liu Yue's final blow, caused the small compartment to collapse instantly, burying Dr. Zhu underneath.

Therefore, he failed to kill Liu Yue in the end.

"Come and save me! I can't hold on any longer! Help!!!"

When Zhou Yijun heard the old man's cry, he became more and more anxious.

But if he thought about it a little calmer, he would find that the old man's voice was full of energy, not weak at all, and even stronger than this young man.

This old man is clearly hiding his strength!
However, Zhou Yijun was already confused at this moment. On the one hand, he was worried about Wang Yang's safety, and on the other hand, the old man kept urging him, so he had no way to calm down and think carefully.

In fact, the old man was not injured at all. He was just stuck in the crack of the wall by the cabinet. The cabinet and the crack of the wall formed a triangular area, and he hid in this area.

"Kid, when you came in just now, did you see anyone else at the door?" Dr. Zhu remembered that when he attacked Liu Yue before, Liu Yue took the opportunity to escape.

According to common sense, Liu Yue should be lying on the grass, dying.

"I don't see anyone else, so please stop talking and save your energy..." Zhou Yijun really couldn't understand how this man, who was trapped here, could still have the leisure to inquire about what was happening outside.

If I hadn't passed by, the old man might have died here.

"Didn't see anyone? Could he have hidden somewhere else? This is too weird!" Dr. Zhu thought to himself. He had just used a fatal blow. Based on the force he had used, Liu Yue must be in great danger. How could he disappear out of thin air?

Unless someone took her away.

But it has only been half an hour since I escaped. Who has the ability to take Liu Yue away quietly?

"What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Please say it again. Forget it, forget it. You should conserve some energy..." Zhou Yijun didn't take the old man's words to heart at all. His mind was full of rescuing the old man as soon as possible and then going to find Wang Yang.

"Kid, can you tell me what happened just now?" Dr. Zhu was anxious to estimate how much he had lost based on the explosion at the scene.

Those bodies were of little value to him, and were of no help to his current research anyway.

Those things were lost, so were they. What he cared about most was his experimental data, which was the result of his life's hard work.

It is the hard work gained by plundering other people’s lives!

"Why is there such a loud explosion outside? Did everyone die? How could this happen? I have been working here for decades, and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

He pretended to be an ordinary old employee here. With this identity, he thought no one could see through his disguise.

Even Zhou Yijun was no exception. He felt that as long as the lies he made up were real enough, Zhou Yijun would not doubt him.

"Is this the first time something like this has happened? How long have you worked here? Has this really never happened before?" Zhou Yijun chatted with the old man while cleaning up the ruins.

In fact, he would rather work quietly, but the old man was too nagging, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't talk to him for a while.

"The explosion was relatively close to us, so we were also frightened, but now the explosion has stopped and only a ruin is left."

What Zhou Yijun said was indeed the truth. On his way here, he saw many people in white coats fleeing the place in a panic.

It seems like something really big happened here.

For those who come here to travel, what they value most is the local culture and customs.

"Just bear with me for a while, I will succeed soon."

Zhou Yijun lowered his head and kept digging at the rubble. Because he had no tools, he could only move it with his bare hands, and soon, all kinds of wounds appeared on his hands.

"Young man, can you hurry up? I've been bored here for a long time..."

An old man's somewhat impatient voice came from the ruins, and Zhou Yijun was furious when he heard it.

"I came here to save you. It would be fine if you didn't thank me, but you actually complained that I was digging too slowly!"

The old man's relentless words made Zhou Yijun feel something was wrong.

No matter how righteous a person is, shouldn't he be humble at the critical moment of life and death?

Besides, Zhou Yijun really tried his best!
"Young man, don't blame me for speaking harshly. If I didn't have a good physique, I would have gone to hell at your speed." Dr. Zhu acted as if he was preaching, but Zhou Yijun didn't buy it!
He suddenly straightened up, looked at the buried ruins, and laughed inexplicably.

"Young man, why are you silent? Have you left? You can't go back on your word!"

Dr. Zhu felt somewhat uneasy as he could not hear Zhou Yijun's voice at all.

"This kid is so outrageous! He wanted to save people but didn't really want to. He actually left an old man like me behind and walked away."

Dr. Zhu cursed and the hypocritical look he had just shown disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"You bastard! How dare you lie to me like this? Wait till I get out and see how I'll deal with you!"

"Luckily, Teacher Wang reminded me to be more careful, otherwise I would have been fooled by your hypocritical appearance!"

Zhou Yijun has now fully regained consciousness. Looking at the ruins before him, the ruins seemed to have unveiled the hypocritical masks of some people, exposing their ugly nature.

He stopped what he was doing, feeling deeply regretful for having trusted others so easily.

"No! Listen to my explanation. I was too anxious just now. Child, I'm really not the kind of person you think!"

When Dr. Zhu heard that Zhou Yijun had not left yet, he hurriedly tried to defend himself, but his defense only highlighted the ugliness in his heart.

"No need to explain, just stay here."

Zhou Yijun turned around and left without looking back, leaving Dr. Zhu shouting in despair.

"Kid! I'm really not what you think! Stop! Get me out now! Do you hear me? I'm warning you, if you dare to leave, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Even though things had come to this, Dr. Zhu was still so arrogant and domineering in ordering Zhou Yijun around.

"Come back! I command you to come back!"

Zhou Yijun turned a deaf ear to the shouting behind him. His heart was filled with regret. He had been soft-hearted just now and almost did a bad thing with good intentions.

"Teacher Wang, please wait for me! I will be there soon..."

Zhou Yijun watched the dots on the screen representing his and Wang Yang's positions getting closer and closer until they almost overlapped, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

Soon, the small dots representing the whereabouts of the two people completely overlapped, but when he arrived here, he could not see Wang Yang.

"Teacher Wang, where are you? I can't find you. I hope nothing happens to you!"

Zhou Yijun looked around worriedly. The dashboard showed that Wang Yang's location was right here, but there was no one in front of him.

He searched around carefully. The experience just now taught him a lesson, and now he dared not trust others easily.

After searching for a while, there was still no sign of Wang Yang.

"Oh God, please let me find Teacher Wang!"

He kept muttering to himself, hoping to turn around and see Wang Yang standing there safe and sound.

"Zhou Yijun...it's really you! Who asked you to come here?"

In a trance, Zhou Yijun seemed to hear Wang Yang's voice.

He turned around suddenly and saw Wang Yang standing on a platform not far away, looking at him.

"Thank goodness, Mr. Wang was not injured."

From a distance, Zhou Yijun roughly observed Wang Yang's condition, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.

He ran towards Wang Yang, wishing he could be by Wang Yang's side immediately.

This place always made him feel uneasy, as if only when he got close to Wang Yang would that uneasy feeling gradually dissipate.

"Teacher Wang! I'm so glad you're okay! Brother Xiaolong and Sister Liu Yue have left smoothly according to my arrangement. I came to see you!"

He ran and shouted, completely ignoring whether anyone around him saw what he looked like.

"I'm fine..."

It was not until he walked in front of Wang Yang that Zhou Yijun realized that Wang Yang's face was frighteningly pale.

"Teacher Wang, what happened to you? You look very bad. Are you injured? Let me help you."

From a distance, Wang Yang seemed to be fine, but when Zhou Yijun got closer, he realized that he was in very bad condition.

Wang Yang no longer held on and leaned on Zhou Yijun's back, breathing heavily.

Zhou Yijun looked at him with worry. Seeing Wang Yang like this, it was obvious that he was not okay. He was anxious but didn't know where to start. The anxiety was obvious on his face.

Wang Yang rested for a long while before slowly raising his head and looking at Zhou Yijun.

"It's okay. I just saw something I shouldn't have seen. I felt a little nauseous. I feel much better now..."

"Didn't I tell you to leave and go find Liu Dalong? Why did you come here alone? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?"

Out of concern, Wang Yang's tone was a little harsh, but Zhou Yijun knew in his heart that this was Teacher Wang caring about him.

This is true concern. Compared to the hypocritical old man just now, Wang Yang gave him a very reliable feeling.

"I was so worried that I turned around and rushed to you halfway. Teacher Wang, please stop talking. I'll take you away now."

Wang Yang had to take a long breath every time he said a word, and Zhou Yijun really couldn't bear to see him like this.

"If you want to beat me or scold me, we can talk about it after we get out. I will accept any punishment, but please don't talk now."

Zhou Yijun didn’t know what Wang Yang saw, but it was not difficult to guess from his expression that it must be something unacceptable.

"When will you be able to listen to me, kid? Let's go..."

Wang Yang had indeed expended a tremendous amount of energy. If anyone else saw such a scene, they would probably perform worse than he did.

Zhou Yijun supported Wang Yang and moved step by step towards a dilapidated car in the corner.

The means of transportation they had taken had long been completely destroyed. It was truly a blessing from God that they could find a car at this critical juncture.

"No, we can't drive this car."

As soon as Wang Yang saw the car, he stopped abruptly.

He confirmed it several times, then grabbed Zhou Yijun and pulled him away from the car.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the car?"

Zhou Yijun was startled by Wang Yang's action, and his heart skipped a beat. If they couldn't drive this car, given the size of the experimental base, they really wouldn't be able to leave smoothly for a while.

Wang Yang couldn't tell Zhou Yijun that just when he approached the car, the system in his body suddenly sounded an alarm, and the closer he got to the car, the harsher the alarm became.

Clearly, the problem lies with the car.

"Better safe than sorry. Did you run into anyone on your way here? For example, did you run into anyone who looked like an old man..."

Wang Yang didn't hold out much hope at first. After all, it was already very difficult for Zhou Yijun to reach him safely, so how could he expect him to see Dr. Zhu?
