Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

I just came out of the large substation, and the air outside was much cooler than inside.

Perhaps because Han Che had been in that building for so long, exposed to that intense heat, he even shivered.

Han Che immediately got up and ran north along the road, with Xiao Bai and Qi Yuzhe on either side of him. The three of them moved quickly in a triangular formation.

As they ran to the north corner of the substation's perimeter wall, the mule emerged from a clump of grass.

He had pulled the elevator switch as planned, and then followed the wall to the meeting point.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiaobai and the others running towards him. "Sister Xiaobai!" he called out, then his gaze swept over Han Che's injuries and scorch marks. "Brother Han! Are you alright?"

Han Che nodded. "It's alright! Let's go, let's get out of here quickly!"

Mule glanced at the back of the line and noticed someone was missing—Qiu Ying wasn't there. "Where's Qiu Ying?"

Xiao Bai tilted her head and continued, "She insisted on going alone, and we couldn't persuade her otherwise."

After hearing this answer, the mule sighed and didn't ask any further questions.

He had known Qiu Ying for quite some time and knew that once she made up her mind about something, nothing anyone else could say mattered; that was definitely her style.

The four of them immediately sprang into action, exchanging information as they ran.

"Just now, a lot of Asara soldiers suddenly appeared around here!" the mule said.

"It was all Said's doing. Let's hurry and get to the evacuation point at the dam," Han Che explained.

Mule nodded, glanced back at Han Che who had no hands, unloaded his own Tenglong sword from behind his back, and handed it to Han Che, "Brother Han, use this first!"

Han Che didn't reach out to take it, but only glanced at the gun in Mule's hand. "If you give it to me, what will you use it for?"

Mule grinned and pulled another weapon from his backpack, which was also a Tenglong rifle.

The gun had some gray and dark red stains on it, but it looked intact. "I have more!" He waved the gun in his hand.

Han Che was stunned. All the personnel who died were in the main building. They had been fighting and there was a big fire. They didn't have time to collect the equipment. When did they pick up the mule?

Qi Yuzhe said, "These are the equipment of those two beasts, Feng Ming."

Han Che frowned. "Why would they give you their equipment?"

Before Mule could answer, Qi Yuzhe chimed in, "Sister Xiaobai was executed by them." He shrugged as he said this.

Han Che stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened, and he turned to look at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai also lowered her head slightly, as if she had done something wrong, avoiding his gaze, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and pursing her lips slightly, as if waiting for Han Che to say something.

Xiao Bai was a little afraid that Han Che would blame her for being too impulsive and ruining the reputation he had worked so hard to build for the club.

"Well done! I wanted to kill them both right then and there! Qi Yuzhe had to stop me! Well done, Xiaobai! That felt so good!" Han Che gave a thumbs up in praise.

Hearing Han Che's praise, Xiao Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

Qi Yuzhe: "..."

He had been worried that killing the people from the Fengming Club would cause big trouble for the 78 Club.

But it turns out that you two brutes hit it off immediately, and I'm the clown, right?

He didn't say it aloud, just stared at the two of them with a look of utter disgust.

"Are you coming or not?" Qi Yuzhe asked impatiently.

"Let's go! There are still a few minutes left! Let's get to the evacuation point first, and we can talk about the rest after we get out!" Han Che said.

The three immediately continued running towards the dam.

Along the way, Asara soldiers kept appearing. These soldiers no longer stood casually in the middle of the road patrolling as before; their appearances were much more covert than before.

Many of them would pop out and fire a burst of bullets when they saw Han Che and his group running over, and then retreat.

But this level of harassment didn't cause any real trouble for the four of them. Han Che and Qi Yuzhe each took turns firing to suppress the attack.

The soldiers would attack whenever they showed their heads, and wouldn't pursue when they retreated; the firefights along the way didn't waste too much time.

As they ran towards the parking lot on the east side of the administration building, they passed a corner of a wall. From behind that corner came a sudden shout: "Here you go!"

Han Che was at the front of the group. When he heard the shout, he only glanced at the corner of the wall.

There was a figure moving behind the wall, but the figure did not show itself, hiding behind the wall for cover.

Han Che felt there was no need to go out of his way to deal with one of Asara's soldiers, so he continued running forward.

"Ah! A grenade!"

Upon hearing this voice, Han Che paused in his steps, his ears perking up instantly.

He glanced back at the corner of the wall and saw a black, round object fly out from behind the corner. The object drew an arc in the air and landed straight on the road to their side.

Han Che's pupils contracted. Without thinking, he lunged towards Xiao Bai and Qi Yuzhe, who were closest to him, and used his body to press the two of them to the ground.

boom!

The grenade kicked up a cloud of dust, but fortunately, the fuse was quite long, and Han Che reacted quickly enough to avoid any serious injury.

However, Han Che was headless and unarmored, so he was still injured.

"These Asara soldiers can throw grenades?" Little White asked in surprise as he got up from the ground.

Qi Yuzhe also looked incredulous, "I've never encountered this before!" He had seen it in a game in his previous life, but he hadn't encountered it since he transmigrated here.

He looked at Han Che and found that Han Che also looked confused. It seemed that this was the first time Han Che had encountered this, which was one of the changes brought about by Said's badge.

The mule was some distance from the explosion and wasn't seriously affected. He immediately ran over to treat Han Che, saying, "Brother Han, don't move! I'll treat you!"

He then wrapped the bandage around the wound, opened the first-aid kit, and immediately stopped the bleeding with two injections, adding blood as well.

Han Che was a little shocked; he hadn't expected the mule to be so efficient at spraying pesticides.

Han Che stood up from the ground and stretched his shoulders. The injury on his back was not serious and would not affect his ability to continue running.

But as soon as he stood up, he sensed something different.

The killing intent senses picked up a signal the moment he straightened up again. The signal was coming from behind him, across several walls on the other side of the parking lot. It wasn't close yet, but it was rapidly approaching them.

Han Che frowned and said in a low voice, "Said and the others are catching up."

The group immediately continued running towards the dam evacuation point. "Why is he still chasing us?" Mule exclaimed.

Han Che naturally knew why they were chasing, but he didn't understand how Said and his men could catch up so quickly. Judging from their footsteps, he could tell that Said had brought the Crimson Owl Squad with him.

A machine gunner and a flamethrower soldier should not have been able to catch up with them at all.
