In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Those who participated in the battle during the day were all asking the reason why.

Why was martial law suddenly declared, and why was the camp placed on the highest alert level?

That Class A ferocious beast did escape, but just because it escaped doesn't mean we need to be so strict about it, does it?

The main warriors were asked the question, but none of them could answer why.

Only Deputy Battalion Commander Fang saw the pit.

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang also did not release the news.

In his view, this was a terrifying and earth-shattering piece of news.

Once the news spreads, morale at Sunset Mountain camp will collapse completely, and it could even affect the overall security of the situation.

Residents of peripheral cities will most likely move their entire families to the central region.

With so many A-level ferocious beasts appearing, a large-scale evacuation of the city may indeed be necessary.

But these are things that he, as the deputy battalion commander, cannot decide.

All he can do now is conceal it and hide the news completely.

The martial artists who came to provide support, including Kang Yong, were also taken away to be placed under martial law.

Taking this opportunity, Kang Yong and his group found Luo Jinfan.

Li Yuan is their captain, so they should act together.

But this time, Li Yuan didn't return, while Luo Jinfan and the others returned safely.

"I know you have issues with Li Yuan, but as teammates, don't you even have the slightest intention to help him?!"

Kang Yong and his group were somewhat angry.

To be honest, they hadn't known Li Yuan for very long.

But Li Yuan, as the team leader, truly lived up to their expectations.

In their eyes, Li Yuan was an excellent and outstanding captain.

At this moment, they wanted to demand an explanation for Li Yuan.

The people being chased and verbally abused, including Luo Jinfan, showed no intention of arguing at this moment.

The members of the special forces team all lowered their heads, their faces full of shame.

This young man, Jiahao, seems to have changed his personality.

"What are you all keeping quiet about? What exactly happened? Tell me!"

Kang Yong and the others were eager to know the outcome of the matter and whether Li Yuan was dead.

"We do bear some responsibility for this incident."

We were foolish to insist on fighting those little rock bears.

Captain Li Yuan reminded us, we were too stupid..."

The previously arrogant special forces member is now talking about his own problems.

Luo Jinfan, who was standing next to him, did not speak, but he lowered his head, clearly admitting his mistake.

The team members who didn't approve of Li Yuan had all lost their previous arrogance.

From the moment Li Yuan made his accurate judgment, they had already begun to agree with him.

When that Class A ferocious beast appeared, recognition turned into acceptance.

Everyone, including Luo Jinfan, was enveloped in fear the moment they saw the Rock Bear Demon.

But Li Yuan drew his sword and went to meet him.

That kind of courage is something they can't match.

Rock Bear Demon broke out of the encirclement and dared to pursue with all its might.

No matter what, Luo Jinfan wouldn't dare say anything bad about Li Yuan.

He himself knew that his previous assessment of Li Yuan was complete nonsense.

What kind of "third eye" or "unique insight" is it? It's nothing more than a prediction based on intuition.

"Captain Li Yuan was dragged into the depths of the wilderness by the Rock Bear Demon. We didn't dare follow him to find out the details..."

But there's likely to be danger...

The members of the special forces team looked somewhat apologetic.

This apology also reflects disappointment in himself.

They considered themselves to be incomparably brave, valiant, and resourceful.

But in reality, they were so terrified by the Rock Bear Demon that their bodies stiffened.

The captain, whom they looked down upon, dared to step forward and, in a sense, even protected them.

Having said that, Kang Yong and the others understood.

Having fallen into the depths of the wilderness, and being neither a ninth-rank nor a grandmaster, how could Li Yuan possibly survive?

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang led the main force to chase after them, but ultimately had no choice but to return.

He's an eighth-rank martial artist; even this deputy battalion commander couldn't do anything about him...

Meanwhile, Li Yuan spent the entire night mentally simulating the operation of opening the gate.

The two of them already felt a distinct sense of oppression in the huge laboratory.

In this laboratory, physical strength is rapidly depleted.

Even though she hadn't done anything and was resting to conserve her energy, Xia Yao was still very tired.

Unsurprisingly, these are all special circumstances of this laboratory.

Li Yuan's situation is better than Xia Yao's. His cultivation of the "Heavenly Gang Body Refinement" has made his physical strength even better than hers.

At the same rate of wear and tear, it can last longer.

Around 3 a.m., Li Yuan prepared to get started and try to open the gate.

The laboratory has two exits.

The area inside wasn't originally designed as an exit.

However, after the ground collapsed, it became an exit.

Li Yuan wanted to try unlocking the lock, so naturally he couldn't choose that spot.

Even if you go out and face a dense horde of A-level ferocious beasts, you will still lose your life.

Seeing Li Yuan about to unlock the door, Xia Yao forced herself to step forward and help.

"I'll hold the flashlight for you, you just focus on unlocking the door."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan rejected the suggestion.

"I can't see inside the lock cylinder, so I can use the tools in my hand to sense the situation."

"Using the light will only help locate the lock cylinder."

Li Yuan told Xia Yao to rest, but she insisted on continuing and shone her flashlight over.

At this moment, Li Yuan was already standing in front of the gate, trying to unlock it with the wire in his hand.

Swan cast iron is best suited for gates connecting mechanisms.

There can be no room for error; a mistake could trigger the mechanism.

Xia Yao didn't have much confidence in Li Yuan, but she was still supportive at the moment.

She felt her strength rapidly waning, and it seemed unlikely that the two would receive rescue soon.

Let alone whether the rescue team will be able to open the gate.

Even if it were possible, by then, she and Li Yuan would most likely be dead.

My strength was still waning, and I put down the flashlight.

Changes in light generally have an impact.

Fortunately, it was Li Yuan who was in charge of these operations.

Concentrate fully and carefully unlock using the [Dexterity] talent.

Although he couldn't see inside the lock cylinder with his eyes, Li Yuan could mentally visualize it through hand gestures.

This is probably what it means to be confident and prepared.

Before even starting to paint, I already had a clear idea of ​​what the whole painting would look like.

Li Yuan is in that situation now; he has already figured out the entire unlocking process in his mind.

If you keep your hands steady and don't shake, you'll definitely be able to unlock it!

Five minutes later, Xia Yao was sitting completely on the ground, leaning against the wall.

She didn't even have the strength to open her eyes and look at Li Yuan.

The moment I closed my eyes, it felt as if my consciousness disappeared.

When she opened her eyes again, Li Yuan was already carrying her on his back, and the dawn was breaking in the distance.

Li Yuan took small steps, trying his best to suppress any sound.

Seeing this, Xia Yao was stunned for a while before she remembered what had just happened.

In other words, Li Yuanzhen unlocked the lock and rescued her.

"You're finally awake. Carrying someone who's unconscious is quite a struggle..."

Li Yuan said something in a low voice.

An unconscious person, if their back is soft, will slide down.

Carrying them while fleeing would only create a serious burden.

However, the most difficult stage is over, and it's good that she's awake.
