#122 - Chapter 122: Love Around the Corner
As time smoothed things over, the crowd gradually regained their senses.
Someone opened their mouth in lingering shock and doubt: "Is that big guy dead?"
The silence was broken, and the dimness in everyone's eyes slowly receded, with glimmers of light emerging from the depths.
"Should... should be dead, right?"
"Then... then can we hold out until the rescue arrives!"
"Looks like it!"
In an instant, everyone burst into tears of joy, and the oppressive stuffiness that filled the hall, like snow exposed to the scorching sun, slowly melted away.
The young couple hugged each other excitedly.
The young man, having survived the disaster, touched his chest and took deep breaths of the cool air.
Only Liu Fushu looked grave.
Supported by Yan Jian, he limped out of the hall and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, the vulture soul soldiers and the vulture flock were constantly tearing at each other, evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
Liu Fushu turned his head and asked, "That child's ability is great strength, right?"
Yan Jian nodded lightly: "Yes, it's great strength. He had the strength comparable to the third level of restriction while at the first level."
Hearing this, Liu Fushu slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the black birds in the sky should be the ability of his spiritual Xuan artifact. He's not dead yet."
As he spoke, Liu Fushu reached out and grabbed Yan Jian's arm: "Quick! That child's condition is very bad. You guys go find him quickly, quick, he's in that direction."
Liu Fushu pointed in a certain direction, his pale and weak face showing visible anxiety.
Yan Jian nodded like a chick: "You stay here and take care of yourself. I'll take people to find him."
After settling Liu Fushu, Yan Jian beckoned to his subordinates and ran in the direction Liu Fushu pointed.
The sound of propellers turning came from the top of the building, followed by several ordinary helicopters slowly taking off, also beginning to search.
Seeing Yan Jian and the others leave, Liu Fushu strained his voice and shouted to the crowd in the hall: "Quiet down!"
After all, he was a fifth level of restriction expert, and his voice was still very loud, immediately suppressing all the noise in the field.
In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Fushu.
"Is it too early to celebrate now? Li Chenqiu, who saved us, is now in critical condition and his whereabouts are unknown. He may die in a few minutes, or even a few dozen seconds!
If he dies, these black birds protecting us in the sky will disappear, and then we will all die. Li Chenqiu is in that direction. Those who want to live, come with me to find him!"
After speaking, Liu Fushu staggered out of the gate, leaning on a horizontal saber.
The crowd in the hall looked at each other, and soon a young man squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the gate, while turning his head and shouting to the crowd:
"What are you still doing? The roads are all blocked by vehicles. If Li Chenqiu dies, who can guarantee that they will survive!"
As soon as these words came out, more and more people woke up and rushed in the direction Liu Fushu pointed, either alone or in groups.
Ma Mian, who had been staying on the top floor, also rushed downstairs in a hurry: "Don't go, family members, I'm going to find Li Chenqiu, and give the family members a real-time exclusive interview. The excitement cannot be missed!"
...
...
In a collapsed house ruin, Li Chenqiu was embedded in a load-bearing wall, with three thick reinforcing steel bars inserted into his abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Bright red blood, like a swarm of ants, overflowed from around the steel bars, sliding down the wall, forming an irregular blood-colored graffiti.
The soft moonlight poured down from the sky in the rain-free zone, falling on Li Chenqiu's dilapidated body, and the flowing blood reflected the bright moon, the dark clouds, and the torrential rain in the distance at this moment.
"What's going on?"
Li Chenqiu raised his arm and aimed it at the moon. Under the moonlight, wisps of faint blood-red gas floated out of his arm and flew into the air.
Not just his arm, but his whole body was like this, like boiling water, and a faint smell of blood could be faintly smelled.
After being shaken to the ground by the aftershock, Li Chenqiu could feel that the life energy accumulated in the past two days had been exhausted, with some used to strengthen his body and some used to delay the aging of his body.
And the blood he had drunk into his stomach began to be converted into life energy, spreading to his limbs.
But what surprised Li Chenqiu was that only one-tenth of the blood was converted into life energy, and the other nine-tenths could not be converted at all.
And it kept getting less and less, turning into gas, just like now, floating out of the body.
"Strange."
Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, then put his hand on his chest, throwing the question to the back of his mind.
This is not something he is worried about now, he has a more important task - pretending to be seriously injured!
Li Chenqiu tilted his head, and his face turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, to the point that even a dead person would have to say it was amazing.
After a while, the sound of propellers stirring the air came from a distance, followed by a burst of messy footsteps.
"Li Chenqiu--"
"Li Chenqiu, where are you?"
"If you hear us, make a sound, we'll rescue you!"
"Did Old Liu point in the wrong direction? There's no one here?" Someone scratched his head, looking around in confusion.
Yan Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Old Liu wouldn't be wrong, search carefully, you guys go over there, I'll lead the team over there!"
Under Yan Jian's instructions, the search area was further expanded, and the search difficulty also increased.
But as more and more people joined, the speed of advancement also became faster and faster.
No one was slacking off, on the one hand, they were grateful to Li Chenqiu, and on the other hand, they were worried about their own safety.
In the distance, Ma Mian squatted halfway on the ruins, looking at the camera with a tired expression:
"Family members, the anchor really has no strength, please help the anchor, a pair of sunglasses advances ten steps, a hot air balloon advances one hundred steps, a carnival accelerates running, whether you can see Li Chenqiu depends on your strength!"
[Cool Summer: Anchor, keep up the good work, I'll recharge and send you gifts!]
[Cool Summer: Sent a little heart]
Ma Mian's face darkened: "I see this friend's intention, but this sincerity..."
[Rich and Willful: Sent little hearts * 88]
[Rich and Willful: Sent little hearts * 66]
[Thrifty Housekeeper: Sent hot air balloons * 99]
[One Month's Salary is One Thousand: Sent carnivals * 88]
...
"Hahaha!" Ma Mian swept away his previous fatigue and stood up excitedly: "Thank you for your support, family members, the anchor will go find him!"
Saying that, Ma Mian strode and ran, his eyes scanning sharply around like an eagle.
A minute later, whether it was fate or a twist of fate, Ma Mian's face changed, and he suddenly stopped.
He stood there for a while, then turned his head stiffly, meeting Li Chenqiu's dim and dull eyes.
"This?" Ma Mian looked dumbfounded.
Turning a corner and meeting love?
