412: Hotel explosion

At the glass window on the corner of the second floor of Longbow Stream Valley, Wang Yuhao's figure crashed through the glass like a dragon.

Immediately after, Kai Silva's arm, equipped with a Powered Exoskeleton, grabbed the window frame.

Then, with the help of the Powered Exoskeleton, he also leaped inside.

Next, the figures of David Ferrer, Mai Xiaowen, and Zoya entered one after another.

Mai Xiaowen quickly tapped on the signal decoder, then said with a furrowed brow: "I can't scan the bomb's location! It's an improvised explosive device!"

"There's no time to dismantle them one by one, save the people first!"

Zoya first scanned the crowd struggling to squeeze out on the first floor.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jacob and Demulan leaning against the second-floor wall.

With almost no hesitation, she immediately rushed to the two of them and raised her hand.

A micro-drone carrying adrenaline instantly injected itself into the two of them.

Demulan, who had been half-dead, had her pupils clear up quite a bit.

Listening to the ticking of the bombs, Mighty Dragon's expression also turned grim.

"Damn it, Old Black was right!"

"At this rate, there are only 15 seconds left until the explosion!"

"We can't save those people, take Demulan and Jacob away first!"

Mighty Dragon patted Kai Silva on the shoulder, then quickly rushed to Jacob's side.

He threw the gun in his hand onto the ground and grabbed Jacob's wrist.

The latter opened his eyes hazily, and as he looked up, he met Wang Yuhao's gaze.

Having just closed his eyes for a moment, Jacob already felt like he had been in a deep sleep.

Now that he opened them, he felt as if he had just woken from a dream.

"Hiss—!" The sudden pain in his legs let Jacob know that this was not a dream.

Seeing the bullet holes on Jacob's legs, Wang Yuhao's pupils constricted.

"Red Wolf! They are injured!"

He then quickly reached into his chest rig, took out a painkiller, and roughly shoved it into Jacob's mouth.

Wang Yuhao wasn't doing this to make Jacob feel better, but because of the other's injuries, he would likely struggle while being carried.

Kai Silva, standing nearby, heard this and similarly shoved a painkiller into Demulan's mouth.

Once the painkiller was swallowed, Jacob felt the pain in his legs gradually fading.

Although he couldn't completely stop feeling the pain, it had reached a tolerable level.

Immediately after, Wang Yuhao yanked Jacob up, passed his right hand through Jacob's legs, grabbed Jacob's hand, and hoisted him onto his shoulder.

The advantage of Wang Yuhao doing this was that while one hand was freed up, the other hand could simultaneously control one of Jacob's legs and his arm.

Furthermore, this carrying position would be more energy-efficient.

On the other side, Kai Silva simply brought Demulan's legs together and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

With the strength boost from the Powered Exoskeleton, Kai Silva only needed a convenient position.

"Retreat!" As the words fell, the two of them quickly rushed toward the second-floor window.

Meanwhile, Mai Xiaowen and Zoya had already climbed out from the side and extended their arms toward the interior.

Kai Silva forcefully tossed Demulan outward, and the two of them caught her simultaneously, pulling her out.

Immediately after, Kai Silva also followed by vaulting out the window.

At the same time, he extended his arm toward Wang Yuhao, who was behind.

The latter pushed Jacob over, then gave him a hard push from behind.

Relying on the strength of the Powered Exoskeleton, Kai Silva pulled Jacob directly out with one hand.

Immediately after, Wang Yuhao nimbly leaped out of the window.

As the group was preparing to leave, they noticed David Ferrer, who was still rummaging through his backpack on the second floor.

"Niao Shou Shou! What are you waiting for? It's about to blow!!"

"I fucking know that!" David Ferrer shouted back without turning his head.

"Those people can still be saved!" he shouted, while constantly pulling cover after cover from his backpack.

"There's no time to save everyone!! I said retreat!!" Kai Silva's voice kept shouting from outside the window.

Seeing this, Wang Yuhao immediately wanted to rush back to drag David Ferrer out.

Slap— Kai Silva grabbed Wang Yuhao and pulled him back.

"Can you just drag him out directly?!"

"So are we just supposed to watch him be an idiot?!" Wang Yuhao slapped away Kai Silva's arm and jumped back in.

"Fuck! I meant I would go!!" Kai Silva couldn't help but curse when he saw that.

With the Powered Exoskeleton, he could naturally drag David Ferrer out more easily.

"None of you listen to orders!" Kai Silva stopped paying attention, then hoisted Jacob onto his shoulder and leaped down to the outside of the hotel.

Mai Xiaowen and Zoya, one in front and one behind, carried Demulan's upper and lower body respectively, and leaped down together onto the lawn outside the hotel.

Bang— Bang bang— "Run quickly, get out of the blast radius!"

The moment he landed, Kai Silva rushed into the distance while carrying Jacob.

Mai Xiaowen looked back at the hotel with concern, then gritted her teeth, and together with Zoya, carrying Demulan, followed Kai Silva.

Inside the hotel. "Go! Are you trying to die?!" "You're being an idiot at a time like this?!"

Wang Yuhao was pulling hard on David Ferrer. The latter struggled free from the restraint, rushed over, and grabbed a cover.

"Don't stop me! This should be enough!" "They are blocked at the door, I just need to use enough covers to wrap them up."

"Even if they can't come out unscathed, at least they'll be left with a breath of life and won't die directly!"

While explaining, David Ferrer was frantically throwing covers toward the first-floor entrance.

"Are you not even going to save your own life?" Wang Yuhao shouted anxiously. Then he bent down, picked up a cover, and mimicking David Ferrer's actions, threw the remaining covers toward the door one after another.

"One life, in exchange for so many people, that's worth it." "Damn you, now it's two lives, that's a bit of a loss!"

"Hahahaha, it's still not a loss, your life is worthless too." "Get lost, my life is worth way more than yours!"

The two of them cursed at each other while throwing the covers. To say they weren't nervous at all would be a lie. If they weren't nervous, they wouldn't be cursing at each other to relieve the pressure.

Beep beep beep— Beep beep beep—! Beep beep beep—!!!

The ticking sounds of the bombs coming from all around grew increasingly rapid, and the last few covers were thrown out by the two.

At this point, the people at the first-floor entrance were scrambling to get out, and the area behind those crowded at the door had already been completely protected.

If the explosion were inside the hotel, these covers would indeed be able to help them absorb some of the impact. But if the explosion came from both sides, or if there were explosives outside too, then there would be no saving them.

"That's enough, it's about time!!" "My propulsion energy is almost charged, I'm faster than you! You go out first!" Wang Yuhao urged anxiously.

Facing Wang Yuhao's anxiety, David Ferrer smiled and grabbed him. "I was the one who stayed behind first, which is why you stayed; can I let you cover for me?"

"With that small frame of yours, you're not as strong as me."

Facing David Ferrer's forced grab and hold, Wang Yuhao didn't even have time to react before he was pushed out the window. Immediately after, David Ferrer tried to climb out himself.

"Give me your hand!! There's no time, hurry!!!!" Wang Yuhao reached out at the window, shouting frantically.

Beep beep beep—!!! Beep beep beep—!!! Slap— David Ferrer's hand successfully grabbed Wang Yuhao.

Wang Yuhao glanced at the height behind him. Then, without hesitation, he activated the power propulsion device.

Whoosh—!! Although it wasn't fully charged, in the current situation, being able to use some external force would naturally increase the chances of survival.

Boom—!!! The sound of the power propulsion device rang out simultaneously with the sound of the explosion inside the hotel!

The sound of the explosion easily drowned out the sound of the power propulsion device. Not only that, the fire of the explosion also completely swallowed Wang Yuhao.

Under the gaze of Kai Silva and the others, Wang Yuhao's backward-flying figure rushed out from the fire of the explosion. No, rather than rushing out, it was more like he was forcibly pushed out by the explosion!

"Wang Yuhao!" Kai Silva's pupils suddenly constricted.

Based on Wang Yuhao's trajectory in the air, he accurately estimated Wang Yuhao's landing point, then threw Jacob aside and rushed out at full speed!

Thump thump thump thump—!! Bang—!!

Ultimately, before Wang Yuhao hit the ground, Kai Silva leaped up and caught him. Then, using his own body as a cushion, he mitigated the impact.

Immediately after, Mai Xiaowen and Zoya rushed over, their hearts skipping a beat!! At this moment, Wang Yuhao's helmet and armor were more than half shattered! On his chest and abdomen, there were gruesome explosion wounds. And in his hand, he was gripping tightly onto a severed arm with a white tattoo.
