17: Heart ape!

Sacrifice.

It also depends on whether one has the qualification.

Those in the first echelon will forever be the most admirable people.

Hu Hai had not received a mandatory order from above.

This order was given by him.

He had already felt it.

If he dragged the team along, the whole squad might fall completely.

The group of people ahead were too precious.

Li Qing, Ye Su, and the only batch of Professionals currently in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

And his own weight, if truly weighed, would be insignificant.

"Brothers, I'm sorry---"

Hu Hai stood still like a statue, whispering softly.

He didn't dare look back.

The death order was given by him.

However.

There was no blame in the eyes of the rescue team.

As if this was only right and natural.

---Ye Su's pace was quickening.

With nearly half the people gone, he was able to pull the team out of the range of the blade-like grass.

At this moment, the entire squad was deathly silent.

Especially those at the rear of the squad.

They had originally been pulling the rescue team members.

An inexplicable and complex emotion spread.

Heihu's eyes were nearly blood-red.

But there was a cold dampness on his face.

Mo Xiaoyu, who was almost carried on Ye Su's shoulders, was in tears.

Tears fell and splashed onto Heihu's face during the high-speed movement.

Heihu's mouth curled into a grin.

He looked at Mo Xiaoyu with an ugly smile, seemingly wanting to comfort this child from the ivory tower.

This is responsibility!

This is what we should do!

His rough appearance and delicate gaze seemed to say these words.

Ye Su felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

An extremely unpleasant feeling welled up in his heart.

No matter how he tried to suppress it, he couldn't.

He was no Saint and didn't want to shoulder the reason for any sacrifice.

But he was just frustrated.

Screech, screech, screech--- At this moment.

The sound of a helicopter came from the sky.

The Main Camp's reaction was still very fast.

There were even roaring armored vehicles charging behind the helicopter.

Soon.

The group was discovered.

Rescue operations quickly commenced.

"Ye Su, are you all okay?"

Zhang Hui was actually on the helicopter; he clearly looked relieved when he saw Ye Su.

Ye Su let go.

He set down Li Qing and Mo Xiaoyu.

Then he communicated with Zhang Hui through the headset;

"You take charge of the helicopter and have it follow me."

After saying that.

Facing the land where grass was like blades.

Ye Su turned around and charged back.

Everyone was stunned.

He'll die.

That was a mountain of blades, a literal mountain of blades.

The grass had become incredibly hard during the mutation, almost no different from real sharp knives.

Going back like this, he'll die!

Zhang Hui also froze.

The Main Camp had already reported the situation.

The rescue team had been wiped out.

Ye Su's behavior was truly unwise, but he didn't stop him.

A Liaison Officer cannot truly change a Professional's resolve.

He hurriedly directed the helicopter to follow.

The grass was like blades, incomparably sharp.

Ordinary flesh simply couldn't withstand it.

"Circulate for me!"

Ye Su was almost roaring in his heart.

The Tai Xuan Scripture operated at full capacity; his Qi and blood surged, all concentrated on his feet.

The grass shattered.

Everything before Ye Su's eyes turned blood-red.

Insights into Martial Arts gushed forth.

Coordinating with the circulation of Tai Xuan Scripture's Qi and blood, they gradually deepened.

"Too fast, too fast!"

The helicopter pilot was in shock.

This explosive speed was simply inhuman.

Like a roaring sports car charging down a highway.

Even the red of his Qi and blood trailed behind Ye Su like a flame.

This was a Qi and blood eruption.

It was the result of a Professional going all out in high-intensity combat.

The consumption was immense.

If not for the support of the previous Spirit Medicine, Ye Su probably wouldn't have been able to bear this consumption.

Returning the way he came.

This was the fastest way.

This suburban area wasn't a flat meadow; from a helicopter, they might not be able to find anyone at all.

"Zhang Hui, I'm sorry, I have to report this---"

The helicopter pilot said, turning his head slightly.

Zhang Hui nodded.

The other party also had orders to follow.

[Professional Ye Su is currently moving at high speed, exceeding 130 kilometers per hour.]

[Surrounded by a red aura, like a god or demon---]

A few seconds later.

The Main Camp contacted Zhang Hui.

"Zhang Hui, what are you doing? Call Ye Su back." A stern voice spoke immediately.

"My comrades are up ahead---"

Zhang Hui's voice was almost a sob.

"Face reality!"

"Zhang Hui, this is a cruel era!"

"I, you, and our millions of comrades are all prepared to face sacrifice!"

"Do you know? Those high-and-mighty nukes only have a few dozen days of shelf life left. Professionals are the future."

"Ye Su is too outstanding. Director Li has already reported to the Imperial Capital. Ye Su's evaluation will reach SSS-level; he is already qualified to become a Fire Controller of civilization!"

"But---"

Zhang Hui desperately wanted to find a reason to convince himself.

But logic told him.

Ye Su was too important!

His potential was limitless!

"Listen, in this era, we must get used to saying goodbye to our brothers-in-arms---"

The voice from the Main Camp also gradually fell silent.

Life and death.

Major matters of humanity!

The next second.

Zhang Hui's expression became firm.

"Ye Su, come back! The helicopter will lower a rope. At this point in time, preserving yourself is more important than anything else!"

Then, the voice came through Ye Su's headset.

However, at this moment.

A fire seemed to be burning in Ye Su's heart.

As he stepped forward.

In the Martial Arts Slot in his mind, a giant ape seemed to be galloping.

"You can't persuade me! If I don't go back, my mind won't be at peace!"

Ye Su's voice was low.

Zhang Hui was silent.

The helicopter pilot was silent.

The commander in the Main Camp also fell silent upon hearing this.

Rip--- His trouser legs tore.

The further back he went.

The more hardened the grass became.

Even his Qi and blood power was starting to fail in protecting him.

But Ye Su had no intention of stopping.

Thoughts cleared.

The heart ape leaped.

Ye Su had no idea that only now had he truly stepped onto the Professional's path of Martial Arts.

"Almost there!"

Ching--- He drew his saber.

This patch of grass was already over 30 centimeters high.

Once it broke through the Qi and blood protection, Ye Su might very well be submerged.

"Overlapping Wave Slash!"

He activated a skill.

Ye Su was reckless, but he was never stubborn.

The long saber whistled.

Carrying his stamina, Qi, and blood.

It was like a surging wave.

The great tide roared, its momentum pushing everything aside; Ye Su seemed to stand atop the wave, sweeping across a thousand-blade lotus pedestal!

The grass shattered.

Ye Su actually intended to tread the waves alone.

"Supernatural skill---"

The helicopter pilot was already dumbfounded.

The impression of Professionals having high Physique from the rumors was smashed to pieces by Ye Su.

This is fucking cultivation.

The waves rolled, pushing through all the way.

Soon, Ye Su struck with a second blow.

Because.

He had already spotted the people.

Ten rescue team members were currently pinned firmly in place.

Grass nearly 40 centimeters high had pierced through their legs.

As blood gushed out.

Every one of them was deathly pale.

"I think... I'm seeing hallucinations..."

Hu Hai murmured, his body swaying.
