56: Chapter 56 Hold on tight! I'll lead you out of here!

At this moment, the Abyssal Armored Dragon was also stunned.

Its tiny brain couldn't comprehend why the trembling human before it was able to block one of its claws.

Xueni's body was trembling, but her eyes were incredibly determined.

"No, you can't..."

The Abyssal Armored Dragon didn't care about how determined one was or how strong their will was; it only knew that killing the human race before it would make it feel good.

Its tumor-like tail and sharp claws continuously slammed into Director Gu Sanding, causing cracks to appear on the surrounding ground.

After just a few hits, the white light radiating from Xueni began to flicker, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

Xueni was, after all, just a child; even though she had awakened her talent, she couldn't maintain it for long.

She fell into complete despair, and now only one thought remained in her mind.

She prayed for that strong figure who had always stood before them, shielding them from the storm.

"Brother Mo! Save me!"

Though the desperate Xueni knew it was impossible for Chen Mo to come and save them, she still cried out.

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Successive loud bangs erupted in the distance. Countless Abyss Beasts were sent flying high into the air, but even more were instantly blasted into mists of blood.

"Fuck your grandmother!"

At this moment, Chen Mo was covered in blood, his body temperature so high that rainwater evaporated the instant it touched his skin.

Many Abyss Beasts changed their targets the moment they sensed Chen Mo's presence, roaring as they charged toward him.

But these Grade 1 and Grade 2 Abyss Beasts were completely unable to stop Chen Mo's advance.

Chen Mo was like a hundred-ton truck with the accelerator floored, crushing every Abyss Beast that tried to block his path!

Compress, super compress!

Limit Burst!

Chen Mo threw a punch, and the head of the Abyssal Armored Dragon—which had raised its claws to crush Director Gu Sanding and Xueni—was instantly blown apart!

"Die!"

Grabbing the Abyssal Armored Dragon by its tail, Chen Mo swung the dozens-of-tons heavy carcass of the giant beast as his weapon, crushing everything around him!

A few seconds later, a ten-meter radius vacuum zone appeared with Chen Mo at the center.

Fear appeared in the eyes of those Abyss Beasts, and many even showed signs of retreating.

The human before them was simply too terrifying; in just those few seconds, at least a hundred Abyss Beasts had died!

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Throwing the tumor-like tail onto the ground, Chen Mo wanted to pick up the sobbing Xueni, but he remembered that his body temperature was currently too high and would burn her tender skin.

"It's okay, I'm here."

"Alright, alright, with Brother Mo here, no one can hurt you."

A sharp pain, as if pierced by a blade, shot through Chen Mo's heart. While coaxing Xueni, who was slumped in Director Gu Sanding's arms, he crouched down to check on Director Gu Sanding's condition.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..."

If Director Gu Sanding and Xueni had truly died here today, he would never have been able to get over this hurdle in his life.

"I'm taking you away, don't be afraid."

Chen Mo kicked an Abyss Beast that tried to sneak attack him to death, then walked into the ruins and pulled out a quilt that had been soaked by the rain.

"Chen Mo, there's also Officer Li and Officer Zhao."

For some reason, even though countless Abyss Beasts were still eyeing them covetously outside, Director Gu Sanding felt extremely at ease just because Chen Mo was standing there.

Chen Mo wrapped Director Gu Sanding and Xueni in the quilt and hoisted them onto his shoulders.

He walked over to Officer Li and Officer Zhao, his heart sinking.

The one with the pierced chest was still alive, but the other one, who only had one arm left...

Chen Mo didn't speak, simply wrapping both of them in the quilt.

"Hold on tight."

"I'm taking you out of here!"

After rushing over a hundred kilometers, Chen Mo's stamina should have been bottomed out, but now there was no sign of fatigue at all.

With one punch, the Abyss Beasts ten meters ahead were blasted into smithereens.

Chen Mo moved like this, one step and one punch, and he actually managed to charge out from the siege of countless Abyss Beasts!

It wasn't until he walked into the cordoned-off New District that the blood-covered Chen Mo finally sat down as if he had run out of strength.

His body temperature dropped rapidly, and a trickle of blood flowed out from his nostril.

Everything before his eyes began to blur, and the faint sounds grew more and more distant.

"Medical squad! Medical squad, come quickly!"

"Wen Wan! Miss Wen Wan, hurry! Someone here is not going to make it!"

Before losing consciousness, the system's cold, mechanical voice sounded in Chen Mo's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for completing Mission Two!]

[Rewards are being distributed...]

But before he could hear the details of the rewards, Chen Mo's vision went black and he passed out.

...I don't know how much time had passed, but a pungent smell of disinfectant drifted into Chen Mo's nose.

Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

"Director! Xueni!"

His first reaction was not to check the system rewards or care about his own injuries, but to look for the people he had rushed back a hundred kilometers to save.

"We're here! Chen Mo, lie back down!"

Seeing that Chen Mo had woken up, Director Gu Sanding quickly stepped forward, trying to press Chen Mo back onto the bed.

But there was no way Director Gu Sanding could move Chen Mo's large frame. The little old man's face turned red from the effort, feeling as if he were pushing against a wall.

A breathing wall.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Mo looked Director Gu Sanding up and down and asked with some concern.

"Mm... We're fine."

Seeing that Chen Mo was unwilling to lie down, Director Gu Sanding sighed and said.

"Where's Xueni? Where did that little girl go?"

Chen Mo looked around but did not find any sign of Xueni.

"Xueni awakened her talent in the desperate situation. Her physical strength was overdrawn, so she is still unconscious."

"Officer Li... died in the line of duty."

"Officer Zhao, high paraplegia."

With every sentence Director Gu Sanding spoke, the expression on his face became grimmer.

Chen Mo was silent too; he didn't know what to say.

He was very grateful to Officer Li and Officer Zhao, but to him, Director Gu Sanding and Xueni were more important.

"Right, how is the situation outside now?"

Chen Mo changed the subject and began to ask about the situation in the Old District.

"The situation has been controlled. I heard that the military sent out three Scout Squads, which wiped out all the Abyss Beasts in the entire Old District."

"Those random rifts closed half an hour after opening, but over three hundred thousand Abyss Beasts still poured out."

Just as Director Gu Sanding finished speaking, the door to the hospital room was pushed open.

"Chen Mo!"

The five of them, led by Wang Jun, rushed in all at once, surrounding the hospital bed and feeling him up.

"Are you okay?"

"We heard about the beast disaster in Luo City and rushed over immediately. We heard that even Director Zhou was seriously injured this time and is still unconscious."

Lin Ye's mouth was like a loudspeaker; the moment he opened it, his voice echoed throughout the entire floor's corridor.
