74: Section 74

Seeing Donnie kill a Dust Citizen, Penny shouted loudly beside him.

But Donnie ignored her completely.

A Spinal Gu crawled onto 4068's head. Startled, 4068 yanked the Spinal Gu off and quickly threw it away.

As luck would have it, the Spinal Gu landed right on Donnie.

With the Spinal Gu on him, Donnie grew even more panicked. He couldn't shoot himself, leaving him in a temporary dilemma.

At that moment, another Spinal Gu seized the chance to crawl onto Donnie's body.

Seeing this, Penny couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

She fired two shots at Donnie, killing the two Spinal Gu.

Unfortunately, the Spinal Gu had already released crimson toxin before they were killed.

Donnie inhaled the crimson toxin.

Jing Yuan, flying in from a distance in his gravity body, witnessed this scene.

He immediately increased the propulsion power, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, they aren't even inside the spaceship, yet the plot is still following the original storyline outside?"

"Donnie!" Penny noticed that Donnie's expression was extremely strange. He had clearly been infected by the crimson toxin and had entered a hallucination.

"Penny, get out of the way!"

Jing Yuan was flying in rapidly, his shout carrying Mental Power as it rushed toward Penny.

Even from a distance, Penny still heard Jing Yuan's voice.

When she saw Donnie raise his muzzle towards her, she suddenly understood why Jing Yuan had warned her to stay away from Donnie earlier!

"Penny!"

Jing Yuan shouted. Was Penny destined to die after all?

Chapter 75: Rescuing Penny, Meeting Bai Yuekui

Jing Yuan threw his shield, using Telekinesis to control it as it flew rapidly toward Penny.

Controlling objects with Telekinesis was faster, but against Donnie's already raised muzzle, it seemed too late.

"Jing Yuan!"

Penny didn't have such fast reflexes; she felt she couldn't dodge the shot and could only look back at Jing Yuan in the end.

She knew Jing Yuan was rushing over to save her, but it might be too late!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three consecutive bullets burst from Donnie's muzzle, flying straight toward Penny.

The power of fate erupted at this moment, seemingly trying to force the deviated events back on track!

"Penny!"

Jing Yuan watched helplessly as Penny fell to the ground!

He activated the gravity body's ejection device, using the force of the ejection to accelerate toward Penny.

Thud!

Jing Yuan's physical body slammed onto the ground, and he hurriedly picked up Penny.

Penny's eyes were wide open, her face filled with terror!

Jing Yuan looked at Penny again; there were two grazes on her right shoulder.

The bullets hadn't hit Penny!

They were just grazes!

Jing Yuan's attention had been entirely on Penny; only now did he look back and see 4068 lunging at Donnie.

It turned out that 4068 had tackled Donnie at the critical moment, causing Donnie's shots to miss and saving Penny!

But at this moment, 4068 was also in danger.

Donnie's muzzle was already aimed at him!

Jing Yuan used Telekinesis to control the shield lying nearby, positioning it in front of 4068.

Donnie fired only one shot, which was blocked by the shield.

By the time he wanted to fire another shot, the gun in his hand had already flown into Jing Yuan's grasp.

Jing Yuan had directly snatched the gun away using Telekinesis!

Hearing the gunshot, 4068 was already terrified by the scene.

He scrambled up from Donnie and retreated in a panic.

Meanwhile, Donnie was affected by the crimson toxin and could no longer distinguish friend from foe.

Jing Yuan rushed up and punched him, but he didn't control his strength well, sending him flying five or six meters away.

Jing Yuan handed the rifle to 4068 and asked, "Do you know how to use this?"

4068 shook his head. "No!"

Jing Yuan took back the gun and said, "Then run, quickly!"

4079 pulled 4068 up, and they hurriedly ran toward the Transport Vehicle.

Jing Yuan quickly went back to find Penny.

"Let's go, quickly!"

"Okay!" Penny grabbed her gun and ran toward the main group with Jing Yuan.

"Where is your gravity body?" Penny noticed that Jing Yuan wasn't wearing his gravity body now.

"I ejected from it just now!"

"The gravity body must be brought back!" Penny said hurriedly.

The Wasteland Hunters had a rule that even if a gravity body was damaged in battle, it had to be recovered.

And Jing Yuan's gravity body wasn't even damaged; there was no reason to abandon it.

Jing Yuan hesitated; he needed the gravity body to fight the Phage Beasts, but right now he also had to ensure Penny's safety.

Just as Jing Yuan was hesitating, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. He had just expanded his Mental Power scan when he discovered several bullets flying toward them.

Jing Yuan looked and saw that it was actually another Wasteland Hunter Team Member infected by the crimson toxin shooting at them.

And these bullets were actually all flying toward Penny.

"Damn it!"

Jing Yuan tried to control the bullets with Telekinesis, but he hadn't trained in this area and couldn't catch them at all.

In his desperation, he could only use his own body to shield Penny.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Four consecutive bullets hit Jing Yuan's back. He felt as if he had been punched four times, and blood immediately began to flow.

"Jing Yuan!"

Only then did Penny react. Seeing that the infected teammate was about to shoot again, she had no choice but to raise her gun and headshot him!

"Jing Yuan! Jing Yuan!" Penny cried out repeatedly, at a loss for what to do.

"I'm fine!" Jing Yuan replied with a smile.

Penny couldn't believe it. Shot four times and he was fine?

Jing Yuan felt his back; the bullets had penetrated the armor and grazed the skin, causing some bleeding, but they hadn't pierced the muscle.

He couldn't believe it himself. Could a Rank 2 physical constitution already withstand bullets?

Jing Yuan simply moved his back, and the bullets embedded in the armor fell out.

Seeing this, Penny was shocked, but she also realized that Jing Yuan really was okay.

Jing Yuan hadn't expected that after Penny dodged Donnie's bullets, there would be more. Was today destined to be the day Penny died?

Jing Yuan didn't believe it! He would never accept such a fate!

"Penny! Stay by my side!"

"Okay!"

Penny didn't hesitate and followed Jing Yuan toward the gravity body.

The gravity body had only activated its ejection device; while it couldn't eject again, it was still functional.

Jing Yuan entered the gravity body again, using Telekinesis to keep the Flying Cones hovering in the air while holding the Greatsword in his hand.

Penny climbed onto the back of the gravity body and moved together with Jing Yuan.

"Jing Yuan, save Donnie!"

Although Donnie was infected with the crimson toxin, he could still be brought back to the Lighthouse.
