Chapter 573 Back To Base

Wang Meng, who had been rescued, cleaned up the dirt on his body, changed into a clean set of clothes, and prepared to leave with Lu Yu.

The aftershock of the explosion hadn't disappeared. In the huge pit, flames were still soaring into the sky, as was the billowing black smoke.

The black smoke fell, and the residual ashes fell on the surroundings, covering the ground with a black layer.

The surrounding bamboo forest had been burned to ashes, and the fire was still spreading out quickly.

Wang Meng looked around and jerked his neck.

"What the hell happened here? Did this guy hide explosives in his base?"

Xu Yuan looked at Wang Meng and explained, "This was caused by Lu Yu's battle with Qin Yang. Qin Yang's arm self-destructed, and this was the result of the explosion."

Wang Meng looked at Qin Yang in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Your arm can explode? What's going on? If your arm explodes again, won't we all die here?"

Qin Yang had just risen from the ground. Wang Meng's two kicks had caused him quite a bit of damage, causing him to sway as if he would fall at any moment.

"His previous arm is a mechanical arm," Xu Yuan continued. "The technology inside is advanced. I mean, don't you know that?"

Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "After these guys caught me, I didn't have the chance to see his arm."

Then, Wang Meng looked at Lu Yu in surprise and exclaimed, "Bro, he created such a terrifying explosion, but you're still unscathed. You're just too strong!"

"I'm not completely unscathed. The high temperature burned my skin, and I almost died."

"As for the explosion's impact, I used my Dragon Fist to counter it, so I'm fine."

Hearing this, Wang Meng nodded slightly. "Your physique is very sturdy, after all." If Wang Meng and the others were within the range of the explosion, they would have been turned into ashes long ago.

"Anyway, we're going to bring this guy back and continue to guard the mines."

Lu Yu stated as he took out a scroll.

"Let's teleport to the stronghold first. It's time to rest."

Lu Yu was already feeling tired. It seemed that the previous battle had consumed most of his physical stamina.

After that, Xu Yuan and the others also took out their teleportation scrolls and prepared to open them.

"Give him one and let him teleport over first."

After saying that, Lu Yu took a scroll and stuffed it into Qin Yang's hand.

"We'll teleport together. Don't even think about using this opportunity to escape!"

Qin Yang kept groaning in a low voice as the pain in his body was killing him.

He nodded helplessly. "Even if I run, there's nowhere to run. Where else can I go?"

Without an arm, his combat power had dropped drastically. There was no way he could survive alone in these ancient ruins.

"Alright, then open the scroll."

After hearing that, Qin Yang helplessly nodded his head. Thus, he used his left hand to pull the scroll and bit the other end of the scroll with his mouth. He then yanked on the scroll with great force.

The scroll unfurled, and a light flickered, swallowing Qin Yang whole.

Qin Yang's figure disappeared from the spot, while Xu Yuan and the others quickly opened their teleportation scrolls. As the light flickered, they all left the place.

Whoosh!

A burst of light flickered in a part of the quiet forest, and Lu Yu and the others appeared.

Qin Yang was one step ahead, but he just sat on the ground and started to rest.

Wang Meng stepped forward and grabbed his arm, scaring him so much that he screamed, "Let me go! I know my mistake, so stop hitting me!"

He shouted in fear, but Wang Meng said in disdain, "I'm too lazy to continue beating you up. Are you looking for death by not entering the stronghold and resting here?"

Qin Yang helplessly nodded his head and stood on the spot, swaying.

"Go back and have a good rest. We'll talk about other things later."

Lu Yu looked at Wang Meng and patted his shoulder. "I'll leave the task of looking after Qin Yang to you."

"Don't worry; leave it to me. I guarantee that this guy won't have any chance of escaping!" Wang Meng patted his chest quickly and said.

Lu Yu and the others walked toward the stronghold. When they arrived at the gates, it opened, and they walked in.

It was already past midnight, about three or four in the morning. The stronghold was quiet, and almost no one was in sight.

When they arrived at the dormitory, Lu Yu and the others bid each other farewell and returned to their respective rooms.

Wang Meng, on the other hand, grabbed Qin Yang's wrist and pulled him into a room, locking him in.

The others didn't communicate much with each other. After a night of torment, they were already tired. When they returned to their rooms, they just fell asleep.

In the dark room, Lu Yu fell asleep on the bed. After a long time, he finally woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he could already see the yellow glow of the setting sun in the room. He picked up his phone and looked at it. He had actually slept until four in the afternoon.

He stood up, went to the bathroom, and took a hot shower. Once that was done, his whole body felt much more comfortable. He had just woken up, and his mind was still unclear, but he felt much more comfortable after this hot shower.

After walking out of the bathroom, Lu Yu put on a set of casual black clothes and walked out.

After the explosion, all of Lu Yu's new equipment was destroyed, and he was back to having no equipment.

However, after some thought, he felt he no longer needed any equipment. His own physique and defense were already strong enough.

If it wasn't a piece of equipment that could give him a huge boost, there was really no need to wear it.

Lu Yu walked out of the room and went downstairs. It was rare that Wang Meng and the rest weren't training here, nor were they gathering and chatting.

Lu Yu took out his phone and called Xu Yuan.

"Hey, are you all awake?"

"They're all awake. They're in the battle command room now."

"What are you guys doing there?"

Lu Yu asked as he walked toward the place.

"We are discussing how to contact the army team. If we work together, we'll have a better chance of survival in the ancient ruins."

"How's that going?"

Xu Yuan helplessly chuckled, "Almost, but not quite. Although we can open a crack and contact the military headquarters, they can't contact the team in these ancient ruins."

"So, it's not enough to rely on this alone..."

Lu Yu hung up the phone and quickly went to the command room.

The battle command room had a conference room, an office, and a command room.

With such strong signal coverage, the command room could be connected to any wireless walkie-talkies in their surroundings.

In the conference room, Xu Yuan and the others were sitting there with a long faces. Jiang Ning was also rubbing her forehead, deep in thought.
