Chapter 573 Moving reinforcements
The army of cockroaches has poured into the stronghold from all directions like a flood.
Wherever they go, they eat people and objects.
Even the metal house that Li Luo had built using his gold-related abilities would be taken a bite by them when they passed by.
The main point is: don't let go of anything.
But, is Li Luo's gold-based ability a joke to them?
Even missiles and atomic bombs can hardly destroy it. How can a mere group of cockroaches destroy it?
What kind of daydreaming are you having?
Look, those cockroaches that were greedy and gnawed at the metal house, without exception, all had their mouthparts broken by the hard and solid metal house.
Eating became a problem afterwards.
This is called "stealing a chicken but losing the rice".
Live it!
.........
the other side.
Although Tang Mingcheng and his companions were moving very fast, there were still many lone members on the edge who were successfully ambushed by the cockroach army that sneaked in silently.
These people have suffered varying degrees of physical injuries.
Among them, most of the injuries were more serious in the feet.
Fortunately, Tang Mingcheng and his team arrived in time and rescued everyone.
Liu Mengyun saved the most people.
She has the ability of teleportation, which allows her to travel back and forth throughout the base in a very short time.
So, she could basically rescue a person and send him to the gate of the base in just a few seconds.
The next person who was saved the most was Tang Mingcheng, who possessed the speed-related ability.
Although his speed ability is not as amazing as his teleportation ability, fortunately the reservoir where this stronghold is located is not large, so it is not much slower.
As long as the rescued people are within the range of Li Luo's protective cover, they will be safe.
Unfortunately, two of the people who were rescued were seriously injured.
The two people are Zhou Mei and Li Jian.
The two were found in the same place by Tang Mingcheng.
When they were discovered, they were almost overwhelmed by a black army of cockroaches.
Tang Mingcheng used his lightning ability and took great effort to drive away the cockroaches that were crawling on them without hurting them.
At that time, the two of them were in a position where Zhou Mei was held under Li Jian.
Both of Zhou Mei's feet were severely injured, and only white bones were left of her left foot.
Li Jian, who was protecting her, was even more seriously injured.
Both of his legs, from the thighs to the soles of the feet, were almost completely eaten away, and even the bones were turned into incomplete fragments.
To put it bluntly, both legs are useless!
His arms and back looked a little better, but they were still a bloody mess.
Especially the back!
The flesh on the surface has long disappeared.
All that could be seen was bloody muscle tissue.
At that time, Li Jian was already in a dying state.
But his arms still instinctively held Zhou Mei tightly, protecting her in his arms.
Zhou Mei in his arms had already cried until her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice had become hoarse from all the crying.
She seemed to have been stimulated by something and was in a very bad mental state. She just kept shouting Li Jian's name.
I didn’t even know I was saved.
And of her hands that were wrapped around Li Jian's back, only a small bloody half was left.
All in all, the situation on both sides is extremely urgent.
The two of them were hugging each other tightly.
Tang Mingcheng didn't dare to separate them at will, for fear of causing them secondary harm.
In this situation, he couldn't take the two of them back.
There was no other choice but to call for help.
He used his lightning ability to draw a circle of lightning on the ground where the two were, protecting them.
He himself activated his speed-related ability and returned as quickly as possible to get help.
The rescuer Tang Mingcheng sought was Liu Mengyun.
The two of them used the stretcher they got from Li Luo to carry Zhou Mei and Li Jian, who had only half of his body left, back into the protective cover.
Li Jian's injuries are too serious and there is no time to delay.
Therefore, Tang Mingcheng and his men did not take them to the gate of the stronghold where the main force was gathering.
Instead, they placed the two of them in a dormitory along with other wounded people.
This dormitory is very close to the entrance of the base and is also within the range of Li Luo's protective shield, so there is no risk of being attacked by a swarm of cockroaches.
Tang Mingcheng and Liu Mengyun worked together and took great effort to separate Zhou Mei and Li Jian who were hugging each other tightly.
They were placed in different beds.
At this time, Li Jian was already in a state where he was exhaling more than inhaling.
Judging from the situation, it might fall over at any time.
Zhou Mei was not much better than before, still unconscious, with her eyes closed tightly, she was still mumbling something.
If you listen carefully, you can hear that she keeps repeating these five words: "Li Jian, don't die."
The look was even miserable.
.........
Liu Mengyun is a healing psychic. She stayed in the dormitory and provided emergency rescue to Li Jian, who was the most seriously injured.
Tang Mingcheng left the dormitory and took over Li Luo's position of being in charge of the overall situation outside, and she came to the dormitory to treat the wounded in her turn.
When Li Luo entered the dormitory and saw a room full of wounded people, her whole mentality became bad.
There are totally 8!
8 disabled persons!
Fortunately, except for two people whose injuries looked serious, the rest of the people only had minor skin injuries.
Seeing Li Luo coming over, Liu Mengyun, who was treating Li Jian, immediately took the time to say:
"Lolo, come and take a look! The wounds on this child's body have been rotting, and my treatment can't keep up with the speed of its decay."
The situation was too urgent just now, and Li Luo had no time to communicate with Liu Mengyun about the treatment plan for the injured.
Only when Liu Mengyun asked her did she remember this matter.
She quickly turned her gaze towards the person lying on the bed.
When he saw clearly that it was Li Jian, and that it was Li Jian with only half of his body left, Li Luo felt a buzzing in his head.
For a moment, emotions such as surprise, heartache, and anger invaded Li Luo's heart.
Li Jian is a member of her pocket-stealing group.
Who can remain indifferent when someone who has been with you for so long and has been with you day and night becomes like this?
However, Li Jian's condition was getting worse and worse, and Li Luo had no time to feel sad.
She directly used her gold-based abilities to condense a long sword.
Then, he held the sword in one hand and turned half of Li Jian's body with the other hand.
His completely rotten thigh was left hanging in the air.
"Auntie Yun, help me hold him down!" Li Luo said to Liu Mengyun.
Liu Mengyun saw what Li Luo wanted to do. She was confused but did not ask anything. Instead, she cooperated with Li Luo to hold Li Jian down.
She knew that Li Luo must have her reasons for doing this.
What she has to do is trust and cooperate!
