Chapter 335 Rescuing 1

Chapter 335 Rescuing One

"It's confirmed to be the captain, you can open the door now."

Lingjiu carefully compared the information on the screen with the data she had already memorized. After confirming that every detail was correct, she nodded solemnly to Lingji and Lingyan and said, word by word.

Although his voice wasn't loud, it sounded exceptionally clear in the somewhat quiet environment.

During this time, Lingji kept a close eye on the instrument in Lingjiu's hand, his eyes revealing a hint of tension and vigilance.

Upon hearing Ling Jiu's confirmation, his previously tense body relaxed slightly, and he slowly released his hand that had been blocking Ling Yan.

Lingyan's body also moved, and the awkward expression she had initially felt from being stopped dissipated considerably.

"Okay!"

Lingyan cheered excitedly, her joyful voice ringing out loudly in the somewhat oppressive environment.

Then, his eyes shone brightly as he gripped tightly the key-like tool in his hand that was already activated and could open the protective shield.

The tool emitted a faint yet mysterious light, and its surface had some irregular patterns, as if it were hiding some kind of ancient code.

Lingyan carefully aimed her tool at the part of the protective shield that had turned green, her expression serious and focused.

Right now, he's like you, trying your best to color without going outside the lines.

He was completely focused, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and concentration, as he slowly slid the tool along the green edge. With each slide, the tool emitted a slight hum, as if it were making a strange connection with the protective shield.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and Lingyan's movements were slow and steady.

Finally, he finished drawing a complete circle. In an instant, the green protective shield burst with a "pop," like a dreamlike bubble.

Countless tiny rays of light drifted through the air like shimmering stardust, beautiful yet fleeting.

However, this seemingly drastic change did not affect the protective shield outside the circle at all. It still stood firmly, emitting a faint light, safe and stable.

"Alright, Captain, come out quickly."

After completing all this, Lingyan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Lingye.

Lingye didn't go out directly. Instead, he stood in the middle of the exit to prevent any jellyfish he hadn't cleaned from sneaking out.

"Wait a minute, I have one more person here."

He spoke to Lingji and gave him a wink, his eyes conveying a message that only they could understand.

Lingji nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"Heheluo, come here quickly, let me take you out first."

Then, Lingye turned around and shouted at the top of her lungs towards where He Hailuo was hiding.

As his deep, somewhat urgent voice slowly faded into the deathly silence of the ruins, movement began to stir in the corner where Hehelo was hiding.

All eyes were drawn to that spot, where a huge pile of discarded cardboard boxes was stacked haphazardly, layer upon layer, resembling a small, precarious mountain.

A closer look reveals that this used to be the back entrance of a small supermarket.

Perhaps it was due to the supermarket owner's desire for convenience, or a disregard for fire safety regulations, that such a large pile of non-compliant cardboard boxes was left here.

Heheluo, like a small beast hiding in its nest, quietly lurked inside this large pile of cardboard boxes.

Regardless of whether these thin cardboard boxes are useful to the monsters ravaging these ruins, for Hero, hiding in this small space at least gives her a sense of security, as if she were in a safe fortress isolated from the world.

She doesn't have claustrophobia; on the contrary, the small space gives her an indescribable sense of security, allowing her heart, which is constantly trembling with fear, to calm down a little.

The moment He heard Ling Ye's familiar voice, He Hailuo's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Then, the top cardboard of that huge pile of boxes seemed to be gently touched by an invisible hand and moved slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the smallest cardboard box on top, as if pushed by the god of fate, wobbled down from the tall stack of boxes and fell to the ground with a muffled "thud".

Then, Herro's slender hand, which was slightly scratched, reached out from the top hole.

Her fingers, stiff from being curled up for so long, struggled to pry open the mountain of cardboard boxes around her. With each effort, the muscles in her arms bulged slightly.

Then, her head emerged, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. After some effort, she finally crawled out of the pile of cardboard boxes.

She landed lightly, each step carefully, as if the ground beneath her feet was a thin layer of ice that would shatter at the slightest misstep.

Her eyes scanned her surroundings warily, her body slightly bent, like a small animal ready to flee at any moment.

She stealthily ran towards Lingye, her steps hurried and flustered, glancing back every now and then, as if afraid that some monsters she hadn't seen were following behind her.

In that tense and special area, Lingye kept a close eye on Hehailuo's movements.

So, just as Heheluo ran up breathlessly, Lingye decisively and swiftly reached out and grabbed Heheluo's arm.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, instantly blocking out the danger like a solid barrier. Then, with a forceful push, he directly ejected He Hailuo from the faintly glowing barrier.

She was safely handed over to her own team members.

"Wow, miss, your name is He Hailuo, right? My name is Lingluo. You're safe now, don't worry."

Standing on the opposite side of the barrier, Lingluo radiated a bright and sweet smile, just like the warm sun in spring.

Her bright eyes sparkled with friendliness, her small nose twitched slightly, and her cherry-like lips opened and closed, making a clear and melodious sound.

She reached out warmly and grabbed Heheluo's hand. Her hands were warm and soft, as if they possessed an invisible power that calmed Heheluo's tense and flustered heart a little.

"Shall I take you to get a check-up first?"

Lingluo continued speaking sweetly, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's song.

"Huh?! Oh, then, what about him?"

He Hailuo was suddenly pushed out of the barrier by Ling Ye, and was still a little dizzy and disoriented, his mind blank and completely confused.

A hint of confusion and worry appeared in her eyes. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ling Ye, who was still standing inside the protective shield that emitted a faint light.

Ling Ye stood tall and straight, looking at him with a serious expression and gentle eyes, signaling with his eyes that he could follow Ling Luo without worry.

A sense of worry welled up in Heheluo's heart, his brows furrowed tightly, and his lips trembled slightly.

After all, it was Lingye who rescued her, so she was still very worried about him.

However, in the end, He Hailuo still followed Lingluo.
