Chapter 249 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (38)
Ying Chu pulled open the heavy door, which was as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and made a dull creaking sound as it was opened.
Ying Chu then understood why the paper figures looked exhausted when they came in. It turned out that this door was not only made of special material and had super strong defense, but it was also so difficult to open.
These tiny paper figures had to exert tremendous effort to squeeze through that narrow gap, so it's no wonder they were panting and clutching their backs after they got in; they looked really exhausted.
Ying Chu patted them gently, as if silently expressing his gratitude. The paper figures seemed to sense Ying Chu's feelings and bounced even more happily on his shoulders, as if to say, "You're welcome, I'm glad I could help."
With the help of the paper figures, Ying Chu opened all the doors for everyone, and they all emerged from their respective secret chambers.
"Nuan Nuan is missing!" Lin Haoran looked around anxiously.
Although Shen Chumo was not in the secret room, they all knew that these paper figures were sent by Shen Chumo to rescue them, proving that she was safe now.
But Bai Nuannuan is different. She had already been arrested once before, and this mastermind specifically took her away again. Bai Nuannuan is now in a very dangerous situation.
The paper figure patted Ying Chu on the shoulder, then slid down his arm to his palm. It bounced on his hand and then pointed to the passage ahead with its tiny paper finger.
"Do you know where Bai Nuannuan is?"
Lin Haoran stared intently at the paper figure, his eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.
The paper figure nodded, as if to reassure everyone.
"Let's go, let's follow the paper figure to find Bai Nuannuan first."
Ying Chu immediately guessed Shen Chumo's intention: the paper figure was meant to rescue them so that they could go and save Bai Nuannuan.
Lin Haoran looked at Ying Chu gratefully.
"Thank you. This is a favor that our Dawn Base owes you. Once we get out, please feel free to make any requests you may have, and we will definitely repay you."
As one of the three major bases, Dawn Base already possesses formidable strength and resources, occupying an important position in this post-apocalyptic world. Lin Haoran, as one of the base's representatives, made such a promise, which obviously carries immense weight.
Ying Chu didn't stand on ceremony. "Alright, we can talk about the rest after we get out. Saving people is the priority right now."
Following the direction pointed out by the paper figure, the group moved through the passage with quick yet light steps, trying to avoid making too much noise.
After turning one bend after another, the paper figure finally stopped in front of a huge metal door.
It excitedly hopped around on the door a few times, then turned back to look at the group, indicating that they had arrived at their destination.
Ying Chu cautiously approached the gate and found a complex electronic lock on it, with several red warning lights flashing next to it.
Just as he was pondering how to open the door, the paper figure suddenly jumped to the electronic lock and stretched out its tiny paper hand to quickly operate the lock.
A moment later, accompanied by the sound of machinery running, the door slowly opened.
Shen Chumo already knew the password to the entire underground space, so this door with the combination lock was like an empty place to her.
Inside the door was a bright but somewhat empty room.
In the center of the room, there was a huge glass container, and Bai Nuannuan was trapped inside.
Her eyes were closed, her face was slightly pale, and her body was connected to some wires and instruments that were flashing with a faint light.
Seeing this, Lin Haoran rushed in anxiously, wanting to rescue Bai Nuannuan immediately.
However, just as he approached the glass container, an ice shard shot directly from the sky at incredible speed, like a sharp dagger, aiming straight for Lin Haoran's back.
Lin Haoran was completely oblivious, his mind entirely focused on Bai Nuannuan. Just as the icicles were about to pierce him, Ying Chu, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and shouted, "Watch out!"
At the same time, he quickly unleashed his supernatural power, and a ball of blazing flame erupted from his palm, hurtling towards the ice shard.
The flames and icicles met in mid-air, instantly producing a crackling sound. The icicles began to melt under the scorching heat, turning into droplets of water that fell down. The flames also weakened under the impact of the icicles' coldness, eventually dissipating into the air.
Lin Haoran then came to his senses. He looked at Ying Chu with lingering fear and nodded gratefully.
Ying Chu stared intently at the direction from which the ice shards were being shot. The others also gathered around, consciously standing behind Ying Chu, equally wary, each activating their own supernatural abilities. The atmosphere in the entire space instantly became tense.
Clap clap clap, a clapping sound suddenly came from the shadows, and with the applause, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. That person was Lin Yu.
"Heh, I didn't expect you guys to be so capable, managing to escape the secret room and find your way here."
Lin Yu's voice was loud and carried a hint of mockery, echoing faintly in the empty space.
"Too bad, do you think you can take someone away from here with your meager skills? You're so naive."
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, dozens of ice shards gathered around him, like a group of silver venomous snakes ready to devour their prey. They shimmered with a cold light in the dim light, trembling slightly, as if waiting for their master's command to pounce swiftly.
Ying Chu's eyes sharpened, and he quickly formed hand seals while chanting incantations. In an instant, flames surged around him, coiling around his body like agile fire snakes, making him appear as if a fire god had descended.
"Go together!"
Ying Chu shouted and charged towards Lin Yu first, leaving a long trail of flames behind him. The intense heat distorted the surrounding air.
Upon hearing the call, everyone unleashed their special abilities and rushed towards Lin Yu.
With a wave of his hands, the bearded man, A Lei, instantly caused thick vines to grow from the ground. The vines, like green dragons, snaked and crawled along the ground, aiming directly at Lin Yu's feet, attempting to bind him.
Lin Haoran unleashed a powerful lightning blade, which whistled past, seemingly slicing through the space in its path, emitting a sharp whistling sound. It collided with the ice shards, and for a moment, the clanging and banging sounds of the impact were incessant.
Lin Yu remained calm and composed, a cold smile appearing on his face. With a flick of his sleeve, dozens of ice shards shot out like arrows from a bow towards the crowd.
Ying Chu dodged several ice shards aimed at him with a swift movement, then rushed to Lin Yu's side and swung his flaming fist at Lin Yu's face.
