The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

"We must organize a rescue team to go in and search. Chairman Wu and Vice Chairman Zhao must have encountered some trouble. Every second we delay will increase the danger."

A burly man in a camouflage vest slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the awakened individuals around him.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, gradually approaching 10℃, and this guy is only wearing a camouflage vest, which is enough to show that he is strong and healthy.

"Are you out of your mind?"

A thin man wearing glasses next to him immediately retorted.

"The president, vice president, and Chen Feng's elite team, a total of fourteen people, are trapped inside for a day and a night without any news. What are we going there for? We're not going to our deaths like this."

"What are we going to do? Just wait here? Wait for them to come back?" The man in the camouflage vest glared angrily.

"What else can we do? We can only wait," the bespectacled man sighed.

"To be honest... what if they found a boat, sailed away, and left us behind?" A weak female voice rang out from the corner.

After those words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The expressions on many people's faces became quite interesting.

“Impossible. Chairman Wu isn’t that kind of person. He promised to stand with us through thick and thin.” The man in the camouflage vest shook his head.

However, his expression was no longer as resolute as before.

"That's enough! Stop arguing!"

An elderly man with gray hair tried to maintain order.

"What's the point of arguing now? The most important thing is to figure out the situation..."

"Find out? How do you find out? Go in and take a look?" the bespectacled man sneered.

The hall was in complete chaos; no one could convince anyone else, and no one could come up with a feasible solution.

"A bunch of rabble," Han Ning thought to himself as he sat down next to Xu Ming.

Those who entrust their safety to others probably won't live long.

"Boss, this group of people has been arguing for over an hour. Could it be... that something really happened to Chairman Wu and his men?" Xu Ming whispered.

Before Han Ning could answer.

Yu Na suddenly grabbed his arm and pleaded in a very soft voice:

"Han Ning, I know you're very strong, even stronger than the vice president. Please, can you find a way to save Sister Qianqian? She... she's very important to me..."

Han Ning frowned and remained silent.

He acknowledged Lin Qianqian's strength; her unique energy recovery ability was invaluable to the team.

According to Lin Qianqian, although President Wu and the other vice presidents may be slightly weaker than she was at Lv4, they still have considerable combat power.

Including skilled fighters like Chen Feng and Lu Yunping, a total of fourteen people, none of them returned.

This made him wary.

The Egret Harbor berth area is only a little over one kilometer away from Biyun Resort as the crow flies.

Even if the foggy environment is complex and full of obstacles, ants should be able to crawl back within a day and a night.

Unless... they encounter a terrifying crisis far beyond what was anticipated, or are trapped in some desperate situation, unable even to break out and send a message.

It is unwise to rush into the face of unknown dangers.

Just as Han Ning was weighing the pros and cons, the argument in the hall was escalating.

"Bang! Crash!"

From the direction of the resort's main gate, a muffled thud came from the sound of a heavy object crashing into the water, followed by the splashing sound of something being dragged across the surface.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to the door.

"boom!"

The resort's heavy gate was smashed open.

Outside the door, Lu Yunping was covered in blood, his right arm desperately clinging to a floating door panel.

Chen Feng lay on the door panel with his eyes closed and his face pale. His left arm was severed at the shoulder, and dark red blood was constantly seeping from the wound, which was wrapped in gauze.

Behind them followed several other equally wounded Awakened Ones, each looking as if they had been pulled from a pool of blood.

There are 7 people in total.

"Old Lu?"

"It's Chen Feng, A Ming, and the others!"

"They're back! Quick, help!"

After a brief silence, the hall erupted in chaos.

The crowd gasped and rushed forward, hurriedly dragging the door panel into a dry area of ​​the hall, forming a circle around the group.

Some awakened individuals with healing abilities, carrying first-aid supplies, began to treat the group.

Han Ning stood behind the crowd, quietly watching the people lying on the ground.

The moment Lu Yunping stepped into the hall, the molten gold tiger head mark between his brows unexpectedly became slightly hot.

With a slight thought, a flowing golden halo appeared on the surface of his eyes.

In an instant, the world before my eyes changed.

In the murky air, various fine dust particles floated, and the crowd emitted varying degrees of vitality.

His gaze was fixed on Lu Yunping and the others.

"This is……"

A constantly writhing ball of light, shifting between eerie blue, purple, and red colors, hovered above Lu Yunping's brain, just like a living thing.

The same scene occurred to several other people.

Whether it was Chen Feng, who was seriously injured and unconscious, or the other awakened individuals who were conscious.

"Cough cough... water..." Lu Yunping lay flat on the ground, letting others treat him.

Someone immediately handed over a water bottle.

He greedily gulped down several mouthfuls, the water mixed with blood and foam dripping from the corners of his mouth, and gasped as he said:

"We...found the ship...in the berth area..."

"But...the monster guarding the ship...it's terrifying..."

Everyone instinctively stopped what they were doing and listened intently.

"President Wu... Vice President Lin... Vice President Zhao and the others... took the initiative to cover our retreat... and are still fighting fiercely against those monsters..."

He closed his eyes in pain, his body trembling slightly.

"We...we barely escaped by risking our lives..."

"The chairman and the others... are they still alive?" The burly man in the camouflage vest grabbed Lu Yunping's shoulder, his voice hoarse.

"I...I don't know..." Lu Yunping shook his head with difficulty, his voice broken and intermittent.

"I think... they should still be alive. They... are strong."

"Then what are we waiting for?!" The burly man stood up abruptly, his face a mixture of determination and resolve. "The chairman and the others might still be alive! We must go and save them!"

"Yes! Go save them!"

"Bring your weapons!"

"Can't wait any longer!"

Hearing that Chairman Wu and the other vice-chairmen were likely still alive was like a shot in the arm, instantly dispelling the panic at the scene.

At least Chairman Wu and his group didn't find a boat to leave or abandon them.

Those who were just arguing about whether to provide assistance now have no objections.

Soon, a rescue team of more than twenty awakened individuals quickly assembled, each with a solemn expression.

Han Ning watched all of this with a cold eye, like an outsider.

He squeezed through the crowd, walked to Lu Yunping's side, squatted down, and observed him up close.

Chapter 56 Face to Face

At almost face-to-face distance, the tri-colored halo extended countless fine, thread-like tendrils of light, deeply penetrating Lu Yunping's brain tissue and pulsating slightly with his breath.

Lu Yunping raised his pale face, and when he saw it was Han Ning, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

"Brother Han... Brother Han Ning..."

"Your strength... is no weaker than... the vice president... This time... this rescue... depends entirely on you... Please... you must... rescue the president and the others..."

The colored light pulsating inside the skull became more active.

Han Ning nodded expressionlessly and said calmly, "Don't worry."

Lin Qianqian and he had a decent relationship; he wouldn't be so indifferent as to refuse to help her.

Of course, the most important thing is that with so many people going in, if there is any danger, he just needs to run faster than most of the people.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

……

With the help of several awakened individuals with healing abilities, Lu Yunping and the others' external injuries were treated simply, the bleeding was stopped, and they were given some high-calorie food to replenish their strength.

Even Chen Feng woke up from his coma.

Their condition has improved considerably; at least they can move around now.

"Let's go! We can't delay any longer!" Lu Yunping struggled to his feet, looking extremely anxious.

"go!"

A rescue team of more than 20 awakened individuals, led by a few who had returned, plunged into the endless rain outside the door.
