The crimes committed by X are too numerous to describe, and he must die. But he knew too many secrets, and he needed to be tortured before he died to force out all the secrets in his belly.

Therefore, X cannot die yet.

"Tie him up and take him out." Xi Jiu held Bai Yuchen Teng in check, then turned around and ordered Bo Ye to tie up X.

X's arms and legs have been removed by Xi Jiu, so there is no danger at all at this time. Bo Ye took out a bundle of hemp rope from his backpack, walked over and was about to tie him up, when something unexpected happened——

X, who was paralyzed on the ground, got the strength from nowhere, used his waist strength to jump up suddenly, and hit his head hard against Bo Ye's chest.

Bo was unprepared and was knocked back two steps. As his body swayed, a black object fell out of the sleeve of X's coat.

The thing fell from X's sleeve to the ground and slid half a meter away on the smooth marble floor.

Before anyone could see what it was, X's body had already pounced on it, and he opened his mouth to bite the thing in one bite.

Only then did everyone see that what he was biting was actually a——

remote control!

The remote control is half the size of a palm, completely black, with only one red button on it.

Ruan Qi looked at the red button, and suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in her heart.

"Hurry up and grab that remote control!" She shouted subconsciously, "Hurry! Brother Bo Ye, hurry up and grab the remote control!"

Bo Ye also sensed something was wrong and rushed over to grab it.

But X's movements were faster than Bo's. He bit the red button on the remote control and exerted force.

drop--!

A shrill alarm sounded from the remote control.

Immediately afterwards.

Rumble——

Deafening roars came from all directions.

The ground on the seventh floor underground began to tremble.

boom--! ! !

A huge explosion burst out from the ground, and the walls around the laboratory exploded in an instant.

Rocks flew, dust flew, and the strong smell of gunpowder spread wantonly.

"What happened? Why did it explode?"

Everyone panicked.

X spit out the remote control in his mouth, lay on the ground and let out a crazy and twisted laugh.

"Hahahaha! Didn't you expect that? I have installed detonating devices on every floor of the underground headquarters! Now that the device is activated, it won't be long before this place will be in ruins! You guys will not be able to escape, you will all die! Everyone is going to die! Hahahahaha!!!”

X knew that he would die sooner or later even if he went out. In this case, he might as well drag Ruan Qi and the others into the water together.

If we die together, no one can escape or hide.

The already insane X was like a puddle of mud, lying on the ground with a twisted, ferocious and proud smile on his face.

Ruan Qi's heart sank, she didn't bother scolding him, she quickly rushed to Xu Qingya and lifted her up.

"Is there any way to stop the explosion?"

Xu Qingya was frightened by the deafening explosion.

She had followed

Xu Qingya's face turned pale with fright at the thought of bombs being buried in the place where she slept every day.

Her eyes were straight and she was trembling, unable to recover.

Ruan Qi was anxious and lost her patience. She raised her hand and slapped Xu Qingya on the face.

Xu Qingya suddenly screamed in pain.

"Is there a way to stop the explosion? Say it quickly! Otherwise everyone will die here!" Ruan Qi's voice was harsh.

Xu Qingya finally recovered from the pain.

She shook her head tremblingly, with a look of despair on her face: "No... I didn't even know he had planted a bomb in the headquarters!"

Unknown to Xu Qingya, her only hope of stopping the explosion was shattered.

Ruan Qi's face became extremely ugly.

The roar of explosions continued all around, the ground was shaking, and dust kept falling from the ceiling. I believe it won’t be long before this underground building begins to collapse.

They must escape before this collapses.

Ruan Qi ignored X who was still laughing maniacally. He bent down and reached out to lift an already semi-conscious action team member onto his back and put him on his back.

"Everyone, help a bunch of injured companions, let's escape together!"

After Ruan Qi finished speaking, she fixed the person on her back, helped up a seriously injured female team member, and rushed to the safe passage with her feet up.

Seeing this, the others also picked up their injured companions on their backs and followed Ruan Qi out of the seventh floor underground.

Seeing this, Xu Qingya, who was paralyzed on the ground, thought that Ruan Qi was going to abandon her, and immediately screamed loudly.

"Ruan Qi! You promised to take me out! You can't break your promise! I am Cheng Jinyan's grandmother, you have to save me! You have to save me!"

The surrounding explosions roared incessantly, drowning most of Xu Qingya's feeble screams.

Ruan Qi, who was preoccupied with leading her companions to escape, didn't hear her scream at all, but Xi Jiu, who was walking at the back, heard Xu Qingya's words clearly.

His cold eyes flashed, he stopped, turned around and walked over.

Xu Qingya thought Xi Jiu was here to save her, so she quickly crawled and stretched out her hand to him: "Master Xi! Help me! Ruan Qi promised to take me out, I can't die!"

Xu Qingya screamed and reached out to grab Xi Jiu's boots.

However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the combat boots, Xi Jiu took a step back.

The smile on Xu Qingya's face froze.

"Xi, Xi Jiu... Head of the Xi family, Ruan Qi promised to take me out! You can't go back on your word!"

The fear of death surpassed everything else. At the critical moment of life and death, Xu Qingya forgot about her fear of Xi Jiu and crawled towards him screaming.

Xi Jiu didn't want to take Xu Qingya out.

She caused Ruan Fengmian Yangliu so much harm that she almost made it impossible for Ruan Qi to be born. Such a vicious person would really dirty his hands by saving her.

Xi Jiu looked at Xu Qingya who was crawling towards her in embarrassment, murderous intent gradually rising in her eyes.

He slowly raised his hand, and the murderous inner aura surged out of his palm.

"Jiujiu!"

Ruan Qi's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Xi Jiu made a move, immediately collected his breath, and turned to look at the little girl running towards this side.

"Why are you back?"

As the explosion intensified, the ceiling of the laboratory on the seventh floor underground could no longer support it. Dust and fragments of the ceiling fell. Xi Jiu was worried that Ruan Qi would be injured and rushed over to protect her in his arms.

Ruan Qi patted the dust on her head and shouted amidst the explosion: "I almost forgot about Xu Qingya, so I came back specially to take her out!"

Of course Ruan Qi didn't want to save Xu Qingya.

But she had already promised that she would definitely take Xu Qingya out. Now that you have said your word, you must keep it true.

Moreover, Xu Qingya had done so many bad things, and it was too easy for her to die here like this.

She had to live and spend her miserable old age helpless.

Ruan Qi picked up Xu Qingya like garbage.

Seeing this, Xi Jiu reached out to take Xu Qingya's hand, and protected Ruan Qi's head with the other hand: "The seventh floor underground is going to be unbearable, let's leave quickly!"

The explosion continued, and as the roar became louder and louder, the entire seventh underground floor began to collapse.

When Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu rushed into the safe passage, the ceiling of the seventh-floor laboratory underground crashed down with a bang.

The huge laboratory fell apart in an instant, and expensive instruments worth hundreds of millions, as well as precious information related to the nightmare poison and the experimental subjects, were all buried in the ruins.

Through the open door of the safety passage, Ruan Qi took a deep look at the collapsed seventh underground floor.

Buried in those ruins were crimes that lasted for more than twenty years, and the people who caused it all with their own hands.

"With the laboratory destroyed like this, that old bastard X shouldn't be able to survive, right?"

"Well." Ruan Qi looked away and said, "He is already at the end of his strength. He can't hold it when such a heavy ceiling falls. Let's leave him alone for now. This underground building will collapse at any time. Everyone, leave quickly. Get out as soon as possible before it collapses."

Time was running out, and everyone had no time to be happy about X's death, so they began a desperate escape.

The elevator is out of order, so you can only take the stairs. Half of the members of the action group have lost their ability to move. In this case, climbing stairs to escape has become a very difficult task.

The less injured team members took the initiative to take the responsibility of carrying their companions.

Ruan Qi was carrying a comatose wounded man on his back, holding one on each hand, and rushed towards the sixth floor underground with the wind at his feet.

Xi Jiu, Gu Feiyang and others carried their injured companions on their backs and followed closely behind her.

Six floors underground...Five floors underground...Four floors underground...

In order to prevent outsiders from invading, X headquarters was specially designed with a twisted layout during construction. Even the safe escape passages were intricate, with twisted connections between stairs, and each flight of stairs was long and steep.

At Ruan Qi's speed, it only took a minute at most to climb several floors, but it took her nearly five minutes to climb to the fourth underground floor.

In these short five minutes, the entire X headquarters became more and more shaky with the explosion.

"There are still three floors until we reach the ground. Please hold on!"

Ruan Qi supported his unconscious companion on his back, and then helped the two wounded people quickly walk up the steps leading to the third underground floor.

Suddenly, boom—! ! !

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the underground headquarters.

The ground in the safety passage shook crazily, and countless dust and debris fell rapidly from the top of the stairs.

"what happened?!"

"Where did the explosion happen again?!"

The violently shaking ground made it difficult for everyone to tremble smoothly, and climbing the stairs became difficult.

Ruan Qi was holding a wounded person with one hand and carrying another on his back. He couldn't free his hands and could only use his feet to maintain balance. She tried to steady herself amidst the tremors on the ground and shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't stop! Speed ​​up, we are about to reach the third floor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ceiling of the emergency passage cracked with a crack, and a piece of ceiling gypsum board larger than a human head fell straight on Ruan Qi's head.

Ruan Qi's mind was all on the three wounded and escaping, and she didn't notice the fallen gypsum board at all. She rushed up the stairs with all her heart, but suddenly, Xi Jiu's panicked voice sounded behind her.

"Baby, get out of the way!"

Following the man's roar, a figure quickly rushed towards Ruan Qi.

Before Ruan Qi could realize what was going on, he was knocked down by someone and rolled to the bottom of the steps in embarrassment.

boom--!

The heavy gypsum board fell hard and fell apart where Ruan Qi was standing just now. The gypsum board was very hard, and the fragments flew across the floor and walls of the safety passage, leaving deep marks.

You can imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if such a hard gypsum board hit your head.

Fortunately, Ruan Qi hid in time.

Everyone in the action team looked frightened, and Xi Jiu, who jumped on Ruan Qi and pushed her away in time, was even more frightened.

He pulled away the three wounded people who were pressing on Ruan Qi, helped the little girl up, and looked nervously: "Are there any injuries?"

Ruan Qi was still a little confused.

The entire process from falling off the gypsum board to Xi Jiu jumping on him took less than a minute. Everything happened so fast, Ruan Qi is still in the dark and doesn't know what happened.

But she soon saw the flying pieces of plasterboard and the damage marks on the steps of the stairs where she had just been standing.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

Ruan Qi's expression changed and she grabbed Xi Jiu's hand: "I'm not injured. What about you, Jiujiu? Were you hit?"

Xi Jiu cares about Ruan Qi, and Ruan Qi is even more worried about Xi Jiu.

What happened just now happened so suddenly, Xi Jiu pounced on it without even thinking. If the drywall fell, he would be the first to hit.

Ruan Qi stretched out her hand nervously and touched the man's head and back.

The back of Xi Jiu's head was not injured, but on his back... the warm and moist touch made Ruan Qi's heart tighten. She looked over in panic. The clothes on the man's back were scraped open by the plasterboard, and a strip was ten long. The skin was open and the flesh was open, and the scarlet blood instantly stung Ruan Qi's eyes.

"Jiujiu, you are injured!"

Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly turned red.

When the rest of the action team heard this, they all came over nervously.

"Brother Ninth is injured?"

"Damn it! What a long gash!"

"Quick! I have some hemostatic medicine, spray it quickly!"

As the leader of the team, Xi Jiu is not only the boss, but also the backbone of everyone. As soon as he was injured, everyone panicked and hurriedly took out medicine from their bags.

Seeing their panic, Xi Jiu suddenly felt displeased and scolded coldly: "What are you arguing about! What do you look like in such a panic? Do you need to cry for such a small injury?"

After scolding his men, he turned around again, his tone changed, and he said gently to Ruan Qi: "The baby doesn't cry, it's just a skin injury. Please give me some medicine and it won't hurt. But it's not safe here. Let's escape first." Would you like to go take care of the wound again?”

Although Ruan Qi was anxious, he also knew that it was more important to escape at this time.

She nodded with red eyes and helped Xi Jiu stand up.

"Jiujiu, take a hemostatic medicine first, and I will help you heal your injuries after you escape." She took out a hemostatic medicine and stuffed it into Xi Jiu's mouth, then lifted up the three wounded on the ground and carried them on her back, " Everyone, please pay attention to the top of your head and don’t get hit by falling rocks. Let’s go quickly.”

The tremors from the explosion were getting worse.

When Ruan Qi and his party arrived at the second underground floor, the surrounding walls and ceilings were already crumbling, and large cement blocks and broken bricks were smashing down crazily.

In order to protect their seriously injured companions, Ruan Qi, Xijiu and the others blocked the falling bricks with their bodies, and they also suffered many injuries on their bodies and heads.

But now it was important to escape, no one cried out in pain, they all rushed to the ground level with all their strength.

"We're almost there! Hold on and speed up!"

Xi Jiu's shout rang out amid the roaring explosion.

And as soon as he finished speaking, the safe passage leading to the underground level suddenly exploded with a loud "boom--".

It was deafening and the earth shook.

Everyone who was climbing the stairs lost their balance and fell to the ground one after another.

Ruan Qi quickly grabbed the handrail of the stairs with quick hands and eyes, and shouted: "Everyone find a point of support to stabilize! This place is about to collapse. We can't stay long. Let's go! Let's go!"

That old bastard named

But now, the explosion has climbed to the second underground floor.

If they don't speed up, the fuse of the explosive will burn to the underground level first. By that time, the sky will fall and the earth will fall, and everyone will have no way to escape.

Ruan Qi supported her body and pulled up her companion who fell on the ground.

Everyone also knew that this was a critical moment and did not dare to delay. They all got up in embarrassment and rushed to the underground level using their hands and feet.

As the explosives on the second underground floor were detonated, the surrounding area became increasingly shaky. The stairs beneath my feet were shaking. Since the lower floors had collapsed, there was a possibility of falling from the second underground floor at any time.

Everyone climbed up desperately.

Finally - the safety exit to the underground level has arrived!

"Everyone, speed up! We can go out soon!"

The exit of the But now, everyone is dragging their families and carrying the wounded on their backs, so their running speed will definitely slow down.

But the burning speed of the explosive fuse will not slow down because their speed slows down.

boom--!

Another loud bang.

As soon as the members of the action team climbed out of the safe passage, explosives exploded around the underground level.

X, that old bastard might have had the mentality of ‘If I don’t live, no one will live,’ and when installing the explosives, I deliberately doubled the amount of explosives on the underground level leading to the exit. Therefore, the explosion on the underground floor is more terrifying and violent than the explosions on the lower floors.

The explosions continued one after another, deafening. The violent explosion caused a huge shock, which spread all around. The second to seventh underground floors that were already crumbling due to the explosion completely collapsed. The underground layer built above them began to show signs of collapse as they collapsed.

Feeling that the ground beneath their feet seemed to be sinking, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

Xi Jiu's heart sank along with the ground. He supported the wounded on his back and raised his voice as loud as possible amidst the deafening explosions: "There is no time! Everyone speed up! Send out the incapacitated companions first!"

Everyone fled towards the exit as hard as they could.

As the ground shook violently and collapsed, the road underfoot became increasingly difficult to walk. The two wounded men supported by Ruan Qi were almost lifted up by her, and their feet were dangling in the air as they ran along with Ruan Qi.

"Almost there! Work harder!"

The stairs leading to the ground level exit were getting closer.

When the action team broke in before, they had already destroyed the door with firepower. At this time, a ray of sunshine poured in from the broken door, bringing unlimited hope to everyone.

Ruan Qi increased her speed to the extreme, rushed up the stairs first, and headed straight for the exit.

However, when she escaped to the exit, she did not go out. Instead, she threw the two wounded people in her hands out of the exit with a strong shake.

The two wounded men fell to the ground in a state of confusion, a little dazed.

"Doctor Ruan?"

"Go on." Ruan Qi removed the seriously injured and unconscious companion from his back and threw it hard towards the exit.

The two wounded men hurriedly caught the man.

Ruan Qi: "You guys go out first. If there is a signal outside, call the medical staff and support. I will go back and help everyone."

After quickly explaining, Ruan Qi had already turned back before the two people could react.

The rest of the action team were almost at the exit at this time.

But what followed was an even more violent collapse and explosion.

That old bastard X installed multiple explosives at the exit. With a deafening roar, the entire exit began to fall apart.

Large rocks fell from the top of the head, hitting people's heads and bodies. The ground was still sinking. Everything seemed to be the end of the world. Everyone had no way to escape and could only fight for the only ray of light. Run wild wherever the sun shines in.

"It's coming soon! Hurry up! Hurry!"

Xi Jiu's roar was almost drowned in the roaring explosion.

Everyone in the action team followed closely behind him. Suddenly, a young man running at the back tripped over a stone and fell to the ground in a panic.

At the same time, the downward collapse of the ground quickly spread to this side, and a huge crack split the ground into two, like a bloody mouth, biting the young man's body, trying to drag him mercilessly. Into the abyss.

"Help-help me!!!"

The young man cried out in panic for help.

When the troops running in front heard his shout, they turned around and their expressions changed dramatically.

"Xiao Xu!"

"Xiao Xu is going to fall!"

Subconsciously, everyone wanted to rush over to save people.

All those in the mobility group who were capable of mobility were carrying one or two seriously injured companions on their backs. If they rush to save Xiao Xu, they will definitely put their seriously injured companions in danger.

Faced with such a dilemma, Xi Jiu threw the companion on her back into Gu Feiyang's arms and rushed towards Xiao Xu decisively.

However, there was someone faster than him.

A familiar fragrant wind drifted by, and Ruan Qi's figure was like a bolt of lightning, rushing to Xiao Xu in the blink of an eye.

"catch me!"

She knelt down and bent down, grabbed Xiao Xu who was sinking, and dragged him out of the crack by his belt.

Fortunately, he saved his life. Xiao Xu's face turned pale: "Thank you, thank you Dr. Ruan..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you can't stay here for long, run away!"

Ruan Qi picked him up, turned around and ran towards the exit.

Big rocks kept falling from the roof, hitting her body and head, but Ruan Qi didn't feel the pain and ran all the way to the exit.

She threw Xiao Xu in her hand out of the exit and was about to turn back again, but she happened to run into Xi Jiu who was sending the wounded out.

"Baby, you stay here, I'll pick them up." The situation inside was too dangerous, and Xi Jiu didn't want Ruan Qi to go in again.

But Ruan Qi pushed his hand away.

"Multiple people can provide multiple protections. Time is running out now. Let's rescue everyone first."

After saying that, without waiting for Xi Jiu to speak again, Ruan Qi rushed in.

Members of the action team fled to the exit one after another.

You were holding me and I was holding you, everyone looked very embarrassed.

Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu were the least injured. They went back and forth again and again, carrying out all the wounded who had lost the ability to move.

"Is everyone here? Is there anyone who hasn't come out yet?"

Gu Feiyang stood up awkwardly, counted the number of people, and frowned slightly: "Is there one missing? Or did I count wrongly? Can everyone check with each other to see if everyone has come out?"

"...One more to go," a weak voice came.

The members of the action team, who were lying on the ground about to go into shock due to excessive blood loss, struggled to speak: "Chen, Chen Feng... I didn't see him..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the underground stairs leading to the exit.

Along with it, there was a familiar scream.

"It's Chen Feng's voice!"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Xi Jiu immediately turned around and ran inside: "You stay outside, I'll go in and save him!"

"Jiujiu!"

Ruan Qi raised her foot and was about to follow, but Bai Yuchen raised her hand to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Ninth is most at ease if you stay outside. With his strength, he will definitely rescue Chen Feng safely."

Ruan Qi pursed her lips, struggling in her heart for a long time, and finally took back her steps.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Nearly two minutes have passed since Xi Jiu returned to rescue Chen Feng.

The underground headquarters is now like a man-eating devil's cave. The sky is falling and the earth is falling. If you stay there for a second longer, there will be more dangers. The longer Xi Jiu went in, the more anxious everyone became.

"Brother Ninth, why haven't you come out yet? Something happened, right..." A member of the action team was muttering in a low voice when his companion suddenly glared at him.

He was slightly startled and looked in the direction of his companion's finger. At the exit directly in front, Ruan Qi stood stiffly in a state of embarrassment. Her eyes were fixed on the stairs leading to the underground headquarters. The hands hanging down by her sides were tightly grasping the trousers. Her fingertips, which were white from the exertion, betrayed her inner uneasiness.

It's been two minutes and Xi Jiu hasn't come out yet.

Ruan Qi's face gradually turned pale, and Gu Feiyang, who was standing not far behind her, hesitated, covered his wound and walked over.

"Brother Ninth will come out safely, you... don't worry too much."

Ruan Qi's eyelashes trembled uneasily.

Gu Feiyang was a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss. He leaned against the big stone at the exit, breathed hard, and said hoarsely: "Wait one more minute. If Brother Ninth doesn't come out, Bo and I will go in to find him."

Although Ruan Qi cares about Xi Jiu, she will not let a seriously injured person take risks for her. She shook her head and turned to look at Gu Feiyang. Just as she was about to speak, the koi skill that had not appeared for a long time suddenly activated.

The world in front of Ruan Qi was turned upside down in an instant.

Gu Feiyang, who was originally empty, was actually filled with a blood-red aura after the koi skill was activated.

Not only him, but also everyone in the action team had a layer of blood red all over their bodies.

how so?

A blood-red aura represents great evil, meaning someone will die in the near future. But everyone has come out safely, so how could anyone die?

Ruan Qi felt inexplicably panicked. She stared at Gu Feiyang. Suddenly, everything in front of her was distorted. Some messy pictures flashed in front of her eyes like a movie lens——

The underground headquarters collapsed, with large rocks blocking the exit.

Everyone in the action team knelt around the exit, with sad expressions and red eyes. They kept digging at the big rocks blocking the exit with their hands, and kept shouting something in their mouths.

Ruan Qi couldn't hear the voices in the picture, but could see their mouth movements.

They were shouting, Ninth Brother.

They were saying, Ninth Brother, hold on, the rescue team will be here soon.

Bai Li said that koi's skills can see what will happen in the future. In other words, the exit of the underground headquarters will collapse soon, and Xi Jiu... will be crushed under countless rocks and narrowly escape death.

Ruan Qi's head buzzed for a moment.

The picture in front of me distorted and disappeared again, and returned to reality. Ruan Qi felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze. She asked Bai Li with a trembling voice: "Uncle Bai Li, the scenes you see in the koi skills are bound to happen, right?"

Bai Li also saw the scenes just now. He was silent for a moment and nodded.

Ruan Qi's face turned pale.

Gu Feiyang noticed her sudden abnormality and couldn't help but straighten up: "What's wrong with you?"

Ruan Qi's body was crumbling. Gu Feiyang reached out to help her, but Ruan Qi suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Jiujiu is in danger, I want to find him!"

The girl's eyes were red, and Gu Feiyang felt that her mood was not right, so he persuaded him: "Brother Ninth is very strong, and even if there is danger, he will turn danger into disaster. Let's wait for another half minute. If we don't come out, I will go in and look for you." he."

But this time, Ruan Qi didn't listen to him.

She grabbed his arm tightly and said word by word in a mute voice: "In a short time, the exit will collapse, and Jiujiu and Chen Feng will be buried underneath. We have no time, I have to save him." Gu Feiyang, you must believe what I say and contact the rescue team and excavator immediately and ask them to come over as quickly as possible!"

These words are too unbelievable, will the exit collapse? Will Xi Jiu be buried underneath?

how can that be possible?

Gu Feiyang didn't want to believe it, but Ruan Qi's expression was so sad that he couldn't help but panic.

"Is everything you said true?"

"I won't joke with Jiujiu's life! Contact the rescue team quickly and I'll go in and save him!"

After Ruan Qi finished speaking, before Gu Feiyang could react, he ducked and rushed into the underground entrance.

At this time, the underground headquarters had been blown apart by continuous explosions. Broken boulders continued to fall from the top of the head, the ground shook so hard that it was almost impossible to stand, and the smell of gunpowder, dust and blood filled every inch of the air.

Ruan Qi covered her mouth and nose and walked forward with difficulty.

"Uncle Bai Li, where is Jiujiu now?"

The white glass floating in the air quickly wandered around. Soon, he made a surprised voice: "Found it! Northeast! Wait a minute... The boy from the Xi family is injured?!"

Ruan Qi's heart tightened instantly.

Bai Li's voice gradually became panicked: "Qi Yatou, come quickly! The situation of the Xi family boy is not good!"

Ruan Qi looked pale and moved as fast as possible.

She passed through many obstacles with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Finally, when she avoided the third falling boulder, she saw Xi Jiu's figure.

Xi Jiu's current situation is indeed not very good.

Chen Feng, a member of the action team, fell behind because his right foot got stuck in a rock crevice. Because his feet couldn't be pulled out from the cracks in the rocks, and his body couldn't avoid the falling boulders, Chen Feng had already been seriously injured by the time Xi Jiu found him.

Upon seeing this, Xi Jiu immediately helped him pull his feet out from the crack in the stone. He carried Chen Feng for a while and when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, there was another explosion all around him.

The violent explosion shook the ceiling above the head open, and thick gypsum boards and stones fell crazily.

In order to protect Chen Feng's last breath, Xi Jiu bore all the damage alone. He was already injured, and this time he was even more injured. What was even more unfortunate was that among the falling rocks, a big one hit him on the head.

Although Xi Jiu is a master of ancient martial arts, he is also a mortal body. The head is the most vulnerable part of the human body. When such a large stone fell, a hole was instantly opened in the back of Xi Jiu's head, causing him to temporarily lose his ability to move.

When Ruan Qi arrived, what he saw was Xi Jiu's head covered in blood.

Her eyes suddenly turned red and she ran all the way to Xi Jiu.

"Jiujiu!"

Xi Jiu was hit by a big stone and suffered severe tinnitus. Amidst the roar, he vaguely heard the little girl's cry. At first, he thought he was being knocked out of an illusion, but the next second, he fell into a gentle embrace.

"How are you, Jiujiu? Why is there so much blood on your head? Where are you injured?"

Although he had been practicing medicine for several years, Ruan Qi now seemed like an inexperienced medical rookie, panicking and not knowing what to do.

She carefully held Xi Jiu's shoulders, and her fingers tremblingly pulled away the hair regardless of the dirt on his head.

The hideous wound was like a devil, dormant in the hair, dripping with blood, shocking.

Ruan Qi's tears suddenly flowed out.

"Jiu, Jiujiu, don't be afraid, I'll give you medicine. The bleeding will stop soon, you'll be fine soon!"

Ruan Qi took out the medicine bottle with trembling hands and twisted it several times before unscrewing the cork.

She poured out all the powder from the medicine bottle and sprinkled it on Xi Jiu's wound.

The hemostatic medicine touched the wound, causing a sharp pain. Xi Jiu's somewhat dilated interpupillary distance finally returned to normal under the stimulation of pain.

The darkness in front of him dissipated, and he saw the little girl's face full of tears.

"Baby, don't cry, I'm fine."

Xi Jiu tried her best to raise her head and hugged Ruan Qi into her arms: "It's just a hit on the head, not a serious injury. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go out first."

Ruan Qi also knew that now was not the time for love between children, so she suppressed the worry in her heart and helped Xi Jiu stand up from the ground.

Xi Jiu's head was seriously injured now, and it would definitely be impossible for him to carry Chen Feng on his back again. Fortunately, Ruan Qi is very strong and can move freely even with a 1.8 meter tall man on his back.

She put Chen Feng on her back, then supported Xi Jiu with one hand, and the three of them moved quickly towards the exit.

As the explosion intensified, many places on the first floor of the underground headquarters were blocked by falling boulders. Ruan Qi and the other three struggled to open up a path, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow for several minutes before finally seeing the sunlight streaming in from the exit.

"It's almost here, hold on!"

Ruan Qi lifted Chen Feng on his back, staring at the sunlight at the exit with bright eyes, and even his steps became lighter.

I'm leaving here soon.

All the enemies have been dealt with. As long as they can leave here safely, she and Jiujiu can go home.

Ruan Qi's eyes brightened when he thought of his family in the imperial capital.

But the next second——

Boom! ! !

"Baby!!!"

A loud noise like tearing the sky and the earth exploded in the ears along with Xi Jiu's roar.

Ruan Qi had just pushed Chen Feng and Xi Jiu out of the obstacles at the exit. Before they could turn around, darkness suddenly fell in front of them.

In an instant, the sky fell and the earth collapsed, and the world spun crazily.

The underground headquarters collapsed.

After countless explosions, it finally couldn't bear it and collapsed completely.

Ruan Qi felt that the place where she was standing was sinking rapidly, and countless stones fell on her, as if they were going to press her into the endless abyss.

The wind in his ears whistled as he fell, and Ruan Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's over.

This time, it seems that I really can’t go home.

"I still haven't escaped death after all..."

A faint sigh disappeared in the darkness.

Ruan Qi closed her eyes. Her strength was exhausted and she was unable to use any means of self-protection. She could only accept her fate and let her body fall downward until death came.

However, the next second...

A strong hand hugged her waist tightly.

Ruan Qi's heart skipped a beat when a familiar scent drifted in the wind, and she quickly opened her eyes.

"Jiujiu?!"

In the darkness, Xi Jiu's bloodshot eyes were filled with endless panic and fear. And the moment he hugged Ruan Qi, the fear in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Baby, don't be afraid." He held Ruan Qi in his arms, and their bodies fell rapidly in the air.

Ruan Qi, who was originally waiting for death calmly, began to panic.

"Didn't I push you out of the exit? Why did you come back? Xi Jiu, have your brain been smashed?"

The always sweet girl angrily called a man by his full name for the first time.

Xi Jiu was not angry after hearing this, but held her head firmly in his arms.

"How can I let you face this alone?" He kissed her gently on the forehead, "Even if we have to be buried deep in the ground, we have to be together."

"..." Ruan Qi's lips trembled and tears flowed out.

She began desperately looking for a way to escape.

"I still have a little bit of energy left. If I fall down later, I'll use my energy to protect your head. Jiujiu, can you protect your body?"

Xi Jiu laughed, but didn't say whether it was good or bad.

Ruan Qi just thought he agreed and began to work hard to use the little energy left in her body.

As the fall becomes deeper and deeper, the speed of the fall increases exponentially. After a few breaths, Ruan Qi felt the impending death. She immediately reached out and hugged Xi Jiu's injured head, protecting him with all her remaining strength.

"Jiujiu, protect yourself!"

Ruan Qi held Xi Jiu's head tightly.

However, at the moment when she was about to fall to the ground, Xi Jiu, whose head was held by her, suddenly exerted force and reversed their positions.

boom--!

Gravel splattered.

Xi Jiu, who was lying underneath Ruan Qi, fell into the ruins, and the blood all over her body spread like a winding blood snake.

Ruan Qi raised her head from Xi Jiu's arms and stared blankly at the blood pouring out of his body, as if she couldn't believe what she saw: "...Jiu Jiu?"

Xi Jiu, who was under her, opened his mouth, but before the sound came out, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The scarlet blood stung Ruan Qi's eyes, and countless tears flowed out.

"Jiujiu...Jiujiu, where are you injured? Who asked you to make your own decisions and support me? What should I do if something happens to you?" Ruan Qi, who had always been confident, felt scared and panicked for the first time.

She was shaking violently and kept digging her hands into her pockets: "Don't move. I have medicine and silver needles in my pocket. I will definitely cure you..."

Ruan Qi did not dare to touch Xi Jiu's body, so she only pinched his chin and fed the medicine in.

Then she took out the silver needle from the wristband, but because her hands were shaking so much, she couldn't get the acupuncture point right.

This is a mistake she has never made again since she started practicing blind tying at the age of seven.

Ruan Qi's emotions were a little out of control.

She bit her lip tightly, her fingertips holding the silver needle turned white, and she tried hard to pierce the needle tip into Xi Jiu's body.

"Jiujiu, don't be afraid... I'll stop your bleeding first, and you'll be fine soon... You'll be fine soon..."

Ruan Qi didn't know who she was comforting, she kept mumbling, and her acupuncture movements gradually accelerated.

However, Xi Jiu was bleeding faster than expected.

Falling from such a high place, the ruins are full of sharp-edged stones. Xi Jiu carried the weight of the two of them and fell on it, and even the bones in his body were probably broken.

Such a serious injury cannot be cured by just a few silver needles. The medicine on Ruan Qi's body had almost been used up before, and the remaining hemostatic medicine could not stop the many wounds on Xi Jiu's body.

When the last silver needle was used up, Ruan Qi's eyes showed despair.

"Why is there so much bleeding? Why can't it be stopped? There must be a way, there must be a way!"

She pressed Xi Jiu's acupuncture points hard, and even tore her coat into strips, trying to stop the bleeding with physical methods.

However, he still couldn't stop.

The blood flowed more and more, forming scarlet puddles all over Xi Jiu.

The look of despair on Ruan Qi's face became more intense.

"Jiujiu..." Her face was pale, and her dirty face was covered with tears, "I don't seem to be able to save you... I can't stop your bleeding..."

Xi Jiu's consciousness began to fade at this time.

In a daze, he seemed to hear Ruan Qi's cry. The cry was full of despair, and Xi Jiu couldn't help but think of the day when she was drowned in the river ten years ago.

That day, nine-year-old Ruan Qi also cried desperately.

"Brother Bingshan...Brother Bingshan..."

"Jiujiu...Jiujiu, wake up! Jiujiu!!!"

Two calls that spanned ten years overlapped at this moment. The sorrow and despair in the girl's tone made Xi Jiu's soul tremble, and his scattered consciousness finally woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ruan Qi, who was full of panic.

Xi Jiu's fingers moved and they lifted up with difficulty.

"Don't...cry..."

He wanted to wipe away Ruan Qi's tears with his own hands, but falling from a height caused all the bones in his body to break. Xi Jiu's hand only raised less than two centimeters before falling back weakly.

Ruan Qi quickly took his hand and held it tightly in her palm: "Jiujiu, just hold on, I will find a way out right now and I will definitely take you out. We will all be saved!"

Ruan Qi said, wanting to get up and look for an exit.

But as soon as she moved, Xi Jiu hooked her clothes with his fingers.

"...Jiujiu?"

"Stop...looking for it..." Xi Jiu tried his best to grab the corner of her clothes, "Baby...come here...I have something to...tell you..."

The man's usually cold black eyes were extremely gentle now. He looked at Ruan Qi intently, his eyes greedily locked on every inch of skin on her face, like a dying person who wished to keep his lover's appearance firmly in his soul before he died.

Such a gaze made Ruan Qi's heart tremble.

She squatted down subconsciously: "Jiujiu..."

"In my backpack... there are two compressed biscuits and... a bottle of water. With your ancient martial arts skills... these foods can last for at least ten days..." Xi Jiu's voice was extremely weak, and he seemed to explain His last words were like giving Ruan Qi instructions one by one in every detail.

"The depth here... should be six or seven floors underground... According to the building specifications of the ...Gu Feiyang and the others will definitely find a way..."

"These few days will be... difficult... Baby, just hold on... you'll be out soon..."

Xi Jiu's voice became weaker and weaker, and his words gradually became confused.

Ruan Qi had already burst into tears and kept shaking her head: "Jiujiu, wake up... I'm timid, I can't survive alone... Please get up and stay with me..."

Xi Jiu lost consciousness and could no longer hear the sounds from the outside world. The distance between his pupils widened little by little, and his usually cold eyes slowly closed.

The empty and dark underground became as silent as dead water.

Ruan Qi stared blankly at Xi Jiu's closed eyes, then suddenly raised her hand and touched his pulse with trembling fingertips.

...no jump at all.

Ruan Qi suddenly fell to the ground.

All the blood drained from her face at this moment, and she stared straight at Xi Jiu, her dark pupils as if they had no soul.

"Jiujiu..."

A hoarse, rusty voice came out of her throat.

But the man who always responded to her did not open his eyes this time.

Ruan Qi's eyes turned red in an instant.

She got up from the ground in embarrassment, threw herself on Xi Jiu, and grabbed his clothes tightly.

"Jiujiu, wake up... I'm scared to be alone... Open your eyes and look at me!"

"Jiujiu...I beg you, wake up quickly!"

"Brother Bingshan... Xiao Qi is scared... Xiao Qi doesn't want to be alone... Get up and stay with me!"

Ruan Qi's voice gradually turned from a whisper to heartbreaking. She clutched Xi Jiu tightly, every cry was filled with endless despair, and her red peach blossom eyes almost shed tears of blood.

Bai Li, who had been floating in the air and unable to help, looked at this scene with distress.

"Qi Yatou... calm down, there is no resurrection after death..."

Before she finished speaking, Ruan Qi suddenly raised her head and looked over with murderous eyes: "Jiujiu is not dead!!!"

"..." Bai Li opened her mouth and swallowed everything she wanted to say.

Ruan Qi's mood has completely collapsed. She usually looks soft and sweet, but her obsession with certain things is deeper than ordinary people.

This can be seen from the fact that she has remembered Brother Bingshan in her subconscious for ten years.

Xi Jiu is Brother Bingshan, her salvation and obsession when she was a child. But now, her obsession is gone, and her mental state is once again facing collapse.

Bai Li looked at Ruan Qi who was out of control, anxious and worried.

"Qi Yatou, the Xi family boy came... to save you. You can't collapse, you have to cheer up, otherwise how can you be worthy of his efforts?"

Ruan Qi hugged Xi Jiu, as if he were a lifeless statue, and even his breathing was frighteningly weak.

Bai Li continued: "You also have to think about your relatives in the imperial capital. If something happens to you, what will happen to your parents, master, and grandparents? And the Xi family, the boy from the Xi family has... If something happens again, how will Mr. Xi live?"

Ruan Qi remained silent and hugged Xi Jiu's body motionlessly.

Bai Li was so anxious that she wanted to rush forward and tear her away from Xi Jiu: "Qi Yatou, you..."

"Jiujiu's destiny is not like this."

Ruan Qi suddenly spoke, and Bai Li didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Jiujiu's destiny is not like this." Ruan Qi let go of Xi Jiu, sat up slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I once asked Zhuge Lang about Jiujiu's destiny. Zhuge Lang said, Jiujiu's destiny Extremely expensive, it is a lucky sign that only happens once in a hundred years. How can such a good destiny lead to a short life?"

Bai Li: "Well... maybe fate will change..."

"No, it's not." Ruan Qi shook his head, his eyes empty, "Zhuge Lang said that Jiujiu was noble throughout his life, but there is only one thing that is uncertain...his life and death seems to be related to feelings. Zhuge Lang once approved Jiujiu Eight words..."

"Love lasts forever, and life and death are unpredictable."

It is a rare luck opportunity in a century, and you should live your life without illness or disaster, with all the stars supporting the moon. But because of his deep love, he ended up with an unpredictable end.

And now, this comment has come true.

In order to protect Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu really lost his life.

"Without me, Jiujiu would not have died."

Ruan Qi regretted being with Xi Jiu for the first time.

Bai Li looked at her pale face and opened her mouth: "Qi, Qi girl, don't blame yourself... The Xi family boy, he, he is willing..."

"Uncle Bai Li," Ruan Qi interrupted him, looking at him blankly with dark eyes, "I was the one who was supposed to die today, right?"

After Jiang Chunian died, Zhuge Lang conducted a divination for her. The hexagram shows that half of her death calamity has passed, but the remaining half of the death calamity will be more dangerous and difficult to solve.

Today, Xi Jiu died to save her, which made Ruan Qi have to doubt... Could today be her death? Did Xi Jiu lose his life because he blocked the disaster for her?

Ruan Qi looked at Bai Li with empty eyes.

Bai Li's scalp was numb when she saw her, and she had to tell the truth: "Since just now, your death calamity has indeed shown signs of dissipating, but it has not completely disappeared... This means that the death calamity is not over yet, don't be too sad. …”

Bai Li tried his best to talk about him.

But Ruan Qi only heard one sentence - since Xi Jiu lost her life, there were indeed signs of her death being dissipated.

Xi Jiu died just to protect her from disaster.

Ruan Qi's pupils trembled, and she let out a cry-like laugh from her throat.

"They all blame me...I shouldn't have let him come, and I shouldn't have met him again ten years later...Ten years ago he became a vegetative state to save me, and ten years later he did it again to save me...Bai Uncle Li, I harmed Jiujiu...I harmed him..."

Ruan Qi, who suffered an emotional breakdown, fell into crazy self-blame.

Bai Li was so anxious that she didn't know how to comfort her: "Qi, Qi girl..."

"I want to save him." Ruan Qi suddenly said.

Bai Li: "What?"

"I want to save Jiujiu." Ruan Qi raised her head and looked directly at Bai Li with her red eyes, "Uncle Bai Li, I have accumulated so many faith points, I can definitely save people, right?"

Bai Li was frightened by her thoughts.

"You want to use your faith points to save people?! Qi Ya, you spent two years working hard to save that. If your faith points are gone, you will not be able to survive at all!"

"It doesn't matter! As long as Jiujiu can be rescued, everything doesn't matter!" Ruan Qi's voice trembled violently, "Anyway, I will die before I am twenty years old. It is an unexpected blessing to live for one more year. But Jiujiu is different. , he is the proud son of heaven, he should have lived his life smoothly, I can't let him die like this...Uncle Bai Li, can you help me? Please help me!"

Ruan Qi's idea is too crazy.

For Xi Jiu, she didn't even want her life.

Bai Li took a step back in fright and shook her head: "People's hearts are made of flesh. I am also sad that the Xi family boy died. But Qi Yatou, I hope you can live more than the Xi family boy. You Think about your parents and family, they are still waiting for you to go back. And you are only twenty-one years old, you still have a great time..."

"Jiujiu is only twenty-seven years old!!!"

Ruan Qi interrupted him hoarsely, "He also has a family! He also has parents and a grandfather! He shouldn't have to bear all this! I should bear all the disasters and fates alone! Why should I let him? Die for me!"

Bai Li opened her mouth, but had no words to refute.

Ruan Qi knelt on the ground and crawled a few steps in his direction feebly: "Uncle Bai Li, for the sake of our two-year bond, please help me. I have accumulated so many faith points, you Keep some for yourself and give the rest to Jiujiu, okay?"

Bai Li is an artifact and will never die. Although his spiritual power is weak now, as long as his faith value is there, he can slowly recover it.

Ruan Qi would not be so selfish as to risk Bai Li's life and death in order to save Xi Jiu.

She just wanted to use that part of her faith to get Xi Jiu back.

Bai Li was shocked by Ruan Qi's sorrowful plea.

Since being bound two years ago, Bai Li has seen many sides of Ruan Qi's character. She has been sweet and soft, ruthless, ruthless, and gentle. But no matter what kind of character she is, Ruan Qi has never bent her spine or knees, and her bones will always be strong.

But now, in order to save Xi Jiu, she knelt on the ground willingly.

Such Ruan Qi made Bai Li unable to remain moved.

He has lived in the human world for tens of thousands of years and has seen countless love, hate and separation. It is precisely because he has seen too much that Bai Li understands how valuable true love is better than ordinary people.

A promise of life and death, never leaving... Such precious love and such sincere begging made Bai Li unable to say no.

He looked at Ruan Qi silently for a long time before speaking: "Qi Yatou, have you really decided? Will you use the decades of life you have worked hard to save in exchange for his resurrection?"

"Yes." Ruan Qi looked up at him, eyes red from crying, full of determination, "I want to save him."

"Even if you die?"

"Even if I die."

Bai Li opened her mouth and asked, "Is it worth it? Your family is still waiting for you, are you really willing to do it?"

Mentioning her family, Ruan Qi was silent for a moment and said with a hoarse voice: "Of course I can't bear to part with you. As the daughter of my parents, I never fulfilled my filial piety properly and always made them worry. The same goes for my master. He taught me so much and also I have to worry about my body every day. Of course I can’t bear to leave them. But..."

She raised her head, her eyes red from crying: "Master once taught me that one cannot be greedy for life and afraid of death. No matter how difficult life is, one must grit one's teeth and carry it. Death is mine, so I should carry it myself. We The little fairy is so tough, how can she let her fiancé die on her behalf?"

Ruan Qi cried many times today, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to have been washed by tears, clean, clear, and bright.

Bai Li was stared at by these bright eyes, and she felt a sense of shame in her heart... When Ruan Qi said that he would change Xi Jiu's life just now, he really had the idea of ​​deceiving Ruan Qi.

Compared to Xi Jiu, Ruan Qi is the person Bai Li regards as family. As long as he tells Ruan Qi that faith points cannot be exchanged for lives, Ruan Qi will live smoothly, but Xi Jiu will never be resurrected.

Bai Li didn't think her idea was that bad before. After all, people's hearts are biased, and he was leaning towards Ruan Qi.

However, after listening to Ruan Qi's words and looking at her bright and tenacious eyes, Bai Li finally realized how selfish and dirty her thoughts were.

He was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect that an old man like me, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, can't understand it better than a little girl like you. That's all, that's all. Anyway, you saved the faith. You have the final say how you want to use it. Old man, I will risk my life. I’ll accompany you, gentleman.”

Bai Li finally let go, and Ruan Qi's eye circles turned red again.

She looked at him, her heart full of gratitude and guilt: "I'm sorry, Uncle Bai Li, for causing you to regain your spiritual power. After I transfer the faith value to Jiujiu, you can untie me. There are so many people in the entertainment industry Star, you go find a more popular and popular binding."

Bai Li was happy when she heard this: "Okay, next time I will directly bind a little golden figure and follow her to eat and drink. I will earn faith points even when I lie down."

"Okay." Ruan Qi rubbed the corners of her wet eyes and agreed with a smile, "Uncle Bai Li will definitely make your dream come true."

Bai Li grinned and wanted to smile, but instead showed an expression that was uglier than crying.

There was silence in the air.

Ruan Qi was silent for a long time, and then his voice sounded in the empty ground: "Uncle Bai Li, I'll trouble you next."

"……good."

On the surface of X headquarters, the originally flat wasteland collapsed into a terrifying crater.

Everyone in the action team rushed into the pit with red eyes and dug out large rocks with their bare hands.

"Where is the rescue team? Why haven't they arrived yet!" Gu Feiyang's sanity was on the verge of collapse.

Bai Yuchen was injured and cried out "Brother Nine".

Bo also gritted his teeth and the phone in his hand rattled. He stared at Yangliu's phone number on the phone screen, and his fingers seemed to be extremely heavy to press the dial button.

China, the imperial capital.

The news that Organization X had been completely destroyed was transmitted back immediately, along with all the experimental data on the nightmare poison.

In an instant, everyone was excited.

The national medical team cheered, and major hospitals that received the news also breathed a sigh of relief. The Ruan family, who had been silently providing financial help to all the poisoned people, finally smiled. Nie Beilou, who had not slept in the hospital for nearly 72 hours, finally dropped his hanging heart.

Nie Heng, who had been following Nie Beilou to rescue people, turned red with excitement: "My senior sister is so awesome! Such a big X organization, she and her brother-in-law destroyed it at their word! I'm so worried here that I can't eat. They actually did such a big thing without saying a word! Master, Organization X is in trouble, will Senior Sister and the others be back soon?"

Nie Beilou took off his mask and nodded.

"After the handover with Interpol is completed, they should be able to return to the country."

"Great!" Nie Heng slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly, "Senior sister is a big contributor this time. When she comes back, we will give her a welcome party! Didn't she say she wanted to eat roasted whole lamb a few days ago? ?Master, should we hold an all-sheep banquet at our master’s gate?”

Nie Beilou, who never liked the excitement, agreed for the first time this time.

"Okay. You can do whatever you want." As he said that, he stood up and took off his white coat.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"Take a shower and get some sleep. Have a good night's rest and take your senior sister home."

As he finished speaking, Nie Beilou's cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

His heart trembled inexplicably, and just as he was about to turn around, he saw on his left wrist the prayer beads that Ruan Qi had personally begged for for many years—

There was a 'pop' and it broke.

The missing person has returned, his body has finally returned to normal, and updates will resume soon! The text will be finished tomorrow!
