Three shots were fired simultaneously, but Yun Mengluo deftly dodged them, her speed comparable to Gu Xia at her peak.
Then, an alarm sounded in Zone 9, piercingly loud...
A micro drone appeared overhead at some unknown point, and Yun Mengluo pressed a switch on her wrist.
A bomb was half-dropped, and at the same time, she pressed a device behind her, suddenly unfurling a huge parachute.
She grabbed Yu Xiuli's hand and ascended directly into the air.
And all of this, those present could only watch, unable to stop it.
When the bomb dropped, everyone scrambled to avoid it.
But the bomb's power was unexpectedly tremendous, injuring everyone on the scene to varying degrees.
Especially Gu Xia, who regained consciousness five days later.
When Gu Xia opened her eyes, she only felt the world was blurry; she could see the white brightness but nothing specific.
"Is anyone there?" she softly spoke.
"Gu Xia, you're awake."
