Chapter 264 Someone Wants Them Dead
Duan Ming named this person "Xiao Hong" to take revenge on him. Who made him always answer questions without knowing anything? But Duan Ming didn't expect that the other party would agree to it.
"Xiao Hong?"
"What?"
Seeing that the other party really agreed with the name Xiao Hong, Duan Ming felt much better. Since he couldn't get any useful information, he simply stopped asking.
"I'll sleep for a while. If there is any situation, remember to wake me up."
"It's useless to wake you up. You can't help."
Duan Ming thought that Xiao Hong's strength was so strong. If he could use it for himself, the strength of the Duan family would definitely rise to a higher level. But if he kept such a straightforward strong man, wouldn't he, as the head of the family, lose a lot of face?
Perhaps because of the injury, Duan Ming fell asleep unconsciously. In his dream, he was still hit by Xiao Hong's "sharp" words. Self-confidence was hit until he couldn't bear it anymore and woke up from the dream.
"Master, you finally woke up!"
As soon as he woke up, Duan Ming heard the insect girl's crying voice. He looked around. It was pitch black here, not much better than being unable to see one's hand in front of one's face.
"Aren't we in the eighth domain? Where is this place?"
He stood up with the help of the insect girl and listened to her narration: "Master, you have been sleeping for five days and five nights! I don't know where this place is. It was Xiao Hong who asked the wind blade beast to come. The wind blade beast and I were unwilling to come, but... but we can't beat him."
Duan Ming was not surprised that the insect girl was not Xiao Hong's opponent. The ninth-level wind blade beast couldn't beat him. How strong is Xiao Hong!
"One more day, we will reach the exit and return to reality."
Xiao Hong's voice rang in Duan Ming's ears, which really scared Duan Ming.
"Exit? No! We can't leave here now!"
A snap of the fingers, and then with Duan Ming as the center, the surrounding area of 100 meters gradually brightened up, and Duan Ming could see Xiao Hong's figure clearly.
"If you continue to stay here, you will die."
Xiao Hong's words were not alarmist. Duan Ming's bleeding had indeed stopped, but there was no treatment equipment here. If he continued to stay, Duan Ming would either die or suffer from extremely serious sequelae.
"No! I can leave, but I must find Yaqing and Xianglu first! Otherwise, even if I die, I will not leave!"
According to what the middle-aged Duan Ming said before, if Duan Ming just left here, Tang Yaqing and Bai Xianglu would fall into a coma after returning to the real world. If that were the case, it would be even more unacceptable to Duan Ming than to take his life.
"Didn't you say you would protect me? As long as you help me find Yaqing and Xianglu, I will leave with you immediately!"
Xiao Hong frowned slightly and stared at Duan Ming closely. After a long time, she threw out a sentence.
"Trouble."
Although Xiaohong did not directly agree to Duan Ming, she did not refuse. Duan Ming was delighted and hurriedly said to the Wind Blade Beast: "Wind Blade Beast! Return the same way! Let's go find Yaqing and Xianglu!"
Five days later, the Wind Blade Beast brought Duan Ming and the other two back to the headquarters of the Duan family in this world.
When the middle-aged Duan Ming saw Duan Ming wrapped in bandages in the villa, he was also stunned.
"Although your injury is not fatal for the time being, you can't hold on for long. After all, you don't belong to this world, and the treatment equipment here can't have any effect on you."
Duan Ming had guessed this a long time ago: "Don't worry, I won't die before I find Yaqing and Xianglu."
Looking up at the insect girl, the middle-aged Duan Ming stood up, walked in front of the insect girl, raised his hand and gently stroked the short beard on her forehead twice.
"Little insect girl, long time no see!"
The insect girl naturally couldn't recognize the middle-aged Duan Ming, but for some reason, she didn't feel the slightest disgust for the middle-aged man touching her short beard.
"Who is this?"
Middle-aged Duan Ming turned to look at Xiao Hong and asked Duan Ming.
"His name is Xiao Hong, the one who entered the virtual interstellar experience machine with us."
Hearing Duan Ming say this, middle-aged Duan Ming narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Xiao Hong.
"Are there any news about Ya Qing and Xiang Lu?"
"Some news has indeed been found, but things are very troublesome. They are now in a place where even if my Duan family tries its best, there is no way to bring them out."
According to the middle-aged Duan Ming's narration, Duan Ming knew the whereabouts of Tang Ya Qing and the other two girls.
It turned out that after coming to this world, Tang Ya Qing and the other two girls were lucky to appear in the same direction and met soon, but unfortunately, the place where they were was exactly the Earth Star in this world!
It was a coincidence that the two girls happened to meet the current supreme commander of the Earth Union in this world, the chairman of the Earth Union, and he was also the current president of the Superpower Alliance, the person who was "robbed" of the position of the young president by Duan Ming in the real world!
"You mean, Yaqing and Xianglu are now imprisoned in the Earth Star Earth Union headquarters, and they are favored by the chairman?"
Middle-aged Duan Ming nodded: "Yes, I have fought with him for twenty years, but I still lost to him in the end."
Duan Ming was thinking about how to rescue Tang Yaqing and the other two girls, and he also made a decision. When he returns to the real world, if he has the chance, he must kill this opponent who may become the chairman in the future!
"Xiaohong, are you sure you can rescue them from the layers of guards?"
"Yes, but I won't."
After so many days of contact, Duan Ming naturally knew that Xiaohong would never joke. If he said he would not save them, then he would not save them.
"Why?"
"Someone wants them dead."
After hearing what Xiaohong said, Duan Ming and the middle-aged Duan Ming looked at each other. Both of them smelled a hint of conspiracy from Xiaohong's words.
"The person who killed them is the same person who asked you to save me?"
Although it was a question, Duan Ming's tone was more like telling a fact.
Xiaohong didn't answer, which was an admission!
After thinking for a moment, Duan Ming's mouth corners slightly raised: "Did he say that between my life and their death, is there a priority?"
While speaking, Duan Ming raised his hand and used his superpowers to pull a fruit knife to his throat.
Xiaohong subconsciously wanted to dodge and grab the knife, but Duan Ming said first: "You can save me once, but you can't save me for a lifetime. I may never be your opponent, but if I want to die, no one in this world can stop me."
Xiaohong held her breath, as if weighing the pros and cons of Duan Ming's words, and after a long time, she finally said a word.
"Despicable, shameless!"
This was the first time that Xiaohong's tone of voice carried some emotion, and Duan Ming's smile flashed a sly look.
"Your evaluation of me is very accurate. So now, do you choose to let me die here, or help me save them?"
