Chapter 223 Return
Although Ge Dalong immediately used all his life-saving means, the explosion was all-round and multi-stage, and even the water wall and ice armor could not spare him. Coupled with the fact that he is a little crispy, there will definitely be no good results if he forcefully eats an explosion.
As for Zhao Feng, he had been injured many times before, and this explosion was the last straw that broke the camel's back for his overloaded body.
Zhang Shi tried to call the two of them, but unfortunately there was no response from them. It was obvious that they were seriously injured this time and the situation became critical.
Zhang Shi cheered up and rested for a while. During this period, he also added some food and water. Apart from feeling sore all over, his physical condition was better and at least he had the strength to walk.
He knew that the situation was critical at this time, and his two partners were seriously injured. As the only combat force that could still move, he could not sit still and wait for death.
Zhang Shi saved up his energy and observed the surrounding environment. He found that this was a cave. The cave was well ventilated and should be connected to the outside world. Zhang Shi then groped in the direction of the air outlet, and the journey went surprisingly smoothly. Within a few minutes, he successfully found the entrance of the cave and discovered a dazzling light at the entrance.
"Sunlight!"
Zhang Shi suddenly became excited. Ever since he entered the City of Fog, he had not seen a trace of sunlight for several days. It is self-evident what this sudden appearance of sunlight means.
Sure enough, the moment Zhang Shi walked out of the cave, the watch on his wrist began to shake crazily. Zhang Shi clicked on the system to check, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the watch had restored its communication function. His private chat interface had long been blocked. It was a big hit, with Wang Wu, Cai Qing, Mao Tai and others sending the most private messages. Even Chen Baomu sent a lot of messages asking about the situation. Apparently, a lot happened in the past few days since they disappeared.
Zhang Shi guessed that this cave was the dividing line of shielding ability, and immediately returned to the cave, preparing to take Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong out of the cave. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng had already woken up first and was rubbing his arms with a grin on his face. It seemed that the explosion had also seriously injured him.
"Shitou, where is this? Where is Huo Xiuxiu? What is going on?"
Zhang Shi shook his head and expressed his inference.
"We may have been tricked by Huo Xiuxiu."
In fact, Zhang Shi had been suspicious since Huo Xiuxiu was able to control the three monsters. When Huo Xiuxiu was able to sense the monster's location through the air, Zhang Shi was already wary. Especially at the last moment, the three-headed monster exploded under control. No one would believe it if they said it was not evil.
After hearing this, Zhao Feng still had doubts in his heart.
"Then why did she do this? Can't she just kill us? Why bother? And after the explosion, she must have taken action to send us here. What is the reason for her doing this?"
Zhang Shi didn't want to tell the deeper inferences, so he could only stop there and told Zhao Feng about the situation outside. When Zhao Feng heard that he was finally able to evacuate safely, he immediately stood up and endured the pain, supporting Ge Dalong with Zhang Shi. Walked out of the cave.
When he was about to evacuate, Zhao Feng raised his hand and looked at Zhang Shi.
"We just left like this. Wu Qing's whereabouts are still unknown. This departure is likely to..."
Zhang Shi pressed down Zhao Feng's raised arm and said slowly.
"Don't worry about her, she should be fine."
…
In a flash of white light, the three of them returned to the island. As soon as they appeared, they were discovered by the soldiers, who immediately surrounded them and sent the injured people to the medical room. Not long after, Lao Bai, Xiao Mei, Mao Tai, Cai Qing and others all arrived one after another. They saw that Zhang Shi and others looked embarrassed, and there was one less person back from this operation, so no one could speak first. Ask about the situation.
Zhang Shi took off his armor, and the supporting soldiers on the side carefully treated his wounds. At this time, Zhang Shi finally relaxed and then asked actively.
"Is everything okay on the island?"
Lao Bai stood up and answered straightforwardly.
"Reporting to the lord, during the ten days you were away, Chen Baomu rebelled and cut off the waterway around the island. He also sent people to wander around the island and come to the island to harass him from time to time."
Zhang Shi frowned when he heard what Lao Bai said. He didn't expect Chen Baomu to be unable to hide himself so quickly. He had only left for a few days and his fox tail was exposed. It's just that Lao Bai just said that he had been away for ten days...
"What did you just say, how many days have I been gone?"
Lao Bai hesitated for a moment, and then accurately calculated the time when Zhang Shi and others left. After confirming that it was correct, he answered again.
"Reporting to the lord, you have been away for a total of ten days, three hours, fifteen minutes and twelve seconds. It is now thirteen seconds, fourteen seconds..."
Zhang Shi stretched out his hand to interrupt, and then took a look at the reactions of others. After confirming that it was correct, he accepted the result.
"It seems that time in the foggy area is not consistent with reality. In my memory, it only lasted three days from departure to evacuation."
After regaining consciousness, Zhang Shigang wanted to inquire further about the situation on the island. Suddenly, a sound of artillery shelling came from the north shore, and the expressions of everyone present changed.
Zhang Shi looked at Lao Bai, and Lao Bai explained.
"Due to enemy harassment, Zhang Dazhuang has been leading troops to guard the north bank. There will be artillery bombardment. I guess the enemy is launching a massive attack."
Sure enough, the next second, a soldier hurried in and brought the news that Chen Baomu was leading a large-scale attack. Zhang Shi stood up immediately, his face as gloomy as water.
"I came at the right time. I haven't shown up for a few days, and someone dares to ride on my head and act wild. This time I am just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Let's see who dares to take advantage of the island."
Zhang Shi quickly put on his armor, with a determined killing intent in his eyes. He turned to look at Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong. At this time, Ge Dalong also woke up and heard everything. Although the two men were seriously injured, their eyes were still burning with fighting spirit.
"Brothers, we have just come back from the gate of hell. We can't swallow this breath like this. This villain Chen Baomu is making trouble while I'm not around. Today is the day he will die!" Zhang Shi tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand, and the weapon was in his hand. It buzzed, as if it also felt the owner's anger.
Lao Bai was also infected by Zhang Shi's aura, "Lord, our soldiers are ready, just waiting for your order to fight this traitor to the death!"
Zhang Shi forced Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong to recover from their injuries, and then strode out of the medical room with the others. The sun was dazzling outside, as if adding a bit of tension to the upcoming battle. On the north shore of the island, gunpowder smoke has begun to fill the air, and shouts of death can be heard faintly. Zhang Shi led everyone quickly towards the north bank. Along the way, he secretly thought about Chen Baomu's troop deployment and possible tactics.
"Since Chen Baomu dared to cut off the waterway and attack again, he must have come prepared, but he never expected that we would come back at this time." Zhang Shi said in a low voice to the people around him.
Mao Tai nodded slightly, "Well, we have to take advantage of this and catch him off guard. However, we also have to be careful about what back-ups he has."
