“Are they all dead?” Zhou Chen, who was crushed into the ground by the shock wave, felt pain all over his body and his head was buzzing, but his mind was clear. He also was fully conscious and knew that he had only suffered some injuries from the shock wave.
His only concern was the others. They clearly did not have a powerful physique like his, and there was no chance of survival under such a terrifying strike.
After a few more seconds, the buzzing stopped and Zhou Chen immediately used Bloodthirst to sense his surroundings.
“There are two more who are still alive and in good condition?”
He was delighted. He dug out the soil, bricks, and various other heavy objects from his body and crawled out.
When he arrived outside, he saw that the camp was gray. Dust covered the sky, and the ground was so hot that it was not suitable for any carbon-based creature to survive.
However, Zhou Chen was an exception. Because he was enhanced by various defensive passive skills, he could endure such a harsh environment. He quickly walked in the direction he sensed earlier.
A few seconds later, he passed through the hot and gray air and arrived beside a light golden ball. This ball was translucent. When he approached, he could see that Li Guofu, Lucy, and the bespectacled girl were hiding inside.
“This shield can’t be opened! Think of a way to treat yourself first! I was about to call you in but you disappeared!”
Li Guofu was the first to see Zhou Chen walking over. He realized that Zhou Chen looked to be in a miserable state. His clothes were carbonized, and there were many burn marks on his body. It seemed like he wanted to enter this shield to hide, but once this shield was used, there was no way to open it.
“I’m alright. I don’t have to go in.” Zhou Chen, who looked to be in a miserable state, smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, Lucy also saw Zhou Chen. She punched the faint golden light shield in front of her and realized that this very thin thing did not even budge. She wanted to pull out her gun and shoot at this shield.
“Lucy, stop! I really don’t need the shield!” Zhou Chen knew that Lucy wanted to let him in, so he immediately stopped her.
He had even endured the terrifying shock wave and heat wave head-on without being seriously injured. Now, the subsequent damage from the high temperature was even less significant to him. He would recover soon with just his natural recovery speed.
“How long can your shield last?” Zhou Chen asked Li Guofu.
“There’s still about fifteen seconds. The explosion was too powerful and consumed most of its energy.”
“Fifteen seconds… The environment here will still be very dangerous for you. I’ll move you.” After saying that, Zhou Chen used his arms that were full of burn marks to lift the gradually fading shield and ran away from the explosion site.
Ten seconds later, he ran to a safer area with the shield and placed it on the ground.
After the shield was placed on the ground, it quickly dissipated like a shadow and disappeared without a trace. Li Guofu and the others stood on the ground.
“Drink this potion first.” The moment Li Guofu came out, he handed a bottle of potion to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen saw that the system had marked it as a mid-tier healing potion and took a sip.
After taking a sip of the potion, Zhou Chen immediately felt the pain in his body disappear quickly, and he felt much more comfortable. This was normal. Although he looked a little miserable, his injuries were not serious. With this mid-tier potion, he returned to normal in a few seconds.
“Change into this. It might be a little small for you, but there are still two ladies beside you.” Seeing that Zhou Chen’s body was quickly recovering, Li Guofu handed him a camouflage suit.
Zhou Chen also received it without hesitation. He shook off the residue of his carbonized clothes and changed into this camouflage suit.
While Zhou Chen was changing, Li Guofu looked at him and clicked his tongue in wonder, “Aren’t you too strong? You can even withstand a missile. I thought you were dead.”
“Nothing that exaggerated. I blew up that missile from afar, and was not directly hit by it.” Zhou Chen changed his clothes and corrected Li Guofu.
“That’s still quite amazing. Speaking of which, this Nete Tech really thinks highly of us. They actually used a missile to blow us up.” Li Guofu shook his head and sighed.
“Hehe, using a missile to attack such a small camp, it is their loss.” Zhou Chen was speechless. Missiles were not cheap. They were usually used to attack high-value targets, such as aircraft carriers. Who knew that Nete Tech would use such a powerful weapon to attack them?
“Glasses girl, do you sense other missiles coming?” Zhou Chen asked the silent bespectacled girl.
“Not yet…” The bespectacled girl replied slowly. She sounded depressed.
“Let’s leave quickly.” Li Guofu suggested. “I am guessing that they used a satellite to find us. It’s easier for us to evacuate now that the surrounding temperature is high.”
“Alright, let’s go.” Zhou Chen nodded.
“But the old man and the old woman are gone just like that. I didn’t even figure out the old man’s ability, and the little girl, Heidi. I can’t account for it when I see Hilda again…” He muttered with a heavy tone.
“My condolences. It’s already like this, there’s no point in thinking about this.” Li Guofu patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder. The four of them then chose a direction and left.
On the way, Zhou Chen chatted with the bespectacled girl. “Are you interested in joining us to take revenge on Nete Tech? They are also trying to kill you. As long as you cooperate with us, with our strength, we can make them pay the price.”
“I don’t want to fight. I just want to live well.” The bespectacled girl replied with a blank expression, somewhat resistant.
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to fight. Leave this kind of rough work to us. You can just do some support work.”
Zhou Chen felt that although this girl did not have any combat strength, her superpower was indeed powerful. She was a great talent for being able to sense the high-speed missile a long time in advance.
“Anyway, I don’t have the right to refuse. You can do whatever you want. I’ll cooperate well..” The girl replied woodenly without much thought.
