Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"Brother Anton! We can't hold on any longer!" A tall Xiong Xiren swung the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed a Thunder Spider's corpse, shouting breathlessly, "The concentration of ether here is too high. If we stay here any longer, we'll all be corroded before we can get rescued."

Why don't I block it for a while? You lead your brothers to retreat and find a way out!"

"Ah! Take my move—"

"Brother, don't be so discouraged!" Anton activated his electric drill and slammed into the core of an Izhai. A blue-white arc of electricity danced and detonated the core, leaving only shattered ether crystals to fall to the ground. He successfully destroyed the Izhai. "Brother Dali will notify the president. Hold on a little longer! Abandoning your brothers and running away is not a manly thing to do!"

"Anton's right! Hold on a little longer!" Another Xiongxi, carrying a heavy steel plate as a shield, echoed loudly, "Besides, we've been trying to avoid that 'Armored Hati', and we don't know how deep we've fallen into the cave. If we just try our luck and wander around, no one will get out! We have to hold on!"

Hiding in a relatively safe position behind a few people, a worker who looked like a technician and threw grenades at the gathering place of the Illegal Creatures was wearing heavy protective clothing. He said to Anton anxiously, "I don't have many explosive devices prepared by Grace! And the Illegal Creatures nearby have been attracted by the sound of fighting. Think of a way quickly! Even if we can't get out, we can't stay here any longer!!!"

"Which way to go..." Anton turned around and kicked away an attempted sneak attack from Yi Hai, breathing heavily as he leaned on the power drill. He wiped the sweat running down his cheek, frowning as he surveyed his surroundings, unable to find the correct route to evacuate.

The people from Baizhi Heavy Industry have been fighting, fleeing and fighting non-stop since they got into danger, and their physical energy has been greatly depleted.

If most of them were not strong people like Xiong Xiren and Anton himself who had been doing muscle training for many years, ordinary technical staff would have given up long ago.

For example, the guy who is throwing the grenade with trembling legs and gasping for breath now, was able to escape being left behind only because his companions stayed with him and carried him on their shoulders while he was running during the transfer.

"Jeff, be careful!!!"

A bear-like creature jumped out from the blind spot behind the side, cunningly bypassed several main combatants, and pounced on technician Jeff, who was moving slowly due to exhaustion and heavy protective clothing.

"What?! Ah!!!" Jeff only had time to avoid being hit on the head before the beast-like skeleton bit him on the shoulder and dragged him away from the protective circle of his companions.

"Jeff!!!" Anton roared, raising his weapon and rushing to rescue them, but was blocked by the corpses that emerged from the rubble one after another. He could only watch helplessly as his companions were dragged further and further away.

"Help!" Jeff screamed and kept attacking Yi Hai's head with the hand that was not bitten. Unfortunately, the strength of an ordinary human was not enough to make Yi Hai open his mouth. Instead, Yi Hai shook his head because of the attack and harassment, which caused Jeff even greater pain.

Just as Jeff's vision was turning black with pain, and he thought his life was about to end today, a short, dark figure flashed into his sight. It was so fast that Jeff thought he was hallucinating. In the blink of an eye, the black hem of the dress filled his field of vision.

The sharp steel bar pierced the core of the skull of the mortal who was biting Jeff, and the mortal screamed and dissipated into shattered ether crystals. Jeff, covered with cold sweat, lay on the ground in a daze, looking up at the black figure who had saved him.

The angle of lying on his back allowed Jeff to easily see his benefactor's young face under the hood.

It looks like a child who probably didn't grow up in their community, how could he go so deep into the void?

Are the kids these days really that talented? I feel like I'm old but can't do anything.

Jeff was in a state of confusion due to the pain in his wound and blood loss. He was thinking about irrelevant things and suddenly couldn't believe that he was saved.

"Can I still get up?" Bai Yu didn't know that in just a few minutes, the person he saved had gone from lamenting his age to doubting the meaning of his life.

He leaned over and tapped Jeff's hood to get him to focus. Seeing a muffled response coming from under the protective mask, he ignored him since he was still conscious.

Bai Yu grabbed the tool bag from Jeff's waist, took out all of Jeff's remaining grenades from the bag, and put them in his own pocket.

"Wait! Little brother, I can't give you that...

...Use with care, switch on the top. Hold it down for five seconds and throw it. It will explode after three seconds." Before Jeff could finish his words of dissuasion, Bai Yu's cold and sharp gaze forced him to change to teaching how to use a grenade.

Jeff finished speaking in a low voice, then he heard his benefactor on the other side say, "If you can still move, get up and run slowly to the left.

I'll go get your companions and catch up with you soon. Don't worry, there are no remains over there."

After saying that, without waiting for Jeff's response, Bai Yu picked up the steel bar and ran to another battle field.

Jeff staggered to his feet and glanced at his companions' fighting situation. Seeing that the situation had improved somewhat since his benefactor joined the battlefield, he no longer hesitated. Clutching his injured shoulder, he dragged his heavy feet and limped towards the safe route pointed out by Bai Yu.

Anton and others, who were originally blocked from the rescue by the sea, were fighting hard in anxiety, but no matter how hard they pushed their exhausted bodies, they could not immediately deal with the enemy in front of them.

Anton and his companions were filled with grief and indignation, but were helplessly prepared to face the death of their companion. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events, and Jeff was rescued in the blink of an eye.

The sudden arrival of rescuers truly lifted the spirits of Anton and the others. Even though the rescuer was alone and small in stature, it couldn't dampen their excitement for the time being.

Bai Yu quickly joined the battle. He jumped high on Yi Hai's back, raised the steel bar, and used the weight of the fall to smash the core of a charged thunder spider.

"Everyone follow me! I'll take you out and meet up with the rescuers!!"

"Brothers! Rescue is here!! Let's work harder!! Don't fight any longer, prepare to retreat!" When Anton heard Bai Yu's words, he immediately shouted to his companions around him to gather together and prepare to evacuate.

"Come here! Run to the left!" Bai Yu took out a grenade and threw it according to the instruction at a broken wall behind Anton and others who were evacuating in the safe direction he said.

The collapsed wall successfully buried the remains of several of the enemies chasing them, relieving everyone's pressure.

"Little brother, run!" Anton, who passed by Bai Yu, reached out and picked up a small white feather without saying a word, carrying it and ran away, without even giving Bai Yu a chance to refuse.

At this time, struggling would only hinder Anton's escape speed. Bai Yu had no choice but to stretch out one hand to hold Anton's neck to stabilize his body, and with the other hand, continue to throw grenades behind them according to the system's instructions.

With the help of the grenade, they managed to distance themselves from the group of slain, catching up with Jeff, who had already taken the lead. One of the Xiongxi people threw away the steel plate in his hand, skillfully picked up Jeff and continued to flee without wasting a second.

Finally, at the end of the road, Bai Yu led several people from Baizhi Heavy Industry to jump into the hollow rift. Before entering the rift, Bai Yu detonated all the grenades he had found in his pockets, causing ether energy fluctuations near the hollow rift, destroying the rift and cutting off the possibility of Yi Hai following into the rift, successfully escaping pursuit.
