Chapter 86: Chapter 71 Repairs and Calls for Help

Li Yi was panting heavily, soaked in blood, looking at the huge human-bear more than three meters tall lying dead in front of him, his heart boiling with the intent to kill finally began to settle.

It was too hard to kill.

It wasn’t on the same level as the Biao he had faced before. If he hadn’t been wearing the Qiu Dragon Skin garment, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against this creature. At their first encounter, he would have been defeated. How could he possibly have killed it barehanded?

But no matter what, in the end, it was Li Yi who won, the Fierce Beast had fallen.

"Li Yi, how are you doing? Are you okay, should we call an ambulance?"

"Where are you hurt, how’s your shoulder? Is it still bleeding?"

At this time, Chen Hao immediately put down his sniper rifle and ran over, expressing his urgent concern. Seeing Li Yi covered in blood, he had an uneasy feeling, fearing that Li Yi would collapse just like the human-bear.

"I’m fine, I don’t think I’ve been seriously injured. The blood on me isn’t mine. I’ve confirmed just now that the beast is completely dead. The fight is over. Go check on He Xiong quickly, he’s been motionless this whole time, I’m afraid he might not make it," Li Yi gestured with his hand to show he was alright.

At this time, Zheng Gong had already rushed to the unconscious He Xiong’s side, checking him quickly, and immediately said, "He Xiong is not dead, he’s still breathing, but he’s seriously injured, his arm is almost broken, and his head also seems to have taken a severe blow. I suggest we get him to the hospital immediately."

Wang Jian, stumbling a bit now, came over and said, "Don’t rush, the danger has not yet been cleared. Chen Hao, immediately search the surroundings to see if the giant Spider-man’s traces are still there. If you find it, shoot on sight. Zheng Gong, you take care of guarding the perimeter. Li Yi, we owe you big time for this one, we would have all been goners without you. Can you still move?"

"No problem."

Li Yi moved his body, feeling muscle strains and some bruising here and there, but overall he was unscathed.

"Sorry, I’m injured and it’s a bit hard for me to move around. Can you carry He Xiong and that human-bear’s body to the car? The smell of blood here is too strong, we can’t stay here long; we need to leave this area quickly," Wang Jian, clutching his chest with a face covered in cold sweat, was obviously not in good shape.

After all, he didn’t have a garment made of Qiu Dragon Skin, and taking a blow from the human-bear was no easy feat.

"No big deal, as long as everyone is okay," Li Yi responded with a nod, not hesitating, he carefully picked up He Xiong and then placed him into the sidecar.

The human-bear’s corpse was a trophy from this mission and couldn’t be discarded, so he crammed it into the vehicle as well.

At this moment, Chen Hao, holding the sniper rifle, said solemnly, "The enormous Spider-man has vanished. There’s no sign of it on the nearby buildings. The noise from our fight must have startled it, so it fled."

"What a shame, we couldn’t take that shot in time to eliminate the threat. I have a feeling, that thing is going to cause a catastrophe," Wang Jian bit his lip, feeling he had missed a great opportunity.

He was just a second away from taking a shot to try and snipe the eerie Spider-man when a human-bear suddenly appeared out of nowhere. If it wasn’t for Li Yi, they would have ended up like mantises hunted by a sparrow.

"Wang Jian, it seems safe for now in the vicinity," Zheng Gong, responsible for guarding the surroundings, spoke up.

"Fierce Beasts have a sense of territory, usually in one area there won’t be two similar beasts emerging, but we still can’t skip necessary guards. The noise earlier was too loud, I’m worried it might attract something," Wang Jian took a deep breath, feeling his chest pain intensify.

If nothing went wrong, he probably had broken ribs, rendering him incapable of fighting or moving.

They had to retreat.

With this thought, Wang Jian spoke again, "Zheng Gong, you drive. We’re temporarily calling off this operation; we need to retreat and regroup first."

The others did not dissent, but simply nodded in agreement.

The mission started off badly and they could only return the way they had come.

Everyone quickly got into the vehicle, turned it around, and retreated along the same route they came by, without any hesitation or delay.

Inside the vehicle, the stench of blood was heavy, with scents from the Fierce Beast and He Xiongmixed.

The mood was very somber, and no one spoke a word.

Still, Wang Jian suddenly spoke up seriously, "Li Yi, I really want to thank you for this one. You saved all of us. If it hadn’t been for you, that human-bear would have surely killed us."

"Facing a Fierce Beast, nobody could avoid it. I just did what I could," Li Yi said. "We’re all teammates; it’s only right to help each other out."

"No, I saw everything you did. You were the first one to open the car door and dash out to draw the beast’s attention. Without your actions, we’d have had no chance to get out of the vehicle alive and would have been sitting ducks for that human-bear," Wang Jian continued earnestly.

"That’s true, Li Yi, you saved all our lives. I’m not going to spout any words of thanks now, but if there’s ever anything you need help with in the future, just ask, and I’ll be there, no refusal," Chen Hao also echoed, looking at Li Yi with eyes full of respect and gratitude.

They say that adversity reveals true friendship.

Only when faced with such dangers do you know who can be trusted, who to rely on.

And they were all very grateful to have a teammate like Li Yi.

"You’re being too polite. I only dared to take a risk because I was relying on this garment made from an Extraordinary Creature’s skin; it’s not as great as you make it sound," Li Yi said with a smile, humbly downplaying his courage.

Despite his humble words, the gratitude in the others’ hearts for Li Yi was undiminished.

At this moment, the driver Zheng Gong felt very ashamed and said, "I’m sorry, I haven’t been able to play any role and have been holding everyone back."

"Don’t talk like that. In the end, didn’t you also think about luring that Fierce Beast away by yourself to give everyone a chance to live? You did good too; it’s just that you need more experience and growth."

Wang Jian patted his shoulder, encouraging the newcomer not to be discouraged but to cheer up.

However, it was then that Wang Jian’s investigator phone rang again.

He picked it up and looked, and his expression suddenly changed.

"What happened?" Seeing his changed expression, Li Yi immediately asked.

"Something special happened at Captain Zhang’s end, and they need support," said Wang Jian, his face still looking terrible.

"Is it serious?" Li Yi frowned.

Wang Jian spoke in a low voice, "Captain Zhang Lei and quite a few of our colleagues entered a building while rounding up some Fierce Beasts, and then their whole group lost contact. Other investigators ventured in to look for them but ended up like the Captain. After entering that building, they disappeared too."

"The situation is somewhat strange. Now, the other investigators are all converging there, trying to initiate a rescue."

"Did they encounter an Extraordinary Creature?" Chen Hao followed up.

Wang Jian said, "It’s not clear. No sounds of fighting or evidence of Extraordinary Creatures were reported from the scene... The specifics will only be known once we get there. Although we are currently not capable of action, this matter has a significant impact, and I want to go have a look."

"Wang Jian, we can’t act in this condition. We should give up and leave it to our colleagues," Chen Hao advised.

"You’re right, in this condition we indeed aren’t fit to continue the mission," Wang Jian didn’t argue with Chen Hao but simply nodded in agreement.

"Actually, we aren’t completely incapable of action. If we send He Xiong to the hospital, we still have the ability to act. After all, the rest of us only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious," Li Yi spoke, then added, "The key is the extent of your injuries. If you can still move, and if you want to continue on the mission."

Wang Jian touched his chest and said, "I can barely move, but I can’t fight. Li Yi, you’re the strongest among us; what do you suggest?"

Li Yi shrugged and replied, "I’m just a worker. As long as there’s payment for the mission, that’s all I need. If we truly encounter a danger we can’t handle, my suggestion would still be to run. If you just want to go and check out the situation, I can accompany you."

Wang Jian fell into thought.

A moment later, he spoke again, "Let’s go to the training base. We’ll drop He Xiong there; someone will take him to the hospital. Then we’ll switch cars there, take a quick break, and head over to support Captain Zhang Lei. This time, I’m the one to blame, and I can only trouble you all to make another trip with me."

Having said this, he sincerely apologized to everyone.

The others voiced no objections, tacitly agreeing to continue the mission.

Because they had made arrangements in advance, several instructors with medical personnel were already waiting for them at the entrance when they turned back towards the training base.

As soon as the car stopped, individuals immediately came over to carry the injured He Xiong away, and a doctor also came to check Wang Jian’s injuries.

"You’ve broken three ribs, one of which almost penetrated your heart. Luckily it’s not too serious. I’ll use a bone congealing adhesive to quickly fix you up, but afterward, you can’t engage in strenuous movement or fight with anyone. If you do, your condition may worsen, and it would be very dangerous," the experienced doctor swiftly diagnosed Wang Jian and began treating him urgently.

"As long as I can move, that’s enough. Thank you, doctor," Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yi was in good physical shape at the moment, but he was covered in bloodstains. So, he found a fire hydrant nearby, turned it on, and began to rinse himself off.

With a shake of his body, the water was thrown off, and he became clean and dry.

"By the way, could you help me switch cars? Mine reeks of blood and is inconvenient for moving." Then, Wang Jian made another request to an instructor.

An instructor who recognized Wang Jian responded immediately, "Take my car and be careful."

"Thanks a lot," Wang Jian nodded in thanks.

The group didn’t linger, and after a brief rest, they switched cars and prepared to set off again.

Li Yi was also ready to move when the doctor who had previously examined Wang Jian suddenly came over and stealthily slipped a small bottle of liquid into Li Yi’s hand.

Li Yi was somewhat surprised and puzzled since he didn’t know the doctor.

But the doctor spoke in a hushed voice, "It’s very good for the body... Military grade."

Clearly, the doctor had noticed Li Yi’s pivotal role during the short respite in subduing the man-bear and saving a carload of people. He wanted to offer Li Yi some help within his capabilities.

Even though the doctor spoke softly, most of the people present were Cultivators and could hear everything. However, everyone acted as if they had heard nothing.

"Thanks," Li Yi said, gratefully accepting the bottle of liquid.
