CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 17: THE DRAMA QUEEN SISTER REFUSES TO BE CANNON FODDER (PART 17)

Jiang Lai grabbed her at that moment.

"Don’t blame me for not warning you, you almost stepped out of the barrier just now. No need to thank me, it’s the right thing to do."

"..."

Gu Han Yan couldn’t shake off Jiang Lai’s hand. She screamed and shouted, always instantly attracting everyone’s attention, which made it impossible for her to sneak out while the smoke was thick.

Time was running out, Gu Han Yan looked coldly at Jiang Lai once, and amid the sound of collapsing beams, she softly said.

"Annoying thing."

After saying that, she reached out and forcefully pushed Jiang Lai outside, which was much easier than expected. Stumbling, Jiang Lai was pushed away, accompanied by a scream, she shouted.

"Gu Han Yan, why did you push me!"

Following that, the sound abruptly and urgently disappeared, Jiang Lai’s figure quickly vanished from everyone’s sight, even Gu Han Yan didn’t have time to react to what happened, Jiang Lai was gone.

"Jiang Lai?"

Jiang Chao shouted anxiously.

"Jiang Lai?!"

The response to him was the continuous loud collapse above and faint tremors underfoot.

"Captain, why does it feel like the ground under my feet is shaking?"

Jiang Chao’s face stiffened, after carefully feeling it, he cursed softly.

"Leave here quickly, it might be an earthquake!"

Gu Han Yan couldn’t care less. Taking advantage of their distraction, she also left the barrier and crawled into the narrow entrance.

Here, she could distinctly feel the ground trembling, as if a giant dragon was rolling underground, giving them hardly any time to react. Accompanied by blazing flames, the village originally engulfed in fire suddenly sank completely, the massive noise attracted nearby zombies, gathering them into a significant zombie horde.

Some people standing outside weren’t spared either, as the ground collapsed, they slipped inside with unsteady footing. In the face of natural disasters, superpower appeared extremely weak, and in an instant, nearly half of the people were swallowed up while some quick responders had already transported themselves to a distant spot.

Meanwhile, about ten meters underground, Jiang Lai felt bored with crawling down slowly, so she started a free-fall movement, immersed in the rising Death Value ringing beside her ears.

"Death Value: +15

Death Value: +11

Death Value: +100."

Jiang Lai was shocked by the skyrocketing Death Value.

What did she do?

"Gu Han Yan noticed you came down as well, now all she wants is to kill you. Getting a cannon fodder to this point is not easy, be careful of the heroine’s heavy killing intent, don’t die."

A cannon fodder’s luck can’t compare to the heroine.

They’d die just like that, cheaper than an ant’s life.

Listening to the increasingly high Death Value, Jiang Lai felt more and more ecstatic, she even stopped to glare at Gu Han Yan briefly, waiting for the Death Value to spike again before continuing to dig down.

The crack of the collapsing ground quickly caught up, Jiang Lai relied on her spiritual power to block the stones constantly being hurled towards her head, watching the cave in front grow larger in the pitch-black underground. Finally able to stand and sprint, Gu Han Yan’s footsteps followed closely behind, worthy of a heroine, even her speed was notably faster.

But Jiang Lai was unscrupulous, she turned back and flicked the wall behind her, the next second the wall collapsed, blocking the path, Gu Han Yan cursed aloud, meanwhile Jiang Lai didn’t forget to give her a villainous evil smile.

Sure enough, the Death Value rose again.

After her relentless efforts, the current Death Value was nearly a thousand.

Finally, at the end of the underground tunnel, Jiang Lai saw a door, tightly closed as if waiting for the right person to arrive.

The Detection Pen in her hand fiercely alarmed, Jiang Lai felt around the door but couldn’t find a switch, using her special skill "One Finger Flick" only caused some plaster to fall.

"This door isn’t meant for you, of course, you can’t find the switch."

Does a mere broken door even need to discriminate?

Seeing Gu Han Yan almost caught up from behind, stones were falling with a crash from above, Jiang Lai kicked and pushed at the door when, amid Little Buding’s cursed mocking, she caught her breath and her finger touched the Detection Pen Lin Yan had given her, then curled her lips into a smile.

"I’m damned if I don’t show you how a cannon fodder opens this door."

With that, she pulled out the Detection Pen and unhesitatingly threw it towards the huge door, immediately opening her Spiritual Protection Shield to hide far away.

The next second, accompanied by a deafening explosion, stones above that were already falling suddenly collapsed, Jiang Lai, with her head full of huge rocks that could crush her anytime, struggled with her last bit of spiritual power to protect herself and enter the blasted stone door.

Upon entering the door, she immediately saw the dazzling Superpower Crystal embedded in the wall, Jiang Lai walked up to it and examined it closely, like a large diamond.

She didn’t rush to touch it, purposely waiting for Gu Han Yan to rush in desperately and impatiently, then under her eyes almost spitting fire, she slowly reached out to the crystal.

"Don’t touch!!"

Gu Han Yan hollered.

Jiang Lai had already removed the crystal.

"What’s this? If there wasn’t an apocalypse, it should be worth quite a bit."

In the next second, a peculiar and bizarre feeling swept through her body, feeling as if something wanted to overflow from her ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouth, her entire body enveloped in scorching heat, it seemed like something was flowing from under her nose.

Jiang Lai reached out and touched it — blood.

Looking again at Gu Han Yan, she appeared as if most of her life force had been drained, eyes filled with despair and unwillingness, her furious gaze seemed to turn into a fierce beast ready to tear Jiang Lai into pieces.

Jiang Lai wiped the nosebleed, tangibly feeling the surging power within her body, she opened her mouth, the overflow was all energy her body couldn’t digest.

"You want it? Then here, a broken stone is worthless, I thought you snuck down for some treasure."

With that, Jiang Lai tossed the crystal to Gu Han Yan.

Gu Han Yan hurriedly caught it, but no matter how she touched it, she couldn’t feel a bit of energy anymore.

"Jiang Lai!!"

She gritted her teeth, looking at Jiang Lai with eyes almost blazing with fire.

Jiang Lai, hands on her hips, looked at her indifferently.

"Why yell so loud? Aren’t you running? This place is about to collapse."

If you don’t run, you’re a fool, seeing the direction where the stones above are falling has a faint light, Jiang Lai disregarded everything and started climbing up, Gu Han Yan hurried after.

The next second, Jiang Lai felt something seemingly wrapping around her foot, dragging her down. Looking down, her ankle was indeed entangled with a vine, and at the end of the vine, was Gu Han Yan.

Oh good, she’s got quite a few superpowers too, and there’s a deeply concealed Plant System Superpower here.
