Chapter 114: Chapter 89: Unlocking a New DLC_2
Leaving behind a word, Gu Ji plunged headfirst into the hole, desperately beginning to dig through the earth.
A large amount of soil fell on his face, seeping through the corners of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, making him extremely uncomfortable. But what’s more terrifying was the overwhelming sense of pressure and suffocation.
Fortunately, he had already adapted to a similar environment underwater in advance.
Struggling to calm his nerves, Gu Ji spat out the dirt at the corner of his mouth and took small breaths, continuing upwards, until soon his entire head, along with his upper body, was buried in the soil.
The intense pressure on his chest made even basic breathing incredibly difficult.
At this moment, the oil smeared on Gu Ji’s body came into play.
He no longer faced the soil head-on but squirmed left and right like a worm. With the lubrication from the oil and the loose soil quality, his body gradually regained space, and as the soil sank, his head constantly moved upward.
Finally, with Gu Ji’s last reach upwards to probe.
Huff...
Feeling the resistance disappear, a stream of air instantly brushed between his fingers. Had he reached the surface?
Gu Ji’s face filled with joy, continuing to wriggle his body, he forcefully poked his face out.
"Huff ha... Huff ha..."
He greedily gulped in the fresh air, not even minding the dust choking his throat.
Finally out!
Gu Ji wiped the dirt off his face, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
It was already past midnight in Northern Myanmar, and the night sky was as deep as a black hole. He found himself in a massive crater, surrounded by soil and gravel.
Not far away, a rumbling sound came, seemingly from an excavator.
Nearby, quite a few soldiers in camouflage uniforms were using flashlights and shovels to dig the soil manually.
"Turns out we weren’t left for dead; they just dug in the wrong direction."
It was probably due to the movement of the building position, and the rescuers could not locate it.
Whether it was the warlords or people from the Bai Family...
Gu Ji decided not to draw attention for the time being. He forcefully dug himself out from the pile of dirt, found shelter behind a massive rock, and quickly tugged on the rope.
Feeling the resisting pull, he knew that those below had received his signal.
Shortly after, as the soil loosened, an equally nude Bai Maoliang, with a dirt-covered face, crawled out from inside.
"Huff ha... The heavens haven’t abandoned the Bai Family, hahaha!"
"Mr. Bai, lower your voice. There are soldiers nearby, we don’t know whose men they are!"
Gu Ji quietly reminded him, and Bai Maoliang quickly zipped his lips, squinting to take a closer look at the distant troops, his face immediately replaced with excitement.
"It’s my son! Mingliang! Mingliang!!"
The shouts were nearly drowned out by the excavator, but some soldiers still noticed and shone their flashlights over.
Moments later, the troops jogged over and surrounded the two of them.
One of them, a tall and lanky young man with yellow hair, who bore some resemblance to Bai Maoliang in his brows, immediately rushed forward.
"Dad!"
Father and son embraced and wept, with Bai Maoliang briefly recounting the situation underground to his son Bai Mingliang.
"That old bastard Huang Qiyu, tomorrow I’ll take people to wipe out his 1006th regiment, and that bastard Shao Liang, our Bai Family spent so much money on him..."
Bai Mingliang gritted his teeth, cursing word by word.
But before he could finish, he was silenced by Bai Maoliang’s gaze.
Only then did he notice the unfamiliar Gu Ji beside him.
"Dad, where’s Uncle Six? This is..."
"This is your Brother Wa. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have survived!"
Bai Maoliang made sure to introduce Gu Ji.
His son heard that Gu Ji had only brought two people, not only escaped the encirclement of Dahai and his desperados but also killed them all, and was momentarily shocked.
"Well done! Brother Wa, you saved my father; from now on, you’re my elder brother Bai Mingliang!"
"I don’t dare."
Gu Ji appeared respectful but deeply remembered Mr. Shao’s name in his heart.
With the troops’ help, Uncle Six and the company executives also climbed out along the safety rope, followed by Kai, Chaojun, these group thugs, and Pan Xinli.
When it was time for the employees.
Bai Maoliang’s eyes moved with intent, just about to have his men bury them alive, indicating he still wasn’t going to let those traitors go.
Gu Ji’s final task was not yet complete.
He hastily stopped Bai Maoliang, using "the company needs manpower" as a reason, and gradually let several more people out.
But as the underground water level rose too fast, only less than 70 people crawled out, and the rest were drowned beneath.
[Final goal: Escape Jinyuan Building, successfully rescue 50 civilians!]
Upon hearing the system prompt sound, Gu Ji glanced at the dimming rescue progress bar in the lower-left corner, instinctively recalling the name of this level:
Underground World.
The subsided Jinyuan Building, dark and devoid of sunshine, filled with blood and violence, where the evil and greed of human nature were vividly demonstrated underground;
But after reaching the surface, does darkness truly disappear, and the world become filled with light?
He looked up, at the sky, as if a black hole.
Perhaps in a place like Northern Myanmar, light itself is a luxury.
...
The escaped Bai Maoliang indeed had a backup plan. He swiftly rallied all the ground forces, found a manor, settled everyone down, and then began directing the troops and henchmen, preparing for revenge against the warlords.
This was destined not to be a peaceful night.
However, Gu Ji was no longer interested in these matters; he borrowed a phone from Chaojun and started checking the Volut’s official website.
Among the portable smart medical wearable products, Gu Ji finally found the product Jian Na was wearing: the Volut Smart Blood Glucose Monitoring Bracelet 4th Generation.
