Even Rimi, who was still far away, could not withstand such strong winds and waves. In the blink of an eye, she was blown to the ground and rolled along the tunnel for dozens of meters before she managed to hold on to the railroad track.

Looking down at the huge deep pit in front of him, Jeldons chuckled with satisfaction, then disappeared into the hot white mist.

"Brother Li Yao..." Rimi got up and ran towards the center of the explosion without even bothering to brush off the dust, "Brother Li Yao! Li Yao! Where are you! Say something!!"

With a confused and anxious look in her eyes, Rimi wandered through the devastated shelter, searching for the figure she was desperate to find among the giant ant's remains.

"How could this happen... You're not dead, are you... You must still be alive, right?"

Rimi's steps gradually slowed down, and finally she stopped with her head down among the corpses of countless giant ants.

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and tears as big as beans slid down her cheeks. Then she shouted loudly:

"Li Yao! Where are you?!"

rustle--

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the rubble nearby.

Rustle——Hua

A hand stretched out from the rubble, and Rimi's pupils shrank suddenly. She recognized that the sleeve belonged to Li Yao!

"Li Yao!"

She rushed forward, desperately pushing away the surrounding gravel and dust, and finally pulled the "freshly unearthed" Li Yao out.

Cough!

Li Yao spat out the sand and stones in his mouth and breathed in big gulps of fresh air. Although the air in the shelter was not fresh, it was much better than being buried underground.

He narrowed his eyes and forced a smile, looking at Rimi with a tired expression.

"Hehe, sorry, I've run out of bullets and can't buy you much time—"

Suddenly, Li Yao's body trembled, and he felt a warm object suddenly fall into his arms.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Mei had thrown herself into his arms, her arms tightly around Li Yao, refusing to let go, and she murmured:

"That's great, you're still alive, that's really great."

Li Yao was slightly startled, the golden light in his eyes belonging to Jeldons gradually dimmed, and the human's black eyes rose again.

He was stunned for a moment, then gently stroked Rimi's hair and smiled:

"Well, I'm still alive."

……

In the tunnel, Li Yao and Rimi moved a large number of refugees back to their camp.

At this moment, Li Yao was glad that he had restrained his strength, otherwise [Photon Stream] would definitely blow up the entire subway station, the surface, and Rimi and the others!

"By the way, Li Yao, Bai Chuan..."

“He stood up for what he believed in until the very end.”

"I see. Perhaps this is a kind of relief for him."

Li Yao nodded to Rimi's words.

Talking too much about heavy topics is not good for the body and mind, especially in this apocalyptic world. Rimi quickly changed the subject and smiled:

"By the way, who was that Ultraman-like guy just now? An alien? Definitely an alien! And I have a feeling I've seen him somewhere before..."

Hearing this, Li Yao's shoulders trembled, and his voice became a little electronic.

"Uh, yeah, where have I seen it before? But it saved me, so it shouldn't be an enemy."

"Z..."

Li Yao: My heart is dead, don’t cry.

Rimi suddenly called out "Z" out of the blue, and Li Yao was so scared that all the colors flew away, leaving only black and white lines.

"I feel like that alien is a bit like Monster Z, and hasn't Z changed its appearance twice? Maybe that alien is the new form of Z!"

“Ahahahahaha… maybe…”

Li Yao was extremely panicked now, and kept signaling "Save me" in his mind. If Dagu and the others were around at this time, they would be able to help him smooth things over.

Thinking of this, a tear of "dare not move" shed from his heart: Dagu, save me!

Da Gu: A-choo!

On the way, the two were worried that the swarm of insects would dig tunnels and collect tolls like before. But this time it was okay. Relying on the subway map they got from Shirakawa's men, they led the team to avoid the high-risk areas and finally returned to the camp safely after a long journey.

The people in the shelter were also very happy about Li Yao and Rimi's safe return.

But when Takeuchi, who came to greet him, saw the dense crowd of people following him, his heart finally died.

……

Chapter 187: Safe Journey

After calling Li Yao and Rimi to the militia's office, Takeuchi held his forehead with a frown on his face.

"You two, the purpose of sending you out this time is to confirm the situation between the shelters, and at the same time notify those insects that have invaded the underground."

"But now please explain."

"How come you can bring back nearly 600 people after going out!!!"

Takeuchi's roar was as loud as a hurricane, almost causing Li Yao and the other man to fall over.

However, his anger was not unexpected. There were already nearly a thousand people gathered on this platform. Material consumption, living space, and other factors were already very important, but Li Yao and his team brought back hundreds of people.

This made the already financially strapped family even worse off.

But Li Yao had his own ideas. From the very beginning, he had no intention of just sitting there and waiting to die in the underground shelter. His ultimate goal was to gather all the refugees he could, and then rush out of Nara and return to Colonel Fuji's camp.

He patted his collar, interlocked his fingers and let them hang naturally between his legs, and leaned forward slightly towards Takeuchi and said:

"Captain Takeuchi, this is exactly what I wanted to explain to you."

"The underground is no longer safe. Shirakawa's shelter has been attacked by a swarm of insects. They broke through the walls and floors and poured in from all directions. No shelter can withstand such an attack."

After hearing this, Takeuchi was shocked and murmured, "That Shirakawa is gone."

Seeing the effect, Li Yao continued:

"It's only a matter of time before we abandon the underground shelter... No, it's something that must be decided as soon as possible. The speed at which the bugs spread is beyond our imagination, so we must complete the relevant work and preparations as soon as possible and avoid the danger before it arrives."

Takeuchi nodded to Li Yao's words. It's not that he hadn't considered this matter, but there was one very important point -

"How to escape and where to escape to?"

Takeuchi stared at Li Yao with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"I mentioned before that I belong to the EDF. In fact, there is a natural valley cave area about 45 kilometers away from the outskirts of Nara. I went there before and a special brigade of the EDF was stationed there." Li Yao pointed at the map. "If we go there, on the one hand, we can get protection from the regular army, and the refugees will definitely agree. On the other hand, the EDF has suffered a lot of casualties in the war, so this unit will be happy to accept and take in willing refugees to expand its strength."

Listening to Li Yao's explanation, Takeuchi nodded repeatedly, while Rimi looked at the "little brother" beside her with eyes wide open in surprise.

She didn't expect that Li Yao was small but ambitious (referring to his age).

After thinking about it, it was not difficult to see from Takeuchi's relaxed expression that he agreed to this proposal, but then he spoke again:

"The last question is, how do we escape? There are almost only alien troops outside. Even if we sneak to the edge of the city, the bipedal robots stationed there will definitely not be able to detect such a large group of people."

Takeuchi was right. Unlike the Hector on guard in the urban area, the Hector on patrol in the suburbs was operating almost 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from escaping from here.

The reason why Li Yao was able to sneak in before was that he was alone and that he was a powerful Gerdons.

If the refugees were divided into small groups and evacuated in batches, they might be able to avoid Hector's patrol, but this would take too much time, and the bugs underground would not give them so much time.

So Li Yao didn't plan to leave quietly from the beginning. He slammed the table, pointed at the map and began to explain his plan.

"Here! There is a large passenger station not far from this shelter. The buses parked inside should be enough for us to use. We just need to bring the refugees here and put them on the bus. Then the militia members will survey the route in advance to avoid Hector who is on standby, and then drive out from the place where drone patrols are less frequent."

"But even if everything goes smoothly, Hector on the outskirts of the city will definitely find us in the end."

Snapped!

Li Yao picked up a marking nail and stuck it into the exit of another city more than ten kilometers away from the refugee evacuation route.

"In that case, let's just let it go! We will show up and launch a feint attack here ten minutes before the refugees arrive at the outskirts of the city. This will attract nearby enemies to gather here, giving the refugees a chance to escape from Nara."

Takeuchi and Satomi were silent.

Although the plan was highly feasible, the final link, plus the ten minutes of feint attack in advance and at least half an hour for the refugees to evacuate, meant that it would take nearly an hour to fight those monsters, which was tantamount to asking people to die.

Would anyone really volunteer for this task?

"Captain Takeuchi, as the one who proposed the plan, please allow me to participate in the final feint attack."

"Eh?!"

Takeuchi and Satomi screamed on the spot.

If it was the idea king in the militia team before, as the person who proposed the plan, he would definitely keep me away in the end, after all, they knew the danger of their plan.

But this was the first time he had seen someone like Li Yao volunteer right away.

But there are some things that only Li Yao himself knows.

It seems that she has a deep hatred for him. The woman who calls herself Christina will probably not miss such a good opportunity. If Li Yao stays in the refugee evacuation team, then Christina's appearance will definitely cause heavy losses to the team, which will run counter to the purpose.

On the contrary, they could use this to lure Kritina to the feint attack team. With her ability to control the "Star Guide" army, she would definitely gather nearby enemies here to destroy Li Yao, which would be a great help to them.

If this is the case, the feint attack team will definitely suffer heavy casualties or even be wiped out...

Moreover, it is very likely that Kritina has figured out the purpose of Li Yao and others. What if she turns around and deliberately attacks the refugee team?

There are still uncertainties in this plan, but considering Kritina's twisted and angry look at the time, Li Yao is determined to go all in!

You bet that Kritina will make eliminating him her top priority!

Then as soon as she shows up, Li Yao will immediately "greet" her and start a mental attack to forcibly detain her.

Although Takeuchi was a little uneasy, this was the most feasible proposal at the moment.

Several people in the office discussed for a long time. During this time, the leaders of each team were coming in and out. Tai Xing, who had been watching from outside, seemed to understand that something big was about to happen.

After a night of discussion, the originally empty map had already been filled with various marks.

"Okay, the plan has been set. I'll be busy these few days."

Li Yao and Rimi nodded.

After the meeting, the two walked out of the office side by side and headed straight for the tent.

Li Yao packed his belongings, packed the remaining bullets and took them with him, looking ready to set off immediately.

At the meeting, he proposed the idea of ​​gathering refugees from other shelters and escaping together.

Although the risk is relatively high, the forces available for combat should be expanded. In addition, Li Yao showed unexpected eloquence at the meeting, leaving some persons in charge who opposed the plan speechless. So Takeuchi was relieved to let him persuade other shelters, so he finally agreed to the proposal.

As a former Self-Defense Force officer, Satomi stayed in the shelter and provided military training to the refugees who signed up for the militia, so that they could become useful fighting forces.

Without even taking a rest, Li Yao put on his heavy marching backpack, picked up his machine gun and prepared to set off.

"Brother Li Yao!"

Rimi stopped what she was doing, quickly got out of the tent and ran to Li Yao.

"Are you going now?"

"Well, without further ado, I hope to finish it quickly so that I can handle any emergencies if there is extra time."

"Is that so..." Rimi put her hands behind her back and fidgeted her fingers anxiously.

After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage and hugged Li Yao's cheek and rushed over.

The warm feeling instantly spread throughout Li Yao's body, and what was even more distinct was the addictive softness on her lips.

Nearly half a minute later, Rimi raised her head, and a crystal clear and slender arch bridge appeared between the two of them.

"Have a safe trip."

Rimi chuckled, her eyes gentle and lingering, touching the heartstrings.

Li Yao was stunned and nodded somewhat at a loss.
