Talina quickened her pace and ran quickly towards the exit she had prepared in advance.

But when she was near the exit, she stopped.

The door, which was originally empty, was now filled with fully armed soldiers.

"Is this the threat that Justin Jr. was talking about?"

Looking at the twenty or so soldiers, Talina secretly clicked her tongue.

It seemed like Blake's hatred for them was much greater than they realized.

Without any hesitation, Talina turned and ran towards another exit.

She didn't want to take action. Killing people within Rhine Life, especially those from the Colombian military, was not an easy problem to solve.

There are surveillance cameras everywhere here, and it would be difficult to deal with if we were intercepted.

"Chase!"

As Talina began to move, the soldiers who were standing quietly also took steps instantly and chased after Talina.

.........

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

The rapid and weak breathing sound echoed in the dark space.

The deafening roar seemed to echo in his ears. Ignoring the cut on his arm, Ifrit dragged the two of them and groped forward in the darkness.

Even though her muscles were constantly screaming in pain and fatigue, she had no intention of throwing away these two "burdens".

She was lucky enough to find a special terrain before the explosion, which allowed her to avoid the initial blast and minimize the damage.

But she was also unlucky. A lot of rubble and bricks fell near the inside and she was almost buried alive.

If these two people hadn't dug me out... I'd be in trouble...

Turning back and lighting a flame, Ifrit looked at the bloody fingers of the two men in the faint light, and couldn't help but change his mind about them.

Soldiers, Colombian soldiers at that. Before the mission began, I had already considered them to be enemies as annoying as the white coats. I never expected that I would be rescued by the enemy...

really...

After tightening the rope, Ifrit pulled the two of them and groped slowly.

Compared to Ifrit, these two brothers' luck is not that good?

Before the explosion, they blocked most of the impact for Ifrit, whose internal body had already been severely damaged. In addition, he had been digging the hole with his bare hands for most of the day. It was a miracle that he could breathe now.

So, the kindness of the two earned Ifrit's help.

After dispelling the flames and struggling to move the rubble in front of him, Ifrit couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The hissing sound of the liquefied originium gas leaking became clearer and clearer, making her a little worried that it might cause a second explosion.

One explosion almost buried her here, and she couldn't even imagine if it happened a second time.

She had the marbles given by Talina, which allowed her to leave safely, but the two people behind her didn't have them. For them...

Hold on a little longer...

Silently cheering himself up in his heart, Ifrit stumbled forward.

The endless darkness before her eyes made her feel exhausted both physically and mentally. The hissing sound of liquefied source stone gas was approaching her, which was a dangerous signal.

"Huh... Saria... Can't embarrass her!"

Muttering Saria's name, some strength surged in his limbs, and Ifrit pulled the two people to his side with force.

The power that suddenly surged in his body disappeared like a flash in the pan. Ifrit staggered and almost fell to his knees.

But fortunately...

Someone caught her.

"I am coming..."

There was a gentle caress on her head. Although her forehead was bumped by the armor on the other person, Ifrit hugged her excitedly.

"Sareya! I knew you would come to me!"

Ifrit shouted happily as he climbed onto the other person using all four limbs.

"Okay, okay... Let's go out first..."

After rubbing Ifrit's head, Saria looked up at the tunnel she had dug with her bare hands.

"Found it, pull us up."

The sound came in and out layer by layer, and successfully reached Rosemary's ears above.

The white kitten knelt at the entrance of the cave and nodded blankly.

"Good~"

Immediately, Rosemary reached out her "hand" and successfully found Saria and Ifrit who were hugging each other.

besides...

"There are others..."

Sensing the presence of the other two people, Rosemary asked doubtfully, "Do we need to pull them up as well?"

"Is there anyone else?"

Listening to Rosemary's words, Saria quickly stood in front of Ifrit and blocked her behind her.

Just now, because she was too focused on Ifrit, she didn't check the surrounding situation immediately, so she didn't notice the two brothers lying dead in the corner.

"They are... prisoners! They planted bombs down there. I thought you might be able to use them, Saria, so I brought them out..."

Ifrit ran out from behind Saria, found the rope that fell on the ground, picked it up and handed it to Saria, then hugged her.

"I was helpful this time, wasn't I?"

Looking up at the family in front of him, Ifrit's face was full of smiles.

Even in the darkness, Safra's eyes were shining red, which made Saria extremely happy.

She reached out and gently stroked Ifrit's head, straightening the sweat-soaked hair, and said with a smile: "You..."

“It helped me a lot.”

After saying that, Saria sent a signal upwards, and Rosemary responded and successfully pulled them out.

The feeling of breathing fresh air again made Ifrit feel extremely comfortable. She opened her mouth and breathed in greedily.

The air underground didn't smell good, and the leakage of liquefied originium gas brought a pungent smell. Being able to breathe fresh air now actually made her feel happy.

"You are hurt?"

Next to her, Saria, who had placed two soldiers, came over and saw the glaring wound on Ifrit's arm.

The wound was not big, but it looked particularly scary with the dried blood.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it will heal on its own in a while."

Ifrit hid her arms behind her back and pretended not to care.

"Give me your hand."

But Saria wouldn't fall for her tricks. She pulled Ifrit's hand over without saying anything and looked at it carefully.

"It's not a big wound, but it needs cleaning."

After confirming that Ifrit's injuries were not serious, Saria's tense heart relaxed.

Finding a bottle of water from the small bag Rosemary was carrying, Saria violently unscrewed the cap and poured the water on Ifrit's arm.

The dust and scabbed blood on Ifrit's hands kept falling to the ground as Saria washed them.

This isn't the best way to deal with it, but it's the only way right now.

After cleaning, Saria began to rummage through Rosemary's small bag, trying to find something like a bandage, but unfortunately, Rosemary didn't bring any.

Just as she was about to tear off her clothes to use as a bandage, an arm reached out from her side and grabbed Ifrit's injured hand.

A small drone hovered on Ifrit's arm, and silver-green liquid continued to spray down.

Along with it, there was Ifrit's scream.

Volume 9: Chapter 60: Unable to refute, nothing to say

"Ahhh! Ahhhh! It hurts! Hurmer! It hurts!!!"

Ifrit's piercing screams reached the sky, awakening the two brothers who were drowsy and waiting to die.

But Hemer didn't let go at all. He held Ifrit's hand motionlessly, his eyes fixed on Ifrit's wound.

Only after the medicine was sprayed did Hemer tear off the bandage and wrap it around in circles.

"The wound isn't big, it just looks scary, but given the underground environment, there's still a risk of infection, and there's also the presence of liquefied Originium gas..."

After cutting the bandage, Hemer gently tucked the broken end back in, reached out and pried open Ifrit's eyelids, looking carefully into the other's eyes.

"It's hard to tell the specific situation. It requires specific instrument testing. Let's collect blood first."

Hemer, who was concentrating on the inspection, was as gentle as usual, but Ifrit was still very nervous.

On the one hand, it is a problem that I "ran away" myself, and on the other hand...

"...Hemer."

Looking at Hemer's delicate movements, Saria pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

She knew about Homer's arrival in Columbia, but she had been avoiding him.

She knew that Hemer didn't like her very much, so she kept her whereabouts hidden.

I've been very careful, but why...

Or will it be discovered?

"Help me recover the drone, it's running low on battery."

Fiddling with the instrument in his hand, Hemer looked back at Saria.

"...OK."

He answered carefully, then grabbed the drone that was floating in front of him, unloaded its battery, and put it in his pocket.

Looking at Saria's rough action, Hemer paused for a moment, and then shook his head imperceptibly.

"how is the situation?"

After putting away the drone, Saria walked over to Hemer and looked at the data on the tablet in his hand.

That was the approximate data of Ifrit's physical condition and the concentration of Originium in her body.

"The density of blood source stone crystals has increased slightly."

Hemer told the data truthfully.

"What about the rising speed and somatic cell fusion trend prediction?"

"It's still under control... I'm lucky."

"The rest of the results will only be known after Ifrit returns to the ship and undergoes a comprehensive inspection."

"Wait? Return to the ship? Hummer! I don't want to..."

Hearing Hemer's "verdict" on her, Ifrit suddenly became anxious, and she even faced the angry Hemer directly.

She was not afraid of Hemer being angry, because she knew that when Hemer was angry, he was concerned about her, or she had done something wrong. This kind of anger was a kind of correction, and Ifrit would accept it with pain and happiness.

What she was afraid of was the silent Hemer, because once Hemer stopped talking, it meant that something must have touched her bottom line.

The bottom line is...

Not negotiable.

Her work was not yet done. She still had to help Rosemary and Saria, and she also had to send the two soldiers who saved her life to a place with medical facilities.

But Hemer's words decided everything that happened to her afterwards, which made her a little resistant.

But she knew that Hemer was doing it for her own good, so even her rebuttal seemed weak.

"Hemer... I came here on my own initiative. I pestered Dr. Kal'tsit for a long time, and I also wrote a very long letter of guarantee. I also obeyed and did not run around..."
