Chapter 515: A Desperate Escape

As a quick succession of explosions burst out in the air, Lin Sanjiu grabbed the hand of her grand prize and retreated to the back of the door. She had just stayed outside for merely ten seconds, and she had lost about five battleships. Nevertheless, she was still relieved that those exploded battleships had successfully intercepted the attacks thrown at her.

Peering through the slit of the door, Lin Sanjiu saw a horde of duoluozhong rushing toward them. Their cries were both loud and shrill, cutting through the air and causing a vibration stentorian enough to give them a headache.

It seemed that they were initially ordered to scatter around to search for them. The reason they returned so early was that the warden had planted a few *duoluozhongs *outside the entrance as alarms. Those duoluozhongs were tasked to inform their comrades should their hostages escape.

“The two posthumans are still in the underground shrine!” A duoluozhong, who was about the size of a human, except for its long neck, hollered to its comrades. It sounded like an alarm that went mad, and all of the human residents rushed into the holes like a bunch of terrified ants. Going against the crowd of people was horde after horde of duoluozhong. They* *were pushing through the dense crowd of people, laughing and screaming and galloping at full throttle towards the underground shrine.

Looking at the quantity—no, it was impossible to quantify the amount of the *duoluozhong *that came from different directions right now—there were too many of them, and all she could see was only a sea of deep green color.

Lin Sanjiu’s palms were wet with sweat. Peering through the slit of the door at the pregnant woman that hung on top of the entrance, realization dawned upon her. She knew she had to save her before the labor claimed her life.

“Where is the warden?” A few voices rang out, “Where is it?”

The *duoluozhong *with a long neck did not reply instantly. Its ear-numbing shrill that sounded like an air-raid alarm was getting smaller and smaller until it completely ceased away.

“The warden has been fighting those two posthumans inside the shrine.” Its voice was even sharper and clearer when it talked, filling every corner of the square with its sonorous tone, “...Since they’re here, I believe the warden has been already slain.”

Following that, all of the *duoluozhong *in the square yelled collectively, a booming shout that rocked their eardrums and the ground. However, when Lin Sanjiu listened carefully, she found out that those *duoluozhongs *were not mourning for the death of the warden; instead, they sounded excited and thrilled. Lin Sanjiu exchanged glances with her grand prize, and both of them could see the bewildered expressions on each other faces.

“Praise the Lord, Deva! It seems like today is my lucky day!”

“Get the hell out of my way! Show me where those two posthumans are!”

The noises outside surged like a tidal wave from afar until one particular voice drifted clearly into their ears:

“If I kill them, I will be the next warden!”

“Damn it!” Lin Sanjiu cursed aloud.

Initially, it was already a difficult job to break free from the blockade of a thousand duoluozhongs. Right now, with the *duoluozhong’s *morale boosted as they became even more electrified, it was not hard to imagine how perilous the situation had become for both of them.

Furthermore, her Higher Consciousness was not enough to put the pregnant woman down from her place...

Seeing that the nearest *duoluozhong *had begun to charge in, Lin Sanjiu knew it wasn’t the right time to be indecisive. As she gritted her teeth, she pulled the door open.

“Sis!” Shocked by Lin Sanjiu’s action, Ji Shanqing yelled out.

“I’ll hold them off. Try to get that woman down as soon as possible!” Lin Sanjiu continued to dart forward without turning her head, “...Don’t worry. I promise they won’t be able to lay even a single finger on you.”

Without waiting for Ji Shanqing to respond, she stepped outside, clenching her whip tightly in her palm. She looked determined. The pale sunlight had cast a silhouette of her onto the door. Almost at the same time as she went outside, the battleships had exploded.

“Now!” After she roared to her back, she kicked on the ground and charged into the sea of *duoluozhong *like an arrow released from its bowstrings. The reason she stood still for so long was that she was creating an opportunity for her grand prize. She had only a couple of battleships left, and without further delay, Lin Sanjiu enacted a [Defense Forcefield] around her and went straight for the few *duoluozhongs *that were nearest to her.

Using the [Tornado Whip], she unleashed a cyclone powerful enough to decimate anything, catching the few *duoluozhongs *on the hop and sending them flying away. Having no desire to finish them off, Lin Sanjiu switched her target to another group of *duoluozhong *that pounced at her back without any apprehension and swung her whip again.

Adrenaline had exploded throughout her body; her nerve was as stiff as a ramrod, and her heart was racing like a racing car revving for takeoff. She did not dare to slow down, even by a little bit, as she found some of the duoluozhongs stopped charging in amongst the surge the moment they saw her. She knew very well that they were the trickiest group to deal with, and once they managed to lock target on her, both Ji Shanqing and her would be death locked. As such, she continued to move at high speed, shuttling in and out like a phantom and knocking out as many *duoluozhong *as she could.

Nevertheless, the battleships were going down at an alarming rate. Her luck was terrible as a few of the battleships’ self-destruction did not manage to stop the incoming attack, and even though she had had her [Defense Forcefield] up, she was still hit by one of the attacks.

It was probably an illusion-type ability. Although her speed remained the same, she couldn’t control herself and darted to her back. When she saw her grand prize, she raised the whip in her hand.

Ji Shanqing was now climbing onto the shelf, attempting to undo the chain on that woman’s body. When he heard the commotion, he turned around, and his face turned pale. He quickly yelled, “Sis!” Lin Sanjiu was snapped out from her confusion. Once she was back to normal, she immediately turned her whip into her card before her whip could unleash a tornado.

“On your back!” Ji Shanqing called out to her again.

It just so happened that her body suddenly became lighter as the effect of the ability went off. She did not turn around but instead rolled along the ground, causing the figure to overshoot. Before the *duoluozhong *could land on the ground, Lin Sanjiu balled her hand into a fist and threw a mighty punch on its rear head. A mass of brain matter and blood burst out into the air, and the *duoluozhong’s *lifeless body dropped to the ground, emitting a loud thud.

The whole incident took no more than a few seconds, yet another seven battleships had exploded. There were only a few battleships left.

As she spun around to intercept another salvo of attack from the duoluozhong, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t contain her anxiety anymore and bellowed at her grand prize, “Are you done yet?”

“Almost! Give me another minute!”

In their current condition, one minute was tremendously long.

Although Lin Sanjiu could smash through all resistance, advance victoriously and massacre every *duoluozhong *with the help of [Tornado Whip] and [Mosaic Censorship], five seconds later, her last battleship had exploded as well, leaving her exposed.

Mrs. Manas immediately increased the strength of the [Defense Forcefield]. Her Higher Consciousness gushed out like water flooding out through the sluices. Lin Sanjiu continued to jostle amongst the duoluozhongs, harvesting one after another life as if she was a dead Reaper, drenching her battered body with blood and wounds.

When Lin Sanjiu called the [Weather Forecaster] out, a strict-looking woman wearing a skirt appeared on her back. Luckily, she did not need to bother about the forecaster as though the woman wouldn’t help her in defending against her enemies, she wouldn’t be attacked as well. Following closely behind Lin Sanjiu, her mouth did not stop blabbering on and on. With her help, Lin Sanjiu was able to hold her ground for a little longer.

“Sis, I’m done!” Lin Sanjiu eyes glowed when she heard her grand prize. She raised her head to see that the pregnant woman had been almost released from her restraints, dangling loosely over the wall with only Ji Shanqing grabbing on her chain. Clenching her jaw, she pushed the *duoluozhongs *away using her whip, rushed toward the pregnant woman, and grabbed her before she landed on the ground.

“I got her! Let’s get out of here!”

The moment she stopped attacking, the [Defense Forcefield] had to bear all the attack from the duoluozhongs, and Mrs. Manas couldn’t help grunting inside her mind. Without wasting any further second, Lin Sanjiu lifted the pregnant woman onto her shoulder and swung her [Tornado Whip] with a mighty force. It seemed as if all of the wind from every corner of the planet had gathered around her whip, and her whip had taken into the form of a dragon. The wind dragon then lunged forward, gobbling down any *duoluozhongs *bold enough to step into her way.

The wind dragon broke through the beleaguerment of the duoluozhong, crushed multiple bodies and shattered half of the hallway, opening a path for them. Coupled up with the forecast ability from the [Weather Forecaster], they picked the track with the least amount of duoluozhong.

Perhaps her brutal attempt had stunned her adversaries since the remaining duoluozhongs had slowed down. Holding the pregnant woman on her shoulder, Lin Sanjiu used the rooftops of the holes as her stepping stone to move upward, earning her a few exclamations of amazement from the residents inside.

Maybe the sudden utterance had aroused the woman when Lin Sanjiu swerved into a hole to evade another attack, as she heard a long-drawn-out moaning with her ears. The pregnant woman had woken up.

“Can you hear me?” Lin Sanjiu huffed, “I can’t put you down now, so bear with me—”

“You guys had murdered the warden?”

The woman immediately figured out the whole situation after two seconds.

“Yes, we killed it. We are now running—”

“No way...” the pregnant woman muttered. Color faded away from her face, “We’re doomed... Once the warden is dead, Deva will be here soon!”
