A wave of golden electricity passed through the corpse-like bodies. These unlucky children immediately jumped up from the ground. Their eyes were no longer silent, and their pupils were focused as well. Their vitality had returned to their bodies.
"Who's that?
Why are you releasing electricity? "A hot-tempered person started cursing.
"Motherf * cker, can't you just let me die in peace? Can't I die peacefully in this day and age?" Another person whined.
After the initial chaos, the people who had been reactivated finally realized that there was one more person among them. It was a woman who was filled with dimensional energy and was definitely not a normal human!
"Oh no, Yuan Kou is here!
Everyone, prepare for battle! "
The swordsmen released their Sword Maidens at the same time. Then, more than forty Sword Maidens appeared in the small space. The entire space was crowded with people. It was difficult to even stand properly, let alone fight.
"Very good, it seems like all of you are energetic now!"
Most of the Swordmaidens were either Saber-class or Saber-class Swordmaidens. Misaka Mikoto did not care about them at all. "Withdraw your Swordmaidens. I'm not here to attack you. I'm a free agent!"
"A free person?"
The swordsmen were in an uproar when they heard Misaka Mikoto call herself a free person. After a while, the leader of the Artifact Sword Maidens asked loudly, "You say you're a free person. Why should we believe that you're a free person?
Show us the mark on your body and let us scan it. Then, we'll believe that you're a free person! "
As mentioned before, free people had a special mark on their body. After being scanned by their personal terminal, they would be able to prove that they were free people. Misaka Mikoto's mark was on her shoulder, which was not a very private part of her body.
But for a girl like her to expose her shoulders in front of so many men, no matter how she thought about it, it was a very uncomfortable thing.
Therefore, Misaka Mikoto rejected the request. She waved her hand in the air and a Void Door appeared out of thin air.
"It's a Void Door!
She's a Universe Level Yuan Kou! "
"Oh my god, I'm actually seeing the second Universe Grade Yuan Kou!" Seeing the appearance of this Void Gate, all the sword bearers were in an uproar.
This was because the Void Gate was the best way to prove one's strength. Only Immortal Sword Tier sword wielder and above, or Universe Tier Yuan Kou and above, could open the void and open the Void Gate.
Other than that, there were no other swordbearers or Yuan Kou who could do this.
Therefore, the moment these sword bearers saw the Void Gate, they were sure that the person in front of them was either Yuan Kou or the sword bearer. At the very least, they were at the Universe Realm!
After this was confirmed, the hostile atmosphere in the air dissipated a lot. This was because the people with the swords knew that they were no match for Yuan Kou, who was only at the Universe Realm. With just one move, he could send all of them to the Western Paradise to pray to the Buddha.
"Sir, are you really a free man?"
If the person in front of them was a Universe Level Yuan Kou, there would be no need to waste time talking. He could just kill all of them.
However, the person in front of them was patient enough to talk to them. This made the sword bearers believe that Misaka Mikoto was a free man. After all, they were saved by a free man.
"I'm a free man!
Don't worry, I won't hurt you! "
Misaka Mikoto forced a smile. "Please recall your swordmaidens. I have something to ask all of you!"
"Brothers, put away your Sword Ladies!
I'm about to be squeezed to death! "
One of the sword bearers joked. Instantly, the atmosphere eased up. Each of the sword bearers put away their Sword Ladies and Misaka Mikoto started communicating with the sword bearers.
…
After more than ten minutes of conversation, Misaka Mikoto and Guhan who had been listening from the side finally understood the whole story.
I'm not sure if everyone still remembers that when Yueyang Fortress had just fallen, Misaka Mikoto's friend, one of the Universe Level free men, Updraft, contacted Ju Wudao and told him that the free men were being threatened. He also told him that more than forty sword bearers were secretly saved by the free men and were hidden somewhere in the hopes that Yuzhang City could rescue them.
In the end, Ju Wudao considered that more sword bearers would be sacrificed in order to rescue them and rejected Updraft's request. Hence, the sword bearers were forgotten. It was only when Misaka Mikoto was looking for clues about the free men that she coincidentally came to this place.
According to the memories of these sword-bearers, a total of three freemen had saved them. In the chaos, they had saved these heavily injured sword-bearers, then broke through the void and brought them here. After that, the three freemen had never appeared again, and no one knew where they had gone.
Misaka Mikoto let out a deep sigh when she heard that the three free men were no longer here. Although this was within her expectations, she still hoped that a miracle would happen.
On one side, Misaka Mikoto was trying to understand the situation. On the other side, under Gu Han's command, Poor Scholar walked to the edge of the narrow space … As far as Gu Han knew, Fort Yue Yang did not have an underground shelter.
Since Yueyang Fortress was a military fortress for the sword bearers, there were very few civilians. There was no value in building an underground shelter. Hence, Guhan was very curious about where the underground shelter came from.
After a round of careful observation, Gu Han finally discovered that this underground shelter was very likely to have been dug out on the spot … and it was made in less than three minutes.
That was because an underground shelter built by humans must have a complete access system, ventilation system, heating system, food storage system, life support system, oxygen production system, and a series of other systems to ensure the safety of the people in the underground shelter. It was to prevent the shelter from turning into a morgue.
However, there was only one space in this underground space. Other than that, there were no other auxiliary systems. This place was equivalent to a huge underground coffin without ventilation holes. There was not even enough oxygen to sustain a human's survival. Liu Zilang wondered how the sword bearers survived without oxygen for a month.
Looking at the walls of the space, Liu Zilang realized that it was not a layer of soil. Instead, it felt like glass … It must have taken a lot of time to make a wall out of glass, right?
On the contrary, it was actually the easiest thing to do. As long as the soil was heated to a high temperature, the soil could be easily turned into glass. That was the most basic chemical formula.
"Hey, Guhan wants me to tell you that someone must have dug out a space and burned the soil layer at high temperature to form something like glass. It was used to support the space so that it would not collapse."
Qing Pin returned to Misaka Mikoto and told her about Guhan's discovery.
"It's Blackie and Chu Chun!"
Misaka Mikoto quickly explained, "Hei Zi must've used her teleportation ability to teleport the soil here. Then, she asked Chuchun to heat up the soil layer and turn it into glaze. Hei Zi and Chuchun must've saved them. That must be it!"
"That's right. It's Master Blackie, Master Chu Chun, and Master LeiZi who saved us!"
At that time, a tall man walked over weakly. "You must be Master Misaka Mikoto!
I'm Gui Yi, a Famed Sword Level swordsman under the Pleated Sword Spirit. Greetings, Master Misaka Mikoto! "The weak man bowed to Misaka Mikoto.
"There's no need for that!
All of you look like you're in bad shape!
What's going on? "Misaka Mikoto held onto Gui Yi and made him sit down.
The Famed Sword Level swordsman smiled bitterly. "To tell you the truth, Master Misaka Mikoto, we've been out of food for five days. Moreover, the oxygen in the medical chamber is running low. If you guys had come a few days later, we would have committed suicide by poisoning ourselves!"
The ambush was too sudden. The swordsman had started the battle in a leisurely manner. Naturally, they would not store too much food in their dimensional pockets. Many of their dimensional pockets were empty.
However, it was a complete tragedy when they arrived at the sanctuary. When the swordsman gathered all their food together, they realized that even if they only ate once a day, they could only last for about twenty days.
Oxygen was a huge problem. Misaka Mikoto's friends did not have professional construction engineers. They did not even consider the problem of ventilation when they built the sanctuary. It was not until all of them had left that the remaining swordsman realized that they were running out of oxygen.
Fortunately, the medical chamber had an oxygen-producing function. They managed to survive by using the oxygen produced by the medical chamber.
However, the medical chamber used chemicals to produce oxygen. It could not last for a long time. Now that a month had passed, there were not many chemicals left in the medical chamber. Soon, the place would completely run out of oxygen.
Therefore, when Misaka Mikoto entered the sanctuary, everyone was stunned and silent. They did not seem to care about what was going on outside.
That was because they could only survive by staying in that state as little food and oxygen as possible …
"What's the point of holding on here?"
Suddenly, Qingpin said, "You should know that Yuzhang City will not send anyone to save you … Guhan said so."
In an instant, the entire place fell into dead silence.
"Qingpin, you brat. How could you say what I'm thinking …" Guhan who was hiding in Qingpin's body was completely speechless. That was right. He had said that in his heart. He did not want Qingpin to say it out loud. However, Qingpin had said it out loud. This made Guhan feel extremely awkward. The entire sanctuary fell into dead silence. That was because Qingpin had revealed the problem that every swordsman did not dare to think about.
"Yuzhang can forget about us, but we can't forget about Yuzhang!" After a long silence, Gui Yi suddenly said something that shocked everyone.
This was the swordsman, the people of Yuzhang City.
