Chapter 968 Hoping for a Miracle

"boom--!"

The deafening explosion instantly engulfed everything, and the blindingly bright light flashed and then vanished. Just before the wave of fire, carrying debris, shot into the sky, Chu Xin finally beheaded Jiang Yi with a single stroke before feeling the searing pain of the explosion.

Having succeeded in her attack, she immediately dashed out at lightning speed.

Unable to see the center of the explosion behind them, the dark meteorites suddenly emitted an eerie silver-blue glow under the impact of the high-explosive energy.

But it only flashed for a moment before being completely buried by the collapsing laboratory.

"boom--"

"boom--"

Dust billowed up, and what should have been a normal-sized explosion seemed to have been fueled by some enormous energy, producing a powerful mushroom cloud that, along with the towering flames, obscured the entire sky above the gas station.

Those who left earlier barely made it out of the blast radius. The commotion caused them all to stop their cars, staring wide-eyed at everything in front of them.

"Boss!"

A mournful cry rang out, and someone turned to look, only to find it was Wei Yu, who had run back.

Amidst the billowing dust, he scrambled off the vehicle, his legs trembling, and rushed towards the side of the car, yelling, "Where's the boss? Where is he?!"

The others, their faces filled with grief, stopped him, trembling as they said, "The boss... didn't come out..."

"What?!" Wei Yu clenched his fists and rushed towards the center of the explosion without hesitation.

Those around him forcibly pulled him back, crying and pleading, "Brother Yu, don't be impulsive. Going there now won't help. The boss sent everyone away because she didn't want to implicate us. You have to understand her good intentions!"

"What the hell do I understand? She's our leader! What would we do without her?!"

With snot and tears streaming down his face, Wei Yu struggled to break free of his restraints and rushed forward in a disheveled state, only to be forced back by the surging flames before he could even get close.

He lost his balance and fell to his knees, his hands pressing against the scorching hot gravel, instantly forming blisters. He raised his hands, staring blankly, and let out a muffled sob.

"Boss...she must be in so much pain...waaaaah..."

Much later.

The fire gradually subsided.

The ground, scorched by the intense heat, remained extremely hot. In a place where ordinary people could not approach, Wei Yu, suppressing his grief, could no longer wait and ran all the way to the location of the former gas station.

The place had long since become a deep, cratered ruin, with the surrounding ruins reduced to charred rubble, and sporadic fires still burning among them.

"Quick, quick, find it!!" Wei Yu was horrified by what he saw. With his last glimmer of hope, he was the first to jump into the deep pit and frantically dig with his bare hands.

Hoping for a miracle.

Seeing this, others joined in, but after searching the entire bottom of the pit, they found nothing.

Wei Yu's fingernails were all broken, and his palms were a bloody mess. He stood there in a sorry state, his hands trembling as he looked around blankly.

No, there's nothing there.

His heart sank to the bottom. His tears, dried by the intense heat, flowed back again. Yes, he had made a stupid mistake. How could there be any bodies left after such a powerful explosion?

“…Brother Wei, look at this…” someone called to him.

Wei Yu turned around in a daze and saw that the man was holding a long sword that was badly damaged in both hands. Even though the color had changed under the high temperature, he still recognized it at a glance as Chu Xin's.

He walked over and took it, then lowered his head and stroked it for a long time, so long that the smell of gunpowder in the air faded and zombies, smelling the scent of living people, rushed over.

Everyone is in poor condition today, and waiting here to fight zombies is the most irrational thing to do. Wei Yu took a deep breath, gripped his sword, glanced at the place again, and then turned around. "Let's leave first. There are still many things waiting for us in the base!"

Everyone obeyed the order and immediately followed.
