Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2173 - 2236: You’re Bleeding

The tremor didn’t last long, but when Li Yifei helped Wu Shuwei out of the cell, they found that the way up was completely blocked. The entire third underground level was in ruins, the walls cracked, and water was seeping through one spot with quite a volume.

Wu Shuwei’s face was pale. Even though Li Yifei was beside her, she didn’t feel too scared. With her intellect, even if Li Yifei wasn’t there, she wouldn’t have panicked and done nothing. During the kidnapping at Dubai Airport, despite so many guns and the suddenness, Wu Shuwei didn’t panic.

Now her body was uncomfortable; she found it hard even to stand, causing Li Yifei to be trapped in the third underground level, ten meters below the surface, which made Wu Shuwei feel a bit guilty.

Li Yifei helped Wu Shuwei to sit on a fallen stone platform, letting her sit while he went to check at the stairway entrance. It was blocked by the collapsed stones from above, virtually impossible to open from inside. Even a slight movement would cause stones to roll down, replenishing the blockage.

There was no way up from here, yet Li Yifei sensed people outside, so he closed his eyes and concentrated. Not only were there people outside, but many, with strong and powerful witchcraft.

It was a setup! By now, Li Yifei realized those people probably knew he was coming to rescue someone, maybe even when he entered they knew, so they used explosives to seal the way up. Even with immense skills, Li Yifei couldn’t get out.

No need to wait until then; even now, Li Yifei couldn’t get out. There were about fifty people outside, and based on the senses, the first and second levels had completely collapsed, only the third level remained. Precisely calculated, or...

Li Yifei turned to look at Wu Shuwei, who was also looking at him.

Li Yifei walked back, saying: "You rest first, recover slowly, I’ll find another way."

"Did they blow it up on purpose?"

"Probably, but don’t worry!" Li Yifei tidied Wu Shuwei’s bangs, saying: "It’s okay, not a big deal, we’re stuck, but they can’t come down either."

"I dragged you into this." Wu Shuwei sighed in her heart, face showing some despair. Saying meeting Li Yifei was bad luck was just a joke, she didn’t really believe it. In truth, she was very grateful to Li Yifei; if he hadn’t appeared promptly each time, she would probably have been dead or destroyed.

This time, again rescued by Li Yifei; if she hadn’t said so much nonsense and they left sooner, maybe there wouldn’t be such danger. So naturally, it was her fault.

Of course, Li Yifei didn’t think so. He looked at the leaking wall, noticing the water increasing, recalling the structure of the courtyard and artificial hill. One side had a pool, which Li Yifei hadn’t checked its depth before. Seeing the third level leaking, the pool seemed deep, or rather, the damage caused the water to leak down.

But why wasn’t it leaking from the stairs, instead of here? Maybe this place is closer to the leak?

Li Yifei walked over, touched the wall, finding it was made of stone blocks. Through the cracks, the stones appeared thick, but Li Yifei didn’t despair; the stone thickness wasn’t a problem if he wanted to break it.

Above stood many people, all hostile, looking at the ruins of the artificial hill. The explosion had completely destroyed it, leaving a rubble field. Among them, a young black man held a two-meter-long staff, tapping the ground, saying: "Sure it won’t damage the third level?"

"Lord Huhulu, it shouldn’t damage anything, we calculated it, and no explosives were placed on the third level."

"Good, let’s trap them for a day, no rush to get them out, haha. That woman is precious, worth twenty thousand US Dollars by herself."

"Enough to buy many weapons, but clan chief, they also need us to kill that man."

"Kill him!" Clan Leader Huhulu said unconcernedly.

Not far, General Lion heard the explosion from the clan chief’s mansion and was startled. He wanted to check the situation, noticing many people also running from their homes to see, and armed soldiers surrounding outside for security, dispersing onlookers.

What to do, is Mr. Li in danger inside?

Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei at this moment, should not be panicking. The wall that cracked and let water seep through was expanding continuously, so now they had to think of a way, either to block it or... carve out a path from here.

Once he thought of it, he acted. This was Li Yifei’s usual nature. He moved Wu Shuwei to a relatively safe place, at least for the time being, the water wouldn’t flood there. Li Yifei shared his plan, and Wu Shuwei immediately agreed, saying, "Be careful."

"Don’t worry, if this works, a lot of water might come out soon. I’ll come back right away."

Li Yifei didn’t have a better solution. He manifested two True Qi Blades and swung them at the wall. The True Qi Blade was extremely sharp; when Li Yifei intimidated General Lion’s men before, he once cut through a thick stone wall with just one slash. This time, being trapped about ten meters underground, Li Yifei had to cut a path out on his own.

Of course, what he didn’t mention was that this method was also very dangerous because if what’s above isn’t pool water but rather stones or soil, rushing down suddenly could cause severe harm. It might even flood the place directly, and the hole Li Yifei made could be blocked by the incoming stones. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In short, it was a very risky method. Li Yifei had to try it. He placed Wu Shuwei in a cell where even a sudden influx of water wouldn’t immediately reach her, and after resting for so long, Wu Shuwei had also recovered somewhat.

Watching Li Yifei suddenly manifest two white long blades in his hands, Wu Shuwei’s eyes widened. She knew Li Yifei wasn’t an ordinary person and knew he was very powerful with gun skills like a deity and extremely accurate, with excellent physical skills, but how powerful exactly?

This gave her a new understanding. It was simply the means of deities, to be able to manifest weapons out of thin air. This should not belong in the realm of humans. There was a moment where Wu Shuwei almost thought she was playing an online game where the protagonist had an infinite backpack, capable of instantly manifesting weapons and various items.

Seeing Li Yifei seemingly perform magic, swinging a blade to release a slash of white energy at the stone wall, Wu Shuwei watched with her mouth agape and eyes fixed because she had never seen these things in reality before. Even though she had an understanding of Li Yifei’s strength, she realized that her understanding was still insufficient.

Unaware of the woman’s thoughts behind him, Li Yifei slashed ten times in a short ten seconds, precisely five times with each blade, shattering the stone wall in front of him. Numerous fragments fell, water flow gradually increased, rushing onto Li Yifei, and his feet seemed rooted, standing firmly. Meanwhile, the two long blades in his hands continued to slash forcefully.

In less than ten strikes, the two True Qi Blades shattered one after another, but Li Yifei quickly manifested two new ones, continuing to hack at the opening. The gap had already been hacked wide open by Li Yifei.

When the deluge of water flooded in, Li Yifei felt a sense of relief because the water flow was relatively clear, not muddy. If it were muddy, it would suggest a very thick layer of soil above, especially that kind of slurry, but the water now being sprayed out, although turbid, was not that muddy soup.

The intense pressure caused water to spout from above, the gap Li Yifei had cut continued to expand, but it was still too slow. So Li Yifei gripped two True Qi Blades again, hacking forcefully at the opening.

Watching Li Yifei standing against the water stream, cutting out the gap, Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but cry. She wasn’t a woman who liked to cry, and even after several kidnapping incidents, she didn’t show vulnerability, but watching Li Yifei’s back, she couldn’t help it anymore.

Li Yifei stood firmly, his body withstanding the water flow’s impact without moving a bit, his hands wielding and slashing, the blade energy creating booming sounds amidst the stone and water flow.

Finally, after the second True Qi Blade shattered, Li Yifei slashed the opening to be a meter wide and a meter long, enough for one or even two people to pass through. Also, Li Yifei confirmed that there was indeed a water flow above, and Li Yifei even saw two fish being washed down by the water.

He turned and walked towards Wu Shuwei but accidentally slipped and fell into the water.

"Ah!" Wu Shuwei’s face turned pale as she shouted, "Yifei!"

Just as Wu Shuwei was about to rescue Li Yifei, she saw him already standing from the water, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, holding a fish in his hand. He ran to the cell door in a few steps and said, "I was trying to catch a fish..."

Wu Shuwei burst out laughing, inadvertently spraying snot, and punched Li Yifei’s chest, saying, "Even now, you’re... you’re bleeding!"

Halfway through, Wu Shuwei pointed at Li Yifei’s chest and hurriedly opened his shirt to see a nail still stuck in his chest, it was from the explosion debris.

"It’s nothing, hehe, just a small matter!" Li Yifei, seeing Wu Shuwei so scared, quickly shook his head, pulled Wu Shuwei’s hand away, grasped the nail, and with a light force, pulled it out. This was from when he fell, his mind wasn’t prepared, and his body wasn’t protected at all.
