BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73.2
There were other extremely faint breaths among the rubble . Morrison spotted a woman lying in a pool of blood . The latter exerted strength to turn towards him and moved her eyes to the cub in his arms, feebly uttering what would be her last words, “... . Laili . ”
It was the cub’s name .
The faint breaths stopped . Her voice still in his ear, Morrison hugged the cub he had rescued from under the rubble and fled in the direction of the set coordinates .
Originally, the time should have been adequate . By the time those chasing him caught up, Morrison would have already reached the teleportation circle .
But in the middle of his escape he had chosen to go save the cub . Now, still a few hundred meters away from the teleportation circle, Morrison’s path was cut off by the enemy chasing him .
Even more rushed forth from behind, effectively blocking his path and turning it into a dead end .
He paid no mind to those standing in his way . Morrison kept going . Using his ability, the gravity affecting the enemy all at once increased by several times, immediately making it hard for them to move .
Adjustment of gravity, this variant ability had a limited range and couldn’t be used on a wider scale . However, when used properly like this, it could display a surprising efficacy .
The last 100 meters .
He was getting closer and closer, but before he had successfully escaped, Morrison didn’t dare lower his guard the slightest .
Still one minute left until the teleportation circle closed— Sufficient .
Calculating the time in his head, Morrison increased his speed to make the final sprint .
He could see the dim light of the teleportation circle hidden in the grass . It was only a few steps away, Morrison would be able to immediately run into it .
But the second he laid his eyes on it, a particle light beam, it’s speed making it hard to evade, surged past his side and created a deep hole in the ground . At the same time, a figure closed in, the strange weapon in their hand aimed at the latter .
That angle— He was at first going to evade . However, when facing the approaching enemy who had their weapon raised, Morrison suddenly realized he couldn’t dodge the attack .
From this angle, to evade all possible attacks, there was only one way for him to evade, and if he did, the cub in his arms would be hit .
Searing pain . Enduring the attack, Morrison seized the moment and fell down, rolling into the teleportation circle in the grass . Even though the enemy tried to interfere with the circle the moment they discovered it, Morrison was successfully teleported .
However, the enemy’s tampering did not have no effect at all . The instant the teleportation was completed he opened his eyes and was met with an unfamiliar scene .
Morrison knew something must have gone wrong with the teleportation, but he had no energy left to think it over . He didn’t know if it was the effect of the enemy’s special weapon, but Morrison felt his consciousness fade . The next second, he fell into darkness .
He was not sure how long he had been out . When he started to regain consciousness, the first thing Morrison felt was something sharp lightly pecking his face .
It didn’t actually hurt, it was more as if to wake him up .
As soon as Morrison opened his eyes, he saw a fluffy laili cub . The cub could not be more than a few months old . When that pair of small flippers hung along the sides of his body, the cub looked particularly round .
“Gu-Ji . ”
Lifting his flippers, the laili cub called out to the adult who had awakened with a tender sound .
Morrison sat up and first took the cub back into his arms, he then began to take in his surroundings .
It seemed like a cave, it was by the sea .
After waking up, he felt severe pain radiating from the place he was hit on his left arm . Enduring the pain, Morrison stood up with the cub in his arms and walked out of the cave .
Their current location was, naturally, still on Kesou . He had lost his communication device in the battle earlier, Morrison couldn’t contact the troops right now .
He should have been unconscious for about a day at most . He didn’t know how the war was going . Morrison could only start by taking the cub to the nearest city .
Once arriving at the city, he unexpectedly received good news . The war had ended . The day after the enemy leader was assassinated, the enemy who were thrown into complete disarray, like a sheet of loose sand[1], was soon thoroughly wiped out by the Star Alliance Army with the power of a tiger biting down on its prey .
