After Qu Jianlei left Spirit Fox, the first thing he thought about was to rescue Pan Yifu.

Old Pan said that we would save him when "we can", but we all came together, so we can't leave him alone, right? However, Qu Jianlei glanced at it and found that Old Pan had fallen into the hands of others. The one who carried him was Rank B and the other was Modified Warrior.

Modified Warrior is easy to deal with, but Rank B Warrior is very difficult.

No matter what attributes or not, Glass Cannon or Glass Cannon, as long as it is Rank B Warrior, there is no easy way to deal with it.

Qu Jianlei In the past, when dealing with Rank B Warrior, he basically didn't even need to blink his eyebrows.

But what happens? At least he has 50% to 60% Inner Breath available - at worst, it can't be less than 30%, right? But Qu Jianlei and now Inner Breath can barely reach half a percent, not even 10 percent.

When he left the tower just now, there were still about 10% Inner Breath, but after one Falling Thunder Art went down, it was like this now.

However, shouldn't Falling Thunder Art be posted? If he didn't send it, Spirit Fox might be dead at this moment.

These are all in the past tense. The problem now is: trying to save Pan Yifu is a bit troublesome.

During this process, he quietly felt the entire Control Center, and was stunned again.

The Red Cloud he knew had been maimed, with two legs broken at the knees, and was currently in the hands of Space Pirate.

Fang Cao was also burned black and looked like he was not sure whether he was alive or dead. He was lying on the ground with only his chest rising and falling slightly.

Among the Rank A that Qu Jianlei knows, the only one who still insists on fighting is Baldy.

Another Rank A that is still supporting should be White Robe. This was Qu Jianlei's guess, but it also became a blood suit.

Qu Jianlei If he wants to run away now, he can basically do so unless he is specially targeted by the Supreme Being.

But it would be a bit of a loss to just run away like this. You have to leave with a comrade, right?

Pan Yifu, Red Cloud... or Fang Cao? This is a problem.

It's not a matter of who should be saved when the wife or the mother fell into the water. He didn't have such a close relationship with these three people.

But choice exists objectively.

Logically speaking, he has more contact with Pan Yifu, and they are not in the Pioneers camp.

Moreover, Old Pan and his target are not to hijack the signal, but Black Box. They are planning different things.

He also cooperated with Pan Yifu to obtain Gardening Department, so it is more appropriate to save Old Pan first.

But Qu Jianlei doesn't think so. Deep down, he thinks Pan Yifu is not the same type of person as him.

Moreover, Old Pan has Space Pirate by his side, so rescuing him will cost a certain amount of money.

But now Qu Jianlei is really not willing to pay even the slightest cost.

Inner Breath is only half-finished. As a person with a very poor sense of security, he still wants to save people. Is this realistic? As for Red Cloud? It was really troublesome to rescue him. On the one hand, he fell into the hands of Space Pirate. The key is that the injury was too serious.

So at present, it seems that Fang Cao is the better choice, and this has absolutely nothing to do with her gender.

In fact, there is another factor. If he saves Fang Cao, this will be the second time.

If you choose not to save it, Regeneration Potion last time will really become a sunk cost.

Qu Jianlei selected the target and walked around quietly. At that moment, the tower's explosives exploded.

There is definitely a lot of explosives, and the power is astonishing, but compared to the huge tower, it is still a little small.

The sealed three Taoist Sect firmly locked the impact of Fire Explosion in the tower, and also accumulated huge energy.

If you look carefully, you can see a slight bulge at the bottom of the tower.

The bulging occurred twice, almost continuously, and was accompanied by an extremely slight tremor.

This was caused by the two detonations of the explosive and Energy Block. Although it was slight, it contained huge fluctuations in the amount of Great Expert.

It is impossible to hide this kind of fluctuation from Ability Warrior present, even if the battlefield is very chaotic.

However, this was just an appetizer. The next moment, the entire tower began to fluctuate violently.

This kind of fluctuation shocked everyone present, including the soldiers who were fighting, and their movements couldn't help but stagnate.

Baldy is relatively sensitive. The first wave of explosions alarmed him and he turned around and ran away without thinking.

Fire Attribute Supreme, which was suspended in the air, also noticed something was wrong.

He couldn't care less about such trivial matters as Black Sky, and turned around in shock.

Immediately afterwards, the bottom of the huge tower exploded, and metal fragments flew away with a speed comparable to that of a bullet.

Immediately, the Fire Explosion at the bottom climbed up from bottom to top, like a rolling earth dragon, jumping straight to the top of the tower.

A series of Fire Explosion made everyone at the scene instantly understand, "This is self-destruction!"

Self-destruction works from bottom to top, functionally speaking, completely destroying the relay function of the tower.

From the perspective of Building 5, the destruction is not over.

The violent Fire Explosion caused the tower to sway, especially the violent Fire Explosion at the bottom, which caused the huge building to lose its support.

The tower swayed three or four times before finally tipping over and collapsing.

The collapse was slow at first, but became faster and faster, and in an instant it fell heavily to the ground with lightning speed.

After a muffled sound, the ground trembled, filled with smoke and dust, accompanied by blazing fire.

Fire Attribute Supreme was already Instant Flash more than a thousand meters away. Seeing this scene, he raised his hands slightly.

He originally wanted to clean up the scene - it was impossible to stop the roll, but it was not difficult to clean up the scene.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he stopped trying: Relay Tower has been destroyed, what else is there to clean up? Qu Jianlei I am very fortunate that the direction of the collapse of the tower did not hit both sides of the battle.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to rescue anyone from between the two sides of the battle.

Just as the smoke filled the air, he relied on his memory Instant Flash to reach Fang Cao's side and lifted the person up with one hand.

Then he ducked and barely dodged a series of bullets.

This string of bullets was fired from a heavy machine gun, with a very large caliber, even comparable to Autocannon, and extremely lethal.

I don't know which Space Pirate is so conscientious that the tower collapsed, but he still wants to kill Fang Cao.

Obviously, although Fang Cao was not captured just now, Space Pirate already regarded him as a treasure, so he did not continue to make heavy attacks.

But at the same time, heavy weapons were still aimed at Fang Cao to prevent accidents, and they opened fire now.

Finally, Qu Jianlei's perception ability was good, and he rescued her in time enough, and took Fang Cao away in the most dangerous way.

Fang Cao was seriously injured, but she was still conscious. She knew that Black Sky's timely action allowed her to escape the disaster.

"Thank you very much. Could you please help me rescue Red Cloud as well?"

You really don't know what to say... Qu Jianlei was also a little speechless, "My Inner Breath is almost used up."

Fang Cao paused and sighed, "Red Cloud is in the military and is very popular."

Qu Jianlei thought about it and decided to take a risk. After all, Red Cloud also owed him a favor and there were still sunk costs.

Seriously, that guy is Pan Yifu. Whether he is working with Black Sky or Asking Heart Array, they are all working together as equals.

Regarding the distribution of results, he is also very careful about the distribution of results.

The cooperation between the two is quite tacit, and they have done some big things, not just for the purpose of capturing.

Whether it was the distribution of the spoils or the goal to be achieved regardless of the effort, the two of them discussed it.

In other words, they are brothers who have settled accounts. They may owe each other a little, but they are basically the same.

Since Old Pan doesn't owe him anything, then he can save her or not.

Qu Jianlei sighed softly, raised his hand and took out the Top Leader cannon, and with a flash of his body, he passed through the smoke.

The person guarding Red Cloud was Water Attribute Rank B Warrior. When he found that the tower collapsed, he was a little at a loss for a while.

He put a Laser Gun on Red Cloud's chest, looked around nervously, and then took out a Handheld Transceiver to call.

However, in Handheld Transceiver now, there are too many various calls and it is extremely confusing.

Moreover, the collapse of the tower caused complex electromagnetic fluctuations and reactions, which had a great impact on various electronic equipment.

This Water Attribute Rank B Space Pirate could not contact anyone else, and he did not dare to deal with Red Cloud casually, so he could only hold on to Laser Gun in his hand.

The next moment, he was in a daze. When he came to, he found that the muzzle of the gun was pointed to the side inexplicably.

A young man stood in front of him, with the Top Leader cannon pressed squarely against his forehead.

He couldn't help but moan. "No!"

However, at this moment, it was too late to say anything. Qu Jianlei pulled the trigger without expression.

The first shot did not blow the opponent's head. The huge impact made Space Pirate take two steps back.

But the muzzle of the gun still did not leave his forehead, and the other party's body followed him like a shadow.

Space Pirate's heart skipped a beat and he pressed the Laser Gun in his hand.

Unfortunately, the muzzle of the gun was blocked by the opponent's body, and the Laser Beam it fired didn't even know where it hit.

This is futile venting. In this kind of smoke and dust, the laser attenuates very quickly, making it difficult to accidentally injure others.

The next moment, the hand cannon sounded again. This time, his defense finally failed and his head exploded.

Qu Jianlei put away the hand cannon, holding Fang Cao in one hand and Red Cloud in the other, and flashed out like a ghost.

However, just as he rushed out of the smoke, he noticed a gaze from above glanced at him coldly.

He was stunned for a moment, put down the two people in his hands, and bowed slightly to the figure in the sky, "Bolt has seen the Supreme."

The supreme man frowned slightly, "Whose person are you?"

"I belong to the Gardening Department," Qu Jianlei replied respectfully, "Pan Yifu and Black Sky looted our Archive Room..."

"Archive Room of the Gardening Department?" The Supreme Being was a little surprised when he heard this.

But the next moment, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't wait too long, send it to Prisoner of War Camp as soon as possible."

In his perception, the other party was just a C-level Earth Attribute. Although it was insignificant, it was enough to transport these two people.

As for these two prisoners being Rank A, they might be worthy of attention in normal times, but now... that's all.

In the eyes of the Supreme, Rank A is not much better than Rank B.
