Once the guards fell into chaos, Lin Yu and Fu Luo were practically invisible to them.
As for Lin Yu at that moment...
Even with his strength restricted to "Tier 1," limited to the range Old Yao could control, he could still deal with these guards.
However, Lin Yu still chose not to do so.
Because that sort of thing was far too unlike Old Yao.
What he was doing now was taking advantage of the guards' confusion and their inability to spare any attention for him and Fu Luo, hurriedly pulling Fu Luo along as they fled underground.
Of course, since those people were completely caught up in the chaos, Lin Yu could also take his time planning their route.
He controlled the Earth-Evasion Talisman Armor, passing by the baseball cap and scooter Fu Luo had dropped along the way. After surfacing, he grabbed them both, then dragged them underground with him and followed the path they had already taken back into the research institute.
When he broke through the ground again with Fu Luo, his cap, and his scooter, Wang Jiu and Katie immediately came forward to meet them.
"You're back so soon!"
Wang Jiu exclaimed.
"Since it was the second time, I knew the way," Lin Yu said humbly as usual. "Anyway, everyone's safe now!"
Fu Luo shook the dirt out of his baseball cap and put it back on, then stored the scooter in the Item Space.
"Thanks to you, Old Yao. Otherwise, things would've turned out badly."
Hearing Fu Luo's heartfelt thanks, Lin Yu waved his hand. "Not at all, sir. Even without me coming to pick you up, you surely could've dealt with them without any trouble..."
"It's just that I was worried destroying those autonomous guards might trigger some kind of full-alert mode,"
