As the last military truck passed through, Wu Lian commanded, "Close the gate!"
The soldiers quickly closed the gate, killing the remaining deformed monsters that managed to get past the gate.
Bam!
As the gate slammed shut behind them, Yao Ran turned her attention to Long Yu and checked him over with concern.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she checked his pulse.
Long Yu clasped her hands and reassured her, "I'm fine. I just need some rest."
Relieved to see his complexion improving, she said in a heavy tone, "You shouldn't take such risks."
Looking at her concern, Long Yu wiped some black, sticky blood from her face with his fingers and said, "The situation was dangerous—I had no choice."
Though Yao Ran understood his reasoning, she couldn't help feeling uneasy. Overusing his energy could have dire consequences for his body and life span.
