Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 680 Destruction of the Building

Outside the Gate

Neo and Mike had finally reached the gate. They were elated when they saw that there were only a few monsters left from this place. Right now, all they wanted was to have a good rest after the long fight.

"Mike, Neo!" Dean hurriedly called the medical team to check up on these two. Seeing the wounds on their body, he felt that it was truly a miracle that they were still alive. The medical quickly treated Neo's feet and Mike's arm. From the way it looked like, they wouldn't be able to recover soon enough.

"This is going to be hurt," Patrick frowned when he noticed the condition of Mike's fist.

Mike smiled wryly. "I'll recover soon enough to take over my work again, Elder Patrick."

"You better be," Patrick nodded his head slightly.

Suddenly, they saw smoke coming from the direction of the forest. Some of them looked with pale expression as they knew that the building was located in the forest. If it was destroyed, what would their fate be?

"They'll be fine," Patrick said. It was not known whether he was saying those words to reassure himself or other people.

"Kevin and Kanae are fighting Ferdinand in the tower," Neo pointed to the tower. His expression changed slightly when he felt the pain on his feet from the doctor's treatment. "They're not in the building anymore."

"How about Jason?" Patrick asked.

"That…" Neo shut his mouth. He didn't see Jason coming with Kevin and Kanae, so it was possible that Jason was still in the building. If that was true, they might need to deploy more people to check on the place.

As they were debating whether they should go there or not, someone ran in their direction at high speed. Many of them were martial artists who have quite a high skill, so they immediately recognized Jason with someone on his back. From the way Jason ran, it seemed that he was in panic.

"Call the ambulance, NOW!" Jason yelled even before he could reach the place.

Hearing his words, many of them scampered around to call the medical team and prepared the ambulance. By the time Jason reached the gate, the ambulance and doctors were ready.

"Who is the patient?"

Jason pointed his chin to his back. "Shiro Servo, he's suffering from numerous broken bones and burns. I need him to be treated right away!"

"Yes, Sir!"

The doctor took out the bed and carefully placed Shiro on top of the bed. The man's complexion was still extremely pale with blood covered most of his body. Right now, he was unconscious, so he didn't feel any of the pain. His chest was still moving up and down, but it was very weak.

"Jason, who is this?" Patrick asked. He had never seen this man before in the clan, so he felt unfamiliar with the man.

"He's the infirmary doctor in our previous school," Neo recognized the man instantly. Because they had to visit Tommy a few times in infirmary, it was easy for him to remember the face of the doctor who usually stayed in that place.

"His name is Shiro," Jason replied. "But he's more known as Shin in Black Street."

Neo nearly jolted up from his position. If it was not because the doctor was still holding onto his feet, he would run towards Jason and screamed to this man's ears.

The name Shin has always been a mystery for him. The fourth member of Fiore Group rarely showed his appearance, making everyone confused about his real countenance. Except for the fact that Shin was someone who has excellent skill in sniping, there was not much information.

Right now, he was on the verge of crying. He was elated when he managed to find out that Tommy belonged to Fiore Group. But when he found out that Jason was also part of them, he was stumped. Afterward, Kevin told him that Kanae was also part of them, which nearly shocked him to death. Now, he found out that the last one was also someone he knew.

Someone, please knock me out!

If he knew that every single one of them were people around him, he wouldn't have been elated when he found out about Tommy. If only there was a hole near him, he would surely dig a large hole to hide his face.

"That's really a surprise," Mike commented.

"You're only surprised?" Patrick eyed Mike curiously.

Mike shrugged. He didn't really care for things like this. "Things that require the brain have never been my forte. There's no need for me to force myself to guess them when I barely do any research."

Neo: "…" just kill me now.

He had researched about them days and nights. If only he knew that they were people around him, he would just ask them about their group. Not that they would tell him, but it was better than trying to guess when the real one was standing right in front of him.

While Neo was lamenting, Shiro was taken to the ambulance. His condition was critical, but he was still breathing. At least, it didn't seem like he would die anytime soon. Jason decided to come along as one doctor also followed after him to check on his wounds. They departed to hospital when the earth shook once again.

"There are so many earthquakes," Patrick frowned. Just how many bombs and buildings were destroyed today?

Neo averted his eyes to the tower. His eyes widened when he saw the building's structure collapsed. Thousands of rubbles fell on the ground along with the glasses and many others. His expression turned pale immediately.

"BOOOSSSSS!" Neo sprang up from his position, which hurt his feet. Even before one step, he had fallen to the ground.

Not far from him, Mike, Lou, and Patrick had run towards the tower as if their lives depended on it. There was only one thing in their mind, which was the safety of their leader. Seeing them already reached far away, Neo cursed internally. His feet were hurt so badly that he couldn't feel them anymore.

'Move!' He thought as he propped himself to stand up. Anxiousness filled his entire face as he wanted nothing but reaching the tower this instant.

"Get to my back," Dean crouched down in front of Neo. "You're just going to aggravate your wounds if you move."

Gritting his teeth, Neo climbed on Dean's back. They quickly ran towards the place while many other people followed behind them. The only thing in their mind right now was how to make sure that their leader was still alive and kicking.

As they arrived in the place, the entire palace had collapsed entirely. Patrick raised his spear angrily and attacked the rubble in front of him, making them fly everywhere.

"Ouch!" the leader was stunned to see all of them did their best to dig the rubbles. Using their weapon or their hand, they were very busy.

From behind him, Alice stepped forward and started moving the rubbles bit by bit. She didn't have much strength, so she could only move the smaller one. The one who moved the rubbles the most was Patrick as he attacked furiously along with Lou.

"We only have 15 minutes," Neo said worriedly. "If they got buried more than that, the chance to stay alive is very small."

"Isn't that for avalanche case?"

"it's the same here."

"No, it's not, you Idiot!"

In frustration, they started to curse one another. The height of the rubbles was not small as there were a lot of floors that fell down. This would make their work much longer.

…

(A/N): In case you didn't know, after an avalanche, it's best to take the person out within 15 minutes after he/she was buried or the chance to survive will be close to zero.
