Cave Refuge

As the Imperial Court gradually restored contact with various bases, the strength of the Officials at the Magic Capital Base was also constantly increasing.

Although with time passing by, Extraordinary Professions were gradually becoming mainstream. The Imperial Court had yet to give up on the development of technology. Although firearms were becoming increasingly ineffective due to their fixed damage, cold weapons began to take the main stage as they could receive supernatural enhancements.

However, the Imperial Court had not chosen to completely abandon firearms but instead, by combining them with Extraordinary Professions, began to remodel them.

The handgun that Mr. Thompson held in his hand was actually a new weapon developed by the Imperial Court.

This newly developed handgun could injure Martial Artists in the Energy Refining Realm who were originally immune to handgun threats.

Upon realizing that the door was opened from the outside, Mr. Thompson naturally took out his handgun, ready to counterattack.

The door had just opened, and since the person outside was enveloped in light, Mr. Thompson could not see clearly who was standing outside at that moment.

Just as Mr. Thompson was about to ask who it was, Dong Tianyu closed the door immediately after entering the room.

However, what Mr. Thompson and Dong Tianyu did not expect was that even though Dong Tianyu had closed the door, the light engulfing his body did not immediately vanish like mist, but instead, seemed to gulp in the surrounding light, gradually getting stronger.

While Mr. Thompson was hesitating whether to shoot in probing, he heard the voice of the person shrouded in light, Dong Tianyu's voice: "Dad, the light from outside seems to be acting abnormally; the thick curtains can no longer block it. We should hide in the underground drainage tunnel before anything unusual happens."

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu's voice from within the light, Mrs. Thompson immediately stepped out of the room without waiting for Mr. Thompson to speak.

Since she did not know that Dong Tianyu was the one who had opened the door just now and to avoid disturbing Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Thompson had hidden in the bedroom.

Now, hearing her son's voice, Mrs. Thompson hurried out of the bedroom. She was about to say something when she left the room, but then she saw a dazzling ball of light and couldn't see her son's figure at all.

Just after closing the door, Dong Tianyu also realized that even though he had closed the door, the light surrounding his body still had not dissipated. Observing Mrs. Thompson exiting the bedroom through his Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu immediately warned:

"Mom and Dad, there seems to be something wrong with the sunlight outside. Please put on your sunglasses quickly. We need to hide in the underground drainage tunnel immediately."

After hearing the reminder from Dong Tianyu, the couple quickly donned the sunglasses that Dong Tianyu had given them. Even with the sunglasses on, when they looked towards the light, they could only see a vague silhouette and could not see Dong Tianyu standing in the circle of light.

After confirming that Father Dong and Mother Dong had put on their sunglasses using his Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu continued: "Mom and Dad, let's hold hands and I will lead you both downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Thompson suddenly recalled a horror movie he had seen and started to doubt whether the person standing in the light circle was really his son.

Before Mr. Thompson could speak, perhaps because Dong Tianyu closed the door, cutting off the connection between the room and the outside world, the light that had enveloped Dong Tianyu, although expanding in coverage, rapidly faded in brightness along with the expansion.

Before Mr. Thompson could speak, the light that had surrounded Dong Tianyu gradually faded until it disappeared.

When the light finally vanished, Mr. Thompson could see Dong Tianyu's figure clearly, and then he put the handgun he had taken out back into the Storage space.

Seeing the light surrounding him disappear, Dong Tianyu interrupted Father Dong and Mother Dong, who were about to ask questions, saying anxiously:

"Mom and Dad, now is not the time for idle chat. The outside is already completely covered in light. You saw how it was when I entered just now. While it's only a little bright outside and other dangers haven't appeared, let's quickly move to the underground drainage tunnel. The curtain that was installed before is of no use now."

After Dong Tianyu finished speaking, Father Dong and Mother Dong looked in the direction Dong Tianyu was pointing and directly gazed at the window sill that was covered by the thick curtain cloth.

The thick curtain cloth, which was supposed to completely block the outdoor sunlight, was emitting a soft white glow. Mother Dong had been reluctant to hang these thick curtains precisely because they could completely block out the outdoor sunlight.

But now, the curtains that Dong Tianyu had pinned his hopes on seemed as if they were about to be penetrated by the light.

Seeing such a scene, Father Dong and Mother Dong became somewhat anxious and quickly donned their sunglasses. Then the three of them didn't truly hold hands but tied a rope around each other's waists, linking themselves together with the rope.

"Mom and Dad, when we go downstairs later, we'll walk along the stairs. If you can't find the handrail, you can follow the rope around your waist and put your hand on the shoulder of the person in front.

I'll lead, Mom you're in the middle, and Dad you cover our back, is that alright?"

The old couple naturally had no objections to Dong Tianyu's arrangement.

After Dong Tianyu tied the three of them together with the rope, he immediately opened the door and led the way out.
