Chapter 215: Chapter 216: Jotaro’s Countermeasure, Feverish Nezuko Shinobu was originally in the room handling affairs, but the explosion sound coming from the island startled her. She quickly came to the deck, only to see flames soaring into the sky in the center of the island, purple poisonous gas spreading rapidly around. "Jotaro-san, Nezuko..." Her bright eyes were filled with worry, but she did not panic because of it. Instead, she quickly took out the communicator Jotaro had left behind and tried to contact him. After a burst of noisy static, the communicator finally connected. The tense nerves of Shinobu finally relaxed, letting out a breath of relief. "We’re fine." From the other side came Jotaro’s reassuring voice, "The ground is scorching hot. We need to wait until the ground cools down before we can move." After saying that, Jotaro cut off the communication. The explosion power of the slime was enormous; in the center of the blast, it was almost impossible for anything to survive. Jotaro as well. But he still narrowly survived this crisis. The moment he realized the situation was dire, he used Star Platinum to stop time. In a mere ten seconds, trying to escape from the explosion’s center to a safe zone was definitely unrealistic. Jotaro never planned to run from the start. With time limited, he wouldn’t consider such hopeless possibilities. He made a decisive choice, not wasting even a single second, and in the fastest time dug out an underground tunnel, bringing Nezuko and the others all down. At that time, if he had wasted even one millisecond, casualties might have occurred. The underground tunnel helped them avoid most of the explosion’s damage. However, as the explosion continued, the ground temperature suddenly rose and quickly spread underground. Helpless, Jotaro could only go deeper down. "Almost enough." Above, there had been no movement for a long time; it was estimated that the crust had already cooled. Jotaro planned to go up first to take a look, turning back to instruct, "You all wait here." Nami and Miss Wednesday curled up to the side, hugging their knees, not saying anything. The two were clearly terrified by the horrible explosion above. Nezuko struggled to lift her head, wanting to tell Jotaro to be careful, but at this moment even speaking, this simplest of actions, seemed to consume all her strength. She seemed to be in the cold bottom of the sea, her whole body wrapped in darkness and heaviness, unable to move an inch. No one noticed her face at this moment was frighteningly pale, without a trace of blood, with fine cold sweat beading on her forehead. Mr. 9’s attention was all on Jotaro, his gaze following him as he climbed up. This underground tunnel was both deep and spacious. He never thought one day he would be shocked by such a thing. "What kind of person is this guy..." His lips trembled, Adam’s apple rolling up and down. This more-than-200-meter-deep tunnel was instantly dug out by this guy. If not for him, this group of theirs would already be dead. Mr. 9’s heart was filled with emotion, secretly wiping away tears. He and Jotaro had only just met not long ago, and previously were still enemies. Yet at such a dangerous time, Jotaro had not forgotten to save his life. "As long as I can live and return today, from now on you’re my boss!" Mr. 9 secretly thought in his heart. Thud! Nezuko’s eyes scattered, finally collapsing to the ground. Her expression was pained, her breathing weak, like a flame in the wind that might go out at any time. "Nezuko?" Seeing this, Nami rushed over, quickly helping her up. "What’s wrong with her?" Miss Wednesday’s face was full of worry. Her fair, tender palm pressed to Nezuko’s forehead, and the scorching heat from it gave her a fright. "So hot, how can it be like this?" Her clear watery eyes were full of pity, her whole person panicking, not knowing what to do. "What should we do?" Miss Wednesday truly cared about Nezuko. On Jotaro’s ship, besides her partner Mr. 9, the only one she could really talk to was this simple good girl. During this period, it had always been Nezuko taking care of them. Cold-faced Jotaro gave people a feeling of "strangers, do not approach," and with such terrifying strength, Miss Wednesday didn’t dare rashly get close to him. Shinobu, though gentle and patient, most of the time had her own things to do. Nami was also good, but she always liked to order people around. Going to talk to her, she would definitely assign other tasks. Only Nezuko was the closest one to her. She still remembered one night when she was worried about her hometown and in a bad mood, leaning on the railing for comfort, Nezuko had seen through her troubles. Afterward she comforted her, saying Jotaro was trustworthy and would definitely send her back as soon as possible. Thinking of Nezuko’s brilliant smile, Miss Wednesday’s eyes turned moist at the corners. "Nami... Nezuko will definitely be fine, right?" Nami looked at her expectant gaze, nodding heavily, also constantly comforting herself in her heart. "That’s right, maybe it’s just acclimatization, that’s why she has a fever." The ground temperature returned to normal. Looking at the poisonous gas lingering above, Jotaro shook his head and went back underground. "The high temperature has already receded, but the surroundings are full of poison gas. Let’s wait here a bit longer." He noticed the group gathered together, their faces somewhat abnormal, and frowned, asking, "What’s wrong?" Miss Wednesday bit her lower lip tightly, forcing back tears. "Jotaro, Nezuko seems to have fallen sick." "Let me see." Jotaro said in a deep voice. His tone was low, but carried an undeniable urgency. He quickly walked to Nami’s side, squatted down, and looked at the unconscious Nezuko. The usually cold, iron-like face now revealed a slight fluctuation. Miss Wednesday asked anxiously, "How is she?" After feeling the temperature with his palm, Jotaro’s brows knit tightly, saying in a deep voice, "We’re going back now!" Mr. 9 reminded, "Isn’t there poisonous mist outside?" "Now we can’t care about that. As for poison gas, as long as you don’t breathe it in, it’s fine." Jotaro directly lifted Nezuko into his arms, saying no more, rushing straight up the winding tunnel. Nami and Miss Wednesday pushed aside Mr. 9, closely following behind Jotaro. "What the heck, I also care about Nezuko, you know. Her condition is already so bad, what if she breathes in the poison gas above?" Mr. 9 muttered in a low voice, also slowly climbing up the tunnel. The high heat of the explosion had melted everything. The once lush jungle had long turned into a stretch of scorched earth. Before Nami and the others could even sigh, Jotaro’s low voice came. "Hurry and get in." He had already taken an off-road vehicle out from his space, placing Nezuko on the back seat. Now there was no other way, only to rush out of this poison zone at the fastest speed. Mr. 9’s eyes widened. ’Where did he get a car?’ Before he could ask, Nami roughly yanked him into the car. Once everyone was seated, Jotaro started the engine, speeding toward the shore. The off-road vehicle’s suspension was already good, plus with Star Platinum assisting on the side, one could say the whole ride was as smooth as walking on flat ground. Jotaro glanced in the rearview mirror at Nezuko, whose breathing was gradually weakening. Her body temperature was abnormally high. Even Ripple couldn’t ease her condition. What exactly was happening to Nezuko’s body? Right now, perhaps only Shinobu could figure it out. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
