Chapter 2: The Wounded Girl
"Wow, ahhhh Yuichi screamed and ran forward, the girl in his arms remained motionless, Yuyi swept it with his afterglow, and the girl closed her eyes tightly, as if she was unconscious.
Why did this happen to me?
As if echoing Yuichi's inner shout, there was a constant burst of gunfire behind him, and holes were constantly opening in the objects around him.
The girl in his arms greatly interfered with Yuichi's running speed, but Yuichi had no intention of putting the girl down and running away on his own.
If it hadn't been for the girl who pounced on him just now, maybe at this moment, he would have been turned into a corpse by the bullets that followed.
No matter what kind of psychology he had, asking him to abandon the people who had helped him and run away without permission, Yuichi couldn't do it!
And so this happened.
"You have to find a way to escape the pursuit of those behind you."
Yuichi thought so, and in the face of the fork that appeared in front of him, he ran to the left without hesitation.
And the bullets that came immediately shot into the ground beneath his feet at the moment he turned, adding dozens of craters to it.
It's a place where there are no people, otherwise I could have taken refuge in a crowded place!
Yuichi silently complained about the street designer in his heart, but then he chose to face this fact, and in his heart, he was also thinking about something.
"Dada......"
The gunfire continued, and the sound of bullets hitting the chamber of the gun was non-stop.
And when such a crash sound reached Yuichi's ears, something was already clear to him.
"×× pistol-type micro-charge, with a magazine of thirty rounds, can shoot eight rounds in one second, and listening to this subtle echo, the pursuer should be dual-wielding submachine guns."
These thoughts flashed through Yuichi's mind, and he had already calculated his escape route at a rapid pace.
At the fork in front, Yuichi turned to the right.
"Ten more bullets ......"
Yuichi's ears moved sensitively, and he jumped the moment the gunfire stopped abruptly.
The manhole cover in front of him opened automatically as if it were alive, and Yuichi jumped in without hesitation.
And the manhole cover closed automatically after Yuichi had completely jumped in.
This seemingly simple action has been carefully thought out by Yuichi.
First, Yuichi judged the type of gun of the pursuer, and silently calculated in his mind how many bullets the other party had left.
Then, when the bullets were exhausted and the pursuer needed to switch magazines, he jumped into the sewers that he knew would appear in advance.
Because the pursuer's attention was not on the two of them the moment he felt the magazine from his waist.
It was precisely by using the principle of attention diversion that Yuichi dared to jump off without hesitation.
And his actions also gave the pursuer the illusion that the target was missing.
"...... Uproar"
This is the sound of Yu'ichi trampling the water flow when he steps on the underground waterway with his legs.
However, Yuichi didn't dare to move for the time being, because he knew that as long as he moved, he would make a sound.
Although this sound becomes very faint when passing through the manhole cover, it is enough to hear an experienced killer to lock on to the target's location.
"Hoo ......"
Yuichi exhaled, then held his breath and listened intently to the movement on the ground while standing motionless.
"Knock knock!" It was the sound of leather boots stomping on the concrete, as if the pursuers were frustrated that they had lost their target.
"Bang dang!" The sound of submachine guns smashing on the ground was heard from above.
It seems that this pursuer is still a violent temper.
Yuichi thought so, and continued to listen.
......A few seconds later, the sound of leather boots hitting the ground was heard again, and they were moving away at the same time.
"Whew......" Yuichi took a deep breath and spit it out with relief.
It seems that the pursuers have left.
He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms.
He wanted to see what kind of person he was in such a dangerous situation.
What a cute girl.
This is Yuichi's first impression.
The girl in his arms seemed to be asleep, and the expression on her face was very peaceful, and there was no tension at all about being chased and killed.
The slightly peachy skin, delicate and lovely face, and the bangs that have become a little messy because of the bumps in the running all add a bit of cuteness to it.
The golden ponytail hangs naturally on the other side of Yuichi's arm.
The ponytail is not very long, keeping it at a playful length, but it does not affect the flexibility of action in any way.
The most noteworthy thing is the girl's clothes, which seem to be the school uniform of a certain middle school, Yuichi just feels a little familiar, but he can't figure out which school it is.
Thinking of this, Yuichi's gaze naturally panned downward, and he saw where the girl should have been full.
However, both visually and from the sense of touch coming from his chest, Yuichi came to the same conclusion:
There's really nothing to do......
Yuichi turned his head, but suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be something bright red on his hand.
You consciously raised his palm, but found it
That's blood!
The girl was shot in the back!
Then Yuichi thought of a scene, and that was the scene where the girl pounced on him.
The girl pounced on him in a position facing him, and if there was no danger behind her, she would not have made such a dangerous move.
Because after falling to the ground, it is difficult to move quickly in a short period of time.
Combined with the bullets that followed the girl, Yuichi can conclude:
The girl was shot to save herself!
Just imagine, if the girl had run directly past Yuichi's side at that time, she could have temporarily used Yuichi as her shield, at least she would have been safe for the few seconds when Yuichi was shot and fell.
But she didn't do that, and in the choice between life and death, she even wanted to save a stranger who she didn't know at the cost of hurting herself.
Maybe the girl was shaken at that time, but so what, the fact that the girl saved him will not change.
"Since she's done this, I can't sit idly by."
With such a thought, Yuichi immediately took action, holding the girl to the side, his legs colliding with the water flow of the underground waterway, and constantly making a rattling sound.
"I'll have to get her to lie down first and stop the bleeding."
Yuichi set his sights on the slightly higher platforms on either side of the waterway, which were built to stabilize the flow of the water, in order to prevent the water from running around.
“……”
The platform, however, was damp.
Also, in a dark and damp underground waterway, it is not surprising that the platforms on both sides can be wet.
But this situation is very unoptimistic for Yuichi who wants to rescue the girl.
Because in the environment of underground waterways, if the wound on the girl's back comes into contact with the water, it will definitely get a bacterial infection.
And now it's too late to send the girl to the hospital, judging by the girl's injuries, she can't hold out until the moment she arrives at the hospital.
Now it is necessary to stop the bleeding immediately!
"Okay, okay...... Even if you sacrifice your life to save me, repay it. ”
After a few seconds of silence, Yuichi shook his head helplessly, took off the shoulder bag from his shoulder, and threw it directly on the damp platform regardless of the dirtiness of the groundwater.
The girl was then placed on his shoulder bag, face up.
The wound on the back is kept at a safe distance from the wet ground.
Next, it's time to rescue the girl!
