"Mulberry."

When Li He opened his eyes, he subconsciously shouted.

Then he saw that extreme, and at the same time quite haggard face, when she heard Li He's voice and saw Li He's eyes, the big clear eyes that always looked at Li He with the same eyes as a younger brother welled up a lot of tears.

"Li He." Mulberry, who always seemed to be very rational, very intelligent and calm in front of Li He, called out Li He's name at the same time, and also wow and cried bitterly in front of Li He.

Li He didn't know what was wrong with the mulberry, the others were lying on their stomachs, they were all overwhelmed, and there was still a smoky pain on their backs. But she was lying right in front of him, her hair just below the tip of his nose, and he had never been so close to her. No, I remembered, yes, when he desperately threw her down, it was supposed to be the closest to her, but at that time, the loud explosion and the scorching wave of air almost made him unconscious.

Li Hao didn't know how to comfort Mulberry, he wanted to rub her hair, but he couldn't move with one hand in the pipe, and the other hand was very painful and couldn't move. He could only silently look at her twitching shoulders, quietly smelling the girl's hair that was mixed with the smell of sweat and gunsmoke but could still be captured.

After a long while, Sang Quinoa raised her head, still lying in front of Li He, almost nose to nose, she looked at Li He with crying red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "You know what? Li He, if you can't wake up, I won't have a family in this world. ”

Li He was silent, and Sang Quinoa's words made many images pass through his mind like a movie fast forward, and everything before he lost consciousness, he recalled. He remembered the back of the teacher who left resolutely with the gun after saying goodbye to them, the senior Ma Jie and Senior Sister Qinglan, who were not included in the teaching team because they were only one year older than them, and the red-haired and sunny big sister Captain Hailinga, those familiar faces stabbed him like knives.

"Where are we?" Li He asked weakly.

Sang Quinoa sniffled and leaned back a little, she didn't seem to be willing to go further away from Li He, just squatted in front of Li He's bed, and said, "The Santa Maria Navy hospital ship." ”

Li He remembered that before he was unconscious, Sang Quinoa was still wearing the long costume dress of the performance, and at this time, Sang Quinoa had changed into a military uniform, to be precise, a pair of combat pants and a black military short-sleeved T-shirt, his hair was scattered, and he still had a gun belt on his shoulder. However, perhaps it was a matter of angle, and Li He happened to see her from the neck down...... A piece of bulging bag. He blushed a little instantly, wanting to look away, but he was afraid of being discovered by Mulberry.

So he pretended to be tired, closed his eyes, and asked, "How many people have escaped?" ”

"Just the first batch of planes." Sang Quinoa said sadly: "Soon after we took off, the evacuation points in the mountains behind the fortress all fell, and the combined fleet, according to the instructions of Commander Liu, launched several tactical nuclear bombs with a yield of 10,000 tons on the island. Fortress...... No one will survive, teacher, Captain Hailingjia, and Commander Liu, seniors...... And many more ......"

Sang Quinoa said that he couldn't go on, Li He opened his eyes, his eyes no longer paid attention to anything else, just quietly looked at Sang Quinoa's face, he stretched out his right hand with many pipes, and said, "Come closer, let me touch your face." ”

Mulberry looked at him, smiled gently with red eyes, squatted and took two steps forward, and obediently put his face on his palm. Then he sighed faintly and said, "Li He, your palm is very warm." ”

Li He said: "We have to live. ”

Mulberry nodded.

Li He suddenly blurted out: "Mulberry, I like you!" ”

This was an accident for him, he wanted to say this sentence for a long time, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't know how to blurt it out at this time. But when he said it, he was a little weak-hearted, as if Sang Quinoa said just now that he would treat him as a family member, and based on Sang Quinoa's consistent performance, he knew that she regarded him more as a younger brother. He was suddenly a little entangled, and if he had something to say, there might not be a future.

Sang Quinoa was silent for a while, and just when Li He was full of regret, she suddenly sneered and said, "I haven't seen anyone lying on the hospital bed to confess." ”

In a word, Li He was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Li He heard the sound of pushing the door, and a young female voice said in English, "San, cooperate with me to change his dressing." ”

Li He couldn't see anyone, but he saw Mulberry standing up, and then in a rustling sound, Li He felt a cloth covering his body be lifted. Then the burns on his body were smeared, this is a Navy hospital ship, and it exists to treat soldiers who have been wounded in battle, and burns are the most common combat wounds. In other words, because of the symptoms, and advanced technology, instruments and equipment, Li He's injury healed quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have the strength to say so much to Sang Quinoa.

Of course, he can only be at the mercy of others now, the strange nurse's hands and feet are a little rude, and the rubbing medicine makes Li He's injury seem to be aggravated again. Then the nurse asked Sang Quinoa to take the handle, and the two of them turned Li He over and made him lie on his side, while the nurse continued to wipe the front of his body.

But wait...... The burn on his back made him numb and sluggish a little, but a chilling sensation in front of him made him suddenly realize that he was actually ...... Red fruit? And the mulberry just gave the nurse a hand, didn't he see everything? And more than once?

Li He felt that he was still sweating.

Soon the nurse finished her work and opened the door and left, Li He's mind was a little buzzing, and he couldn't hold back his words for a while.

Instead, Mulberry squatted in front of his bed again, and said with a smile: "I guess you also found out, you have been looked down by me...... Hahaha, don't worry, I'll be in charge. ”

With that, she happily stood up and began to clean up the ward. She had not been thinking until Li He woke up, and now she realized that the ward was in chaos.

The hospital ship had thousands of beds for wartime, but at this time, the real wounded on the whole ship were only Li He, so he was given a very large single room, which was only available to officers of the rank of colonel.

After Mulberry cleaned up the ward, he went into the bathroom and washed his face and tied his hair up. Then she went out to take out the garbage, and the meal arrived, and she hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and now she felt really hungry.

When she walked to the restaurant, it was time to eat, and she consciously found their line at the back. There weren't many people on the boat, and it was a rescue boat that was supposed to receive 500 people, but it only ended up being about 80. They continued to maintain the previous establishment, and the current commander was Warrant Officer Zhao Rui, who had served as an adjutant to Li Liancheng and Hai Lingjia, and Sang Quinoa was also a key member. But she had been stuffed in Li He's hospital room before, and her will was relatively depressed.

"Mulberry." Gao Yang took the dinner plate, sat opposite the mulberry, and said, "It seems that Li He is recovering well." ”

"Hmm." Sang Quinoa smiled slightly and said, "It's just that there are more words." But it's inevitable, Brother Gao Yang, do you know where we're going? Gao Yang was a whole round older than her, and she couldn't call him by his name no matter what.

Gao Yang said with a somewhat solemn expression: "As far as I can see, we have been going around in circles on the sea. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It is estimated that our fate is being discussed, and there should be no agreement yet, so there is no place to receive us."

"Understood." Mulberry smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The people on the ship shouldn't be very kind to us, right?" ”

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Definitely." The results may be coming soon, and from this morning the ship is heading inland in the hope of a relatively safe place to receive us. ”

"What's a safe place?" Mulberry's tone was soft, but full of sadness, she lowered her head, looked at her plate, and said, "Isn't the Paradise Island Fortress strong enough?" But overnight ......" her tears fell again, but she wiped them away with her hands, and she turned her head and changed the subject, asking, "Who is that man?" ”

Gao Yang turned his head to look and found that Sang Quinoa was looking at a young man who was following Zhao Rui, so he said, "Oh, that person's name is Zhuo Kairen, and he is the only survivor outside the fortress on Paradise Island. After our plane flew out of the fortress, he chased it all the way to the beach in a police explosion-proof car, firing warning shots all the way. Then a helicopter on our flank reversed, hovered in the sky, and pulled him up with a rope ladder. ”

"Just him?"

"According to him, he also had a companion in the car at the time, but their car had been in a continuous collision and his companion's leg was stuck in the car and he couldn't get out."

"The only survivor outside the fortress? It's amazing. Brother Gao Yang, I'm full. ”

"Okay, Warrant Officer Zhao Rui called a meeting of everyone in the evening, you are the backbone, don't be absent anymore."

Sang Quinoa nodded silently, most of the more than 80 people who escaped were the children and teachers selected after the establishment of the teaching team, and her classmates either failed to escape to the evacuation point, or seniors like Ma Jie and Zheng Qinglan were no longer on the first batch of evacuation lists because they were over 16 years old, and they couldn't come later.

Although Warrant Officer Zhao Rui served as Li Liancheng's adjutant, Sang Quinoa was not familiar with him. It can be said that in addition to Li He here, Gao Yang is the person she is most familiar with.

Tonight's meeting is probably also about their future fate. If Li He can't wake up, to be honest, she is a little bit of a child, she has experienced so many things and seen so many deaths, in fact, she has no will to survive left. Fortunately, Li He woke up and recovered well.

Mulberry returned to Li He's hospital room after eating, and Li He fell asleep again. She wanted to laugh a little at the thought of how embarrassed his face had turned black before. In the midst of such desperate sorrow, this was probably the only thing that could make her feel better.

Li He slept, and Mulberry habitually checked the potion that Li He was hanging, and then checked the guns and ammunition that had been distributed. In addition to the M92 pistol she had hanging from her armpit, there was also an UMP45, and an SR-99 sniper rifle belonging to her. If it weren't for the celebration rehearsal, she would have been a sniper of the Hawkeye unit of the fortress, and now, in order to maintain the integrity of the teaching team, Warrant Officer Zhao Rui appointed her as the leader of the sniper team.

She didn't pay attention to it before, but now, she took out her sniper rifle and wiped it gently, with a lot of emotions in her heart, as if there were no emotions at all.

The boat shook slightly.
