No more rain fell in the sky, and the thick dark clouds gradually dispersed. When the clouds open and the fog disperses, the golden sunlight shines on a waterhole in the submerged mining area, and the water waves circulate and sparkle, reflecting a good scene of golden light.

A faint rainbow appeared in the far eastern sky. The guards who survived the bitter rain looked sideways at the beautiful rainbow light. The dust in the air was all carried to the ground by a heavy rainstorm, and the air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and a breath seemed to make people deaf and clear.

The aftermath of the battle began in the busy afternoon, as the flooding hole of the mine had not yet been drained, and the miners were temporarily suspended and moved to the higher ground of the mine to rest and stand by.

Morley and other soldiers who had survived the battle and still had more physical strength left, carried the guards who had fallen into the waterhole to the high ground one by one. Some of them were hit by the high-pressure water spears of the water spear pit viper, and when they died for a long time, their bodies were soaked in the water; Some of them had neurotoxins in their bodies and were carried back to the camp in time for other soldiers, but unfortunately the heart and brain stopped moving for too long, and the treatment was ineffective.

Six bodies lined up on the high ground of the mine, and the guards led by Morley covered them with white cloth and observed a minute of silence in memory of their sacrifice.

Miranda stood beside Molly, her face not very good. Originally, like these six soldiers, she had to set foot on Huangquan Road. Because she was hit with a neurotoxin in the last two minutes before the end of the fight.

Fortunately, she already has a poison-related ability, and the pioneer cells in her body contain more or less a bit of this ability virus, and she has a weak resistance to nerve snake venom. It was this weak resistance that helped her comatose buy the most critical time.

After the battle, the soldiers extracted the serum of the water spear pit viper as fast as they could, and the only person who was rescued by the serum was Miranda.

Wu Qi and his men stood by their tents, keeping a distance from the corpses of the six soldiers and Morley and the others. Wu Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest, silently glanced at the six pieces of white cloth, looked up at the golden sun, and returned to the camp.

Wu Qi went back, and Gao Yuan, Guo Baibai, and Krees also returned to the camp one after another. The little red fox walked lightly and wagged his tail into the tent.

After Morley and the soldiers finished their silent mourning, Morley was the first to turn back to look for Wu Qi. Wu Qi and the others had just left, and Mo Li looked around, but he didn't see the shadow of Wu Qi and the others.

Now there are only 11 guards left guarding the mining area, and 5 of them belong to Wu Qi's team, while Molly's side, including him and Miranda, is only 6 people. In terms of numbers, Morley's side no longer has an advantage over Wu Qi's team. The number of soldiers who can carry out his orders is insufficient, and he, the captain, is naturally not as powerful as before.

Not only that, Mo Li vaguely felt that after the battle of the Water Spear Viper, the attitude of the remaining four soldiers towards the people of Wu Qi's team began to change a little. He couldn't help this, and the outcome of the battle was the same.

In the battle of the Water Spear Viper, he Morley played almost no role, both in command and in combat. On the contrary, Wu Qi single-handedly reversed the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop, forcibly pulling the escort back from the brink of mission failure. The shocking wounds on Wu Qi's body were all his medals, and the remaining 4 soldiers were not blind.

Wu Qi completely showed his strength in front of all the members of the escort team, and at this moment, no one among the soldiers dared to doubt Wu Qi's strength and sense of responsibility for the escort mission. Even if Morley and Miranda were reluctant, they had to obey Wu Qi once.

The successive defeats and setbacks did not make Morley more crazy, on the contrary, he calmed down. Calm people are more likely to be self-aware, and Morley understands that his title of captain no longer has any suppressive power on Wu Qi. As for retaliating for that kick and that blow up. Bullets, not to mention.

Morley predicted that the best case scenario would be that Wu Qi was not interested in managing the escort team, but would not easily drive him again; In a worse case, Wu Qi will be on an equal footing with him; In the worst-case scenario, Wu Qi will directly take over the right to speak for the mine guards.

After all, in the unpredictable predicament of life and death, the power brought by the system is far less powerful than the security brought by the fist, which can make the stragglers flock to it.

Mo Li turned around quietly, ignoring Wu Qi and the others. He gave an order: as soon as the flooding hole in the mine area was dry, he would return to the mine to put things in order.

The convoy and miners waited for the pool to dry up for an afternoon, during which time the convoy did not fight a single plague species. All the plague species near the mine stopped at the sight of the waterhole that flooded the mine, or hesitated at the edge of the forest for a long time before returning to the forest.

The soldiers, who had been so shocked by the horrors of the enemy attack and the death of their comrades, were able to rest for the afternoon, and the miners were also frightened, which really eased their panicked and restless minds. Wu Qi and the others also stayed in the tent for an afternoon, and the others took turns to take turns so that Wu Qi could sleep a long afternoon, and the cells in his body would recover quickly, ensuring that he could recover his spirit and strength as quickly as possible.

Before you know it, night falls. The waterhole beneath the mine has finally dried up, leaving only a few small puddles. The miners worked overtime to check for problems with the machines, and the convoy began to stand guard and guard the line of defense that was doubly difficult in the dark night.

Morley personally stood on the first shift. The lack of numbers made him change his policy, and the 11 soldiers except Wu Qi's war pets were exactly 10 people, and they were on duty at night in two teams.

On the other side, in the camp tent of Wu Qi and his party.

Wu Qi just woke up from the bed. He got up, Guo Baibai thoughtfully brought the saved dinner to Wu Qi, Wu Qi said thank you, quickly solved the food and water for dinner, and replenished energy for the hungry body.

The voice of a soldier sounded outside the curtain.

"Hello, can I come in now?"

"Come in." Wu Qi said lightly.

A soldier opened the curtain and walked in. Gao Yuan was sitting in the corner reading a book, Krees was wiping the silver saber, Guo Baibai was feeding the little red fox and the little jerky, only Wu Qi turned his head to look at him.

The soldier held a rolled-up gray cloth in his hand. He showed an embarrassed smile, took a few steps closer, bowed slightly, and handed a roll of cloth in his hand to Wu Qi.

"Brother Wu, this is the electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle that Captain Morley confiscated from you before, and now I will return it to you."

Wu Qi's expression was as flat as water, and he said, "Captain Morley has figured it out, we are not suspicious?" ”

The soldier smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Wu is joking, you are the life-saving benefactor of the whole mining area, without your credit, the escort mission would have failed a long time ago." How could a soldier like you, who had achieved great military achievements, kill an unrelated soldier? ”

Wu Qi opened the roll cloth, and there were four electromagnetic kinetic energy rifles with clean bodies placed in it.

Wu Qi raised his head and glanced at the soldier who had returned with the gun, and he had the impression that the soldier's face was the soldier who had spied on him for Morley.

Since Mo Li sent the electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle back, it means that he took the initiative to lower his posture.

Although Morley is hateful, the escort mission continues, and Wu Qi doesn't want to waste time on some meaningless troubles.

"Got it, you can go back." Wu Qi put away the roll cloth and said.
