Chapter 19: Rescue
On the wet playground, humans seem to have returned to the ancient hunting era, relying on their own simple cold weapons to fight fierce beasts with sharp teeth. You are my prey, and I may be your prey, and the roles between the two will quickly switch in an instant.
Zhang Xueyan was dragged down the sewer by three large dogs in her struggle.
Wang Jia is about to die under the dog's mouth.
At this critical moment, a heavenly fire fell from the sky and ignited the big dog that bit Wang Jia's throat. The big dog's whole body was shrouded in heavenly fire, and soon the whole body was burned without leaving a trace, and the surrounding rain was also evaporated, forming a huge mist.
The dog that bit Wang Jia was pierced through the heart by a fruit knife that fell from the sky, and after struggling twice, he lay in the water and couldn't move.
The location of the downstairs steps of the dormitory.
Ma Jie held a lighter in his hand, and the lighter ignited a small flame, and it was just by relying on this small flame that he was able to send out the extremely high temperature of the heavenly fire. His face was full of fatigue at this point, and the outburst just now made him almost lose his strength.
Chen Ming looked at Ma Jie with a wary face, and the fruit knife that killed a big dog flew back to his side and swam around, which was both a guard and a warning.
It was this distraction that the three big dogs dragged Zhang Xueyan into the sewer and disappeared without a trace. There was only 1 dead dog and the injured Wang Jia left on the playground.
Zhu Neng also ran out of the dormitory at this time, he rushed into the rain and went straight to Wang Jia, who was lying on the ground. He forcefully pulled the mouth of the dead big dog apart, and carried Wang Jia, who was not lightly injured, back to the dormitory.
Ma Jie also followed into the dormitory, and Chen Ming hesitated for a moment and then stood guard at the door, guarding against other big dogs that might appear.
The sudden lights in the dormitory woke up Zhang Xueying from her sleep. She saw Wang Jia, whose shoulders were already flushed with red throughout her white pajamas, and Ma Jie, who was scrambling to find a first aid kit.
After Zhang Xueying got out of bed, she found that Zhang Xueyan of the same clan was no longer visible, and she suddenly felt bad in her heart, tears unconsciously flowed out of her eyes, and she sat on the edge of Wang Jia's bed and cried silently.
The house was in a hurry for a while before Wang Jia dealt with his injury, fortunately, Ma Jie is a physical education teacher and has learned some first aid knowledge and skills, otherwise he doesn't know what to do at this time.
Ma Jie asked Zhu Neng to take care of the two girls in the house, and he walked out of the house to look at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming carried a bench and sat at the door, and Mango patrolled nearby at Chen Ming's signal. Although it is a patrol, it is actually a blind walk, just hoping that Mango, who is also a dog, can find the traces of other big dogs in time and bark a few times to remind himself.
Chen Ming took out a few chocolate energy bars from his clothes and threw them to Ma Jie.
Ma Jie did not hesitate to eat the energy bar to replenish the energy gap in his body.
Chen Ming stared at Ma Jie and asked, "What were you just now?" ”
Ma Jie's face was anxious, and he replied quickly with the movements of his hands, almost making Chen Ming not react: "Aren't you the same?" Now is not the time to talk about this, Zhang Xueyan was dragged away, I have to save him, can you help me? ”
Chen Ming didn't hesitate, he stood up and walked to the sewer.
Ma Jie returned to the dormitory and asked Zhu Neng to lock all the doors and windows of the dormitory, so as not to let other big dogs have a chance to attack, and he and Chen Ming went to rescue Zhang Xueyan.
The young and vigorous Zhu Neng also wanted to go, but was stopped by Ma Jie. Ma Jie handed Zhu Neng a sharp kitchen knife from the kitchen, "If there are other big dogs before we come back, then you can only protect the two of them." If we can't come back, find a way to get them out of this place. ”
There was a kind of ominousness in Ma Jie's words, which made Zhu Neng's eyes red in an instant, and tears were almost out of the frame, and he gestured excitedly and said, "You will come back, without you, we will not go anywhere." ”
Ma Jie smiled and touched Zhu Neng's head, "What do you want?" Again, these are not last words. Trust us, we will come back with Zhang Xueyan. ”
The smile on Ma Jie's face disappeared when he turned around, leaving only a heavy face that could not be dispersed.
Outside, the rain had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the pure white moonlight covered the entire playground, which looked extremely bleak and solemn against the backdrop of the big dog's corpse.
By the sewer, Chen Ming found a long knife from the kitchen and held it in his right hand, with a fruit knife pinned to his waist to exercise his ability, and Mango stood quietly beside him.
In addition to the lighter, Ma Jie also took the steel pipe and two flashlights in Wang Jia's hand just now, and he took one of the flashlights to Chen Ming.
Ma Jie looked at Chen Ming, Chen Ming nodded at Ma Jie, and at this time the two actually had a feeling of taking care of each other.
The sewers were pitch black, and the round hole was like the mouth of a giant beast.
Ma Jie lit the lighter with his left hand, and the palm of his right hand was facing the sewer hole, and he didn't see Ma Jie's movements, the flames of the lighter suddenly swelled, and a heavenly fire that was inferior to just now rushed into the sewer. There was silence in the sewers, only a mist wafting out. The sewers are safe and there are no ambushes for any big dogs.
Ma Jie jumped into the sewer first, followed by Chen Ming and Mango. The two of them bent down and walked into the sewer, followed by an alert-looking Mango.
The sewers that have been unusable by humans have not been used for a long time, and the rain has washed away them, although there is still a foul smell, but it is already bearable.
The two of them and a dog walked silently in the sewers, and soon broke away from the sewer branch that needed to be bent forward, and came to the main line where they could stand up.
In the sewers of the main line, a stinking stream of water kept flowing in front of them, and along the direction of the water coming and going, you could see many branch entrances.
In this place, they have completely lost the traces of the dogs, and they don't know where the dogs dragged Zhang Xueyan to. Looking at the sewers in all directions in front of him, Ma Jie didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and sat on the ground with his ass, so he went to find it?
Chen Ming didn't give up so quickly, and the encounter along the way made him understand a truth: there must be a road in front of the lane mountain. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you must try. Chen Ming patted Mango's head and pointed his flashlight at the entrance of these branches. Mango rushed out in a knowing sight and began sniffing at the nearby entrances.
In addition to the sound of rushing water, only the sound of mangoes running is left in the sewers.
Soon Mango targeted the two side entrances upstream of the current, yelled at the two of them, and then wandered between the two side entrances and couldn't choose.
Chen Ming and Ma Jie ran to the two entrances at great speed, looking at the two entrances that led to the unknown.
Ma Jie didn't think too much about it, he said in sign language: "The two of us will divide into two roads and gather at the school gate after dawn. ”
Chen Ming nodded.
Ma Jie hesitated for a moment and then said, "If you can't do anything, save yourself for the Lord." ”
Chen Ming patted Ma Jie's shoulder, turned around and broke into the sewer branch on the right without looking back. Chen Ming didn't walk long before he found that the sewer had come to an end, and there was a hole in the wall for some reason, and there were some broken bones and some white hairs in the hole. Standing at the edge of the cave, you can vaguely smell the smell of a big dog.
Chen Ming turned around and galloped, since his own path was wrong, then Ma Jie's choice of path was right.
In the main trunk of the sewer, a figure jumped out of a straight line, and then burrowed into the branch line next door without stopping.
In the sewer branch, Chen Ming, who was leaning forward, soon came to the exit of a sewer. Chen Ming looked up and saw that the manhole cover made of graphite cast iron had disappeared, and the bright moonlight shone in from the hole, allowing Chen Ming to clearly see the fresh blood stain at the exit, which was here.
Chen Ming carefully stretched out his head to observe the surrounding situation, and by the moonlight he found himself in the courtyard of a movie theater, the manhole cover was placed on his left, behind him was the gate of the movie theater, and in front of him was the hall of the movie theater, and the hall with lights on had 4 studios.
Chen Ming jumped out of the sewer with a long knife in his hand and walked quickly to the hall of the movie theater. At the entrance of the hall, he saw a fresh trail of blood and sewage running from the hall door to Hall 4 of the cinema.
Chen Ming cautiously came to the door of Hall 4, and before he could observe, he saw a flash of fire inside, and then he heard the wail of a big dog and the muffled roar of a big dog.
Chen Ming hurriedly ran in to take a look, in the bright theater, Zhang Xueyan was lying under the screen and her body was convulsing, and Ma Jie was holding a lighter and a steel pipe in front of her.
Around them, seven large dogs lowered their bodies and bared their teeth and barked at the two of them, and one of them could still see the marks of a freshly burned dog on his body.
Ma Jie's hand with the lighter moved back and forth from time to time, and the big dogs were still apprehensive about the heavenly fire he sent, as long as his hand moved forward, the big dog he was facing would move backwards, but as soon as he turned his direction to the other big dogs, the corresponding dog would approach again.
The attack mode of this dog pack really corresponds to the classic saying: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase.
While being wary of the dogs, Ma Jie retreated cautiously, and his hind legs touched Zhang Xueyan's body. Zhang Xueyan's body twitched, but she didn't react at all to Ma Jie's touch. Ma Jie was anxious, and he was ruthless, and a heavenly fire appeared again with the firelight machine as the starting point and went straight to the dogs.
Ma Jie's body turned quickly, trying to set all the big dogs on fire, but he only hit 4 big dogs, and the other 3 big dogs had already jumped out of Ma Jie's attack range.
The big dog on fire scurried around the studio, set the cloth chair and sofa on fire, and then collapsed on the ground to let the flames burn.
Ma Jie, who sent out the fire of the day, couldn't support it and sat next to Zhang Xueyan. He looked at the approaching dogs, feeling the powerlessness in his body, and he gradually closed his eyes: I have done my best.
When the three big dogs saw Ma Jie, who had lost his resistance, they all kicked their hind legs and pounced on Ma Jie. At this moment, a fruit knife that had been hovering in the air for a long time pierced through their bodies from left to right like a lamb skewer, and inserted it into the heart of the last big dog.
The big dogs' bodies lost their vitality and they glided through the air for 1 meter before landing at Ma Jie's feet.
Ma Jie opened his eyes and looked at the big dogs that were bleeding, and guessed that Chen Ming had arrived. He looked up, and sure enough, Chen Ming and Mango, who were holding sharp knives, walked quickly.
Chen Ming hurriedly came over and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Ma Jie shook his head, and then turned to look at Zhang Xueyan on the ground.
Zhang Xueyan's body had stopped twitching, and Ma Jie put his hand on Zhang Xueyan's artery, but he couldn't feel the slightest rhythm.
Ma Jie wanted to let out a long roar, but in the end he could only punch the ground, and he lowered his head and tears began to fall on the floor non-stop: How can this be, how can this be, can't I even protect my own students?
Chen Ming stood quietly on the sidelines, he remembered that this girl who was the only one who smiled at him when they first met, she was so beautiful, but now she had died under the dog's mouth.
Has the world become so cruel?
