Chapter 18: The Triumph of Heroes
When they came to the eighteenth floor, Ji Si and the others were already exhausted, running at full speed at a high intensity of two kilometers, almost draining all their strength.
Although they were scarred, they finally came back, and this operation was the most dangerous operation since the establishment of their team. It was so dangerous that even the entire team was injured, and when they saw the familiar home in front of them, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
"How do you think we should praise that kid Carl, but he did us a great favor this time." Constance smiled ignoring the injury on his hand.
"You can do it." Despondently, Jisi put a band-aid on her neck. She had been a little unconvinced of Carl's abilities, and who knew that her idea would be proven wrong so quickly.
As an instructor, she didn't know what kind of strength her students had, and she didn't deny that she was derelict in her duties. At the same time, I also admired the captain's far-sighted ability and vision. However, Kiss didn't know that Constance was bragging at all.
Even, even Constan himself is depressed, am I the protagonist in the Huaxia web novel, with my own words and laws, the aura of the center of the world? He silently said "the injury is healed" in his heart, but no fart happened.
Sure enough, I don't have that good shit luck......
After a few breaths, everyone came to the steel door, but they didn't notice any movement inside.
"Boy, are you there?" Constance shouted in his characteristic loud voice.
After waiting for a while, but there was no movement, he shouted again, "If you are there, squeak." ”
There was no response to this voice.
"Nothing will happen so you didn't come back, did you?" Rosa frowned. It wasn't for nothing that she thought, as Karl was only covering them on the rooftop, and his location was only a minute or two away from the stronghold. It makes sense to be back here at this time, unless there is some trouble.
"I'll go find him." Kiss said. As an instructor, he has to be responsible for his own students, not to mention that he saved the entire team in the stronghold. It's just that these words came out of the mouth of a little Lori who was about twelve years old...... Something indescribably awkward?
"Sister, then be careful yourself." Rosa hugged Kiss.
"Don't worry, sister." Ji Si smiled brightly. She was able to feel her sister's care for her, and it was a warm feeling, and she loved it.
"Hmm."
……
Dead of night.
Jisi left the stronghold without bringing anything with her, and there was no need for that, a flashbang could indeed kill the shadows, but at the same time, it would also attract some shadows further away.
Moreover, the old birds of the city have never relied on flashbangs to clear the way by collecting supplies, but on superb stealth skills. This is the right and efficient way to do it.
"Let's go up the stairs and see if there's any clue." After thinking about it for a while, Ji Si organized a search plan. Once a range is specified, the search will be more efficient.
Kiss calmly looked left and right in the hallway, but found no sign of Carl. However, when she reached the end of the staircase, she stopped.
She squinted at a room, frowned, and muttered, "Here'......"
"It smells of blood."
She didn't go over at once, paused, picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in her hand for a while, and threw it.
The stone bounced on the ground a few times and rolled into the room.
For a while, there was no response.
Kiss sighed, "It seems ......"
"I... At... This ......" came from the room.
Kiss was stunned for a moment and ran over, and when she entered the room, she saw Carl covering her wound and snorting.
"I thought no one was coming." Karl smiled wryly. He didn't expect the dark shadows to gather together to bring the temperature down so low, and according to what he felt at the time, it was definitely below freezing.
The cold, which penetrated deep into his bone marrow, almost froze him into a popsicle. Thinking of this feeling, Carl sneezed violently.
"You know what? I thought I was going to die, thousands of ghosts ......," he shook his head and laughed. At that moment, he thought he had crossed over to the North Pole.
"Don't talk about it, get me back first." Karl closed his eyes and said, he just wanted to get some rest.
"Hmm." Kiss didn't say anything, she just listened quietly to Carl's complaints.
She wandered around the room for a while, and found a plank about two meters long and a thick rope that was just enough to tie up Carl and drag him back.
This operation is not difficult, it took her a few minutes to complete, but it is a bit troublesome to perform, Carl's weight is not light, although Ji Si is more powerful than his peers, but after all, she is only twelve years old, and her strength is not great.
"This guy...... It's heavy. Ji Si gritted her teeth, she almost dragged one step at a time. Carl was very comfortable, lying down and not walking by himself, like a prince.
It's good that the stronghold is on the same floor, otherwise, she would really be tired. After a while, Kiss dragged Carl back.
Almost at the same time that the two of them appeared at the corner of the corridor, everyone hurriedly walked up to help, and gathered around to ask this and that.
Fortunately, Rosa showed up to stop the other two, which allowed Carl to breathe, otherwise he would have really died alive.
……
"Ouch...... It's so comfortable! Karl shouted in ecstasy. Soaking in the warm bathtub is simply the best enjoyment in the world.
This moment is unforgettable.
But in fact, there will be a moment when he gets tired of anything, and when Carl's legs regain sensation, he feels itchy all over his body, his skin is blistered and white, and what makes him scold his mother even more is that his skin is wrinkled.
Frightened, he jumped out of the water and quickly dried himself with a towel.
"It's just that my right shoulder still hurts a little, I don't know what's going on?" The vague pain in his right shoulder made him a little crazy, and the feeling between pain and not pain was really as annoying as a fly.
After getting dressed, Carl came out of the bathroom and came to the living room, to his surprise that everyone had not slept at twelve o'clock in the night, as if they were waiting for him.
Carl suddenly felt flattered in his heart, but he didn't know why he liked the warmth of his heart.
"Uh...... Well, why haven't you slept yet? He scratched his cheek unnaturally.
"Boy, welcome back." Constance stood up and patted Carl on the back.
"Keep up the good work! Mr. Carr. Rosa smiled. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and shook it with him.
As for Jisi, this little Lori...... It was the flesh and skin who didn't smile and said "um".
Faced with all this, Carl smiled awkwardly, touched the back of his head, and said, "Actually, it's nothing." ”
