Chapter Twenty-Three: Heavy Losses

After a short coma, under the stimulation of the cold pool water, Lu Ming slowly woke up again, he felt that a person was dragging him forward tightly, trying to open his eyes that were a little sore, he saw Sha Ke with a pale face next to him, and his heart couldn't help but be moved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThis guy is definitely a life-worthy man, his own leg has been bitten by mermaids before, although not very serious, but it also affects normal movement. And now, in the face of life-threatening circumstances, it is not easy to drag the injured leg with yourself.

Shaq also found that Lu Ming had opened his eyes, and hurriedly said to him: "Captain, that monster was scared by your shooting, and he didn't dare to come out, we still have about thirty meters to go." ā€

Lu Ming also smiled at him reluctantly and said, "Yes, we... ā€

"Boom", before Lu Ming finished speaking, a huge mouth suddenly stretched out on the water in front of him, and bit down directly at him, Lu Ming, who was already exhausted, really couldn't dodge, so he could only wait for death!

At the critical moment, he felt someone push him hard, and then he saw the serrated teeth on the monster's jaw directly cut off a person's arm, burrowing into the water with blood spurting everywhere, and then he was knocked unconscious by the monster's wide pectoral fins again.

I woke up again, and I don't know how long it took. Lu Ming only felt pain and exhaustion all over his body. Then came the voice of the master:

"The second phase of mission liquidation has ended.

Mission Completers: Gao Yu, Meng Da, Liang Hansheng, Zhu Wenli, Liu Ding, Wang Fugui, Li Weifu,

Reward: 500,000 RMB/person

Special Bonus: None

Personnel who have not completed the task: Lu Ming, Sha Ke

Task Punishment: Cut off the right ear, executed.

The third stage quest will be released 2 hours later. ā€

Lu Ming stretched out his hand and touched the position of his right ear, only to find that it was empty, it turned out that he had fallen short after all and did not complete the task of the second stage. Fortunately, as long as I can go back alive, my ears can grow again. And I don't know what kind of ability the master used, although it was cut off, but I didn't feel any pain in my right ear, and I could only really feel that "it" no longer existed. You must know that even in normal times, people can't directly judge whether some of their organs are present or not through their feelings, but now that they can have such a clear feeling, they have to make Lu Ming feel awe of the power of the master again.

Seeing that he had woken up, Liang Hansheng hurriedly ran over to help him check again, and after confirming that he was fine, Gao Yu helped him up and slowly told him what happened after he fell unconscious.

It turned out that when Lu Ming was facing a life-and-death crisis, it was Shaq next to him who pushed him, so that he saved his life, and Shak's right arm was cut off on the spot by the monster's annular serration, and he fainted in pain after screaming. The monster that couldn't hit it wanted to turn around and pounce on Lu Ming again, but fortunately it was shot back by Meng Da, who came in time, but it was precisely because of the delay that he and Sha Ke finally failed to complete the task, and they were punished for cutting off their ears, but fortunately, there was not much blood left in the wound, and Liang Hansheng had already helped them bandage it.

"How's Shaq doing now?" Lu Ming asked a little weakly.

"It's not good." At this time, Liang Hansheng on the side answered, after all, he is an expert in trauma, and his speech is the most authoritative here.

"I've already taken care of Shaq's wounds, but fortunately, the bottle of medicine I gave you earlier is still there, and the bleeding has stopped. However, due to excessive blood loss, the person was in shock for a while, and after some rescue, there is no danger to his life for the time being, but he is still in a coma. I can't do anything about the current medical conditions, I just hope he can last until we go back. But..... ā€

"But what? Let's say, no matter how bad the result is, you have to face it. Lu Ming said.

"He can't be injured or hit violently anymore, we don't have a blood transfusion here, and the amount of blood in his body is already on the alert line. And there are more wounds on the body, especially on the arm, once the wound is cracked again, it is estimated that... It is estimated that the immortals are difficult to save. Since Lu Ming said so, Liang Hansheng simply confessed to him.

Lu Ming took a deep breath and asked again, "I know." What about the others? ā€

Liu Ding was bitten through a hole in his thigh, but fortunately, the bleeding had stopped, but he definitely couldn't walk independently for the rest of the journey. The old ghost, Gao Yu and Meng Da are all minor injuries, I have dealt with them briefly, and there is basically no major problem, and Li Weifu has also woken up. As for you, I've already bandaged the wound on your ear, and the wound on your arm looks like it's been bitten, but it's not serious, and I'll clean it up for you again. Liang Hansheng then replied.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Liang, but I'm glad you are here." Lu Ming said to Liang Hansheng, and at the same time, he was also glad that fortunately Liang Hansheng was here, otherwise Sha Ke and Liu Ding's lives might not be saved.

Liang Hansheng waved his hand at him and stopped talking. Gao Yu on the side continued to say to Lu Ming: "Brother Lu, we really don't know what's going on, everything was really normal when I swam over with Doctor Liang, I didn't even see the shadow of a monster, if we knew that there was such a guy, we would definitely remind you." Gao Yu knew that Lu Ming would definitely ask this, so he simply said it first.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "I know, I don't blame you for this matter. Let me ask you, did you and Dr. Leung swim in pairs? ā€

"Yes, the old ghost and I came first, Dr. Liang and they came together about twenty minutes later, what's wrong?"

"Hey, I was too careless." Lu Ming closed his eyes painfully, and then said with a sigh of relief: "It's all because I was too careless, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Blackwater Pool is also part of the second phase of the mission, which is also subject to rules. Of course, you won't have much of a problem working in pairs, but we were five people in the water at the time, which must have doubled the difficulty, so there were monsters. ā€

"I see. But that's not right, Brother Lu. I heard Fat Li say, didn't the four of you come out of the cave together before, but you didn't say that there was any change in the cave? Gao Yu wondered.

"I don't know much about this, maybe it's because of our proper method, maybe it's because the time interval between our two groups is very long, and the juggernaut defaults to being two separate groups. It's just that I don't know what Shaq encountered when he was alone.,He broke through by himself.,I didn't expect it to be here.怂怂怂怂 Hey, I was too careless. ā€

"Okay, Brother Lu, the shark is indeed a real man, I have to take him out no matter what, and I will continue to walk with him on my back in a while, and I will break out this time desperately!" Meng Da comforted on the side.

"Well, Shaq must be rescued alive, you will be responsible for opening the way for a while, Shaq will be carried by me, even if I accompany my life." Lu Ming also said firmly.

"Hey!" Gao Yu sighed and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Meng, it's not that I deliberately poured cold water, it's really that we have more trouble now." ā€

After seeing the two of them turn their attention, he continued: "You and Liu Ding's backpacks can't be found, not only do they have food in them, but also two sapper shovels and daggers, plus the old ghost they threw away before and Brother Lu's crossbow of yours, we are now missing a dozen weapons." And you've used up two incendiary bombs before, and I've got only the last one left. Now we're poor. If there is any danger in the future, it will be quite troublesome. ā€

"Well, it's really a troublesome thing, and now I can only gather everyone's weapons and then distribute them, and I don't know what the next stage of the task is, so I can only improvise." Lu Ming could only answer helplessly.

Soon, the rested crowd sat around and discussed their next move. Lu Ming looked at Sha Ke in a coma and Liu Ding with a miserable face, and then looked at a few members of the team who were slightly injured, and suddenly his mind was a little shaken, only the second stage of the task had already lost the ability to fight, can they really get out of this tricky situation together. However, Lu Ming himself also knows that now is not the time to say discouraged words, what everyone needs most is encouragement and confidence, if he, the captain, is shaken, I am afraid that this team will be self-defeating.

"We've done a good job in the first phase." Lu Ming's first sentence shocked the hearts of the people who were a little demoralized in the place, and several people who were originally a little depressed suddenly raised their heads and looked at Lu Ming.

"What I said is true, and I don't mean to comfort you. We've already had two dead by the end of the second phase of the quest from the previous Realm, but this time, at least we're all alive for now! Lu Ming's words once again made everyone's eyes shine.

Taking in everyone's expressions, Lu Ming continued: "Although Shaq is in a coma now, I will definitely not give up on him, and I also hope that everyone will not give up on anyone and go on together." Here I want to talk about Liu Ding, his performance in the water just now is indeed worthy of the respect of each of us, and he can indeed be called our good teammate. He is now unable to move, and I also hope that everyone can take care of him in the later tasks, especially Li Weifu, and you will take care of Liu Ding's actions later. ā€

Speaking of this, he wrote these words to Li Weifu and the old ghost, and Li Weifu immediately patted his chest and said that there was no problem, after all, he relied on Liu Ding to pick up a life just now. Then Lu Ming told everyone that he would hand over all the weapons and distribute them uniformly, but he didn't expect to encounter many problems in this regard.

The actual situation was worse than they imagined, Liang Hansheng and his wife had to bring some medicines, and Zhu Wenli was a woman, so the weight-bearing capacity was not good, but the two of them combined to bring a sapper shovel and a dagger, and the things on the old ghost, Sha Ke and Li Fatzi had already been stripped off before entering the tricky realm, and they didn't bring it in at all. Lu Ming and Liu Ding's backpacks were lost in the water, and there was only one mirror left on Lu Ming's body, and the only ones who could be called fully equipped were Gao Yu and Meng Da. As soon as the nine people got together, there were three sapper shovels and three daggers, a crossbow, and a bone sword, the bone sword was made of extremely light material, and after Shaq was lost in the water, he actually floated to the surface of the water by himself, and came to the shore flutteringly, and was picked up by Gao Yu.

In the end, Meng Da was assigned a crossbow and a dagger, and as a pioneer, Gao Yu was assigned a sapper shovel to guard at the rear. Among the others, Liang Hansheng and Lao Ghost each got a sapper shovel, Zhu Wenli and Li Fatzi each took a dagger, and Lu Ming only held a relatively light bone sword in his hand because he had to carry Shaq on his back.

Then everyone exchanged about the encounter they had started before, and Lu Ming knew how happy the ordinary difficulty was. Gao Yu and the old ghost encountered a group of largemouth fish that squirted bone spurs in the cave, these fish looked a bit like the hyena fish they encountered, but the mouth was larger, and they would spray bone spurs of about two or three inches, Gao Yu They suffered a little loss at first, and they suffered some injuries on their legs and bodies, but then they found that this fish had a weakness and was afraid of strong light, so the two of them carefully passed through the cave with a strong flashlight. And Liang Hansheng and their group are even simpler, they didn't encounter anything in the cave at all, but they didn't know what substance existed in the cave, and they would absorb all the light sources, and they smeared it for nearly two hours before they found the exit and crawled out. Although they were not injured, they groped for two hours in a completely dark and unfamiliar place, which was also a great psychological test for the two of them.

Just as everyone continued to discuss, the third stage of the mission was announced.
