Chapter 22: The Wreckage
After a long trek, Xu Xiao's fighting instinct had slowly subsided, and the wounds corroded by the aura were a little festering, which made him extremely painful, and he stopped from time to time to dig up the snow to wipe off the Qingnong that was left behind. Zhu Zhen said a few words at the beginning of the journey, and now he is leading the way with his head bored, Xu Xiao asked where he was going several times, but he didn't answer.
The snow in the sky was fascinated by the blowing wind, Xu Xiao's eyes were fascinated, he stopped again, and shouted helplessly. Zhu Zhen also stopped this time, glanced back at Xu Xiao, and two white mist erupted from his nose. 'It seems that you humans are not very good at fighting. Having said that, Zhu Zhen quickly manifested the prototype, tilted his head and looked at Xu Xiao who was covering his eyes and rubbing his eyes with his already healed beast pupils. 'Come on, at your speed, I don't think you'll be able to reach your destination and die.' ’
Xu Xiao opened his eyes, looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise with bloodshot eyes, took a step, but still asked cautiously. "Is there really no problem?" Zhu Zhen saw that he was still trembling and frightened, and impatiently shook his short and thick tail, and arched him at one end, and rested it firmly on his neck. "I really doubt how you got on this battlefield!' Zhu Zhen burst out of his throat with such a description in a sullen voice, which made Xu Xiao's old face a little red for the first time.
"I didn't expect that I would go to the battlefield, anyway, I only now realized that I had picked up that piece of jade before I entered the world of your demons! The fur on the neck of the rough-looking beast was so soft that he missed his sleeping bag a little.
‘。。。。 The beast did not reply, but began to accelerate, rushing faster and faster through the snowfield, and disappeared into the blizzard.
Inside the armored car.
Li Sisi held his aching head, climbed out of the overturned car, squinted his eyes and looked around, although the sky was already bright, the wind and snow did not subside. Li Sisi, who was sore all over, remembered that there were still teammates in the car, and hurriedly turned around again and began to check the body of the armored car. After hammering the glass twice, he remembered that this was the high-strength glass he had personally replaced, smiled bitterly, got up and went around to the exit that Xu Xiao threw out, and climbed in.
There was chaos in the car, and smoke came out from time to time, choking Li Sisi to tears. He started to check from the back of the car, and the equipment and materials that had fought for them had been scattered into a pile, and he couldn't tell what was what. In the miscellaneous pile of guns, ammunition and bombs, a foot with 45 yards of military boots was exposed, Li Sisi didn't think whose foot it was, and began to pull this pile of debris, and before he could pull a few times, there was a painful groan from behind the captain Guo Xuan. Li Sisi glanced back and saw that Guo Xuan was still healthy and was tied to the seat with a seat belt, so he didn't care about him and continued to pull.
'Lee. . . Li Sisi, it's okay!' Guo Xuan just unbuckled his seat belt, and fell into the car with a snap, making him moan in pain a few more times. "Come and help if you're not dead!" Li Sisi pulled a few times, and his hand was scratched by the dagger that had slipped out of the sheath, so he had to stop and tear a few strips of cloth from his shirt and wrap them. Guo Xuan helped his waist, slowly rubbed to Li Sisi's side, patted him on the shoulder, endured the pain on his body, and began to pull debris.
The two of them slowly moved the debris away, revealing Qu Liang who was buried underneath. 'Still alive. Guo Xuan tried his hand under Qu Liang's nose, nodded, and the two of them lifted the burly Qu Liang with great difficulty, and moved him to the still empty place in the car to settle him. The two then put Jun Likai and Wang Dake down from their seats, but fortunately they both survived and placed them side by side with Qu Liang
"It's too reckless, what can I do last night!" complained that Li Sisi sighed, Guo Xuan saw Zhang Feng in the co-pilot position, hurriedly went over to check, and touched his hand, the coolness from his fingers made his heart fall. "How is it?" Li Sisi searched around the car, but did not find Xu Xiao, who might have been left nearby, and when he returned to the car, he saw Guo Xuan checking Zhang Feng.
'Sacrificed. Guo Xuan instantly felt that he was so tired, he couldn't stand up when he was tired, so he sat down with the car body. Li Sisi was stunned, his bloodstained face became gloomy in an instant, and he slowly walked to Guo Xuan's side and sat down side by side. The two of them didn't speak, the air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the three Qu Liang, who were lying beside them and whose life and death were uncertain, were now the only pillars they could look forward to.
How could time be frozen like this, as it passed, as it seemed to remind the two sober people in the car that their time was running out. Li Sisi and Guo Xuan, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, finally remembered their identities and began to get busy, setting up a fire in the leeward part of the car, taking care of Qu Liang and the others, collecting supplies, and waiting for their teammates to wake up.
'Vote now, continue the mission or go find Xu Xiao first?' The comatose teammates finally woke up by the warm fire, Guo Xuan performed his duties as captain, asking his teammates' opinions. Wang Dake and Jun Likai were the least injured, and they were gobbling up, Qu Liang had been silent since he woke up, and he didn't answer Guo Xuan's question. Li Sisi voted to find Xu Xiao, left the fire, and began to dismantle things from the armored car, clanging into a ball.
Qu Liang came back from his daze and looked at Guo Xuan in confusion, Guo Xuan had to repeat the question again, Qu Liang did not hesitate, and voted to find Xu Xiao, Wang Dake wiped his mouth, patted Jun Likai, who was still eating, and the two wiped their mouths and thought carefully for a while before voting. Guo Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, the two decisions are now equal, and the decision falls on his head again. After thinking about it carefully, the captain Guo Xuan stood up and announced the result solemnly. "Continuing the mission, Xu Xiao's life and death are slim, and we can't delay more fighters and cause greater casualties." ’
Around the wreckage of the armored vehicle, the five surviving fighters, after making a decision, did not delay any longer, packed up their equipment and supplies, and began to advance on foot, withstanding a somewhat weakened storm and snow, heading towards the unknown and dangerous mission location.
