Chapter 15: A Man's Rescue
attracted everyone's attention, and Lu Dachuan's excited and frustrated deep voice sounded:
"Listen, now the beast tide is attracted by the sound, and once they leave the mall, we can take the opportunity to leave here through the back door of the mall!"
"Don't miss the opportunity, let's go now!"
Hearing this, Arthur on the side, his eyes lit up, and he also reacted: "The captain is right!" Everyone, check the gear and get ready to break out! ”
Hearing the command, the other explorers stood up.
"Come, Old Lu, I'll carry you!"
Glancing at the old man, Lu Dachuan saw resoluteness in the other party's eyes.
He was also very aware of his current physical condition, and did not refuse, but just nodded heavily.
Handing the long knife in his hand to an explorer, and then lying directly on the back of the deputy captain Arthur, Lu Dachuan did not forget to fulfill the duties of the captain, and commanded the team in a loud voice:
"Everyone, diamond formation! Lao Hu, you take the lead! ”
"Remember, as soon as you encounter a mutant, shoot immediately and don't let those damn things scream!"
Hearing the captain's command again, the explorers of Tomorrow's team seemed to have the backbone of their hearts, and their low mood suddenly perked up.
"Yes!"
After waiting for the movement of the sharptooth beast tide a little farther away, Lu Dachuan's voice sounded again:
"Let's go!"
With Lu Dachuan's order, the Tomorrow team quickly took action.
After leaving the shop and making sure that there were no sharptoothed beasts on the left and right sides of the hallway, the group formed a diamond-shaped formation and quickly made their way to the emergency passage on the third floor and walked down the stairs.
Perhaps cherishing such an opportunity to escape death, everyone's footsteps are chaotic and not chaotic, and they are very cautious.
After a while, the Tomorrow team came to the first floor.
made a stop gesture behind him, and Lao Hu, who was in the lead, came to the door of the emergency passage, lightly opened a little crack in the door, and glanced out twice.
The hall of the mall was already empty, and not even a sharptooth beast could be seen.
"The hall is safe."
After confirming that most of the Sharptooth Tide was attracted away by the sound just now, Tomorrow's team did not hesitate and quickly headed towards the back door of the mall.
However, when they just ran out of the back door of the mall and were about to escape, a sudden change occurred!
Around the corner, a sharp-toothed beast that didn't know if it was lonely, or if it was half a beat slower than the beast tide, suddenly came out of the corner, just in front of the Tomorrow team.
Just when everyone subconsciously raised the crossbow in their hands, intending to shoot it with fire, someone took the lead!
I only heard three small sounds of "poof, puff, puff", and there were suddenly three more blood holes on the body of the sharptooth beast that was blocking the way.
The corpse fell in response, and the brilliant blood splatters that flew out directly dyed the snow white all over the ground.
When the crowd followed the prestige, they saw a human in a shabby brown coat and a gas mask, standing not far away.
In his hand, he was holding a pistol with a silencer.
Seeing this, the explorers of the Tomorrow Team "brushed" and aimed the crossbows in their hands at this human of unknown origin.
However, something that made them feel incredible, happened:
I saw that the person who came raised his hand and took off his gas mask, revealing a young face with black hair and black eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned:
"Guys, take it easy, it's me!"
Seeing the familiar face in front of him, everyone in the team of tomorrow was stunned.
"Ah Xi?!"
"Xiao Chen?!"
They couldn't have imagined how Chen Xi, who was supposed to have a good rest in the subway station, could suddenly appear in front of them...
A straightforward explorer took the lead in asking his inner doubts:
"Why are you here?"
"I received your distress message, so I'm here."
While speaking, Chen Xi casually put the pistol into the bag (bar) on his back, stepped forward to the corpse of the sharptoothed beast, and seemingly inadvertently waved his hand, and picked up the items exploded by the sharptoothed beast.
[Item has been picked up.] 】
Glancing at everyone's reactions, as if they hadn't seen the object light ball at all, Chen Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and suddenly understood.
"It turns out that only I can see..."
Murmuring in his heart, he did not forget to put the gas mask back on and said:
"It's not safe here, so let's leave while the beast tide hasn't come back yet."
"Follow me!"
With that, Chen Xi copied out the crossbow on his waist, turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, everyone in the Tomorrow team looked at Arthur, or Lu Dachuan, the captain behind Arthur.
"Look at what I'm doing, keep up!"
After that, Arthur carried Lu Dachuan on his back and followed.
Others, too, took a brisk step in hindsight...
。。。
Under Chen Xi's guidance, the group temporarily came to a store where the entire store was covered with snow and could only be accessed through the back door.
Inferred from items such as the cups scattered on the floor of the shop and the coffee machine behind the counter, this should have been a café before the nuclear war.
There was no howl of the sharptoothed beast in their ears, nor the howling of the cold wind, and Lu Dachuan and the others, who had been nervous, finally relaxed.
Several explorers sat down on the ground or leaned against the wall, gulping for breath.
"I thought I was going to die this time..."
"Me too..."
At this time, Lu Dachuan's voice sounded again:
"Everyone, replace the canister and rehydrate. Five minutes later, we set off for home! ”
Hearing the captain's voice, the team members responded in unison:
"Yes!"
After giving the order, Lu Dachuan, who was sitting at the counter, turned his head to look at Chen Xi who was sitting on a wooden chair:
"Ah Xi, you just said that you received our distress message, how did you..."
"Oh, that's what you said... Coincidentally, Taozi repaired a broken radio and switched it to the same communication channel as you, so we received your distress message..."
"So, you're here to save us alone?"
"That's not it, Taozi originally wanted to come. But considering that he had never been to the surface before, and that coming would only be a hindrance, I did not agree to let him come with him. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, Arthur asked the biggest question in everyone's minds: "What was the movement just now... Did you make it? ”
Nodding, Chen Xi opened his mouth and explained:
"yes, I remember that the sharptooth was very sensitive to sound, so I thought of making some noise to draw them away from the mall. Unexpectedly, I just lit a cannon battle, and those brainless monsters were deceived..."
Listening to Chen Xi's understatement, everyone's hearts were flooded with turbulent waves.
They never expected that Chen Xi, a "rookie" who had only joined the explorer team not long ago, would be so bold and dare to save them alone!
In other words, the "rescuer" who saved them was actually only one person!
A brave, intelligent and fearless man!!
It was only then that it dawned on everyone.
Previously, the reason why Chen Xi was able to come back alive from the surface alone was by no means luck!
