Chapter Seventy-Seven: Triple Insurance

Everyone felt that the danger of this mission lay in the virus strain, and no one thought that they might not even live to come into contact with the strain!

Indeed, based on the experience of the last pandemic, if the Kuroshio were to spread in the environment, it could potentially lead to a second major population decline.

Qi An also experienced a brief period of unconsciousness, but she regained consciousness within a minute or a few minutes.

She always regains her senses very quickly in any shock, but this time she was too close to the explosion and the impact was too great. She was able to regain her senses so quickly because someone protected her!

Yu Shuang pulled her out and then pinned her down.

Qi An felt a warm current flow from above into her neck.

Of course, many streams of heat also flowed from her body; she knew she had countless burns, shard cuts, and internal organ injuries.

But the captain's condition must be much worse than hers!

Qi An endured the excruciating pain and got up, while Yu Shuang's body went limp and fell over.

She was semi-conscious, breathing heavily, and coughing up blood!

At this point, everyone got up one after another. Yu Shuang was the most seriously injured, followed by Qi An, Tang Long, and Zhao Bohan.

Zhang Huaiqian screamed, but he was only injured by the shards.

Su Qingran's entire back was burned, her clothes stuck to her flesh and blood. She gritted her teeth, got up, and rushed to Yu Shuang's side.

“Severe burns to my back and arms, a broken rib, and most seriously… a ruptured lung…” Su Qingran’s voice was hoarse and trembling as she realized she had no tools at hand.

The first aid kit was blown to pieces along with the two vehicles!

Zhao Bohan and Su Qingran rushed over one after the other. He also suffered internal injuries, blood still stained his lips, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Su Qingran.

"Propose a solution!"

"The air is toxic, and there's not enough oxygen here. Take her to a place where she can breathe, let her sit or lean against something, and don't move her! Then get her to the hospital as soon as possible!" Su Qingran shouted.

Not only are the gases from a battery explosion toxic, but the insect oil that has not been fully purified can also cause pollution to spread with the smoke and dust after a deflagration!

Fortunately, Zhao Bohan's mental strength had been upgraded. He was always cautious, so even when he got out of the car to rest, he would wear the filter mask around his neck.

He pulled up his mask, picked up Yu Shuang, and tried to get her out of the fire as steadily as possible.

Everyone rushed out, but Qi An felt a sharp pain in her chest as soon as she ran and vomited blood. However, she still managed to stop Tang Long and quickly purify herself.

Tang Long's clothes were burned beyond recognition, and his rotten flesh was exposed.

But he could still move. After being purified by Qi An, he actually shed tears, his face full of guilt.

But there was no time or space for apologies. He grabbed the two boxes of ammunition with one arm, scooped up Qi An with the other, and rushed out of the fire together.

No one died, and Qi An purified them one by one without pausing for a second.

But at the end of the road, amidst the distorted, burning air, vehicles had already appeared.

They weren't there to rescue them. A burly man was leaning out of the roof window of one of the two cars, carrying something!

The tall man on the ranch had already received a report on the situation at the scene through the two vehicles he had dispatched.

He swore.

The two carefully planned killing moves failed to kill either of them!

But he has a third layer too!

"Bomb them! I fucking refuse to believe these wounded guys can outrun artillery shells!" he ordered.

"I took the captain's sniper rifle out of the car!" Qi An shouted in a hoarse voice.

Zhuang Xiao was not seriously injured. He scrambled back into the fire and came out after a while carrying two guns.

Qi An threw it far away, and the gun wasn't burned by the fire yet, but the gun body was scorched by the heat wave, and it was frighteningly hot.

But by then everyone was severely burned, numb with pain, so who cared about the slightest sensation in their fingers?!

Yu Shuang's breathing became increasingly difficult. Zhao Bohan picked her up again, Tang Long grabbed the bewildered Zhang Huaiqian, and everyone scrambled to the sides of the road to avoid a rocket!

Qi An could no longer hear anything.

But she noticed the vice-captain's gaze and gestures.

Just as she had thought: instead of running away, they hijacked their car!

Yu Shuang, and all of them, need to go to the hospital!

The two sides were close enough that the second rocket was about to be launched, but the man carrying the rocket launcher was sniped by Zhuang Xiao!

Zhao Bohan, who was carrying a rifle, opened fire, causing the first car to brake suddenly.

Qi An removed the heavy rifle magazine from his body, threw the grenade, and rushed forward with only his pistol in his hand amidst the smoke and dust of the explosion.

Without any load, she could use her agility to her advantage. She rushed to the side of the first car, glanced around, and roughly determined that there were 5 or 6 people.

Gun barrels were sticking out of the windows of the car in front, and Qi An clung to the car body to avoid being shot at.

Zhuang Xiao, who was rushing right behind her, shot the man to death.

Qi An popped his head out just as the screams were coming from the driver's seat and shot the man in the driver's seat!

However, there was a sniper in the car behind her. He fired when she peeked out, but Tang Long, who was further behind, hit her instead.

Their teamwork remained as seamless as ever; the absolute trust they shared while fighting side by side seemed ingrained in their very bones.

But a grenade was thrown over, and Qi An retreated quickly, still almost getting his throat grazed by shrapnel!

Another surge of heat welled up in her throat, which she barely managed to suppress. She was pinned to the front of the car by the dense hail of bullets fired from the two people in the car behind her, and she dared not, and could not, move for the time being!

The tall man paced anxiously in the house on the ranch, constantly growling, "Old Li, how's Old Li? Don't fucking tell me you guys can't even kill a few wounded!"

Old Li in the car behind was also a sharpshooter, hitting Tang Long with one shot. He opened the door, got out of the car, and used the car body as a shield to aim at Zhuang Xiao.

However, the pollution caused by the explosion of insect oil is indiscriminate; the assassins, being too close, were more affected by the pollution than the rest of the team.

Two of the remaining three people have soaring pollution levels.

While cursing, Lao Li stuffed medicine into his mouth and gave his teammate behind him an injection of blocking agent.

In that brief moment, Zhuang Xiao circled around the car and shot Lao Li in the back of the head!

A sharp blare came from the tall man's headphones in the ranch. He ripped the headphones off and yelled, "Fuck!"

The man's face was gloomy, while the man next to him with the protruding mouth was pale.

But the tall man calmed down and said, "It's not a complete loss, and even if I had lost..." He paused and didn't finish his sentence.

After a while, Qi An was finally able to move again. He rushed to Tang Long's side and purified himself once more!

Tang Long was shot in the right shoulder. Qi An couldn't handle it, so he had to drag himself up and run towards Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao was temporarily pinned to the back of the car by the remaining two people.

Once he stops, the pain throughout his body intensifies the contaminated brain worms in his brain, driving him crazy!

But Qi An arrived and purified him.

If the situation weren't so dire, Zhuang Xiao would have thrown herself into Qi An's arms and burst into tears.

"I was wrong! I was wrong, Sister Qi! If you want to leave, you'd better take us with you!!"

"Stop howling! Fight the enemy!" Qi An shouted helplessly.

Two assassins who had reached the third level of mutation appeared on the side of the car. Zhuang Xiao shot one of them to death without even turning his head.

Don't disturb me while I'm enjoying Sister Qi's purification!

While bombs are certainly a lethal weapon, the gap in strength between a group of assassins who have either long since retired or have never actually seen combat and the members of Team 2 is still too great.

The tall man on the ranch saw that of the six men he had sent, five had already lost vital signs.

He paused for a moment, hesitated, and then dialed the number whose origin was difficult to trace:

Sorry boss, it failed.

There was a full two minutes of silence on the other end.

The tall man could almost picture the fury on the other end of the line, and how many times his female boss was mentally cursing him as a "good-for-nothing!"

"Make sure they don't speak and don't come back," came the reply after a long pause.

Yes! Don't worry, they were all deregistered at the base. It won't affect you, and it won't even involve our ranch!

[Okay...the people on Team 2 didn't get hurt at all?]

Upon hearing this, the tall man hurriedly said, "[He's taken it, he's taken it! He's seriously injured!]"

"Will they be able to get back to base?" A cold laugh seemed to come from the other end.
