Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 784: Finally Rested in Peace
"No, no, no, it's my fault. If I hadn't called you, you wouldn't have...
Can you come out now? If not, I will come to rescue you."
As for Tong Xianbao, he can only blame himself for his bad luck.
"I can't get out, you..." Geng Zhixing wanted to ask Xiong Jianwei to help him, but when he saw Sun Sainan, he immediately changed his mind: "Brother, help me!"
Sun Sainan was speechless, but still said, "Wait."
Geng Zhixing nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"
Xiong Jianwei was pulling Tong Xianbao hard, while Sun Sainan was pulling Geng Zhixing hard.
Sun Sainan finally pulled Geng Zhixing out of the trap.
Geng Zhixing looked relieved and patted his chest, saying, "This is fucking weird. This place is almost like a swamp."
Sun Sainan ignored him and turned to help Xiong Jianwei, but still said: "Maybe, the place where you stepped is just a pit."
Geng Zhixing nodded: "That's right, with such a huge tsunami and so much water, it's not impossible for the road to be washed away or collapsed."
The two men walked to Xiong Jianwei, stretched their hands and groped in the mud for a while, one pulled his arm and the other lifted his waist, and they used all their strength to pull Tong Xianbao out.
Sun Sainan tried it under his nose, then shook his head regretfully: "It's dead."
"It won't take long, let's try first aid on him," said Xiong Jianwei.
"Even if we need emergency treatment, it's not here. It's all muddy here, and we can't get any help." Geng Zhixing said, "Let's go back first."
Several people took turns carrying Tong Xianbao to shore, and met Li Sikai halfway: "Are you all okay?"
"It's okay, except that we failed to get the bracelet back." Several people were a little discouraged.
Li Sikai patted their shoulders and said, "It's good that everyone is okay. I've told you so many times that the mission comes second and safety comes first. Why do you forget everything when something happens?"
Xiong Jianwei's nose felt sore, and he said in a nasal voice, "I have been pursuing her for several years, and it is a bit unbearable to fail all of a sudden. To put it bluntly, we were careless."
"Yes, we know how important that thing is to the alliance."
Li Sikai sighed: "Not as important as you."
It’s just a space. If it really doesn’t exist, how can their Qinghua country survive?
It's just a storage and transportation tool. If there is no space, they still have trucks and planes. Isn't it just a little more effort?
Li Sikai thought about it indifferently, but he didn't know that not long after, he was slapped in the face.
"Okay, let's go back."
Li Sikai took Tong Xianbao from Geng Zhixing's back and found something different as soon as he held it in his hands.
"He, is dead?"
"Well, we found it too late. It had been buried in the mud for several minutes."
"We thought of taking him back first. Maybe with some first aid, he can still survive."
"It doesn't matter if we can't survive. Anyway, we tried our best."
"It's a pity that we couldn't find Lu Nanfang."
Li Sikai nodded: "It's fate. From now on, don't mention the matter of Yuan Ruoxi and Lu Nanfang anymore. There are very few people here who know about space ability users. If the news can be extinguished, it will be a good thing.
Even if she can't, Lu Nanfang has stolen the space carrier in front of everyone, and our lives will be much easier in the future."
Now that they have nothing in their hands, they shouldn't be targeted by anyone, right?
What Li Sikai didn't know was that the space thing was not over at all. In fact, he regretted for many years that he had completed the task so smoothly.
Really, I regret it so much!
Several people quickly got ashore, and the onlookers saw the five people in a mess and came up to help.
However, when he touched Tong Xianbao's pulseless body, he was shocked, "He, he, he, why is he dead?"
"He was stuck in a mud pit and was already like this when he was rescued." Geng Zhixing said simply and prepared to perform artificial respiration on Tong Xianbao.
Xiong Jianwei pulled him and said, "I'll do it!"
Geng Zhixing didn't know why Lao Xiong was so active today. He nodded and didn't argue.
The onlookers noticed the problem and asked them, "Hey, isn't there another woman who hasn't come back yet?"
"No, I heard a woman screaming at first. Did something happen to that woman?"
Sun Sainan nodded with a sad expression: "Yes, she was buried in the mud before we got there. Because we were far away, we couldn't even see her location. It's a pity that we didn't even have a chance to save her.
She...can be considered to have been laid to rest in peace!"
If Sun Sainan's expression hadn't been so sad, the audience would have burst out laughing. What kind of devilish statement is this?
Someone did get to the point: "Why did that woman run away? Also, I heard that man yelling about a bracelet."
Li Sikai knew that he had to give an explanation for this matter, so he mixed truth and lies and said, "The bracelet was a family heirloom of our companion. She died of illness, and as a result, her best friend coveted it and stole it away.
The person being rescued now is our companion’s lover. He wanted to keep the bracelet as a souvenir, but...
Maybe they didn’t expect such an accident to happen.”
This sounds reasonable at first glance, but the loopholes in it are obvious.
Those with simple minds believed it, but some people with quick minds always felt that there was a hidden truth in it.
But since the other person didn't say anything, they couldn't keep clinging to him, so they nodded and turned their attention to Tong Xianbao.
Xiong Jianwei gave Tong Xianbao artificial respiration for a long time, but Tong Xianbao did not respond. Finally, he ran out of energy and gave up.
"Maybe, there's nothing we can do about it," said Xiong Jianwei.
Li Sikai patted his shoulder and said, "Just do your best."
Xiong Jianwei nodded: "Take him back and bury him together with Yuan Ruoxi." This would also allow them to keep each other company.
Li Sikai did not refute. He bent down and picked up Tong Xianbao.
A few people led the crowd back to the thatched hut, and saw the entrusted little girl standing at the door with an angry face.
"Hey, what the hell do you mean? The person in the room clearly has the plague, but you didn't report it and tricked me into coming here to take care of him. Do you want me to get the plague too?"
Li Sikai: "...I just asked you to help look after it. I didn't ask you to go in and move the body, or anything else."
The little girl looked embarrassed and glared at Li Sikai with great anger.
Li Sikai didn't understand why, but he still thanked the girl: "Thank you for your help tonight. When I have time tomorrow, I will help you pick some wild vegetables as a reward."
The little girl stomped her feet and said, "Who the hell wants your wild vegetables? I'm not seeking death." She pushed away the onlookers and ran away.
The people watching the whole process were stunned.
What did they hear?
Plague, right!
"Ahhh, their companion died of illness. We were in contact with them for so long just now, will we be infected?"
"Oh my god, how can you guys be so unruly? You were the ones who said that plague patients should be quarantined, and you are the ones who don't follow the rules!"
