It was quiet outside, everything was gone, and it seemed that only the sound of the wind was left.
Shiye listened patiently for a moment, gritted his teeth, and left the laboratory. In an instant, his feet stepped into a valley covered with vegetation. There was billowing smoke and dust everywhere, and he could not see or distinguish anything clearly.
She groped for a stone, propped herself up with her arms and hid behind it, looking around for clues.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps was heard, steady and sharp, and each person walked out with the momentum of thousands of troops. Shi's breathing paused slightly. He grabbed a palm-sized stone from the ground, looked towards the source of the sound, and remained alert.
She had already made up her mind that as long as they were not reinforcements, she would leave immediately even if it would expose the laboratory.
After a moment, a man broke through the smoke and appeared in front of Shiye.
There was hostility on his beautiful face, his chest heaving, cold sweat rolling down his forehead and soaking the wounds on his body. However, he did not show a trace of weakness. Instead, he showed the ferocity and bloodthirstiness of a wounded wild animal.
When he saw Shiye, Xiao Yue was obviously relieved, while Shiye was a little dazed.
"Xiao, Xiao Yue? Why are you here?" Shi was a little bit unbelievable. Wasn't he on a mission to the Yunling border to carry out the life-threatening minesweeping mission in his previous life? How could he suddenly return to the northwest? What went wrong?
"Let's go!" Xiao Yue frowned and did not return to the topic. He pulled Shi up and was about to leave.
"Hiss--" Shi felt pain and almost lost her balance and fell to the ground. Xiao Yue suddenly turned around and half-knelt on the ground to look at her legs. A piece of her pants was missing, and the exposed calves were white but stained with mud. What was even more glaring was the bloodstains on them.
Xiao Yue's dark eyes suddenly darkened, his mouth tightened, and without saying a word, he just picked the person up sideways.
"You!" Shi Ye paused again. It seemed that she couldn't escape from this princess hug ever since she met Xiao Yue.
"You are injured, put me down, I can walk by myself." Shiye put his hands on his chest. Just as he was about to struggle, he felt a wet, sticky blood on his palm, which gave him a warm feeling. Shiye did not dare to move and looked down at his wound.
The muzzle of the gun was on the left side of her chest. The wound was not big, but it was bleeding a lot. She didn't dare to think too much and said sternly, "We need to treat the wound! Do you want to die? Put me down and treat the wound first! Where are the others?"
Xiao Yue looked down at her, his brows knitted, his eyes dark, but soon, the temperature in his eyes cooled, his thin lips pursed tightly, as if he tried his best to restrain the violent emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "Only me."
Although he was seriously injured, his steps were steady, without even a shaky step, and he walked very fast with big strides.
"Only me", these three words echoed in Shi Ye's ears. Her usually rosy lips were bloodless. Looking at Xiao Yue's indifferent and sharp profile, her heart trembled. She certainly knew what these three words meant.
She was abducted at the train station. Because of Pei Yingchun's plan, there was an explosion and chaos, and no one noticed that she was taken away.
Even if she really went to Annan, no one would know. In fact, according to Pei Yingchun's tone, if a body was left at the explosion site and it was thought to be her, the level of autopsy in that era was not high and no clues would be found. She was doomed to be hopeless.
But there is one person who is different. Even if everyone thinks she is dead, he won't.
Although Xiao Yue and her had no oath, no feelings, nothing, but because of the plot mission, they were bound by the wedding ring. As long as he didn't throw away the ring, he could keep track of her whereabouts at all times.
At first she was very afraid of this, because Xiao Yue was a madman, a madman with tragic memories from his previous life.
She was not sure whether Xiao Yue would have the idea of killing her again, and she did not want her whereabouts to be controlled by him. However, this fear eventually turned into a life-saving straw. When Xiao Yue realized that she was being taken to Annan, he came to rescue her without hesitation.
She had thought of this possibility in her mind. After all, Xiao Yue was the only one who could find her. Maybe when she was taken to Annan one day, Xiao Yue would suddenly have a whim to check on her movements? But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she pushed it back.
After several lifetimes, she has come to understand one thing: she has to rely on herself when encountering anything; relying on others will never be reliable.
What's more, Xiao Yue was out on a mission. She knew very well how important the Yunling mine-clearing mission was to him. If he was not careful, the entire Hurricane Camp would repeat the same mistake. The more painful it was for him in his previous life, the more he wanted to make up for it in this life.
He won't come, Shi told himself so, and all the signs were nipped in the bud.
But the moment she saw him in the thick smoke, Shi understood that he had come after all, to save her.
Shi didn't say anything either. She just looked up at Xiao Yue quietly, gazing at his indifferent and sharp eyebrows, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Of course, she knew that Xiao Yue had some feelings for her, but she didn't understand, could this tiny feeling of affection lead him to disregard his life, leave his post, and single-handedly rescue her from Pei Yingchun?
Thick, warm blood flowed out continuously as he walked quickly, also staining the clothes on Shiye's chest.
She suddenly came to her senses, grabbed Xiao Yue's collar, and said seriously: "Even if you are alone, you still have to treat your wounds, otherwise you will lose too much blood and go into shock, and then you will still be unable to escape? Are Pei Yingchun and that big man still here?"
At this moment, Xiao Yue's face changed, and he rolled on the ground while holding Shi. He held her in his arms to prevent her from falling to the ground. The next moment, two bullets were shot out from the place where they had just stood.
Shiye's heart was pounding. He turned around and saw Pei Yingchun standing on the hillside. However, he was not in good condition.
Xiao Yue's combat capability was unquestionable. Although Pei Yingchun did not die after the grenade was thrown, his clothes were torn to shreds. His usually gentle and smiling face was now pitch black, as if covered with a layer of ash. However, this funny makeup, in his scarlet and angry eyes, actually brought a bit of reckless murderous intent.
Xiao Yue reacted quickly, pulled out his gun, and fired back, and Pei Yingchun quickly dodged.
The two of them fought back and forth, and Shi was held in Xiao Yue's arms. He could only hear the gunshots but did not feel any danger.
"Let go! I'll hide aside, and you kill him! You must kill him!" Shi Ye grabbed Xiao Yue's clothes and whispered, then pushed Xiao Yue away and rolled to the side. His legs could not be used and he was really affected.
Of course she knew that Xiao Yue would be unable to use his full strength if he had to protect her and deal with Pei Yingchun at the same time.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely stay close to Xiao Yue and not joke with her own life. But at this time, there were only her and Xiao Yue. If something happened to the latter, she would still face the result of starving to death in the laboratory, which she could not bear.
Moreover, Xiao Yue came here alone to save her. Even if she had a heart of stone, Shi had to admit that she softened her heart, not only because she was moved, but perhaps, also because of the joy that made the "Killer" fall in love with her?
