Chapter 79 Everyone is still reliable
Three candidates flashed through Qi An's mind. After thinking for a moment, she said to Zhao Bohan, "We still need to ask our superiors for help, at least that way we can leave a record of our request for assistance."
Zhao Bohan paused slightly, "Yes, but that won't help our current predicament."
Qi An waved, and Zhao Bohan leaned towards the passenger seat. Qi An whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhao Bohan's eyes widened for a moment, but after a long pause, he nodded: "Yes."
"I trust the vice-captain," Qi An said, taking out his phone.
After exchanging a few more words, the two started sending messages and making phone calls.
One hour on the return trip, Zhao Bohan, Zhuang Xiao in the other car, and even the assassin Liu Hui all started to develop high fevers.
Everyone has self-healing abilities, but self-healing requires rest. They don't have a moment to rest; their minds and bodies are constantly tense.
During the two-hour return trip, Yu Shuang woke up once and murmured, "Xiao Qi?"
Qi An, who had been dozing in the passenger seat, was startled awake and quickly turned around to say, "I'm here."
"Okay." Yu Shuang didn't know if she saw Qi An clearly, or if she was truly awake. She uttered one word, smiled, and then lost consciousness again.
Her portable oxygen was gone, her breathing was shallow and rapid, and her lips had turned purple.
Su Qingran gave her the last injection of morphine and leaned against the side, utterly exhausted.
Seeing the situation, Qi An said to Zhao Bohan, "I'll drive."
She felt much better after taking a nap, probably because her strange self-healing ability was working.
Zhao Bohan didn't insist and switched places with her. He made sure Yu Shuang could still manage before sitting in the passenger seat.
He was almost unconscious within seconds of sitting down.
In the other car, Zhuang Xiao also couldn't hold on any longer, and Zhang Huaiqian was driving.
He had never driven a car before, and he had hardly ever ridden in one, but seeing Zhuang Xiao's face as white as paper and her body swaying as if she could drive the car into a ditch at any moment, he was terrified!
However, Zhang Huaiqian has a strong learning ability. Under Zhuang Xiao's guidance, he quickly got the hang of it and was able to keep up with the car in front of him.
The midday sun grew intense, and what everyone could see no longer seemed to be the verdant mountains and rivers, but rather a blinding, blazing white.
Qi An felt he could hold out until he reached the base, which was also close to the outer outposts.
However, a car did indeed appear to the side and in front.
A van, wobbling and swaying, headed straight for their two vehicles!
"Enemy attack!" Qi An shouted.
The shout was hoarse, but it immediately woke up everyone in both cars!
Qi An jerked the steering wheel, dodging a barrage of machine gun fire!
However, bullets still managed to penetrate the vehicle and even pierce the windows!
Qi An slammed on the brakes, glanced inside the car, and asked, "Has anyone been shot?"
"No!" Su Qingran said, but she was startled because Yu Shuang had been jolted by the sudden braking, and her breathing became even more rapid, with one side of her chest visibly bulging!
Tension pneumothorax may lead to shock!
Qi An's face also turned pale, but she couldn't stop now. She half-crawled, braving the bullets as she turned and fled backward!
The car behind was immediately exposed, and Zhang Huaiqian was stunned.
He's just learning to drive; he hasn't learned car chases before!
Zhuang Xiao roared, and he hurriedly turned the corner, but by then the van was only one kilometer away from them.
Another burst of bullets hit Zhang Huaiqian's car, shattering his rear window!
Zhuang Xiao was grazed on the cheek by a bullet. She curled up in the car and cursed.
With that kind of firepower, he couldn't even get a chance to retaliate; he'd be killed the moment he showed his face!
Liu Hui, who was standing next to him, shuddered and then stopped moving.
The van was 500 meters away from them. The squinting man inside chuckled, "They really can't fight back now, a tiger fallen into the plains..."
He wanted to use a literary phrase, but then realized it sounded like he was insulting himself, so he quickly shut up.
But he had just closed his mouth and was thinking of a suitable idiom from the library of everyday idioms about protruding mouths in his mind when he suddenly heard a gunshot, followed by a scream!
Gunshots and screams came from his car!
He squinted and quickly turned his head, when a bullet flew by and hit him right in the temple!
He was stunned, and then died the next second after that stunned silence.
The passenger in the squinting seat was shot, and at the same time, the man in the back seat who was firing a light machine gun also died.
Then the van was hit hard and almost overturned!
The driver was nearly knocked unconscious by the airbag and before he could react, he was shot dead!
The five people in the vehicle, almost all the manpower that the ranch could send out, were almost all killed within minutes!
The van was leaning to one side of the road.
The three-row SUV that hit it also stopped, and two girls got out of the car, one on each side.
Sun Yiran shot the last person in the head, and You Zi, carrying a large field medical kit in one hand, ran towards the two thugs' cars that had stopped in front of her.
【We've arrived, just in time!】 Chen Yuezhou's seemingly calm but actually extremely cold voice came through You Zi's earpiece, sending chills down her spine even from hundreds of kilometers away.
Qi An saw what was happening behind her in the rearview mirror. Her heart, which had been pounding in her chest, slowly calmed down. After stepping on the brakes, she slumped onto the steering wheel for a moment, feeling completely limp.
However, Yu Shuang's condition remains dangerous; her breathing sounds as if she is about to suffocate!
Qi An hurriedly got out of the car and waved: "Here! We need medicine here!"
Upon seeing Qi An, You Zi's tension and worry from the journey eased, and she quickly said to Chen Yuezhou:
She's alright, they should all be alright too.
There was a moment's pause on the other end: [Okay, take them back to the base hospital.]
【yes! 】
You Zi ran to Qi An's car and opened the first aid kit.
Su Qingran pounced on the feast like a starving person, and after a quick glance, she was practically moved to tears!
Oxygen, thoracentesis needles, IV sets, antibiotics, burn dressings... everything you could need!
She quickly described everyone's injuries, and with You Zi's assistance, she performed a puncture on Yu Shuang, then put her on oxygen and an IV drip, changed Tang Long's hemostatic bandage, and gave everyone antibiotics and dressings.
Everyone's condition quickly stabilized.
Qi An no longer needs purification, because You Zi is there.
She and Zhao Bohan looked at each other, both extremely tired, but smiled at each other.
Qi An had previously thought he could contact Chen Yuezhou, but then he realized that Chen Yuezhou was also on a mission today and probably, like them, didn't have a private communication channel.
However, Zhao Bohan reminded her that this rule only applies to teams with low privileges.
Chen Yuezhou is going to be a battlefield commander. He is not under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Base No. 3 at all. Who would cut off his network?
Qi An was immediately persuaded, but even though Chen Yuezhou cherished talent and was willing to help them, he had headed north this morning, and the two places were now many kilometers apart.
"Qin Tianshuo's team is on standby at our base and has already been selected by Chen Yuezhou."
"He can give them orders to leave the base," Zhao Bohan said.
The day after he and Yu Shuang reached an agreement with Chen Yuezhou in Qi'an, they went to see Chen Yuezhou. Chen Yuezhou made it clear that he would take both Chengfeng Team 2 and Qin Tianshuo's team with him during the war.
During his few days at the base, Chen Yuezhou must have already reported the selections of these two teams to the North First Command.
He can command Qin Tianshuo's squad, which is on standby.
Therefore, as long as those friends who had the dinner party are still reliable, they have a glimmer of hope!
As it turns out, everyone was indeed reliable!
Qi An got into Sun Yiran's spacious three-seater vehicle, which had been used as a medical vehicle when they were transporting insect oil, and You Zi gently applied a dressing to him.
Seeing the truly horrific injuries on Qi An's body, You Zi applied medicine while feeling incredibly angry and choked up.
This is her idol! Her savior!
Sun Yiran felt sorry for you and exclaimed, "Your base is really scary! Why don't you come to our base? With your strength as a purifier, you'll definitely be treated like royalty by our brigade and even our regimental commander!"
Qi An smiled and was about to speak when Zhuang Xiao called out in a panic, "Sister Qi... Vice Captain, that survivor is dead!"
