Chapter 103 Chapter 105 Should we run away?
Ji Cunxi's current image is very different from before.
Before, he looked careless, frivolous, and had a face that looked like he had kidney deficiency. Now, the long hair that was blocking his eyes has been shaved into a buzz cut, and his always flashy clothes have been replaced with a crisp and handsome combat uniform. He looks clean and refreshed from head to toe, with deep eyes that are slightly melancholy, an upright posture, and his clenched hands with distinct joints. He looks thin and strong, and his temperament has undergone a drastic change from before.
Yang Chao walked up to Ji Cunxi and said, "We are here to carry out a mission. Don't create unnecessary trouble or act on your own. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Yang Chao specifically whispered this to him. Ji Cunxi knew that he didn't want to make it public, so he didn't say much and just nodded in agreement.
On the civilian team's side, just when Yan Xiaoyuan's legs were shaking with fear, the mercenaries who came to recruit reserve members reacted.
Although they were surrounded, the other side were unarmed civilians after all. If they drew their weapons, they were afraid of causing conflicts. The leader of the mercenaries was Feng Haoyang, the company commander of a company under Ning Qingtian. He acted decisively and quickly commanded the soldiers to form a protective formation to protect the people in the logistics team.
Including the logistics team brought by Feng Haoyang, there were only about a hundred people in total. Judging from the people watching the riot, there were probably three to five hundred people. They were not armed and did not take any action. They just surrounded the area.
Feng Haoyang knew that the captain would definitely take action. He just needed to stabilize the people on the scene, control his men, not let them lose their composure, and not to conflict with the other side. At most, their people would come to support him in a moment.
"Scatter, scatter, what do you want to do?" When Feng Haoyang was shouting until his mouth was dry and he was trying to stabilize his men and the situation on the field, Yang Chao came over with his men and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
Even the heavy artillery team drove over with armored vehicles.
The crowd, which had been very excited before, gradually quieted down.
Under the intimidation of the black muzzle of the armored vehicle, no one dared to speak.
But no one was willing to disperse.
The scene was in a stalemate.
"The convoy is about to set off. Why are you all standing here in a stalemate? What do you want to do?" Yang Chao asked loudly.
"Many of us are injured. We don't know what bit us, and now we're itchy and painful. If we develop a high fever on the road like the girl just now, and then get attacked by monsters, we'll have no chance of survival." A middle-aged woman with a neat ponytail, glasses, and a gentle look stood up and said loudly.
Before she finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement from the crowd.
"Yes, yes! Professor Hai expressed our thoughts. We have all been bitten. We want treatment. We want to stay alive." Some people in the crowd said excitedly. Most of them had wounds on their bodies.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. People who are bitten usually don't have a fever. This girl just has an allergic constitution, and her body is having a stress response." The female doctor held Yan Xiaoyuan's hand, mustered up the courage to stand up and speak.
"Can you guarantee that we won't have a fever? What if we do?" someone in the crowd asked sharply.
"Before we set off, our team leader reminded you that you are responsible for your own food and lodging, and your own life and death. We will not rescue you. Have you all forgotten?" Yang Chao shouted in a cold voice.
"Then how did you save the child?" The questioning from the crowd made the female doctor's face pale. She didn't expect that her instinctive help would become a reason for others to make trouble and threaten her.
The army won’t fire me for this, will it? The female doctor’s fingers trembled nervously when she thought of this. Yan Xiaoyuan held her hand and reminded her in a low voice, “You only gave her first aid, but you didn’t cure her.”
The female doctor regained her senses instantly. She couldn't bring trouble to the team, so she had to take on the responsibility of dealing with the problem she had caused.
"Everyone, this child just had an emergency, and the emergency rescue was just instinctive. Please ask the guardian to find your team doctor for follow-up." As soon as the female doctor finished speaking, there was another round of chatter in the crowd.
"Please be quiet. Last night, many soldiers in our team were bitten by mosquitoes. As of this morning, no one has a fever. This child has a physical problem. There is a simple and effective way to deal with this kind of wound. Apply saline gauze to the wound, which will quickly reduce inflammation and swelling. You can go back and deal with it yourself." The female doctor calmed down, took the megaphone handed over by Feng Haoyang and shouted loudly. Facing Feng Haoyang's encouraging eyes, her aura became stronger. After all, the armored vehicles on her side have already come out. What was she afraid of just now? Not as brave as the newly recruited team members.
Thinking of how Yan Xiaoyuan was obviously trembling with fear, yet still bravely stood in front of her, the female doctor felt her face burning, and at the same time, she felt a little fond of Yan Xiaoyuan, who was a friend in need.
"Sister Rong, I just saw the guy with the sickle." Jiang Jie ran back hurriedly and said. He was watching the fun in the crowd, but unexpectedly he saw a face that left a deep impression on him.
Although the man's temperament seemed very different from before, Jiang Jie still recognized him at a glance.
Rong Xianxian was making rice balls in the RV. She steamed a pot of rice and planned to roll some rice balls with seaweed and wrap them with meat floss, ham, egg pancakes, kimchi or seaweed. She also opened a can of eel and made some eel hand rolls, which tasted very good.
After hearing Jiang Jie's words, Rong Xianxian paused for a moment and then continued to work.
"Where did you see it?" Rong Xianxian asked calmly. Although she had tampered with Ji Qing's sword before, she had always felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.
After dinner yesterday afternoon, Cui Lie went to wander around the team where Ji’s father and son had been, but did not see Ji Cunxi.
He asked someone and found out that after the war, Ji Cunxi returned to the team and drove the big truck that he and his son were riding in and left, and never came back.
The truck was sturdy and could carry a lot of things. There were quite a few people driving large trucks in the civilian team. Cui Lie took a look around and found nothing, so he came back.
"I saw it in the mercenary team." Seeing Rong Xianxian's calm expression, Jiang Jie's tone also became relaxed.
"That guy got his hair cut and his body straightened up. He looks very energetic. Sister Rong, when do you think he will come to cause trouble for us? He has mercenaries as his backing. Should we run away?" When Jiang Jie talked about whether to run away, there was obvious eagerness in his tone.
Rong Xianxian was almost laughed at by him. Why was he so excited when talking about running away? Did he think his life was too peaceful and comfortable?
