"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
The howling of wild beasts outside the house was suddenly mixed with bursts of gunfire, and then the cries of the wild beasts became frightened, chaotic, and uneven.
Qiao Xuejun, who had been sitting on the table with her arms folded and eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and said with dark pupils: "They are here."
Unlike last time, this time Qiao Xuejun did not feel surprised or shocked. Instead, she felt relieved that everything had settled.
It was as if she had already determined in her heart that Zhao Xian would come sooner or later.
Other survivors also confirmed: "Yes! It was gunfire, the First Base is here to rescue us!"
Qiao Xuejun jumped down from the table, walked to the door, and opened an observation window on the door.
Through the palm-sized observation window, you can see the mutants outside.
The mutant tried to get in through the fine wire mesh on the observation window, but to no avail. As the gunshots rang out, the location of the gunshots outside also flashed brightly.
"Can we observe the outside from here? Why didn't you tell me before?" Huo Antu also went forward to take a look.
Qiao Xuejun closed the observation window with a snap: "What do you want? Do you want to admire the mutants? Do you want to catch one and take it home to raise?"
They had no way to deal with it at that time. What other purpose did opening the window have other than scaring people?
Huo Antu: "..."
It’s a bit offensive, but this is supposed to be expert teacher humor?
Huo Antu seized the opportunity to respond: "If Teacher Qiao wants to study it, I might try to catch one. It's just one, it's not difficult."
Then Huo Antu looked at Qiao Xuejun with visibly more disgust.
Huo Antu: "..."
Gunshots rang out outside the house continuously, and soon the howling of the beasts became quieter and farther away.
In the end, only a faint whimper was left.
It can be seen that the main support was very strong, and the beasts were beaten so badly that they had no power to fight back.
"Clean up the battlefield and collect blue oil raw materials." Zhao Xian's voice sounded outside. Even through the patrol booth, the voice was clearly audible.
This time is earlier than Qiao Xuejun imagined.
Qiao Xuejun heard the sound of a mutant being dragged across the ground outside.
Hearing that there was no danger, Qiao Xuejun pushed the door open.
There was a high beam light mounted outside, illuminating the entire patrol booth.
Qiao Xuejun didn't see anything because she was dazzled by the strong light and turned her head to the side and closed her eyes.
“Pah.”
When Qiao Xuejun heard the sound coming from the light, she opened her eyes again and found that the light had indeed dimmed and was not shining directly on her.
"Why did you come out?" Zhao Xian's voice came from in front of him.
Qiao Xuejun raised her eyes and saw Zhao Xian with a mask on his face. He was still covered in the common blood and blood. He was also filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and smoke. The rifle in his hand was still faintly emitting heat.
Behind Zhao Xian were the piled-up corpses of the mutants that had originally besieged the patrol booth. He walked past the layers of broken limbs and stood in front of Qiao Xuejun. Only a pair of eyes were revealed above his black mask. They were like an eagle's eyes, tightly furrowed as he lowered his eyes to stare at Qiao Xuejun.
Qiao Xuejun blurted out: "You are here."
Zhao Xian: "I'm late, sorry."
Qiao Xuejun shook her head and smiled: "Soon."
As Qiao Xuejun was speaking, she saw Zhao Xian reaching out his palm towards her, pressing her shoulder with one hand, and turning her with the other hand, looking her over and over.
Zhao Xian was very strong and had big hands, so Qiao Xuejun couldn't break free at all and could only let him check her up and down over and over again.
Qiao Xuejun: "It's okay, it's really okay. I'm super strong. If you don't believe me, ask them."
After finding out that Qiao Xuejun was not injured, but only had some scratches on her clothes, Zhao Xian's stern face seemed to slowly relax. He let Qiao Xuejun go, took out a mask from his bag, and put it on Qiao Xuejun's face: "You forgot to wear a mask again."
Qiao Xuejun adjusted his mask and asked with concern, "How are the soldiers in Group 3?"
Zhao Xian: "This Sea Lion team has a high degree of mutation, but its combat effectiveness is not too strong. There are injuries in the three groups, but no deaths."
"Where's the Great Ape?"
Zhao Xian: "That guy is the smartest. He hid in a cave half the height of a man. The sea lions couldn't get in, and the small creatures that could get in were no match for the big ape."
Anyone who dared to go into the cave would be shot down, and that guy killed many of them.
Qiao Xuejun finally relaxed: "Fortunately, nothing happened." At that time, the big ape left alone in order to lure away the sea lion.
Zhao Xian: "The soldiers from the Mountain Leopard Brigade have outstanding individual combat capabilities, so there is no need to worry."
When Zhao Xian said this, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
Everyone in the patrol booth also put on masks and walked out slowly. They looked at the pile of broken limbs and debris outside the door and expressed their gratitude to Zhao Xian. Zhiqiang: "Thank you, Lord, for bringing people to rescue us. Otherwise, we don't know how long we would be trapped by these beasts."
Zhao Xian: "No need. If you want to transfer to the First Base, you can go there at any time."
Huo Antu's eyes moved between Zhao Xian and Qiao Xuejun. These were obviously normal actions, but he always felt that he saw some kind of intimate atmosphere, which was not usual.
The look on Expert Qiao's face when he looked at Zhao Xian was the same as the look on his face when he looked at him...
When she faced Zhao Xian, her brows were full of relaxation and joy, completely different from the vigilance and disgust she had when facing him.
"Qiao Qiao, are you okay?"
Wang Juanfeng climbed over the corpses from the other side of the pile and came over to Qiao Xuejun. He said nervously, "You scared me to death. I heard that you encountered a beast tide again. I was really worried that you would get hurt like last time."
Qiao Xuejun shook her head and comforted Wang Juanfeng: "Last time I was the only one who could bear it, but this time the soldiers are here to bear it together. How can it be the same? Look, I'm fine."
Huo Antu suddenly froze. The last beast tide? Last time, wasn’t it Xingtang and that woman named Qiao… Last name, Qiao?
It's her!
Huo Antu suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked Qiao Xuejun up and down.
How is that possible?
Isn't the woman surnamed Qiao just a weak country woman? But today, Expert Qiao shot all the way with a gun and protected them to the patrol booth. No one in their team died, and Expert Qiao played an indispensable role.
Didn’t she say that she was almost killed by mutants in the last beast tide, and only survived thanks to Xingtang and Zhao Xian, and was waiting for Zhao Xian to save her the whole time?
After contacting Zhao Xian today, she took the initiative to say that they didn't need to come to rescue them first. There were so many mutant creatures surrounding them outside. After the last near-death experience in the beast tide, she didn't have any psychological trauma, wasn't she afraid?
She didn't seem to be afraid, and her hand holding the gun remained steady.
...How could such a person be helpless in the beast tide and wait for others to rescue him?
She is the woman that Zhao Xian has his eyes on... What on earth went wrong?
