Qiao Xuejun raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the previous gunshot wound on the lantern fish.
·
Wu Haifan and his team had already fallen behind by some distance, and after catching up with the lantern fish, they did not dare to get too close for fear of angering the lantern fish, so they deliberately kept their distance. Now it would take several minutes to catch up with it.
He kept communicating with Qiao Xuejun on the walkie-talkie, but now he could only hear dense gunfire coming from the walkie-talkie.
Wu Haifan was terrified. He knew Qiao Xuejun's gun. It was a Glock given by the captain. It only had 17 bullets in total. At this rate, it would be empty soon.
Behind Wu Haifan, the patrol soldier was also holding a walkie-talkie and contacting Zhao Xian.
They had already told Zhao Xian the situation on their way to chase him. Zhao Xian was almost there and should have already reached the mountain.
"Captain! Teacher Qiao's plan worked!" The patrol soldier reported excitedly but restrainedly, "The lantern fish has been controlled by the purple flower toxin!"
Zhao Xian's voice was tense: "Cover Teacher Qiao's evacuation."
The patrol soldier added: "Teacher Qiao is exhausted and his leg is injured so he can't move... We are still some distance away from the battlefield between Teacher Qiao and the Lantern Fish!"
Zhao Xian's voice was hoarse: "Got it, hurry to the scene, I'll be there soon. Teacher Qiao's safety is the most important."
"Yes!" After the patrol soldier finished fighting, he said, "Captain, you don't need to explain this, we know it!"
Zhao Xian was already at the top of the mountain at a brisk pace. After hearing the news from the patrol team, he turned around and told the escort team: "Team One and the medical team will follow me up the mountain first, and Team Two will protect Professor Huo."
Huo Antu also heard the news and said nervously: "This is all my fault, otherwise..."
Zhao Xian's eyes were frozen as he interrupted coldly: "Just know it. There won't be a next time."
·
After the communication ended, the soldiers patrolling on the mountain had already approached the first battlefield.
Wu Haifan was still worried. He counted the gunshots. Twelve shots had been fired from the beginning to the end. He wondered if Qiao Xuejun's gun was fully loaded with bullets. If there were only these twelve rounds left... he didn't dare to foresee what the situation on the battlefield would be like now.
In fact, they had been worried once before when Qiao Xuejun was chased by a giant sea monster. The speed of the sea monster chasing people was not fast, but the terrifying thing was that it could chase people without getting tired. Human endurance was limited.
Being chased will stimulate the secretion of adrenaline and break through potential for a short period of time, but this potential can only last for a limited time. This is also a night operation, mountain roads, which is more difficult than when there is light.
Can Teacher Qiao do it?
It has been an hour since they came down from the mountain. The fact that Qiao Xuejun could hold on for so long was beyond the expectations of Wu Haifan and the others, so he blurted out the word "awesome" just now.
Now that Qiao Xuejun's leg is injured, she can't move or find cover. They can't just shoot randomly in the dark. If a stray bullet injures Teacher Qiao... that would be an outcome they cannot accept.
The captain couldn't accept it either.
So they could only suppress their impatience and worry and quickly rush to the scene of the incident.
They saw the figure of a huge monster. It seemed to be lying there, motionless, making only a buzzing sound of breathing like a bellows and a few cries of pain from time to time.
Where is Teacher Qiao?
The patrol soldiers went over with searchlights and only saw the sea monster.
It's over. Wu Haifan's heart sank. This sea monster eats people very quickly, and it can kill people in two bites...
"…Deputy Wu."
Wu Haifan heard a faint call, it was Qiao Xuejun's voice!
With ecstasy in his eyes, he immediately headed towards the source of the sound and saw a head popping out from under the sea monster's huge side fin.
It was like a bird hiding under an eagle's wings, evading the eagle's eyes and snatching a glimmer of hope in the dark.
Wu Haifan hurriedly stepped forward with his gun, only to find that the huge monster had already been motionless.
There was blood all over the ground.
They quickly dragged Qiao Xuejun out from the gap between the beast's side fins and body.
Qiao Xuejun's body was also covered in blood.
Wu Haifan asked hurriedly: "Teacher Qiao, where are you injured? Are you bleeding?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "It's not my blood. I hit the big fish in the belly and it bled. I just don't have the strength."
She had just played hide-and-seek with the big fish, and the fish, with its brain paralyzed, could not react and could only rush towards Qiao Xuejun. When Qiao Xuejun had finished firing her bullets, she took the opportunity to roll under its fins and hide.
But rolling around hurt my injured leg and I really couldn't move anymore.
Fortunately, Wu Haifan and his team arrived really quickly.
Qiao Xuejun immediately said, "Don't worry about me. It's just paralyzed, not dead. I've run out of bullets, you guys should deal with it quickly. The paralysis time is very short, maybe only about ten minutes."
Five minutes have passed.
The patrolling soldiers also knew what was important and after quickly settling Qiao Xuejun down on a nearby rock, they returned to the lantern fish.
Qiao Xuejun sat back on the rock, listening to the gunshots behind her. This time she was really relieved. She took a deep breath and finally dared to close her eyes.
Perhaps she was too tired, she felt her consciousness was a little confused and fuzzy, especially the noisy and dense gunfire behind her made it impossible to think.
She just felt sore all over. Every part of her body was screaming with pain from overexertion. Even her eyeballs were swollen and painful.
It was unknown how long it was before the gunfire stopped. She heard the sound of a knife being picked up. The sound was very skilled. It was the sound made by the patrol team when they were about to dissect a mutant.
Qiao Xuejun opened her eyes.
Um?
She saw someone in the distance running towards her in a hurry.
"Captain!" Wu Haifan shouted from afar.
The next second, Qiao Xuejun saw Zhao Xian appear in front of her.
Zhao Xian squatted in front of Qiao Xuejun. He was wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes. But those eyes alone could reveal shock and pain. He glanced up and down at Qiao Xuejun.
There's blood all over my body...how could this happen?
He reached out his hand towards Qiao Xuejun's face, wanting to wipe away the blood spots at the corners of her eyes, but he didn't dare to touch her.
Don't dare touch it at all.
"Medic!" he shouted, "Teacher Qiao needs..."
Qiao Xuejun raised her hand, grabbed the hand that Zhao Xian dared not extend to her, and smiled at him.
It was a smile that could be described as somewhat smug.
"Look, Zhao Xian. I'm super strong."
She smiled triumphantly, like a sunflower under the bright sun at noon, blooming with a dazzling brilliance that could not be blocked even by the blood stains all over her body.
