Playing dead
These words were spoken so suddenly that everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Only Ling Shi reacted the fastest. The moment he saw the box, he knew what it was.
As soon as President Popov finished speaking, he stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and carefully took the transparent box.
Sure enough, it was the remains of a dragon horn.
Right sternum.
Ling Shi held the box, his eyes fixed on the remains within, a dazzling light emanating from within. "Thank you, President Popov. Your action is truly noble and holds immense significance for the future of humanity."
He didn't expect that the dragon horn from the Kingdom of Rams could be obtained so easily in such a way.
Sure enough, good people will be rewarded.
Of course, you also have to meet a good person like President Popov.
President Popov forced a smile and said, "I hope so."
After saying that, he lowered his head slightly and continued walking towards the door.
There was only one emergency light in the room, so his expression could not be seen clearly. No one knew what he felt after handing over such important supplies to the country for free.
The others followed him and walked towards the narrow door.
Perhaps it was the handover of the all-important dragon horn that caused a subtle touch of friendliness to creep into the atmosphere. Even Lu Tingxiao's expression was no longer tense.
Ling Shi almost felt as light as if he was flying in the clouds.
Zuo Hao was still in a dream: "Damn! Is the mission completed already?"
He pinched his cheek and made a hissing sound.
Lu Tingxiao turned around and said, "Yes, with your captain Ling as your lucky star, we will definitely succeed."
He glanced at Ling Shi with a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, this man's international etiquette came out automatically. He stepped aside and gestured for President Popov to leave first.
President Popov didn't hesitate to nod at him and walked towards the narrow metal path.
Zuo Hao wanted to say something, but Ling Shi pushed him away: "Stop nagging me. Wait until we get on the plane."
If you talk too much in front of the Rams people, you will inevitably get the illusion that all Chinese people have this kind of IQ.
Zuo Hao gave him a resentful look, but still walked out the door obediently.
Ling Shi followed behind, turning around and reminding: "Okafor, follow us closely."
Okafor was supporting a tall and strong soldier, who was very weak and half leaning on him. However, the height difference between the two was a bit big, and Okafor had a bit of difficulty in supporting him.
Okafor tried to keep his balance, breathing slightly: "Yeah. Don't worry about us."
At this moment, the soldier he was supporting suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Shi.
His eyes were bloodshot, and gray-black, smelly saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth. With a roar, he bit me without warning!
This man is corrupt!
Ling Shi reacted suddenly.
But they were too close and there was no time to dodge!
Just as he reluctantly turned sideways, intending to use his shoulders to withstand the blow, his entire body was suddenly hugged by someone and forcibly moved.
Oops.
The man bit Lu Tingxiao's arm.
Lu Tingxiao kicked him out three meters away.
It happened so suddenly that everyone else was confused.
Ling Shi grabbed Lu Tingxiao's arm, looked at the two rows of teeth marks under the torn clothes, and asked tentatively: "How do you feel?"
Logically speaking, a bite to a Dragon Warrior wouldn't be a big deal. Most people's hidden cells can keep their visible cells in check.
Except for one special case: the cells have reached a critical point.
But Lu Tingxiao can't be explained by common sense.
His eyes lost focus, he blinked slowly, and then fell neatly into Ling Shi's arms.
Ling Shi's hand trembled, and even the dragon horn fell to the ground. His first reaction was to hug Lu Tingxiao, and he immediately panicked: "Hey, hey, don't scare me!"
He's only just reached a new level, and with just this one bite, it seems like he's overdosed on cells again?!
Can this person change his crazy ability to absorb visible cells?
If you don’t have the skills, how can you take on the job?
Day by day, I became addicted to fainting!
He is the only one left here worrying about this!
Looking at the person with closed eyes in his arms, Ling Shi didn't care about anything else. He lowered his head slightly and kissed Lu Tingxiao's lips.
Warm breath flowed between their lips and teeth, and saliva was transferred, accompanied by the pounding hearts of the two people.
"Fuck... Shit..." Zuo Hao's stunned voice came from the side, but he stopped immediately, as if he realized something and was afraid of disturbing this strange yet heartwarming scene that shattered his pupils and shattered his worldview.
Ling Shi opened his eyes slightly, kissed the person in his arms, and observed his reaction.
I hope that this kiss can increase Lu Tingxiao's dark cells and help him get through this critical moment.
But the person in my arms still closed his eyes, and let me do what I wanted with his lips and teeth, but he didn't react at all.
Ling Shi kissed until he was out of breath, and finally raised his head.
No, this method is too slow.
He immediately ordered Zuo Hao: "Go, ask Ning Fu if he has disposable syringes with him. If not, go get a set for me from the plane immediately."
Zuo Hao opened his eyes wide, as if confirming that Ling Shi's actions just now were just to save people.
He responded, "Yes."
Just as he turned around, he turned back again and couldn't help but say: "Captain Ling, your sacrifice... is too great..."
At this moment, Lu Tingxiao, who had been unresponsive, suddenly groaned and slowly opened his eyes: "No, no need to get it."
"You're awake?" Ling Shi asked in surprise, "How do you feel?"
Lu Tingxiao supported his forehead and shook his head gently, still lying in Ling Shi's arms: "I have a headache. But I'm still conscious. Don't draw blood, it will cause too much damage."
As he muttered, he rubbed Ling Shi's chest, feeling his warm body temperature and elastic chest muscles, and was a little reluctant to get up.
Suddenly, his arm was pinched fiercely. The moment the pain hit him, Ling Shi's gritted teeth rang in his ears: "Are you fucking pretending?"
Lu Tingxiao shuddered, his strong desire to survive making him blurt out: "Of course not. How could I possibly lie to you..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he was doomed.
This is definitely not a realistic reaction from someone who is actually unconscious and wrongly accused.
As expected, Ling Shi pushed him away forcefully, his tone already tinged with anger: "You reacted quickly. I told you you were faking it, and you could refute me right away?"
Lu Tingxiao opened his mouth, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
Alas, I haven’t been an ambassador for so long that I’m no longer proficient in deceiving people.
It just so happens that Dr. Ling is smart and sharp, so it is difficult for him to hide the truth.
He simply changed his strategy, standing upright, with his head slightly lowered, his brows drooping, and a pitiful expression that said, "I know I was wrong."
Unexpectedly, Ling Shi pursed his lips slightly without being noticed, and soon returned to his original angry expression, but there was still a little mist in his eyes.
She seemed to be extremely angry and aggrieved, and almost cried.
Lu Tingxiao's heart skipped a beat.
It's over.
He had never seen Ling Shi with such an expression before. It was as if a white and hard clam shell suddenly revealed a bit of the soft tender flesh inside.
But this tender flesh is his fatal spot, forced out by his own mischief.
Not only his people were doomed, but Ling Shi would also definitely hold them accountable, and it would be a severe one.
It was also his heart that was moved by Ling Shi's soft and aggrieved attitude, and it suddenly sank into the deepest part of the clam shell and could not get out no matter what.
Although I am touched, I still have to try to save it.
Lu Tingxiao immediately tugged at Ling Shi's sleeve with two fingers, wanting to pinch but not daring to: "I won't dare to do that again."
A person who is usually domineering and strong, showing the pitiful attitude of a little girl, being humble and admitting his mistakes, even a heart of stone would be moved.
Unexpectedly, Ling Shi slammed his hand open and said coldly, "Captain Lu's acting skills are first-rate. It's a shame for him not to become an actor."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Tingxiao to react, he picked up the broken dragon horn bones that had just fallen from the ground and walked into the narrow metal path without looking back.
Lu Tingxiao suppressed his pitiful expression, followed behind silently, and went out.
He just pretended to faint, although it was a subconscious reaction, but if you think about it, he actually wanted to see Ling Shi's heart, to know Ling Shi's reaction when he was injured, and to find out if Ling Shi had anything else for him besides the friendship between comrades.
It can be said that he tried it out a little.
Ling Shi didn't hesitate at all and kissed Zuo Hao in front of him.
God knows how excited he was when their lips and teeth touched.
But this method of probing was truly a rotten trick. He deserved the current situation.
Oh, I'm so mad, I don't know how to coax him back.
Ling Shi walked quickly in front of him and went downstairs directly to meet with the rest of the White Eagle Team. He solemnly and coldly repeated the matter of the real and fake Rams presidents, and then told people to send several real politicians who were malnourished and dying to the plane for food and water, and then to detain the two fakes waiting downstairs and escort them to the plane together.
Throughout the whole process, the other White Eagle team members clearly sensed the strange atmosphere. They didn't ask why Ling Shi was giving orders and why Lu Tingxiao was following behind like a little wife without saying a word. They just followed the orders obediently, and their actions were surprisingly quick and efficient.
After everyone was seated on the plane, Lu Tingxiao squeezed half of Ling Shi's butt and forced his way to sit next to him.
But Ling Shi turned his head and looked out the porthole, leaving him with only the back of his head.
Lu Tingxiao racked his brains and thought about his years of experience in verbal battles with a group of old foxes in Country M, but now he couldn't utter a single word.
Alas, I have to bear the consequences of my own sins.
Makino started the plane and flew to the Chinese base.
Overall, this mission went very smoothly. After arriving at the base, Xiao Yang had to send two planes to move the people from the two-story building over.
Although they were all members of the gang of robbers following the fake president, they were still human beings, and could be considered strong laborers. After a unified investigation and trial, those who should be released would be released, those who should be imprisoned would be imprisoned, and those who should be executed would be executed at a later time.
However, although the mission went smoothly, there was complete silence on the plane.
For the ten-odd hours of the journey, the entire space was as silent as if cast by some kind of silencing spell. The only sounds were the occasional whisper and Makino's announcement of the flight route.
Finally, after a long period of suppression, the plane arrived at the lawn outside the Chinese base.
Lu Tingxiao rubbed his heart, which was almost broken with regret, stood up, and planned to assign tasks to everyone.
Before he could utter a single word, Ling Shi said, "Everyone, rest where you are. Lu Tingxiao, go to the ground and take the remains of the dragon horn to the lab. Then, transfer all the people from Rams Nation to the ground."
"Ma Minghong, please take inventory of the supplies. If anything is missing, have the ground staff replenish it immediately."
"I'll give you half an hour. In half an hour, everyone will set off for Australia and America."
When these two sentences came out, everyone was stunned and no one spoke.
Lu Tingxiao was the first to react and saluted respectfully: "Yes."
My goodness, Ling Shi finally made a request, and he immediately complied. Now, even if Ling Shi wanted the moon in the sky, he would have to find a way to build a ladder.
Seeing that the captain saluted the deputy captain, Ma Minghong answered "yes" without saying a word and took action immediately.
The rest of the people dared not ask a single question, nor move an inch, but waited silently in their seats, their eyes fixed on the situation.
But to be honest, it's rare to see such a scene where team members sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor while the captain runs around all the time. It's quite pleasant to watch...
Only Zuo Hao was scratching his head, wanting to speak but not daring to.
Aren't any of you curious about why this situation has happened? Ask me!
About 20 minutes later, Lu Tingxiao and Ma Minghong completed the task.
Ma Minghong came to report: "Captain Ling, the supplies will be delivered in about ten minutes."
Ling Shi nodded: "We'll set off once the supplies are delivered."
Finally, someone who dared to speak up stood up. Ning Fu walked over to Ling Shi's chair and looked at him questioningly: "Captain Ling, you don't look well. Don't you want to go back to base and rest?"
"What's the point of resting?" Lu Tingxiao finally seized the opportunity and said righteously, "It's only been two days since the mission, are you tired? What's wrong with you, Team Ling? You're full of energy and in great shape!"
Ning Fu pursed his lips, looked at Lu Tingxiao, then looked at Ling Shi who was looking out the window silently, and obediently returned to his seat.
Alright. The last person who dared to speak was also scolded back by Lu Tingxiao.
The plane began to move, preparing to take off.
Ling Shi suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the captain's cabin: "Muye, you and Chu Yi go and rest. I'll drive."
Makino was stunned: "It's okay, Captain Ling, this level of strength is nothing."
Ling Shi walked to the captain's seat and patted him on the shoulder: "Follow orders."
Makino had no choice but to slowly stop the plane and make room for the seat.
Ling Shi sat in the captain's seat and fastened his seat belt: "Ask Ma Minghong to be the co-pilot."
Makino: “Yes.”
However, before he turned around, he heard Lu Tingxiao walk in.
Lu Tingxiao: "Don't call him, I'll do it."
Ling Shi frowned and wanted to say something.
Lu Tingxiao said: "Obey orders."
This time, Ling Shi took a deep breath and said nothing.
According to his rank, he did have to obey orders. Lu Tingxiao had been willing to cooperate with his previous antics, but once he had an idea, and it was within the scope of his mission, Ling Shi couldn't refute it.
So, the two of them sat in the captain's cabin, one on the left and one on the right, quietly operating the aircraft instrument panel, slowly leaving the ground and flying towards Australia and America.
Inside the cabin, the captain and vice-captain left, and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief and become a little more lively.
Zuo Hao lowered his voice and vividly described to his comrades what had just happened in Rams Country.
Not only did he talk about the whole process of Lu Tingxiao offending Ling Shi, but also about the kiss between them. Hearing this, the entire White Eagle team was stunned.
"The captain and vice-captain..." Chu Yi knocked his thumbs together, a look of disbelief on his face, and asked with difficulty: "...are they doing this?"
Ma Minghong and the other three all kept their mouths shut and said nothing.
Lu Tingxiao's coming out in front of everyone in the First Army was a huge scandal and was widely known. It was this incident that cost him his position as captain of the White Eagle Team.
A hint of darkness flashed across Ning Fu's face.
But Zuo Hao waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "What are you thinking about? That's Captain Ling rescuing Captain Lu. CPR. Chu Yi, ah Chu Yi, what kind of dirty crap is in your head?"
Hearing what he said, Ma Minghong and the other three looked strange, as if they were holding something back, and didn't say a word.
Chu Yi frowned and thought for a while: "Oh."
Everyone listened with great interest. No matter how different their conclusions were, they all had the same understanding: if they offended Lu Tingxiao, they could still be saved, but if they offended Ling Shi, they would be doomed.
