"Use you?" Qu Lian asked doubtfully, "How can I use you if I don't know martial arts?"
Chang Ge said in his mind: "Don't be afraid of this. You and I have a symbiotic contract. It doesn't matter whether it is man defending sword or sword defending man."
"Swordsman?"
"It's the plot we often see in TV and novel works, where a person gets an evil weapon and his personality suddenly changes and his martial arts skills improve greatly. This is the result of the person's weak mind being controlled by the sword. I won't control your mind. As long as you trust me with all your heart and give me your body, I can protect you." Chang Ge said.
Using swords to defeat people is also what Chang Ge's ancient sword is good at. When several tomb robbers killed each other in the ancient tomb, he was unconsciously controlling them. When he didn't have a clear independent consciousness, he was able to control countless people. Now his consciousness is a hundred times stronger than before, and Qu Lian trusts him unconditionally and opens his heart to him. In addition, with the effect of the symbiotic contract, Chang Ge will be able to control Qu Lian more easily than before.
"I'll give my body to you..." Qu Lian didn't know what she was thinking about. Her face suddenly turned red, and her peach blossom eyes were stained with a hint of bright color. "Don't worry, I have wanted to give my body to you for a long time."
After a long silence, Chang Ge Gu Jian said, "...After this rescue mission is over, it will probably be fine."
When Qu Lian heard this, he immediately got up, put on his clothes and was about to run.
Chang Ge said quickly, "Bring some supplies, at least food and blankets. Although it's just a drop in the bucket, it's better than nothing. Tell your assistant to buy supplies and send them to the disaster area immediately. By the way, do you have any money?"
Qu Lian once said that he had spent almost all his money in order to survive the tribulation, which made Chang Ge a little worried.
"Yes," Qu Lian nodded and said, "Although I have spent a lot, I still have an overdraft limit of 10 or 20 million. I will find a way to pay it back after I return to the disaster area."
"That's good," Chang Ge said, "Tell the assistant not to buy too expensive food and quilts, and focus on practicality. Instead of buying some flashy things, it's better to buy more so that you can help more people."
"Okay!" Qu Lian stuffed food and quilts from home into the trunk of the SUV, got in the car immediately, and drove to the earthquake site.
The earthquake site is more than 300 kilometers away from Lincheng. If you take the highway, it will only take two or three hours to get there. However, there was an earthquake just now, and I don’t know if there is any accident on the nearby highway. I am not sure about the road conditions either. Qu Lian can only take one step at a time.
Fortunately, if Chang Ge's consciousness is focused on a direction, he can still sense the road conditions within a few dozen kilometers, if not thousands of miles. With Chang Ge, Qu Lian stepped on the accelerator all the way, overtaking countless rescue vehicles ahead, and rushed to the disaster area at around 2 a.m.
As soon as he arrived at the disaster area, Qu Lian felt as if his heart was being pulled up by something.
A good town was reduced to ruins in a moment by the natural disaster. Under the rubble were injured or dead people. The nearby rescue team had already arrived and was conducting search and rescue work. Bloody stretchers were carried to an open area for centralized treatment, and some people who were confirmed dead were carried to the other side. Life seemed particularly fragile here. In a short moment, tens of thousands of lives were taken away.
"Who are you?" A soldier in camouflage uniform came over and said, "It's dangerous here, and there may be aftershocks. If you are here to deliver supplies, please go over there."
"I, I only have a few supplies here," Qu Lian looked back at his poor little off-road vehicle, "but it's too little. The rest of the supplies are being prepared and will be delivered soon. I came here to help. Can I help with the search and rescue?"
"You..." The soldier was very busy. He only had time to look him up and down before saying, "No, it's too dangerous. You should step back."
After saying that, he threw Qu Lian aside and led the team to continue digging in the ruins.
Qu Lian was left aside and wanted to go in to rescue him, but he didn't know what to do.
At this time he heard a familiar voice: "Mr. Qu?"
Qu Lian turned around and said in surprise, "Da... Ning Buzhe?"
Ning Buzhe and Lin Chenbing were the first group of search and rescue team members who followed the Lincheng Armed Police Brigade after receiving the news of the earthquake. Although they were only non-staff members, they were skilled and volunteered to come to the rescue, so the Armed Police Brigade was of course eager to have them.
"Why are you here?" Ning Buzhe glanced at Qu Lian's expensive casual clothes and frowned, "It's very dangerous here. There may be aftershocks. Go to a safe place."
"I'm here to help!" Qu Lian said, holding up the long spear. "This is our ancestral magic weapon. It's indestructible. At least it can be of great help in the excavation work."
"You don't know martial arts..." Ning Buzhe wanted to say something ridiculous, but after seeing Qu Lian's sincere eyes, he held back and asked, "Where is Yan Changge?"
"He was struck by lightning a few days ago and was injured..." Qu Lian blinked and said according to the original excuse.
Ning Buzhe was embarrassed by the so-called "being struck by lightning". Seeing Qu Lian's sincere look, he couldn't bear to let his enthusiasm go to waste, so he said: "Then follow me, but take care of yourself. If the injured person can only choose between you and me, I will save the injured person."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself!" Qu Lian assured quickly and followed Ning Buzhe into the disaster area.
He had no nursing knowledge, so he decided to join the excavation work instead of taking care of the wounded or carrying people. He saw several soldiers working together to lift a marble slab to rescue the person trapped underneath. The man's lower body was trapped, and he didn't know how badly he was injured. His face was covered in blood, and he looked at the PLA soldiers expectantly. However, it seemed that something on the marble was stuck on the wounded man. Every time the soldiers lifted the slab, the wounded man would wail in pain, leaving everyone at a loss as to what to do.
"Let me do it." A very handsome young man, wearing expensive clothes and holding a sharp sword, came up.
"Don't..." The squad leader hadn't finished his words when the young master swung his sword and chopped down. The sword seemed to have just touched the marble slab, and it was immediately cut in half like tofu. Everyone saw through the gap that there was a screw on the marble slab, deeply embedded in the victim's thigh. This kind of screw is very long and cannot be pulled out directly. Surgery is required. But there is still half a marble slab connected to the screw, and the person and the slab cannot be lifted away together.
Then everyone turned their attention to Qu Lian... and the sword in his hand. Qu Lian immediately rushed over, carefully adhered to the victim's thigh, and cut off the screw with one sword. The remaining screw was nailed in the flesh and needed to be removed immediately by surgery.
As soon as the screws and the marble slab separated, someone came up and carefully carried the injured away. At this time, someone shouted for help, so Qu Lian went over with a sword. With one strike, no matter how hard or big the stone was, it would break into pieces, which made the rescue work go smoothly and saved the injured from suffering.
Qu Lian thought that he could be used by Chang Ge to perform some unique martial arts, but when he really arrived at the scene, he found that no martial arts could be as strong as the invincible nature. Relying on Chang Ge's strong body, he saved countless people this afternoon.
Some people also saw that Qu Lian's strength lies in this sword, and wanted to borrow it. But when he took the sword in his hand, his arm was almost dislocated. The thing in Qu Lian's hand, which seemed like a plastic sword, weighed more than 100 pounds in other people's hands, which was equivalent to holding a living person in one hand. How could he have the strength to save people with this sword?
All of a sudden, everyone was impressed by Qu Lian. He could hold such a heavy sword, yet he was as light as a swallow and as fast as flying without any sign of fatigue. This was probably the legendary internal strength of martial arts masters.
Only when Ning Buzhe had time did he look at Qu Lian strangely with a look of surprise.
Qu Lian was busy all the time and didn't feel tired. Soon his body was dirty. After a whole night and a morning of search and rescue, most of the survivors on the ground were rescued. The next step was excavation work to rescue the people underground.
Qu Lian followed the excavation team and was about to go in. Ning Buzhe grabbed him and said, "There was already a big aftershock just now. Experts say there will be more. Tell the searchers underground to be careful. You are not a professional member of the team, so you cannot go down."
"It's okay, I can do it. You just saw it, my sword is very useful. I can split anything that is difficult to dig out, don't worry!" Qu Lian said to Ning Buzhe, and the long sword in his hand also made a buzzing sound at the right time, indicating that it was very useful.
"Then follow me closely!" Ning Buzhe held Qu Lian's hand in his, frowned and said, "What are you doing here, young master?"
Qu Lian looked at Ning Buzhe's back and couldn't help but whisper, "You don't know me well, why do you care about me so much?"
Ning Buzhe's back stiffened when he asked this question. He didn't answer, but just held Qu Lian's hand even tighter.
Ning Buzhe didn't know why he was so worried about Qu Lian. He was not familiar with Qu Lian and had only seen him once or twice with Yan Changge. But when he saw his figure in the disaster area before, he immediately felt worried. When he was saving people, he couldn't help but look at Qu Lian, fearing that something might happen to him.
It's obvious that they don't have much friendship.
Qu Lian whispered behind him: "I have always thought that it would be great if I had a big brother like you. I am very happy to be taken care of by you."
Ning Buzhe said nothing. They had already entered the underground. In the darkness, Qu Lian could not see that his ears were already red. Instead, the long spear in Qu Lian's hand shone with a cold light that saw through everything.
The excavation team is working hard to dig underground. This earthquake was very big, and many people were buried deep under the rubble. There are many people who are very likely still alive and are firmly waiting for rescue. The longer the time is delayed, the worse the possibility is. They must race against time, and not a single minute or a second can be wasted!
At this time, the long spear in Qu Lian's hand gave great help to the excavation team. There were some places that needed tools to dig, and Qu Lian just stretched out his hand and all the problems were solved. At the beginning, the excavation team was in the front, and Qu Lian would go up when he was needed. Later, it became Qu Lian who led the way, and the excavation team followed to clean up the garbage after he cleared the way.
They worked non-stop for a whole day and night. When they were hungry, Qu Lian would just eat a few bites of bread, and when they were thirsty, he would drink a sip of water, without taking any rest. If at the beginning he just wanted to help Yan Changge to gain some merit, now he really wants to help the people in the disaster area. Just now outside, he saw many family members who were not injured or slightly injured, crying and shouting that they wanted to follow the excavation team to rescue people and save their family members who were still buried underground. At that moment, he thought of a lot of things, about his parents who were killed after hiding him, about the desperate three days and three nights they spent looking for his eldest brother, and about the moment when he thought Yan Changge was dead...
If possible, he would devote all his strength to saving people and snatch these precious seconds from the hands of death.
"Take a rest." Qu Lian was unsteady and almost fell down. Ning Buzhe held him and said with some concern.
Qu Lian shook his head, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It's okay. I'm the only one who can use this sword now. It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired. The most important thing now is to save people."
Ning Buzhe also wanted to use the long spear and let Qu Lian rest for a while. But the sword was just as weird as Qu Lian said. It was not only extremely heavy for others to use, but they would hurt themselves if they were not careful. The sword was too sharp and would break if it touched their fingers. If others used it, it would only cause trouble.
But it had been a whole day and night, and Qu Lian, a pampered young master, hadn't slept at all. How could he bear it?
When Qu Lian was with the search and rescue team, some members around Ning Buzhe looked down on him. Qu Lian looked like a young master, and no one expected him to be a fighter. But who would have thought that he was not only the strongest fighter, but also able to persist for so long. The soldiers who exercised every day were exhausted, but Qu Lian was still fighting on the front line.
With Qu Lian clearing the way, they have already rescued dozens of survivors, some of whom were about to suffocate to death. If the excavation work had been a little slower, the lives they had just saved might not exist.
No one looked down on Qu Lian anymore, they followed him and worked hard. Ning Buzhe did not continue to persuade Qu Lian, but was determined to follow him all the time, and he would not rest until Qu Lian rested, and he must protect this young master.
As for why he cares so much about Qu Lian, Ning Buzhe has no idea. Just like he doesn't understand why he, a top-ranked swordsman in an underground boxing ring, would go to the Armed Police Brigade to teach soldiers martial arts and learn political theory, and now he has taken the initiative to ask Zhuan to come here to save people. Although he doesn't understand why he has become like this, Ning Buzhe likes this change. Compared to killing people in the boxing ring, he prefers saving people here.
Lin Chenbing was in another rescue team, and he didn't know why he took the initiative to rescue people, because as assistants, they didn't have to come. The soldiers were on a mission, but they were on duty.
Maybe it was because Yan Changge had told them before that they should do good things. After all, the contract was in Yan Changge's hands and he could not breach the contract.
The strange thought flashed through Lin Chenbing's mind for only a moment and then disappeared. In a situation like this, instead of thinking about so many things, it would be better to save one more person.
When Qu Lian was digging underground, there was another slight aftershock. The ground shook violently. Qu Lian was supported by Ning Buzhe, but his head still hit the wall, leaving bruises. Ning Buzhe held him in his arms with concern, fearing that something might happen to him.
"Evacuate quickly," the intercom said, "According to earthquake experts, there may be another aftershock of magnitude 5-6 in the next hour."
"Retreat quickly!" the search and rescue team leader said immediately after receiving the order.
"Wait!" Qu Lian felt the sword in his hand trembling. He swung the sword to split the wooden boards blocking the way in front of him. He turned on the searchlight and clearly saw several people trapped in front of him. It seemed that they were still alive.
"The person is still alive!" Qu Lian shouted loudly.
The search and rescue team members were also selfless soldiers. They saw through the gap that one of the people saw the light and tried to reach out to them for help. If they had seen these people and just retreated to avoid the aftershocks, they would be watching them die without helping!
"Dig!" the captain immediately ordered, "Save these people within ten minutes and evacuate quickly!"
No one was afraid of death and evacuated on their own. Everyone ignored the voices outside shouting to evacuate and worked hard to dig. They soon dug a passage, and the team leader said to Qu Lian: "It's open. We will save people, you evacuate first."
"No..." Qu Lian was the first to enter the passage and tried to push a wooden wardrobe on a person, but there was a stone on top and he couldn't move it. He swung his sword to split the wardrobe open and said to the captain, "I'll be faster this way, everyone hurry up."
The first wounded was carried out, followed by the second. One after another, the wounded and the soldiers were evacuated, leaving only Qu Lian, Ning Buzhe and several soldiers holding the stretcher.
After finally rescuing the last person, Qu Lian felt relieved. He swayed from exhaustion and was supported by Ning Buzhe.
"Go!" Ning Buzhe whispered in his ear.
Qu Lian nodded, and seeing that the wounded had been carried by the captain, he walked out with peace of mind. But after taking only two steps, he heard a faint cry!
Holding the sword, I walked towards the crying sound and found a child hiding in a collapsed closet, with blood all over his head, and he was obviously unconscious. If he hadn't just woken up and cried a little, everyone would have missed him.
Qu Lian quickly opened the closet, took the little boy out, and placed him on Ning Buzhe's back, and then the two of them walked out.
However, at this moment, an even more violent earthquake came.
Everything happened in an instant. The road they dug in front of them kept collapsing, and rocks from above fell towards them. Qu Lian didn't care about protecting himself and threw himself on the child on Ning Buzhe's body, allowing a huge rock to fall on him.
However, the expected impact did not come, and he and Ning Buzhe were not crushed. At some point, a fourth person appeared from the ground. That person held up a wooden board with both hands, and actually propped up the earth and rocks under them, creating a space for Qu Lian, Ning Buzhe and the child to hide!
The tremors soon ended, but they were buried in the tunnel. But Qu Liansi was not afraid at all. He hugged the man who held up the sky for him and choked up, "Yan Changge..."
His long spear turned into a person again.
"Well," Yan Changge nodded calmly, "Your supplies are in place."
Qu Lian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Yan Changge meant. They were saving people here, and Yan Changge was constantly gaining merit. When the supplies that he had previously instructed his assistant to deliver arrived, Yan Changge's merit was completely fulfilled, and he turned into a human in the moment of the aftershock.
Ning Buzhe looked at Yan Changge who suddenly appeared in surprise and asked, "How did you get in?"
"I arrived with the supplies." Yan Changge glanced at him. "If someone sees me outside and asks you about it, just tell them that."
As he finished speaking, Yan Changge turned into a ray of light in front of Ning Buzhe. The light flew into Qu Lian's hand and turned into a long sword, which was the indestructible long sword that Qu Lian had always held in his hand.
Ning Buzhe: "..."
Qu Lian was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he hugged the sword and kissed it non-stop.
Ning Buzhe: "..."
There was a lack of oxygen underground, so he was probably hallucinating.
The author has something to say: "Use you?" Qu Lian blushed and glanced at the hilt. "This is my first time. Is it okay to just use a prop like this?"
Yan Changge: ...
