Chapter 169: Trap [Update 1]
Ruan Xi was extremely tired and slept for three days and three nights. When he woke up, the Eagle Squadron had just successfully landed on the destination planet. If Ruan Xi didn't wake up, they would have planned to request support from the base.
"Uh..." Maybe because he slept for too long, Ruan Xi didn't feel unwell anywhere, just a little dizzy. He subconsciously wanted to sit up, but he lay down again. It took him a long time to open his eyes again.
Gradually, his dizziness subsided and he could see clearly again. He then realized that he was lying in a tent and there were familiar sounds outside.
"He Ziqian..." Ruan Xi called out subconsciously. He didn't even realize that there was a hint of coquettishness in his voice. He just couldn't wait to see He Ziqian, a safe and sound He Ziqian.
The voices outside stopped immediately. Someone arrived at the door of the tent, quickly walked over to Ruan Xi, and without saying anything, hugged him tightly in his arms. "You're finally awake, Ruan Xi. You scared me."
Ruan Xi slept for three days straight and no matter how we called him, he wouldn't wake up. Occasionally, his breathing would become very weak, as if he was about to die at any moment. Everyone was so frightened that their hearts began to beat fast and they dared not sleep.
"You scared me too! You were gone when I woke up, lying unconscious in the energy cabin. I was really afraid that I would find you later..." There was no time to think about these things at the time. Now Ruan Xi became more and more scared. She used her arms to hug He Ziqian's neck tightly and refused to let go.
He is strong and independent, but he will also be afraid when something happens to the person he loves.
Fortunately, he is a doctor and a wood-type mutant. As long as there is still a breath, he has a way to save him.
"I'm sorry, I won't do it again..." He Ziqian kept murmuring apologies to Ruan Xi, his whole face buried in Ruan Xi's neck. The posture of the two of them was like swans sleeping neck to neck, beautiful and warm.
Therefore, those who were a little slow to rush in to show concern for the young doctor were covered in a basin of hot dog food. All their worries disappeared, leaving only helplessness and confusion in their hearts.
What did I do wrong? Why do I always have to be forced to eat dog food without warning? Do single people not deserve human rights?
Ruan Xi didn't care what kind of mental storm other people were going through at the moment. He just wanted to hug his lover tightly and confirm his real existence. The fear of almost losing him made his heartbeat and breathing unstable, and He Ziqian's body temperature and voice were the right medicine for the disease.
Everyone was forced to eat a bowl of dog food. After standing there for a while, they all tactfully retreated and continued to do their own work.
It's a good thing that the little doctor has woken up, but their mission has to continue, and there is no need to consider the next grouping. The captain and the little doctor must be grouped together. They are teammates, so they can't be too tactless. No one wants to disturb other people's world of two, so Ruan Xi and He Ziqian are destined to be alone again.
Well, the saying "two are left alone" sounds very trendy.
"So, next we will be in a group of two again? Are you sure?" It's unscientific that no one is willing to follow such a powerful combat + medical combination!
"I don't know whether it's scientific or not, but I'm afraid of being struck by lightning if I disturb your love affair!" Lao Ba's eyes flashed with gossip, and he talked nonsense seriously.
"I think I need to lose some weight. I can't handle all this dog food..."
"Captain, little miracle doctor, please let me go!"
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian: “…” Damn, what a bunch of idiots!
Then, everyone burst into uncontrollable laughter, and the remaining embarrassment and discomfort disappeared in the laughter.
Ruan Xi was very grateful for this and thought, when he returns to the Imperial Capital Star, he will treat these idiots to a hot pot meal. This time, he will try a different way and make seafood hot pot!
There has never been anything to worry about when it comes to the internal grouping of the Goshawk Squad. They implement the principle of free combination based on functional allocation, and then each member can set out to perform their mission.
However, they soon discovered something wrong. This border planet was indeed an uninhabited primitive planet, and there were indeed many precious minerals on the planet, but there was no main target they were looking for - minerals that could cause irreversible damage to alien races.
"Hasn't there been samples studied? Then it should really exist. But we have turned this primitive planet upside down and can't find any good ore. Is it that the base information is wrong, or..." Xu Ze did not say the other possibility directly, but everyone had already guessed it.
Especially Ruan Xi and He Ziqian, they are the direct sources of the information about the "mastermind". Now it seems that it has been confirmed that this mission is most likely a trap!
"For the next action, don't split up anymore to prevent a trap!" He Ziqian gave the order without hesitation. Everyone did not split up into groups, but acted collectively, preparing to conduct a more thorough search. If they found nothing, they would leave the planet first to avoid falling into the trap of an unknown enemy.
However, their vigilance came a little too late.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the simple camp that the Eagle team had just built was blown to pieces. Fortunately, no one was in the tent when the explosion happened, otherwise, they would most likely have been killed.
But the last one to walk out of the tent, Lao Ba, was still seriously injured by the aftermath of the explosion. His entire back was turned into a bloody mess and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Lao Jiu was closest to him, and he almost immediately rushed over to protect the man, thus avoiding secondary injuries.
Lao Jiu put Lao Ba in front of Ruan Xi, and immediately took out his weapon. Together with the others, he stood guard around and surrounded Ruan Xi and Lao Ba to protect them.
Ruan Xi was concentrating on helping Lao Ba treat the wound on his back. Lao Ba was seriously injured. External injuries were secondary. The most fatal thing was the internal injuries. Almost all of his organs were damaged. It was no exaggeration to say that his life was hanging by a thread. Fortunately, Lao Ba was also an evolved human, and his body had a strong self-repair function. Coupled with Ruan Xi's dual treatment of medicine and supernatural powers, he finally got the person back before the god of death took action.
At this point, Ruan Xi could no longer care about anything else. He used his wood-based abilities to completely heal Lao Ba's internal injuries until he was exhausted. Panting, he bandaged the injury on Lao Ba's back, then sat down on the ground exhausted, leaning on someone's legs.
But soon, he knew whose leg it was.
"Ruan Xi, how is Lao Ba?" When He Ziqian asked, Han Qing on the side had already turned his head to look over. He happened to see Lao Ba slowly opening his eyes, and also saw Ruan Xi who was obviously exhausted. Doubts arose in his heart.
Was Old Eight so lucky that he didn't suffer any internal injuries? Then how could Ruan Xi be so exhausted after such a treatment?
"I'm fine... Damn, I thought I was going to die... Huh? Only my back is injured? Then I'm so lucky..." Lao Ba was knocked unconscious from the beginning and had no idea how badly he was injured. I'm afraid that except Ruan Xi, no one else knew his true injury and just thought he was lucky to have only suffered some minor skin injuries.
But when He Ziqian saw Ruan Xi like this, he knew that Lao Ba must have been seriously injured, and perhaps even lost his life, which was why Ruan Xi was so weak after the treatment.
He Ziqian felt very distressed, but at this time, he couldn't say much. He just silently helped the man up and held him in his arms lightly to comfort him.
"We're surrounded by enemies, and the situation is unclear. Stay with me, we're preparing to break out!" He Ziqian's voice was extremely low. Ruan Xi nodded after listening, then remained silent for two seconds before asking in confusion, "Why don't you use a mecha?"
Now is the perfect time for Chi Lin to show off his skills! He's so tired that his legs are weak, and it will take some time for him to recover. If a battle really breaks out right away, how can he possibly keep up with He Ziqian?
It will cool down in minutes!
However, after Ruan Xi asked, he only received a strange silence, and he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.
"You won't be able to summon the mecha, right?" Ruan Xi swore that he was just saying it casually and didn't really mean to curse his team. As a result, he really hit the nail on the head and accurately pointed out the truth.
Holy shit, this isn't the way to play it! Is this really a trap set by the enemy?
"Here they come!" After Ren Wei's reminder, the battle started immediately. Ruan Xi was taken away by He Ziqian, and the still weak Lao Ba had been carried away by Lao Jiu. All the members of the Goshawk Squad had a tacit understanding, and they were not afraid at all when facing enemies that were at least three times their number.
However, this was a trap set specifically for them. No matter how well they coordinated or how fearless they were, they were ultimately unable to withstand the conspiracy that was set one after another.
"Boom..." There was another loud bang. In order to protect Lao Ba and Lao Jiu, Yun Sheng was almost blown into the sky. He was blown back by the aftermath of the explosion and fell heavily on a tree. Seeing that the enemy was surrounding him and about to kill him, the others roared in anxiety.
He Ziqian and Ruan Xi were closest to Yunsheng. Ruan Xi had no time to care about himself at the moment. He grabbed his gun and started shooting. However, his body had not recovered yet, so his aim was a little off. "Ziqian, go save Yunsheng quickly. I'll cover you!"
Ruan Xi was at least protected by a big tree, so He Ziqian didn't think too much and immediately rushed to Yun Sheng to rescue him. However, when he rescued Yun Sheng and turned back to look for Ruan Xi, he saw Ruan Xi, who was already unconscious, being carried onto a flying vehicle by a man in black. He couldn't catch up with him and could only watch the aircraft leave and quickly disappear into the sky.
"Ruan Xi!"
"Little Miracle Doctor!"
He Ziqian and others shouted anxiously at the same time. No one saw how the man in black caught Ruan Xi. They only hated themselves for not being able to notice it in time, let alone rescue him in time. Bao Neng had to watch Ruan Xi being taken away.
All of their anger suddenly poured out, and their fighting power instantly doubled, completely wiping out the remaining enemies.
Ruan Xi was eventually captured.
