Things happened too suddenly. Jiang Chuyi felt the grenade behind her about to explode, but she had no idea that the man in front of her would disregard his own safety and throw her to the ground in an instant, leaving her unable to even react.
The man's scent enveloped Jiang Chuyi completely, and the smell of gunpowder, dust, and blood filled her nostrils.
Jiang Chuyi widened her eyes, not knowing for a moment whether to scold this man for hugging her despite being so dirty, or to be angry that this man dared to hug her.
In this chaotic second, the man's low groan sounded in his ears.
The explosion just now was not small and was not far away from them. The man used his body to block the entire impact. He must have been injured.
Just as she was thinking this, Jiang Chuyi smelled a stronger smell of blood, the source of which was the man.
The man's breathing suddenly became heavy, but despite such a severe blow, he did not even cry out in pain.
On the contrary, he moved extremely quickly. Before the aftermath of the explosion occurred, his hot big hand grabbed Jiang Chuyi's waist, and in her disbelieving eyes, he threw her towards Wen Xi!
He was clearly wearing black gloves, but the scorching heat still reached Jiang Chuyi's body. She was naturally cool and almost shivered from the heat.
But it is undeniable that this kind of heat brings her much more comfort than other things.
The next second, the man jumped up with great agility. The look in the corner of his eyes reminded people of a cheetah standing firm in danger.
boom--
The moment the man dodged from his spot, a violent explosion sounded again, and the surging flames engulfed the original location.
The man walked out from the side of the fire, his temperament cold and calm.
"Wen Xi, can you still stand up?" He seemed to consciously block the two ladies in the house, standing at the door without leaving, raising his gun and shooting outside while asking.
The voice is clear, steady and very youthful.
Wen Xi was struggling to reach out and help Jiang Chuyi up. When he heard the voice, he was shocked and his eyes showed disbelief and surprise.
"Captain Congratulations!" she shouted hoarsely. The woman who had just looked hopeless seemed to suddenly see hope. "I'm fine. I can return to the team right away!"
Jiang Chuyi fell on the bed next to Wen Xi. Whether it was the man's speed that was so fast that she almost couldn't react, or the fact that she was thrown out just now, the shock overwhelmed her so much that she forgot that she was about to lose her temper just now.
"You..." Jiang Chuyi raised his head and fell silent.
Behind the man, his combat uniform was hanging on his back in tatters, and his bloody back could be easily seen.
He had just suffered this injury in order to protect her.
Just like Wen Xi was willing to take the initiative to attract zombies in order to keep Jiang Chuyi, this man also chose to protect her when he was unsure whether he could survive.
Jiang Chuyi's heart, which used to be indifferent to everything, suddenly seemed to be stabbed by something. It didn't last long, but it left a sharp feeling of discomfort.
The invisible giant hand that was originally planning to hit the man quietly withdrew, and she sat on the bed with a confused look on her face.
"Your current physical condition is very poor. You don't need to participate in the operation. Just protect you and..." The man quickly turned around and glanced at Jiang Chuyi, "That's all."
"Yes." Wen Xi responded without hesitation. She looked at the man's tall and straight back. This woman who had faced life and death several times couldn't help but burst into tears. "Great, it's Captain He, it's Captain He... We are saved, we are saved."
She scooped up some, as if she wanted to hug Jiang Chuyi and cry. Jiang Chuyi hadn't come out of the shadow she had just been thrown into, and she moved to the side quietly, leaving Wen Xi with nothing.
Captain He? Who is this person?
Jiang Chuyi stared at Captain He's back and recalled the entire plot in his mind.
The result was that she didn't find anyone with the surname He.
How is that possible? Jiang Chuyi frowned. This man was so powerful. Before the protagonist even awakened his innate ability, he already had such a fast talent for speed. Logically, he should have shined in the apocalypse. How could he not even leave his name?
"Huhuhu, the plot you gave me is not an incomplete version, right?" Jiang Chuyi asked with disgust.
"???" The system defended itself aggrievedly, "I'm an authentic system, I provide the complete and authentic storyline!"
Jiang Chuyi was too lazy to pay attention to this waste. After making sure that the plot was complete, she returned to guessing the identity of this man.
Unlike Long Pengfei, who has a name and surname in the original plot, a powerful character who has never been mentioned in the plot suddenly appears in the plot, and no one can guarantee what impact he will have in the future.
Jiang Chuyi's mind moved, and his invisible hand gently wrapped around the man's neck and slowly tightened.
Since he shouldn't have appeared in the plot in the first place, the safest way is...
At this critical moment, the man suddenly turned his head, and his clear and sharp eyes, like a cheetah hunting, immediately softened when he saw the faces of the two girls.
"Are you still able to move? Hurry, we need to get out of here as soon as possible." He spoke of the urgency of the matter, but there was no panic in his voice. "We have planted explosives, and this place is about to collapse."
"I can walk." Wen Xi said immediately. She looked at Jiang Chuyi, "Little sister, how are you? Do you need me to carry you?"
The invisible hand retracted instantly.
Jiang Chuyi glanced at Wen Xi silently, his eyes very obvious.
You can hardly even stand up, and you still want to carry her and escape?
She didn't reply, but stood up.
She felt sharp eyes scanning her whole body immediately.
Judging from her walking movements, it seemed that no vital parts were injured. The man relaxed his tightly pursed lips slightly, dodging sideways while stretching out his slender arms to protect Jiang Chuyi behind him.
"Be careful, follow me closely." He whispered, tossing a small, lightweight gun to Wen Xi. As if afraid that Jiang Chuyi might misunderstand, he looked at her seriously and explained, "These guns are for military use. If I give them to you rashly, you might hurt yourself."
Jiang Chuyi was stunned.
She doesn't need to rely on this piece of iron to easily break your necks.
She didn't say this out loud. Everything that had happened since then was beyond her expectations. Feeling half curious and half confused, she decided to go out with these people to see what else they would do.
As for her original plan to just overturn it, she had forgotten it completely.
After all, it seems that the man is doing this now, so why should she waste her energy?
Jiang Chuyi was sandwiched between the man and Wen Xi and was strictly protected.
The sound of gunfire had weakened a lot at this time, and it seemed that the battle had come to an end. Only from time to time could a dull roar be heard, confirming what the man had just said.
Every time a roar was heard, the entire tunnel would shake violently, with gravel and dust falling continuously and hitting people on the head.
If the man and Wen Xi paid close attention, they would have discovered that these gravels were blocked by an invisible membrane before they came into contact with Jiang Chuyi, and did not touch her at all.
But now both of them were extremely nervous. They only saw Jiang Chuyi following them and had no energy to pay attention to anything else.
After a fierce battle, most of the incandescent lights in the corridor had gone out, and the remaining lights were swaying and flickering, illuminating the not-so-spacious ground, which was full of piled corpses.
Their flesh and blood were splattered, their eyes wide open, expressing their hatred.
"Don't look." The man's calm voice came, "Close your eyes, we will lead you out soon."
Jiang Chuyi took a few seconds to realize that this sentence was directed at her.
Amidst the flickering lights, Jiang Chuyi lowered his head expressionlessly and stared for a moment at a corpse passing by his feet.
It was the man who brought her in before. Since not much time had passed, she still remembered his face.
"Captain He, how did you find your way here?" Wen Xi's tense voice echoed from behind as he groped forward. "I heard you were in a nearby city, but your mission should have been completed. I thought you'd already left for headquarters."
"I received news that there was a branch base of Shouli Tea House nearby. After this mission was over, I deliberately stayed here for a few days." The man's voice remained unchanged, showing no other emotions even in this situation. "As for why I came here, Wen Xi, you still remember that you have other companions, right?"
Other companions? Didn’t Su Heng and Zhou Chao already…
Jiang Chuyi was thinking absentmindedly when he suddenly heard a loud gasp behind him.
Wen Xi's voice suddenly rose: "Su Heng! Could it be, could it be that they..."
The man turned around and looked at them. Jiang Chuyi saw a hint of a smile in his cold eyes.
"Yes, they are still alive." He gave an affirmative answer.
Wen Xi almost cried with joy.
Jiang Chuyi also raised his eyebrows in surprise, but when he thought about the energy fluctuations he had vaguely sensed from Su Heng before, it was not surprising.
There are many ways to stimulate talents and special abilities, and being in a life-or-death crisis is the easiest way to unleash potential.
It’s just that the outcome of life and death is hard to say.
"This is their Area B, located between the 'cargo' storage and the living quarters, some distance from the entrance." After sharing this great news, the man regained his composure and shielded their progress. "We're going through Area D. Be careful there..."
Before he could finish his words, his aura suddenly changed.
Just like he risked his life to protect Jiang Chuyi not long ago, he was extremely agile. He turned around and hugged Jiang Chuyi with one hand, while grabbing Wen Xi's arm with the other hand. At the same time, he pushed hard, and the three of them immediately fell to the ground.
The next second, accompanied by a loud bang, the entire underground shook violently.
Again! Again!
Jiang Chuyi subconsciously placed her hand on the man's chest. As long as she exerted force, he would fly backwards like a kite with a broken string.
However, before she could take action, after a few crackling sounds, the remaining incandescent lamps went out.
The entire underground suddenly fell into darkness.
Something in the man's body vibrated. He reached out with difficulty and took it out, his voice deliberately lowered: "It's me."
"Boss, you guys haven't come out yet?" A lively voice suddenly came from the other side, but it seemed to be amplified by a loud speaker, as if shouting at another person from several kilometers away. "I thought at your speed, you should have come out long ago!"
The huge volume stunned Jiang Chuyi.
She looked up, and the man's eyes didn't move. His slightly raised chin and exposed neck outlined a heroic and smooth line.
He remained calm and stopped the other person from talking nonsense in time: "You guys are out already?"
"Yes, Boss, Su Heng is out too." The other side paused, "Are Wen Xi and the other little girl still here?"
Jiang Chuyi felt the man's slightly cold gaze sweep across her face.
"They are all here."
There were excited cheers from the other side.
"Listen, there was a collapse just now. We're roughly in Area D now," the man said calmly. "If we're not out in half an hour, detonate the remaining bombs."
Detonate the remaining bombs? Wouldn't he be killed here too?
Jiang Chuyi was just wondering when he heard someone on the other side gasp in surprise: "What, you're in Area D?"
Jiang Chuyi recalled that the man seemed to have specifically mentioned Area D just now, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the collapse.
"Captain He, what exactly is the D area you are talking about?" Wen Xi asked Jiang Chuyi's question.
"Get up first."
As the only "ordinary person", Jiang Chuyi seems to have received double care from both the man and Wen Xi.
Looking at the two hands stretched out in front of him at the same time, Jiang Chuyi paused and got up by himself.
She didn't know if she had seen it wrong, but she felt that the man looked at her with a look of surprise and appreciation.
"Area D of this sub-base is where they store their 'goods,'" the man replied. "No one can guarantee the safety of the items they sell."
"Boss, you guys need to leave quickly! The collapse just now might have released something." The carefree loudspeaker over there also became nervous, "We can't let those things out!"
His voice traveled far into the empty space, but more than just an echo came back.
The people inside and outside the satellite phone fell silent at the same time.
Jiang Chuyi looked into the depths of the deep, dark tunnel, where the howling sounds of mad beasts overlapped.
The author has something to say:
I’m joining V~ I don’t know how many little angels will see me, I’m so nervous.
