Chapter 497: Fog. Waiting for the signal
On the way back, Gu Ye asked the person tied to the pillar. Lao Nian said that he was Qiang Ge's subordinate and the seventh person.
Gu Ye was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked him how many of Brother Qiang's men he had killed in total. Lao Nian said that there were 33 of them when they entered the mountain, and except for the 8 who were killed by wild beasts when they first entered the mountain, he killed them all by various means. If He Jingze's team didn't come, they would be killed in another half a year.
"One person per month on average?" This is what Gu Ye asked at the time. Lao Nian nodded. Killing too quickly would easily arouse suspicion.
Gu Ye gave him a thumbs up and asked him why he did this, after all, he was no longer a policeman.
Lao Nian said it was to avenge someone.
After saying this, he pretended to take a nap and no longer answered any questions.
After listening to Gu Ye's explanation, Wang Guan couldn't help but look at this inconspicuous old man twice. It is said that ruthless people will look very honest, even a little cowardly, and it turned out to be true.
Gu Ye washed his hands and re-examined Jia Shun's body. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no other external injuries except for the head.
After the examination, he saw Sun Hao and Wang Siyu applying iodine to various places, but they could only wipe what they saw in front of them.
"Well... I won't bandage the wounds for both of you." Gu Ye deliberately said to them, "You two can apply the medicine and bandage each other, and I will help Mr. He to treat the wound."
Wang Guan added: "The current situation is special. We should put aside any grudges and focus on getting out of the Yilian Mountains alive."
Wang Siyu and Sun Hao looked at each other and no one spoke.
"Siyu, Sun Hao, it's already this late, why are you two still angry?" He Jingze propped himself up and scolded, "You're both grown up, you should be more mature."
Sun Hao took the initiative to stand up and walked to Wang Siyu, "Let's go over there."
Wang Siyu didn't say anything, but still followed Sun Hao.
Gu Ye was very satisfied with the result. They were safe for the time being. If someone did something weird again, he would not tolerate it. He glanced at Wu Mengmeng inside again, his eyes were not friendly.
He Jingze said hurriedly, "Let her stay alone for a while. Wait until the girl inside helps the instructor bandage the wound, and then help her."
Gu Ye said nothing and went to see Zu Yang first. The most serious injury on his body was in his abdomen. The bleeding had stopped, but because of the long time, there was dead flesh around the wound.
Wang Guan just scraped off the dead flesh with gritted teeth, causing some of the wounds to be too large and requiring stitches. Fortunately, there was an automatic suture device in the medicine box, so it wasn't a big problem.
Gu Ye walked to He Jingze and motioned him to lie down. Most of these people had serious back injuries.
"Young man, what's your name?" He Jingze asked after lying down.
"My name is Gu Ye."
"Good boy, you don't look very big."
"Sixteen." Big Liu just came in with some clean water. When he heard Mr. He's question, he answered it directly for him.
Except for Wang Guan and Liu Da, everyone turned their eyes to Gu Ye. Before, they just thought that this man was very handsome and believed that good-looking people looked young, but they didn't expect that he was not even an adult yet.
Laonian just came in carrying a pot of porridge. When he heard the word "sixteen", he looked at Gu Ye in surprise.
He was not even an adult yet, yet he dared to go deep into enemy territory to rescue people. Moreover, he remained calm and collected in the face of armed enemies, and his skills were beyond ordinary people.
"Xiao Ye, you really impressed me." He Jingze sighed, "Chinese youth should be like this, only then will China have a future. Ouch... Xiao Ye, be gentle."
"Okay, okay." Gu Ye felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.
"I heard from Wang Guan that you had two more people. Where are they now?" He Jingze deliberately tried to find a topic to talk about in order to relieve the pain.
"I went to find Mouban."
"Are they adults? Ah, I mean are they your age too?"
"They are father and daughter, and the daughter is my high school classmate."
"Ah, that's just a little girl. Are they both okay?"
"Xiao An is better than me." Whenever Gu Ye mentioned Xiao An, he couldn't help but smile. "She is pretty and good at studying. She used to be the top scorer in the high school entrance examination. She is very smart and kind. She has been helping me survive in the apocalypse for the past two years. Once we are stable here, I will take you to find her."
Everyone saw Gu Ye's mysterious smile, some were speechless, some scratched their heads. But most didn't pay attention to what he said. A little girl, no matter how powerful she was, how powerful could she be? It was just a matter of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
He Lao was very curious about the little girl and asked Gu Ye to introduce her to him. He liked to meet outstanding young people and was not limited to academic performance. Of course, academic performance was the basic score, and he valued comprehensive ability more. A strong youth means a strong country. They are the future of the motherland. Looking at his two apprentices, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
"Everyone, let's eat something." Lao Nian brought in another pot of meat sauce and took out a few broken bowls from the cupboard. "I have cleaned all of these. They are very clean."
Wang Siyu and Sun Hao had just finished applying medicine to each other. Wang Siyu couldn't wait to walk to the dining table, and when he saw the meat sauce, he almost vomited.
After retching for a long time, he asked, "What kind of meat is this?"
Everyone knows why he asked this.
"Venison." Lao Nian knocked on the edge of the basin and said in a bad voice.
"Are…are you sure?"
"I can guarantee that it is venison." said Gu Ye.
He Jingze looked at Laonian with complicated eyes, sighed, and said nothing.
Lao Nian didn't care. He had already told Gu Ye and Da Liu where Wang Xinyu was. However, Wang Xinyu had injured his lumbar spine and it was difficult for him to move. Da Liu had confirmed this and was bandaging his minor wound outside.
As for the two not telling everyone about this, it was not because they didn't want to, but because Lao Nian didn't allow them to. He felt that a team should keep the information in the hands of key members and not tell everyone.
Here, with Gu Ye's assurance, Wang Siyu finally felt relieved. He picked up the spoon and weighed a large bowl of porridge, but he didn't eat it himself. He hurriedly brought it to He Jingze.
Gu Ye had already finished bandaging He Lao's wound. He stood up to wash his hands, then invited everyone to eat together. After filling their stomachs, they could get back to work. There was still a lot of work to do.
Time passed by minute by minute, and two hours later, it was almost dawn. Everyone had eaten and drunk enough, and all the wounded had been bandaged.
The instructor and Jia Shun were still in a coma. Zu Yang and Zhou Zhou were sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and sometimes they couldn't tell where they were. The others were in good condition.
Gu Ye analyzed the current situation. The ones who were still capable of fighting were himself, Wang Guan, and Da Liu. Lao Nian, Uncle Geng, and Sun Hao could only belong to the second echelon. Wang Siyu, He Jingze, Wu Mengmeng, and the two strange women could only take care of themselves. The ones who needed special care were the instructor, Jia Shun, Zu Yang, and Wang Xinyu. The four of them had no ability to move at all.
Oh, and there’s Hu Zi. He can barely walk, but his injury is on his butt, and he sweats profusely after taking a step.
Now there is only one car. Even with all the things in the back box taken out, there is only enough space for two people. One more person can lie in the back seat. If Hu Zi sits sideways on the passenger seat, what about the other person?
Oh, it looks like I need to make a stretcher.
He discussed with Wang Guan and Da Liu and decided to rest in the cave for three days first, firstly to let everyone recuperate and make it easier to travel later. Secondly, when Hu Zi's injury is better and he is not afraid of the bumps, he can squeeze in the back seat, and the vacated passenger seat can be laid flat, so Jia Shun can sit here, after all, he only hurt his head.
He also thought about sending a signal to Xiao An, but quickly rejected the idea. What if Xiao An didn't find Mou Ci and couldn't rush over to join them? What if there were other organizations in the mountains that alarmed them?
The safest way now is to conserve your energy and wait until Xiao An sends out the rendezvous signal before going to find her.
