Chapter 104 Gu Bingchen is a good man

The lame man staggered forward, and there was a dead silence all around. He could only hear his own footsteps, accompanied by heavy breathing. Each step hit the slippery ground heavily, and the echo swirled in the loneliness. Suddenly, a permeating chill climbed up along his spine. He turned his head instinctively and saw something moving quietly in the darkness.

His heartbeat accelerated instantly, and an indescribable fear strangled his throat. His throat was dry and painful as if it was burning. The air seemed to begin to solidify, and even breathing became particularly difficult.

Cold sweat dripped down his back, and the wound that had not yet stopped bleeding was stinging. In this endless darkness, the unknown fear was like an invisible net, wrapping him tightly. Every step seemed to be on the edge of life and death.

I just hope... I just hope that she can successfully escape the siege of the corpses.

......

"I beg you, the captain... the captain is still in there, he was seriously injured." The girl knelt down on her knees, her face covered with tears, her voice hoarse and unpleasant, "It was to save me that the captain... the captain was in danger."

"Don't cry first!" Fu Qingfei happened to be standing in front of the girl, and it looked like he was kneeling to her. He quickly stood up and wanted to pull the girl up, "Let's talk nicely, don't kneel!"

The girl was caught in a wave of guilt and panic. She spoke stumblingly and spoke only meaningless words. Her narration was pieced together, and one could barely tell that the captain she was talking about was in some danger.

Jiang Yunqi frowned: "It sounds like the thing following closely behind your captain should be a high-level zombie."

Gu Bingchen: "It is also possible to be a high-level mutated creature."

Chu Wanyue put her coat on the girl and asked for details: "Did you fight with this thing?"

The girl trembled, her lips were cracked and bleeding, her eyes were red, she nodded hesitantly, and then shook her head quickly.

The fat man was a little impatient: "Is it true or not? Can you explain it clearly? The longer you drag it out, the more dangerous Captain Li's situation will be!"

It's not that he said something unpleasant, but that the woman was too procrastinating. He had worked with Captain Li before, and he was a man who was efficient, decisive, and resolute. The only thing he was criticized for was that he was too nice. He would pick up anyone he met on the road, but fortunately, those people knew how to repay their kindness.

Now it seems that this girl named Xiao Shi should also be a newcomer picked up by Captain Li not long ago. She gets flustered when encountering something and can't even speak clearly.

The fat man secretly complained, kicking stones back and forth with one foot, and his patience gradually ran out.

Xiao Shi sniffed her nose and said with a tearful face, "I really don't know. That thing suddenly appeared like a ghost. The captain pushed me away and used his supernatural power to attack, diverting the attention of that thing. That's when I had the chance to run out."

Seeing that more than ten minutes had passed in the time it took to talk, Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen looked at each other, and the latter said lazily, "Then just go inside. Anyway, if you follow the white dots, you can always find that... Captain Li, right?"

Fu Qingfei nodded aside. That was right. With this tracker, they would definitely be able to find people quickly.

"Are you... going with us?"

Long Yilan suddenly looked back, and felt that the girl named Xiao Shi had a vague look in her eyes, as if she was a little nervous.

Xiao Shi's face was full of dirt, and she didn't show any obvious emotional changes. She only heard her voice trembling slightly, and she must be a little panicked: "I... I want to lead the way, of course... of course I have to follow you."

Gu Bingchen was obviously tired of this noisy darkness. Before the fire-type psychic could use the flame to illuminate the road ahead, he took out a flashlight from the space, and the dazzling white light suddenly lit up. Xiao Shi's pupils contracted and she immediately lowered her head.

The further you go in, the heavier the humidity and the more stuffy the air can be felt. Those who are weaker, such as Jie Diyu, are already a little short of oxygen, and their faces are pale and bloodless.

"Or... you guys should keep going..." The boy's voice was not very loud, but in this silent environment, the slightest movement would be amplified. He was wearing thick clothes, and even bending down to breathe was difficult.

Shangguan Xian dared not let him stay alone in this place full of unknown dangers. Not to mention whether Song Shinan and Jie Lanhui would cause trouble for her later, just because of her identity as an S-level healing psychic, she would never leave Jie Diyu.

She simply helped the boy sit down on a rounder and water-free stone, looked at Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen, and discussed, "I'm worried about him staying here alone, it's too unsafe, but it's definitely not possible for him to continue going down, unless he has a portable oxygen cylinder."

"How about I wait for you here with him?"

Gu Bingchen glanced at her, took out two oxygen cylinders from the space, took a step forward, stuffed the one in his left hand into Jie Diyu's hand, and put the one in his right hand directly into the boy's face, and said coldly, "Inhale."

Jie Diyu was stunned for a long time, and his brain, which was a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen, became much clearer. He blinked and looked at Gu Bingchen, as if he wanted to ask something, but his mouth and nose were covered by the covers of the oxygen cylinders.

"Stop talking, please."

After throwing two more oxygen bottles into Shangguan Xian's arms, Gu Bingchen walked back to Jiang Yunqi without looking back.

"I... I just don't want him to get into trouble here, lest that psychopath Song Shinan comes to fight me again."

Jiang Yunqi's lips curled up slightly, and a smile flashed across his dark eyes. He held one hand against his lips to hide the smile that could not be concealed, and said in a clear voice: "I know."

"Don't hide it, laugh if you want to laugh." Gu Bingchen said depressedly.

Jiang Yunqi pursed his lips and tilted his head slightly: "I'm not smiling."

Gu Bingchen kneaded Jiang Yunqi's face: "Little liar, I saw it all!"

The intimate interaction between the two was seen by the people behind. Fu Qingfei was a little surprised and asked Long Yilan in a low voice: "Are the two bosses a couple?"

Long Yilan held a dogtail grass that she had pulled out from who knows when in her mouth, and spoke a little vaguely: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Fu Qingfei scratched her head: "No... It's okay, I just asked."

It's just that those people in the base who admire him will be heartbroken.

Xie Diyu looked at Gu Bingchen's back, and a grateful smile appeared on his still pale face.

He is a good man.

Just like Song Shinan said, he has always been a good man.

Song Shinan, who was being taught a lesson by Jie Lanhui at the base, sneezed twice.

Strange, who was talking about him?

"Doctor Jie, Captain Shangguan, would you like to put the oxygen cylinder in my space?" The woman with a bun suddenly stepped forward and her eyes fell on the oxygen cylinder. "It seems to be a bit troublesome to hold it in your hand."

Jie Diyu handed the oxygen cylinder in his other hand to the woman without thinking, his eyes were clear and bright, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "Thank you, Sister Jing."

"You're welcome, it's my duty." The woman who was called Sister Jing looked at Shangguan Xian again.

"Oh, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable due to lack of oxygen. I'll use one bottle, Doctor Jie shouldn't mind." Shangguan Xian frowned, holding the hand holding the oxygen cylinder to her chest, as if she really felt a little uncomfortable.

"Um, Captain Shangguan, you are covering your neck..." Jie Diyu pointed to the place where Shangguan Xian was covering.

Shangguan Xian was not embarrassed at all about being exposed. She just acted so well. She pouted and seemed to be very reluctant to hand it to Ajing. Then she patted her chest in a very artificial way: "It's better to be safe than sorry. My body is very weak. Can't I take a bottle in my hand for emergency?"

Jie Diyu said helplessly: "Of course."

After that, he looked at Ajing apologetically: "There is one bottle left, leave it to Captain Shangguan. I'm sorry to let you down."

Ajing smiled gently and said that it was okay.

Shangguan Xian muttered "I'm going to die" while dragging Jie Diyu forward, until she squeezed the fat man and Fu Qingfei away and came behind Gu Bingchen, then she let go of Jie Diyu's wrist.

"Brother, I have a piece of advice for you. When you look at people, you must wipe your eyes clean."

She said it casually, as if it was just a casual remark.

Jie Diyu was too well protected and had no bad intentions. But she was different. She had so many intentions that people with claustrophobia would get goose bumps when they saw her.

The hatred hidden in the eyes of the woman named Ajing was as thick as ink and it was shocking.

...

Li Zhe dragged his broken leg, touched the wall of the cave, and crawled forward with difficulty.

Soon, soon...soon he would be free.

It's just...it's a pity that he won't be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner this year.

The monster behind him was lingering around like a dog-skin plaster, enjoying the fun of the chase like a cat catching a mouse. Its slippery and sticky tentacles slowly moved forward and rolled up Li Zhe's unconscious leg...

Feeling the tingling touch against his skin, Li Zhe gritted his teeth, and a cold murderous intent flashed across his bloodshot eyes.

He'll die! I'll also give him a back cushion!

His brain was enduring the stinging pain like needles. Li Zhe used the only remaining power to attack behind him without any effort. The thorny vines were entangled on the monster's body. He pulled hard, and his body was hit hard. His chest felt stuffy and painful, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Zhe held the vine tightly, and would not let go, even though his body was now rolling down the cliff.

The hurricane was wrapped in a cold and damp breath. He knew that there was a bottomless abyss below. He closed his eyes, rolled over, and fell straight down like a bird without wings.

"Please, it's painful to die in pieces."

Was it a hallucination before death?

He seemed to hear someone calling his name.
