Chapter 92 Heavy Casualties
Song Xin and his friends who had originally wanted to seek shelter from Luo Yun immediately gave up the idea.
On the other side, Cheng Wenxiu was held in the air by Fang Yi from Team 1. They thought he was safe, but unexpectedly, there was an ant with wings that flew straight towards them.
This rash action was doomed to failure.
In a short period of time, more than half of the people were killed or injured, but Team Two was safe and sound, and even accepted the people from Team Four.
Everyone hid in the ice cave. Du Tao erected a light green film inside. The black ants lost their smell. Groups of black ants crawled across the thick ice, but left in confusion after failing to find their target.
More than two hundred people hid in the ice, holding their weapons tightly and ready to fight at any time.
But after ten minutes, no ants came.
Seeing that the ice had melted a little, Xiao Ren exhaled a breath of cold air, and the ice layer became a little thicker.
Everyone was wearing thin clothes and couldn't help shivering after staying inside for a long time.
"Xiao Du, if you can't hold on, just tell us. We have rested well and can go out to fight at any time." Liu Chuchun couldn't help but say as he looked at Du Tao, whose forehead was covered with sweat.
Du Tao smiled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "It's okay, I still have superpowers. My mother said that my duty is to save everyone, and I can definitely do it!"
The others listened to what this recognized fool said and lowered their heads in guilt. In the past, many people looked down on him, and he was also disliked by other hunting teams. No team was willing to accept him.
Including Jin Na, she also rejected his application to join the team for various reasons. She really couldn't entrust her back to a fool. Even if he succeeded 99 times on the battlefield, any mistake would be a huge and irreparable loss.
Now it seems that I was short-sighted, Jinna reflected silently in her heart.
Even ordinary people saw him as a joke, but now it was their turn to protect him, what a slap in the face, and it made everyone realize how terrible they were.
I don't know how long it took, but there seemed to be fewer black ants outside, and the rustling sound gradually disappeared. When the ice melted again, everyone decided to take the initiative to attack.
As soon as I came out, the light was dim. I didn't know when thick, dark clouds had gathered in the sky, covering it completely without leaving a single ray of sunlight.
The rolling clouds and occasional thunder reminded everyone that there would be a heavy rainstorm coming.
At this time, there were not many black ants left on the ground. When they saw people, they had no intention of attacking, but instead burrowed into the densely packed black holes on the ground.
At this time, people from other teams rushed over and were envious of the two teams that had almost no fewer people. They had lost several teammates and more than half of their troops, and only twenty or thirty people were left.
Several captains quickly exchanged information and decided to rush to Team One immediately.
Everyone ran all the way. The ground was bumpy and there were many black ant corpses, but no human bodies. Only the bloody smell that rushed to their heads proved that there had been a bloody battle here.
Every few dozen meters on the ground there is a half-meter wide tunnel, just enough to transport corpses.
Almost everyone understood where the bodies had gone, but now there was nothing they could do and they could only look for survivors first.
The vehicle was half scrapped, and everyone got in and drove quickly back along the road they were traveling on.
Not long after driving, we saw Song Xin being supported by Li Cang, with Li Simeng and several other teammates beside him.
There was not a single soldier left, almost all of them were wiped out.
Someone with empty seats on the bus invited a few people to get on. As soon as Song Xin got on the bus, she fainted. She had lost too much blood and her whole body was cold. It was already her limit to hold on until now.
Li Cang looked at the people around him with a sullen face: "Where is the person who can heal the supernatural power?"
The soldier was frightened by his face which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stammered: "The second...the second team is...in the first car."
Li Cang half stood up from the back seat and forcefully took the intercom from the co-pilot. After pressing the talk button, he said in a cold and rude voice: "Zhang Xiaobai, Song Xin is injured, let Du Tao come over to treat him!"
Zhang Xiaobai frowned. It was the time to save people, but he was still so bossy. He really wanted to reject him directly.
Du Tao didn't think too much and just knew that if someone was injured, he would go and rescue them.
Seeing that Du Tao was happy, Zhang Xiaobai stopped the car and let him go to the back.
Du Tao came to the vehicle where Li Cang was, and frowned as he looked at Song Xin's trouser legs which were almost completely soaked with blood.
He put his hand on her trouser leg, and a warm and peaceful light green light emanated from his hand and slowly merged into Song Xin's body.
A minute later, Du Tao withdrew his hand, indicating that it was okay.
Li Cang grabbed his sleeve as he was about to leave and asked, "You're fine so soon? Why isn't Song Xin awake yet?"
Du Tao didn't know how to explain it, he could only say that he had been cured. As for why Song Xin didn't wake up, he didn't quite understand.
Li Cang didn't believe him. He felt that Team Two and he had always been at odds. He suspected that Du Tao was just being perfunctory and refused to let him go no matter what.
The soldier in the car was among the group of people protected by the Second Team. Now seeing Li Cang bullying their savior, they dared not say anything and could only silently turn on the walkie-talkie and pass on Li Cang's words to everyone's ears.
Du Tao was almost crying in anxiety at the car door. He really saved Song Xin, and no amount of energy could help.
"Song Xin fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. Du Tao's special ability is to heal wounds, not to produce blood. She will be fine after a good sleep." Pu Zhi's cold voice on the intercom spread to all the vehicles.
Li Cang narrowed his eyes and looked threateningly at the soldier holding the walkie-talkie, scaring the soldier so much that he immediately lowered his head.
However, he took advantage of the situation to loosen his grip on Du Tao's hand, naturally and smoothly, as if the person who had been aggressive just now was someone else and not himself.
Du Tao, who was freed, happily returned to the team's vehicle.
Dozens of people were rescued along the way, and finally the deputy base commander and his men were found.
Fang Yi fell in a pool of blood, his face was pale and his body was shriveled as if all the blood in his body had been sucked out.
Ye Zhou had half of his arm broken and was soaked in sweat, but even so he still stubbornly held the gun and stayed by Cheng Wenxiu's side, never leaving him.
When he saw someone coming, he fainted in relief.
Li Cang saw Cheng Wenxiu rushing up first and said, "Godfather! Are you hurt? It's my fault that I was useless and couldn't protect you."
Cheng Wenxiu's face was not good at this time, but he still forced a sad smile to face everyone: "The child's father is fine, but I feel sorry for your teammates. In order to protect me... they were killed by flying black ants... Alas."
As he said this, he sighed heavily, supported himself on his knees with his hands, and stood up with difficulty, then bowed deeply to everyone.
At this moment, he did not look like he was in his early 40s, but rather like an old man in his 50s: "We all did not expect that this mission would cost such a huge price. The base will give the greatest compensation to all those who sacrificed their lives in this mission."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and shed two tears of regret.
Everyone present was moved by Deputy Base Commander Cheng's sincerity and their eyes were red.
Pu Zhi stood at the edge of the crowd with Xiao Ren, silently observing Fang Yi's body on the ground.
This death doesn't look like it was caused by black ants...
