Chapter 172 Different Thoughts
"Damn it, I was so scared! I almost got eaten by a bunch of rats!"
After everyone cleared away the few remaining rats on the roof, a member of the Vulture team sat down on the ground, breathing heavily and muttering with lingering fear.
But escaping does not mean that the crisis is completely resolved.
"Xiu Xiu! Xiu Xiu, wake up, don't scare me..."
"Captain! Brother Liang and Xiao He are badly injured and the bleeding can't be stopped. Lao Jin has also fainted... His arms are all bitten off. What should we do?"
"team leader……"
The panicked shouts and sorrowful cries continued to rise and fall in the convoy.
Except for the pendulum, almost every team suffered casualties.
"It looks like we're going to lose some search and rescue personnel again." Qiao Yu sighed helplessly as he looked at the chaos outside the car.
Cheng Sinian clenched his fists, frowning slightly, "Do we still have to wait for them to recover?"
How long would they have to wait? They could afford to wait, but Professor Kang couldn’t!
"Of course we can't wait!" Qiao Yu immediately replied, "Don't worry, I'll go and ask how many people are still injured. No matter what, we have to go up the mountain today."
"good."
After parking the car, Yu Qingchuan went to the mercenary team early to count the casualties.
Qiao Yu waited until the noise had died down before he took Jiang Zhan to find the captains of each team.
Qiao Yu first went to find Baili Zhuo and Xiang Heng, and found that the situation was much better than she had imagined. Although some people were seriously injured, no one died.
It seems that the top three teams in the rankings are indeed well-deserved.
"Captain Qiao, thank you so much for what you did just now."
After some greetings, Baili Zhuo spoke to Qiao Yu seriously.
Xiang Heng, who was standing by, nodded towards Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan upon hearing this, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome." Qiao Yu waved his hand. "Since we're acting together, it's only natural for us to help each other. But the mission is urgent, captains, and I'm afraid we don't have much time to rest. We plan to go up the mountain soon, so you two should prepare in advance."
Xiang Heng nodded. "No problem. The casualties on my side are not great. Apart from three people who have lost too much blood and need to stay, the rest of us can leave at any time."
"I don't have much of a problem here." Baili Zhuo nodded. "But we have fewer people, so the search and rescue speed will definitely be much slower. Captain Qiao, do you still have signal fireworks? I plan to send out a few more teams."
Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "Increase the number of search and rescue teams, but reduce the area of responsibility of each team?"
"That's right."
Talking to smart people is simple. Baili Zhuo nodded, and felt a little more admiration for Qiao Yu in his heart.
"What does Captain Xiang mean?"
"I'm OK with that, too." Xiang Heng raised his chin. "Now it's not just a matter of reducing the number of people, but also the issue of expanding the search and rescue area. Zhongfeng is the largest peak in Mingxia Mountain. If we still follow the previous method of dividing the teams, the area each team will be responsible for will be too large. It would be better to send out several more teams to improve the accuracy of the search and rescue."
"Okay." Qiao Yu nodded. "I do have some signal fireworks here. In that case, let's divide into several teams. But you two must be careful. If you do this, the danger for each team will be greatly increased. So you must tell the team members that once you find the mission target, do not act rashly and be sure to send a signal flare to notify other teams immediately!"
"good."
After Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan left, Xiang Heng did not rush back to the team. Instead, he turned his head and stared thoughtfully at the clean and intact RV in the distance.
Just now when they were overtaking in the tunnel with the pendulum, Xiang Heng took a quick look.
——There were no rats on the roof of their car, nor on the body of the car.
Although the rats were surrounding the RV, very close to it and looked like they had climbed onto it, he was sure that they were not sticking to it at all.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier that kept them out.
Now that he had a clear view of the RV, Xiang Heng was even more certain that he had not seen it wrong.
But...why?
Because of that fire-breathing black wolf?
No, that's not right.
The wolf was indeed very strong, but there were so many rats that fire alone was not enough to separate them from the car in such a short time.
But if not... then what method was it? Whose method was it?
…
After Qiao Yu finished discussing with Baili Zhuo and Xiang Heng, he went to find Ding Baian without stopping.
As for Shengshi Dynasty, she really didn't want to go there, so she asked Baili Zhuo to go and communicate.
Ding Baian's injuries were not serious, most of them were just scratches and minor injuries. Only one team member's shoulder was bitten through by a mutant rat, but fortunately it was bandaged in time and it was not serious.
Qiao Yu informed Ding Baian and the others of the results of the discussion. Ding Baian had no objection at all. "No problem, Boss Qiao! We can accept it."
"You saved our lives again today. We really don't know how to repay you..."
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Helping me find Professor Kang is the best reward!"
Ding Baian nodded with a firm look, "Don't worry, Boss Qiao, we will do our best!"
When Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan returned, Yu Qingchuan just happened to come out of the mercenary team.
"How is it? Did the mercenary team suffer many casualties?" Qiao Yu asked loudly.
Yu Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, his expression slightly relaxed. "Fortunately, four died, five were seriously injured, and the others only had minor injuries. They're not seriously affected."
Qiao Yu nodded, it seemed that the loss was not big this time.
I just don’t know what’s going on in Shengshi Dynasty.
Without Huayue's strong protection, the situation may not be very optimistic.
Qiao Yu was right. The Shengshi Dynasty team suffered the heaviest casualties besides the mercenary team.
——Two people died and two were seriously injured.
With the addition of Hua Yue who left the team, Shengshi Dynasty lost more than half of its combat power.
Gao Yang covered his injured left arm and pursed his lips with a gloomy expression.
Without Huayue, they really felt powerless.
Gao Yang raised his head and looked at the figure leaning against Heilang on the roof of the RV, and secretly made up his mind: No, he must find a way to bring Huayue back.
Tang Ran was also looking at the RV with a puzzled expression, wondering what she was thinking. Her teammates had to call out to her several times before she regained consciousness.
"Ranran, what are you thinking about? The captain is in the car, calling us over. It seems that he wants to regroup. Let's go."
"Oh, okay."
Tang Ran nodded, took one last look at Qiao Yu's profile reflected in the car window, then turned around and returned to the car that had been eaten beyond recognition by the mutant rats.
