"What are you laughing at?" Qi Guang immediately went over to gossip as soon as Ji Muhan left.
"Get out of here," Shen Shaolin said with a laugh.
The next morning, Ji Muhan organized her team members and the younger biologist to cut bamboo and make bamboo rafts.
"Are we going to cross the river?" Mo Xiaoqing asked, seeing that Ji Muhan was busy, and unusually, she didn't go up to him or stick to him.
"Hmm." Shen Shaolin turned around and wasn't surprised to see her. He crossed his arms and casually looked in the direction of Ji Muhan and the others before answering, "We need to find a populated area first before we can contact the outside world and get the military helicopters to pick us up."
They were still in enemy territory, and even if they wanted to land a helicopter, the risks were too great. It was better to stay away. After all, it wasn't just their own team members; there were also several biologists who couldn't lift heavy objects, and they had to consider their needs.
"Oh." Mo Xiaoqing nodded, then, a rare look of worry crossed her face, and she asked him, "If you're leaving by helicopter, does that mean I can't come with you?"
Shen Shaolin was taken aback. He hadn't really thought about this question. According to Mo Xiaoqing's description, she was brought here by kidnappers and even escaped alone.
Logically speaking, since she was neither part of their mission nor a member of the military, there was indeed no need for her to go back with them.
and--
"Didn't you say you came here for tourism?" Shen Shaolin smiled meaningfully.
"How could I dare? You've all left. If I were still wandering around here alone, who knows if something like what happened before would happen again. I was lucky this time that I happened to run into you on a mission. Otherwise, I would definitely be dead by now." Mo Xiaoqing felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.
“Actually, it’s not impossible for you to come back with us.” Shen Shaolin’s eyes narrowed slightly as a flash of inspiration struck him.
"You have a way?" Mo Xiaoqing blinked, a subconscious action that almost melted Shen Shaolin's heart.
"Come here," Shen Shaolin beckoned to her with his finger, speaking mysteriously.
Mo Xiaoqing moved closer without hesitation.
"Just tell them you're Ji Muhan's family member, and I guarantee no one will dare stop you from boarding the plane," Shen Shaolin advised her.
Mo Xiaoqing blinked with a bright smile, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She immediately looked at Ji Muhan, who was building a bamboo raft. He stood out tall and straight among the group of people. Even with many people around, he was still so eye-catching that everyone could notice him at a glance.
The sunlight shone on his face, bathing it in a golden glow that left people mesmerized.
Her mind was in turmoil, filled with countless thoughts.
Family members?
This idea seems pretty good!
...
Gao Xiaoxiao and Wen Xin finally felt like they were on a trip. They had originally planned to attend a lecture and spend a couple of days sightseeing, but who knew they would encounter such a situation.
Standing on the wide, winding Amazon River, this was exactly the kind of travel they wanted. The trees on the banks were lush and green, stretching as far as the eye could see. Just as they were admiring the scenery, Ji Muhan suddenly grabbed Mo Xiaoqing's arm and pulled her behind him in a protective posture. "Jinhua Mengzi, get ready!"
Mengzi and Jinhua immediately picked up their rifles.
Here it comes again. They knew that the first two times had been close calls, but this time, the danger was real.
Just as they reached the confluence of a tributary of the river, four speedboats suddenly sprang out from behind the dense trees on that tributary.
The deafening roar of the speedboats as they glided down the tributary was too fast for anyone to react to. Four speedboats surrounded their three bamboo rafts, circling them at breakneck speed. Shen Shaolin and his men had already fired their guns, but the speed was too great, and they missed several times, shooting the bullets directly into the water.
Ji Muhan stood calmly, her left hand encircling Mo Xiaoqing's head, covering her ears and pressing her against her shoulder, while her right hand gripped the silver pistol, aiming it in one direction, waiting for the right moment like a hunting leopard.
Just as they were circling him for the fourth time, a shot rang out decisively, and a man fell into the water, his motorboat also going out of control and rushing into the jungle.
Immediately afterwards, three more shots rang out, and the people on the other three speedboats all fell into the river. The speedboats went out of control one after another and plunged into the rainforest, where they were then hidden by the dense trees.
Those four men would never believe that, at that speed, they could be targeted and shot dead.
Those who had never experienced anything like this before were already terrified and their legs went weak. Gao Xiaoxiao covered her ears and was about to scream in fright. Wen Xin was also pale with fright and bit her lower lip tightly to hold back her scream. The other three people were not much better off.
Mo Xiaoqing buried her head on Ji Muhan's shoulder, not daring to lift it for a long time.
The ship rocked violently, and Mo Xiaoqing was thrown out.
Fortunately, Ji Muhan reacted quickly and pulled Mo Xiaoqing back into her arms, but this also meant that she exposed her back to the enemy for the first time.
He let out a muffled groan and whispered in her ear, his voice sounding hoarse and off, "Lie down and don't move."
"Ji Muhan!" Mo Xiaoqing exclaimed.
Seeing Ji Muhan get shot, and his back stained red, even though he was wearing black clothes, she couldn't ignore the large, quickly soaked area.
Mo Xiaoqing was breathing rapidly, but could only pace around anxiously, without any solution.
There was no other way; they didn't have any extra guns, and if they ran around under gunfire, they'd be sitting ducks.
Mo Xiaoqing watched his retreating figure, her eyes reddening, but she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent the tears from falling.
She couldn't help them, nor could she cause them any trouble.
But she couldn't simply ignore it...
"Get down." Ji Muhan shielded Mo Xiaoqing's head in her arms, successfully dodging the bullets. Then she drew a gun from her waist, aimed at the nearest armed man, and took him down with a single shot.
"Ji Muhan, your wound is still bleeding." Mo Xiaoqing's breath caught in her throat as she looked at the bright red color filling her vision and the blood that was gushing out uncontrollably. Her voice trembled slightly.
"Ji Muhan, why did you save me?" Mo Xiaoqing's voice trembled slightly, seemingly carrying a hint of disbelief.
He clearly...
Didn't I clearly find her annoying? Didn't I always push her away?
Why did you shield her in your arms without hesitation when the bullets were coming?
"It's a bit noisy."
If you've saved someone, you've saved them. Why ask so many questions?
Ji Muhan's breathing was somewhat disordered, and her voice sounded weaker than usual.
The little girl's voice kept nagging in his ears, giving him a headache.
