12 injured
◎Narcissism is unacceptable, and heartbreak is even more harmful to your health◎
The scene of seeing Kong Wei being knocked away by the combat machine she manually controlled was still vivid in Yan Xunzhi's mind. The moment Yan Xunzhi realized that her chain was broken, she disconnected without hesitation and fell out of the exoskeleton.
She wanted to push herself up against the ground and roll out of danger like the student who was offline before, but her hands and feet were weak and she fell directly to the ground.
It was too late for her to get up again. The strange tiger pounced on the empty exoskeleton and pressed her legs hard with the back of its claw pads!
"ah!"
Yan Xunzhi could almost hear the sound of her leg bones breaking and shattering. The broken bones pierced into her flesh, and she twitched in pain.
It turns out Kong Wei wouldn't save her... Yan Xunzhi couldn't tell what she felt, but she wasn't too surprised. There really wasn't anything special about her.
Maybe what Kong Wei said was true. She was the first student she met at Canxing White Tower. She was very memorable, so she was a little different occasionally.
Yan Xunzhi was injured, but the time she bought was precious. The remaining students had completely calmed down from their initial panic, adjusted their formation, dispersed, and completed reloading.
Bang!
The flash bomb and stun smoke exploded in front of the strange tiger at the same time. It didn't know whether it was blinded by the sudden brightness of the flash bomb or confused by inhaling the stun smoke, but it stopped for a few seconds.
During this gap, other students rushed forward quickly, some pulled the net to block, some wielded machetes to chop at the joints, and some wielded spears to poke at the vulnerable parts of the eyes and buttocks.
The strange tiger was in unspeakable pain, its body was violent, and it roared and rushed forward, trying to throw them off.
The wind and sand were already strong on the ground, and the students who were using the force of the climbers to hold onto the tiger's fur and exoskeleton had to rely on climbing devices inserted into the tiger's skin and flesh to keep from being blown away. Now that it moved again, the difficulty increased greatly, and within seconds, four or five students rolled over.
Yan Xunzhi's desire to survive was above all else and so strong that he could crawl quickly even with his injured leg, not caring at all about how painful his crushed leg was. He stumbled all the way in the opposite direction of the strange tiger.
After climbing to a relatively safe place, I was finally able to take a breath.
She turned around to look at the strange tiger. Its belly was ripped open and its intestines were all over the ground, dragging out long strips. However, its power was not reduced at all. It pounced and bit everywhere, as if it would kill them even if it had to leave its internal organs all over the ground.
So hard to kill?
Yan Xunzhi looked at the intestines scattered on the ground and was silent.
Then she saw the strange tiger lost its direction and turned around as if to rush towards her again. Yan Xunzhi didn't care about the embarrassment and immediately grabbed her injured leg and dragged it to run.
But suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking air was heard.
A straight blue line was drawn across the sky, as if someone had quickly drawn it with chalk.
Yan Xunzhi looked up. Kong Wei was standing four or five meters away from her. Her hands were already behind her back, and she expertly tucked her gun back into her weapon belt without even checking where it was. She was wearing a helmet and was so far away that she couldn't see the expression on her face.
The strange tiger was hit in the head by the mental bullet. It fell to the ground, rolled on the ground and roared, as if it was in great pain.
After a moment the sound faded, leaving only a few slight twitches, and then there was no movement anymore.
The students who had fallen to the ground also got up, gathered in groups of three or four, and began to divide the machine clumsily according to the method they had learned. The channel was full of chattering discussions.
Some students outside the circle went to take care of the injured, set up a simple sand-proof shed and provide first aid, while others came forward to help.
One of the students squatted down as he passed her. "Yan Xunzhi?"
Yan Xunzhi hummed, and the other party stretched out his hand, pretending to pull her, "My name is Cheng Lu. Come up, I'll carry you over."
The crisis was over, and Yan Xunzhi immediately felt a piercing pain. He could no longer move, so he obediently grabbed Cheng Lu's shoulders and asked her to carry him on her back.
Cheng Lu had an exoskeleton, so it was easy for him to carry her. As they walked, he said, "I originally thought you would be a drag if you came up here. I was ready. If you were with me, I would definitely go up to protect you. I didn't expect you to be so brave."
Yan Xunzhi's left leg had been crushed, and without the support of bones, it hung limply. But the latex suit was extremely tight, squeezing her leg into a ball. The pain made her sweat and she gritted her teeth and groaned.
Cheng Lu held her with one hand and reached into his pocket with the other.
After a long while, he pulled out a glass bottle the size of a finger joint and pressed it into her hand. "Here, take this and put it in the injection compartment."
There was no writing on the bottle. Even if the person was from the same batch as her, Yan Xunzhi still didn't dare to inject it directly. "...What is this?"
"Painkillers," Cheng Lu said. "I heard from an instructor on the ground that injuries are common on the ground, and they all keep a lot of painkillers. I quickly bought a few bottles before setting off this time."
It was difficult to take off the latex suit due to her injuries, let alone put it on after taking it off.
The trainees were only assigned a temporary division of labor and were not professionals, so they could not handle such a complex problem.
Her exoskeleton had broken down again, so she had to wear a surface suit to at least avoid dying above ground. Once she was back underground, she could be taken to the infirmary. Whether to undergo surgery or conservative treatment would be decided by those with experience.
Yan Xunzhi hesitated for a moment, but her calf was so painful that she decided not to let Cheng Lu down and clicked the glass bottle into the injection compartment.
Just as I was about to give the injection, I suddenly felt a sinking sensation on my shoulder.
Kong Wei came up behind her without her knowing. Cheng Lu saw her and politely called out, "Instructor Kong."
Kong Wei took out a green glass bottle from his pocket and said, "Take this. It's a repair and growth solution. It's better than just painkillers. Your injuries are too severe. Painkillers won't stop the pain."
It's because of you that I got this illusion... otherwise who would take this risk! Yan Xunzhi was a little unhappy.
But her so-called repair and growth liquid seemed to be much more advanced than Cheng Lu's painkiller... She didn't have the habit of mistreating herself. Besides, whether it was exploiting rich instructors or poor students who were suffering like her, Yan Xunzhi still had some sense.
She accepted the high-end product politely, thanked Kong Wei, injected it into her body, and soon felt a cool sensation.
The leg injury was almost covered by the cold coolness, and the pain was not obvious for a while.
It really works! Yan Xunzhi couldn't help but glance at Kong Wei again, and the anger that had just built up in his heart disappeared without a trace.
Kong Wei didn't give it to anyone else and was only willing to give her such a good medicine. At least she treated her differently... although she was indeed seriously injured in it.
She is too narcissistic and tries to show off.
It’s Kong Wei’s fault that he was wronged.
After escaping the excruciating pain and taking a break, she felt much more refreshed. Her excitement was rekindled after she had returned to the surface for the first time and even played a significant role in the siege of the mutants.
"Would you like to go and take a look at the foreign object?"
Cheng Lu had already had this intention, but because Yan Xunzhi was injured, he didn't join the crowd. Now that she took the initiative to bring it up, he immediately agreed, "Go! Watch your legs."
Cheng Lu carried her to the side. The students were also very considerate. Seeing Yan Xunzhi coming over injured, they automatically made way for her to avoid touching her injured leg.
This made Yan Xunzhi feel quite embarrassed. She just got carried away...
They walked over to the strange tiger. Its fur was long and rough. Yan Xunzhi was a little curious, so he stretched his head and stretched out his arms to pull the hair off its eyelids.
The cloudy eyeballs were immediately revealed.
It wasn't a common pupil, nor was it the gray, murky kind of blindness. It was as if the eyeball had been a pool of paint, and someone had suddenly stirred it with a stick, leaving a blur of yellow, green, and black lines, a blur of tangles.
It's a bit... indescribably weird.
Yan Xunzhi stared at the eye for a while and then lost his focus unconsciously.
It was not until a student climbed up and shaved the hair around his eyelids with a knife that he came to his senses. He took a quick look and saw that half of his eyelids had been shaved clean.
The hair of this mutant animal has been specially processed, making some parts of it quite tough and more elastic than the nylon ropes commonly used on the ground before the disaster. Because it is easy to use and there is a lot of ground, it has been put into production and life on a large scale.
After shaving the hair, they began to skin it. When the skin was gone, they shaved the meat off and packed the bones away. The tiger was unloaded into pieces, its skull pried open, crushed, and canned.
Kong Wei took a small jar and gouged out the yellow and black eye and put it in it.
In the end, only a pool of blood and flesh was left on the ground and no one wanted it.
If this happened on the real ground - outside the military zone, other mutant creatures would come and eat them by smelling the scent, and they would not clean them up, which can also be considered a kind of ground ecology.
But this is the area of the Canxing White Tower. The smell of blood will attract more mutant creatures. At that time, the workload of the outer military district responsible for this area may increase dramatically. If there are too many intruders, it will also be a threat to Canxing.
Kong Wei asked the students to dig a hole and bury the remaining flesh and blood in it. He also took out the spray and sprayed it on the ground a few times.
The smell of blood suddenly subsided, and the yellow sand quickly covered the bloodstains underground, as if no battle had ever taken place here.
They were already some distance away from the ground tower they came from. Kong Wei contacted the nearest Canxing ground tower and asked the students to rest for a while before packing up and setting off.
His legs weren't hurting too much, but walking was still a struggle. Yan Xunzhi simply stayed attached to Cheng Lu and didn't move.
Anyway, Cheng Lu has an exoskeleton, so carrying her is no big deal...
As Yan Xunzhi lay there, he remembered the exoskeleton that had been crushed by the strange tiger. Seeing that the channel was still in a private communication with Kong Wei, he couldn't help but whisper, "Instructor Kong..."
Kong Wei was leading the way. Seeing that only the injured students were being helped, he quickly replied, "What?"
“Is my exoskeleton expensive?”
"..." The other party was silent for a while, "Three repair growth liquids."
“…”
This time it was Yan Xunzhi's turn to remain silent. Why did she like to pry so much when there was nothing wrong?
The red light of the ground tower finally penetrated the yellow sand and flickered faintly. The students looked at the ground tower that was so close to them. Some of them who couldn't wait to go back had already charged their exoskeletons and ran over at full speed.
But once everyone gathered in front of the door, scanned the spiritual power in the name tags and compared them with their own identities, and verified their identities, the door of the ground tower slowly opened.
This time everyone knew to fast forward and rushed in.
Those who are not injured or have minor injuries and their exoskeletons are still there can climb the stairs and go downstairs, while those who are seriously injured and have difficulty moving can take the hand-cranked elevator.
Cheng Lu put her down, hung the ladder safety rope, and waved at her, "Then I'm leaving."
Yan Xunzhi made an OK gesture, waved his hand with a smile, and watched Cheng Lu go down.
Then he realized he was still some distance from the elevator, and it was too late to call Cheng Lu. His mind raced for a moment, and he realized all the students around him had gone down, leaving only a bunch of patients who were struggling to move. He couldn't help but sigh.
It's okay to be embarrassed on the ground, but coming back... I have to continue to be embarrassed...
He lay down resignedly, dragging his injured leg, like a lame reptile, inching towards the elevator...
