Chapter 43



The prison guard office building opposite was hidden in darkness. Lu Rankong stared at it closely, his eyes scanning the open windows.

When he saw a window on the sixth floor, the reflection of the glass was shaking slightly in the moonlight, obviously someone had just left there.

"Officer Liu has been shot." Lan Yu rushed to Liu Zhao, lifted up his upper body, and subconsciously used her hand to plug the bullet hole that was bleeding, without noticing that her voice was trembling.

Although he has starred in countless gun battle movies and held up the bodies of countless actors who were shot, he still felt panicked and confused when faced with real scenes.

Lu Rankong turned around, pulled out his service gun from behind Officer Liu, and ran out while saying, "The wound is two inches below the heart, it's not serious."

When he opened the door and rushed out, he turned off the lights in the room.

The lights were turned off, so even if there were people on the other side, they couldn't see the situation here clearly. Lan Yu used the moonlight from the window to see that Liu Zhao's eyes were closed and his face was pale. She turned around, put his hands on her shoulders, and carried him on her back.

After walking out of the door, he went straight to the elevator entrance. While waiting for the elevator, he saw Liu Zhao wearing a terminal on his hand hanging from his shoulder, so he freed one hand to open it.

After opening the terminal, he didn't know who to call. There were not many numbers saved on it, and the notes were simple "Chen", "Jin" and so on. He had to choose the most recent one in the call log. Seeing that the note was "Wang", he pressed it directly.

The call was connected when the ringing sounded, but it was hung up after only two rings. A few seconds later, a gunshot was heard nearby.

Lan Yu didn't know whether it was the murderer or Lu Rankong who was shooting. She was extremely anxious, but she could only dial the next number in order.

"Hello, Lao Liu." A loud greeting came from the other end of the terminal, accompanied by loud background music and a female voice.

The other party should be a prison guard, who is now watching the prisoners in the warehouse while they watch a movie.

"Officer Liu has been shot. Please notify the medical officer for me. I'm carrying him to the medical room now." The elevator had arrived. Lan Yu stepped into the elevator and spoke to the terminal while pressing the buttons.

"What?" The person on the other end didn't hear clearly and asked loudly.

Lan Yu repeatedly shouted into the terminal: "Officer Liu has been shot! He has been shot! Tell the medical officer to wait on the road."

The person on the other end finally heard clearly and asked in panic, "Who are you? You are not Lao Liu. How did Lao Liu get shot? It's serious—"

"Don't say a word and notify the medical officer immediately." Lan Yu shouted sternly, her tone was an unquestionable command.

The other side was startled, and replied subconsciously: "Yes, sir..."

The elevator hummed downwards. Lan Yu, carrying Liu Zhao on her back, felt sweat dripping from her forehead. She looked down at her feet and saw drops of blood falling.

"Liu Zhao, you have to stay calm and think about your emotions. He definitely doesn't want you to die like this. You have to fight for your reputation." Lan Yu said in a hoarse voice.

"You haven't avenged him yet, and you haven't captured the Longte starman yet. If you die in the same way as Xu, will you be worthy of him? You have to hold on..."

With a ding, the elevator reached the ground floor, and Lan Yu hurried out of the elevator carrying Liu Zhao on her back.

The dormitory door was still closed, and Lu Rankong had obviously gone out again. He lifted Liu Zhao up, opened the door and trotted towards the medical room.

From here to the medical room, you have to pass through a large playground and several houses. Liu Zhao was not tall, but a little fat and heavy. Lan Yu gritted her teeth and moved her legs forward to prevent herself from slowing down.

He didn't meet anyone along the way. Everyone was watching a movie in the warehouse. He couldn't even find a helper. Sweat slid down his forehead and stung his eyes.

Fortunately, although Liu Zhao's breathing was shallow, it did not disappear, so he should be able to hold out for a while.

As soon as I ran across the playground and entered the corridor in front of a row of houses, two people in white coats came running towards me. They were the prison medical officer and assistant.

The medical officer was walking in front with a medicine box on his shoulder, and his assistant was following closely behind pushing a stretcher.

They rushed to Lan Yu and said anxiously, "Hurry, hurry, go back to the medical room."

"Give first aid right here." Lan Yu put Liu Zhao on the stretcher and ordered, "Hurry up..."

The medical officer was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said, "That's right, let's buy time and rescue on the spot." As he spoke, he put down the medical box he was carrying.

Lan Yu tore open Liu Zhao's uniform, revealing the bullet hole that was still oozing blood. The medical officer took out a small treatment device, put it on, and pressed the start button.

The therapeutic device spewed out a stream of white gas and emitted a slight buzzing sound, and the wound on Liu Zhao's chest slowly stopped bleeding.

"Is he okay?" Lan Yu looked at Liu Zhao, whose face was as pale as paper and still a little out of breath.

The medical officer continued to put an oxygen mask on him and said, "His heart and major blood vessels were not injured, and the first aid was timely. He should be fine. I will take him back to the medical center for surgery now."

Lu Rankong rushed out of Liu Zhao's door, jumped over the stair railing, landed steadily on the sixth floor, then jumped from the sixth floor railing to the fifth floor. He soon reached the ground floor, climbed over the courtyard wall, and headed straight for the office building behind.

He was as fast as a cheetah and the whole process took less than a minute.

After entering the glass door of the lobby, he held the gun in both hands, leaned against the wall next to the elevator and aimed at the stairs above.

The moment he ran out of the dormitory at full speed, he stared at the exit of the building and did not see anyone coming out. The elevator number next to him didn't jump. The person who fired the shot couldn't be faster than him, so he must still be in this building.

The lobby on the ground floor was empty except for a few potted plants placed in the corner.

He held the gun and slowly walked up the stairs. The moonlight and the light from the sentry post poured in from the windows of the stairwell, and the tiled floor glowed with a cold white light.

Lu Rankong's movements made no sound, like a wild beast stalking in the darkness, and he reached the second floor silently.

Judging from the time and speed, the murderer - perhaps the Longte alien - is also on the second floor at this moment.

There was a long corridor on the second floor with offices on both sides. At this time, the doors were all closed, so the man must be hiding behind one of the doors.

Lu Rankong held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds in the darkness.

It was quiet all around. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, and a fallen piece of document slid on the ground, making a rustling sound.

He chose to walk to the left side of the passage, stopped in front of the first door, gently turned the door handle, and quickly slipped in.

Although there was no light in the room, it was still very clear. There was no other place to hide except the desk and the chair.

He stepped out and continued to check the next room, listening attentively to the movements around him while checking. At this moment, even the slightest breath could not escape his ears.

Just when there were only four rooms left, a crisp ding sound suddenly came from a room in the right corridor.

This is the sound of an incoming call on the terminal, the simplest one. But when the first prompt tone sounded, it was like a thunderclap, breaking the deathly silence of the entire building.

As the bell rang, a dark shadow flashed out from the room on the right closest to the stairs and rushed towards the stairs.

At the same time, Lu Rankong also rushed towards the stairs, as fast as a gust of wind.

But there were still seven or eight rooms between him and the stairs, and the dark shadow was right at the stairs. When Lu Rankong rushed over, he had already climbed over the guardrail and jumped to the ground floor.

Lu Rankong jumped down the stairs and saw that the man had already rushed out of the building when he landed. His prison guard uniform was revealed under the light of the prison sentry post.

He pointed the gun at the back and pulled the trigger.

The person in front bent his left foot downward, staggered two steps, and revealed his profile. He immediately stood up and continued to run forward, but he was limping and it was obvious that his left leg had been hit.

Although Lu Rankong already had some guesses in his mind, he still narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw his face.

He raised his gun again and aimed at the right leg of the man in front of him.

boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from somewhere, the ground shook violently, and the whole building was shaking. There were sounds of breaking glass everywhere, crashing to the ground.

Caught off guard, Lu Rankong lost his balance and the bullet had already been fired, hitting the metal door frame of the building with a bang, sending out a spark.

But the man took advantage of this opportunity, turned to the right and hid behind a row of bungalows.

The prison's automatic alarm has been activated, and a long sirens sound throughout the sky, shrill and rapid.

Lu Rankong continued to chase forward. Just after he took two steps, he saw something falling from behind the bungalow. It bounced on the ground a few times and landed in front of him.

He looked down and found a black metal object among the broken glass. It had been broken into two pieces, but it was still clear that it was a button remote control.

Oh no, that loud noise just now was caused by him detonating something.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu Rankong ran while looking around. When he saw the circular mountain wall in the distance, his pupils suddenly contracted and his pace slowed down.

I saw a black hole as big as a tunnel appearing on the mountain wall behind the prison, and water was gushing out of it, like a silver waterfall, pouring down.

Directly below the water flow was the depression in the warehouse, where all the prisoners and guards were watching a movie.

While he was stunned, the man's figure had appeared at the prison gate not far away, holding the pass card for identification.

As soon as Lu Rankong raised his gun, he walked out of the prison gate and disappeared into the night.

Lu Rankong looked at the flood gushing out from the distant mountain wall and made a decision after only two seconds of hesitation. He decided to let the man go for the time being and go to the warehouse to take a look.

After all, he was injured and out of prison, so it wouldn't be too difficult to catch him. But this explosion was too strange. There were thousands of people in the warehouse, so absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Under the treatment of the medical officer, Liu Zhao's chest began to rise and fall regularly, his breathing became much steadier, and his complexion gradually improved, but he was still in a coma and had not awakened.

"Xiao Chen, go back to the operating room." The medical officer pushed the stretcher and was about to leave, instructing his assistant.

Seeing that Liu Zhao was no longer in danger of death, Lan Yu wanted to find Lu Rankong. He just chased the person who fired the gun, and he didn't know what the situation was like now or whether he was in danger.

As soon as I turned around, I heard a loud explosion, the ground beneath my feet shook, and my ears began to buzz.

Lan Yu almost fell down and quickly held onto the pillar beside her.

"What happened? What happened? Was it an earthquake? Or did the building collapse?" There was rubble falling above his head, and the medical officer immediately leaned over Liu Zhao and asked a series of questions in panic.

Lan Yu didn't bother to rub his ears. He walked around the house behind him and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw thick smoke and dust covering the back of the prison, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on. At the same time, there was also the roar of a huge flowing water.

Then, the shrill and sharp automatic alarm sounded throughout the prison.

"The automatic alarm has sounded. Is it an earthquake or a house collapse?" The medical officer was blocked by the house and could not see the situation behind. He could not leave the stretcher and was very anxious.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lan Yu murmured, "It wasn't an earthquake or a house collapse, it was a flood."

"A flood?"

The assistant also came over and looked back, then turned around in shock and said, "Teacher, there really is a flood. There is a big hole in the mountain, and I don't know where the water is coming from."

"Where does the flood on Quyu planet come from? I have worked in a prison all my life and have never seen even a stream." The medical officer looked confused.

"It's a flood and a waterfall, teacher. It really exists."

Such a scene had never been seen on Qu Yu Star, so the assistants and medical officers were not worried about the situation in the prison, but were just wondering how the water appeared.

Lan Yu didn't care about these things at all, he was worried about Lu Rankong. I don’t know what happened to him after the gunshot just now.

As soon as I turned around, I heard the assistant suddenly yell "Oops!" and said anxiously: "That, there, that below..."

"What's going on down there?" the medical officer asked.

"The sunken area down there is a warehouse. People who watch movies are in there."

Lan Yu stopped and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yes, the warehouse was only a few rows of stone stairs away, and they could have run out immediately. However, it had been at least two minutes since the explosion, and some people should have come out, but until now no one was seen.

He was just hesitating whether to go to the warehouse or look for Lu Rankong, when someone ran by and a familiar voice rang out: "Qiao'er, follow me."

When Lan Yu heard the voice, her heart suddenly settled down, and all her worries and panic disappeared.

It’s Lu Rankong.

He followed and ran towards the warehouse shoulder to shoulder with Lu Rankong.

"That person ran away..." Lu Rankong suddenly spoke.

"ah?"

"I shot Liu Zhao, but he ran away."

Lan Yu then realized that the moment he saw Lu Rankong, the only thought in his mind was that he was safe, and he didn't even think about the murderer who had not been caught.

"Just run away." He said indifferently.

Feeling Lu Rankong looking at him, he realized that what he said was wrong, and immediately said with a stern face: "Why did you let him get away? What if it was that Longte alien?"

"I injured his left leg." Lu Rankong said.

"Are you hurt?" Lan Yu asked indifferently with a serious face.

In fact, the ears are erected high.

Lu Rankong said: "How could Brother Bao get hurt? Don't worry..."

"I'm not worried..."

Lu Rankong glanced at him sideways as he ran, "You're obviously worried."

"fart……"

"You are anxious..."

"shameless……"

"Last time you cried and said you didn't cry, you had this expression on your face. It looks like nothing happened, but it actually means you're guilty."

Lan Yu braked and stopped, looking at him coldly: "Are you annoying?"

"Hey, don't stop." Lu Rankong reached out and pulled him, "I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed, I was wrong."

Lan Yu broke free from his hand and ran away, saying, "You clearly said not to mention that, but you keep talking about it. You even said you forgot about it and it was an illusion. I think you'll talk about it in your sleep too."

Lu Rankong knew he was in the wrong and shut his mouth.

After running two steps, he whispered, "I'm worried, I'm worried about you too, there's nothing wrong with admitting it."

His voice was not loud, and it was not clear among the footsteps, but Lan Yu still understood it.

His heart skipped a beat, but he pretended not to hear it and continued the topic he had started with, asking, "So where did he go?"

"He's out of prison. But it's okay. Let's see what's going on in the warehouse. If there's no problem, we'll go catch him outside the prison."

The two ran across the wide playground and entered the passage next to the cafeteria one after the other.

Lu Rankong explained as he ran: "As long as the Longte starman is inside the body, when he injures the host, his body will also be injured. It's just that I don't know how long he stayed in this host's body. I didn't dare to shoot at the vital parts, and only hit his left leg. Seeing that something happened here, I temporarily ignored him and let him run first. Anyway, he can't leave Quyu Star even if he leaves the prison gate, so we can slowly look for him later."

"Do you know what's going on with the water on the cliff?" Lan Yu walked around a large plastic basket full of dinner plates in the passage.

"It was blown up. The guy I was chasing pressed the detonator."

Lan Yu continued to ask: "Then did you see clearly who he is?"

Lu Rankong was silent for a moment, then said, "It's basically clear..."

"Who is it?"

"You should have guessed it."

Lan Yu turned her thoughts and asked, "He was hiding in the building. How did you find him?"

Lu Rankong pushed aside a bamboo pole that was dragging horizontally and said, "His terminal suddenly rang."

Lan Yu recalled that she had once made a call using Liu Zhao's terminal, but the call was hung up before it was answered, followed by a gunshot.

He quickened his pace to catch up with Lu Rankong, looked at him and said, "I may know who you are talking about."

Lu Rankong turned his head and looked at him, then said in unison: "Officer Wang..."
