Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Either die in your arms, or die...
Bringing snacks with you even when you're fighting? How strange.
Beitai squatted down to search her and confiscated all the items. She also handed over the bag.
She hadn't figured out what to do with this person yet. She had many questions and wanted to ask.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She stood up and went over. Xie Yifei was standing at the table, communicator in hand. "They want to exchange prisoners."
"who?"
Xie Yifei: "One person, Captain Xia."
She took the communicator, broke the silence, and spoke first: "Let him speak."
…
"Tomorrow, you bring the person here."
After the call ended, Beitai said goodbye to her after dinner. The Bear Team had integrated and was heading to the inner circle. The two teams couldn't compete. There were mountains ahead, so they had to take a detour.
The goodbyes were sudden, and in the darkness, I watched them leave.
A blood-red full moon hangs high in the sky.
Lawrence finished his report and was about to turn around when he was stopped. The captain was holding a booklet in his hand, but his eyes were looking at the tents of the wounded.
Xie Yifei: "It's getting late, go and take a look."
He nodded in agreement, walked to the front of the tent, and opened the curtain. The person on the stretcher was sleeping peacefully, and the guide was sitting in the corner with his eyes lowered and his mind wandering.
The guide was full of energy, and his spiritual power was released generously. As soon as he stepped in, his breathing slowed down.
Xu Shanshan heard footsteps and looked up to see a man holding a shawl, saying that it was cold at night and asking her to stop guarding and go to rest.
She wanted to take one more look at Ares.
Lawrence led her to an open space, where she saw the man, his hands and feet tied, a collar around his neck, and something gagged in his mouth, curled up on the grass.
The flashlight shone, and a strong light hit the man's face. He tilted his head slightly and turned away little by little.
Lawrence brought over a folding chair. She sat down directly opposite Ares and waved him away. "Give me ten minutes, okay?"
Lawrence's eyes lingered on the fallen man, and he nodded and said, "I'm right up ahead."
"If you need help, tell me."
This made her confused. What kind of help could she provide?
Lawrence thought she was going to punish this person privately and was ready to help her suppress him.
"Just chatting, can you please keep them away?"
Lawrence turned his head mechanically. "Chat?" He stood up, kicked, tore off the yellow tape, and took out the strip.
He left his flashlight behind, waved away the guards, and stood at a distance waiting.
After everyone left, she felt her throat itchy, coughed twice, pulled her cloak tighter, turned the flashlight to low brightness, and shone it on the man's chest.
"Can you speak?"
The two looked at each other. He didn't open his mouth. Blood scabs appeared on his face. The bumps were red and swollen, and his pink flesh was exposed. Grass passed by and just looked at her.
"If you don't tell me, then I will."
When Ares listened to her, he was confused at first, then became angry and sad, and finally questioned her.
She said, "Aren't we friends? We met online, and I came to find you."
No, although they met online, he was the one who was paying attention to the other person at first. The first meeting was a chance encounter, and the subsequent "chance encounters" were deliberately planned.
"You sent me those pictures, and I saw them."
Xu Shanshan's thoughts kept going back, interspersed with memories of every time they were together.
"That time in the library, I actually wanted to break up, but because someone was there, I let it go."
Broken? Ares tried his best to ignore the word, not chewing on its meaning, pretending not to hear it, and scrolling forward in time.
When they first met, it was obviously happy and harmonious. They dined together, went shopping together, and he even took her home.
I thought it would go further, but then it took a sharp turn for the worse.
He was very confident at that time, so he ignored the existence of other people. Unless they were alone or went back to her house, there were always other people around her. There was never a lack of people around her.
Xu Shanshan did not deny that, apart from other things, the two of them got along quite well, but she couldn't let go.
"I was a little busy later, and another accident happened." She was referring to Karl, who had provoked a virgin boy, and she had never thought of running away.
Yes, they only had one-way contact from then on.
Ares heard that she had been to the team. He was excited at first, but then he learned that she was with another sentry - Xia Guangli, and was not looking for him.
It's okay for him, after all, there was a chance and they got along early, but suddenly a new person appeared, and they were together all day long. The most hateful thing was that he came from behind and took over.
He couldn't wait for anyone.
"I don't want to date you anymore," the woman said, her eyes red, "especially after you hurt Carl."
"……don't want"
She was immersed in her own world. She seemed to hear something, but she couldn't tell whether it was him. Then she thought of the recent events and sneered.
"You commanded, attacked our team, and harmed my teammates—my friends and family."
"After that, they didn't let us go and kept chasing us all the way."
"I really want to end you with my own hands."
Hearing this, Ares lost his mind. He seemed to have lost the sense of pain and his head was buzzing. What is the opposite of love?
She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and looked up at the man. "Do you hate me and want to take revenge on me?"
Their eyes met, but he couldn't speak. She couldn't hear the comments in her heart, she only saw his face flushed, the veins on his neck bulging as if inflated, and when he struggled, the serrations of leaves pierced into the tender flesh.
There was no need for explanation, she just couldn't believe that they had no other team to choose from except the Bird Team.
"If you have any opinions, come to me, don't touch the people around me."
Her fingers touched the top of the flashlight. The tungsten steel window-breaking beads inlaid on the head of the flashlight were very hard. She put it down, touched the scabbard hanging on her belt, and then touched the handle.
She shielded her eyes with her left hand, closed it, thought for a moment, sighed, and finally let it go. She stood up and squatted in front of the man, her hand resting on his chin, her thumb rubbing across his cheek, pushing away the crusted mud.
"Why did you grow a tail?"
Warm, delicate and soft fingers moved across her face. When she closed her eyes, a warm current wrapped around the man's body, cleansing his brain, and the tail pressed to the ground gradually disappeared.
Isn't she very angry and disappointed in him? Why did she help him with his treatment? The ashes were rekindled, and Ares felt that as long as there was a little hope, he would not let go.
The hand withdrew, the breath faded, the light went out, and the person left. The person on the ground turned over in a cricket pupae, but after she left, others immediately followed, blocking the light and stuffing their heads and mouths.
Xu Shanshan walked towards the man waiting on the side, muttering to herself that she was still soft-hearted. Looking at his appearance, she wanted to punch him twice, but couldn't bring herself to do it.
Return the flashlight to Lawrence and carry it all the way to the car.
The car door opened and there was a person sitting inside. He stopped and looked at her, then reached out his hand to her. Xu Shanshan waved her hand to refuse and climbed into the car by herself.
He himself is injured, so why does he need to help?
Xiao Han: "Are you sleepy?"
"Not bad." She wanted to go forward to get something, but she realized there was someone else sitting in the driver's seat. She raised her voice, "Song Xiaoyu, why are you sitting here?"
"Let's find a place to sleep."
She had taken a long-distance green train with hard seats. When she got off, her legs were stiff and she couldn't sleep well. Her head tilted to the side and she woke up from time to time. Although the driver's seat could be adjusted, it was better to sleep on a bed.
Lawrence was about to leave, but when he heard the voice, he turned back and popped his head out and said, "Yeah, what are you doing here?"
Lawrence: "There's an empty seat over there." Blocking his excuse in advance.
Song Xiaoyu ignored him and only explained to the guide: "I want to keep an eye on you. If anything happens, we can both take care of each other."
She listened to this explanation and it made sense. The three of them had always been together and rarely separated. She was just worried, "Is it not easy to sleep there?"
Song Xiaoyu: "Then I'll go to bed too?"
If he can get into bed, then so can he.
Lawrence: "I'll be in the driver's seat."
Stop, stop, stop. Her concern didn't mean they could get any further. Xu Shanshan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go find a bed with him."
Then he turned to Lawrence and said, "I appreciate your kindness. Please find him a bed. We don't need anyone else here."
Song Xiaoyu was unwilling to accept the fate of being evicted, so he settled for the next best thing and refused to move. "I'll just sleep here."
Lawrence: "Then I can sleep under the bed."
Where is the bottom of the bed? She was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react. It should be under the seat, where the feet are. The narrow space is very crowded for these people.
There was no other way, so she stood up, jumped out of the car, ran to the front, opened the cockpit door, dragged the man down, and pushed his back. Her butterfly bones were wrapped in muscles, and the flesh was clearly visible.
It didn't take much effort to bring the two together. Song Xiaoyu wanted to pull her hand to plead for mercy, but he let go and raised his hands in front of him, "Let's go."
Seeing that she left no room for negotiation, Song Xiaoyu said good night, glanced at Lawrence again, and turned to leave.
Lawrence: “I—”
"You go too."
"……good"
After they both left, she let out a long sigh, returned to the car, closed the door, and made the mattress.
She lay down on the bed, her head resting on her hands. After this commotion, her previous mood dissipated. It was really pushing it too far. She even wanted to say something a little more extreme, that is, shameless.
Xiao Han was still packing her things, like a hoarder, trying to pack all her supplies into a backpack, but it seemed like she had packed some useless things.
For example, two combs.
After finishing the job, the man lifted it up to test its weight. She also crawled over, grabbed the strap with one hand, and didn't move at all.
She let go of the hammering and the man paused, then turned around and asked, "Would you like me to give you a massage?"
"You also know this?"
"Yeah." During team training, when muscles ached, they would help each other massage them. Seeing her refuse, he told her it wouldn't affect her health.
Her heart was moved, and she turned around and lay on the pillow.
"Press your waist more."
"Hiss~ Gently."
"It's heavier here... Hey, that's the force."
The sound lingered inside the car, and outside, there were the sounds of insects chirping at night.
Song Xiaoyu and Lawrence walked towards the tent one after the other, walking very quickly. Seeing that they were going in the wrong direction, Lawrence shouted, "This way."
Nasty bees.
Song Xiaoyu wasn't happy, but he didn't stop. He kept going. Who would be with his family? He wanted to go back to his own team and sleep. This guy was ruining his plans. He waved him off.
Seeing the man's indifferent reaction, Lawrence stood there, shrugged his shoulders, put his feet together, and turned to leave. Who wants to care about him? If it weren't for the guide's order, he wouldn't care whether he had a place to sleep or not. It would be better to sleep on the main road.
Disgusting birdman.
As the captain, Darren slept at the exit, so when Song Xiaoyu came back, he was the first to see him and nodded. There were many empty beds and he could choose any one he wanted.
In order to organize the retreat, Darren himself was injured and seriously wounded in the counterattack, so now there are two teams, discussed by the two of them, but mainly managed by Xie Yifei.
The time was up, Darren signaled to him that it was time to rest, and soon the lights went out.
Song Xiaoyu lay flat on his back. Some people fall asleep quickly and start snoring. Although it is not loud, it is annoying.
There was no longer any scent of her in the air. He kept his eyes open, thinking to himself that he had to find a way to get into bed and change Xiao Han out.
He has to get promoted.
