Xiao Jing dropped the gun in her hand and pushed open the fragmented wall with her bare hands, desperately trying to unearth the buried person.
The flames devoured the entire factory for a while, and she felt that the fire dragon was holding that smug smile as it wanted to swallow her, but she clung to the pile of residual stones.
“What are you doing?” Shen Chengfeng stood up from the pile of stones panting, looking at Xiao Jing who was bleeding from her hands, his face frowning and his eyes furrowing.
Xiao Jing blinked and looked at the man with a paralyzed face looking in her eyes just as before, and her eyes turned so sore that she cried.
“…”
Shen Chengfeng stepped down from the stone, grabbed him from the ground, and glanced at the gun that was thrown aside, and said, “I said that even if the soldier is dead, he should hold his weapon tightly.”
Xiao Jing poked her mouth, picked up the sniper rifle, and took a breath. “I thought you were killed.”
“This is just a simple S-class task, and it can’t do much harm to me.” Shen Chengfeng turned around inadvertently, apparently ignoring her wolf howling and his right hand that was still bleeding.
Xiao Jing followed behind him, asking carefully: “I obviously saw a pile of stones hit you, how did you avoid it?”
“When you grow up to be me one day, any unknown danger can be anticipated in advance, this is experience, and now when you follow me, it becomes a burden.”
Xiao Jing stopped, thought about the before and after, and thought his words were justified.
Shen Chengfeng noticed that the person behind him had stopped moving and glanced back at him.
Xiao Jing stood in a military posture, saluted him, and said powerfully: “Then I will retreat first, and cheer the captain on.”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jing walked away without turning back.
“….” Shen Chengfeng looked at the small figure that disappeared as soon as he spoke and shook his head with tears of laughter appearing in his eyes. This was the best way.
Xiao Jing moved to a high place and paid full attention to the movements around her to ensure that her captain would be able to retreat after he rescued Jiang Si.
“The boss said the bomb detonated the cell immediately.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Jing’s ears moved slightly, and she listened to the distant sounds, and went up and down from a height, carefully followed behind the two.
The two men were one meter nine, each holding an AK, and were shuttling seriously among the flames.
“Someone’s here.” One found the clue and looked around cautiously.
“Hmm.” A bullet burst through the muzzle and penetrated the blazing fire, as if covered with a fiery red coat, and finally landed in the heart of one of the men.
Seeing this, the other person started firing in a hurry.
Xiao Jing ambushed him from the right, swiped him with the gun butt, and hit the man directly on his head.
The man shook his body twice and fell to the ground without gravity.
Xiao Jing raised her gun to his head, and said blankly, “Where is the control room?”
The man was prepared to resist, but when he just moved, the muzzle came closer to one point.
Xiao Jing didn’t have much time to deal with him, so she pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullet rushed out of the muzzle and penetrated the man’s skull.
Xiao Jing looked around, and the sound of explosions came one after another. She gave a careful look in the direction Shen Chengfeng was walking, gritted her teeth, and ran across like a meteor.
The dark dungeon seemed to have not been burned by the fire outside, and an increasingly intense cold wind swept through it.
Xiao Jing walked very carefully. She heard the sound of intermittent chains banging in front of her.
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves, and his fingertips had just come into contact with the iron chain, and the chain, which was originally smelted from refined iron, broke into two without any effort.
Jiang Si and another man who were unconscious lay on the ground. There were ticking instruments lying around them.
Shen Chengfeng squatted down and looked at the time bomb tied to the two, his expression stunned.
“Don’t come over.” He heard a footstep behind him and gave her a deep look.
Xiao Jing stopped and looked down. The time bomb number showed 0.5.
Shen Chengfeng put on his gloves and carefully studied the structure of the bomb.
Xiao Jing whispered, “Captain, will you dismantle it?”
Shen Chengfeng didn’t give her an answer, but in the silence, his eyes became sharper and deeper. “This is a gravity bomb. See that iron bead is not there. As long as this bead loses a little balance, the bomb will detonate immediately.”
“So as long as they are awake, or we move them, the bomb will detonate here immediately?” Xiao Jing squatted aside, anxious, “What should we do next?”
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves, pointed at the three wires connecting the bomb, and asked, “What color do you like?”
“…” Was this to make her pick?
“Here are three wires. If you cut them correctly, you can stop it for three minutes, but once the iron beads lose their balance, they will explode immediately. If you cut the wrong one, the timer will immediately reset to zero and the bomb will detonate immediately.”
“So whether we cut it or not, it will burst?”
Shen Chengfeng nodded.
“….” Then why do you have to bother asking what color I liked?
Shen Chengfeng’s fingertips lightly touched the glass tube, and he reiterated: “When facing this situation in the future, you have only one choice and run.”
“Just leave the hostages?”
“You can also choose to die with them.” Shen Chengfeng took two hands, and the wire that was still jumping under his contact gradually turned into a pool of water, including the delicately designed balancer.
“….” Xiao Jing frowned slightly. “Of course I don’t have your ability to rot the bomb.”
“Wake him up.” Shen Chengfeng wiped his hands and put on his gloves again.
Xiao Jing squatted in front of Jiang Si and patted his face, saying, “Major Jiang, Major Jiang.”
Jiang Si felt that his head was a little dizzy and his eyes were blurry. When his vision became clear, he did not expect that the person who would be looking down on him would be the one he looked down on the most.
Xiao Jing asked, “Can you stand by yourself?”
Jiang Si’s head was a little dizzy. He sat up and glanced at Professor Zhao Ziyi, who was also unconscious on his side, and frowned, “You came to save us?”
“It’s not time for me to get up and go.” Xiao Jing was holding him.
Jiang Si felt physically weak and his head was dizzy. He slapped himself hard twice and became awake for a moment.
“Well.” The explosion blasted a vortex of fire waves, and the raging fire devoured the entire factory.
Escaping the factory covered by the blazing fire, Jiang Si’s legs softened and he fell directly to the ground. He supported his hands on the grass and started panting.
Xiao Jing’s tense nerve slowly relaxed one by one and now she was also sitting on the floor, swallowing while drooling.
Jiang Si looked at him for a moment, sulking in his throat.
“Don’t be embarrassed in the future, this time you can go back alive, it is a big favor.” Xiao Jing looked at his unwilling eyes.
Jiang Si frowned. This face, when he met for the first time, he was full of disdain for it, but unexpectedly, in some months, he could go deep into the tiger’s hole and retreat back safely.
“Captain, there is no car now, how should we leave here?” Xiao Jing looked up at Shen Chengfeng who was watching what was happening.
Shen Chengfeng lowered his telescope and replied: “There was such a big movement here, there must be many potential people around waiting for the opportunity. We can’t rush out, let’s take a break and wait until dawn.”
“Do you think that people will return?” Xiao Jing asked again.
Shen Chengfeng turned his head and examined the little soldier who asked these words, condescendingly.
Xiao Jing smiled awkwardly, when she saw the reply from her captain’s eyes: the mind is an important thing.
In this case, how could that group of people return, surrounded by bandits who could rush up and rob them at any time, and after they had suffered heavy casualties, they would definitely look for the next base overnight, and wait to care for their injury before coming back again.
Oh, the people in the city were smart.
In the middle of the night, the voice of a gopher digging at the earth came softly.
Shen Chengfeng was sitting on the mountain alone, with his back to the moonlight, so that his whole face looked a little unreal.
“Well.” Xiao Jing sat beside him.
Shen Chengfeng squinted at the uninvited little figure and didn’t say a word to break the silence.
“Captain, is your injury better?” Xiao Jing couldn’t help looking at his injured right hand, the light was dim, and he was wearing dark clothes, if not for the faint smell of blood in the air, she thought she would have ignored the invisible wound.
Shen Chengfeng disagreed: “A little injury.”
Xiao Jing didn’t poke the cover in his words. In this case, in the face of that special body, if there was no special medicine, she knew that even if his arm was poked with a large hole, she would not be able to heal it.
“Not going to rest yet?” Shen Chengfeng looked at the two who had fallen asleep.
“Too excited, can’t sleep.” Xiao Jing raised her hands to her cheeks, staring directly at the fire that was burning not far away.
Shen Chengfeng looked at him, as the moonlight fell softly on his somewhat gray face, and there seemed to be a few drops of dirt on his brows.
Xiao Jing straightened her back stiffly, and watched a hand suddenly reach in front of her. She twisted her neck stiffly, and she happened to see her captain stretch out his hand to wipe the dust from her face.
He didn’t wear gloves and touched her skin from a distance. The feeling seemed to be similar to that of a feather sweeping through a pool of water causing ripples, while the ripples opened and spread for a long time.
“Captain.” Xiao Jing called subconsciously.
“Well.” Shen Chengfeng responded naturally.
Xiao Jing looked down, her mouth slightly raised, “Captain, I never thought I would have such an amazing day, nor did I think that there would be such an exciting day. There were gunfires that numbed the eardrums, there were bullets galloping around, and yes the blazing fire from the cannon rain, I feel that after this day, I also had a moment of glory.”
“Should I praise you? Um?” Shen Chengfeng lifted his chin and met his eyes.
Xiao Jing couldn’t help but blush and blurt out, “I think you should praise me.”
“Great little soldier.” Shen Chengfeng patted his head lightly.
The night breeze was blowing, and the grass mustard was blown gently.
Xiao Jing blinked, and her facial contours gradually became clearer. For some reason, her heartbeat suddenly lost her normal frequency, and slammed into the inner wall of her heart, as if silently drilling like a deer.
She looked away hurriedly, staring guiltily at the stars above in the sky.
Jiang Si closed his eyes quietly, and he squeezed the dirt under his hands tightly.
Why couldn’t he be reconciled?
He, Xiao Jing really made him look.
Amazing Xiao Jing!
The morning sun broke out at dawn, and the fire that burned overnight was slowly extinguished, leaving only thick smoke to fill the sky.
Xiao Jing organized her weapons, and immediately followed her captain.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the small figure behind him, and asked solemnly, “Is everything packed?”
Xiao Jing spread out her two hands, as if to say: Captain, are you blind? What can I do to pack up the two guns? Or do you think we snatched a hundred thousand and eighty thousand in cash last night?
Shen Chengfeng stopped and looked at the inevitable road into the city. Because of the explosion last night, a temporary checkpoint had been set up at the intersection. Everyone who entered the city seemed to be being checked.
Although most residents of Hidden City possessed guns, very few of them would flee the city with guns during the daytime.
“Four of you, come over.” The inspection soldier found the four people, lowered the record sheet in his hand, and shouted directly at them.
The two officers made two laps around the four of them. In the end, they intended to grab the gun in Xiao Jing’s hand, but they were pulled with a palm of a hand when they just touched the gun, and the prey in their hand escaped.
Xiao Jing held a gun at the officer who dared to rob her, meticulously looked at him, and said, “What do you want to do?”
“I asked what you wanted to do.” The officer eloquently attracted a group of people.
The four were successfully enclosed.
“Look where you are coming from, what did you do last night.” A man walked from behind the crowd, with a proud and arrogant smile on his face.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the other side’s uniform from top to bottom, this should be the captain of the garrison detachment of the hidden city.
The man was disdainful after being scorned by this look, and said indifferently, “In accordance with the rules, I’m sorry, I need the cooperation of the four of you, please follow me.”
“I think you need to contact your superior, Colonel Sun Qi,” Shen Chengfeng said.
After the man looked at him, he carefully paid close attention to this guy who was utterly verbal. The recent uneasiness of the hidden city was likely to have attracted the attention of the above people, and it was not wrong to say that these people might be secret leaders.
For security reasons, he immediately called Sun Qi’s phone.
“Yes, yes, I will immediately send a special car to take them over, yes, yes, I must do my best to protect their safety, yes, yes, sir.” The man saluted.
The man put down the phone, laughed twice, and then stepped forward complimentarily, standing upright with his head raised, and said, “Sir, I will send you to the headquarters, please follow me.”
On the plane on the return flight, Xiao Jing had a full beauty sleep. Although she had fallen asleep in an uncomfortable position, she slept comfortably overall.
But when she opened her eyes, she felt a strong sense of resentment aimed towards her inexplicably. She instinctively looked towards her right. Sure enough, Jiang Si was staring at her with dead fish eyes.
Jiang Si saw him suddenly sober, and quickly regained his staring offensive.
Xiao Jing wasn’t sure what kind of stimulation the imbalanced person had in his heart. He slightly poked the captain’s arm next to her and whispered: “Does this Major Jiang have something to say to me?”
Shen Chengfeng stared blankly at the figure questioning him, without a sound.
Xiao Jing didn’t get a reply. So she looked at her captain a little bit confused. From his eyes, she saw a deep sense of grievance, like a little wife who had endured all kinds of torture, now showed grievances in her eyes, and unwillingness with humiliation.
The atmosphere in the cabin was a bit awkward.
Shen Chengfeng rubbed his sore arm in silence which was pressed for a full three hours. He couldn’t figure out why he hadn’t pushed away this little head that dared to lose his identity.
Xiao Jing lowered her voice and asked, “Captain, do you have something to say to me?”
“Write a review of two thousand words when you go back.” The man’s deep voice suddenly burst like a thunderstorm.
Xiao Jing stood up conditionedly and said, “Captain, I didn’t make any mistakes.”
Shen Chengfeng raised another finger and pointed at his shoulder.
When Xiao Jing calmly looked, there was a big water stain. So, she asked, “What is this?”
“Your saliva,” replied briefly.
“…” Xiao Jing touched her mouth, at that moment she almost blurted out why is my drool on you, what did you do to me while I was asleep. But after thinking about it, was it because she fell asleep and did something uncontrollable to the captain?
Shen Chengfeng turned his head and looked out of the cabin, and then said, “Three thousand words review.”
Xiao Jing poked her lips and sat back in an aggrieved position, with her little hand gently hooking Shen Chengfeng’s clothes, as she said, “Captain, can it be changed to three hundred push-ups?”
“Four thousand words review.”
“I’ll write, I go back and write right away.” Xiao Jing slammed back and her mouth had unsurprisingly become a puffer fish again.
I’m so angry, my captain let people write reviews, but what should I do? I even have to smile at him eagerly.
Shen Chengfeng squinted his gaze at the person who kept pulling his hair out, pressing the laptop in front of him in silence.
Xiao Jing’s look over had been unintentional, but the screen was suddenly magnified in the next moment. She did worry that her behavior was not a secret, but her body was still dragging the computer tightly.
“Captain, captain, is this mine?” Xiao Jing asked joyously.
“Crap.” Shen Chengfeng closed the computer without a word, and looked as usual, as he said tepidly: “This is a confidential document. In your capacity, you can’t remember the words above.”
