The night was as foggy as before. The bustling Queen Street began to become quiet. Around the quiet block, rats were crawling across the old water pipes.
“Dong dong dong.” The orderly footsteps passed quietly through the street, and the figures were elongated by the dim street lights.
Xiao Jing sat on the top floor of a dilapidated old building, overlooking a group of figures walking past the block. The distance between them was quite large, and she couldn’t make out their facial features for a moment, but judging from the meticulous walking traces between them, these people should be well-trained soldiers.
“We must guard every place strictly to ensure nothing goes wrong.” The man walking at the front of the team said seriously.
Xiao Jing noticed that they were pushing a wooden box behind them. The box looked quite heavy, and the two people pushing the box seemed to be struggling.
Blood seeped from the cracks in the box, leaving traces along the way.
Xiao Jing quickly climbed down from the top floor along the water pipe, squatted on the ground to check the bloodstains on the ground, and after confirming that it was human blood, she followed closely up.
The empty streets began to become narrow and finally filled with waves of disgusting stench.
Xiao Jing hid in the corner, far away, but she could still see them open the wooden box and pour all the contents into a pool.
Although she was not very sure, she subconsciously felt that these things should be corpses.
Xiao Jing couldn’t help but clench her fists, her heart in her throat.
“The superior has ordered that it be incinerated immediately.” The leading man gave the order again.
When Xiao Jing saw another group of people coming over pushing oil drums, her expression froze. She couldn’t delay any longer.
“Pour the oil.” The man lit a cigarette and watched the oil barrel being opened with a dim gaze.
“Bang.” A bullet came through the air, carrying with it a sense of desolation in the moonlit night, and landed on the man who was opening the oil barrel.
“There’s an ambush.” The man dropped his cigarette and hastily pulled out his gun.
“Bang.” A bullet hit again.
“Siege.” The man gave the order.
Xiao Jing knew that he was outnumbered, so he climbed over the pile of mud and rocks and moved quickly through the alley.
“Bang, bang, bang.” The deafening sound of bullets came from behind.
Xiao Jing climbed up the high wall, flipped sideways from the wall, and successfully hid herself in the opponent’s blind spot.
“Look around and shoot immediately if you find any intruders.”
Xiao Jing calculated their approaching speed, and with a serious expression she grasped the outline of her gun, waiting for the other party to fall into her trap.
“Bang.” She pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet rushed out of the muzzle with flames and hit the back of the heart of the man walking past.
“Target found.” Another person said hurriedly.
Xiao Jing remained calm and continued shooting.
“What the hell? He’s as difficult to deal with as the man last night. Ask for support. Go and ask for support.”
“Bang.”
Before the man could finish his words, the bullet hit him right between the eyebrows.
Xiao Jing was certain that something must have happened to the captain last night, and she couldn’t delay any longer.
“Besiege.”
Xiao Jing fired a blank shot, climbed up the high wall from the other end of the yard, took a big step, jumped over the other high wall, and jumped into the yard again.
The stinking ditch was overflowing with a foul smell, and the strong smell of blood made people want to retreat as far as possible.
Xiao Jing looked at the pile of things under the wooden board in disbelief. There were corpses crisscrossed everywhere. Their deaths looked strange, and each of them had signs of corrosion on their bodies.
She couldn’t waste any more time, so she put on gloves and jumped in. There were corpses one after another. The moonlight was a little weak. She checked everyone carefully while breathing heavily.
“Dong dong dong.” The sound of messy footsteps came from behind.
Xiao Jing knew that the reinforcements had arrived, so what should she do? Where was the captain?
“Hurry up and surround them.” A hurried voice sounded.
Xiao Jing didn’t care whether she would be exposed or not and shouted at the top of her voice: “Captain, Captain.”
Under the night sky, her voice was trembling, and a cold wind was blowing all around.
“Captain, Captain.” Xiao Jing clenched his fists and dug up the bodies one by one. There was no response, absolutely no response.
“Find the target, find the target.”
“Captain!” Xiao Jing shouted again.
The dark clouds were gradually blown away by the night wind, and the moonlight shone clearly all over her body. Some fallen leaves floated down with the night wind and happened to cover one person’s hand.
“Bang.”
Xiao Jing squatted down. She knew that she didn’t have much time left, but she still refused to give up the opportunity. If she left now, these bodies would definitely be incinerated immediately. What if the captain was inside?
“Captain.” She blurted out a soft call.
“Yeah, I’m here.” It was a reply so weak that it could be ignored.
Xiao Jing’s eyes narrowed as she stared in surprise at a hand one meter away from her. The hand was touching a corpse. The corpse began to corrode, and the thick smell of blood in the air was difficult to conceal. She rushed over in panic.
“Captain?” Xiao Jing called again tentatively.
“I’m here.” The man’s voice was very weak, but it was unusually clear to the ears.
Xiao Jing pushed away the body of the man that was pressing on him impatiently. When she saw the motionless man lying inside, she was so excited that she could hardly control herself and picked him up.
When Shen Chengfeng heard the familiar voice, he opened his eyes slightly. His vision was blurred and there were double images in front of his eyes, but he still found her shadow among them.
“Captain, I finally found you.” Xiao Jing dragged him up, and hearing that the enemy behind had broken through the last line of defense, she hurriedly carried him on her back.
But she might have underestimated a man who had been exercising regularly for many years. Although his body did not look very strong, it was as heavy as a mountain.
It was indeed a mountain. As soon as Xiao Jing carried it on her back, she was pressed down and could not move.
But at this moment she had no time to consider whether to abandon the captain or not. She had to bite the bullet and carry this man who was as heavy as a mountain to escape from the enemy camp that surrounded them on all sides.
“Why did you come?” Shen Chengfeng’s voice had lost its usual coldness and sounded weaker than ever before. He leaned against her ear, breathing heaving, as if he would suddenly disappear at any time.
Xiao Jing ran quickly along the ditch and escaped from an alley behind Queen Street that was so narrow that it could only accommodate one person.
“Why did you come?” Shen Chengfeng asked again.
“I came to take over your task.” Xiao Jing answered truthfully.
Shen Chengfeng felt his eyelids were a little heavy, but he still used all his strength to open his eyes. His eyes were misty and a little hazy. He gradually saw the person carrying him on his back. She had long fluttering hair and a faint scent of jasmine. Was she a woman?
No, this was his soldier.
That’s not right, his soldier seems to be a woman.
Shen Chengfeng was a little confused. He stared at her blankly, at her profile, at her thick eyebrows and big eyes, and at her facial features that seemed to have a little bit of light makeup on.
Xiao Jing noticed his sharp gaze and turned her head to the side. Their eyes met. She asked, “What does the captain want to tell me?”
Shen Chengfeng closed his eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Jing stood breathlessly on the high wall, which was estimated to be three meters high. She then put the big guy down on her back and let him lean against the wall.
Blood dripped down his clothes onto the ground, the bright red very dazzling.
Xiao Jing held his face and asked carefully: “Captain, can you hold on?”
Shen Chengfeng hit his head against the wall. He was in a daze but still nodded.
Xiao Jing carried him on her back again, listening to the chaotic footsteps around her. She knew that in two or three minutes, this place would definitely be surrounded by a large area, and she had to leave this street as soon as possible.
“There is a low wall in the southwest, and there are weapons behind the wall.” As soon as Shen Chengfeng finished speaking, his body lost its support point and he fell directly to the ground.
Xiao Jing’s heart sank, and she turned around and hugged him in her arms.
“Captain!” Her clothes were soaked with blood. Xiao Jing gritted her teeth, carried Shen Chengfeng on her back, and ran towards the direction he pointed with big strides.
At night, in the dark and narrow alley, the sound of footsteps began to gather.
Xiao Jing listened to the barking of dogs, her heart in her throat. She assembled her sniper rifle, stood on the top of the wall where she could temporarily hide, and carefully watched the increasing number of figures around her through a tiny crack in the wall.
The enemy had too many support personnel, almost reaching saturation. In this situation, Xiao Jing couldn’t guarantee whether they could escape safely, but she was determined to take the captain away at all costs.
Shen Chengfeng lost consciousness and leaned quietly beside her. The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and the barking of dogs around them became louder and louder.
“Knock, knock, knock.” There were sparse footsteps in the yard. A woman in a coat walked out of her living room and asked cautiously, “Who is it?”
Xiao Jing turned around in panic and saw a flashlight coming from the yard. She pointed her gun at the middle-aged woman who was about 40 or 50 years old.
The woman raised her hands in astonishment and said quickly, “I have no hostility.”
Xiao Jing knew this woman, she was the lady who gave her chocolate during the day.
The woman seemed to recognize Xiao Jing and asked in surprise, “Is it the oriental girl from noon?”
Xiao Jing still held the gun tightly. She couldn’t guarantee that the woman would not suddenly scream and attract pursuers.
“What happened to you?” The woman covered her mouth and nose with her hands, a look of disbelief on her face, “This man seems to be seriously injured.”
“I have no intention of breaking into your house. As long as you cooperate with me, I won’t kill you.” Xiao Jing said bluntly.
“Although I don’t know what you have done, I know something happened on Queen Street recently. There are so many more troops for no apparent reason, and there is a strong pungent smell of smoke and blood at night. I know exactly what this means. People have died, and many of them have died.”
Xiao Jing remained on high alert.
The woman continued, “Our peace has been disrupted. I really want to tell the country that we should ask these people to leave. They have brought us fear and even death threats, but no one will listen to us.”
“Terribly sorry.”
“I can see that you have no hostility, but I think if I don’t help you, you might end up like those people who died inexplicably, including the man next to you. I can see that he was seriously injured and seemed to have been rescued from the hands of that group of people.”
“Yes.”
“Follow me.” The woman handed over the flashlight.
Xiao Jing hesitated, but then weighed the pros and cons. The barking of dogs was getting closer and closer, and she estimated that they would reach here in less than ten minutes. She had no better choice as she was surrounded on all sides.
The woman led her through the backyard and opened the cellar. She said, “This is a temporary passage built during the war. It can pass through two streets smoothly.”
“Why are you helping us?”
The woman held her hands to her heart, looking sincere and serious. She said, “My wish is world peace, but these people have destroyed my peace. Since my peace has been destroyed, I can only think of using my own methods to restore it. May God bless you, my girl.”
Xiao Jing found it a little hard to believe, but there seemed to be no better way to escape now.
“Let’s go.” The woman closed the cellar door.
The dark underground passage was filled with the smell of decay.
Xiao Jing walked forward cautiously, and with the faint light of the flashlight, she listened to the rumbling sound of a car passing by above the surface.
The exit of the underground passage was connected to a sewer passage, and the sound of water flowing could be heard from the pipes.
Xiao Jing slowly climbed up the iron stairs and finally opened a manhole cover.
Under the cover of night, the surroundings were quiet.
“Captain, we are saved.” Xiao Jing leaned against a huge concrete pipe, looking up at the bright street lights not far away. She couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile.
It felt really great to be alive.
But she seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and glanced at Shen Chengfeng who seemed to be almost dead and couldn’t help but frown.
As the night deepened, it was already the early morning hours and the streets were deserted, with only one or two drunken men occasionally walking by.
Xiao Jing carried Shen Chengfeng to a building that was about to be demolished, took off his coat, and carefully checked his injuries. From his shoulders to his thighs, there were seven or eight bloody holes, bleeding profusely.
She had to admit that her captain was indeed no ordinary man. Even though he was so badly injured, he was still holding his breath and waiting for her rescue.
But she encountered another problem. The captain’s body medication was a challenge in itself, and now he was injured like this.
Haha, he’s dead as expected.
Xiao Jing took out a small knife and carefully cut open the wound on his body. He would spasm in pain almost every time he moved.
As soon as the knife touched his body, the blade began to melt.
Xiao Jing stared in astonishment, wondering how could she have forgotten that he had a special body.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed her hand and said in a trembling voice, “Use your hand.”
“…”
“Use your hands.” Shen Chengfeng emphasized again.
Xiao Jing closed her eyes and raised her hand.
“Bang.” The bullet fell to the ground, making a slight sound.
She hurriedly applied ointment to his wound, but the ointment began to melt as soon as it was applied. For a moment, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red. “Captain.”
Shen Chengfeng drowsily grabbed her hand, put it in his mouth, and then bit her finger without any hesitation.
Xiao Jing retracted her hand reflexively in pain and asked in surprise: “Captain, why did you bite me?”
Shen Chengfeng didn’t reply and just closed his eyes.
Xiao Jing looked at the blood beads oozing out of her fingers, wondering if the captain couldn’t stand the pain and was thinking of biting herself to relieve it?
She patted Shen Chengfeng who had fainted again, worrying about what to do next. If she just left him alone, he would either die of pain or die of excessive blood loss.
Xiao Jing tried to apply a little more ointment. The ointment was thinly applied on the wound, like a layer of protective film that instantly blocked the blood from the wound.
The air was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the beating of your heart clearly.
Although Xiao Jing was a little silly, she seemed to understand something now.
She raised her hand and looked at the blood on her fingers, then tried to shake a little powder onto another wound. The powder that had not been applied by her fingers was quickly corroded away, leaving no trace at all.
This……
Xiao Jing but her finger again, applied the medicine powder on the wound, and the bleeding stopped quickly. The thin layer of medicine had already exerted its maximum effect.
She might understand why the captain bit her!
As the sun rose, the whole abandoned house was filled with a chilly wind.
Xiao Jing was lying on the ground and was awakened by the cold. She scratched her head and found that the wig was deviating from the direction, so she pulled it back.
Although the sun was shining brightly, the air temperature was very low.
Xiao Jing gathered her clothes and looked down at the man sleeping next to her. His face was rosy and he looked indescribably cute.
Etc.
She quickly squatted down and covered his forehead, and sure enough, it was burning hot.
“Captain, captain?” Xiao Jing patted his face gently.
Shen Chengfeng opened his eyes, his eyes were red, and the high fever all over his body made him start to tremble uncontrollably.
Xiao Jing took off her coat and wrapped it around him, whispering, “Captain, I’ll go get you some medicine. You can get some more sleep.”
“Yeah.” The reply came out of his mouth.
Xiao Jing placed the pistol next to him and said, “Protect yourself. I’ll be back soon.”
Shen Chengfeng leaned against the wall, the figure in his eyes gradually moving away. He was in a daze, and everything in front of him was dark again.
Xiao Jing was walking on the street wearing a thin shirt. The whole street was the same as usual, as if the peace was not destroyed by the gunshots last night.
In front of the pharmacy, she bought common antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs. In order to avoid attracting attention, she did not buy hemostatics or painkillers.
“The house on the next street that had been abandoned for three months is finally being demolished.”
“That dangerous building? Yeah, I heard a few days ago that a wall collapsed and almost killed someone. It’s good that it’s being demolished.”
The two passed by Xiao Jing and communicated intermittently.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she dropped the cash, picked up the medicine box, and ran towards the place where the rumbling sound came from.
“Boom.” The mansion was hit by a huge iron ball, and the two-story villa collapsed instantly.
“Captain!” Xiao Jing pushed away the crowd that was blocking her and climbed up the dangerous building with her hands and feet. “Captain, please come out! You can’t die! You can’t die!”
The author has something to say:
The bullet that injured our Third Master was specially made. Don’t ask me why he was injured. The people who went with him to carry out the mission were the ones who studied him. Hahaha, do you understand? They were the ones who studied him.
