Xiao Jing threw down the spear in her hand and used her bare hands to push aside the shattered wall. She desperately tried to dig out the buried person.
Fiery light engulfed the entire factory. She could feel the Fire Dragon smiling complacently as it tried to devour her. At the same time, she stubbornly continued to dig at the pile of broken stones.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Chengfeng panted as he stood up from the pile of rocks. He frowned as he looked at the injured Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing blinked her eyes. She looked at the man with his usual limp face in her line of sight. Her eyes turned sour and she started crying.
Shen Chengfeng walked down from the stone and grabbed him from the ground. He glanced at the gun that was thrown aside and said, "I said that a soldier"s weapon must be held tightly in his hand even if he dies."
Xiao Jing pursed her lips, picked up the sniper rifle and took a deep breath, "I thought you were killed."
"This is only a simple grade S mission, and it won"t do me any harm."
Shen Chengfeng did not mind as he turned around. It was obvious that he was ignoring his sorry state and that his right hand was still dripping blood.
Xiao Jing followed closely behind him, cautiously asking, "I clearly saw a pile of stones fall on your body, how did you dodge it?"
"When you grow to my position one day, you will be able to antic.i.p.ate any unknown dangers in advance. This is experience, and now that you are with me, it will be a burden."
Xiao Jing stopped and thought for a moment, feeling that he was very reasonable.
Shen Chengfeng noticed that the person behind him had stopped moving and turned around to look at him.
Xiao Jing stood up straight and saluted. She said with a sonorous voice, "Then I will retreat first. Captain, you can do it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jing rushed out of the factory without even turning her head. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Shen Chengfeng looked at the disappearing figure and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Jing looked high up, attentively observing her surroundings to ensure that her own captain was able to escape safely after rescuing Jiang s.h.i.+.
"The boss said to detonate the bomb in the detention room immediately."
"Yes."
Xiao Jing"s ears gently twitched as she attentively listened to the gradually disappearing voice. She leapt down from the high ground and carefully followed behind the two of them.
The two men were 1.9 meters tall, each of them carrying an AK. Their expressions were solemn as they moved through the flame.
"Someone"s here."
One of them noticed the change and cautiously looked around with the gun in his hand.
"Bang!"
The bullet flew through the air from the muzzle, pa.s.sing through the raging flames as if it was coated with a fiery red outer garment. Finally, it landed on the chest area of one of the men.
Seeing this, the other person hurriedly started to shoot.
Xiao Jing swept the gun b.u.t.t of the ambush from his right back, hitting the man"s head directly.
The man"s body swayed twice before he lost his gravity and fell to the ground.
Xiao Jing raised the gun to his head and asked expressionlessly, "Where is the control room?"
The man was prepared to fight back, but when he moved, the muzzle of the gun drew closer.
Xiao Jing didn"t have much time to deal with him, so she pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
The bullet flew out of the gun and through the man"s skull.
Xiao Jing looked around her surroundings and the sounds of explosions rang out one after another. She cautiously looked in the direction Shen Chengfeng was heading towards. Clenching her teeth, she ran over like a shooting star.
The pitch black dungeon didn"t seem to be burned by the raging flames outside. An increasingly dense cold air swept over.
Xiao Jing walked very carefully. When she heard the intermittent sounds of iron chains ahead of her, she was overjoyed and quickly walked forward.
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves and his fingers had just touched the chain. The chain that was made of fine iron broke into two without any effort.
Jiang Temple and another man were unconscious on the ground, surrounded by the sound of instruments ticking.
Shen Chengfeng half-knelt down and his expression turned cold as he looked at the time bomb tied to the two men.
"Don"t come over."
He heard footsteps behind him and looked back at him with a deep gaze.
Xiao Jing stopped and lowered her eyes. The number of the time bomb showed that it was 0: 05.
Shen Chengfeng put on his gloves and studied the structure of the bomb carefully.
Xiao Jing whispered, "Captain, can you take it apart?"
Shen Chengfeng did not give him an answer, but in his silence, his eyes became sharper and sharper, "This is a gravity bomb. Do you see that steel ball? If it loses its balance, the bomb will explode immediately."
"So as soon as they wake up, or we move them, the bomb will explode here?"
Xiao Jing squatted to the side with a worried expression. "Then what should we do next?"
Shen Chengfeng took off his gloves and pointed to the three wires connecting the bombs and asked, "What color do you like?"
Was she asking him to pick up a pair of scissors?
"There are three lines here. If you have the right cut, you can stop for three minutes, but once the bead loses its balance, it will immediately explode. If you cut the wrong one, the timer will immediately turn to zero and the bomb will explode."
"So, regardless of whether I cut it or not, it"ll explode?"
Shen Chengfeng nodded.
Then why do you keep asking me what colors I like?
Shen Chengfeng"s fingertips gently touched the gla.s.s tube and he said, "In future, when faced with this situation, you only have one choice. Run."
"Hostages?"
"You can choose to die with them."
Shen Chengfeng placed both his hands on the table. Under his touch, the originally joyful numbers gradually turned into a puddle of water, including the exquisite balance apparatus.
Xiao Jing"s brows slightly twitched. "Of course I don"t have the ability to corrode bombs like you."
"Wake him up."
Shen Chengfeng wiped his hands and put on his gloves again.
Xiao Jing squatted in front of Jiang s.h.i.+, patting his face, and said, "Major Jiang, Major Jiang."
Jiang s.h.i.+ felt his head grow a little dizzy, and his vision was very blurry. When his vision cleared, he did not expect that the person who had appeared in front of him was the person he had looked down upon the most.
Xiao Jing asked, "Can you walk on your own?"
Jiang s.h.i.+"s mind was somewhat muddled. He sat up and looked at the unconscious Professor Zhao Yi. He frowned and said, "You are the one who came to save us?"
"Now is not the time to talk. Get up and go."
Xiao Jing supported him.
Jiang s.h.i.+"s body felt weak, and his head was dizzy. He forcefully slapped himself twice, waking up for a moment.
"Bang!"
The explosion set off a whirlpool of fire that engulfed the factory.
After escaping from the factory, which was shrouded in raging flames, Jiang Temple"s legs went soft and he fell to the ground. He was gasping for breath while supporting himself with his hands on the gra.s.s.
Xiao Jing"s taut nerves gradually relaxed. She, too, sat on the ground, her mouth dry as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The Temple of Jiang looked at him, and for a moment, it was in his throat.
"Don"t try to be conceited in the future. It"s your big luck to be able to return alive this time."
Xiao Jing didn"t want to be outdone, so she looked into his eyes.
Jiang Temple frowned. When he first met this face, he was filled with disdain. Unexpectedly, in merely a few months, he was able to enter the tiger cave and retreat in one piece.
"Captain, how do we get out of here without a car?"
Xiao Jing raised her head to look at Shen Chengfeng, who was observing the situation.
Shen Chengfeng put down his binoculars and replied, "With the commotion just now, there must be a lot of people waiting for an opportunity. We can"t rush out and take a break. We"ll talk about it when the sun rises."
"Do you think the group will come back?"
Xiao Jing asked again.
Shen Chengfeng turned around and looked down at the little soldier who asked this question.
Xiao Jing embarra.s.sedly smiled. She could see the reply from her own captain"s eyes: "Brain is a very important thing."
Under these circ.u.mstances, how could that group of people still turn back? They were surrounded by bandits that would rush over at any time, suffering heavy casualties. They would definitely spend the night searching for the next base, only to come back after recuperating.
Hehe, city people are smart.
The moon was high in the sky when the gentle sound of a groundhog digging into the soil could be heard.
Shen Chengfeng was sitting alone on a hill with his back facing the moon. His face looked unreal.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Xiao Jing sat beside him.
Shen Chengfeng squinted at the figure that came without invitation and did not open his mouth to break the silence.
"Captain, have you recovered?"
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but look towards his injured right hand. The light was dim, and he was wearing dark clothes. If it wasn"t for the faint scent of blood in the air, she would have ignored the invisible wound.
Shen Chengfeng did not mind, "A small injury."
Xiao Jing didn"t expose the concealment in his words. Under these circ.u.mstances, if she didn"t have a special medicine, she knew that even if her arm was pierced by a huge hole, she wouldn"t be able to heal it.
"Aren"t you going to rest?"
Shen Chengfeng looked at the two who had fallen asleep.
"I"m a little excited, so I can"t sleep."
Xiao Jing rested her head on her hands, her eyes fixated on the fire that was gradually extinguis.h.i.+ng not too far away.
Shen Chengfeng looked at him and the moonlight gently fell on his slightly dusty face. There seemed to be a few drops of soil between his eyebrows.
Xiao Jing suddenly straightened her back, looking at a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her. She stiffly twisted her neck, just in time to see her own team leader reach out to brush away the dust on her face.
He was wearing no gloves and touched her skin from a distance of zero meters. He felt as if a feather had brushed past a pond of water, causing ripples that could not be calmed for a long time.
"Captain."
Xiao Jing subconsciously called out softly.
"Yes."
Shen Chengfeng replied naturally.
"Captain, I never thought that I would have such an amazing day. I never thought that there would be such an exciting day, with gunshots ringing in my ears, bullets speeding towards me, and a raging fire ignited by showers of showers. I feel that after this day, I will have my moment of glory."
"Should I praise you?
"Huh?"
Shen Chengfeng raised his chin and their eyes met.
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but blush and blurt out, "I think you should praise me."
"Great little soldier."
Shen Chengfeng gently patted his head.
The night wind blew, gently blowing the gra.s.s.
Xiao Jing blinked her eyes. The outline of his face gradually became clearer. She didn"t know why, but her heart had suddenly lost its normal rate. It repeatedly crashed against the wall of her heart, as if a little deer had silently crawled into it.
She hurriedly s.h.i.+fted her gaze away and looked at the stars in the sky with a guilty conscience.
Jiang Temple closed his eyes quietly and used both of his hands to tightly pull the dirt beneath him.
Why am I still unwilling to accept this?
He, Xiao Jing, had indeed given him a whole new level of respect.
The amazing Xiao Jing!
The morning sun broke through the cracks of dawn. The huge fire that had been burning all night was slowly extinguished, leaving behind only thick smoke that filled the sky.
Xiao Jing rearranged her weapon and followed closely behind her own captain.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the small figure behind him and said in all seriousness, "Have you packed up your things?"
Xiao Jing spread out her hands and silently cursed in her heart: Captain, are you blind?
What"s there to do with two guns?
Or do you think we stole a hundred and eighty thousand in cash last night?
Shen Chengfeng stopped in his tracks and looked at the road leading into the city. Due to the explosion last night, there was a temporary checkpoint at the intersection. Everyone in the city seemed to be checking something out.
Although the residents of the underworld mostly owned firearms and equipment, very few of them would show off their guns in broad daylight.
"You guys, come over here."
When the soldier noticed the four of them, he put down the recorder in his hand and called out to them.
The two officers circled around the four of them twice. Originally, they planned to s.n.a.t.c.h the gun from Xiao Jing"s hands as fast as lightning, but the moment they came into contact with the spear shaft, their palms slipped and their prey ran away.
Xiao Jing held her spear and faced the officer who dared to take her things rashly. With a meticulous expression, she asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I asked you what you wanted to do."
The officer called a group of people over with a stern expression.
The four of them were successfully surrounded.
"Look at the direction you came from. You were the ones who did what you did last night, right?"
A person walked out from the back of the crowd with an unruly and haughty smile on his face.
Shen Chengfeng took a glance at the other party"s military uniform from top to bottom. This should be the captain of the garrison in the hidden city.
The man was disdainful of being looked down upon. He said indifferently, "According to the rules, I"m sorry. I need the four of you to cooperate in the investigation. Please follow me."
"I think you need to get in touch with Colonel Sun Qi, your superior."
Shen Chengfeng said.
The man paused for a moment before carefully observing this arrogant fellow. The recent restlessness in the hidden market might attract the attention of the higher-ups. Who knew if these people were the leaders who secretly took on the mission.
For safety"s sake, he immediately dialed Sun Qi"s number.
"Yes, yes, I will send a private car to take them there. Yes, yes, I will do my best to protect them. Yes, yes, sir."
The man saluted.
The man put down his phone and laughed out loud. He then walked forward with a face full of praise. He straightened his body and said, "Sir, I will send someone to send you to the headquarters. Please follow me."
On the plane to the return flight, Xiao Jing slept a full beauty sleep. Although it was a bit late, but overall, she slept very well.
When she opened her eyes, she felt a powerful aura of resentment. She instinctively looked to her right, and sure enough, Jiang s.h.i.+ was staring at her beauty with his dead fish eyes.
Seeing him suddenly sober up, Jiang s.h.i.+ hurriedly withdrew his bright eyes to fight back.
Xiao Jing wasn"t sure what this unbalanced child was suffering from, so she lightly poked the captain"s arm and whispered, "Does Major Jiang have something to say to me?"
Shen Chengfeng stared expressionlessly at the figure that was asking him questions. He did not open his mouth for a while.
Xiao Jing didn"t get a reply and looked at her own captain with a confused expression. From his eyes, she could see that he was filled with resentment, as if he was a wife who had been tortured to death. His eyes were filled with grievance, unwillingness, and humiliation.
The atmosphere in the cabin was rather awkward.
Shen Chengfeng rubbed his sore arms silently. After being suppressed for three hours, he was not sure why he did not push away this little head that dared to trespa.s.s his ident.i.ty.
Xiao Jing once again lowered her voice and asked, "Captain, do you also have something that you want to tell me?"
"When I get back, I"ll write a 2,000-word self-review."
The man"s deep voice was like a sudden clap of thunder.
Xiao Jing reflexively stood up and said, "Captain, I didn"t do anything wrong."
Shen Chengfeng raised his other hand and pointed at his shoulder.
Xiao Jing looked around and saw a puddle of water. "What is this?" she asked.
"Your saliva."
He replied with four simple words.
Xiao Jing touched her mouth. At that moment, she almost blurted out why my saliva was on you. What did you do to me when I was sleeping?
But then he thought, could it be that I fell asleep and couldn"t control my body, so I did something stupid to the team leader?
Shen Chengfeng turned to look outside and said, "3000 words, review."
Xiao Jing pursed her lips and sat back in her seat, feeling wronged. She gently hooked the corner of Shen Chengfeng"s clothes and said, "Captain, can I do three hundred push-ups?"
"Four thousand word review."
"I"ll write it. I"ll write it when I get back."
Xiao Jing"s mouth opened and closed, and without any surprise, she was once again angered into being like a puffer.
How infuriating. Their team captain kept on asking him to write a self-criticism, but what should he do?
She had to smile at him.
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the figure with his mouth curled up as he continuously plucked his hair. He silently pushed his laptop in front of him.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Xiao Jing cast a sidelong glance, but in the next moment, she suddenly enlarged. She didn"t care that her actions weren"t considered covert, but her body still uncontrollably held onto the computer.
"Captain, captain, this is mine?"
Xiao Jing happily blurted out.
"Pah!"
Shen Chengfeng did not make a sound as he turned off the computer. His face was calm as he said, "This is a confidential doc.u.ment. With your ident.i.ty, you cannot remember the words on it."
