Ji Zhan sank into the lake, and her vision was dim. The violent explosion above made the lake turbulent. A few falling rocks also hit the water. Ji Zhan sank deeper, and the falling rocks did not pose any threat to her.
Suddenly, the gurgling sound of water bubbles could be heard in his ears. Ji Zhan pulled out the dagger in his leggings and turned around to kill the monster behind him that wanted to sneak attack.
But something soon grabbed her ankle, and she couldn't use all her strength underwater.
At this time, Jing Sa swam over, sank to Ji Zhan's feet, and slashed off the monster wrapped around Ji Zhan's feet with his knife.
Ji Zhan's feet were free, and when he heard the explosion above had ended, he quickly gave a signal to Jing Sa.
Jing Sa nodded, and both of them emerged from the water.
Zhao Ziwei also floated up with Qi Huan, but Qi Huan had obviously passed out.
The sky above was covered with soot, the clock tower completely collapsed, and a few monsters climbed onto the ruins, looking up to the sky and roaring.
Ji Zhan came out of the water, pulled out a pistol with his left hand, held the dagger in his right hand, and rushed towards the mother monster with Jing Sa.
The parent monster fell in the ruins. It was affected by the explosion, its body was severely damaged, and it was in a state of regeneration.
Ji Zhan and Jing Sa's movements in killing monsters were smooth and smooth, without any hesitation, and they cooperated with each other in perfect harmony, as if they were dancing on the ruins.
While taking care of the unconscious Qi Huan, Zhao Ziwei used terminal communication to contact the retreating troops outside and asked them to come back for quick support.
Ji Zhan and Jing Sa were able to clear monsters as fast as a full team, and they quickly reached the mother monster.
The mother monster's bloated body lay on the ground unable to move at all, and was still in a regenerative state. It was very weak and could only stretch out its tentacles to deal with Ji Zhan and Jing Sa.
Ji Zhan just picked up a Type 95 assault rifle from the rubble, and its firepower was extremely fierce.
As soon as Ji Zhan fired, the flames flickered at the muzzle and the bullet casings fell to the ground.
The tentacles of the mother monster suddenly stretched out towards Ji Zhan. Jing Sa waved his knife in front of Ji Zhan and cut off all the tentacles.
Ji Zhan changed the magazine with one hand, and the mother monster's skin was torn open by such fierce firepower, revealing its crystal core.
The crystal core was impacted by the bullet and exploded.
The mobs that were bred from the mother monster on the ruins also fell, and the number of remaining monsters was not a big deal when the supporting troops arrived.
A fierce battle finally ended.
…
After the mother monster was eliminated, the troops in charge of this area also completed their mission and needed to return immediately. After helping to clear out a teaching building as a temporary place to stay, they left an off-road vehicle and a truck of supplies for Ji Zhan and the others.
, and then they left one after another.
In order to check the situation more easily, Zhao Ziwei decided to sleep on the roof of the building.
Qi Huan is still in a coma, but he is still sleeping due to mental exhaustion. Other than that, he has no serious injuries on his body.
Zhao Ziwei stayed in the tent to take care of Qi Huan while maintaining contact with the base.
Ji Zhan and Jing Sa stayed vigil outside. They took military rations and ate them with cold water.
Ji Zhan sat on the railing on the roof of the building, her long hair spread behind her flying in the wind. Jing Sa stood beside her, using the terminal to pull up a map to check the next route.
Ji Zhan shook his dangling legs and said, "Military dry food tastes terrible."
She hadn't felt this way before, but recently her appetite seemed to have been whetted by Jing Sa.
Jing Sa heard Ji Zhan's complaint and said with a smile: "Let's finish the task quickly, and when we get back, we'll cook hot pot together."
The wind blew up at night, bringing with it a hint of chill, and Ji Zhan realized that winter was coming soon.
"Winter is coming soon." Ji Zhan looked towards the direction of the wind.
Evolved people have stronger physical fitness and are more tolerant of cold and heat than ordinary people, so they often realize that winter is coming when the sky starts to snow.
"Do monsters move slower in winter?" Jing Sa asked.
Ji Zhan took a sip of water, thought for a while, and replied: "I'm not sure. I wouldn't take on any missions in winter last year."
Ji Zhan paused for a moment, and then continued: "Because the current winter is very difficult for humans, although the Fifth Security Base was originally a large power plant, in order to keep military equipment in sufficient condition at all times, no matter what resources
We must first focus on military supplies. The base’s heating in winter is only available in the inner base, not the outer base.”
"A temperature of minus 30 degrees will freeze to death." When Ji Zhan told this fact, his voice was very indifferent, but his heart was not calm. "I once had two students who froze to death in the winter.
."
Jing Sa looked at Ji Zhan and asked, "Then did you cry for them?"
Ji Zhan shook his head and said in a calm voice: "I can't describe my feelings at that time. Of course I would feel sad for them because they are my cherished students. But at that time I was more confused.
I wonder if I will die like this one day."
Seeing that Ji Zhan showed no fear or fear of death, Jing Sa felt as if his heart was blocked by something.
Jing Sa held Ji Zhan's hand and said, "Don't always make this assumption. You won't die. And didn't you say you want to live until the end of the world and see world peace?"
Ji Zhan raised a shallow smile, matching the tear marks at the corners of her eyes, and looked extremely gentle. She said, "I think so too, but in this era, who can say that they will live to tomorrow."
"One day at a time, I don't dare to think about what the future will be like." Ji Zhan raised his head slightly, the long hair beside his ears was rolled up by the wind, and there were not even a single star shining in the night sky above his head.
Go, it's all darkness.
"How about being with me in the future?" Jing Sa held Ji Zhan's hand and asked with a sudden smile.
Ji Zhan was slightly stunned, but without thinking too much, he said: "As long as I am alive, the two of us will always be together. You can't leave my side."
Only by keeping Jing Sa by his side can Ji Zhan feel at ease. Even though he knew that Jing Sa had the ability to die, Ji Zhan wanted to work hard to protect Jing Sa.
Seeing Ji Zhan's calm expression, Jing Sa smiled helplessly. He really should have asked more straightforwardly.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll guard you in the middle of the night. You can go and have some rest." At this time, Zhao Ziwei happened to come out of the tent, interrupting the atmosphere between Ji Zhan and Jing Sa.
Ji Zhan jumped down from the railing and asked, "Is Qi Huan okay?"
Zhao Ziwei replied: "It's nothing serious. I woke up in a daze just now. This time it's thanks to him. I really don't know for a moment whether his impulse is good or bad. If it were any other person, I would be so embarrassed."
Don’t go out and overdraw your powers like that.”
Ji Zhan glanced at Qi Huan's tent and said, "He is very good."
