Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 The Beginning of Eden 01302 Temperature Almost at the same time that Zhang Ling fell to the ground after being shot, Yin Xiaotong also fired back.
The other party probably didn't expect that these ordinary people wearing cold-proof clothing for working at the base would react so quickly... so they were shot three times by Yin Xiaotong.
After the enemy was knocked down, Yin Xiaotong immediately rushed over to check Zhang Ling's wounds.
The gunshot wound was on his neck. The bullet passed through the back of his neck. Although it did not penetrate his throat, it caused heavy bleeding.
Zhang Qi was trying to help him stop the bleeding. Yin Xiaotong took one look and immediately said to Yaren, "Help! Quick! Carry him to the first aid station in front!"
Only then did Masato, whose face was still stained with blood, come to his senses.
The three of them worked together to lift Zhang Ling and run forward. Along the way, Zhang Qi kept saying, "Hold on! Brother! Hold on!"
Zhang Ling's eyes were wide open, his mouth was also open, his face was pale, and there was only air coming in, but no air coming out.
The first aid station is located in the center of each floor, next to the comprehensive information desk.
When Yin Xiaotong shot through the door lock, the entire floor suddenly fell into darkness again.
Fortunately, this time the backup lights came on, and the three of them could barely see the road clearly.
Putting Zhang Ling on the bed, Zhang Qi continued to hold his wounds, while Yin Xiaotong began to look for available medical equipment and drugs.
Although Masato was just holding Zhang Ling's arm, his hands were covered in blood at this time.
When Yin Xiaotong made the room rattle, Zhang Ling hissed, "Am I... going to die?"
Zhang Ling was scolded again. He smiled miserably and said, "You can scold me whatever you want... I'm cold and sleepy now... I'm going to take a nap..."
Zhang Ling closed his eyes as he spoke.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qi immediately patted her brother's face and yelled at him, "Don't sleep! Open your eyes! Open them!"
Zhang Ling no longer responded...
Yaren on the side was stunned. She walked over and took Zhang Ling's hand, but she couldn't feel the slightest warmth, and there was no pulse at her wrist...
Zhang Ling is dead...
In just a few minutes, Zhang Ling became a cold corpse with no warmth at all.
Zhang Qi could not accept this fact. He untied Zhang Ling's clothes and continued to perform cardiac resuscitation and artificial respiration on him.
But after trying several times with no response from Zhang Ling, Zhang Qi hugged Zhang Ling's head, pressed against his forehead, and finally cried...
The smile on Yin Xiaotong's face, who had found the hemostats and gauze, was frozen when she saw this scene.
She slowly lowered her hands and the things fell to the ground.
Masato turned his head, tears fell down, and he felt as if his heart had been pulled by someone... The pain was unbearable...
Life is full of constant farewells. Unfortunately, many times we fail to say goodbye properly... Masato can no longer remember where he read this sentence.
But as these words became clearer and clearer, her vision became increasingly blurry.
"Stop crying, we have to go." Yin Xiaotong said.
It is said that brothers are connected, let alone twin brothers... Zhang Qi has been quarreling with Zhang Ling since she was a child. The main reason is that Zhang Ling always thinks that he is the elder brother, and Zhang Qi deceived him, or that his parents made a mistake.
.
But now, he won't fight anymore.
Zhang Qi held her brother's face with tears in her eyes. He never thought that one day he would be separated from his brother in this way.
He seemed to be asleep as he said... there was not much pain on his face, and he seemed to be walking peacefully.
"I said stop crying!!!" Yin Xiaotong regained her rationality. She knew that her group was in danger, and if they continued to delay here, there would definitely be more sacrifices, so she walked over and grabbed Zhang Qi.
The collar scolded, "Stop crying! You are acting like a bitch! If you want to cry, I will give you time to cry later! Now wake up!"
After being scolded by this, Zhang Qi finally relaxed a little.
Without saying a word, he slowly grabbed Yin Xiaotong's hand and said, "Let go."
Yin Xiaotong frowned and said, "What?"
"I want to stay with my brother."
Yin Xiaotong did not let go when she heard this, but she tightened her grip.
With her height of 1.65 meters, she pulled the collar of a boy who was 1.8 meters tall, but she didn't lose the momentum at all.
"Stay here to be buried? You don't want revenge?" Yin Xiaotong asked coldly.
Hearing "revenge", Zhang Qi's eyes finally glowed, and he murmured to himself "Revenge..."
"Yes, revenge." Yin Xiaotong let go of his hand, then picked up the gun on the bed and gave it to Zhang Qi, "Take it, let's go get revenge."
Seeing this scene, Masato's brows jumped sharply. She wanted to stop them, but found that she might not have the ability at all and had no reason to stop them.
Zhang Qi picked up the gun, loaded it skillfully, and then sniffed, "Okay, let's go get revenge."
Yin Xiaotong showed a cruel smile. She turned to look at Yaren and said, "Following us may be dangerous, so... you'd better find a cupboard to hide. If we can survive, we will definitely light up the base again. When the time comes,
...See you again."
Yaren was shocked when she heard this and looked at the two familiar yet unfamiliar colleagues in front of her.
Although they didn’t know each other well, Yaren never expected that Zhang Qi and Yin Xiaotong would be so proficient in using weapons... This fully confirmed Yaren’s vigilance, but that was no longer important. There were only two choices before her now.
.
One is to keep up with them...the other is to choose to wait alone.
And these two choices may actually lead to the same ending...
"I……"
"You should stay. I think Natsume and the others have already contacted the outside world. As long as you hide, there is a great chance of being rescued. You don't have to follow us to take risks." Zhang Qi, who no longer shed tears, had a different temperament and demeanor.
A lot has changed.
Masato looked at him blankly, and then suddenly said, "Then...then can you not go?"
After hearing this, Zhang Qi and Yin Xiaotong looked at each other and replied decisively, "No."
"Why?" Masato didn't understand. "Reinforcements will arrive soon! Why do you want to take risks?"
Zhang Qi smiled and said, "Because if the cat comes, the mouse will hide. By then...who will we seek revenge from?"
As Zhang Qi spoke to Yin Xiaotong, they turned around and walked out.
Masato understands...
She understood what Zhang Qi meant...but she had a bad feeling in her heart...They might not be able to come back...
…
"What?! Base No. 7 has been invaded?" Colonel Chu Qianjun, the commander-in-chief of the Bohai Bay garrison, was shocked when he received the news. "When did it happen?"
"We received the alarm ten minutes ago, but judging from the recorded information, base 7 had heating and other problems due to a power failure thirteen hours ago, and the intruders took advantage of this gap to enter the base."
The adjutant who came to report had a serious face.
"Have you figured out how many people there are?"
"Twenty-nine suspicious targets were initially identified, but a few minutes ago, our reconnaissance team discovered through the base's remote monitoring that three of them had been killed, and another one of our staff members had been killed."
Hearing that his own personnel had suffered losses, Chu Qianjun changed his expression, "Where is the support from the garrison now?"
"We've already set off. We estimate we'll arrive at Base 7 in twenty minutes."
"Be quick! Be ruthless! Don't let even an intruder go!"
The adjutant was shocked when he heard this and immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"yes!"
…
"What are they looking for?" Hanako, who was hiding in the ventilation duct with Natsume, looked at those "Warriors of the Country" who were hunting for treasures with a confused expression.
Natsume shook his head, "I don't know, but it doesn't look like he's here for food."
"Huh? It's really weird. They invaded the granary but didn't look for food? These guys are really confusing."
Natsume also couldn't figure out why these "warriors of the country" suddenly invaded Base 7.
It stands to reason that in the face of such a disaster, everyone is in danger, and if they take the risk of invading the official base, it is mostly to find available resources.
But these guys are wandering around the base like headless flies.
Even the "arms safe room", "medical supplies storage room" and "granary" that Natsume considered to be the location of the treasure house were ignored by them.
Now that I see them wandering around the breeding tank, it feels like they are watching a group of tourists visiting the underwater world with the help of a surveillance system.
"No matter what they are looking for, it will definitely not be good for us. We should not be too curious." Natsume said as he turned off the crystal plate in his hand.
When Hanako saw this, he said, "Hey, hey, don't worry, look over there, what are those three people doing?"
Natsume frowned and watched Hanako zoom in on a set of surveillance cameras, and then discovered three heavily armed "Warriors of the Country" trying to break open a door labeled "Danger".
That place is a bit unfamiliar to both Natsume and Hanako.
"What...what is this place?" Hanako asked.
Natsume immediately checked the labels of this set of surveillance cameras, only to find that the label remark information was encrypted, with only a string of codes displayed at the beginning.
"00a5b? What is this?" Hanako read the code but still had no impression at all.
Natsume was also puzzled. Could it be that the base where they had been staying for several months was actually not as pure and simple as they knew?
Just as I was thinking about it, the picture under the camera trembled, and after the silent explosion ended, the door was opened.
The three guys put on gas masks and used a special machine to clean up the smoke and dust while walking toward the door.
Natsume wanted to know what was inside the door, so he started trying to find the surveillance footage inside the door.
However, just like those encrypted notes, although Natsume found the surveillance footage that had been hidden before, he did not have permission to access it.
Moreover, the encryption level of these hidden lenses is very high, and it cannot be done by Natsume with just a finger.
Hanako saw Natsume's helplessness and said, "Forget it... No matter what they come for, we can't stop them now, so don't be too curious."
Natsume said this to Hanako a few minutes ago, and now Hanako returned it to Natsume exactly as it was.
Natsume couldn't help but smile bitterly, but what Hanako said was also true.
So what if he is curious, he is not a one-on-ten hero and does not have the ability to stop it.
But it’s still okay to take a look.
A few minutes after the three "Warriors of the Country" entered the mysterious area, another group of "Warriors of the Country" arrived nearby.
This time, Natsume and Hanako saw a man whose dress and appearance were obviously different from that of a "miscellaneous fish".
He has red hair and wears a white suit. He looks like a character from a comic book.
Although his front face cannot be seen clearly due to the angle of the camera, his profile is still unforgettable.
Although Hanako spends all day with handsome guys like Natsume, Natsume is the sunny and warm type. Now seeing a cold type, Hanako will inevitably become infatuated.
However, it only took a few seconds for Hanako to suddenly realize that it was these guys who killed the supervisor and the others. Suddenly, her good feelings were gone, leaving only anger and hatred.
After the man in a suit appeared, he directed his men to bring in a jar that was more than one meter high and half a meter in diameter.
Then several people just waited at the door.
Ten minutes passed as if the scene was frozen, and the three people finally came out of the mysterious area.
One of them was holding a metal can about the size of a fire extinguisher.
The other two people looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what happened inside.
After seeing the metal can, the man in the suit asked his men to open the big can before and then carefully put the thing in.
Seeing this, Hanako couldn't help but worry, "They... what they took away wasn't some kind of biological weapon, right?"
Natsume frowned. His first impression was similar to Hanako's, but judging from the protection levels of the man in the suit and others, it shouldn't be the case, but what exactly is it?
Just when Natsume and Hanako thought they had succeeded and were about to call it a day, the man in the suit walked into the mysterious area again.
This time, the time he spent in the mysterious area was much shorter than the previous three.
He came out with nothing in his hands.
But after he came out, he suddenly raised his hand and shot, killing one of the three people who had entered the mysterious area.
Everyone was shocked, including Natsume and Hanako.
Hanako even exclaimed, "What a pervert! Why does this guy even kill his own people?"
Natsume was also frightened for a while.
After killing one person, the man in the suit left. The remaining men threw the body into the mysterious area and then left carrying the big jar.
Seeing this, Natsume and Hanako looked at each other. They both understood each other's thoughts, but neither of them said it out loud.
After putting away the crystal plate, Natsume looked at the time and said, "They should be here, we have to hurry up."
Hanako was now scared and a little excited. She asked, "Are we really going to do this?"
Natsume didn't say anything. He opened the vent under him, stuck his head out and checked the surrounding environment. After making sure that no one was there, he jumped in first.
Hanako also jumped down.
"Let's go." Natsume answered Hanako's question with practical actions.
The two of them immediately set off towards the underground of the base.
They were careful along the way, for fear of encountering "the warriors of the country".
But after just a few floors down, a series of fierce firefights were heard.
Gunshots... explosions...
Base 7 turned into a battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Natsume and Hanako did not stop because of this, but they ran faster.
…
Two hours later.
The base's power system is restored again.
When Masato who was hiding in the rescue station heard the sound of the door opening, she covered her mouth in fear and closed her eyes.
until……
"Masato? Masato where are you?!"
It's Hanako's voice.
Masato was immediately overjoyed and stood up in a hurry, but stopped when he was about to open the door.
She carefully looked outside, and after confirming that it was Hanako and Natsume, she ran over crying and threw herself into Hanako's arms.
Hanako finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Natsume looked at the blood on the ground and let out a sigh of relief. However, when he followed the blood stains and found Zhang Ling's body, his relaxed expression became heavy again.
"How's it going? How's it going?! Have you found Masato?" came another anxious voice.
Masato Shimizu's cousin ran over following the sound.
Mino Sakurai, who serves in the garrison, rushed over immediately after hearing what happened at Base No. 7.
Now seeing Masato unharmed, Mino finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew! It's okay, it's okay! Fortunately, you're okay!" Mino breathed a sigh of relief, and then noticed the blood in the room and Zhang Ling's body on the bed.
"Who is he?" Mino asked.
Masato was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked, "By the way! Where is Zhang Qi?! And Sister Xiaotong? Where are they?"
Hanako was stunned, "Hey? Aren't they here? We thought you four were always together?"
Natsume heard the clues and asked, "Masato, have you... met any of the 'heroes of the country'?"
Masato didn't say anything. Her eyes were blank and her expression was dull, as if she had lost her soul.
Could it be...could it be that Zhang Qi and the others...
When he thought of the worst outcome, Masato burst into tears.
Mino was frightened, "Hey?! This... was fine just now... Ouch, don't cry, don't cry, Masato, everything is over! The bad guys have been beaten away! It's okay, it's okay!"
But Yaren couldn't stop crying.
Hanako and Natsume glanced at each other quietly, neither of them spoke, they just kept their secrets deep in their hearts.
…
The day after the attack on Base 7.
Members of the garrison found the dying Zhang Qi and Yin Xiaotong on the ice 350 kilometers southeast of the base.
A few dozen meters away from where they went lay the body of a woman in black...
So far, except for the man in suit and the three "warriors of the country," all the other "uninvited guests" who invaded the base that night have been killed.
But at the same time, the base also lost seven people.
The work of Natsume, Hanako and others was also ended early...
On the way from the base to the No. 1 underground shelter in Xiongan, Hanako stayed by Masato's side.
This girl was greatly stimulated by that incident...and she seldom speaks until now...
Mino originally planned to come over to take care of Masato, but she still had a mission and had left a few days ago.
But before leaving, she asked her best friend to take care of her sister.
This close friend's surname is Su, and he is a psychiatrist in Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan District.
Now Hanako can only hope that Dr. Su can "rejuvenate" and cure Masato as soon as possible.
