Shen Xi’s breathing stopped for a second. Gunshots had already sounded in her ears.
Just when Shen Xi thought that she was definitely going to die, she felt a tight
grip on her waist, and then her entire body was pulled into an embrace.
The two of them rolled on the ground and hid behind a low wall that barely blocked them.
The bullet that was originally aimed at Shen Xi brushed past Guan Lei’s arm.
Shen Xi looked at the person in front of her in shock. Then, she heard intermittent gunshots attacking the bandit army that had just shot her.
Through the collapsed wall, Guan Lei saw Meng Yu on top of a building not far away.
Shen Xi, on the other hand, grabbed Guan Lei’s injured arm with a worried expression. After seeing that it was a scratch, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Guan Lei, are you crazy? It’s so dangerous, why are you following me? Do you know that you almost died just now? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the hospital?”
Guan Lei’s face which was stained with yellow sand also carried a little fear and anger. If he had arrived a second later, Shen Xi might have been in trouble.
“What about you?” Guan Lei said worriedly, “You lied to everyone. You wanted to sacrifice yourself to lure the bandits away. Do you really think I’m stupid?
How can I not know what you’re thinking?”
“You almost died just now.” Guan Lei paused for a moment.
After saying this, Guan Lei’s eyes turned red.
Shen Xi choked on Guan Lei’s words. She was speechless and felt a little guilty.
Seeing Shen Xi’s expression, Guan Lei suppressed the strong emotions in his heart. He placed both hands on Shen Xi’s face and said, “l told you, I won’t disappear again. In the future, wherever you are, I will be there.”
Shen Xi turned her face away and pushed Guan Lei away uncomfortably. She wanted to persuade Guan Lei not to cling to the past anymore, but this was clearly not the time to talk about this.
Guan Lei put down the backpack on his back and quickly assembled a machine gun in front of Shen Xi.
Guan Lei admitted that he was not very experienced on the battlefield, but as a researcher of explosives, he had some knowledge of guns.
If his skills were not good, he could make up for it with the equipment.
As Shen Xi watched, Guan Lei began to attack the bandit army fiercely.
Looking at Guan Lei’s shooting skills, Shen Xi was stunned. She asked loudly, “Does your gun have a tracker?”
Guan Lei nodded and said loudly, “l secretly modified it just now. I installed a life detection locator in the gun. It has the same effect as a tracking missile. The recent new research project is also the reason why C Nation detained us at that time.’
Shen Xi suddenly realized that C Nation not only wanted to create political dirt, but they also wanted to snatch their technology. No wonder they would target these students.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. At that time, there was a famous Bomb God from the Weaponry Academy among those students.
To be able to let such an outstanding student go out for an exchange, it must not be a small exchange. It was a pity that C Nation had taken a narrow path in the end, but it was also reasonable. A country without strength had no initiative.
Even if C Nation had never thought of detaining these students, they had no choice but to do something that clearly did not benefit them due to the pressure from some big countries.
After Shen Xi and the others worked together to deal with the bandit army, Shen Xi’s fighter jet flew over the three of them.
After the three of them quickly boarded the plane, Shen Xi directly became Yu Mings assistant, shocking Yu Ming so much that all the pores on his entire body were expressing his nervous emotions.
“Don’t be so nervous. You’re sweating profusely.” Shen Xi smiled helplessly.
Yu Ming looked straight ahead and said, “Senior, being looked at by you like this, what’s the difference with the graduation exam? How can I not be nervous?”
“Am I that scary?” Shen Xi could not help but laugh.
Yu Ming could not help but think of those students’ complaints in his heart. In the end, he shook his head repeatedly against his will and said, “Not scary, not scary.”
When the group landed at the airport in Huaguo, they finally felt safe.
Meng Yu had planned to transfer at the airport to return to where the captain and the others were now, but seeing that Li Zhe had not woken up, he let Shen Xi bring him back to Huaguo.
He told himself that as long as Li Zhe woke up and he was sure that Li Zhe’s life was not in danger, he would leave.
However, Li Zhe did not wake up until the moment the medical team came to pick him up.
Such a lifeless Li Zhe made Meng Yu inexplicably flustered and afraid..
