“Jing!” Seeing Li Jing covered with blood, Xiao Hang rushed forward to check on her, not caring about the shells on the ground. “How are you, Captain Li?” he asked.
After killing the big man, Li Jing fell to one side and pointed painfully at her thigh.
“Ah?” Xiao Hang saw that Li Jing had a long cut along her thigh. She was bleeding badly and shivering because of the pain. Seeing this, Xiao Hang quickly untied his belt and tightened it around Li Jing’s thigh to stop her bleeding.
He then skillfully tore his clothes into strips and used the strips to bandage her wound.
“I’m Ok. just leave me alone.” Li Jing looked pale. “Xiao Hang, go to find Cui Lizhu. You must make sure that she is safe. Cui Lizhu must not be taken by them. You understand/ This… I can handle it,” she said.
Li Jing forcibly grabbed the cloth strips as she spoke. Because she had tugged so hard, she immediately coughed violently and spat up some blood.
“You are getting worse.” Xiao Hang was so anxious about Li Jing’s injury that he grabbed the cloth strips back from her and helped her finish bandaging her wound.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu used an Invisible Hemostat to help Li Jing stop bleeding. He then patted Xiao Hang on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, she’ll be fine. You stay here and take care of Captain Li. I have to go find Cui Lizhu. Be careful. There might still be someone hiding somewhere. You’d better get a gun first.”
After that, Zhao Yu picked up a submachine gun that had been laying on the ground.
“The cave is so large, how are you going to find her?” Li Jing asked anxiously.
“I can track her position. She’s got a localizer on her.” Zhao Yu glanced at the monitor screen in his brain and easily found his lost phone.
“No way.” Li Jing shook her head. “There is a protective screen in this area. I’m afraid her localizer won’t work.”
“I have to give it a shot no matter what.” Zhao Yu took his things, pointed to the shells on the ground, and said, “I think you should leave this area. These shells are filled with explosives. It’s dangerous. Take care of yourself, I’m leaving here now.”
“Zhao Yu…” Li Jing suddenly reached out and stopped him. She handed a dagger to Zhao Yu and said with a complicated expression, “I promised Miao Ying’s father I would protect you. You… Be careful.”
“Um… I got it. Don’t worry.” When Zhao Yu picked up the dagger, he seemed to realize something. It seemed as though his previous guess was right. Li Jing and Miao Kun definitely had a more complicated relationship than he had realized earlier.
Zhao Yu went through the gap where Cui Lizhu disappeared.
“Cui Lizhu… Cui Lizhu…” Zhao Yu murmured to himself, then clicked the navigation application on his phone. As he expected, the application failed to obtain Cui Lizhu’s location.
Zhao Yu then used a Signal Enhancer on his phone. This time, the application immediately showed where Cui Lizhu was.
The application showed him that Cui Lizhu was constantly moving. She was not too far from Zhao Yu’s current location. It was about only fifty meters.
Considering Cui Lizhu’s speed, Zhao Yu assumed that she was not in a safe place. She was constantly moving forward. It was obvious that she was not hiding from the enemy.
That was to say, she might have been caught by the enemy.
Zhao Yu wondered how many people there might be.
No matter how many people there were, Zhao Yu wouldn’t give up finding her. He went moved through a lot of military items and began to chase Cui Lizhu in the direction it showed her moving. At the same time, he used the detector in his brain to monitor his surroundings so as not to fall into the enemy’s trap again.
As he was focused on the detector while passing through the area, he suddenly spotted danger on the detector’s screen.
The detector showed that there was a bomb somewhere nearby.
Zhao Yu was very nervous.
I am right. I knew it would never be just this, Zhao Yu thought.
In fact, Zhao Yu had had an ominous feeling before he came to this area. He thought that there had to have been a reason why the enemy brought them to this secret base. Now, as the detector found the bomb, his ominous feeling was confirmed.
Zhao Yu knew that part of this cave must have been the Japanese military reserve warehouse. There must have been something there other than the shells. Now, he finally found a bomb.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu felt that he had to make a careful plan before he went to rescue Cui Lizhu. Otherwise, even if he found Cui Lizhu, he would probably be caught by the enemy. Then it would be too late for him to regret it.
Keeping that in mind, he immediately moved in the direction of the bomb. After a while, he came to a high wall. Looking up, he found that he was at the edge of the air-raid shelter.
He saw many boxes beside him, but they were slightly different than what he had seen in the cave earlier. The wooden boxes piled up in this place would have been moved there by someone. There were military uniforms, cotton clothes, and cotton boots in the boxes. Some of them were opened and the clothes were scattered around on the ground.
Soon, Zhao Yu found the target, confirmed by the detector. When he took a closer look, he could not help but gasp in horror.
He saw that there was a big hole in the wall that seemed to have been dug out by someone. There was a yellow bag the size of a computer case in the hole.
The detector told him that in the yellow bag was a bomb. It was packed with several pounds of high C4 explosives. And, the bomb was a time bomb.
Although the countdown display was hidden in the wall, Zhao Yu’s detector clearly showed that the bomb would explode in 16 minutes.
D*mn! After Zhao Yu finished cursing the enemy, there were only 15 minutes left.
Zhao Yu was scared. He only knew that no matter what the enemy’s purpose was, he would not let the bomb explode. Otherwise, the explosives were likely to detonate the shells scattered throughout the warehouse. If that happened, the whole air-raid shelter would collapse.
Boss, it’s the most crucial moment for me. I’m counting on you now, he thought to himself.
Zhao Yu immediately used an Invisible Bomb Disposal Device. If this device couldn’t dispose of the bomb, he would have to upgrade it. However, he didn’t have many points left.
Luckily, the system was kind to Zhao Yu this time. As soon as he used the device, the red alarm on the detector’s display disappeared immediately.
F*cking great, he thought.
Zhao Yu exhaled heavily. Then, he ran in the direction of Cui Lizhu.
To his surprise, after running for 30 meters, another bomb alarm appeared on the detector’s display.
Zhao Yu quickly stopped to check it and found that this bomb was also a timed bomb, and was about to explode in 14 minutes.
God! What are you doing to me?
Zhao Yu looked around the enemy’s huge base.
He only made it 30 meters and there was another bomb. How many bombs do they have here?
If they all explode, it will blow up the mountain and kill all of us.
They are crazy! What exactly do they want to do? he wondered.
