Chapter 13

  Doctor, how is he? Su Yuesong asked.

  It shouldn't be life-threatening, most of the shrapnel from this bomb was blocked by the wall and it was close range, the speed generated by the explosion hadn't fully unfolded, didn't exert its maximum lethality, and there was a bulletproof vest blocking the fatal attack. His body is very strong, the problem isn't that big, but whether or not he will leave behind any aftereffects is hard to say.

  Gasp……Dr. Guo suddenly inhaled a mouthful of air, and Su Yue Song immediately walked up to him, Shao Hui's upper body was completely **, his abdominal muscles were shriveled and exposed, Dr. Guo stared at Su Yue Song in shock, not knowing what to say.

  "This is a gunshot wound, this child is not simple." Su Yue said calmly.

  Mr. Guo nodded and became even more cautious in his movements.

  A red cigarette box was thrown on the snow-white ground, which was particularly eye-catching. In the empty corridor, eleven white snowballs were piled up, one of which had a bright red spot that flashed strangely, becoming the only point of light in this snowy chaos.

  "Hey, just take two puffs, it's my turn now!"

  The snowball moved slightly, and the red dot slowly moved onto another nearby snow pile, continuing to flash on and off.

  When are we going to withdraw? Wu Yan spat out a mouthful of cigarette butts and felt warmer.

  Wait a little longer, have absolute patience than the enemy. Zhao Zhenghao replied.

  Shh... Wang Jianbin, who was closest to the stairs, suddenly made everyone stop talking. What's that sound?

  Suddenly the sparrows fell silent, but apart from the sound of the wind, there was a faint rustling noise.

  Damn it! That's the sound of the gate! Left Ming roared loudly.

  Ten snowballs burst open at the same time, and the team members quickly stood up to look down, still a dense black mass. The air force is on high alert above, and the rest follow me down! Left Ming was so anxious that he even omitted his name and directly shouted out the troops.

  The team members tacitly formed a triangular formation and rushed down the stairs, quickly switching to a fan-shaped defensive formation as they reached the ground. As they approached the doorway, Zuo Ming knelt down with his left knee, aiming his gun at the entrance in a shooting stance. He stretched out his left hand's index and middle fingers, bending them forward twice. Behind him, Liu Junhao and Li Jinping took small steps to reach the edge of the doorway, preparing to investigate the situation inside. The teammates followed Zuo Ming, also kneeling down and vigilantly scanning their surroundings like a row of statues.

  Liu Junhao approached the entrance and examined it carefully for a moment, discovering a string of footprints leading outwards. He quickly removed his helmet and pressed himself to the ground, looking inside the entrance. There was no wind or snow inside, just an inky blackness. After observing for a moment, he confirmed that there was no one inside and gave a hand signal indicating safety.

  Left Ming received the signal and stood up, leading the team to run into the entrance and occupy the best shooting position. It was extremely dark here, and hand signals were useless. Left Ming pressed his earpiece and whispered: "Everyone be on high alert, I'll go take a look at the situation." After finishing speaking, he took small steps to run to the back of the door and then crawled out again.

  The remaining team members wiped away sweat from their palms. This door was now a gate of life and death, and no one knew how many things that could put people in danger were hidden in the darkness outside, or perhaps they might encounter Death itself taking a stroll outside.

  Wang Jianbin glanced at his watch, a minute had passed, and this minute felt very long. He picked up the radio to inquire about the situation outside, and the answer was that there was nothing unusual. To be on the safe side, Zuo Ming prepared to return immediately and close the big gate tightly. He let out a sigh of relief, it seemed like it was going to be an uneventful night. At this moment, a figure appeared at the door, Wang Jianbin thought: Finally back. Just as he was about to run over to close the big gate, he was suddenly pinned to the ground by someone. Don't move! This person is not right!

  Wang Jianbin only then noticed that the figure didn't resemble Zuo Ming, and the round object on his shoulder looked exactly like a rocket launcher. He quickly steadied his rifle and took aim at the figure, with the trigger already pulled two-thirds of the way down. The team members had all dispersed and hidden in the darkness, holding their breaths and waiting patiently, hoping to catch them off guard. Sure enough, another person flashed into view at the entrance, this one cautiously following behind. They may not have known that many gun barrels were now trained on them. The first person was walking slowly, completely unaware of having just brushed shoulders with Wang Jianbin. Wang Jianbin let the first person go and aimed his rifle at the second one, but to his surprise, this person moved extremely quickly. By the time Wang Jianbin had adjusted his aim, the person had already walked past him. All he heard was a thud followed by an "ah" - it was Liu Junhao's voice coming from behind.

  "What are you staring at? Quickly close the door!" Left Ming shouted loudly.

  The iron gate closed with a loud clang, and it wasn't until Zhao Zhenghao turned on the tactical light that the team members realized what had happened. Zuo Ming had subdued the person in front of him, his right knee pressing down hard on the man's arm joint, a single move that could control the opponent's entire body. On the ground lay another person, a dead man with multiple gunshot wounds all over his body. Everyone understood the general situation.

  Zhao Zhenghao searched the subdued man and found a handgun on him. He turned the man's face up to take a look, and indeed it was that security guard. The guard's face had no expression, numb like the weather at the moment.

  Zhao Zhenghao gritted his teeth fiercely, released his hand to signal Zuo Ming to let go of the guard, and waited until the guard slowly got up before suddenly kicking him in the head with a whip-like leg. The guard stumbled and fell to the ground.

  Who are you? What do you want to do? Why open the door? Do you know how many people will die like this?! Zhao Zhenghao roared crazily.

  The guard slowly got up, covering his face, sat on the ground panting heavily, Zhao Zhenghao's kick was extremely powerful, and blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth. The entire entrance hall was silent, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.

  Speak! Zhao Zhenghao gritted his teeth and said again.

  The guard slowly took his hand away from his face and let out a heavy sigh: This is my brother, another of my brothers died last year, also killed in front of me.

  The sentence lashed at the team members' hearts like a whip, Zuo Ming put his gun behind his back and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth. The guard began to sob, making a despairing cry that only humans make when they are most sorrowful, he tightly covered his face with the handkerchief, as if this was the only way to cover up the pain in his heart. Zhao Zhenghao let out a sigh and stared motionlessly at the top of the cave.

  Let me take him away, okay? A voice came from behind.

  Zhao Zhenhao turned his head and found that Su Yuesong and a Basque had arrived here at some point. Captain! The team members put away their guns and looked at them. Su Yuesong nodded as a greeting, and he walked with the Basque to the middle of the team and introduced: This is our base's security team captain, let him take Salome away. It was only then that everyone knew that this guard was called Salome. The captain walked up to Zhao Zhenhao and said to him very reverently:

  I've been working here for a long time, now I can hardly see any familiar faces from the past, only new faces whose names I can't remember.

  He walked up to Salome and squatted down beside him, gently supporting him with his arms: Old brother, let's go home.

  Sarom was heartbroken and cried out of control.

  Go on, old brother, your elder brother has gone to meet the Lord, he will be very happy.

  "Great Lord, where are you! Open your eyes and take a look at this world!" Salome suddenly hugged the captain and cried out in a stifled voice.

  Everyone present was moved by this scene. At this moment, the snow continued to fall, and the sky gradually turned white.
