When he saw the blade clearly penetrated into his body, the piercing pain suddenly intensified. He had never suffered such an injury or felt such pain in his 25 years of life.
The pain from loved ones that came at this moment was mixed with confusion and anger.
"Fuck your ancestors." He cursed in a calm voice, and the hand holding Qiu Yu's wrist suddenly tightened.
The expression on Qiu Yu's face suddenly became painful. The sound of the broken wrist bone was dull but crisp. He loosened the knife in his hand.
Xing Bi kicked the door open, grabbed Qiu Shi's clothes and pulled him back. Before Qiu Shi could make any more moves, Xing Bi kicked him in the chest, and Qiu Shi flew backwards and hit the window.
"What's wrong!" Hu Xiaoling rushed in and was stunned.
Xing Bi had already put Qiu Shi on the bed.
When Hu Xiaoling turned around and saw the knife on Qiu Shi's chest, his eyes instantly turned red and he yelled again: "Where did this bastard get the knife from!"
"Hide it under the table," Qiu Shi frowned and spoke with some difficulty, "He comes in first."
"Fuck!" Hu Xiaoling's voice was hoarse. He felt around the edge of the table and pulled off a piece of adhesive. He rushed to the window and looked down. "The person is gone! They must have taken him away! What the hell is this place!"
"Calm down." Qiu Shi said through gritted teeth.
Hu Xiaoling came back to his senses at this moment, and suddenly stopped talking. He turned around and wanted to walk to the bed, but he stopped after taking just one step and looked at Xing Bi.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop two degrees in those few quiet seconds.
The murderous aura that oozed from Xing Bi permeated the small space, making Qiu Shi feel as if even his breath was chilly.
Since entering the room, Xing Bi had not spoken a word, nor had he asked about Qiu Shi's injuries. He just silently tore open his clothes on his chest and checked the wound.
"Xing Bi." Qiu Shi called him.
"Do you know where their medical room is?" Xing Bi turned around and looked at Hu Xiaoling.
"I... I don't know!" Hu Xiaoling was a little incoherent, "They have several houses connected together, with several layers of walls. No, no one is allowed to enter. It should be in there!"
"You go drive." Xing Bi said.
"Oh!" Hu Xiaoling jumped up and rushed out the door, and a series of messy footsteps ran down the stairs.
"Hold the knife." Xing Bi bent down, picked up Qiu Shi from the bed, turned around and walked out the door.
"I should..." Qiu Shi held onto the hilt of the knife. After recovering from his initial shock, the sharp throbbing pain from the numb wound made him a little breathless. "I won't die."
"If you don't get treatment, you will die tomorrow." Xing Bi went down the stairs in the same way as Qiu Shi did before. He turned around, stepped onto the railing, and slid down.
“… Shit.” When Qiu Shi heard this, he immediately began to feel that his life was very urgent.
He had trouble speaking because he was short of breath, and he could feel the tip of the knife shaking in his chest with every word he spoke, but he still tried hard to find something to say.
One was because he was afraid that his attention would be too focused on the wound, and the other was because he wanted to open a gap for Xing Bi who was already completely enveloped in murderous aura.
Donglin has a symbiote, what if he takes advantage of Xing Bi's bad condition to do something...
But it's obviously difficult.
Just as he was about to speak, Xing Bi interrupted him: "Don't talk."
Hu Xiaoling had already started the car. Xing Bi put Qiu Shi on the back seat and leaned against him: "Take your hands off me."
Qiu Shi loosened his grip on the knife, and Xing Bi held onto it. Qiu Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Do you want to pull it out?"
"Drive." Xing Bi said.
Hu Xiaoling drove towards the deepest area of Donglin Town.
Qiu Shi now understood why Xing Bi had to help him hold the knife. Driving on such a bumpy road, only the reaction and control of a biological body could keep his hands so steady.
After driving for a while, we saw the restricted area in front of us from afar. There was a very high wall, and the wall had at least two layers. From the outermost entrance, we could only see the inner layer of the wall.
Before they could get close, several people appeared from the wall and the tree house watchtowers on both sides, holding guns in their hands and aiming at them.
Then several people walked out from the wall and walked quickly towards them.
"Mayor Luo and Chen Dang." Hu Xiaoling said.
"Drive over." Xing Bi said.
Hu Xiaoling drove the car directly towards those people.
The guards on the walls and trees opened fire as they approached. A row of bullets hit the ground in front of the car, raising a cloud of dust.
"Stop." Xing Bi said.
Hu Xiaoling let up on the accelerator.
"Xing Bi!" Chen Dang shouted, "Don't do this!"
"We need to use the medical room!" Hu Xiaoling also shouted, "Get out of the way!"
"I'll arrange for someone to take you there!" Mayor Luo stretched out his hand to stop them. "This is an important place in Donglin Town. Outsiders cannot enter casually, but I will arrange treatment for Qiu Shi..."
"I don't believe in your people." Xing Bi said.
The guard raised the gun in his hand slightly and aimed at their car and the people in it.
"There is a misunderstanding in this matter," Chen Dang said, "It takes time to solve anything. You guys are like this..."
Chen Dang hadn't finished his words when he suddenly looked at Xing Bi in surprise.
Among the guards who were aiming at the car, half of them suddenly turned their guns around and pointed them at their own people.
Xing Bi looked at Chen Dang: "The shielding system has not been restored yet. Do you think I can kill you now?"
"Let them in." Mayor Luo saw the problem and raised his hand to let the guards let them in.
Hu Xiaoling drove the car into the wall, turned half a circle, and went around the second wall.
"Turn left half a circle." Xing Bi said.
"Have you been here? You..." Hu Xiaoling asked, and when he turned around to look at him, he swallowed the rest of his words.
There are three circles of walls, and the entrances are staggered, but it is not complicated.
There are several small wooden buildings inside.
Following Xing Bi's instructions, Hu Xiaoling parked the car in front of the small building on the far right. Xing Bi got out of the car holding Qiu Shi and walked straight into the building.
"Fuck," Hu Xiaoling followed behind with a gun, looking around, "Why does he look like he's been here before?"
Probably because he can see.
Qiu Shi's chest was hurting more and more, and the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't want to speak at the moment.
But he knew that Xing Bi was already able to control other symbiotes, even a level one like Chen Dang.
The medical room is on the second floor. There are several rooms. Looking through the window, you can see all kinds of medical equipment. There are also several rooms where people are lying and receiving treatment.
Mayor Luo had probably already contacted the people here. When Hu Xiaoling was holding a gun and trying to find Qiu Yu room by room, a man came out of a room at the end and said to them, "Here."
Hu Xiaoling immediately pointed his gun at the man again. Not to mention Xing Bi, he no longer trusted anyone here at all.
There was only one machine in the room, which looked like a cover, connected to a bunch of wires and tubes of varying thicknesses.
"This one is..." The man just said one sentence when he was interrupted by Xing Bi.
"Get out." Xing Bi said.
The man paused, didn't continue, turned around and left the room.
Qiu Shi was put on the stage, and Xing Bi took off his shirt in a few seconds.
The various facilities in the hospital in Yuncheng are quite impressive, and the thing he is lying on, although it looks very old, seems to be more advanced in function than those he has seen in Yuncheng.
"No more anesthesia. You need to stay awake." Xing Bi pulled a mask over Qiu Shi's face and put it on his face. "We have to leave soon, before they block the biological signal of the symbiote."
"Yeah." Qiu Shi responded.
Xing Bi pulled his hands to his sides and held them down. Then something that looked like handcuffs automatically flipped up and locked his wrists.
"This is fucking painful," Qiu Shi closed his eyes, "Does it hurt?"
"I don't know." Xing Bi said and pressed a button next to the table. The transparent cover above dropped down, covering Qiu Shi underneath.
Then a robotic arm stretched out from the hood, aimed at the wound on Qiu Shi’s chest, and clamped the knife after disinfecting it.
Pull it out steadily and quickly.
But the pain did not disappear because of this precise operation. Qiu Shi kicked the hood in pain. He could not move his hands, and his clenched joints were bloodless.
"Xing Bi," Hu Xiaoling said in a tense voice. It was as if Xing Bi had become a different person, which made him feel a great deal of pressure and fear every time he spoke. "You can use this machine, right?"
"I've used it before." Xing Bi said.
"Oh." Hu Xiaoling responded, looking at the mechanical arm in the hood that began to treat Qiu Shi's wound, "How long ago?"
"More than a hundred years ago." Xing Bi replied.
Hu Xiaoling glanced at him in shock, then quickly looked away.
"The shielding system will be repaired in a while," Mayor Luo stood in the center of the inner courtyard, looking towards the second floor of the medical building. "It will be much easier if he can't control the symbiote."
"Let them go." Chen Dang said.
Mayor Luo turned his head and looked at him.
"They won't cooperate. If we can't control the symbiote, our losses will be greater," Chen Dang said. "Xing Bi is different from us. We have been living in this world for so many years... When he chose to lock his memory on his own, he had already made his choice. Even if he wants to change, it's not now."
"Are you sure it was his own choice?" Mayor Luo frowned.
"Sure," Chen Dang said, "It's in the information about the general that we intercepted earlier. Although we can't completely rule out the possibility that it's misleading information, it does seem like Xing Bi's style."
Mayor Luo didn't say anything.
"As for Qiu Shi," Chen Dang said, "he is indeed different from what we imagined. He has no feelings for his family, nor has he ever longed for them. He has no sense of belonging to the immune humans you regard as your own kind. Even if he stayed, it would be difficult for him to do things completely from the same standpoint as you. Now Qiu Yu has done this again..."
"What do you think, Qiu?" Mayor Luo asked. "If we don't deal with the body immediately, the brain may..."
"Let's fulfill his wish," Chen Dang said, "He has resorted to such extreme methods. You humans can do anything for your desires."
"Then go ahead," Mayor Luo said, "I'll wait here for them to come out. Yuncheng is already a shell with a strong exterior but a weak interior. There's no need to rush for now. They'll probably be more than happy to join forces with us now."
"His ancestors..." Qiu Shi squeezed out a word from between his clenched teeth.
After the robotic arm treated the wound and disinfected it again, it finally retracted.
The cover opened upwards, Hu Xiaoling helped him up, and Xing Bi quickly took the bandage and bandaged his wound.
"Put on your clothes." Xing Bi said as he took his hand and gave him an injection of painkiller in his arm.
"How can I wear it?" Qiu Shi slowly stepped down from the stage. "You tore it all off."
Xing Bi turned and walked out.
"Brother Shi, how do you feel?" Hu Xiaoling's voice suddenly became brighter and more relaxed as Xing Bi left.
"It's okay, I won't die." said Qiu Shi.
"Xing Bi is so scary... What's wrong with him?" Hu Xiaoling asked, "Is he angry? I always thought that biological bodies don't have such strong emotions. I feel like he wants to kill everyone in this town."
“I felt that way, too,” Qiu said, “but he didn’t.”
This was what surprised him. Xing Bi, who could smash through a biochemical body with one punch, simply kicked Qiu Yu out of the window. No matter if he was kicked to death or fell to death, at least he was not kicked to pieces.
In the subsequent confrontation, Xing Bi did not take any action, nor did he control the symbiote to fire a warning shot.
Xing Bi quickly returned to the room, holding a set of folded clothes and put them in Qiu Shi's hands.
"Okay." Qiu Shi took a look and didn't know where Xing Bi got the clothes. They were quite new and thicker than his original ones.
It was a little difficult to put on his clothes. Every time he raised his hand, he would pull the wound on his chest. Hu Xiaoling helped him put on the clothes for a long time before he was able to do it.
"Let's go." Qiu Shi gritted his teeth.
Xing Bi didn't say anything, but came over and picked him up.
"I..." Qiu Shi was a little uncomfortable. He had never been hugged like this before. "Is it because we can't find a box here?"
"Do you want to find one?" Xing Bi carried him out of the room.
"No need." said Qiu Shi.
Mayor Luo and his two men were standing downstairs, and the guards surrounding them looked very strange.
Several people pointed guns at Mayor Luo, and several others pointed guns at the guards.
"Qiu Shi." Mayor Luo called them, "Please tell Mr. Long and the general a few words for me."
Xing Bi stopped and Qiu Shi turned to look at him: "It depends on my mood."
"Donglin Town's communications cannot be repaired for the time being, but we will find a way to contact Yuncheng as soon as possible," Mayor Luo said, "Please convey the situation here to them first. I believe Yuncheng has encountered the same trouble as us. Regardless of everyone's position, the symbiote army is now our common enemy..."
"There are too many to remember," said Qiu Shi.
Xing Bi turned around and walked to the car and put Qiu Shi in the back seat.
"Qiu Yu is dead," Mayor Luo said. "We didn't expect him to do such a thing. This is completely contrary to our original intention."
Hu Xiaoling started the car.
"There is a car ready for you at the entrance of the town, and your luggage has been placed on the car," Mayor Luo said, "No one will stop you from leaving."
"I want to take this car away too," said Hu Xiaoling.
"Absolutely." said Mayor Luo.
The car turned around and drove outside the wall. When passing by Mayor Luo, he looked at Qiu Shi and said, "Qiu Shi, if one day... your family and your people will be waiting for you to come back."
"Get lost." Qiu Shi closed his eyes.
No one in Donglin Town stopped them from leaving, and it would probably not be easy to stop them. Even if Xing Bi did not control that part of the symbiote, in his current state, he could still fight his way out of Donglin Town at all costs.
They quickly changed their attitude and turned to Yuncheng to seek another alliance.
"If a fight really breaks out," Qiu Shi leaned back in his chair, looking at Hu Xiaoling who was driving the all-terrain vehicle excitedly in front of him, "I don't think Yuncheng will be Donglin's opponent."
Xing Bi didn't say anything and drove in silence.
"Xing Bi," Qiu Shi turned his head and looked at him, "Say something."
"One, three, five, seven..." Xing Bi spoke.
Qiu Shi laughed.
"I'm fine." Xing Bi said.
Everything is indeed fine. After leaving Donglin, that terrifying murderous aura has disappeared.
"But you have something on your mind," Qiu Shi said, "As a partner, I shouldn't ask too much, but as a friend, I usually ask."
Xing Bi glanced at him.
"We are now friends who have risked our lives for each other," Qiu Shi reached out and patted his shoulder, but quickly withdrew his hand because of the pain on his chest. "You can tell me anything you have."
Xing Bi remained silent.
Qiu Shi didn't say anything else, closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.
Just when he started to feel a little confused, Xing Bi spoke up: "Qiu Yu is your brother."
"Yeah." Qiu Shi responded.
"But he wants to kill you." Xing Bi said.
"Yes." Qiu Shi seemed to understand Xing Bi's feelings.
He needed to kill Qiu Yu because he hurt his partner, but because Qiu Yu was his younger brother, he did not use the most direct and brutal way.
Family love is probably the only human emotion that Xing Bi cannot truly understand.
"Will you kill him?" Xing Bi asked.
"Yes," Qiu Shi said, "He is going to kill me."
"I shouldn't have left the room." Xing Bi said.
"Who could have imagined such a thing?" Qiu Shi said, "I didn't even think of it."
"I am not you." Xing Bi said.
"Why?" Qiu Shi glanced at him, "You're better than me."
Xing Bi didn't say anything, but curled the corners of his mouth.
This small smile made Qiu Shi feel relieved. He sighed, "Xing Bi, you don't have to think about these things. I have never thought about family and relatives since I was a child. To me, Zhao Lu and Hu Xiaoling are my brothers. You know, no matter what kind of relationship, it is developed through interaction. It is not arranged by anyone."
"Yeah." Xing Bi responded. "You used to..." Qiu Shi thought for a moment, "People in the past, those before the war, should be a little different, like they all had families and so on."
"I can't get in touch with ordinary people." Xing Bi said.
"Wow!" Qiu Shi shouted.
Xing Bi glanced at him.
"You have fallen into disrepair and fallen into ruin now," Qiu Shi said, "Not only do you come into contact with ordinary people, but even your partner is a corpse collector."
Xing Bi smiled and said nothing.
"That's tragic." Qiu Shi laughed, but the pain in his chest prevented him from laughing any further. "The painkilling injection you gave me didn't seem to work."
"I almost died," Xing Bi said, "It's normal that I can't stop the pain."
"I won't die," Qiu Shi said. "When I found out he wanted to kill me, I knew I wouldn't die. Xing Bi is outside."
Xing Bi turned and looked at him.
Hu Xiaoling in front suddenly stopped the car.
When Qiu Shi wanted to remind Xing Bi, the front of their car had already hit the back of Hu Xiaoling's car. Hu Xiaoling flew out from the front of the car and fell to the ground.
"You..." Qiu Shi looked at Xing Bi, "Is the radar malfunctioning?"
"I was distracted." Xing Bi said.
"You are a first-level submersible guard," Qiu Shi said, "how could you be distracted?"
"Occasionally." Xing Bi opened the car door and got out.
"What are you doing?" Hu Xiaoling got up from the ground. "I just wanted to stop the car to pee! My bladder has burst after this collision!"
"Go pee." Xing Bi said.
"I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Hu Xiaoling asked.
"Eat after you finish peeing." Xing Bi said.
Hu Xiaoling looked at him, turned and walked away.
Qiu Shi covered his wound and smiled silently: "You can't say this in succession."
"Are you hungry? Rest for a while," Xing Bi said, "You'll get enough rest before dark."
"Are we traveling at night?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Well," Xing Bi said, "It's easy to be attacked at night, but it's safer when moving."
In the rear carriage, in addition to all the things they had brought with them to Donglin, there was also a box of weapons and several boxes of supplies sent by Donglin Town as a token of sincerity.
Food, water, medicine.
…and clothes.
I don’t know if Mayor Luo saw Xing Bi when he went to grab the clothes.
"Those symbiotes in Yuncheng," Qiu Shi drank some water and couldn't eat anything. "If it were you, could you deal with them?"
"Seven, yes." Xing Bi said.
"One against seven?" Qiu Shi was a little confused. "Are the abilities of your first-level submersible guards so different?"
Xing Bi looked at him and asked after a while, "Why are seven level one warriors moving together when entering the city?"
"...Oh." Qiu Shi came back to his senses, "That's right, based on your experience as a first-level undercover guard, what do you think they are going to do in the inner city?"
"Looking for someone, or looking for something." Xing Bi said.
"Mr. Long?" Qiu Shi said, "General? Assassination operation?"
"Maybe." Xing Bi said.
"That's a bit difficult," Qiu Shi said, "Especially the general, he's very mysterious, like he doesn't want to be seen. I even wondered if he didn't live in Yuncheng."
"Maybe." Xing Bi said.
"Have you seen the general?" Qiu Shi asked, "Did you see him when he locked your memory?"
"No," Xing Bi said, "no one has seen him."
Qiu Shi was stunned: "Which generation?"
"No one in any generation has ever seen it." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi was silent.
"Didn't Li Feng say before that he would contact you when he was done?" Hu Xiaoling poked his head over from outside the car while eating and asked.
"Yes," Qiu Shi said, "it should be about the same now."
"But there's no contact," Hu Xiaoling said, "Did something happen?"
"Even if Mr. Long died, Li Feng wouldn't necessarily be in trouble," Qiu Shi said. "He's that kind of person."
There was one last bright spot left on the screen, and everyone was staring at it.
That was the last symbiote, and Lin Sheng was approaching this bright spot at an extremely fast speed.
Judging from the current situation, clearing out this symbiont is not a problem. What everyone is worried about is that once this symbiont is cleared out, the mission will be completed, and Lin Sheng’s behavior after the mission is completed is what everyone is concerned about right now.
After the bright spot disappeared, Lin Sheng's voice was heard in the headphones.
"Except for three mission targets who escaped from the inner city, the remaining four have all been cleared."
"Return to the starting point immediately." said Colonel Xu.
Lin Sheng began to move on the map, and before long, he appeared on the path they had started from.
"Done." said Director Wu.
Li Feng yawned, feeling so sleepy that he was a little dazed, and everything he saw was a little blurry.
"Director Li! Director Li!"
"What's wrong?"
"It seems like he fainted..."
The author has something to say:
See you tomorrow.
Well, I saw some kids keep saying that there is no blank line when transitioning. There is a blank line. It seems that I need to set it up to display it? I don't use the APP, so if anyone is familiar with it, please tell me if it is correct.
I won’t add any symbols or anything like that. It’s been a habit of mine for more than ten years and it would be very uncomfortable to change it. I’d feel itchy all over.
By the way, some kids also asked how many chapters there would be.
I really can’t answer this. I don’t have any drafts saved. I don’t know…
But this article shouldn’t be very long.
Love you guys\\^O^/.
