Chapter 5: crisis

Views:

Qiu Shi felt that he might die.

This was his first thought when he woke up from coma.

My chest and back are hurting, it's excruciating. I couldn't breathe when I was in the box. Now I don't know how many ribs are broken, and I can't breathe even more.

At least three or four were broken. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could feel the broken bones moving.

Yes.

This crazy sneak really put him back in the box.

But the box was broken and could not be closed. Qiu Shi saw two canes tied to the box through the gap in the lid.

Qiu Shi tried to calm himself down from the suffocating chaos. He needed to understand the situation in front of him. Theoretically, this hidden bodyguard should have been sent by Li Feng, but his acting style was the same as that of the biochemical body that kidnapped him, and the description of the biochemical body in the school books made it impossible for him to completely trust it.

"Xing Bi." He flicked the box with his fingers.

Xing Bi did not answer, but paused slightly.

"Where to go now?" he asked.

Xing Bi still didn't answer.

"Who sent you here?" Qiu Shi continued to ask, "Where did you come from."

Xing Bi never made a sound.

"What's the content of your fucking mission?" Qiu Shi said angrily.

This question finally seemed to hit the right switch, and Xing Bi spoke: "Take target Qiu Shi back to the starting point within forty minutes and ensure the target's vital signs."

Qiu Shi didn't know why there was such a time limit, but since the time was clear, it must make sense, and the key point was this vital sign.

This probably means that as long as you don't die, it will be fine.

"Let me out," Qiu Shi endured the pain, "I can't breathe."

Xing Bi didn't speak, but paused for a moment, and then a stick stuck out from nowhere and pressed against his face through the gap in the box, widening the gap by just a centimeter.

"You..." Qiu Shi was about to curse when the box was dragged across a broken rock, knocking him so hard that he almost couldn't hold it back.

Even if Xing Bi could get him back within forty minutes, and he really wasn't knocked to death, the suffering he suffered along the way would be worse than just dying.

"How can I tell if I can survive to the starting point?" Qiu Shi asked.

"Based on the severity of the injury," Xing Bi's hoarse voice sounded calm and emotionless, "Without any intervention, you can survive until five days later."

"How long will it take to return?" Qiu Shi asked.

"Twenty minutes." Xing Bi replied.

"Okay." Qiu Shi gritted his teeth. If Xing Bi didn't speed up, these twenty minutes would torture him to death.

He twisted his arm hard, put his left wrist to the edge of the boot on his left leg, and then pulled it up sharply.

The metal piece on the edge of the boot cut a deep gash at his wrist.

After the brief pain, warm blood rushed out.

Xing Bi stopped, and then stretched out his hand to slightly open the gap in the box. Qiu Shi stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist: "You, I, carry the box and run."

"You can't die." Xing Bi didn't move, just looked at the blood on his hands.

"There are many arteries," Qiu Shi said, "there is always one that can kill me. I am not a biochemical body."

Xing Bi loosened the rattan binding the box, and then opened the lid.

Before Qiu Shi could react, Xing Bi struck the side of his neck with his palm.

Li Feng and Director Wu were sitting together in the car taking Xing Bilai away from the exhibition hall. A bunch of incomprehensible instruments around them beeped from time to time, the indicator lights were flashing, and the numbers were changing.

He didn't know what these things represented. He only knew that these data belonged to Xing Bi. His movements, his stillness, and his various functions were all transmitted back to the sensors implanted in his body. Everything was monitored by the experimental team. Down.

Director Wu was very nervous, but Li Feng was a little sleepy.

When he saw the frown on Director Zhang's gloomy face in the car over there from the window, he cheered up again.

"Can Xiao Chong see Qiu Shi's situation?" Director Wu asked.

"It's almost the same as before," Li Feng threw the receiver in front of him, "It's still alive, it's hard to say how it will be."

"The ambulance is right outside." Director Wu said.

"Xing Bi had better know something," Li Feng said in a low voice, "If Qiu Shi is disabled, he will be useless."

"If it really happens..." Curator Wu also lowered his voice, "There is still a way."

Li Feng glanced at him and simply replied with two words: "No."

"Xing Bi stopped." The person in charge of monitoring said.

Director Wu immediately stood up and walked to the machine. Director Zhang, who had been staring at the movement here, also immediately got out of the car, came over and smashed the door of the car.

Li Feng went over and opened the door for him.

"What's wrong?" Director Zhang asked.

"The stationary time is more than thirty seconds." Director Wu said.

"What caused it?" Director Zhang asked.

"It was caused by him standing there motionless," Li Feng said.

"...Old Wu?" Director Zhang stared at Director Wu.

"We can't tell the specific reason from the data," Curator Wu stared at the surveillance system. "We can only know how long he was in a still state, including all body movements."

"Are you still alive?" Director Zhang asked.

"Alive," Director Wu said, "there have been no reports of attacks or injuries before."

"Director Li," Director Zhang turned to look at Li Feng, controlling the anxiety and anger in his voice, "When you forced me to go find the general, did you ever think that such a situation would happen?"

"I really haven't thought about this." Li Feng replied calmly.

"Is there any way to make him move?" Director Zhang asked.

"Not yet," a staff member replied. "The preparation time is too short and there is no time to make more detailed adjustments."

"Aren't you going to write your last words today?" Director Zhang still looked at Li Feng, "You can write now."

"It's written." Li Feng cleared his throat.

Director Zhang opened the door and jumped out of the car, returned to his car, and slammed the door.

"Do you really not want to live?" Director Wu asked, "I'm even afraid that Lao Zhang will shoot you."

"I will go to him to apologize tomorrow," Li Feng rubbed his face, "I tend to be incoherent when I am nervous."

Curator Wu glanced at him. What he said could not be told whether it was true or false by looking at it, or whether it was true or false by hearing it.

Two minutes later, the staff guarding the monitor and Director Wu shouted at the same time: "It's moving!"

Director Zhang, who heard the commotion, rushed back to the carriage again: "Which way were you going?"

"Currently, it looks like we are returning to the original route normally," the staff said, "but the speed is much faster than before. We will arrive in advance and within a controllable time."

Director Zhang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Why the sudden acceleration?" Li Feng took Qiu Shi's receiver and took a look. On the surface, it didn't seem to have changed much. He breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."

There are stars today, a few sparse ones. It is said that this is a scene that only Yuncheng can see. Because of the mountains and forests, they can see the stars.

Li Feng walked to the edge of the cliff where Xing Bi jumped when he left, looked up at the sky for a while, then lowered his head and looked at the dark forest.

Thirty-two minutes.

Xing Bi dragged a black box tied twice with rattan back to the car.

"Whose blood is it?" Li Feng immediately noticed the blood on Xing Bi's hand.

"Target." Xing Bi said.

When the emergency personnel moved Qiu Shi out of the box, Li Feng saw his wrist that was still bleeding.

"What do you mean by this injury?" Li Feng frowned.

Xing Bi did not answer again.

Li Feng wanted to ask something else, but Director Zhang was still present. The more questions he asked, the more he would question the safety of the potential guards, so he said no more and just stared into Xing Bi's eyes.

Although according to Director Wu's opinion, Xing Bi, who was under forced lockdown today, could not consciously and deliberately stop or accelerate during the period, and the specific reason could only be checked back in the laboratory, Li Feng still stared at him. a long time.

It wasn't until Xing Bi left and the scene was cleared that he turned around and followed him into the ambulance.

Qiu Shi looked a little miserable. He had known Qiu Shi for almost ten years. It was the first time he saw Qiu Shi injured so seriously. After all, he had only broken one forearm after falling off a cliff.

In the ambulance, the general condition of Qiu Shi's injuries was already checked out.

Multiple rib fractures, including two broken ribs on the back, muscle tears...

Except for the two fractures on his back that Li Feng was sure were caused when Qiu Shi was kidnapped, he couldn't figure out how the other fractures were broken.

It won't break the ribs when stuffed into the box...

As for being caught up, with Xing Bi's ability, it was unlikely that there would be a fight that caused Qiu Shi to be so seriously injured... The only possibility was the order that only required to ensure that the target still had vital signs.

He even stuffed it back into the box and brought it back.

Li Feng didn't even know whether the order was implemented too standardly or too perfunctorily.

"How did you cause so many fractures?" he asked the emergency personnel.

"There are both crushing and impact, and more information needs to be fully examined before we know it."

"You're not going to die, are you?" Li Feng glanced at Qiu Shi's pale face.

"No," the first responder said, "but recovery will take some time."

"How long?" Li Feng asked immediately.

"Two to three months," the first responder replied. "He is in good physical condition, but it will take longer to fully recover to before the injury."

"I know." Li Feng frowned and turned away.

Qiu Shi felt that he must have fainted. Judging from the pain on his body, he probably didn't faint for long.

After waking up, he didn't open his eyes immediately. He still closed his eyes to rest, and his mind quickly went through everything he could remember.

There were instruments beeping around him, and there were things on his body and hands. According to his guess, he must be in the hospital.

This is a bit suspicious.

He has never been to the hospital, and no one he knows has been to the hospital. The only hospital in Yuncheng is in the inner city, and not everyone can enter it.

Qiu Shi's understanding of medical care was that of a few small pharmacies in outer cities. The company would regularly provide medical supplies to residents in outer cities with poor living conditions, but not everyone had a chance. The company even opened a channel to apply for professional medical treatment, but the wife of the boss of Dayan had something growing in her stomach. She did not wait for the notice to enter the inner city until she died.

As for ordinary medicines, from gangs in the outer city, to refugee groups, to those who have some hard goods but can't get into the inner city, the result of queuing down layer by layer is basically that if it is good, you can take it yourself, and if it is not good, you can take it. Wait for them to collect the body.

And he might be lying in that hospital where no one has ever been.

I didn't feel happy, just suspicious.

Although the pain all over his body seriously affected his thinking at the moment, he knew that with his friendship with Li Feng and Li Feng's character, it would be impossible for Li Feng to arrange for him to be admitted to the hospital without any conspiracy.

In addition, the eight lives of the Dayan Tavern, the old man who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and himself who was inexplicably captured... Yes, not only were he captured, but he was also captured by the invading biochemical body, and then was captured by the biochemical body sent by Yuncheng. Bring it back after being beaten...

Hit twice.

But that's not the most important thing now.

All this was beyond his comprehension.

What you can't figure out means danger.

It's that simple.

It was quiet around me, no one around.

Qiu Shi opened his eyes. It was a neat and clean room that he had never seen before. Except for the instruments connected to his body, everything was pure white, so white that it was a bit eye-catching.

He frowned and slowly raised his head and checked himself. His body was wrapped in gauze and there were a bunch of tubes that he didn't know what they were used for. When he found that he was having difficulty moving, it was not only the injuries on his body, but also the fact that his hands and feet were immobilized. On the palm-sized bed beneath her, there were four leather straps.

Are you worried that he will commit suicide

He slowly lay back.

Ten seconds later, he stood up suddenly. After a few muffled sounds, his hands and feet were freed from their restraints. Then he tore off all the tubes on his body and walked towards the door.

When he was near the door, Qiu Shi heard the door lock click. He stretched out his hand to twist it and lock it. The people outside probably heard the noise and quickly locked the door. At this moment, there was still something outside the glass window. Someone was peeping in.

He knocked on the door twice. He didn't know what material it was made of, but he definitely couldn't kick it open.

So he looked back and dragged the hospital bed over.

When he pulled the bed up, Qiu Shi could feel the tearing pain in his chest. He could hardly lift his arms, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up the bed, using the weight of the bed to firmly swing the door lock. .

The person outside the door screamed.

The lock handle fell to the ground.

After the bed slid open, the door to the room slowly opened. Outside is a long corridor with bright white ceiling lights and a faint scent of potion. Except for the warehouse of the Security Department, Qiu Shi has never entered any building in the inner city, but the same peak forest, the same mine, The scene in front of him made him feel that this place was a completely different world from the place where he had always lived.

He stood there for a few seconds, observing the environment and to relieve the pain caused by the big movement just now, and then slowly moved forward along the corridor.

There were rooms on both sides, and as he moved forward, several of the doors that had been open slammed shut.

Every room had glass, and he looked over one by one. He didn't stop until he saw several girls in the same uniform huddled in a room without a bed.

Yuncheng Mining, this is indeed the hospital in the inner city.

Qiu Shi raised his elbow and smashed the glass on the door.

"What are you going to do!" Several girls inside shouted in panic.

A girl who looked a little calmer said loudly: "We have sounded the alarm! The guards will be here soon."

"Where is this?" Qiu Shi looked at her and asked.

"...Hospital." The girl answered.

"Location." Qiu Shi asked again.

"Valley, valley square." The girl said.

Qiu Shi frowned impatiently: "Details."

"The third floor of Peak No. 7, one in the southeast of Valley Plaza," the girl reported quickly. "At the end of the corridor, on the right side, is the exit of the transport cabin. There is a transportation vehicle that can go directly to the inner city gate."

Qiu Shi nodded, turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.

After walking only three or five steps, several men with guns appeared at the end of the corridor.

Qiu Shi didn't stop and continued walking forward.

The man with the gun didn't fire, he just pointed the gun at him.

Qiu Shi walked into the transport cabin, turned around and looked at these people. Until the cabin door closed, they didn't fire or had any intention of following.

When he saw the car parked at the entrance of the cave, Qiu Shi knew why these people didn't shoot.

The car door opened, Li Feng sat inside and waved to him.

Qiu Shi walked over and leaned against the car door: "You have two choices, kill me now, or tell me what's going on."

"You have only one choice," Li Feng said, "Get in the car."

"I can still die." Qiu Shi said.

"It's impossible," Li Feng looked around and said, "Get in the car."

Although no one was watching, people standing far and near were looking in this direction. Qiu Shi was wearing hospital clothes, but one could still tell at a glance that he had an aura that did not belong to the inner city.

"Oh, you're afraid of this." Qiu Shi suddenly smiled, took two steps back, took a breath, and didn't know whether to shout or run.

"Ask what you want to ask, and I will only tell you what I can tell you," Li Feng shouted in a suppressed voice, "Come up here!"

Qiu Shi got into the car, his body hurt, and he couldn't bear it anymore standing there. What he wanted was to see Li Feng's attitude.

The driver drove the car and started to drive down the lower road in the inner city. Li Feng checked the sound insulation layer and turned to look at Qiu Shi: "If I hadn't come, where were you going to go?"

"Go back." Qiu Shi said.

"Your injury won't heal outside the city." Li Feng said.

"Then move a ward there," Qiu Shi said, "I still have several vacant bunkers."

Li Feng turned his head and stared at him.

"I want to ask a question." Qiu Shi leaned back in his chair and turned to look at him.

Li Feng said nothing.

"On the second floor of Dayan Tavern," Qiu Shi asked, "How is that old man?"

Li Feng didn't seem to expect that his first question would be this. He squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know. There was no one on the second floor when the City Defense Department arrived."

Qiu Shi's brows instantly wrinkled: "Did Xing Bi see the old man when he caught up with those biochemical bodies?"

"I don't know," Li Feng said, "I can help you check."

"No need." Qiu Shi refused immediately.

"Anything else to ask?" Li Feng asked.

"Xing Bi is the latent guard that Yuncheng has been hiding," Qiu Shi raised his arms and adjusted his sitting posture to avoid pressing his back, "right?"

"Yes." Li Feng replied.

"Why did those biochemical bodies take me away?" Qiu Shi continued to ask.

"I don't know." Li Feng said.

"Fuck you, you don't know," Qiu Shi said. "This question has the same answer as why you sent a submarine to rescue me. You don't know the key question, Dog Officer."

Li Feng sighed: "I am just a dog officer of the Security Department. Your questions must be asked to the general or Mr. Long."

When Qiu Shi still wanted to ask questions, he realized that the road outside the car was not the road leaving the inner city, but a completely unfamiliar road that he had never walked before.

Of course, he only took the road to the warehouse in the inner city.

"Where are we going now?" Qiu Shi stared out the window.

This was a once narrow waterway. There were many such roads in the inner city. However, although it is still within the inner city, there are no traces of life. Except for a small number of mine shops and pedestrians walking by quickly with their heads down, there are There are only mountain peaks that are as tall as blades. Looking up, the sky seems to be blocked by the mountains.

"First pick up someone on the way," Li Feng said, "and then take you to see something."

Qiu Shi said nothing.

He already had a premonition that he might be involved in something that was not easy to get out of.

"Qiu Shi, you are not as strong as you think."

He remembered Li Feng's words.

I didn't understand what this meant at the time.

…I don’t understand it now.

The car turned into a tunnel. There was no sign of maintenance. This was still the inner city, but this tunnel looked full of outer city style.

It seems that not everything is drawn on the inner city map in the book.

The car stopped in the tunnel, Li Feng opened the door, and a middle-aged man got on the car and sat opposite Qiu Shi.

This is a man from the army. Although he is not wearing a uniform and wears a hat to cover his eyes, his unique figure and temperament can still be seen.

"Qiu Shi," the middle-aged man took off his hat and revealed his face, "Nice to meet you."

Qiu Shi originally thought that the man didn't want him to see his face clearly, so he took off his hat. However, unexpectedly, Qiu Shi felt that it was an ordinary face like this that could only be recognized by his clothes in a crowd. He took off his hat. That's all if you don't pick it.

"What's so lucky?" Qiu Shi was a little uncomfortable with this kind of conversation.

"From now on," the man said, "you will no longer be the same body collector as before."

Qiu Shi was stunned for a moment, then became irritated.

From the incident at Dayan Tavern to now, everything has made him upset, and the injuries on his body have been hurting. Now this man comes up and talks to himself like a master...

He simply responded: "Get lost."

Li Feng coughed lightly.

The man didn't mind and just said, "Let's drive."

The car drove out of the tunnel, and the three people in the car said nothing. Qiu Shi was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak, and he couldn't continue thinking. The other two people didn't know what they were thinking.

The car drove for about ten minutes, entered a tunnel again, and stopped at the exit at the end of the tunnel.

"Get off the car." Li Feng said.

After the two of them got out of the car, Qiu Cai slowly got out of the car, followed them, and slowly walked out of the tunnel.

There is no road on the other side of the exit. The tunnel ends on the cliff.

Ahead are endless green mountain forests and unfamiliar peaks in the distant clouds and mist.

But when Qiu Shi looked down from far to near, he was stunned.

It took a while before he asked: "What is this?"

"Yuncheng's biggest crisis right now."

The author has something to say:

I'll continue tomorrow, and I'll probably stop for a day the day after tomorrow.

Then, let’s talk about this perspective. I seem to write more about mutual attacks, because I prefer mutual attacks. But in many cases, I don’t actually have any preference. Whatever I do is fine. When I write, it’s true. I don't care about this. I didn't even think about it before a child asked me about it. Especially now that I can't drive a car, I feel that everyone can stand wherever they want, as long as they don't tear it apart for me, so the mark is unknown.

But I don’t know if this is the right thing to say. I’m particularly afraid of making a noise. If someone is unhappy for this reason that I don’t pay much attention to, I will really panic.

So this is it. I will change this perspective to "mutual attack", but I don't mind how you stand. Then I will say sorry to the children who cannot accept it. I will mark it from the beginning in the future and try not to use "unknown" anymore. "That label.
