An autumn rain and a cold.
In the middle of the night, it started to rain drizzly.
In the scorched earth after the fierce battle, a piece of ground suddenly swelled up, and a thick iron shell-like thing stood up, shaking off the debris.
Tang Xuhai sniffed the smell of blood mixed with the tide and frowned.
Geng Liangguan suddenly let the driver bombard them, which was beyond his expectations.
However, this is indeed the style of people like them. If it was Tang Xuhai himself, he would have made this choice before he was discharged from the army.
But now... Tang Xuhai looked down at Fu Shiwu, who was under his protection. He might not choose such a decisive method.
The steel shell that was propped up in an emergency was slowly retracted into the body by Tang Xuhai along the exposed skin.
He propped up his upper body, and he didn't know how long he and Fu Shiwu had been in a coma after they were stunned. In short, after waking up, neither the alien nor the armored vehicle was seen.
"Shi Wu?" Tang Xuhai called Fu Shiwu's name.
It wasn't until his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness that he noticed that there was a trace of blood on Fu Shiwu's mouth.
This surprised Tang Xuhai, he was at a loss, and he didn't know where Fu Shiwu was injured, so he didn't dare to move him rashly.
He could only stand on top of him to shield him from the rain, waiting for Fu Shiwu to wake up.
"Cough cough." After an unknown amount of time, Fu Shiwu finally opened his eyes.
Tang Xuhai was overjoyed, and he was afraid that Fu Shiwu would go into a coma without knowing his personal affairs.
"How are you?"
"Cough cough..." Fu Shiwu didn't have a clear mind at this moment, he just lay there and looked at Tang Xuhai who was blocking him. His eyes looked left and right, it was dark and silent, and he couldn't see the light of the armored vehicle. His glasses had long been broken when the third-level alien attacked him, and he didn't know where they fell. Now his vision is blurred, "They What? What about the alien?"
Tang Xuhai said, "I don't know, when I woke up, there was nothing left."
Fu Shiwu took a hard breath, feeling his chest was suffocating, he said, "The crisis in Peicheng should have been lifted, and our mission has finally been completed."
"Are you injured anywhere?" Tang Xuhai asked him with a frown.
Although he was stunned by the shock of the explosion, Tang Xuhai felt that he was not hurt, and he did not know why Fu Shiwu was bleeding.
Fu Shiwu felt it carefully and said, "Except for the panic in his chest, there should be nothing else."
Hearing this, Tang Xuhai was relieved, and he directly pulled Fu Shiwu to sit up.
I don't know if it was because of the excessive movement or other reasons, Fu Shiwu opened his mouth, and a burst of blood spurted out.
It was so dark, Tang Xuhai didn't know that he was vomiting blood, he only saw his head twisted to one side and lowered, and only heard a coughing sound. It was the blood that Fu Shiwu coughed that splashed on his arm, and the warm feeling made Tang Xuhai keenly aware that something was wrong.
"You vomited blood?!" Tang Xuhai paled in shock.
"Cough cough..." Fu Shiwu coughed twice and said to him, "I'm fine, maybe it was the blood that was holding back just now, and now it's much more comfortable after spitting it out."
Tang Xuhai was dubious and did not dare to touch him again.
Seeing that he was facing a great enemy, Fu Shiwu laughed and felt that something hot was stuffed into his heart, which was painful and warm.
"It's really okay." Fu Shiwu tried to assure him.
Finally, Tang Xuhai reluctantly agreed with the client's opinion. Fu Shiwu stood up carefully, and there was a dull pain in his chest when breathing and moving.
Fu Shiwu felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to tell Tang Xuhai at this time, he just said casually, "Let's go back."
Tang Xuhai looked up at the reddish sky, hesitated for a while and said, "Wait a while, let's go back when it's dawn. It's too dark now, and you have no eyes, so you can't see the road clearly."
Fu Shiwu paused and hummed.
Although they didn't reach the point where they couldn't see the five fingers, they were in an unfamiliar mountain col. The bombs were in a mess, and there were aliens and human corpses everywhere.
It was either gravel or broken branches along the way. The two of them walked like this without lighting. They had to be injured and scratched. In addition, Fu Shiwu was now half-blind, which made it even more unsafe.
Tang Xuhai groped to leave the place that was scorched by the bombing, half-supporting and half-pulling Fu Shiwu, and slowly moved to this place that was very tragic because of the fighting.
"Shi Wu, are you hungry?" Tang Xuhai licked his dry lips.
From yesterday to now, in addition to eating and drinking water at noon, he only ate some high-calorie food on the armored vehicle, but Fu Shiwu was different, he didn't even eat dinner at night.
Not to mention, it's okay, as soon as I said it, the already numb stomach twitched, and the feeling of hunger made Fu Shiwu weak and weak.
He didn't say a word, Tang Xuhai also knew that he was hungry.
Tang Xuhai helped Fu Shiwu aside, because the ground was wet and there was no place to sit because of the rain.
Tang Xuhai had no choice but to let him stand there.
Under Fu Shiwu's dazed gaze, Tang Xuhai directly used his metal ability to transform a support similar to a large umbrella stand. Tang Xuhai inserted it on the ground, then turned around and started a large area from the leafy tree next to him. Large pieces of broken branches.
The drizzle was lingering, and the humidity in the air was cold, causing Fu Shi to shrink his neck coldly.
At first, he didn't know what Tang Xuhai was doing, but when he began to put leaves on the umbrella stand, which tightly blocked Fu Shiwu's head, he realized that he was building a temporary shelter from the rain.
After Tang Xuhai made several adjustments, and finally no drop of water leaked from the place where Fu Shiwu stood, he nodded with satisfaction: "You are waiting for me here."
Fu Shiwu was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"
Tang Xuhai looked at Fu Shiwu being surrounded by the fruits of his labor, and said contentedly, "I'm going to find something to eat, don't move."
Fu Shiwu frowned and said anxiously, "No! Don't go!"
At the moment, the line of sight is very bad. The distance they walked just now was scratched by the branches, and the stone was blocked. Not even Tang Xuhai was pulling it, and Fu Shiwu almost fell. .
Tang Xuhai smiled at him soothingly, but unfortunately it was too dark for Fu Shiwu to see, so it didn't work at all.
"It's okay, I'll look around." Tang Xuhai thought of something, and patted his head angrily. He lowered his head and turned on the lights on his watch.
A dim light illuminated a small area.
"It's a pity that my light is too small." Tang Xuhai said regretfully.
The light on the watch, the light embedded under the dial can only illuminate the surroundings of the watch, and it is ok to see the numbers on the watch, but it is blurry under the feet.
"Be honest and wait for me here." Tang Xuhai raised his finger and pointed at him.
In order to ensure that Fu Shiwu, who was short-sighted, could see him clearly, he even moved closer and waved his hand.
Fu Shiwu nodded reluctantly.
In Fu Shiwu's field of vision, a light moved to and fro, and as Tang Xuhai walked away, it became more and more blurred.
Fu Shiwu hugged his arms, but bursts of pain came from his arms, echoing the pain from inside his body, as if he was vying for his attention.
He lowered his head, touched his arm, and felt the wet, thick liquid.
Fu Shiwu gave a wry smile, he really didn't have a single part of his body intact.
Then he remembered Geng Liangguan's decision before he died, and sighed with mixed feelings.
He could understand Geng Liangguan's order to fire artillery shells regardless of the lives of others, but he could not accept it calmly.
He is not desperate yet. With Tang Xuhai around, he still has the strength to fight, and he can always come up with a solution. However, it ended all this under the orders of others.
Fu Shiwu's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't help but think back to the situation at that time and think about the solution.
He knew that this could not undo the tragedy, but he couldn't help but keep thinking.
Fu Shiwu hugged his shoulder with the uninjured arm, and looked into the distance with empty eyes.
The rain had wet his hair before, and it was wet against his forehead, making him look a few years younger out of thin air, and his big dark eyes were looking at unknown places without focusing. His face was pale and his lips were bloodless. Despite his frail appearance, he did not appear vulnerable against the background of his upright standing posture and his slightly raised chin, but revealed an unyielding will.
The faint light from the watch hit his face, and the reflected light made him seem divine in the darkness.
Tang Xuhai stood aside, suffocating inexplicably just as he accidentally caught a glimpse of the illusory scene in the crystal lake.
It wasn't until his face turned red that he realized that he didn't seem to be breathing? !
"Cough cough cough!" Tang Xuhai panted desperately, choking and coughing.
Only then did Fu Shiwu come back to his senses from the wandering. He turned his head to look in the direction of the light, and asked with concern, "Xu Hai? What's wrong with you? Are you coughing so badly?"
Tang Xuhai embarrassedly rubbed his nose with his arm, took a few deep breaths, and calmly said, "It's alright, I accidentally inhaled rainwater."
"Oh." Fu Shiwu looked in his direction with blank eyes.
Tang Xuhai was heartbroken, and reached out to cover his eyes.
"?" Fu Shiwu blinked under his palm in confusion, "What are you doing?"
He raised his hand and pulled his hand down.
Tang Xuhai gritted his teeth patiently and said, "It's alright, I'm thinking about where to go and get you some glasses!" The excitement index report is out, it's a sin!
Fu Shiwu didn't know why, but it was a pity that Tang Xuhai refused to explain it to him.
Tang Xuhai turned around and was lucky to find a piece of wild grapes. Unfortunately, this piece of grapes was trampled by aliens. Tang Xuhai only found a few small bunches that were still intact.
He rubbed his fingers against the rain, barely cleaning it.
"Eat, or fill your stomach." Tang Xuhai handed the grapes to him.
"You eat too." Fu Shiwu picked up one and put it in his mouth.
The grapes are thoroughly ripe, overly sweet and full of juice.
"I've eaten it, you eat it." Tang Xuhai said without changing his expression.
Fu Shiwu glanced at him, this kind of trick is too old-fashioned.
Fu Shiwu directly picked up the grapes and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Hmm!" Tang Xuhai was fed up with the sweet grapes, and his eyebrows twitched fiercely.
Fu Shiwu was going to stuff it into his mouth, Tang Xuhai quickly held his hand: "I'll do it myself."
Terrible! too sweet.
Seeing Fu Shiwu eating happily without any expression, Tang Xuhai was disappointed, this is really a sweet lover.
Maybe it was because his expression was too painful, Fu Shiwu finally didn't continue to reluctantly, and wiped out the grapes by himself.
Satisfied after eating the last one, Fu Shiwu licked the corner of his mouth still.
Tang Xuhai raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "It's four o'clock in the morning, and there are still two hours before dawn. Would you like to sleep for a while?"
Fu Shiwu hesitated for a moment and said, "Here?"
"Yeah." Tang Xuhai nodded, then stretched out his hand without saying a word, and the pieces of metal extended out, quickly turning into a small tent.
Fu Shiwu exclaimed: "Your ability to apply metal is getting more and more flexible. It's amazing!"
Being praised by Fu Shiwu, Tang Xuhai couldn't help but feel refreshed and relaxed from the inside out.
He grinned and propped up four feet at the tent level to isolate the moisture from the ground.
"It's just a bit hard, let's make it work." Tang Xuhai said, and then pushed Fu Shiwu in.
Tang Xuhai lay down and adjusted it a little so that the bottom of the tent made of metal more conformed to the curvature of the human body, and it would not be so uncomfortable to lie down and sleep.
"Huh—" Fu Shiwu breathed a sigh of relief, and he closed his eyes.
Although very tired and sleepy, Fu Shiwu couldn't sleep.
The clothes on his body were all damp, the outdoor environment was a bit cold, and the blood loss made Fu Shiwu unable to sleep.
Tang Xuhai didn't realize he was cold at first, until he accidentally touched Fu Shiwu's cold arm.
"Cold?" Tang Xuhai's voice suddenly sounded.
After being silent for a while, Fu Shiwu hummed.
Tang Xuhai just hesitated and pulled Fu Shiwu over and hugged him.
Fu Shiwu's body froze.
Tang Xuhai's voice said: "Don't worry, in the extreme environment in the wild, my comrades and I are like this to keep each other warm. It's normal."
He didn't know whether it was for Fu Shiwu or himself.
Anyway, Fu Shiwu listened.
Tang Xuhai was still warm at this meeting. The source molecule completely changed his physique. After the day and night passed, apart from feeling very tired, the rain did not make him feel cold at all.
Fu Shiwu exhaled comfortably, twisted his body to adjust to a comfortable position, and fell asleep after a while.
Fu Shiwu's body temperature was slowly warmed up by Tang Xuhai's body temperature, but he felt strange.
Why did his body start to get hot? ! The heart beats uncontrollably.
Tang Xuhai froze, it was not right for him to hold Fu Shiwu's arm, it was even more wrong to hold it!
But at this time, Fu Shiwu may have felt uncomfortable, crooked his neck, plunged his head into Tang Xuhai's strong nest, and even closer, his breath sprayed directly on Tang Xuhai's neck!
Tang Xuhai's whole body exploded, his nerves immediately excited, and his blood became more restless.
Nima!
Tang Xuhai gritted his teeth and cursed, crying without tears in the face of his slightly reacting body.
He did spend the night with his comrades in the snow before, hugging each other for warmth, but he didn't react in such a perverted way!
Probably because this period of time was too hard, Tang Xuhai had been with Fu Shiwu and the others all the time, and there was no chance for relief, so he couldn't help but be a beast with this warm body leaning against his arms.
Tang Xuhai consciously found the reason, silently carrying the eight disciplines, and kept playing all kinds of military songs of his comrades-in-arms in his mind.
Slowly, the restless body finally calmed down, and he was exhausted to death. Coupled with the mental torture of himself, Tang Xuhai fell into a restless sleep.
Then had a bizarre, messy dream.
After waking up in the morning, all the content of the dream was completely forgotten by him, but he subconsciously felt that something was going to be bad.
Tang Xuhai opened his eyes blankly, his arms seemed stiff and paralyzed because he kept a movement.
He moved his neck, raised his arm that was so uncomfortable that he had to exist, and pushed Fu Shiwu away.
With such a big move, Fu Shiwu just didn't wake up.
Tang Xuhai's heart throbbed for a while, he sat up abruptly, and the tingling feeling caused by the blood dredging and recirculating flow could not be noticed at all.
"Shi Wu!" Tang Xuhai touched Fu Shiwu with his arm.
Fu Shiwu was short of breath and groaned softly.
Tang Xuhai quickly put his hand on his forehead, the tingling feeling subsided for a while, only then did he feel Fu Shiwu's scalding temperature.
Tang Xuhai's expression changed, and Fu Shiwu was burned into a coma!
He didn't dare to delay, put away the metal creation, carried Fu Shiwu on his back, and rushed towards Peicheng.
There is no road at all in this col, there is only a messy trace pressed by an armored vehicle, and Tang Xuhai runs along this trace.
Because of the rugged rocks and bad road conditions, Tang Xuhai couldn't speed up.
Just when he was in a hurry, a group of people suddenly appeared in the direction of the road leading to the col.
Tang Xuhai was shocked and quickened his pace.
However, seeing him, the people who came were even more surprised and happy.
"Xu Hai!" "Brother Hai!" "Deputy Head Tang!"
A mess of names rang out.
Among them, Tang Xuhai heard a familiar voice.
"Old Wen!" Tang Xuhai shouted loudly.
"Xu Hai!" Wen Zhaoming was surprised when he saw him, and then his eyes moved to the face on his shoulder. When he recognized it was Fu Shiwu, his smile froze, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground: "Shi What happened in the afternoon?!"
"Fever!" Tang Xuhai said quickly.
Before it was too late to say anything, the two sides quickly converged, Tang Xuhai got into the car that Wen Zhaoming and the others drove, and drove in the direction of Peicheng.
Wen Zhaoming didn't even know about the bold actions of Fu Shiwu and Tang Xuhai on the city wall. By the time he knew, the two had already left Peicheng with the death squad.
Wen Zhaoming was worried in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. The battle was getting more and more intense here, and he couldn't get any manpower at all.
After the fierce battle for an hour, the second-level aliens in the west were repelled, and they were completely paralyzed from exhaustion, unable to lift an arm.
Wen Zhaoming insisted on finding Captain Zou and forced him to contact the death squad. When they found a way to contact the death squad, the death squad was in a desperate situation and the driver fired the shell.
Wen Zhaoming was stunned when he heard the news that they were all dead and injured and only the driver was left.
The people of the Dragon Bone Corps and Henan were also very sad. When the aliens retreated one after another, the sky gradually lit up, and the battle finally ended.
Wen Zhaoming asked someone to organize a vehicle, and found it according to the direction given by the driver who finally returned to Peicheng. On the one hand, he couldn't believe that they died like this, and on the other hand, he was thinking of collecting the bodies for them.
Wen Zhaoming couldn't stand Fu Shiwu and Tang Xuhai being mixed with Alien after their deaths.
After discussing their follow-up matters with Tang Xuhai, Wen Zhaoming came forward in high spirits to contact Fu Shiwu to arrange the best treatment experts and wards.
Wen Zhaoming had not slept all day and night. After the doctor confirmed Fu Shiwu's injury and condition, he could not help falling asleep.
In addition to the high fever, bruises on his body, and lacerations on his arms, Fu Shiwu suffered a lot of bleeding due to repeated bursts, and the only other injuries were the inexplicable impact, which resulted in a slight contusion of his internal organs. Besides, there were no other fatal injuries.
When Tang Xuhai slowly reacted, Fu Shiwu was hit because he was wearing armor weighing more than 200 kilograms, and his face was completely black.
Tang Xuhai had a stinky face all the time, which made Fu Shiwu, who woke up with a fever, particularly puzzled.
"Are our people okay?" Fu Shiwu was eating with a drip in one hand and a condolence in the other.
Tang Xuhai was depressed and said sullenly: "There is no death except for hanging on the body."
Although some of the people defending in the F22 area were seriously injured, because other powers from Pingnan arrived in time, no one died.
Comparatively speaking, the Keel Corps is in the best situation for almost everyone. During the alien siege of Peicheng, some corps completely disappeared, and this time the casualties of Peicheng were also very heavy.
Even with abilities and ordinary people, more than 20,000 people died in Peicheng, which is a sad number.
