Chapter 112 Rescue
Zhang San nodded and continued walking forward.
The two walked for about half an hour when they faintly heard terrified screams coming from ahead.
Qin Yingxue and Zhang San exchanged a glance and quickly lay in wait.
Peeking out from under a lush tree branch, I saw three people tied to several large trees ahead. One of them was on the verge of death, covered in blood, with his eyes tightly closed. It was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.
They were surrounded by a dozen or so hairy monkeys.
One of them had a tuft of white hair on its forehead, and a pair of cloudy eyes that gleamed with intelligence. It was baring its fangs with a ferocious expression and quickly reaching for the stomach of one of the people.
Then, it pulled out a series of things from its hand, and the man let out a mournful cry, blood gushing from his mouth, until he finally died...
Bai Haijian was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs went weak.
But with his hands and feet bound, he didn't even have the freedom to fall down.
Looks like I'm going to die here today...
Six people, all of them are dead, and I'm next.
Bai Haijian closed his eyes in despair, his mind flashing back to Xiao Haifeng's innocent face and Uncle Song and Aunt Song looking at him tenderly...
Well, he's dead, so be it. I'm sure Xiao Haifeng will grow up safely with his aunt taking care of him.
Little sea breeze, I'm sorry, your brother can't stay with you anymore...
Suddenly, I heard a "thump-thump-thump" sound, accompanied by the angry and mournful cries of wild monkeys.
Bai Haijian subconsciously opened his eyes and saw a bizarre scene.
The wild monkeys all around seemed to be under a spell, collapsing one after another...
No, I was shot...
Bai Haijian saw a monkey lying at his feet with a bullet between its eyebrows, dead, blood still gushing from its chest.
Someone came to rescue me...
Bai Haijian was immediately overjoyed.
But the next moment, he was horrified.
With a tuft of white hair on his forehead, he was the leader of this group of wild monkeys. His eyes were bloodshot, and he charged at Bai Haijian with a furious expression.
Bai Haijian watched helplessly as the wild monkey, its hand covered in fur and entrails, reached straight for him, and closed his eyes in despair.
Bai Haijian was almost facing death when, in the next moment, a gunshot rang out, and the wild monkey fell to its own side.
Bai Haijian was so frightened that he could still smell the stench of the wild monkey in his nostrils. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out in a spectacular fashion.
Qin Yingxue blew away the white smoke coming out of the gun barrel. Fortunately, these wild monkeys weren't very intelligent. She and Zhang San worked together well and eliminated the scourge with just a dozen or so bullets.
Seeing that Bai Haijian had fainted made things much easier.
She told Zhang San to erase all traces of the two of them, and strode towards Bai Haijian.
She kicked the wild monkey that was lying on Bai Haijian aside and reached out to untie him when she felt a chill creep into her heart. Qin Yingxue reacted almost instantly and fired a shot without thinking.
The wild monkey's cloudy eyes revealed confusion and bewilderment.
They could have easily captured a few humans, so why were they all ambushed and died without even knowing how?
Qin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief. After untying Bai Haijian, she didn't rush back. She first drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water and then wiped her face and hands with a wet wipe.
After Zhang San erased all traces of the two, he came over and carried Bai Haijian on his back, with Qin Yingxue following closely behind. The three of them quickly left the deserted island and sailed the yacht towards Baisha Island.
Just as they arrived at the beach, Lei Hongjun led a team to the deserted island.
After issuing the order, fully armed, a group of people quietly sneaked into the woods.
An eerie silence followed, and everyone remained on high alert as they made their way to the scene where the group was bound.
Upon seeing two human corpses and a group of wild monkey carcasses, Lei Hongjun directed four people to stand guard while the others began searching the scene.
"Battalion Commander, we found bullet holes in the bodies of wild monkeys, but there are no bullets inside, and the caliber and depth are not what we usually see." One of them quickly reported the discovery to Lei Hongjun.
Lei Hongjun's face was grim: "Has anyone else made any other discoveries?"
Everyone shook their heads: "The traces have been erased; we have no way of finding them."
Lei Hongjun could no longer contain his rage: "Damn it, these heartless bastards! Six people came, five are dead, and the fate of the third is unknown. We don't even know who killed these wild monkeys. We finally got a mission, but it's so unpredictable. Take the bodies back, and don't let the monkey corpses go either. Take them back to the research department for those old guys to study."
"Yes." Everyone started to move, some picking up the bodies, others continuing the search.
Soon, the troops left with a large number of corpses, and Lei Hongjun ordered the fishing boat to be taken back as well.
The deserted island returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.
When Bai Haijian opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar place.
A female nurse in military uniform saw Bai Haijian wake up and asked with concern, "You're awake! Is anything bothering you? Do you feel nauseous?"
A look of panic flashed across Bai Haijian's face, and his eyes darted around nervously.
"Don't be afraid, this is the military. Our people found you lying on the beach with multiple scratches and a broken leg. It's okay, you'll recover after a while."
The nurse gently comforted her.
"Is this a military base?" Bai Haijian finally realized and asked excitedly.
"Yes, you're safe now," the nurse said with a smile.
"I've been saved! I didn't die!" Bai Haijian's eyes glistened with tears, overwhelmed with emotion.
"You can't get too emotional right now, young man, please calm down..." The nurse saw that Bai Haijian's face was flushed with excitement and quickly advised him.
"It's alright, let him vent!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Bai Haijian quickly turned around, and when he saw Qin Yingxue, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer: "Auntie, I thought I would never see you again!"
"It's alright..." Qin Yingxue held a lunchbox in her hand, indicating to the nurse that she would take good care of things here.
The nurse nodded and left.
Qin Yingxue walked over and saw that he had woken up. Apart from being a little agitated, he seemed normal, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Many people who have experienced such bloody scenes, especially those who have witnessed the brutal murder of those around them, will suffer long-term effects.
This is why Qin Yingxue didn't send Bai Haijian home directly, but instead left him on the beach and watched as Lei Hongjun's men took him back to his unit before she felt relieved enough to leave.
She was afraid that Bai Haijian might have post-traumatic stress disorder, and even more afraid that he might have a psychological shadow that would affect him for the rest of his life.
It seems that the young man has a strong mentality.
"You must be starving! This is pork bone soup my mother-in-law made, drink more." Qin Yingxue opened the lunchbox and handed him a soup spoon.
"Comrade Bai, you're awake! Did you see who saved you before you lost consciousness?"
A sudden, abrupt sound rang out.
