Ren Jie originally wanted to leave this place with Yirou, but after wandering around for a long time, he couldn't find a way out. When the two of them were exhausted from hunger and cold, they suddenly found a brightly lit area outside the woods not far away.

The two of them were startled, and looked at the bright place in awe, with trembling voices: "What's going on there?"

Ren Jie tried his best to calm himself down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go and see."

Yirou turned pale with shock: "This...that light is so weird...I'm afraid it might be dangerous..."

Ren Jie supported her shoulders, with a solemn face: "But we have been wandering around like headless chickens for a long time, but we couldn't find a way out. Since there is an abnormality over there, whether it is a light or a trap... we must always get close. Only then can it become clear.”

Yirou looked around, it was dark, and the other party was so persistent, finally she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, then go and have a look."

Ren Jie could naturally sense her fear, and he felt pity in his heart. He stopped and thought for a while, then took Yirou's hand and went to the nearest warehouse.

Yirou guessed what he wanted to do: "Want to get some weapons?"

Ren Jie nodded, and immediately pushed open the warehouse door. Taking advantage of the weak reflection of the snow, he found a self-loading rifle from the pile of ammunition, and took a round of ammunition belt from the adjacent ammunition box. Hang on.

Yirou stood aside quietly, wringing her hands and watching his every move.

Ren Jie looked up at her, thought for a while, and picked out another pistol that was lighter, then got up, and handed it to Yirou.

Yirou didn't react at first, but when Ren Jie stuffed the gun into her hand, she suddenly realized what the other party wanted her to do. Her complexion changed suddenly, and she couldn't stop backing away. She couldn't speak in panic: "You, why did you give me the gun?"

"Self-defense." Ren Jie opened her fingers, and put the gun into her hand in a daze, "Be careful if you are loaded with bullets, and don't accidentally fire."

Holding the heavy cold iron in her hand was enough to make her shudder, and when he heard that it was already loaded, Yirou almost cried: "I, I don't know how to use it!"

She is a nurse who saves lives and heals the wounded all day long. The only thing she sees blood is giving injections to patients. When has she ever touched such a dangerous thing?

Ren Jie couldn't help laughing at her weeping face, and he pulled people out: "It's okay, I'll teach you... It's much easier to use a gun than to get an injection."

Yirou became even more nervous when she heard the words, and almost missed the gun in her hand, but Ren Jie didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and listen to him explain some basic points of shooting.

It's just that he was flustered, and his left ear went in and his right ear went out, which failed Ren Jie's careful teaching.

Ren Jie was very vigilant and deliberately avoided the connected path, but chose to go through the woods and move forward in a detour.

The forest is dark and damp, and it will be scraped by branches from time to time. Yirou only feels miserable, but at this moment, danger is lurking, so naturally she can only grit her teeth and endure it.

They managed to pass through most of the forest, and the light of the street lamp in front of them faintly penetrated in. Seeing this, Ren Jie pressed Yirou's shoulder, signaling to stay still.

On the boulevard, there were faint footsteps, and it sounded like there was more than one person.

who?Is that the old man?Could it be that he has companions?

Yirou didn't dare to breathe out, and unconsciously clenched the pistol tightly, and the tide in his hand became more and more serious.

Ren Jie also held his voice and held his breath, guarding the surroundings as if he was facing a deep valley. He had already set up his posture, with his finger on the trigger of the gun, and his whole body was like an arrow on the string, ready to go off at any moment.

Yirou on the side was naturally infected by his fear, and became more and more anxious, but after all, she was not a professionally trained fighter like Ren Jie, and she would inevitably make mistakes when she was frightened.

She just raised her head slightly, but she accidentally bumped into a twig. The branch was frozen and extremely fragile, and it broke easily.

In fact, the sound was quite slight, but it seemed extremely sensitive in this cold night where everything was completely silent and tense.

Ren Jie's breathing was stagnant, and then he heard the footsteps outside hurried up, knowing that the other party had noticed someone here.

The plan of spying on the gap was aborted, Ren Jie glanced at the people around him, just met her flustered and self-blaming eyes, he could not utter the words of blame, so he could only smile helplessly, and whispered: "Ready."

Yirou's shoulders trembled, she didn't know how to answer, she never thought about it, and a loud shout came like thunder: "Who is it?!"

Ren Jie also froze all over, without any hesitation, he fired immediately. The sound of the gun tore the silence of the forest, and the broken ice fell from the branches, hitting the two of them coldly.

Yirou, who was terrified, was suddenly frozen by the sudden cold, but he temporarily calmed down. In just a few seconds, the rifle in Ren Jie's hand fired several rounds, and the figures outside the forest swayed back and forth. At least three people were .

Yirou was afraid that Ren Jie would not be able to handle it alone, so she gritted her teeth and raised her gun to join the battle.

She took a deep breath, and fixed her eyes on a figure on the ground in distress. She closed her eyes, her heart froze, and she pulled the trigger tremblingly. Then her shoulders were numb from the recoil, and her body also fell back. Yes, but she just broke out in a cold sweat.

The bullets whizzed out, roaring in Yirou's ears, and when he was hesitating whether to fire a second shot, there was a scream.

She was startled, she thought that her gun must have missed, but she didn't expect... Could it be that she really hit the target by mistake.

However, the sound of gunshots kept ringing in my ears, and I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might not be me... Ren Jie probably shot me.

Ren Jie also heard the man's miserable howl clearly, and he was overjoyed. The opponent was injured, so it was not a bad thing for him.

He cheered up, and when he was about to make persistent efforts, the other party suddenly yelled: "Fuck! Which grandson is hiding in the dark and sneaking up? Dare you come out and anal your grandpa???"

Hearing this, the two people in the forest were startled, not because they were frightened, but...

It was still Yirou who spoke first, and she spoke with trepidation: "Uh...do you think...that voice sounds familiar?"

Ren Jie couldn't believe it, but he unconsciously put down the gun in his hand. He pondered for a moment, and then tentatively said, "... Zhong Yuncong? Is it you?"

After a while, there was a laughing and cursing from outside: "It's a dog, it's really flooding the Dragon King Temple...Ren Jie, get out of here!"

Ren Jie finally confirmed the identity of his companion, he couldn't help laughing, he turned his head to look at Yirou who was still in a daze: "It seems that the people from the Management Bureau have come here... Hey, next time I have to see clearly before shooting. .”

After listening to his words, Yirou finally reacted belatedly, and she turned her worry into joy: "Since it's Yun Cong and the others, let's go out quickly."

When the two of them came out of the woods, Zhong Yuncong was leaning under the street lamp, tilting his head to look at the person coming. After seeing the two people's description clearly, the smile in his eyes became stronger. When he saw the figure, he was a little surprised.

"Ren Jie, why are you here? Why is Yirou here?" Zhong Yuncong never expected that Ren Jie, who had been missing for several days, would appear in this mysterious space with Yirou beside him.

Ren Jie also asked three questions, and he smiled wryly: "I don't know how I got here...but you, how did you find it? Did the Administration Bureau send someone here?"

Zhong Yuncong shook his head: "No, I'm the only one."

Ren Jie suddenly became puzzled: "The other two people..."

His words immediately pulled Zhong Yun back from the joy of reunion after a long absence, he restrained his smile, his expression became serious, and he glanced at Yang Shaowen and Xie Cheng who were not far away, but his voice was flat: "They are 'Shadows' of."

Ren Jie's complexion changed slightly.

When he was about to say something, he was startled when he heard Yirou exclaim, "What's wrong?"

Yirou hurriedly ran to Zhong Yuncong's side, staring at his left arm that was still oozing blood, her voice trembling: "You...are you the one who was hit just now?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ren Jie was also surprised.

Zhong Yuncong gave Ren Jie a gouged look, and raised the corner of his mouth with a smirk: "Yo, marksmanship has improved."

Ren Jie's expression looked a little weird, he glanced at Yirou, but he hesitated to speak.

Yirou felt inexplicably guilty at his glance, which fell into Zhong Yuncong's eyes, but he thought she was worried about herself, so she comforted her with gentle words: "It's okay, although that bastard Ren Jie doesn't have eyes, but the situation is special after all. Don't blame him."

Yirou's eyes were red, and when she was about to say something, Ren Jie came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Help him deal with the wound first, and talk later when you have something to say."

Yirou woke up like a dream, quickly helped Zhong Yuncong to sit down, and was about to tear off the skirt: "I'll help you stop the bleeding first..."

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yuncong pressed her hand and shook his head: "The warhead seems to be still inside, I dare not move, please help me dig it out first."

Under the shadow of the light, his face was as pale as snow, and his tender heart became more and more uneasy. She was at a loss: "It's so serious...what should I do? I don't have tools..."

Zhong Yuncong took out a dagger from his body and handed it over: "Use this."

Yirou was holding the dagger, but the worry on her face was not less, she murmured: "There is no disinfectant..."

Most of Ren Jie's attention was on the "Shadow" duo. The other party was obviously concerned about the gun in his hand.

Hearing Yirou's words, he frowned: "Let's dig out the bullet first... With such a low temperature, there should be no infection."

Zhong Yuncong also nodded: "Don't worry so much, come on."

Yirou pursed her lips tightly, without any further hesitation, she pulled out her dagger, cut open her sleeve, and plunged into the open flesh and blood.

The severe pain struck, and in normal times, Zhong Yuncong would have been unable to bear it and howled a few times, but seeing that Yirou's state was unstable, he was afraid of frightening her, so he swallowed in pain.

For a moment, he was sweating coldly, and the blood on his face and lips faded away.

After digging out the bullet, Yirou immediately tucked away her clothes, and crudely bandaged Zhong Yuncong's wound. The latter smiled weakly at her: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yirou held the blood-stained dagger in one hand, but the bloody bullet lay in the palm of the other hand. After hearing Zhong Yuncong's words, she didn't hold back any longer, and tears fell like broken beads. non-stop.

Zhong Yuncong was terrified when he saw her burst into tears, and persuaded with a forced smile, "Why are you crying? Don't scare me... I'll think I can't keep my arm..."

It was fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Yirou cried even harder, at first she just shed silent tears, then sobbed, and finally she was crying out of breath.

Zhong Yuncong was so frightened that his whole body became stiff, and he couldn't stop laughing: "No way, am I really going to amputate...?"

Only then did Yirou wipe away her tears, and glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhong Yun was relieved from his heart, seeing that the girl was still crying, he smiled wryly and asked Ren Jie for help: "Brother, help me!"

Ren Jie had roughly guessed the reason, shook his head and laughed: "She is just blaming herself."

Zhong Yun let out an "ah" for no reason, turned to Yirou, and asked cautiously, "...what's wrong?"

Yirou's nose was red from crying, and she stretched out a hand tremblingly. Zhong Yuncong took a closer look and found that the shell in her hand was just dug out, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "What's wrong with the shell?"

"That shot just now..." She lowered her eyes in shame, another string of tears slid down, "I fired it..."

There is a huge difference in the shape and shape of the bullets of the synchronous pistol, which she can still tell. After Zhong Yun dug out the bullet from the wound just now, Yirou knew that she was the culprit who injured Zhong Yuncong.

When Zhong Yuncong heard the words, he couldn't stop talking.

Ren Jie suppressed a smile: "I didn't expect that Yirou's first shot would be...accurate."

Yirou became more and more ashamed, and covered her face with her hands: "I'm sorry...I didn't expect...how could I hit you..."

Zhong Yuncong suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was so uncontrollable that it touched the wound, and his facial features immediately wrinkled into a ball, Yirou quickly pressed him down: "What's so funny?! You should scold me!"

"No, I'm not angry..." Zhong Yuncong kept smiling, stretched out his right hand and patted her on the shoulder, "I just think, you are really a good seedling of a sharpshooter...much better than your family's Ren Jie gone."

Yirou was taken aback, then blushed, a little annoyed: "You're making fun of me..."

Zhong Yun became serious: "I'm not making fun of you, but him."

The girl kept a straight face, but she didn't hold back after all, and smiled through her tears: "Be serious, take a good rest, and stop talking."

Zhong Yuncong smiled, and moved his eyes to Ren Jie, who was also smiling, but after the eyes met, Zhong Yuncong suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickered instantly, and almost missed Ren Jie's in a hurry. look.

"Yun Cong." Ren Jie's smile has completely disappeared, his expression is extremely dignified, and there is still deep grief and anger in his eyes, "Do you know that my mother... is not here?"

Sweat dripped from Zhong Yuncong's forehead again, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Yirou beside him felt his abnormality almost immediately, and looked at him in surprise.

"I know." He nodded and replied calmly.

Ren Jie's two hands were clenched into fists, his nails sunk deep into his palm, his face was distorted by the pain, he looked at Zhong Yuncong eagerly and expectantly: "Then do you know, who killed her?"

As soon as this question was uttered, Zhong Yun, who was immersed in the surprise of the old friend's reunion, finally woke up completely. His whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he felt the chill go down to his bones.
