coexist in vain

"I've given enough organizational tasks recently." Qi Guangzhen wiped the baby's gun carefully, replenished the ammunition, put it in his arms, and glanced calmly at the expressionless driver Yin Xiangqian.

"This time the target is a group of foreign mercenaries."

Time was running out, so Zheng Chenglie had to briefly introduce the situation in the car.

"Most of them are veterans who have served for three to five years. They have rich combat experience, proficient in combat marksmanship, and sufficient weapons and equipment. The number is overwhelming. They were smuggled to a warehouse for processing automobile tires in the west of the city, where they took a short rest. We want Take them all before they're ready."

"Just follow the usual tactics?" Yawning, Wu Kunyu pressed Yu Wen on his shoulder.Mercenaries and the like are still out of his sight.

"It seems so." Yu Wen smiled after not sleeping well for two nights, and leaned against Wu Kunyu to take a nap with his eyes closed.

When the second group was just established, the group leader Zheng Chenglie tested each person's ability and strengths, and formulated several basic combat methods for the second group in different environments based on the principle of complementarity.

Seeing Zheng Chenglie nodding, Yin Xiangqian, who was driving, felt his heart skip a beat.In general tactics, he and Qi Guangzhen are partners.He glanced at Qi Guangzhen leaning against the window with closed eyes through the rearview mirror of the car, not knowing how to face it.

Recently, he and Qi Guangzhen were having an awkward fight because they covered it up very well, and the people in the group didn't seem to know about it.Yin Xiangqian gripped the steering wheel distractedly.

"I know that everyone is a little tired recently. But I have to cheer up for a while!" Zheng Chenglie is making the final mobilization preparations, "Quick battle, no bullet will be wasted."

Quiet and fast.Yu Wen smiled, until now Zheng Chenglie is still adhering to the general's philosophy.

As soon as they arrived at the mission location, everyone became serious.Wu Kunyu held a gun in his hand, and stooped down to spy on the enemy's situation secretly through the crack of the side door.

This group of mercenaries in camouflage uniforms had apparently just arrived in the warehouse, and sat around a long table to eat.

It seems that their lunch is very simple. Zheng Chenglie squinted and watched the soldiers eating high-energy bread and ham with a bottle of mineral water.The one sitting at the table must be the officer, he observed carefully, although that person was wearing the same military uniform, but he didn't talk to other soldiers, it seemed that he was going to be the first to kill him.

The mercenaries were finally freed from the airtight and narrow compartment of the truck. They were eating happily, and their defenses were at the lowest level. It was a good time for a sneak attack.He waved at Ji Chen behind him, and sneaked into the warehouse through the side door.

Waste tires are piled up everywhere in the warehouse, as well as various parts that have been packed into boxes.There are many places for cover in the huge warehouse. Tall wooden frames, old rusty machines, and dim light all provide good conditions for the mission.

Wu Kunyu and Yu Wen followed Ji Chen, but in a flash, relying on the natural barrier of containers piled up about four meters high, they entered a small processing room next to them.After finding that there was no one inside to eliminate the danger, he went into the large warehouse where the target was, turned around and went to ambush in the opposite direction to Zheng Chenglie and Jichen.

Qi Guangzhen and Yin Xiangqian raided from the main entrance.Only to find that the front door was locked.Qi Guangzhen looked at Yin Xiangqian habitually.Yin Xiangqian thought for a while, and led Qi Guangzhen to the back door.Both of them have always done the work of provoking and provoking the enemy.Calculating the time, the other four people probably took their positions.Qi Guangzhen glanced at Yin Xiangqian, and Yin Xiangqian nodded at him.The two strode to a distance of five meters from the mercenary at the same time.

Qi Guangzhen carried a pistol on his shoulder, and Yin Xiangqian held a thin pistol in his hand, standing under the light and shadow.

Even though we are having a fight, the tacit understanding for so long is still there.They spoke in unison without any difference.

"Hi, have a nice lunch."

The mercenaries who were surprised were still in a confused stage at first, and they didn't feel that the two little ghosts who suddenly appeared could pose much threat to them.They were in no hurry to pick up the guns that were set aside, but simply stopped moving.After a few seconds of silence while looking at each other, Yin Xiangqian suddenly raised his gun and accurately blew up the fire extinguisher on the diagonally opposite wall.

All of a sudden, the fire extinguisher exploded, the white mist dispersed, and the mercenaries got up one after another and scattered in all directions.Qi Guangzhen and Yin Xiangqian took advantage of the chaos and hid in the hiding place that had been optimistic in advance.

"Quick! Find cover and prepare for battle!" The leading officer was the first to realize that his troops should have been blocked.He lowered his waist, picked up the gun and fired a burst of fire.The rest of the soldiers also reacted when they heard the gunshots, and after finding a cover, they shot in the direction of the two people just now.

Sure enough, it was a scourge.Zheng Chenglie narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, took aim, and pulled the trigger, the officer fell to the ground in response.Ji Chen beside him smiled and praised a good marksmanship, and then hit back fiercely.Hearing the painful cries of the mercenaries, he proudly raised his eyebrows at Zheng Chenglie.

The soldiers who ran towards the other side were met with merciless counterattacks by Wu Kunyu and Yu Wen, who had been in ambush for a long time.Some even failed to level their guns, and fell to the ground obediently under Wu Kunyu's fierce artillery fire.As a cover, Yu Wen helped Wu Kunyu, who was blindly attacking, to clean up the crisis around him from time to time, but he was happy to have a leisurely time.

In an instant, bullets flew across the entire warehouse, and if you didn't pay attention, you would be scratched by stray bullets coming from nowhere.Coupled with the smoke from the fire extinguisher and the already dim light in the warehouse, it added to the chaos on the scene.Qi Guangzhen and Yin Xiangqian ran alternately behind the elevated shelf, shooting from the gap exposed by the shelf, which only made the group of soldiers puzzled.

But fortunately, the opponent is also a mercenary and has received professional training.Although there was chaos for a short time after losing the leader, they quickly gathered in twos and threes to find a bunker and started a counterattack.

Ji Chen pushed Zheng Chenglie, and then hid himself in the opposite direction.A bullet missed him.The good-tempered Ji Chen raised his brows rarely, charged forward and fired.

The enemy's bullets hit the iron frame one after another, sparking.Qi Guangzhen hurriedly squatted down covering his head, poked his head out twice while they were panting, and dealt with the threat.Yin Xiangqian aimed at the group of three on the other side, and headshot them all without being cruel at all—as easily as if everyone was just playing an online shootout game together.

Wu Kunyu and Yu Wen were forced to shift positions due to the intense firepower of the pincer attack.Wu Kunyu quickly knocked out the tires hanging in the air with a single shot.Scattered and fallen tires rolled everywhere, blocking the soldiers' sight and creating a new round of chaos.And he and Yu Wen wiped out many enemies in the chaos, and managed to hide in another ambush by the way.

At this time, the three of them still maintained the outer encirclement circle, tightly grouping the prey in the middle, unable to move.After half an hour of firefighting, the opponent's firepower gradually weakened.All six of them knew that the target was already a turtle in the urn, unable to fight back.

Ji Chen wiped out the last soldier in sight, looked around at the corpses on the ground, and deliberately fired a shot, but there was no reaction from the opponent in the empty warehouse.After a fierce firefight, Wu Kunyu and others couldn't get used to the brief silence.Yu Wen held a gun vigilantly, eyeing behind the container.

Qi Guangzhen walked slowly to Yin Xiangqian's side, walking back to back with him and gradually walked out of the safety zone.Both know that the more harmless it looks, the more the enemy is trying to hide it.Nerves on both sides were tense.

They are waiting.

Qi Guangzhen's warm back was pressed against Yin Xiangqian.Yin Xiangqian tried his best to ignore the real touch from behind, but it was too intimate and tempting for him to resist.He understands that when two people can give their backs to each other in battle, that is the highest level of trust.

Once upon a time, Qi Guangzhen jumped in front of him with a smile, and told him that when Xiang Qian was fighting, I would leave my back to you, even if it cost my life, I would never turn back.

Do you have no hesitation... Yin Xiangqian thought about it, and actually deserted at the most critical moment of the battle.The last two mercenaries lurking face to face with Yin Xiangqian naturally would not miss this opportunity. One of them picked up a piece of scrap iron that fell from the machine and threw it aside.Yin Xiangqian, who was unable to concentrate, suddenly heard a voice from one side, and bent down reflexively to find out.

Just a few seconds of neutral gear.The two mercenaries aimed at Qi Guangzhen, who was exposed when Yin Xiangqian left, and shot.Qi Guangzhen felt a chill in his back, and then felt a pain in his back.

He, who had never been greeted by a bullet, turned his head back in disbelief. He inevitably pulled the wound and grinned in pain.

Yin Xiangqian, have you finally decided to run away?

Qi Guangzhen subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the wound, and his hand was stained with blood.His eyes were fixed on Yin Xiangqian who was still facing away from him, and he suddenly felt heartache.Unable to stand upright, at the moment when he fell down, he suddenly longed for Yin Xiangqian to turn his head, longing for him to take a look at such a downcast self.

He twitched the corners of his mouth painfully, with a hint of self-deprecation.

Damn, whoever goes first likes this move in the end.

"Guangzhen!" Hearing the gunshots, Zheng Chenglie stepped on the container with both feet, stood condescendingly on a high place, and killed one with one shot.

Only then did Yin Xiangqian, who suddenly realized it, raised his hand and shot one of them.Then hastily turned around and hugged Qi Guangzhen who was kneeling on the ground due to pain, "Guangzhen! Qi Guangzhen..."

Zheng Chenglie scanned the audience, shot a soldier who was still alive, and felt relieved to see him completely fell to the ground.Ji Chen, who was closer to Qi Guangzhen, rushed over to check the injury.

"Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit the spinal cord." He pulled out the emergency bandage he carried with him and wrapped it around Qi Guangzhen's back, "Hold it on Xiang Qian and help him stop the bleeding." He put Qi Guangzhen on his back to help him stand up, and Wu Kunyu rushed over to help Qi Guangzhen carry it out of the warehouse.Zheng Chenglie was still standing on a high place watching them take Qi Guangzhen out vigilantly. Yu Wen went out and turned over the soldier who shot at Qi Guangzhen, and stamped the badge on his neck.

Blood from the main artery spurted out, but Yu Wen, who loves to be clean, didn't dodge, but just took the handkerchief Zheng Chenglie handed over and wiped the blood spattered on his face.There was a little red light on the silver needle tip of the badge.

Stained with the blood of sin, it is especially coquettish in the sun.

The six of them quickly got back into the car and drove towards the villa.The wound continued to bleed, and Qi Guangzhen, who was lying on Yin Xiangqian's lap, became paler with the passage of time.

"Qianqian..." he called.

"What?" At this time, Yin Xiangqian had already ignored any emotional entanglement, and hurriedly lowered his head, tightly holding his raised hand.

"You are finally willing to talk to me Qianqian..." Qi Guangzhen showed a bleak smile, "I used to feel that if I reached out to grab you, I would lose it one day."

His voice was weak, and he had completely lost the vitality of the past, "But now I know, if I don't reach out again, maybe one day, I won't be able to catch you again."

It wasn't until this moment that he really understood that the loss of Yin Xiangqian and the fact that he never had Yin Xiangqian have also made Qi Guangzhen feel tortured.It turns out that Qi Guangzhen, who has always been laughing and heartless, is also fragile and afraid.

A heart that wants to be brave to love, but always has a sense of fear of being abandoned.

And when Yin Xiangqian was tormented by his indifference, he was also struggling and suffering between gains and losses.

So to say that he treats him kindly is a very cruel thing to some extent.

But now, like a ghost, he endured the pain in his back and stretched out his hand to him, wanting to hold him in his arms.Yin Xiangqian thought, apart from love, there is no other emotion that can better explain the reason for this.

Yin Xiangqian can no longer escape his feelings for Qi Guangzhen.He once tried to ignore, tried to escape, he tried to learn from Qi Guangzhen, pretending to turn a blind eye to everything about him.But he always fails.He has always been defeated by Qi Guangzhen.Even if the other party is just lying on your lap, motionless.

"Hurry up! Why don't you drive faster!"

Yin Xiangqian watched Qi Guangzhen's eyes slowly close, and his mind would explode for a moment.Suddenly there seemed to be countless sounds roaring in his ears, but he seemed to be deaf and couldn't hear anything. He could only see blood pouring out of his wound, staining one piece after another of emergency bandages red.

Without even thinking about it, Yu Wen slammed on the gas pedal.The car passed by like lightning.

"Excessive bleeding. The bullet must be removed now, and it will be impossible to delay."

Ji Chen glanced at Qi Guangzhen's wound and made a conclusion.Then, before the car stopped, he opened the door first and jumped out of the car.

"Xiang Qian and Yu Wen went to help prepare the emergency room. Wu Kunyu came here." Zheng Chenglie carried Qi Guangzhen, who had passed out, with one arm.

After receiving the order, Wu Kunyu ran to the car door and supported half of Qi Guangzhen's weight.The two of them half-armed and half-hugged him into the house.

The emergency room that Zheng Chenglie talked about was actually a study room.Yin Xiangqian hurried into the study, Ding Ding Ding quickly pressed a few keys on the wall of the room.The originally elegant and simple dark green flower bud-like chandelier immediately descended, stretched out its petals, and released strong incandescent light for medical operations.The desk under the lamp automatically folds into a simple operating table.

Yu Wen ran over and opened the doors of two large bookcases with open doors in an antique coffee color, and various brand new stainless steel surgical instruments were impressively displayed inside.Yin Xiangqian pressed another button, and the room was completely disinfected and sterilized by a high-grade cleaning agent.

Just when everything was ready, Zheng Chenglie and Wu Kunyu also came to the study room with injuries.Ji Chen, who had put on his mask and got ready, stood beside the operating table and nodded to Zheng Chenglie.

Zheng Chenglie and Wu Kunyu put Qi Guangzhen on his back gently on the operating table.

"Everyone go out and wait." Seeing that the blood vessels had coagulated on their own, Ji Chen cut open Qi Guangzhen's injured part with scissors, and began to deeply disinfect him with alcohol cotton.

Zheng Chenglie went over and patted Ji Chen on the shoulder, then took a deep look at Qi Guangzhen, and walked out first.Although he was also very worried, Yu Wen pushed Yin Xiangqian, whose legs were weak at this moment, and walked out.

"Damn Teddy, remember that you owe me a labor fee." Wu Kunyu, with red eyes, rolled his eyes at Qi Guangzhen, who was pale, muttered, and turned to close the door of the study.

The waiting time is always long.Not long after Du Yichen got injured, another team member was injured, which cast a haze over everyone's heart.Due to the high intensity of the task, Wu Kunyu stubbornly carried Yu Wen, who hadn't closed his eyes since the last task, to the upstairs room to rest.Yin Xiangqian sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the ground blankly, not knowing where his thoughts wandered.In contrast, Zheng Chenglie was much calmer.He stood against the wall facing the door, looking at his watch from time to time.

"It's over?" Zheng Chenglie immediately surrounded Ji Chen, who was clearly looking tired.

"Yeah." Ji Chen nodded, "I don't have much anesthesia, and he'll probably wake up in ten minutes or so."

"Okay. I'll help you to rest." Zheng Chenglie turned his head to comfort Yin Xiangqian, "He will wake up soon, you go in and watch."

Yin Xiangqian nodded, staggered to his feet but dared not take a step.He was terrified to see Qi Guangzhen lying there lifeless.Just like that, he slowly moved in and stood beside Qi Guangzhen.

"……Well"

"Are you awake?!" Yin Xiangqian, who was waiting, was overjoyed for a while, "How do you feel, does it hurt?"

"pain."

"Be patient with the pain." Yin Xiangqian glared at him, but seeing Qi Guangzhen's fingers that could only be moved a few times with all his might, he still awkwardly placed his hand under the back of his hand.

Qi Guangzhen looked at him and smiled knowingly.

"Yin Xiangqian, I like you."

"What did you say!"

Qi Guangzhen fought hard against the anesthetic and pain in his body, and insisted on imprinting Yin Xiangqian with reddish eye sockets into his eyes.This Yin Xiangqian who is like a glass doll in the window, this Yin Xiangqian who is always by his side no matter when and where, who is obviously shrewd but becomes stupid when he encounters Qi Guangzhen, this Yin Xiangqian who has been wronged even today, but still full of heart. Yin Xiangqian of Qi Guangzhen.

"I like you."

"woke up?"

"I can't die." Qi Guangzhen, feeling numb all over, pulled an ugly smile at Zheng Chenglie, "Brother, medicine."

"Have you figured it out?" Zheng Chenglie looked at Qi Guangzhen seriously, "The two pills for internal use were given to DUST, and now only the external ones are left."

"What medicine?" Yin Xiangqian looked at the small box in Zheng Chenglie's hand without knowing why.

"A new drug for tissue. It can heal the wound within five days, but it has an irritating effect and will aggravate the pain." Zheng Chenglie has already begun to prepare a dose for one person.It is not difficult to find that his brows are slightly wrinkled at this time.

"Yin Xiangqian, go out." Qi Guangzhen suddenly spoke, although he was still weak, but he could still hear the firmness in it.

Zheng Chenglie raised his head, but he saw Yin Xiangqian standing there motionless.

"Yin Xiangqian, go out first." Zheng Chenglie with a stern face put on his gloves.

"I don't think you want to see him in such a mess."

Yin Xiangqian hesitated for a while, but he still didn't disobey Zheng Chenglie and went out obediently.Admittedly, in the current situation, injuries are a fatal flaw for any of them.

"Are you ready?"

Qi Guangzhen silently took a deep breath.The antiseptic mixed with the ancient smell of the book invaded the lungs, causing an indescribable pain.He closed his eyes, not knowing what to think, but nodded extremely firmly.

Yin Xiangqian leaned his back against the wall outside the door, Qi Guangzhen's forbearing shouts echoed in his ears.

He slowly slid down against the wall, squatted at the base of the wall, bit his lower lip and buried his head on his knees.

Love can make a person brave, but it can also make a person cowardly.Yin Xiangqian is brave because of love, but Qi Guangzhen shrinks because of love.But it doesn't matter, as long as one party is brave, love can always continue.

Yin Xiangqian stretched out his clenched fist in silence.But fortunately, now you are gradually getting braver.

When I'm about to be brave.

I like you.

I finally heard you say it.
