Journey to the Rose

Chapter 69

Ruan Xi was not joking.

He was indeed cut.

He charged forward with a knife, and his movements were quick, cutting over several in a row, which naturally became a thorn in the enemy's side.

After hearing his yell, it was too late for Lu Zhenghe to help.

Ruan Xi couldn't stand still after being slashed with a knife, bent her knees with a "boom", and half-kneeled on the ground.

The moment he knelt down, Lu Zhenghe looked back, his muscles tensed, blood rushed to his eyeballs, he picked up his weapon, and shot several times at the back running away from Ruan Xi.

The bullet pierced through the flesh and bone, making a piercing sound in the wind.The person who cut Ruan Xi died in an open space not far from them.

Wen Kai was the first to rush in front of Ruan Xi, while Lu Zhenghe and Li Shen were together, and the two quickly closed together to form a simple encirclement, temporarily protecting the injured Ruan Xi and Wen Kai inside.

Ruan Xi yelled that her vitality was severely injured, and the wound collapsed and hurt even more.At this moment, he was leaning on a bamboo tree, half-raised his eyes, trying to hold back the physical tears, feeling that the pain all over his body was going to that place.

The key point is that the bamboo is unreliable and too brittle. When he touched it, the wind was strong in the early morning, and the bamboo poles and leaves rattled, shaking the feathers all over the ground.

Wen Kai just sat down on the ground, not caring whether to expose the target, and turned on the flashlight switch, "What's the matter? Where did you hack?"

As he spoke, he turned Ruan Xi over and inspected, and at the same time, he twisted off the bamboo leaves from the top of Ruan Xi's head and shoulders and threw them away.

Ruan Xi clutched the upper half of her arm, feeling the blood was bubbling, and she was almost out of breath: "My... arm, is my arm gone?"

Grabbing a handful of flesh on the back of his hand, Wen Kai frantically asked, "Does it hurt?"

Ruan Xi frowned in pain: "It hurts..."

"It shouldn't be a big deal, it's not broken," Wen Kai hurriedly pawed him, "Don't cover it, show me."

"it is good."

Ruan Xi slowly moved his hand away.

Fortunately, it wasn't really cut into a bloody mess, but the wound was a bit deep when the knife went down, and the flesh rolled out, leaving a long and narrow mark.His complexion was pale, and he was biting his lips tightly all the time, and his lips showed an unhealthy light purple color.

After a while, Wen Kai simply treated the wound, saw that he was silent, took a closer look, and found that Ruan Xi had passed out from the pain.

Even though Ruan Xi was not his lover, Wen Kai still regarded him as his younger brother who needed to be protected, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhenghe.

Lu Zhenghe focused on shooting, closing the encirclement step by step. Perhaps because the flames of anger were too intense, he almost never missed a single shot.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and a round of rising sun rose from the forest outside the bamboo forest. The low sky was vast, and it should be a thick fog.

In foggy weather, it is difficult to aim with a gun, which creates an opportunity for close combat. When the fog fills the bamboo forest, their guns will no longer be useful, and they will not be able to find their way out.

Li Shen quickly exchanged glances with Lu Zhenghe, the two dispersed, Li Shen stayed where he was to protect Wen Kai and the others, and Lu Zhenghe went to get rid of the other shadows in the forest by himself.

"...Where's Lu Zhenghe?"

Slowly opened his eyes from the coma, Ruan Xi's head was painful and heavy, and he felt that someone made of copper and iron was still in estrus, and felt that his whole body had been burned, and he was stuffed into thin layers. sweat.

His arms hurt, and his throat hurt even more. He opened his mouth, filled with the smell of wet dew.

Luckily he didn't die...

Otherwise, if he was killed with a knife in the maze, he would not be able to see what that person looked like when he was dying. It would be a bit too miserable.

Temporarily deal with the wave of attacking people, Lu Zhenghe calculated the time in his heart, and felt that he could no longer stay in this maze.

He took a few steps back and patted Wen Kai on the shoulder, "How long will we have to walk before we can get out?"

Wen Kai pondered for a few seconds before replying, "Ruan Xi's injury is on his arm, not his leg. He should be able to walk without any problem, but it will be slower. If he walks normally, I guess he can leave here before noon."

"I have cleared the front, there is only one road, and there is a fork in the end. But I seem to have seen the left-turn road before." Lu Zhenghe said.

Stretching out his hand, twirling the pads of his index finger and thumb, Wen Kai roughly deduced a direction, "Then let's turn right."

"It's a pity that there is no gunpowder, otherwise the whole bamboo forest would be blown up." Li Shen was indignant, regretting in his heart that the boat sank at the wrong time in the city of ice rivers, otherwise he would not have suffered such a serious crime now.

Without further ado, Lu Zhenghe held up Ruan Xi's other uninjured arm, trying to lead the person forward.

As soon as he was "lifted" up with a knife, Ruan Xi narrowed his eyes, regained consciousness, and muttered, "Where is Song Shumian?"

"He's in the back," Lu Zhenghe said, "He's well protected, don't worry."

Ruan Xi almost didn't even have the strength to turn her head back, she nodded, turned her face sideways, bent her knees to lower her center of gravity, and temporarily rested her head on Lu Zhenghe's neck.

Lu Zhenghe's hands were dry and warm. Although the tactical holster was rough, it was thick and rubbed against his face.

He relaxed his muscles, resisted the urge to gasp, and whispered, "Lu Zhenghe."

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhenghe stared straight ahead, not daring to slack off.

Although Ruan Xi is an omega, his body is not that strong compared to him, and his injury is still not healed, so it is still a bit difficult to walk.

"Thank you……"

Ruan Xi kept a low voice, and tightly gripped Lu Zhenghe's front, "Your injury is still not healed, and I've been dragging my feet again..."

"We just need to protect each other. When you are in estrus, your combat effectiveness will naturally weaken. Don't blame yourself."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhenghe touched his face and pressed his neck with his free hand, feeling that the gland was still hot and swollen, and there was a faint sign of it going to subside.

The gland was pressed, and Ruan Xi groaned.

He tugged at the front of Lu Zhenghe's training uniform, shaking violently, and the blade of Xiao Yanling's knife clanked.The hair at the base of the back of his neck was stuck together softly and sticky, and the sweat flowed more and more.

"Kiss," Ruan Xi was dazed, and raised her head begging for a kiss, "Will it make me feel better if you kiss me?"

"No. Only worse."

Wen Kai noticed the situation here, and simply reached out to take Ruan Xi over.

Lu Zhenghe was also hooked unbearably, and was about to kiss Ruan Xi as if to quench his thirst, but Wen Kai dragged Ruan Xi over by the hem of his clothes, and Lu Zhenghe almost kissed Wen Kai's hand.

Wen Kai was startled, and said helplessly, "Young master, control yourself."

Lu Zhenghe: "..."

How to control this?

"Young master, now that no one is coming to kill us, you should stay away from Ruan Xi. There are not enough inhibitors, and there is no condition right now... There is no condition for sex. We can only wait for him to get over it by himself." Wen Kai said.

There was a moment of silence by the bamboo forest.

Ruan Xi's face turned red when he was told, and the word "jiao.he" pierced his eardrums. He was so ashamed that he couldn't help leaning in the direction of Lu Zhenghe.

No no no.

After leaning in, he remembered Wen Kai's words "Keep a distance", so he endured the pain and didn't focus his attention on Lu Zhenghe again.

"..."

The sky was still dim, under the shadow of swaying trees, Ruan Xi couldn't see Lu Zhenghe's expression clearly.

He seemed to have no objection, lowered his eyes, counted the equipment on his body, and waved to Li Shen: "Come on, let's take the lead in exploring the way, and Ruan Xi will hand it over to Wen Kai for the time being."

After speaking, Lu Zhenghe left.

Li Shen answered "Yes", and rushed out from behind Wen Kai, quickly following Lu Zhenghe who had already taken a step ahead.

Because of his back injury, Lu Zhenghe's walking posture was still a little awkward, his shoulders were slightly tilted, trying to reduce the weight brought by guns, bullets, and ammunition.

Ruan Xi lowered her eyes slightly, her whole body lacking strength.

He had never been hurt so much by a sharp weapon, the pain was like being bitten into the heart and lungs by poisonous ants.Panting for breath, he slowly raised his arm, trying to overcome the pain.

Because if an enemy gets close, he still needs to draw out his weapon and hit him with a single blow.Sometimes it is not about strength on the battlefield, but about timing.

The road is dappled with shadows.

The wind swirls among the bamboo forests, the leaves rustle and rustle, sobbing when dreaming back in the middle of the night.

·

Wen Kai led the few remaining people and walked quietly through the bamboo forest.

Tormented by the estrus period, her mind was in a mess, and Ruan Xi's eyes were bloodshot.

He was supported by Wen Kai and walked in the middle of the team. Looking back, he found that there were remaining "comrades in arms".

Some of these people gathered from other cities in the south did not know how to use weapons or fight. They escaped some assassinations by luck and walked to the center of the maze safely.

After leaving the center point, they chose the road to turn right.

Turn right and go all the way to the end, and then go forward again. When you reach the most northwest corner of the maze, the sky is completely bright.

The northwest corner is a right angle, and there is only one road to the east.

Wen Kai took out the map and scribbled on it, crossing out several forks in the road. The tip of the pen ran across the paper, "Go south."

"Turn right again?" someone asked him.

"Yes, the exit of the maze is in the northeast corner."

Afraid that his words would not be convincing, Wen Kai wiped off the blood stains on his face, bit the pen, pointed to the path that had been messed up on the map, and said firmly: "We have been turning right continuously, which means we are not too far from the end point. .”

Squatting on the side of the road was a rough man with bruises and bruises on his face. He looked about 40 years old. He questioned, "Are you sure?"

"Believe it or not is up to you."

Wen Kai helped Ruan Xi, and motioned Gu Zirong behind to move closer, "Anyway, I'm going to take my family to that side."

Although the man was speaking to Wen Kai, his eyes were unabashedly glanced at Ruan Xi.

His attention seemed to be attracted by Ruan Xi's arm that was slanted to his side. He sighed, biting an unlit cigarette between his lips, and continued, "It's a big mistake to take this step. .We have 30 NO.[-] people here, and people will come over one after another, young people, don't walk around..."

How did it get noticed?

Ruan Xi's pheromone taste spread?

But Ruan Xi's taste should only be discerned by Lu Zhenghe.

Wen Kai couldn't figure it out.

But he couldn't relax, so he could only block Ruan Xi back a bit.

He narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes: "You can't talk nonsense."

The man jumped up suddenly and dropped the cigarette in his hand to the ground, "What do you mean?"

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

There are already some people around who are starting to worry.

After experiencing life and death threats, everyone is tired, and most of them adopt a wait-and-see attitude or verbal advice.

"Hey, don't quarrel, we can't fight among ourselves now!"

"Yes, we need a guide. If we spread out, maybe..."

"We've always been guided by this young man!"

As the swords were tense, someone had already taken the initiative to go in the direction Wen Kai said.

Wen Kai didn't listen to these words, looked around, and saw the shadows of Lu Zhenghe and Li Shen beside the bushes not far away, and suddenly gained confidence.

"Means nothing,"

Wen Kai took two steps forward, bent down, and with a flick of his fingertips, he picked up the cigarette that the burly man threw on the ground, and then stepped forward, stuffing the dusty cigarette back into his mouth, "Don't be so big! anger."

Nether·70 keep a safe distance!
