star hunter

The gunshots rang out suddenly, and they thought they were going to face a fierce battle, but they didn't expect that after the other party fired back two shots at random, there was no movement again.

Zhong Yuncong's arm was aching from the recoil of the gun, and he described it as a bit embarrassed, but he was not in a bad mood. He clearly remembered that he had hit someone just now.

As for whether the other party is dead or not, it is unknown.

"The aim is not bad, but the posture of holding the gun is too bad." Su Xian is holding the submachine gun that was brought in from the "Shadow" member that was dealt with earlier, and its firepower is much stronger than his pistol. , I don't know if it was because of fear of this, the other party retreated quietly after the thunder and rain came out.

"After all, I am an amateur. This is the... third time I have shot, and I hit the target every time. The result is not bad, okay? Don't be picky!" During the interval of the gunfight, Zhong Yuncong Still have the energy to talk back, Su Xian glanced at him, shook his head: "It's better to practice hard."

"Ah?" Zhong Yun never understood the meaning of his words. Instead of explaining, he started talking to himself: "Strange, why is there no movement?"

Zhong Yuncong blinked: "Is it because of the terrain?"

They occupy this cave, the terrain is quite favorable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is dark, if they want to attack by force, unless they have double the number of people, otherwise it is indeed not the best strategy.

"No matter what the reason is, I don't think the 'Shadow' people will let us go so easily." Su Xian frowned, "They sent a lot of people here, they must have something to ask for, and they won't fight like this Little trouble."

Zhong Yun thought of Xiaotao and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Su Xian's attention still stayed in the woods, but he glanced at the people around him calmly from the corner of his eye, and vaguely guessed something: "At first, I thought they were coming after you, but later I found out... Not so."

Zhong Yuncong still didn't say anything.

Su Xian sighed: "Are they after that girl?"

"...I'm not sure." He finally said, his voice was quite heavy, "but it's very possible."

"What's her background?" Su Xian asked, but he still shook his head: "I don't know, but she's definitely not a bad person."

Su Xian wanted to say something else, but finally shook his head: "Forget it, but next time don't hand over your life to others."

Zhong Yuncong was startled, then smiled helplessly: "She saved my life."

"You saved her too, didn't you?"

After he finished speaking, Zhong Yuncong sniffed suddenly, but when he was about to speak, he stopped him impatiently: "That's the end of this topic..."

Zhong Yuncong interrupted him hastily: "No! I just want to ask, do you smell anything strange?"

Su Xian, a patient with severe rhinitis, looked confused: "Ah? Is there any? What's the smell?"

There was movement behind them, and they turned their heads suddenly, only to see Xiaotao's slightly flustered face, she walked out with Jiang Qiyan who had just woken up,

Jiang Qiyan, whose face was as white as paper, said in a weak voice, "I also smelled it..."

Su Xian was startled, but heard Zhong Yuncong's unbelievable voice: "It seems to be... the smell of gasoline!"

His words were like thunder on the ground, and when he was shocked, it was no small matter. Zhong Yuncong burst out angrily: "Fuck, it really is a group of psychopaths! This is going to set fire to the mountain!"

Su Xian's face was as sinking as water, and he turned his head to look, and there were flames shooting into the sky from the outskirts of the forest more than ten meters away.

No wonder "Shadow" fights and retreats, it turned out to be this idea!

The cunning rabbit has three caves. Therefore, there is a way to hunt rabbits, which is to block one exit of the rabbit hole, light a fire to smoke one exit, and the rabbit will naturally escape from the third exit. The hunter only needs to wait in front of the third hole. Can.

Undoubtedly, the "Shadow" people treated them as rabbits at this moment. As Su Xian said, they didn't get any benefits from the previous shootout, so they made a comeback in a different way.

It is more likely that, from the very beginning, it was just throwing stones and asking for directions, to find out the truth.

I just said that the terrain here is favorable, but when the fire was set on the opposite side, they are located in the downwind. The forest was originally a piece of dead branches and leaves. After adding fuel to the fire, it became even more unstoppable. The flames roared and raged in the forest, spreading quickly I'm afraid it won't take long for the fire to approach here.

Several people felt the scorching heat.

If this continues, they will all turn into roast suckling pigs in a short time.

"What should I do..." Xiao Tao panicked, and subconsciously approached her most trusted person. Zhong Yuncong patted her on the shoulder and turned to look at Su Xian: "You should have a plan to escape, right?"

Su Xian had a sullen face and didn't answer, he could see through what he was thinking at a glance.

Sure enough, he said, "Take Xiaotao and leave first, she is the youngest and a girl... By the way, she is also the lightest in weight, so the burden is the smallest! If you take her, the chance of escaping is also very high." Much bigger."

He didn't wait for Su Xian to reply, he went to look at Jiang Qiyan again: "Captain Jiang, do you have any objections?"

Jiang Qiyan's originally bloodless face turned a little red from being roasted, he didn't comment on Zhong Yuncong's proposal, he just glanced at Su Xian and smiled faintly: "This kind of thing is of course up to Team Leader Su to decide. "

Su Xian glanced at the turbulent heat wave, and sighed secretly. Under the scorching of high temperature and thick smoke, his lips had grown a lot of dead skin like curled leaves. Zhong Yuncong was right. , He has the ability to protect himself, and on this basis, he can bring one more person at most.

Although he doesn't like Zhong Yuncong very much, there is always a closeness between people. He and Jiang Qiyan have never dealt with each other very much, and they are completely strangers to Xiaotao. Compared with Zhong Yuncong The one with whom he was closest.

It's not that he doesn't want to save Xiaotao, but if Zhong hadn't said that, he would be his first choice. After that, if there is still time, he will come back and try his best to take the other two away.

But he did.

He seemed to have no other choice.

Now that it's decided, let's not delay.Su Xian beckoned to Xiaotao: "Let's go, I'll take you out first."

What no one expected was that the girl shook her head firmly: "I refuse."

Zhong Yuncong became anxious: "Xiao Tao, now is not the time to talk about loyalty, don't be stupid..."

"I didn't do anything stupid," Xiaotao sighed, "It's just that if I escaped and you... if something happened to you, I will never forgive myself."

"I hope everyone can escape."

Escape from birth, this is of course everyone's wish.But I can only think about it.

Everyone didn't say anything to break her unrealistic fantasy, but there was a wry smile on their lips. Zhong Yuncong planned to continue persuading her earnestly, but she heard her asking Su Xian: "Mr. Su, can you pass through this place?" Is there a fire?"

"I can control the wind, or control the airflow, but I can't take everyone with me." Su Xian replied truthfully, he glanced at it, and his voice was a little lower, "My subordinates are on their way, but I can't take them with you." It's not clear when they will arrive... Also, my powers usually don't last long, so..."

"Then if we can find a place to hide temporarily, it will be fine when your subordinates come?" Xiao Tao said with a serious face, Su Xian felt more and more that she was whimsical, but he didn't lose her face too much: "Talk That's what I said..."

Xiaotao grabbed Zhong Yuncong's clothes in a snap: "Brother, that ability of yours... can be used to detect terrain?"

Both Zhong Yuncong and Su Xian were stunned.

"You mean..." Su Xian quickly understood what she meant, "Let him find out if there is a firebreak nearby?"

Xiaotao nodded, and looked at Zhong Yuncong expectantly.

At such a critical moment, even though Zhong Yuncong didn't have much confidence, he nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll try!"

His tone was so firm that even Jiang Qiyan had hope.

Zhong Yuncong smiled and lay down on the ground. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard Su Xian's voice: "Don't force yourself too much."

He glanced at him, lowered his eyes, and was also looking at him. For a moment, his eyes met, and each other's thoughts were clear.

It's not that Su Xian is not worried. Although he is not good at spiritual powers, he also knows that excessive use of powers is definitely not an easy task for the superpowers themselves. Besides, Zhong has performed supernormally once before and was seriously injured. Unhealed, to detect the terrain through tactile force, for him, it may be overwhelming.

Zhong Yun could naturally see his unspoken worries, his heart felt warm, and his lips moved a few times.

Su Xian understood his lips - "I'm fine."

whatever.He closed his eyes.

In order to increase the contact area as much as possible, his face was also attached to the ground. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and his tactile force began to extend to the surroundings along with the ground.

His thinking and senses also traveled around with the tactile force, passing through the soil layer, bypassing the roots, and even crossing the sea of ​​fire, tirelessly searching for a place to survive.

Su Xian squatted down and stared at his face closely, wondering if the heat wave was coming, his forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in pain.

At that moment, he almost wanted to forcibly stop the process.

But when his eyes touched his fingers stuck in the mud, he gave up again.

This guy must be working hard now, right?

After a while, Zhong Yuncong still had no intention of waking up, but the high temperature and thick smoke were approaching, Jiang Qiyan and Xiaotao were both choked to death, and they still coughed heart-piercingly while covering their mouths and noses.

Su Xian was also very uncomfortable. He began to count down silently, from ten to one, and gave him the last ten seconds. If he couldn't do it, he would take him away immediately.

"Seven, six, five..." The thick smoke hit, and people could barely open their eyes. The people in his sight became more and more blurred, and he began to count down to the last three times, "Three, two..."

"Northeast." Just when everyone had almost given up hope, they suddenly heard a familiar voice, "There is a stream over there, about 100 meters away from here."

Su Xian hurriedly helped him up: "Okay, then let's go there."

Zhong Yuncong's tears flowed from the smoke, but he still nodded: "Ahem... Hurry up... You carry Captain Jiang on your back, cough cough... Xiaotao, follow me, we have to run fast ..."

Those two people were speechless, Su Xian didn't waste any more time, and directly carried Jiang Qiyan on his back, while Zhong Yuncong took Xiaotao's hand.

"I will open the way ahead, and you will follow behind. We must run to the water source in the shortest time!"

"Understand."

The next minute may be the most thrilling minute of their lives.At least for Xiaotao, it was like this.

Su Xian is almost like a god descending from the earth, splitting a passage from the sea of ​​fire like Moses piercing through the Red Sea. The surrounding flames kept burning and jumping, like a ferocious beast imprisoned in a cage, constantly chasing after it Behind them, trying to devour them, but always failed.

But to her, Zhong Yuncong is the hero in her heart.

He held her hand tightly and never let go, just like this he led her through this thrilling road to survival.

When the people from the Management Bureau arrived, the fire in the dense forest was already out of control.

"Damn!!! Are we late?" "Poodle" looked pale at the surging sea of ​​flames, and tearfully grabbed Xiang Yu's arm, "Isn't the boss already turned into a roast suckling pig?"

"...I know you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth." Xiang Yu shook her off angrily, "You think the boss is you?"

He said and opened the car door: "Bingyi, it's up to you."

The car door opened, and a thin woman came down. Naturally, she also noticed the big fire in the distance, and stuck out her tongue: "Such a big fire, even I am a bit choked up."

"Don't run away!" Xiang Yu held one of her shoulders, "Although the boss has great powers, it is impossible for us to do nothing since we are here...Let's go!"

The short lady with messy hair wanted to give some instructions, but Xiang Yu had already jumped down the steep slope with Bingyi, and at the same time left a sentence: "Take the others to the forest and head towards the direction of the fire. , The boss has said that there are 'shadow' people there, you get rid of those people and try to keep them alive."

"Poodle" stared at their backs in a daze, and muttered: "If you want to do something, then I'd better not drag you down..."

The wind whimpered, and Xiang Yu held a woman in his arms up and down in the canopy. The woman went into battle with both hands and feet, and her whole body hung on him like an octopus.

She froze in disbelief: "Xiang Yu, can you tell me in advance! I have a fear of heights!"

Xiang Yu's eardrums were poisoned, and he felt helpless.

Who would have thought that this hopeless patient with fear of heights was actually one of the famous "Snow and Fire" of the Administration Bureau?

"Bingyi" is the legendary god of water, but in the "isolated island", it is the code name of a person.

Undoubtedly, Bingyi who works in the Management Bureau is also a supernatural person. As for her ability, as the name suggests, it is to control water.

Bingyi's ability is not small, and she is also one of the most outstanding supernatural beings in the No. [-] security station, but what Xiang Yu urgently needs at the moment is her most practical ability - fire fighting.

"Yo, this is quite a fire! Bah!" Bingyi's long hair was blown into her mouth by the wind, and she couldn't take it out, so she tried to spit it out while talking, "Who put it... ...Destroying the environment is really... bah bah!"

Xiang Yu was quite speechless to this woman who was babbling: "It's probably the 'Shadow' guys."

"Speaking of which, the team leader is okay, I'm really worried about such a big fire... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The distance from the soaring flames was getting closer and closer, Xiang Yu looked at the time and landed on the periphery of the fire. As soon as they touched the ground, the two of them were almost blinded by the oncoming heat wave.

Xiang Yu covered his face with his sleeve and urged: "Hurry up!"

He said it nicely, but he was also anxious in his heart.

After all, this fire is really too fierce.

Bingyi patted his chest: "Look at it!"

After she looked around, she looked a bit troubled: "There is no water source around here... just some snow on the branches, this amount may not be enough to extinguish such a big fire."

Xiang Yu didn't make a sound, he knew her ability very well, after all, water is everywhere.

Sure enough, Bingyi patted his forehead, and said with a big grin: "However, how can such a trivial matter trouble this lady!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands flat, palms up, and her ten fingers moved slightly, as if she was calling for something.

A moment later, there was a glint of water in her eyes, and Xiang Yu thought about it, and suddenly heard Bingyi's reminder: "Hey, please take a few steps back."

He did as he said, and looked at the position where he was standing, the layer of dead branches on the ground was about to move, as if something was about to break through the ground.

After a while, those dead branches and the underlying soil were violently washed away by a force, and a stream of water with an earthy smell gushed out, like a sudden rainstorm, and the cool water droplets splashed on Xiang Yu's head and face .

Bingyisu pointed with her finger, and the towering water column acted like a tame beast, following her will.

That water column was directly directed above the fire, and under Bingyi's control, it became a "timely rain", and began to fight against the raging fire.

This is the power of supernatural powers.

Looking at the inexhaustible flow of water, Xiang Yu was also amazed in his heart, Frozen End's supernatural ability was so powerful that it could even control the water of the underground river hidden deep in the ground.

The reserves of underground water are very rich. Under Bingyi's control, this continuous small-scale rainfall finally overwhelmed the fire.

And Xiang Yu and others immediately launched a search and rescue operation.

>>>

After the [-]-meter sprint, Zhong Yuncong and the four of them got their wish and rushed to the stream.

The stream is actually very shallow, and the water volume is not too large, but for the four people who are burning with anxiety, it is completely life-saving water.

After the whole body was soaked in water, the anxious respiratory tract finally got a little relief.

The stream became a natural firebreak, blocking the raging fire. After they crossed it, they found a safe place on the opposite side and collapsed on the ground.

They all described themselves in a state of distress, with disheveled hair, jet-black faces, and burned-out clothes.

"My hair...seems to have been burnt a lot..." Zhong Yuncong played with a strand of curly and scorched sideburns, feeling rejoiced while feeling annoyed, "Fortunately, my face wasn't burned..."

Su Xian snorted: "If it burns out, it will burn out. Does anyone want to see it?"

He smiled weakly and replied, "Don't burn yours..."

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself first."

"Although you don't want to see me, I want to see you."

Su Xian didn't expect that at such a juncture, this guy was still in the mood to make fun of him. He choked hard, and couldn't think of how to answer him for a while, but Jiang Qiyan, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly: "What time is it?" , you are still in the mood to flirt."

Zhong Yuncong Dale: "Has Captain Jiang noticed all this?"

"...Jiang Qiyan, are you looking for a beating?" He just had an outlet to vent his anger, and immediately turned his gun, Jiang Qiyan snorted coldly: "Come on, I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Facing his questioning, the corner of Su Xian's eyes glanced over the panicked Xiao Tao without showing any trace, but he sneered back: "Why don't you ask yourself? Your poor picket team has made a lot of enemies, right?"

Jiang Qiyan also let out a cold snort: "To each other, your public security station will not give way too much."

Zhong Yuncong watched the two of them flirting with each other, and found it very interesting. These two guys had just escaped from birth, and they quarreled without a moment's delay.

Maybe it was because they were in the wilderness, these two even abandoned the hypocritical politeness, and they were ready to fight at any time like two black-eyed chickens.

He was enjoying watching the excitement from the other side, but the kind-hearted Xiao Tao couldn't help trying to persuade her to fight: "The two of you should stop arguing for now, after all... you are not completely out of danger yet."

Su Xian still gave the little girl some face, he folded his arms and turned sideways: "Forget it, it depends on whether you are going to die or not, this time I won't care about you."

Jiang Qiyan was unwilling to let it go. Today he struggled several times on the verge of life and death, but at the same time he was worried: "Who the hell? They provoked such a group of monsters... and took the lives of my subordinates!"

Xiao Tao's face turned pale immediately, Jiang Qiyan noticed it, and the way he stared at her changed immediately: "Is it you?"

Seeing that he was about to attack, the girl took a step back in panic, but at this time, someone stood in front of her: "Hey, Captain Jiang, if you want to settle accounts, you have found the wrong person, you should go to 'Shadow' yes."

The picket leader was still furious: "If it wasn't for her..."

"If it wasn't for her, you would have died a long time ago." Zhong Yuncong said lightly, "Treat your savior with a better attitude."

Jiang Qiyan looked at the girl incredulously, but the girl lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"That's enough, Jiang Qiyan, I'll put it away if you have a fire. When I go back, I will get entangled with the people and go to 'Shadow' to settle the score." Su Xian smoothed things out lightly, "If you are afraid, you can also ask our governance bureau for help."

Captain Jiang glared: "Who do you say is afraid?"

Su Xian heard that his voice was much hoarse than usual, knowing that he might have been choked by the smoke into his trachea, so he still had the energy to make trouble, so he admired him a lot.

He walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, my voice is hoarse, just be quiet for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qiyan fell limply under his invisible knife.

Zhong Yuncong picked out his ears: "It's much quieter now."

Xiaotao lowered her eyes and looked sad.

"Huh?" Zhong Yun suddenly noticed a spectacular water column in the distance from the sharp eyes. He suddenly got up and pointed at the suspended waterfall excitedly, "What is that? Rainstorm or waterfall?"

Su Xian also looked over, with a clear smile on his lips: "It seems that the rescuers have arrived."
