Chapter 136 Raid
Chapter 136 Raid
Since taking Tong Yusheng's advice, Pei Hanxing has been staying in the ice house to organize the data left behind at the base and help take care of the ability users who were injured while fighting the ice wolves.
"Resources are limited, so we have to use them sparingly. Your method of covering the wound with ice to stop the bleeding is quite effective!" Zhao Qingshan gave the injured person a rabies vaccine. Seeing the ice on the wolf bite wound on the victim's leg, she smiled and said to Pei Hanxing, who was disinfecting it nearby. "And you are particularly concerned about hygiene, which is fantastic! If those slovenly men weren't here in this freezing weather, they would have been covered in flies by now!"
Zhao Qingshan's description was so vivid that Pei Hanxing paused for a moment to shake the image out of her mind before continuing to disinfect her hands as if nothing had happened.
"Speaking of which, Qi Xiangwan is too violent. The man-eating flowers she planted are growing so fast that they've reached the bottom of my igloo. Now I worry every night that the house will collapse, and if another meteorite comes, I might get crushed to death while I'm sleeping. I've been sleeping with her these past two days. She looks so thin and small, but she grinds her teeth and snores at night. I'm being tortured to death." Zhao Qingshan rambled on and on, taking advantage of the patient's momentary lapse in attention, she quickly stitched up the wound with a needle in her fingertips. The patient's expression contorted for a moment, and she screamed, but Dr. Zhao was quick enough that the scream quickly stopped.
“Insidious, insidious…” The victim lay there with tears in his eyes, his face as white as paper.
"That's called strategy." Zhao Qingshan chuckled, put the medical equipment aside to be disinfected later, took off her gloves, and walked over to Pei Hanxing to wash her hands.
“I can help you fix the house,” Pei Hanxing said in a low voice.
"Huh? But didn't Captain Tong say you shouldn't show your face so Yulia wouldn't bother you?" Zhao Qingshan asked in surprise, then smiled and gently lifted Pei Hanxing's chin with her index finger. "Little brother is too handsome, no wonder the princess of the Bear Kingdom can't forget him."
Pei Hanxing turned his head away from her fingers, knowing that Zhao Qingshan meant no harm and was just teasing him, "I have a girlfriend."
Saying that word openly and honestly made Pei Hanxing's ears turn slightly red.
"Yo yo yo, tsk tsk tsk, wow wow wow." Seeing the shy Pei Hanxing, Zhao Qingshan couldn't help but make a series of strange noises, took out his useless personal computer and took a picture of her, which earned him a glare from Pei Hanxing.
"Great! Send it to your girlfriend when the signal comes back, and she'll be unaffected by the long-distance relationship!" Zhao Qingshan gave a thumbs up.
Pei Hanxing remained silent for a moment, then raised his personal terminal. "Add a communication number."
Zhao Qingshan laughed heartily, then deftly added the communication number and sent it to Pei Hanxing via face-to-face transmission.
Pei Hanxing saved the photos before changing the subject, "I haven't seen her these past few days, she's just been near the base, she'll be fine."
"Then thank you in advance, Captain Pei." Zhao Qingshan didn't refuse again. She was also a level three light-type, mainly for healing, but her combat power was not weak. When the time came, she would bring along Qi Xiangwan, a level three wood-type. The three level threes could run away and inform a level four even if they faced one.
Zhao Qingshan didn't believe Mikhail would really dare to kill Pei Hanxing. After all, China was now the only country in the world with two Level 5 powers, so Russia had to treat them with respect.
Mikhail did not dare to take action openly, but he was also adept at using the tactic of diverting trouble. After being targeted once again by the leader of the level four ice-type field wolves, he led his pack to the camp in China, ostensibly to "seek support".
"Mikhail!" Yulia glared angrily at Mikhail, who was deliberately attacking the mother wolf and her cubs. "This isn't what we planned!"
The Ice Wolf attacks have troubled China and Russia. The two sides had originally planned to cooperate tonight, with Tong Yusheng joining forces with Mikhail to eliminate the Level 4 Ice Wolf leader and resolve a major threat near their base.
But now Mikhail has attacked the wolf pack ahead of time, attracting the wolf pack's pursuit. Tong Yusheng is still in the ambush and arranging logistics, and is unaware of this.
"What's the difference? What does it matter if it's a little earlier or later?" Mikhail said casually.
"There are still wounded people at their base who haven't been evacuated!" Yulia kicked him in dissatisfaction.
Mikhail seized Yulia's ankle and pulled her into his arms, shielding her from the biting wind. He whispered words tinged with bloodlust, "It's better that those useless trash are dead, saving us from wasting resources."
With no idea when communications will be restored or resources will be replenished, Mikhail naturally follows the law of the jungle: the weak are better off dying than dragging down the strong. Even low-level ability users are no different from ordinary people in his eyes, who is at a higher level.
When the alarm sounded, Pei Hanxing had just arrived at Dr. Zhao Qingshan's igloo and hadn't even started repairing it when she was confronted by the first wave of wolves.
A pack of wolves surrounded the igloos on the outskirts of the Chinese garrison, their blue eyes gleaming eerily like will-o'-the-wisps on an icy plain, ready to devour and burn them.
Zhao Qingshan calmly emitted a beam of light into the sky as a warning, informing Tong Yusheng of the wolf pack's attack and its exact location. Her unusual movement provoked the wolf pack to attack first, with one of them moving extremely fast, closing in on her with its blood-red maw in the blink of an eye.
So fast!
Zhao Qingshan's mind flashed back to the bite marks and lacerations on the legs and arms of the patients she treated. No wonder they couldn't avoid it!
"Thorn-"
"Roar!!!" The Ice Wolf roared, shards of ice shimmering around its mouth. After its first attack failed, it quickly changed direction, bypassing the ice shield that suddenly appeared in front of it, and went to attack Zhao Qingshan.
An ice shield appeared in front of Zhao Qingshan, but was shattered by the sharp teeth of the ice wolf. Zhao Qingshan did not retreat or dodge. Pei Hanxing had already replaced the ice shield and switched from defense to offense. Ice blades bursting from his palm stabbed at the ice wolf. Zhao Qingshan cooperated by shining light into the ice wolf's eyes.
The blinding white light temporarily blinded the direwolf, making it unable to judge the direction of the ice blade. It was then killed when the crystal-clear yet incredibly sharp ice blade severed its throat.
The death of their companion aroused the wolves' bloodlust, and they howled as they attacked the two men.
Pei Hanxing's eyes flashed, and she stomped her foot on the ice-covered ground. Suddenly, gleaming ice spikes emerged from the ground, piercing the bellies of many charging dire wolves and pinning them to the ice spikes, rendering them unable to move. However, some dire wolves darted around the ice spikes. The farther away from Pei Hanxing the dire wolves were, the easier it was for them to avoid the spikes, because the distance was greater and the ice spikes were more sparse, making it easy for them to pass through the gaps between the ice spikes.
Pei Hanxing is only level three. She can still fight alone, but the disadvantage of level three ability users is that they are good at group attacks. Without coordination, they are easily exhausted.
Fortunately, he was accompanied by Zhao Qingshan, a natural signal source and a light-elemental ability user, who had already notified the other ability users in the area the moment they encountered the wolf pack.
People arrived one after another to provide support, and Qi Xiangwan was the first to arrive.
