Jingle.

The blood-stained short knife fell to the ground, and there were also empty anesthetic injections, beam therapy devices, hemostatic spray and bandages scattered on the ground.

Jiang Jianming took off the disposable non-toxic gloves and threw them on the ground.He stepped across the mess and said wearily: "Someone clean it up."

"Rest for another half an hour, and then we'll head back."

The wind and snow outside were still howling, and the smell of blood in the marching tent had not dissipated.

Before he could say a word, the teammates who were sitting by the side in a daze all exploded.

"Back...return!?" Joe screamed first, "Jiang Jianming, are you kidding, that big guy doesn't know when he will appear, and we are still going back!?"

Ellie spread her hands anxiously: "Yes, it's finally safe now, can't we wait for the rescue of the fortress!?"

"No." Jiang Jianming sat down on the side, and slowly tightened his coat, "Rescue and alien creatures, it is very likely that the latter will come first, we must not lose the initiative."

"That……"

Joe's eyes widened: "—then you're going to push us to seek death!?"

"That thing... that thing... we are really going to die!!"

Jiang Jianming had no expression on his face, and said: "No. I don't have the strength to speak now, and I will talk about the specific plan later."

Joe stood there in a daze, staring and panting.

This is embarrassing and a little pathetic.

He pestered for almost half a minute, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and suddenly said: "Jiang Jianming... Let me tell you, we have endured you for a long time."

"A crippled human being," Joe raised his head abruptly, cursing in a rough voice, "You put on such a noble face every day, what do you think you are, the military adviser of all of us!? Or our commander, our commander!Commander!?"

The barrage of curses was so sudden that Ellie next to her was taken aback by Joe's outburst, "Hey! Joe, you...what's wrong with you?"

But the latter didn't even give her a look... Obviously, the fear and uneasiness brought about by a series of accidents completely crushed this young man who wasn't strong at all.

He suddenly jumped up, with a strange excited red light on his face, pointed at Jiang Jianming's nose and cursed a series of words: "When we were fighting the giant spider, what else could you do besides shouting at us to retreat!?"

"If our team had one less disabled human and one more new human, maybe it wouldn't be like this at all!!"

"Even when saving Bemaner, didn't you choose to escape by yourself and let your brain go back to save others!? You are also a selfish guy, who are you pretending to show!?"

"..."

Jiang Jianming rubbed his forehead with a headache.

The most common mental breakdown among recruits, he thought.

It's not surprising that he encountered a strong enemy when he first entered the battlefield.

Originally, Yin Beidou set up a one-year adaptation period to avoid this kind of situation, but unfortunately, this time it was indeed an unexpected tragedy.

Jiang Jianming thought slowly, he took out the emergency energy water from the combat bag beside him, unscrewed the lid and drank the water.

"Joe!"

Instead, Li Youfang stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Are you out of your mind? After all, you weren't the one who alarmed the subspecies when you fell!? Wasn't you the one who ran away in fright!?"

But Joe has lost control of his emotions, "I didn't mean to!!"

He turned his head, put a smile on his face, and turned to push Tang Zhen: "Hey, Tang Zhen, you talk too, you have to think clearly..."

He waved his hands, as if he was trying to convince him, "If Jiang Jianming used the snow dove to save Bemaner immediately and let her get treatment, then she would not need amputation! You actually think so, right?"

"..." Tang Zhen didn't respond. Since the moment Jiang Jianming's dagger fell on Bemaner's right leg, he no longer reacted to the outside world.

He sat on the side with blank eyes, as if he had turned into a walking dead.

Joe became even more excited, and malice grew in his twisted heart: "Look, even your friends don't protect you anymore."

He turned his head away again, impatient to see the hurt expression on Jiang Jianming's usual leisurely brows and eyes.

Unexpectedly, it was not Jiang Jianming who responded to him.

It was a weak and hoarse female voice.

"……Shut up."

Bemaner looked up and opened her eyes, her eyes dim.

She moved her lips, "...a coward."

The stagnant air in the tent was like a piece of brittle glass, broken by her voice in an uproar.

Tang Zhen raised his head suddenly, and several other people also turned their astonished gazes——

"Maner?"

"Man'er, are you awake!?"

Bemaner tried her best to raise her head... She was still lying flat on the makeshift "bed", her right calf had been amputated, and was wrapped in layers of blood-stained bandages.

"then……"

She tightly clutched the corner of her blood-stained clothes, and said hoarsely, word by word:

"At that time, when that giant spider rushed towards me, it was so sudden that no one could save me."

"Only Jiang student, he asked me to jump mecha, I listened."

In the slightly dim tent, Bemaner's voice trembled unwillingly: "If it wasn't for Jiang, it wouldn't be my legs pierced by the spider silk, but my head."

Not reconciled... how can be reconciled?

Ambitiously marching to the front line, endured so many days of hard training, and shouldered the expectations of his teammates as the captain.

However, he lost half of his leg in such a vulnerable and disastrous defeat to the subspecies that suddenly appeared.

After losing her entire right leg, she can still...

Can you still stay in Yinbeidou?

"Student Jiang..."

Bemaner bit his bloodless lips, tears welled up in his eyes, "You have a way to get us out of this dangerous situation, right?"

The surroundings were silent for a while, and Joe stood there like a clown who failed to perform, with colorful faces on his face.

And Jiang Jianming looked down at the wrist phone, and said lightly: "...There are still twenty-three minutes."

He raised his eyes again, and said succinctly: "You can do whatever you want. If you want to quarrel or fight, go outside."

No one in the tent made any more noise.

After a while, Tang Zhen suddenly got up and slapped himself hard.

He didn't speak, gritted his teeth, and staggered into the wind and snow outside.

Li Youfang said in shock: "Hey! Don't..."

"—let him go."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes in the corner and said, "It's not a bad thing to wake up your mind."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a sip of the energy water, then waved his hands calmly, "Don't worry, he won't be stupid and run away, the young master of the Tang family isn't that cowardly yet."

Bemaner coughed weakly.

She turned sideways and whispered with a pale face, "Student Jiang, don't... don't be angry with Young Master Tang... May I apologize to you on his behalf."

"No, not angry."

Jiang Jianming sighed softly, and screwed on the cap of the energy water bottle, "If I was really angry, I would have scolded or beaten him long ago, don't think about it."

Several people stopped talking, and even Joe sat down numbly and began to eat compressed food.They are seizing this little time to recover their strength.

It took almost ten minutes for Tang Zhen to come back. His face was smeared with icicles, and he was extremely embarrassed, but his mental state seemed to have improved... At least, he turned from a walking dead back to a living person.

He stood in front of Jiang Jianming, with shame in his gloomy expression, he hesitated and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"I just……"

Jiang Jianming glanced at him lightly.

He casually patted Tang Zhen on the shoulder, "You've been outside longer than I thought, aren't you cold?... Not cold, take off your coat for me, I'm cold."

Tang Zhen: "..."

After a while, it's time.

Jiang Jianming, wearing Tang Zhen's coat, waved to the rest of the people, motioning for them to come over.

He turned on his wrist phone and found out the three-dimensional projection of the map for several people to see.

"Come on, listen to me."

Jiang Jianming had clear eyes and a calm demeanor: "It's impossible to run to low altitudes. The subspecies came from there. If we continue to go deeper, we don't know what else we will encounter. We can only retreat in the direction of the fortress."

...It's very strange, he is obviously a military student who has just left school, and it should be the first time to design a battle plan in a difficult situation, but his tone is so natural that he seems to have repeated it thousands of times in his previous life.

Ellie raised her hand and gestured: "Then, if we launch into the air in a flying state, can we bypass that subspecies from a high altitude?"

"...that's enough."

Li Youfang's face was livid: "The few of us ran too far...Adding the energy consumption of the mecha just now, even if the backup energy is included, it is not enough for us to fly back to the fortress in flying state."

Tang Zhen: "Besides, there are alien creatures at high altitudes. We are not used to air combat. In case we encounter more difficult things..." He shook his head and closed his mouth.

"That's right," Jiang Jianming nodded, coughing twice, "but if we retreat while fighting all the way, our physical strength will not last, so the key to retreat is how to stop this subspecies...we can't followIt plays the game of chasing me."

Jiang Jianming reached out and clicked on the projection, and drew a circle at the exit of the canyon when they came: "Look here."

Several teammates couldn't help but look at the man's fingers.

On the map, it is the narrowest part of the canyon.

The front is the way, and the back is the low basin where they found the subspecies, which is like the neck of a round bottom flask.

"Let's use the mecha to rush through the subspecies first. Of course, this will cause it to attack. It doesn't matter, we will stick to this place..."

Jiang Jianming clicked a red cross icon here.

He said in a deep voice: "Then, blow up the side of this valley."

Everyone was shocked, and the sound of air-conditioning sounded.Jiang Jianming didn't move, and continued: "Let the falling rocks pile up here to block the way."

"I'm not sure if the subspecies can be shut down completely, but at least, there must be no problem blocking it for a while."

"Blow up... blow up the valley!?"

"What's going on-"

Jiang Jianming: "Before I set off, I bought two medium-sized particle explosive bombs."

The original intention was to make up for his lack of combat power, but now there are other uses.

"This thing was originally a new crystal tool for alien creatures, so it shouldn't be a problem to blow up a mountain."

"This……"

Several people were stunned and looked at each other.

The so-called "time, place and people are in harmony", the importance of correctly using geographical conditions in combat, everyone has learned in school.

But now it's a life-and-death moment. When others are either breaking down or crying, it's not something ordinary people can come up with...

Tang Zhen's face brightened, and he muttered in surprise: "It seems to work...it works! If it can really blow up..."

"But there is a problem."

Jiang Jianming interrupted him, and looked back at the bed. Bemaner had already fallen asleep again, breathing shallowly, which made people feel flustered.

"We now have one wounded, and Bemaner's injuries are too serious, and the violent battle bumps will cause the wound to burst and continue to lose blood, and she can't risk it."

"So, Tang Zhen."

Jiang Jianming named the young master of the Tang family, "Take Bemaner away, use the flying shock to fly over the subspecies, and stop at the entrance of the canyon."

"The remaining four people use land-state shocks to break through forcefully to attract the attention of the subspecies. We will drive the mech and run to the entrance of the canyon."

Tang Zhen was shocked: "Xiao Jiang!?"

Ellie said in a daze, "Forcibly break through...can we do it?"

Joe grew even paler.He seemed to want to refute something again, but he was speechless for a long time.

"No, this division of labor is unreasonable!"

Li Youfang retorted, "You might as well take Bemaner and go first! Tang Zhen's crystal bone is the strongest among us, he should stay. And your physical fitness is not suitable for fighting anymore..."

Jiang Jianming looked firm and unmoving: "This is my plan, and all personnel are arranged to listen to me."

He took out a black grenade from his combat bag and handed it to Tang Zhen.

"It will detonate upon receiving my signal, be careful when using it."

Tang Zhen's mouth was dry and he couldn't help swallowing.

He felt that the thing in his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties.

"Xiao Jiang." He whispered, "You...can you tell me the truth, how sure are you?"

Jiang Jianming thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Guess for yourself," he said.

...

Moments later, the tent was put away.

Several people came out, stepping on a layer of snow and ice.

"Really..." Joe's teeth were chattering, and his hands and feet were cold, "

Do you really want to rush over like this?"

Suddenly, he felt a gaze fall on him.

Jiang Jianming was standing under the mecha and looking over.Snow particles brushed over his hair, his eyebrows, and those deep eyes.

"Are you scared."

Joe froze for a moment, he was in a trance for a while.

This black-haired, black-eyed remnant crystal human stood in the snow, leaning against the steel mech, and said lightly:

"It's normal to be afraid, and everyone will face their fears at times. So it's not ridiculous to feel fear, it's ridiculous to succumb to fear."

... This is just like a painting, the idea came to Qiao's numb mind for no reason.

Small and vast, fragile and cruel.

Just like a painting, a small flower blooms on the ruins of the last days.

Before parting, Tang Zhen held Jiang Jianming's arm for a long time, and said hoarsely, "...don't have any trouble."

"I believe in your plan, but Man'er has..." He paused, "I beg you."

Jiang Jianming patted him: "Nothing will happen, see you at the mouth of the canyon."

Tang Zhen took a deep breath, and a hard look appeared on his face.

He carried Bemaner into the cockpit and sat in himself.

Soon, the flying IP was lifted into the air in the snowstorm.

"Let's go too. The snow isn't deep yet, and the electric shock can run. If we drag it on, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us... Cough cough..."

Jiang Jianming choked on the cold wind, frowned and started coughing again.

Li Youfang came over.I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, he blocked the strong wind for Jiang Jianming.

"Why don't you drive a snow dove?"

Under the dark sky, Li Youfang had a gloomy face, staring at the remnant crystal human being in front of him that he once looked down upon.

The muscles on his face twitched, he gritted his teeth and said, "Did you stay here to... take care of us?"

"..."

Jiang Jianming took another look at him and seemed to smile.

"no."

He turned around and got into the cockpit, raised his hand and slammed the door, "The energy chips of A-level mechs are very expensive, and the fortress does not include rations. I want to save some."

"If you have time to think about what type of mecha I use, why not think about when you can pay me back."

Li Youfang: "..."

He cursed secretly, patted his cheek hard, turned his head and climbed onto his shock.

In the cockpit, Jiang Jianming carefully checked the data of each item, and finally turned on the communication.

What follows will be a life and death breakout.

"Are you ready, good teammates?"

His voice is cool and the tone is lazy and leisurely.

"Remember, once you start running, you can't stop, especially don't rush into the air. The shock switch will cause a stagnation time of about two seconds, which is too dangerous."

Jiang Jianming squinted, and the screen in front of him listed maps, data, positioning cursors, and communication projections of his teammates. Various numbers and lines dazzled the viewer.

He expertly fastened his seat belt, and his hands in black gloves fell on the console.

Jiang Jianming's eyes were clear, and he gave an order: "Go!"
