#770 - Chapter 770 Changing Positions
The next day.
Yao Lei was awakened by a stirring, just as dawn was breaking.
She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep around three or four in the morning, exhausted from the long ordeal, suffering minor concussion from the missile's shockwaves on the airship, and constantly maintaining a tense emotional state, finally succumbing after embracing the captain.
She had reached her limit last night.
Where am I...?
She squeezed her sore eyes, barely managing to recall the events of yesterday, and quickly turned her head to look at her captain.
She saw Li Bowen, who had fallen unconscious, staring back at her with his eyes open!
"........"
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
Feeling the comforting warmth of the man beside her, Yao Lei paused for a moment before quickly shrinking back, scrambling out of the blanket to get dressed.
"That's great, Captain! You're finally awake!"
At the same time, she didn't forget to excitedly shout at the captain, who seemed to have regained consciousness!
The captain pulled through!!!
This is just wonderful!!
"......"
Li Bowen looked at the female teammate who had just finished dressing, her face still flushed, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
He had woken up an hour earlier.
Feeling a soft, warm body pressed tightly against him, and seeing the blood-stained cloths in the room, along with the cutting pain all over his body, he immediately understood that Yao Lei had saved him.
This female teammate...
"Thank you."
After a long silence, he finally uttered these words.
No other words seemed suitable for this moment.
Compared to the taciturn Li, Yao Lei was much more excited, her eyes filled with tears as she wanted to hug her captain and release the helplessness and fear she had felt yesterday.
Thank heavens!
The captain didn't die!
The little rationality she had left stopped her from rushing over to hug Li Bowen, otherwise, the latter might have died from his wounds being aggravated...
Next.
Yao Lei quickly recounted what had happened after Li Bowen was affected by the near-miss missile explosion yesterday.
Only then did Captain Li understand that he had been saved more than once...
I can't repay this favor.
"My current condition is very bad..., my body is almost unable to move, and I also have a high fever, and unless something unexpected happens, the wounds on my body are all infected."
After listening, he calmly stated his current physical condition.
As if he were describing someone else, someone completely unrelated.
Only an evolved person with an will far beyond ordinary people, and whose physical strength had been enhanced, could do this.
Anyone else would have probably fainted from the pain.
Hearing this, Yao Lei, whose face was originally full of joy, quickly checked Captain Li, who was still lying on the bed.
Indeed!
Most of the wounds on his body that had been treated looked okay, but seven or eight of the deeper wounds showed signs of worsening with pus seeping out!
Infected and inflamed!
Yet the captain could still describe his situation as if nothing had happened, how strong must his will be!?
As a sentimental woman, Yao Lei's heart ached.
"Let's not talk about this for now, if you have any strength left, please evacuate as soon as possible! This place is not suitable to stay! Regardless of whether that helicopter was driven away by our people, they are likely to return to the place where we crashed to search!"
Li Bowen said a lot in one breath, and after finishing, he used all his strength and fainted again!
"Captain!!!"
Yao Lei exclaimed softly and quickly stepped forward to check on him, after confirming that the captain was still alive, she gritted her teeth and quickly moved around the room!
The captain is not dead, and he is right, this place is not suitable to stay any longer, we must evacuate quickly!
She used the fastest speed to make a backpack out of the quilt and various cloth strips in the room!
And carefully rolled Li Bowen into it.
That's right!
She was going to carry the captain out to seek medical help elsewhere!
Before leaving, she seemed to remember something, quickly ran to the roof of the building and drew some strange patterns and texts.
Then she came back, destroyed or took away everything in the room that might reveal their information, and then carried Li Bowen on her back and walked down the building.
Walking down the stairs of this ten-story building, Yao Lei bit her teeth hard.
Li Bowen and those cushioning warmers on her back weighed at least 170 pounds!!
You know, Li Bowen is a super-evolved person who has injected D-serum twice!
The muscle and bone density of his body is definitely much stronger than ordinary people.
The corresponding weight will not be light.
Don't look at him as thin, but his weight is 1.3 times that of people of the same size!
"Yao Lei! Come on! You can do it!!"
Yao Lei moved her steps with difficulty, while also guarding against the dangers that might appear around her at any time.
In her left hand was a pistol, a life-saving weapon that she, as a core combat member, would carry with her at all times when performing tasks outside, no matter what the situation.
It is also a tool for self-termination in certain situations.
In her right hand was a fine steel dagger, which is also an essential item for every Green Source combat member.
In addition to these two weapons, there were only 5 grenades and the dagger she had taken from the captain.
As the captain of the combat unit, Li Bowen would normally have a sidearm, but it was nowhere to be seen at this time. Yao Lei guessed that it was likely shaken off by multiple bombardments, or accidentally lost when the airship crashed.
There is no way to get it back.
These are currently the only weapons they have.
Fortunately, after more than a year of long-term high-intensity training in the apocalypse, this kind of "weight-bearing" task can barely be supported by Yao Lei, who was once just a weak woman.
After a lot of effort, she finally carried Li Bowen out of the ten-story building safely and appeared on an empty street in Yonghua City.
"Huff-huff-huff-"
Yao Lei only dared to breathe heavily through her nose, for fear that too much noise would attract unnecessary trouble.
There were only three magazines with a total of forty-five bullets in the pistol, and unless she encountered a situation where things could not be done, she wanted to keep them as a trump card.
In normal situations, try to use a dagger.
She looked at the street, which was getting brighter and brighter. It was already past 7 o'clock, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, and it was impossible to see that these places were still full of wandering zombies more than an hour ago.
Those ghosts don't know where to hide after the sun comes out.
"Captain! You must hold on! I won't let you die!"
Yao Lei bit her silver teeth, took a deep breath and began to walk towards the end of the street.
She was going to take Li Bowen to a new temporary safe house, and then find anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics to save him!
She must not let the man she loves die!
Absolutely!
