Making this decision was actually very difficult for Xu Jinsong.
Because Xu Jinsong was also a loyal and righteous person, his mind was the opposite of his physique – very delicate.
He knew he had made many mistakes, and the only way to redeem himself now was to take Chen Jinzhao out and away from this place of trouble.
Walking back along the way they came, Xu Jinsong did not dare to relax his vigilance for a moment.
It was not until he carried Chen Jinzhao back into the building on the island and then carried him onto the speedboat that Xu Jinsong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They had entered the basement less than five o'clock in the morning, and now it was nine o'clock in the morning.
Looking at the scorching sun overhead, Xu Jinsong clenched his fists tightly.
He hoped Ji Boan and Number Nine could survive, but he also knew it was almost impossible, because the monster codenamed 'x' was really strong. Coupled with the protection of many small monsters around the monster, the most likely outcome was that Ji Boan and Number Nine would die.
Xu Jinsong hesitated for a long time, and finally drove the speedboat away.
"After I take Chen Jinzhao to a safe place, I'll come back to help you," Xu Jinsong muttered to himself, then he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and drove the speedboat to escape the deserted island.
It was not until he arrived at another small island that Xu Jinsong put Chen Jinzhao down.
He left the communicator and the rifle to Chen Jinzhao, and then prepared to return to the island where the laboratory was located to fight alongside Ji Boan and Number Nine.
Of course.
He was prepared for the possibility that both of them had already died.
What Xu Jinsong had to do now was to prevent those monsters, which were neither human nor beast, from escaping, so as to prevent these things from becoming a scourge.
"Where am I?" Chen Jinzhao woke up.
Hearing Chen Jinzhao's cry, Xu Jinsong immediately turned his head to look at Chen Jinzhao and walked forward, saying, "Zhulong, how are you feeling now?"
Chen Jinzhao rubbed his throbbing head, "I'm fine, where are you going?"
Xu Jinsong was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm going back."
"To fight alongside them."
Chen Jinzhao never thought that one day he would be saved with someone's life, and he felt very bad about it.
"How many minutes have passed now?" he asked again.
"About, more than ten minutes..." Xu Jinsong knew what this meant, and that Ji Boan and Number Nine were likely already dead.
Going back now would be in vain.
"But—"
"If I don't go back, how can my heart be at peace?" Xu Jinsong was in great pain.
Wasn't Chen Jinzhao the same?
Xu Jinsong looked at Chen Jinzhao with tears in his eyes, "Tell me, when have we ever suffered such humiliation? If we don't help them get revenge, how can we stand tall as Chinese soldiers in the future?"
"They went with a determination to die," Chen Jinzhao sighed.
Thinking of this.
The two looked at each other in silence, their heavy hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
Just as the two were about to return to the island, they suddenly looked at the island several kilometers away, and then saw waves rising from the sea. Chen Jinzhao's face changed drastically and he said, "We can't go back now, let's find a place to hide."
Xu Jinsong's pupils suddenly contracted.
The laboratory was blown up, which should have been caused by Ji Boan and Number Nine detonating some devices.
The waves on the sea surface rose more than ten meters high, spreading in all directions.
Finally, a small mushroom cloud rose from the direction of the island, directly blowing the entire island to pieces. Both Chen Jinzhao and Xu Jinsong were hit by a large amount of wave impact.
After more than ten minutes, the sea surface gradually returned to calm.
Chen Jinzhao and Xu Jinsong were completely drenched. They looked at the island that had been destroyed by the explosion, their complex emotions difficult to describe.
"You were wrong," Chen Jinzhao murmured.
"You are the real big shots!"
At this moment.
Ji Boan and Number Nine had completed their redemption.
Chen Jinzhao reacted and immediately contacted Xu Hanchen through the communicator. Xu Hanchen said as soon as he spoke, "Are you on the sea surface of the Northeast Domain? We just detected an explosion near the border line. Was it you or a neighboring country?"
"Elder Xu, it's like this..."
Chen Jinzhao, enduring his weakness, explained the situation.
Xu Hanchen's face turned ashen, "You were too reckless, you should have discussed countermeasures with me first, instead of acting rashly."
"You stay there for now, and I'll send someone to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you, Elder Xu."
Xu Hanchen was already overwhelmed with work.
A massive explosion occurred on their own border line. If this matter was not handled properly, it would definitely trigger a new round of crisis.
So now he couldn't bother with Chen Jinzhao and could only deal with the major event first.
After ending the contact.
Chen Jinzhao suggested going to the island to have a look, he wanted to confirm if that monster was dead.
Xu Jinsong had no objection.
The two drove the speedboat around the nearby waters for a few laps, and only when they found the broken limbs of the monster did the weight on their hearts finally ease.
"How about, I don't go back?" Xu Jinsong said.
Meeting Chen Jinzhao's gaze, he continued, "I really don't have the face to see them, and I don't want them to know that I was actually a traitor."
Chen Jinzhao's eyes instantly became sharp, "Xu Jinsong, do you want to be a coward? Or are you afraid to face your past? The only thing you need to do now is to go back with me and tell Elder Xu your situation in detail."
"But..."
Xu Jinsong stopped speaking.
Chen Jinzhao said in a deep voice, "Running away is shameful, and it doesn't solve any problems! You'd better think about what Number Three said before he died, does this decision of yours honor him?"
"No," Xu Jinsong immediately deflated.
Chen Jinzhao continued, "That's what I thought, I will beg Elder Xu later, if it wasn't for you, I would be dead now."
Under Chen Jinzhao's tireless teachings, Xu Jinsong finally decided to go back with him.
At the same time.
He had already made a decision in his heart...
Another half hour later, several armed helicopters appeared above the two of them and took them back to an amphibious assault ship that was carrying out exercises in the vicinity. The captain was an old acquaintance of Xu Jinsong, and the two immediately received medical treatment on the ship.
Because Chen Jinzhao's injuries were too severe, the captain had to send several armed helicopters to send them back to the nearest big city – Fengtian.
As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Jinzhao saw Xu Hanchen waiting on the hospital's rooftop helipad. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Xu Hanchen seemed to have aged again. He wanted to sit up from the stretcher to salute Xu Hanchen, but found that he couldn't even lift his arm.
"Elder Xu, I..." Chen Jinzhao began.
Xu Hanchen interrupted him, walked forward, patted Chen Jinzhao's shoulder, and said, "I've already got your injury report from the captain. You've worked hard on this mission. You'll have a good rest for the next six months. I don't want you to undertake any more risky operational missions."
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..."
