We are from the future ark

"If not..." Razer's expression was slightly stunned, and then, with the sound of gunfire continuing to ring in her ears, she finally came back to her senses.

It seems like someone is shooting outside?

……

"boom!"

Another shot was fired into the sky. At this moment, Jessica, holding the gun high in her hand, kept urging the Ursus staff around her.

"Dig it out quickly! You must dig it out within half an hour!"

As if this was not enough, after firing another shot into the sky, Jessica went forward and continued digging, trying to speed up a little bit and dig the two women out quickly.

"Razer-senpai! Franka-senpai! You must hold on!"

"I will definitely save you! I will definitely save you!"

Chapter 194: A wish fulfilled, a rescue more than ten years late

"... Shorty, if I hadn't been hallucinating because of my impending death... I seemed to have heard a gunshot just now?"

"I heard it too... Fat Fox."

In the closed Originium mine, Razer and Franka, who were almost on the verge of death, looked at the cave entrance blocked by the collapse with almost disbelief.

At the silent cave entrance, Franka and Razer almost held their breath for a moment. In the suffocatingly silent cave entrance, there could be faint sounds as if something was hitting rocks.

Moreover, the sound was getting deeper at a visible speed and was slowly approaching them.

In an instant, it seemed as if the scorching air around them became less irritating, and the despair brought about by lack of water and oxygen seemed to be overcome in an instant. The hopeful mood overcame all despair at this moment, and the joy of being reborn made them regain their confidence at this moment.

"Fat Fox... maybe it's too early for us to give up now."

"Yeah..." Franca couldn't help but smile when she saw this. Listening to the sounds of digging coming slowly from the outside world, a glimmer of hope seemed to rise in her heart.

"We even began to give up on ourselves...but we never expected..."

"We have not been carefree for a long time... There are still people who care about us... There are still people who think of us..."

"Yeah." Razer smiled faintly and nodded, gently grasped Franka's hand beside him, and sighed softly:

"It turns out that we were no longer carefree people a long time ago..."

……

"Can't it be faster?"

"Miss, we really have gone all out."

Facing the slightly anxious Jessica's urging, the head of the Ursus Engineering Group said to Jessica with a bitter face:

"We don't have an excavator, so we can only dig manually. Although there is no possibility of collapse in this mine, we dare not apply too much impact force."

"——Can't we use bombs?"

"Difficult." The engineer smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said to Jessica, "The impact of the bomb is too great. This mine doesn't look deep. If we use the bomb rashly, even if there is no danger of collapse, we dare not use the bomb."

"The impact of the thing injured the people in the cave. Such injuries are almost fatal."

Using bombs to clear a path is naturally a good idea, and they do have a reserve of bombs. As a construction and rescue team, bombs are almost a must-have.

However, bombs cannot be used at such a rescue site. If it is a very deep source stone vein, it is still okay. But if bombs are used at such a narrow cave entrance, the residual power of the bomb will most likely cause the rubble to have a huge impact, resulting in a tragic situation like a bullet hitting a person.

They dare not gamble. This is a rescue operation, not a construction site. They must make rescue their primary purpose and cannot treat the life safety of the rescue target as a joke.

Although the Terra continent always ridicules Ursus's "hostage rescue operation", they do not really regard human lives as worthless. At least, in this situation where there are no other dangerous people threatening the safety of the hostages, their first consideration is naturally not to help the hostages escape, but to rescue them.

On the other side, after a moment of silence, Jessica suddenly thought of something and asked the engineer:

“You mean… this cave is not in danger of a second collapse, right?”

"Huh? Ah, yes, theoretically speaking." The engineer nodded after a moment of hesitation and said with his professional knowledge: "Theoretically speaking, even if bombs are used, this cave will not collapse, because this cave is not deep and the possibility of collapse is very small."

"——That's easy."

Jessica nodded after hearing this, and then said, "All of you step back a little, and leave it to me from now on."

However, before the excavation team could react, they saw Jessica's figure flying rapidly towards the side of the cave.

Jessica's figure kept shuttling through the wilderness until she reached a position where she could hardly be seen from her original place. She then slammed on the brakes, raised the precision firearm in her hand, and aimed at the edge of the rubble of the collapsed cave.

"…The No. 11 armor-piercing projectile pauses for a moment after launch, and then emits a powerful shock wave in the opposite direction of the launch trajectory."

"The maximum effective range of sniper weapons is 2400 meters... I am about 2500 meters away from the cave now. Beyond the maximum effective range, the power of the armor-piercing shell will be weakened... It will penetrate the surface of the rock and then embed into the rock. After that, the shock wave will push all the rocks away."

Jessica was almost whispering as she calculated in her head, taking all factors into consideration. Although she was very familiar with her weapon configuration, her hands were shaking slightly at this moment.

Normally, she was very steady when shooting, but the reason why she was a little nervous now was undoubtedly because the two people trapped in the cave were almost a source of worry to her.

Success or failure, it all depends on one move.

“… God bless you.”

After a final prayer, Jessica's pupils finally shrank slightly and she held her breath.

"boom."

There was a dull gunshot, accompanied by a very light white smoke, and the bullet was fired suddenly. There was a pause for a long while before the sound of the impact was heard.

Then, there was a pause as if time had stopped. Even if it was only for a moment, it seemed as if one's heart skipped several beats.

"boom--!!!"

Finally, accompanied by an extremely violent shock wave, all the dust settled, and Jessica completely disappeared from the spot.

……

"Cough cough cough cough cough -!"

After a burst of extremely uncomfortable coughing, they were barely able to adapt to the fresh air that suddenly blew in their faces, along with large amounts of dust. Razer and Franka coughed uncomfortably. The sudden explosion just now had hit them hard.

"In the end what happened?"

Under the dust, Razer couldn't react at all to what was happening in front of them. However, just as they were still coughing, the sound of footsteps broke their thoughts.

All they saw was that under the cover of night, a black shadow slowly appeared in front of the two girls. In his hand was a long-handled firearm that they were quite familiar with, and he slowly walked towards the two girls step by step.

At this moment, as they got closer, Razer and Franka finally saw the face of the film woman under the night sky, who was familiar yet unfamiliar to them.

"…Are you here to save us, Cathead?"

At this moment, Franka's voice was the first to break the silence. Looking at the person in front of her who was very similar in many aspects but seemed slightly different, Franka, who had lost too much blood and was a little unconscious, spoke as if possessed by a ghost.

Razer on the side was much more sober. Looking at the firearm in Jessica's hand, her black hood that had been lowered at some point, and her somewhat incongruous face, his pupils dilated slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"...Jessica, you..."

"——I'm here to save you, Razer-senpai, Franka-senpai."

In the night, Jessica's voice was so calm. However, under this calmness, almost no one could detect how many emotions she had suppressed in her heart and had not completely erupted.

"This time, I finally caught up and came to save you."

Almost whispered words came out slowly from Jessica's mouth. However, at this moment, as if something was awakened, there seemed to be a little more expression in Jessica's pupils. In those originally dull eyes, there finally began to be something, and they were constantly flickering.

In the night, something was awakened, but it seemed that something was also...broken.

Chapter 195: War is the sin and destruction brought about by anger

"did you find it?"

After receiving the news from Jessica, Chen Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.

"In that case, then quickly send them back to Rhodes Island for treatment. I will let Gavial be in charge of their treatment process."

Gavial had all the emergency medicines they needed, including medicine for Originium disease. Therefore, they also had a way to treat Franka, whose Originium disease had worsened.

Of course, this is just a temporary emergency measure, and further treatment requires transfer back to Rhodes Island, but these medicines are enough as an emergency measure.

However, although he found the people, Chen Qi was not in a hurry to leave this death zone. He still hoped to find as much information as possible here, at least... to determine the direction in which Markolov and his group fled.

Ifrit and her group have already started looking for traces around. If everything goes as expected, they should be able to find some small details...

"Mr. Chen Qi!"

However, just as Chen Qi was thinking about what to do next, a sudden, anxious call accompanied by sobbing forced Chen Qi to retract his gaze and turn his head to look behind him.

"…Gummi, what's going on?"

"Something big has happened! Mr. Chen Qi!"

However, Gumi, who was running over, had tears on his face. He grabbed Chen Qi's hand and pulled him in one direction.

Although Chen Qi didn't quite understand, he still vaguely sensed a problem. In addition, Gumi's strength was indeed a bit outrageous, so Chen Qi followed Gumi's footsteps and walked into the interior of the burned village.

However, before he had walked out for long, Chen Qi heard a series of increasingly clear scolding and arguing sounds. Not long after, Chen Qi saw clearly the Winter on the other side, as well as Zhenli and Zaolu who were pulling Winter.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Chen Qi!" X2

At this moment, Zhenli and Zaolu, who saw Chen Qi's arrival, were obviously relieved. After seeing Chen Qi's figure, the originally irritable Lindong slowly slowed down his resistance.

"What exactly happened?" Chen Qi also walked over quickly, looking at the three people who seemed to be arguing again, and asked with a slight frown.

"Mr. Chen Qi..." However, Zhenli's expression dimmed when he heard that. Lindong and Zaolu also looked embarrassed to speak. It was still Zhenli who stretched out a finger and pointed in a direction to the side.

"Look...what should we do about this?"

"?" Chen Qi was a little confused and his eyes unconsciously turned to that side.

However, when Chen Qi saw this scene, his heart sank slightly.

All I saw was a slightly delicate voice. At this moment, most of the originally long hair had been burnt, and half of the face was also covered with burnt marks. Compared with the other half of the beautiful and tender face, it was so hideous.

At this moment, the little girl's right leg had been completely burned in half. The little girl was seen stabbing her burned leg with the knife and fork in her hand, cutting off the flesh and stabbing it again with the knife and fork.

...She was already experiencing hallucinations. Although she was still alive, she was completely trapped in hallucinations because of the hallucinogenic effect of the white phosphorus bomb.

"..." Chen Qi was silent. He probably understood why the three members of Winter were arguing. If they encountered such a thing, even the members of Noah's team might cause a dispute at this moment.

"…So, what are you going to do?"

"I'll give her a quick death." Winter said calmly. She clenched her axe in her hand and said through gritted teeth:

"Such pain, such trauma... I will let her sleep forever in a beautiful dream..."

"No, don't, Winter, don't do this."

At this moment, Zaolu on the side shook her head, held Lindong's hands that were holding the axe, and said while shaking her head: "She can still be saved, she can still live, she doesn't have to die..."

"As long as we can survive, we won't give up on anyone. We won't..."

"——Wake up, Natalia."

However, Winter lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Look at her. Even if we save her... she is the only one who survived in the village, and she is the only one who is still alive in this incomplete state!"

"Such suffering - don't let it continue, it's enough!"

Having said this, Lindong pretended to raise the axe again, but Zaolu grabbed Lindong's hand tightly again, telling her not to continue.

The dispute between the two began to stalemate again, and at this moment, Chen Qi on the side finally spoke slowly.

"……enough."

Finally, Chen Qi's palm finally suppressed Lin Dong and Zao Lu. He slowly took the axe from Lin Dong's hand and said lightly:

"We are not qualified to decide the life or death of a life. The moment we take a life, no matter what our purpose is, we are already the executioner."

"Lin Dong, your idea is very firm, but can you really do it?"

"Zaolu, your idea is good, but have you ever thought about what we can do after we save her?"

"Prosthetic technology is not yet perfect. We are still unable to build perfect prosthetics. Moreover, for such a large area of ​​burns, the transplant surgery alone would probably be a huge project."

"Moreover, he has been corroded by the white phosphorus bomb for such a long time that he has hallucinations... Even if we want to save him, it is probably useless."

"..." After Chen Qi's narration, Zao Lu fell silent. She slowly lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and gritted her teeth.

"...We don't need any more blood on our hands, so let's leave it at that." Chen Qi slowly placed Winter's axe on the ground, held Winter and Zhenli's hands, and said lightly:
