Chapter 149 Jiang Qihe
Daigo sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness. He raised his hand to adjust his helmet, which had some problems. His brows furrowed into a deep frown. His voice was a mixture of relief and exhaustion as he said, "Luckily, we acted quickly and notified headquarters in time. If we had been any later, the signal would have been lost, and we would have been completely unable to contact them. I really don't know what we would have done then."
"This place is really too strange!" Horii raised his chin slightly, looking through his protective goggles at the lush forest around him. Deep lines appeared between his brows as he sighed, "Look, this electromagnetic interference is ridiculously strong. The Gazort we encountered before, and the Gazort II, are nothing compared to this power. They're incomparable." As he spoke, he tapped the camera switch by his ear to take a picture, his eyes filled with worry.
Horii crossed his arms, his fingers tapping lightly on his arms unconsciously. Recalling the busy period of time, his heart was filled with bitterness.
He has always strictly followed the ideas given by Lin Yeming, working tirelessly to optimize and upgrade the various facilities in the base, all in order to be able to resist interference from monsters and aliens at critical moments.
He thought he was well prepared, but who could have predicted that problems would still arise as soon as he encountered an issue? How could he not be frustrated?
And there's still no news about her girlfriend.
I don't know why she's here, or if there's something wrong.
She didn't even tell him, her boyfriend.
Horii was somewhat annoyed.
Daigo stepped forward, patted Horii on the shoulder, and tried to comfort him, "Don't be too discouraged. We're solving the problem step by step, aren't we? Your girlfriend is a scientist, not an ordinary person. She'll definitely be fine. Maybe she's hiding somewhere, waiting for us to come find her." Horii gave a wry smile and nodded slightly, but the worry in his eyes didn't lessen in the slightest.
Daigo looked around. The seemingly peaceful forest had an inexplicably eerie atmosphere due to the electromagnetic interference. He gripped the communicator in his hand tightly, and despite the intermittent signal, he tried to contact headquarters again, unwilling to give up: "Headquarters, headquarters, this is Daigo, please respond!"
A moment later, a series of static noises came from the communicator, mixed with a few indistinct responses. Daigo perked up and was about to speak when the signal was cut off again.
"Damn it!" Daigo cursed under his breath. Just then, a strange sound came from the ground, which sounded like footsteps and was rapidly approaching them.
The two men exchanged a glance, drew their guns from their waists, and looked warily in that direction.
The footsteps grew closer, though they sounded slow, each one like a tap on their taut heartstrings.
Horii swallowed hard, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He gripped his gun tighter and whispered to Daigo, "This commotion doesn't seem like an ordinary wild animal. We hope it's not some new kind of monster."
Daigo didn't reply, his eyes cold and fixed on the source of the sound, his muscles tense, ready to fight at any moment.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the woods. Horii almost pulled the trigger, but Daigo reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist.
Upon seeing who it was, Horii blurted out, "Chizuru-chan! What are you doing here?"
A few leaves were stuck in Jiang Qiqianhe's hair, her face had several scratches, and her clothes were soaked.
"Horie-kun!" After saying that, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Horii put away his gun at top speed and quickly caught Chizuru Eizaki, who was about to fall to the ground.
She called out anxiously, "Chizuru..."
But there was still no response.
Horii quickly used the first aid techniques he had learned during training to check her pulse with his fingers.
Daigo, holding his Victory Hyper rifle, looked around warily and asked, "Horie, what's the situation?"
"She's just unconscious, but Chizuru is soaking wet. I don't know what's wrong."
"They must have panicked and lost their way in the thick fog, since fog contains moisture."
Horii could easily explain Eizaki Chizuru's condition from a scientific perspective.
Daigo put away his gun, stepped forward, looked at the clothes on Jiang Qiqianhe's body, and realized that something was wrong.
Both of them were wearing Victory Team combat uniforms, and their body temperatures were normal.
But Jiang Qiqianhe is different. She was only wearing ordinary warm clothes, but now they were wet, and it was still quite cold at this time.
It can cause mild symptoms like a cold, or even severe symptoms like hypothermia.
"Horie, we must find a place where Chizuru Ezaki can keep warm immediately. It's too dangerous for her to stay here."
Horii nodded and, without any hesitation, carried Chizuru Eizaki on his back.
He remembered what Lin Yeming had once said: Daigo's sixth sense was amazing, and one could rely on his judgment in dangerous situations.
The side effect is that flying a plane with him increases the risk of crashing.
Thinking of this, he said directly, "Daigo, you lead the way."
what?
Should I do it?
Daigo was a bit dumbfounded. He had just said there wouldn't be a plane crash, but he was the one who ended up crashing.
Now they need him to lead the way...
Horii really trusts me.
As Daigo thought about it, he felt a warmth in his heart and a heavy weight on his shoulders.
He subconsciously touched the magic wand on his chest, determined to protect them.
He nodded firmly and said, "I understand."
Daigo, contrary to his usual behavior, walked deeper into the area, saying as he went, "If I remember correctly, there should be a house nearby."
Not long after the two left, Daigo exclaimed, "Found it, Horii, hurry up!"
He pointed ahead and walked over to switch places, but found that Horii was walking briskly and didn't look like he was carrying anyone at all.
Daigo exclaimed in surprise, "When did Horii get such good stamina?"
Before long, they arrived at a house.
Horii knocked on the door urgently and said, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"
The door was suddenly knocked open; it wasn't closed, but rather ajar.
The two exchanged a glance, went inside to look, but found no one.
The interior furnishings looked very lived-in, and there was no indication that no one lived there.
It looks like they had to rush out and didn't have time to close the door.
However, due to the urgency of the situation, Horii could only put Eizaki Chizuru down and help her dry her clothes.
Daigo went to check the other rooms, but still didn't find anyone.
He tried contacting headquarters again, but still couldn't get through.
After discussing it, the two decided to stay here and wait for rescue, and also to wait for Jiang Qiqianhe to wake up so they could find out why she had suddenly come here.
Although there is a space observation center here, it should be abandoned.
