Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 308 - 300: Underground City Construction 10

"Now is not the time to be brave."

Cheng Xiaoxiao said as she took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out two brown pills, special blood-activating and bruise-dissipating medicine.

Since neither she nor Grandpa Huang were good at treating internal injuries, this medicine was developed based on the pills given by Doctor Xue. It has a good effect on internal injuries, but not as good as the original.

They can only make do with it.

She fed one to Cheng Sicheng and took one herself.

Slowly, the burning sensation in her chest and abdomen became less intense.

Watching the intense battle in the distance, Zhou Yanlan and another assisting friend had not gained the upper hand, she couldn’t stay here and become a burden.

She silently apologized to Yanlan in her mind, and then quietly left with Cheng Sicheng.

As long as they can escape, they will surely find her trail.

This kind of battle is not something she can watch, if she gets caught in it, the loss outweighs the gain.

Thinking back, She Yao had probably held back previously, otherwise, looking at the speed of their current exchange, she realized she had been overly confident before. If the opponent had gone all out, she probably wouldn’t have taken even three moves.

Indeed, she was still too weak.

She was also quite puzzled by Sikong Yinlong’s actions. If he didn’t want her dead, then why did he keep picking fights? Isn’t that contradictory?

She had already explained her actions in Yuan Yang City, her martial arts were exposed, and he mocked the idea that she could foresee disasters. She didn’t know what else was worth his relentless pursuit.

Elsewhere, it seemed she hadn’t exposed any flaws either. She really couldn’t understand what was going on in that unpredictable person’s mind.

Such good looks were truly wasted.

Forget it, stop thinking about it, solve the current predicament first.

The two injured helped each other as they went up the mountain. The battle on the mountain had ceased, leaving behind a mess and snow stained red with blood.

The mountain top had many short pines. The green branches were covered with flying snow, coated in silver white, perfectly blocking the view and easy to hide within. Her combat plan on the mountain top was a surprise guerrilla warfare.

Sliding swiftly back and forth on skis among the short pines, disappearing into the white pines after a sudden attack, making it extremely difficult to track her silhouette.

This was guerrilla warfare, striking a blow and moving to another position quickly, able to rapidly deplete the enemy’s forces and slow their advance.

The thick snow brought them many conveniences, moving much faster on skis than stepping directly on the snow, making surprise attacks easier.

Were it not for the overwhelming numerical difference, guerrilla warfare on the mountain top could leave the enemy without any return.

The numerical disadvantage allowed the United Army to pass through the mountain top ambush and advance into the mountain.

The two stumbled to the mountain top, where unclaimed bodies lay haphazardly.

Though experiencing internal injuries, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t ignore a single corpse, checking each one by one.

Even severely injured Cheng Sicheng, after taking the medicine, improved slightly, joining in searching the bodies.

For the sacrifices of their side, Cheng Xiaoxiao directly stored them in the warehouse, doing it this time right in front of Cheng Sicheng.

Seeing a moment of astonishment from him, followed by understanding, he didn’t ask her anything further.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, she liked people who understood and didn’t ask unnecessary questions.

As they moved forward, fierce battles came into view, the shouts of killing and clashing weapons incessant.

Ambushed here were members of the 132th Regiment Patrol Team and fifty elite from the Han Family, fighting practically one against three, the situation extremely intense.

Cheng Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes slightly, sneering, unaware of the hunter lurking behind.

Just then the system spoke up, "Huh, why has the battle started?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart leapt with joy, the system returned just in time.

No time to inquire about the outcome of her plea, she immediately said, "77, once I get close, take all their weapons."

"Isn’t that Captain Yuan on the tall horse? Has he attacked the mountain?" The system was surprised, it hadn’t been away for long.

"Yes, soon you’ll coordinate with me, let’s drive this group down the mountain." This time Cheng Xiaoxiao felt much more confident, her pale face showing a hint of a smile.

She then placed Cheng Sicheng in a relatively safe location, preparing to return to aid.

"I’d better go with you! Cough, cough!" Cheng Sicheng couldn’t help but cough several more times, having worsened the injury while helping gather supplies.

But it didn’t matter, letting Xiaoxiao attack alone made him uneasy, swords and knives have no eyes, what if she gets hurt again?

"Don’t worry, these guys aren’t a match for me, plus, don’t I still have the special explosives you gave me?" As she said this, Cheng Xiaoxiao conjured lumps of earth out of thin air.

Her confident appearance convinced Cheng Sicheng, realizing with his own condition, going with her might become a burden, he sensibly nodded.

"Just be careful," he ultimately advised, watching her distant figure with apprehension, feeling secretly distressed.

The urgent belief to become stronger surged again in his heart.

Cheng Xiaoxiao fully armed stood on a small hill, pushed gently, and quickly skied out.

Rushing all the way, she dashed straight into the combat circle, using her superb skills, dodging left and right, weaving back and forth, seemingly random yet causing the United Army heavy losses.

Where Cheng Xiaoxiao passed, the weapons they relied on sparse disappeared into thin air, losing their edge in a blink, either decapitated or spattered with blood.

Captain Yuan, fighting Ah Li, watch his soldiers fall continuously, his eyes nearly burning with rage.

Soon he locked onto a peculiar figure on the battlefield, freely darting through the snow, extremely fast, the obviously advantageous situation being forcibly disrupted by this person.

It was this suddenly appearing individual who created chaos in their ranks. The equipment on her feet and hands allowed her to maneuver on the snow with ease, like those on the mountain top, but faster and more effectively, making her impossible to guard against.

Unreasonable! Unexpectedly, there were masters among this group, and even weapons that could glide freely on snow, it was a miscalculation this time.

Strong bitterness and anger surged in his heart, repeatedly teased by this group, a grievance he couldn’t swallow.

He ordered loudly, "Each team manage your units, don’t let the enemy exploit any openings."

The chaotic teams quickly transitioned from individual combat to squad operations.

As the situation slightly improved, Captain Yuan ordered again, "Third and Fourth teams, capture that troublemaker for this Captain, reward of a hundred taels of silver for their head."

Damn!

Was her life so cheap?

Just a hundred taels to buy her life.

And so, Cheng Xiaoxiao was relentlessly pursued, but with her superb skiing skills, she wasn’t caught by the enemy, not even leaving a corner of her clothing behind.

With her joining, the pressure on the Patrol Team drastically reduced, they seized the opportunity to counterattack.
