Chapter 695: Die with Bai Zhi
Long Jiuyan took off his headlamp and handed it to his subordinate.
"Master Jiu, take this, I'll figure it out on my own." One of them lowered his head in fear, not daring to pick up Long Jiuyan's headlight.
"I can see in the dark, so can you?"
"Subordinates can't."
The subordinate took the headlamp from Long Jiuyan and started taking action.
Huo Shaoting ignored them at all, his attention was all on Bai Zhi.
He kept calling Bai Zhi's name softly, hoping for a miracle, maybe Bai Zhi would wake up in the next second.
Bai Zhi felt that her body was cold and warm, as if she was soaking in a bathtub filled with warm water.
But she was so weak that she seemed ready to slip into the bathtub at any moment. There seemed to be an iron chain around her waist locking her to ensure her safety.
"Baizhi, wake up"
"Baizhi..."
Vaguely, she could only hear someone calling her name.
She opened her eyes and saw a dazzling light. Under that light was Huo Shaoting's face full of surprise.
"You're finally awake." Long Jiuyan's slightly stiff voice also sounded in her ears.
Bai Zhi immediately noticed that except for a little light from Huo Shaoting's headlamp, everything was pitch black, "Where is this?"
Just saying a word seemed to expend all her energy.
"In the hot spring below the trap pit." Huo Shaoting took the first step to clarify Bai Zhi's doubts.
Bai Zhi suddenly remembered that she fell from above and finally fell into a hot spring, and was washed to the shore by a rapid current. She finally got up, but she didn't expect that her body was getting colder and colder, and she finally passed out.
"Still in the trap pit?"
Huo Shaoting nodded, "Yes, but don't worry, I will protect you."
Long Jiuyan acted like he didn't hear anything and turned Bai Zhi's cheek to face him, "My people will come down soon, and I will let you leave here unscathed."
"Thanks."
Bai Zhi said gratefully to the two people. As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice seemed to be frozen in her throat.
Her head was also dizzy, especially the back of her head, which felt like needle pricks.
Long Jiuyan saw that Bai Zhi's expression was wrong, "What's wrong with you? Where are you injured?"
Bai Zhi frowned slightly. She originally wanted to say it was okay, but the pain became more and more intense and she couldn't hold it in any longer. "The back of her head seems to have been hit."
Long Jiuyan's hand gently touched the back of Bai Zhi's head, and he immediately felt a big bump.
He pulled Bai Zhi's head and pulled off Huo Shaoting's headlamp to shine it over. He saw a cut on her scalp. The wound had just been soaked in water and the blood that flowed out had already condensed.
"It's okay, don't worry, my people will come down soon." As he said that, Long Jiuyan hugged Bai Zhi harder into his arms.
He had bravely braved the hail of bullets and had hundreds of scars on his body, but no injury was as shocking as when he saw the wound on the back of Bai Zhi's head.
Huo Shaoting wanted to see how badly Bai Zhi was injured, but Long Jiuyan hugged Bai Zhi stingily, not even leaving a gap for him.
"Bai Zhi, we have been falling for a while. I think the rescuers will be here soon. Just hold on a little longer." Huo Shaoting nervously said to Bai Zhi. If Long Jiuyan, the light bulb, wasn't there, Bai Zhi would have been hugged by him. That's right.
"Do you still feel cold? Besides your head, does it hurt anywhere on your body?"
"What's the use of asking her where it hurts? There's no medicine here." Huo Shaoting glanced at Long Jiuyan angrily.
Although Bai Zhi fell to the back of her head, her senses were still there, and she could tell that something was not right between the two of them.
She looked at Huo Shaoting with almost admiration. He actually had the courage to challenge Long Jiuyan.
Huo Shaoting didn't think there was any problem at first. He was a lonely and brave man, and he was already prepared to die with Bai Zhi. But now that Bai Zhi woke up, especially seeing Bai Zhi's admiring gaze, his rationality gradually returned, and he suddenly realized what an incredible thing he had done.
However, Huo Shaoting was still very confident.
He does things alone and takes responsibility for others, and he doesn't feel that he is wrong. Besides, he is the best actor, so there is nothing dirty about him. Long Jiuyan is now clean. Even if you want to touch him, you have to think carefully about it.
When Huo Shaoting assessed the danger, Long Jiuyan didn't even pay Huo Shaoting an eye.

On the ground, rescue workers brought over a 1,500-meter-long ladder, which is the longest one currently available.
Lin Yi led people up. When he saw the soft ladder, he still felt that it was not long enough.
He searched the crowd and found one of the ten most stable people under Long Jiuyan. "Tang Fei, Australia is your territory. No matter what method you use, find the longest ladder immediately."
"Yes." Tang Fei just came up from the trap pit, and his mask cracked for some reason. He inhaled some unpleasant gas and felt dizzy. But after hearing Ji Yi's instructions, he immediately took the people away.
The rescuers lowered the ladder and began a second climb.
Just as Ji Yi estimated, this ladder was not long enough at all.
"Find a way to go down to the lowest point that the ladder can reach, and use a loudspeaker to contact the people below."
Lin Yi grabbed the rescue captain's walkie-talkie and ordered the people below in English.
The rescue captain was very angry after his command was snatched away, but he had to admit that what the Chinese man said was a method.
Ji Yi smiled apologetically at the rescue team leader, hoping that the echo below would be loud enough to reach Master Jiu's ears.
Master Jiu's hearing has been professionally trained and is extraordinary. He should be able to hear...
"Master Jiu, my subordinate found an ice lake deep in the cave. There are fish swimming underneath. I tried my best and could only get three fish in."
Long Jiuyan's three men each held a dagger with a fish stuck in it.
Three people share a headlamp and work in such a cold environment. They are also talented people.
But where does this fall? He still looks like he is groveling. Long Jiuyan's men must have been trained stupidly. Huo Shaoting couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Long Jiuyan did not take over the returned headlamp, "Make a fire and grill the fish."
"yes."
The three of them were trembling all over and wanted to die. It's either hot springs or ice water. Where can I find something to make a fire? But I still had the courage to look for it.
"do not move."
Long Jiuyan suddenly spoke up and stopped the hesitant movements of his three subordinates. This time he heard clearly, there was indeed a voice coming from above.
Long Jiuyan began to search for his loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Three kilometers! Need supplies!"
The rescuers who were trying hard to fix their bodies on the bottom shelf of the ladder heard clearly that the pit was three thousand meters deep.
Long Jiuyan's roar was not only heard by the people hanging in the air, but also vaguely heard by Ji Yi who was lying near the trap pit.
The tense expression on his face relaxed slightly, and joy appeared on his brows. Great, Master Jiu is safe!
