Chapter 87 Comes and goes like the wind
"Which position? Uncle Master."
Lu Jin turned around and asked, his fair face full of anxiety and his brows furrowed.
"Your uncle and his friends are hiding in the underground cave on the north side of the island. There are two groups of aliens in the center and southeast of the island, each with dozens of people. They are not a big threat."
Jiang Mo stood up. The rain outside the cave stopped. He and Lu Jin galloped all the way across the complex forest.
In the dark cave, drops of water kept dripping onto the ground, like a death knell, and faint breathing could be heard from the corner.
Three disheveled figures were weakly hiding behind the rock wall. After nearly a week of escape and hunger, these middle-aged men in suits were completely exhausted and dishevelled.
They didn't dare go out, because if they met islanders or foreigners, they would die.
When they were thirsty, they drank underground spring water; when they were hungry, they risked their lives to pick wild fruits. Now, they were at the end of their rope.
"Cangzi, it may be a little painful, bear with it, I will help you straighten your ankle."
"Your injuries have been treated almost completely. Just hold on. We can get through this."
Lu You, looking haggard, was trying his best to comfort his companion. His face was pale as he gently supported his companion's ankle to check for sprained muscles.
"Master, I'm sorry I held you back."
Qi Cang, a thin man, said ashamedly, his lips were purple, his eyes were bloodshot, and the gunshot wound on his abdomen, which was wrapped in a silk scarf, was bleeding slowly.
"Bullshit, I would have died a long time ago without you, stop saying these useless words."
Lu You interrupted his frustrated speech, stared at the severely sprained ankle with great concentration, and said:
"Once Lao Li brings reinforcements from home, we can take a breather and then settle accounts with those foreign devils."
"Old Wei, get him some water."
Hearing the order, another burly man staggered to the depression more than ten meters away, holding the cold spring water in both hands, and came over carefully.
"Brother Qi, don't doze off. If you fall asleep you won't wake up!"
Wei Chengyuan put his hand to his friend's mouth and slowly poured the spring water into him.
"Why bother, Master. Brother Wei, I really can't hold on any longer."
When he was on the verge of death, Qi Cang looked at the man who was so close to him and smiled bitterly: "Master, if you can get out of here, can you help me take care of my mother?"
"I'll consider it as Cangzi's debt to you. I'll repay you in the next life. Is that ok?"
"Hold on, we will all be fine. Please, Cangzi, hold on for a while. I'll find you something to eat."
Lu You's heart ached, and his eyes were filled with tears. This was a good brother he had known for decades, and they had played together since they wore open-crotch pants. If he hadn't blocked the bullet for him, why would he have done this? !
"Old Wei, watch him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu You was about to stand up when Qi Cang grabbed him.
"Master, let's stop here. Cangzi is content."
Lu You felt like he had been electrocuted. He could no longer move his feet. A feeling of powerlessness suddenly swept over his body and mind. He looked sad and angry.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and despair seeped into their hearts. Both Qi Cang and Lu You understood that the chances of surviving in such a desperate situation were very slim, and the cruel reality shattered their delusions.
"boom--!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion at the entrance of the cave, as if some huge force had forcibly broken it open;
"Oh no, young master, those beasts are chasing us, you go first." Qi Cang urged panicily, pushing him away hard.
"Old Wei, take the young master away!!"
Wei Chengyuan understood his friend's intentions, so he grabbed Lu You and was about to walk away along the narrow passage of the underground cave.
At this moment, a clear and loud voice sounded from the cave entrance.
"Third uncle?!"
"Third Uncle?! Are you there?! It's me, Jin'er is here to save you!" The sudden voice suddenly interrupted the thoughts of several people. They all had expressions of disbelief, their pupils slightly dilated, and their heartbeats almost stopped from fright.
"Jin'er?! Lu Jin!!"
Lu You reacted with a sense of relief, and joy burst out like a flood. He finally got the support of his family.
"I'm here!!!!"
Lu You shouted loudly. The entire underground cave was tortuous and dim, with faint light shining through the cave entrance.
"Come on, Brother Qi, I'll carry you out, we're saved!!" Wei Chengyuan was equally excited.
"Is it the young master?"
A hint of reminiscence emerged in Qi Cang's dim pupils. He vaguely remembered this doll.
Lu You followed the sound and the two people behind him moved forward slowly.
After a few breaths, two figures in white came towards him. Handsome and familiar faces appeared in Lu You's eyes. Looking at his immortal nephew, he was almost stunned.
His frosty hair fell to his shoulders, his body was slender, and he was surrounded by blue and white energy.
After not seeing each other for many years, Lu Jin has changed a lot.
"Third Uncle!! I'm glad you're okay."
Lu Jin rushed over and hugged Lu You excitedly.
"Oh! It's you, you little brat. Be gentle. You've broken all of Third Uncle's bones."
Lu You was so happy that tears fell. He rubbed Lu Jin's head and praised him repeatedly: "Well done, you have succeeded in refining Qi. Third Uncle knew you could do it."
"Where are the others? Why are there only the two of you? Is this friend your senior brother?"
Lu Jin explained the family situation and Jiang Mo's identity in detail. When Lu You heard that they came flying in the clouds, he was completely stunned.
This almost overturned his cognition. After studying abroad for many years, he knew the kinetic energy principle of airplanes, but he never imagined that there were such extraordinary people in his hometown who could cross such a distant sea and find their location directly overnight.
"Master Jiang Jiang, you are so awesome." Lu You's lips moved, and his heart was shocked beyond words.
"There is no time to discuss this, Mr. Lu. Please wait a moment. I think your friend is dying."
Jiang Mo's gaze fell on the man on Wei Chengyuan's back. The man was already on the verge of death and could die at any time. There were many bullet holes on his body.
"Put him down. I'll keep him alive and then send you back."
Wei Chengyuan was an extraordinary person from the Henglian faction. Jiang Mo's frosty hair and white qi immediately reminded him of the famous Sanyi Xuanmen.
"Thank you for your help..."
Qi Cang was carefully lowered to the ground. A white Qi flow emanated from Jiang Mo's palm. He pressed against Qi Cang's forehead and penetrated into his body.
After a while, the blood stopped flowing, Qi Cang's face regained some color, and his breathing and heartbeat returned to normal.
"This island is not safe. If a fight breaks out, we won't be able to take care of you."
Jiang Mo instructed Wei Chengyuan and Lu You: "He lost too much blood and has no nutrition. He is very weak now. I will take you back first."
"Okay, thank you, Chief Jiang!"
"Thank you, Master Jiang. I will never forget this kindness."
"Okay, carry him on your back."
When everyone arrived outside the cave, Jiang Mo waved his hand and a large cloud of Qi descended, carrying the four people and disappearing into the sky, heading towards the Middle-earth continent.
