Chapter 23: Cracks and Bridging
Chu Hao returned to the shelter nearly half an hour later than the two groups. When he came back, he looked very embarrassed. Not to mention the dust was everywhere on his body, his clothes were damaged in many places, and even blood was seen in some places, and his whole body seemed to have experienced a fierce battle.
Everyone hurriedly surrounded him, but except for J and Osage's questions, Jenny, who had always talked, remained silent. Even Ares just frowning and checking the wound, without persuading and asking as gently as usual.
Chu Hao returned to his gentle smile at this moment. He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled barely, "I'll sleep for a while. My body is probably too heavy. Let's talk about anything if I wake up." Then he fainted without a sound, leaving only everyone here to face each other.
After a few seconds, J said, "Aris, I'd better bandage Chu first. If you have anything to do, wait until he wakes up."
Ares nodded silently, then began to clean Chu Hao's body and bandage the wound, while Jenny said a little angrily: "Bandage or something... We are not as cold-blooded as him. We will definitely treat and bandage him, but he is too much, right? You should have seen and heard the situation at that time, and I don't want to say more. It was really a few seconds away. If we ran a little slower or were hit by something, then we would be really dead. Such a thing..."
"Say a few less words, you still say you don't want to say more. Isn't this called not wanting to say more?" J said with a faint expression.
Jenny suddenly seemed to be a cat with a tail stepped on. If she had hair, she would have to stand up directly and immediately said loudly: "Hey, figure it out if it's okay. We almost died, not you almost died, and you just ran away from a distance. What do you think we are doing? I ran three places in a row and passed through the blast several times. Such a danger..."
J glared suddenly. He was already tall and big. At this time, he glared again and looked very fierce. He said coldly: "Do you think you are the only one who is dangerous? What do you think we are doing in the blasting team? Do you play? Do you dare to work in a lot of gasoline and various oils? Even a little spark can blow you into countless pieces. You can try saying this again."
Jenny shrank her neck slightly, and said reluctantly: "I didn't say you are not dangerous, but...what is he doing? When we are all at the most dangerous moment, he seems to be the safest person. I just can't figure it out. We are so tired, but he is lying there watching, giving orders, and today..."
"Enough."
One sentence was said by Ares, who had bandaged Chu Hao. He stood up with a dark face and said, "You are wrong. Jenny, he is much more dangerous than our situation. We are on the ground and have places to hide at any time. But on the rooftop, as long as he is discovered by alien monsters, he must fight his best to escape. He is always in a sniper observation state. We are not something we can imagine... For example, today, how do you think the injuries on his body come from? He is stronger than us. He is in such a state. He must have encountered an octopus monster or even more terrifying thing. This matter... let's stop here."
Jenny opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw that the faces of the people were all deep, she couldn't continue talking anymore. She immediately returned to her tent in anger, regardless of what the people outside were thinking.
In fact, the few people outside were speechless. Except for putting Chu Hao in his own tent, the rest of them did their own things and had no words for a long time.
In this way, it was not until the evening that Chu Hao came out of his tent. He still smiled, as gentle as usual, and sincerely gentle. Anyone who had been in contact with him for even a day could feel this... But because of this, today's scene made the two people in the Spider Group unable to let go.
"Have you not eaten yet?"
Chu Hao said the first thing he said when he came out was that he ran to the bathroom to clean up. When he came out, he sat at the table without hesitation, and said to Ares: "Isn't they all waiting for me? Did you make some good things to celebrate? You haven't served it yet?"
Everyone was a little silent and speechless, but for some reason, they felt relieved when they looked at Chu Hao's expressions and words. Then Elaine and Ares helped to start bringing the supper, but Ares made a pretty rich French meal based on the ingredients here.
"So……"
When the food was served, Chu Hao had only time to say these two words. Jenny said angrily: "Don't eat for now. You are silent, you all want face, or you like to talk about human nature. I don't care about these things, I will say anything... Chu Hao, you are a wise man, but you did too much today. I want you... apologize! Yes, you must apologize to me and Ares! You almost killed our lives today. Do you know how dangerous it was at that time?"
Chu Hao still had a smile on his face. When he was happy to go to get a croissant, Jenny was so angry that he slapped him in his hand. He was not angry. He didn't eat it after taking the bread, but just held it in his hand to play with it. At the same time, he said: "It's very dangerous. If it's dangerous, then I apologize to you. I haven't seemed to have made the statement about the danger clear yet..."
"You know I'm not talking about this!"
Jenny's face turned red with anger, and she roared loudly, "I mean you betrayed us on the battlefield, you..."
"sell?"
Chu Hao's voice suddenly became louder, but he immediately took a deep breath and withdrew the sound, but continued to say gently: "I didn't betray anyone, nor did I plan to betray you. If I want to betray you, I don't have to arrange it for a long time... I'm sorry, I've let you go through such danger, but I still say the same thing, what is not dangerous? Everything is dangerous, and even our meal is dangerous. I'm not a god. All I can do is maximize the benefits and minimize the danger. The situation at that time was already at its most critical moment. If I were to be delayed by a few seconds, although you could enter the sewer ten seconds or even more time before the explosion, but the same way, the giant gorilla monster would not fall into the most intense place of the explosion, then it would definitely see the traces of you two. That way would really kill you."
"I don't know how you view the danger..."
Chu Hao picked up the bread and took a bite. After swallowing it, he slowly said: "I once said that I never gamble. Because I have encountered too many unexplained non-luck and non-logical deaths, so I never gamble. Everything is dangerous, but danger is danger, death is death. These are two things. To be honest, please calm down and think carefully. Are the two really going to die when they are at point C?"
This time, even Jenny was silent. After a long time, Ares said: "No, because before making this plan, you conducted a long-distance running test for us. Judging from the test results, we should have about fifteen seconds of buffering time to enter the sewer. Is that true?"
"To be precise, it's five to ten seconds."
Chu Hao said silently: "After compiling all the data, I specially calculated your running speed in a fearful situation and the speed when you may fall. The final result is five to ten seconds. This period is absolutely safe and may be very dangerous. However, danger does not represent despair, and danger does not represent death, it is just danger, but I still want to apologize to you."
"Feel sorry."
Chu Hao said seriously: "I am really sorry, because I have asked everyone for the standards in my organization. I am very sorry. When planning and arrangements are made in the future, I will make corrections and references... But I have not, and I will not betray any of you. Everything I have done has been explained to you. The danger now can be exchanged for the survival of any horror movie world in the future. If such a thing happens again, you touch your chest and ask yourself, are you still willing to obey me and enter this plan?"
Everyone fell silent again. After a moment, Ares said in a deep voice: "Even after experiencing all this, if I have made me choose again, I am still willing to continue the danger this time... Well, Chu, you convinced me, I actually thought a lot, but one thing I can be sure of is that you really have no malice towards us, nor have you ever had a reason to have malicious intentions. In fact, if the situation allows, we can be the greatest help to you, right? Compared to the next batch of newcomers in the Reincarnation Team, we are at least more important to you when we have understood us and our abilities, so this time was a real surprise, and I forgive you because we ran a little slower than expected."
Except for Jenny, the faces of the others slowly calmed down, and then they began to eat food. Jenny looked around and looked at Chu Hao again, and found that Chu Hao was smiling. She felt inexplicably angry. She immediately snorted and walked into her tent without saying anything.
But he is arrogant.
