Chapter 253 Transformation
The panda took out some water and nutrition bars to replenish his energy.
Seeing Qi Xue looking for a signal, he smiled softly: "Captain Qi, you are too cautious now. If we take a break, won't that kid run even further?"
Qi Xue didn't say anything. If it were ten years ago, she wouldn't have cared so much.
There was once a man who was pursued by her for several days. He was so scared that he couldn't even sleep. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and surrendered.
Qi Xue used to have a nickname, Hu Niu, especially when she first joined the team. She was young and impulsive, and did not consider herself a human being at all in order to complete the mission.
It’s not because she’s older and more stable now, but because she’s seen too many sacrifices and lost too many teammates.
The members of this team have the highest mortality rate and the fastest turnover. None of the members who once joined the team with Qi Xue are left.
Now she has become the team leader. Panda has been in the team for less than three years, and Wasp has been in the team for just over four years. They are both new recruits.
Qi Xue was careful because she didn't want their young lives to disappear like that.
"Don't worry, we will catch him sooner or later. The terrain here is too dangerous. Although the view is wide, we are also exposed. We should be careful."
The panda nodded, finished his meal, put on his monocular night vision goggles, and took out the thermal imaging device to check his surroundings.
"Contacted..."
The signal on the hillside was indeed much stronger than in the dense forest, and Qi Xue finally contacted Mafeng.
She sent the location to Mafeng, asked Mafeng to request support, and sent a military helicopter to lock on Madao from the air and prepare to capture him.
Because all signs indicated that the Sabre was on this mountain, the search range was greatly reduced.
If he escapes from the side, he can be immediately locked on the helicopter.
On a hillside far away from Qi Xue and the panda, Ma Dao was swallowing raw wild vegetables mouthful by mouthful. Although they tasted bad, they were filling enough to fill him up.
After eating, he began to set up the place under the cover of night. He was busy for several hours and collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.
Tomorrow will be the last fight. Ma Dao took out everything he had on him: a pack of cigarettes, a pistol, a knife, and a pile of useless banknotes.
He can survive here without any food or water.
But looking up at the starry sky at this moment, Ma Dao actually felt that he had never felt so lonely in his life.
Life was hard when he was a child, even bitterer than the wild vegetables he had just eaten. It was also very tiring back then, with endless work to do every day.
But he had never had such a thought before, as if he felt there was no hope.
That’s not right. He seems to have always been confused. When he was a child, at least he had the desire to have enough food and warm clothes.
After he achieved his goal, he made a lot of money, but he wanted nothing more.
Sometimes he envied fools like Chen He. Although his wishes were silly, he always knew what he wanted.
In the middle of the night, at some unknown time, Ma Dao was awakened by a roar.
He saw two stars flying in the sky, becoming brighter and brighter , and then two beams of strong light hit the hillside and moved around.
The saber suddenly rolled towards a tree nearby. It was a helicopter!
He didn't dare to carry out any ambush plans and quickly ran to an area with dense woods.
Two strong lights swept across the mountain in search of the saber's whereabouts. Qi Xue and Panda also quickly climbed upwards.
The panda spotted signs of human activity and was about to go over when he tripped and heard a noise overhead.
"careful…"
Two huge rocks rolled down and the panda dove to the side, only to land on a crack half a person's width.
Because it was dark and the ground was covered with weeds, he didn't see and fell through.
Qi Xue ran over in a hurry, but before she could check if the panda was okay, a gunshot rang out from the woods, and Qi Xue fell headfirst into the crack...
…
Zhao Qishui sent He Shu to the airport, where Xia Miao was already waiting.
Xia Miao's father and mother were both there, and they greeted each other.
Dad Xia started chatting with Zhao Qishui, and Mom Xia nodded to He Shu again.
He Shu looked at Xia Miao, and Xia Miao cutely stuck out her tongue like a puppy.
"Auntie." He Shu walked up to Xia's mother and called out to her awkwardly.
"Well, it's cold, why are you wearing so little?"
He Shu was a little uncomfortable with Xia Miao's mother's sudden concern : "I'm not afraid of the cold, Auntie."
"Well, you two are going to school outside, you have to take good care of yourselves and each other. Our Xia Miao is still a child, so He Shu, you should take care of her more."
"Okay, don't worry, Auntie. I will take good care of Xia Miao."
Xia Miao's mother nodded: "Next time you come back, let Miao Miao bring you home to play."
Xia Miao smiled sweetly and held her mother's arm.
After talking for a while, it was time to board the plane. He Shu helped Xia Miao carry the small suitcase and said goodbye to his godfather and Xia Miao's parents.
After entering the waiting room, Xia Miao immediately put her arm around He Shu's.
"How did your mother...?"
Xia Miao glanced at him with a smile: "What happened to my mother?"
"Nothing..." He Shu also smiled. It seemed that Xia Miao's parents both agreed with their relationship.
I had originally imagined that I might need to work hard and do something to prove that I could take good care of Xia Miao in the future.
But unexpectedly, Xia Miao's family accepted him so quickly, which made He Shu feel very lucky.
In fact, what he didn't know was that all this was also thanks to Xia Miao's father.
On weekdays, I often do ideological work for Xia Miao's mother.
It’s not that he is willing to let a girl fall in love while she is still in school.
But children nowadays become sensible at an early age, and Xia Miao is no longer a child.
Since this kind of situation is bound to happen, it’s better to find someone who knows you well.
Xia Miao's father analyzed the situation for his wife and learned that although He Shu had no father or mother, the child would be able to work hard and get into a good school under such circumstances.
This is enough to show that He Shu is more persevering than other children. As long as such a child has good character, his future achievements will not be too bad.
Xia Miao's mother also knew that Xia Miao went to study in another province, so she couldn't control her even if she wanted to.
Xia Miao also told her mother a little about He Shu's past. Women are emotional, and after Xia Miao's mother heard it, she felt very sorry for He Shu.
Seeing that both the father and daughter thought He Shu was a good boy, she thought to herself that there was indeed nothing wrong with the child.
So today, after seeing He Shu, Xia Miao's mother's attitude was different from before, and she took the initiative to invite He Shu to her home next time.
Only by having more contact with people can you know what they are like.
But then again, this is also because Xia Miao's mother thinks He Shu is a good student, and at least he will have a good diploma here in the future, so he is a potential stock.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed so quickly.
Soon the plane took off and He Shu's cell phone was turned off.
At the same time, another military aircraft was flying towards Dadu.
Three hours later, He Shu and Xia Miao got off the plane, picked up their luggage, and just turned on their mobile phones when they received a series of missed call alerts.
He Shu looked down and saw that they were all calls from his uncle and Zhou Zhensheng.
He suddenly , and hurriedly called back...
