Chapter 774: Quick Reaction

at the First Military Academy. There are plenty of outstanding talents there, and these prodigies naturally have abundant fortune. It could absorb as much as possible, accumulating little by little,...Ripple wasn't someone who suffered losses. While she was flying backward, she had already locked onto the sniper's position. She raised her hand and threw a grenade over. This was a desert plain; where there wasn't ice, there were towering rock formations that provided little cover. Otherwise, Lu wouldn't have his men hiding under the ice.

A deafening explosion roared, followed by a figure being blown out and landing hard on the icy surface. They were likely either dead or unconscious.

A soft "meow" rang in Ripple's ear, the sound of a whirlwind asking its feline master if they were well.

"I'm fine! Carry on!"

A ripple stirred on the icy surface, dodging the pursuit of bullets. Holding a small submachine gun in her hand, she unleashed a barrage at the gunman. Wasn't it just a matter of outgunning him She had never lost before!

Seeing that his feline master was fine, the black whirlwind also transformed into a streak of lightning, dashing into the ambush of bad guys. It pounced on their necks and eyes, its tiny paws dancing menacingly, leaving five or six of them injured.

Although the other side had a numerical advantage, Ripples' powerful weapons and the support of the whirlwind allowed them to win the battle in less than an hour.

The military and police who had been waiting for support at their heels, saw the signal plus that explosion, immediately sped up their car, almost as if they arrived in the moment when the ripples knocked down all the ambushers.

A long screech of brakes echoed as the car finally came to a halt on the icy surface, perilously close to the groaning figure sprawled on the ground. The startled individual scrambled away in terror.

As soon as the car came to a stop, someone jumped out and ran straight towards Ripples.

"As soon as we received the signal, we came running. Are you all right"

"It's fine, Lu set a trap, but I've already dealt with it. You guys arrange for people to go down through that broken ice cave, my companions need backup."

The ripples spoke in a steady, measured tone.

“Yes! Let’s go down now.”

Lin Yi, in charge of the support, immediately waved his hand. After three army vehicles came to a stop, they began to divide their tasks. The people in one vehicle handled the scene, controlling those affected by both ripples and whirlwinds. As for the dead, well, let them just consider themselves unlucky. The people in another vehicle fastened ropes to the vehicle and then descended into the ice cave one by one. The last vehicle remained on standby, watching out for any stragglers nearby.

People have already started using radio to contact headquarters, it's estimated they will be sending reinforcements. The food storage under the ice looks like there is a lot of supplies, although half of it has been soaked, it has been frozen solid by the extreme cold and preserved perfectly. When taken out and dried, it should still be edible, which could sustain a large number of people.

Now the whirlwind was back in Ripple's arms, being petted on the head by her. A pair of beautiful cat eyes stared towards the direction of the ice cave.

Even Lian Yi's face was a little somber, Dong Ziqing truly deserved to die, she actually dared to scheme against her. I estimate that there will be some fighting among the people below as well.

Half an hour later, Situ Yi was the first to be pulled up. After coming up, he looked around and found Lianri standing there perfectly unharmed. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to Lianri and said:

"Captain Yuan was injured!"

"How serious is it"

"I got shot in the arm, but luckily we were all wearing bulletproof vests!"

What about the others

"The remaining people are fine, they just have some superficial wounds. I guess because they were under the ice, they didn't dare to use explosives, fearing they would bury themselves alive. Besides, there weren't many people ambushing inside."

Of course, not many are left. People are all ambushing above. As long as we control the only exit from the top and capture everyone coming down, it wouldn't take minutes at all.

Ripples said helplessly.

"Well, you're right."

Did they catch that Rikizuka

What Ripple cares about is this.

"He was captured because of this, and that's how Yuan Squad got injured."

What were they thinking Why would they ambush us

The ripples frowned and asked.

Even if it were to hoard all the food, they should at least wait until they get the food out from under the ice. It's a bit too early to act now.

"I don't know about that either, anyway, the person has already been caught. Let's bring him back and interrogate him again!"

Sistru Yi shook his head.

Before the two could even say a few words, Yuan Chongming was also pulled up. The two quickly surrounded him. The other person had gauze wrapped around his left arm, which had already been treated simply, and he was lying on a stretcher being carried up.

"Yuan Gege, are you alright"

"It's okay!"

Yuan Chongming shook his head.

"Is it a scratch or a penetrating wound Has the bullet been removed"

Ripples asked directly.

"The bullet should still be in his body. We'll have to wait until we get back to remove it."

Yuan Chongming's face was a little pale, but because he had good physique, he still looked alright.

"Leave the rest to them. Let's head back to base first. I'll take the bullets out of you and we can talk then. Luckily, Dr. Liu brought a new set of surgical tools when he glowed."

Ripple immediately spoke.

Yes, it would be bad if the bullet were to wander around inside the body with the blood.

"Here is Captain Lin, our mission is complete, the rest is up to them!"

Si Tu Yi interjected.

Following closely behind Yuan Chongming were Sun Zhou, Chu Hong, Li Qian, Sun Weifeng, and Zhao Jia. Upon arriving, they first checked on Lian Yi to ensure she was alright. Then, they all urged Yuan Chongming to return home first.

In the end, they drove off directly in a car, returning to their base. Yuan Chongming was carried back to his residence, frightening Liu Zili and his wife as well as Jia Yao, especially Jia Yao, whose eyes were filled with tears but wouldn't fall. When he saw Lianyi, he rushed over to her.

Ripples picked up the little guy and comforted him.

"Jaya, don't worry, your uncle got injured while catching the bad guys. Now Uncle Liu and Aunt Xu are treating his wound. Let's not bother them, okay"

"Will my little uncle really not leave me"

He wept with eyes brimming tears, and asked.

"No, you just stay out of their way and your uncle will wake up soon."

"Okay, I'll listen!"

Jiayao hugged Lianyi's neck, indicating that he would be obedient.

Liu Zili and Xu Fenfang, while comforting the little boy in ripples, had already cleared the area and prepared for disinfection, driving away all idle people. They began to treat Yuan Chongming's gunshot wounds.

The ripples took everyone directly to their own rooms, then took out the first aid kit and let everyone treat each other's wounds. Although it wasn't as serious as Yuan Chongming's injuries, to prevent infection, after bandaging they each ate a painkiller pill.

The ripples allowed Jia Yao to keep up with the whirlwind, distracting him for a moment. He then asked about the others and what happened after they went down.

“At first, things seemed normal. We took a quick look and saw that while the granary was flooded halfway, the other half remained unfrozen. It was clear that some grain had been removed. We knew it must have been Mr. Lu who did it, but we didn't want to make a fuss. So, we decided to start taking inventory.”

That guy talked to Yuan's team, seemingly wanting to recruit us to join their squad. And the terms they offered were pretty tempting.

Before Yuan's team could reply, a head came crashing down, followed by half a body!en motives, gathered together and set off on the road to the next mission point.The ripples on the other side were unaware that their disciple had already met with the Ghost King, Hong Ji. She was cur...
