109 Everything Has a Cause and Effect
Du Yue turned around and looked at He Xing and Zuo Mingdong. “I’m done here. I’ll go back first.”
He Xing nodded and said in a gentle tone, “Go back and warm yourself up first. I’ll go with Captain Zuo to count the number of animals we’ve killed. I’ll be back after calculating the contribution points.”
When Zuo Mingdong heard He Xing’s words, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even at this moment, He Xing’s mind was still only focused on the contribution points. However, he could not find any fault with them. After all, He Xing and Du Yue had indeed provided them with a lot of help.
As long as they killed wild animals, they would be rewarded with contribution points. This had been decided from the very beginning of the mission. No matter what happened, this could not be changed. Du Yue nodded at He Xing and smiled politely at Zuo Mingdong. Then, she turned around and went back to the room.
As Du Yue walked farther and farther away, He Xing casually glanced at Wang Tong. Seeing that her face was still filled with fear, he sneered and looked away.
“Captain Zuo, let’s start counting!” Hearing He Xing’s urging, Zuo Mingdong smiled helplessly.
“Since you’ve said so, let’s start.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t take much time.” He Xing explained gently, “Our bullets are different from yours. As long as we dig out the bullets from the animals, we can count how many we killed.”
“So that’s how it is. That makes things a lot easier! Let’s start.” The two of them walked into the courtyard without looking back. No one looked at Wang Tong and the girl called Qi Qi again.
Qi Qi, who was still clamoring earlier, became completely silent after seeing Du Yue point the gun at Wang Tong’s head. She hid to the side, afraid that others would vent their anger on her. It was only when she saw that He Xing and Zuo Mingdong had brought their men far away that Qi Qi walked to Wang Tong’s side. “Tong Tong, are you alright?”
“Oh my God.” Wang Tong hesitated for a long time. She was a little embarrassed to say it, but she had to admit it. “My pants are frozen and stuck to my legs.”
“Your pants are stuck to your legs?” Qi Qi was a little confused. “Why are your pants stuck to your legs?” As soon as she said that, she thought of a possibility. “Tong Tong, did you…”
Did she wet her pants? She was too embarrassed to ask, but both of them understood. Wang Tong felt embarrassed, but she could only admit it. She sobbed. “Qi Qi, what should I do? I can’t move at all.”
This was the first time Qi Qi had encountered such a situation, and she could not think of any solution. “Tong Tong, stay here and don’t move. I’ll get someone to help you!” After Qi Qi finished speaking, she turned around and ran toward the lobby. Wang Tong did not have time to stop her, nor did she want to stop her. She could not move at all right now. She just wanted someone to quickly bring her back to her room. Otherwise, she felt that she would definitely freeze to death if she continued to stand in this world of ice and snow.
Qi Qi was very fast. Within a few minutes, she came back with a few people. The one who was running in the front was Zhang Zhifeng. Zhang Zhifeng was the first to run to Wang Tong. He looked at her worriedly. “Tong Tong, what’s wrong with you?”
Hearing Zhang Zhifeng’s voice, Wang Tong burst into tears. Tears had just gathered in her eyes, but before they could fall, they were already frozen to the corners of her eyes.
Wang Tong felt a sharp pain in the corners of her eyes and was scared out of her wits. She quickly wiped away her tears and stopped crying. “Zhifeng, my legs are frozen and I can’t move. You have to find a way to get me to the lobby! It’s too cold. I feel like I’m going to freeze to death!”
“Alright, alright! No problem. Tong Tong, don’t be anxious. We’ll carry you in right away.” It took a lot of effort for the few of them to lift Wang Tong up and hurriedly walk to the lobby. Their movements were not small. Zuo Mingdong also followed the sound and looked over. Since the distance was not too far, Zuo Mingdong could hear their conversation clearly.
Knowing that Wang Tong’s legs were frozen, he knew that she would not be able to live for long anymore. Her pants and legs were frozen, and the ice was freezing very quickly. Even if she went into the lobby and took off her clothes, her legs would already have been frozen stiff by then.
With such a large area of frostbite, ordinary frostbite ointment would no longer be an effective treatment. They could not go back to the base tonight, but Wang Tong’s legs needed urgent treatment. Thinking of the cause of this incident, Zuo Mingdong sighed a little, but he did not say anything in the end.
Everything had a cause and effect. From the moment she chose to jump out and exaggerate the nonsense, her fate had already been decided.
