Chapter 884: Truly Damn Terrified; We Almost Lost Our Lives There

The comrades from the unit not only saved them but also helped change the tire, then drove them to the next settlement of herdsmen before leaving to report back.

Before they left, Captain Ma asked for the unit's designation and their names, preparing to send a thank-you letter to express his gratitude.

After going through such a calamity, everyone wore an expression of lingering fear; none were not terrified.

Putting aside everything else, they first sent the injured several to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the few waiting outside all slumped to the ground there.

Sister Jiang finally reacted: "Liu Chuxue, your martial arts are formidable. If not for that whip, Captain Ma would have suffered terribly."

As she spoke, she climbed over to sit beside Liu Chuxue: "With such small arms and legs, where did you get such great strength?"

Everyone looked over as well, all wanting to hear her answer.

Liu Chuxue coughed lightly: "I was naturally stronger than ordinary people. I trained with my master before, and later my fiancé taught me some more, just in case I encountered trouble and needed self-defense. To be honest, today was likely an extraordinary performance; I didn't know where such great strength came from at the time."

Captain Ma happened to return just then, walked over, and bowed deeply to Liu Chuxue: "Comrade Xiao, thank you. From now on, you are my own sister. If there is trouble at the factory, just call out, and I will never hesitate to give my life."

As soon as he stopped standing, Liu Chuxue quickly sprang up: "We came out to handle business together; encountering trouble naturally means risking our lives to save each other. If it were you, I believe you would do the same."

In an instant, everyone's affection for Liu Chuxue surged upward.

Captain Ma looked at everyone's appearance one by one and couldn't help but smile: "It's good. At least after this incident, we are all still alive."

But as he laughed, his eyes turned red: "I'm truly damn terrified; we almost lost our lives there."

Just then, the few who went for bandaging came out.

Captain Ma put aside his sorrowful reflections: "Go, go, go. Quickly find a place to stay first. I still have a pack of milk powder; everyone will brew a cup in a moment to warm their bodies."

In the middle of the night, thinking of finding food was out of the question.

They just didn't expect that when they went to check in, they happened to meet the few people left behind earlier. They had also checked in at this guesthouse, but since they hadn't seen them return, hearing the car engine, they wanted to come down to see if it was them.

But as soon as they saw them, they were startled: "What happened to you?"

The person behind asked: "You didn't run into a robbery, did you?"

Seeing the injured and their clothes, they asked: "Did you encounter wolves on the road?"

Bateer smiled bitterly and nodded: "Indeed, we met wolves halfway. Fortunately, people from the unit passed by; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Remembering something, he laughed again: "But it wasn't entirely a bad thing. Those wolves that were beaten to death were brought back, which can be considered compensation for everyone."

Bateer naturally said these words on purpose. After all, he had contributed effort, so those wolves naturally had to include his share; he had to calm his own nerves, didn't he?

Captain Ma, being such a shrewd person, had now calmed down somewhat: "Bateer, this time we owe you a debt. Rest assured, your share will not be reduced by a single bit. Everyone is tired; let's arrange accommodation first. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

Sister Jiang and Sister Huang were not lightly frightened; even now, they still felt somewhat unsteady.

After the three entered the room, Sister Huang said: "We are truly still alive. At that time, I thought that if anything happened, I wouldn't worry about anyone else, only my old mother whose health is poor. I feared she wouldn't survive either. Thinking of that, my heart ached with a cramp."
