Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 591 Timely rescue III

Tang Ziyi removed the body and saw a pale woman, breathing weakly and groaning from pain through the NVGs.

"Sophia? Can you hear me?" She scanned her thoroughly and found the wounds. Sophia was shot in the chest, very close to the heart.

As for how she discerned the bullet had hit close to the heart and not the heart itself, anyone with a damaged heart wouldn't survive, let alone continue breathing.

Tang Ziyi's question recollected Sophia's thoughts, as her eyes regained focus. She glanced at Tang Ziyi and said enviously, "These two are really lucky. The country didn't abandon them as I thought. Although I spoke as if the outside attacks were just to rescue them, I never expected my words to be so true."

She coughed and chuckled, genuinely jealous. Why couldn't such good things happen to her?

From Tang Ziyi's conversation in their mother tongue with the two agents, Sophia understood the ins and outs of the chaos outside. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

"Well, it's good that you're still conscious. Don't talk; let me treat you," Tang Ziyi replied, tearing Sophia's shirt.

"You? It's useless. You'd better take those two and leave fast. This place will soon be filled with rats," Sophia snorted, hissing slightly at Tang Ziyi's movements. "I never thought I'd be so close to death. Just give me morphine. I hope to sleep without pain."

Seeing her eyes, Tang Ziyi had already decided to make a move, particularly more determined after listening to Athena's explanation of Sophia's background.

A former Interpol agent was thrown here and suffered so much humiliation and injustice. There might be more secrets, but it was enough as long as Sophia stuck to her original morals and conduct.

"I said, don't waste it. Are you trying to torture me?" Sophia's aggression was ignored by Tang Ziyi, who had already assessed the injury level.@@@@

She flipped off her NVGs and turned on a small yet very bright torchlight on her helmet to attend to the wound.

"Don't talk."

"You..." Sophia was a little speechless, her eyes moistening. How long had it been since someone treated her as a human?

The only man carrying the unconscious woman didn't speak either, his mood low. Without Sophia, they both might have already died, even if rescue was on the way.

Of course, he stayed away to avoid disturbing Tang Ziyi's work. The unconscious woman still needed treatment. So many unknown drugs had been injected; who knew how damaged she was internally?

Ping! Ping! Pap! Pap!

The noise from the entrance caught their attention. Ling Qingyu avoided exposure a little as sparks flew by, then stretched out her HK417 to suppress the enemy.

Her head swiveled left and right because she was the only person on guard. Both the front and back were vulnerable to enemy assault.

Though she and Tang Ziyi had struck mercilessly before reaching this floor, deterring the enemies, she couldn't rely on the opponent's psychology.

"I know you're having a sweet moment, but you'd better hurry up," shouted Ling Qingyu as sporadic gunfire resumed. "I don't know whether we poked the hornet's nest, but those guards seem fearless in their attacks."

Tang Ziyi patched everything up and turned her attention toward the unconscious woman. "Kirin, hold on for 5 minutes."

"You have 2 minutes, I'm telling you!" Ling Qingyu refused, getting busy again. "Damn it, it's just a spoiled brat. Do you need to come and die?!"

Tang Ziyi didn't respond, hurrying her progress. Quickly diagnosing the condition, Tang Ziyi delivered a basic tranquilizer from Ling Qingyu. This was the most she could do.

Further treatment required testing the drugs and treatment plan from doctors. Really, the two female patients needed to be transported to the hospital ASAP.

Fortunately, the man, despite bruises and bleeding, remained strong. Yet it didn't mean a careful diagnosis of him wasn't necessary.

"Done. You'll carry your partner and follow us." She ordered and only switched her attention after seeing the man nod. "Kirin, princess-carry our foreign girl. Pay attention to her condition and injury. Though I've treated her to guarantee the wound remains stable, you need to be cautious."

"Copy. Moving," Ling Qingyu replied and hurried toward Sophia. Tang Ziyi replaced her and kept the pressure.

A moment later, Ling Qingyu and the others were ready, positioned behind Tang Ziyi. The former had slung her rifle on her back. She didn't feel any weight despite carrying an adult female—a tall one at that.

In contrast, the man struggled a little, but his case was understandable. Being no hindrance was good enough. He also picked up a few magazines and a pistol from the corpses.

Ling Qingyu held the woman with one hand and, with the other, took out a smoke grenade, then signaled to Tang Ziyi.

"The way we came here?"

"The same way we're going out."

Grabbing the grenade, Tang Ziyi threw it far in front of the suspected gang members who were still firing. "Smoke out!"

Compared to conventional smoke grenades, Athena's product exploded and sped up the spread of mist.

Several seconds passed, and the already dark vision became more obscured. Tang Ziyi stepped out and fired a few rounds. The enemy kept firing blindly, and Tang Ziyi intended to eliminate them.

Under the smoke, her thermal vision provided a clear sight. She neutralized many threats who became lax from the smoke, thinking their opponents couldn't see them either.

"Move!"

Ling Qingyu took the lead, dashing toward the emergency staircase, followed by the "couple." She cradled Sophia close to her chest with one hand while her other hand held her secondary weapon, ready to engage hostiles.

Tang Ziyi walked backward, maintaining momentum. The incoming fire decreased noticably. The group trusted Tang Ziyi's cover and raced forward without looking back.

Boom!

A door swung open, startling everyone. "Hey, don't leave! Aren't you here to rescue me?"
