Chapter 440: Chapter 60: Asking for Votes

The horse was about to trample her.

Her eyes widened in horror, and in the next second, the horse let out a voice strained with exhaustion.

The horse was forcefully punched to the ground by someone.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly supported Yun Xiao, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

At that moment, the gunfire stopped.

Clearly, the criminals, having seen Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao injured and no longer posing a threat, ceased fire.

They rode their horses, surrounding Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao.

"Two women have killed over thirty of our men. We admire you, but opposing us has only one outcome, death!" Their sinister voices were like the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

In an instant, dozens of weapons were aimed at Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao.

Xu Shaohua was taken aback. He rushed forward, standing in front of Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao, and said in panic, "If you want to kill someone, come at me. They’re just women!"

"Wanting to play the hero to save the beauties now, hahaha! It’s too late."

"Boss, hurry up and kill them and let’s go. Otherwise, if the reinforcements arrive, we’ll be in trouble," urged one of the criminals.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched the dagger in her hand and lifted her icy eyes, looking at everyone with a trace of bloodthirsty smile, "You think you can just walk away so easily? You can treat Dongxia’s soldiers as rookies. But if you think you can treat us like fish on a cutting board, you’re wrong."

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, a series of loud gunshots rang out again.

The criminals began falling one after another.

When Gu Xiaoxi looked up, the soldiers of the Z division had all arrived to provide support.

They immediately surrounded the criminals and launched a fierce attack.

Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to grab Yun Xiao and Xu Shaohua and used qinggong to leap out of the enemy’s encirclement.

By then, she had used up the last bit of her inner strength.

She could no longer stand up.

She watched Zhao Zilong and Shao Changfeng charge to the front, blocking the enemy for them.

She saw Yi Chentian and Zhong Ming rushing forward fearlessly amidst the battle flame.

She saw the other soldiers of the Z division, valiant as tigers.

Just thirty-some people had the remaining seventy-odd enemies retreating in defeat, utterly unable to fight back.

Yeh Bai was the first to rush over, and upon seeing the injured Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao, his face blanched with shock, "What have you done to get so badly hurt?"

"Enough talk! Hurry and save people, everyone’s injured." Gu Xiaoxi, after a long battle and driving her dagger, had her spiritual power completely drained. After using inner strength to employ qinggong, it too was exhausted.

Now, she felt like an ordinary person.

Even, she felt her vision go black as dizziness overwhelmed her.

Before she could see the victory of the battle, she fainted.

Upon a closer count, she found that she had suffered injuries in four places.

And had already lost a lot of blood...

When Gu Xiaoxi woke up again, it was already the third day.

The air was still sultry, and her body was in pain that made her inhale sharply.

She tried to get up.

But unexpectedly, her body was so numb that she couldn’t move at all, with her limbs as stiff as if they had been disassembled.

Yun Xiao had been by her bedside all along, and upon seeing her awake, stood up happily and said, "You’re awake! Yeh Bai, Xiao Xi is awake."

Outside the infirmary, Yeh Bai, hearing this, immediately put down what he was working on and rushed to Gu Xiaoxi’s bedside, "My dear lady. You’ve finally woken up, you scared me to death."

If anything had happened to Gu Xiaoxi, how would he explain to Young Master Quan?

Gu Xiaoxi blinked wearily, and after regaining a bit of strength,

She looked around with wide eyes, obviously, this place was already the base.

She turned to Yun Xiao, and asked nervously, "Have all the enemies been captured?"

Yun Xiao pursed her lips and nodded heavily. "Xiao Xi, I have already reported the details of this incident to the superiors. Your effort in fighting alone is commendable. You will surely receive recognition."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi stared blankly at the ceiling and sighed, "What’s the use of recognition? So many people were sacrificed unnecessarily in the chaos of battle. Yun Xiao, none of them had to die."

Yun Xiao clenched her fist and said nothing.

The overall command of this operation was a general from Dongqi Country. The person responsible for the operation was also from Liuli Country, and all the orders were issued by them.

The peacekeeping forces were only there to support the combat.

They didn’t think it would turn out like this.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, wondering what Dongqi Country’s understanding of life really was, to be able to treat so many lives as trifles.

When they first fell into the trap, so many people were killed or injured.

Didn’t they immediately send the nearest people to rescue them?

They actually just pulled people out of their own ranks to come for support.

If it hadn’t been for the people from Division Z rushing over with the highest speed and all their might to support them,

I’m afraid, everyone would have indeed died in battle.

Because, I couldn’t have led so many injured people to escape. I had to fight with them until the very last moment.

"I’m going to heal now. Yun Xiao, you should rest too," Gu Xiaoxi closed her eyes.

Yeh Bai sighed, "You take good care of yourself. You’ve been approved for half a month’s leave! Why do you, a girl, rush to the front? You were the most seriously injured, if I had arrived any later, you wouldn’t have survived."

"Nag! Don’t tell Shaoqing about this. You go too!" Gu Xiaoxi looked at the two people beside her, giving her orders in a serious tone.

Yeh Bai hurriedly nodded, "I wouldn’t dare tell him. If he knew you were injured, he would turn this maintenance base upside down."

"Good that you know!" said Gu Xiaoxi in an indifferent tone.

After Yeh Bai left,

She began to operate the secrets of Spiritual Cultivation, starting to Practice Techniques.

At this moment, her body’s sea of energy was empty.

Spiritual Energy and Inner Strength, both had reached the point of exhaustion.

One hour after she operated the secret technique, finally there was movement in her sea of energy.

She heard a slight cracking sound, followed by a stream of air that surged into the sea of energy like the tide.

In the dry sea of energy, incredibly, a green Crystal ball the size of a thumb had condensed.

The Crystal ball was dazzling.

Inside the sea of energy, driven by Gu Xiaoxi’s secret techniques, it continuously exhaled dense Spiritual Energy to fill her parched sea of energy.

In just half an hour, Gu Xiaoxi found that the Spiritual Energy inside her body not only became denser.

Her Inner Strength actually separated from the Spiritual Energy and flowed into the dantian.

At the same time, the denser the Spiritual Energy, the stronger the Inner Strength.

Both seemed to have a kind of cherishing sentiment towards each other.

Great.

Gu Xiaoxi, with her eyes closed, immediately adjusted the Spiritual Energy to flow throughout her body, healing the wounds.

Two hours later, Gu Xiaoxi sat up from the bed.

The wounds didn’t hurt as much as before, and had all crusted over, looking like they were about to heal.

She didn’t heal them all at once, instead opting to do so gradually.

There was no need to alarm others.

Gu Xiaoxi moved her legs and arms. She remembered that previously, her calf and left arm were wounded. Her stomach and shoulder were also severely injured.

Now, she was actually able to walk on the ground, and though the wounds still hurt, it was much better compared to when she couldn’t move at all.

When Yeh Bai saw her getting out of bed, he was startled and quickly ran up to support Gu Xiaoxi, reprimanding her, "You woman, you’re still not behaving even now. Get back in bed immediately, with injuries like those, you shouldn’t be up and about. If the wounds split open, they won’t heal in half a month."

"You’re worrying too much!" Gu Xiaoxi raised her arm, moved it around a bit, then pointed to the gauze on her arm, "Take a look. It’s almost healed."

"You’re joking, right! I just changed your dressing this morning, and the wounds were just beginning to heal. You moving like this, they definitely split open again. Get back in bed now," Yeh Bai forcefully pushed Gu Xiaoxi back onto the sickbed.

Hurriedly unraveling her bandages, he expected to see the wounds burst open, bleeding profusely. Instead, what he saw was that the wounds had shrunken by half and were partially covered with thick scabs.

With the rate of healing on these wounds, an ordinary person would need at least ten days of rest to reach this stage.

"Freak! Your wounds are healing way too fast!" Yeh Bai stood stunned, exclaiming in shock.

"Making a big fuss over nothing, my Inner Strength is so strong. What’s a little injury like this? I’m hungry, I want to eat. Also, get me the computer. I want to write a report and send a letter back home," declared Gu Xiaoxi expressionlessly.

"I can understand if you want to eat. But writing a report, sending a letter back home, what are you talking about?" Yeh Bai was puzzled.

Gu Xiaoxi huffed coldly, her expression serious, "I am applying to have the command of Liuli Country’s troops in my own hands. From now on, all peacekeeping operations will be our own. We will accept our own missions, execute them on our own, and our own people will command. We absolutely will not cooperate with the troops of Dongqi Country."

Yeh Bai hesitated for a moment, seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s expression, he realized she was serious.

And this mission, he had heard about it from Yun Xiao and Xu Shaohua.

It was indeed due to Dongqi Country’s mismanagement and the team leader’s mistake that led to the death of comrades.

If it wasn’t for Gu Xiaoxi fighting desperately and pleading for reinforcements, everyone would have died.

And the enemy would have escaped.

But still, would that work? They were originally here to help. If they wanted to turn the tables, it wouldn’t be so easy.

At the same time, in a low-rise house in a certain city in the east,

A middle-aged man was raging, "Two hundred men, and yet they can’t even overcome thirty or forty soldiers. What use are you to me!"
