Chapter 132 Alien Invasion 9
Despite her injuries, Su Lan fired at the alien again. Energy pulses relentlessly bombarded the alien, which then turned and lunged at Su Lan.
Su Lan rolled away to dodge the attack, but the violent movement tore his wounds even wider, and blood soaked through his clothes.
"Su Lan!" Shen Ying was extremely anxious. She seized a gap in the alien's attack and smashed the alien's head hard with a steel pipe.
A fierce battle raged like a storm within the research institute.
Holding a steel pipe, Shen Ying dodged and weaved through the alien's attacks.
Each time the alien's sharp claws sliced through the air, a chilling whistling sound followed. Shen Ying's heart pounded wildly in her chest, and cold sweat soaked her back.
Su Lan continuously fired energy pulses at the alien with her weapon.
The weapon's light flickered in the darkness, and each pulse struck the alien's hard shell, sending sparks flying.
But the alien was unusually ferocious; it suddenly turned around and pounced on Su Lan.
Su Lan was unable to dodge in time and was knocked away by the alien's impact, crashing heavily to the ground, blood gushing from her wounds.
"Su Lan!" Shen Ying exclaimed. Ignoring her fear, she brandished the steel pipe and charged toward the alien attacking Su Lan.
Just as the alien was about to pounce on the injured Su Lan again, she used all her strength to smash the steel pipe into the alien's leg joint.
The alien roared in pain and turned to face Shen Ying.
At this point, the survivors, led by their leader, also launched an attack.
The leader, wielding a long sword, lunged forward and thrust it towards the alien's eye, slicing a gash across the alien's face.
"Everyone, charge!" the leader shouted, his voice like a horn in the chaotic battle.
Other survivors either wielded sticks and struck the alien's abdomen with each blow, each strike fueled by their anger and will to survive; or they used homemade bows and arrows to shoot at the alien's head, the arrows raining down on it.
Surrounded by the crowd's attacks, the alien frantically waved its claws, trying to break free.
Shen Ying seized the opportunity and charged at the alien again. She leaped high into the air and smashed the alien's head hard with the steel pipe.
She used all her strength in that blow, and the alien staggered a few steps from the impact.
Just as the alien was preparing to retaliate, Su Lan forced himself to pick up his weapon and fired a final burst of energy pulses at the alien.
The powerful energy impact caused the alien to crash to the ground, struggle for a few moments, and then lay still.
Seeing its companion fall, the other alien became even more ferocious and charged towards the crowd.
But under the combined attack of everyone, it gradually became no match.
The survivors worked together, some drawing the alien's attention while others seized the opportunity to attack its vitals.
Ultimately, the alien was successfully subdued.
After the battle, the entire research institute was in a state of chaos.
Su Lan could no longer hold on and slowly slid down the wall. His face was as white as paper and his lips were bloodless.
Shen Ying rushed to his side, her eyes filled with tears and worry.
She carefully hugged Su Lan, afraid of hurting him, and said in a trembling voice, "You can't be hurt, you can't be hurt."
Su Lan weakly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Shen Ying's cheeks, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, we won."
As the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, the research institute was left in a state of chaos.
Shen Ying helped the injured Su Lan lean against the wall and hurriedly checked his wounds. She saw that the blood had soaked through the gauze, and the situation was not good.
"Su Lan, hang in there, let me re-bandage you first," Shen Ying said anxiously, frantically searching for medical supplies around her.
At this moment, the survivors gathered around. The young survivor who had accidentally shot Su Lan stood at the back of the crowd with a guilty look on his face, his eyes darting around, not daring to look directly at Su Lan and Shen Ying.
The survivor leader stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "We really owe you all this time. If it weren't for your help, we would probably all have perished in the jaws of the aliens."
Su Lan forced a smile and weakly replied, "The best outcome would be if everyone could survive together. Where are you headed?"
The leader sighed: "We're heading to Dawn Base. I heard it's relatively safe there, with more survivors gathered and better defenses. But the journey has been difficult, and we've almost run out of supplies, which is why we're here."
Shen Ying and Su Lan exchanged a glance, and Su Lan nodded. So, while carefully treating Su Lan's wound, she said, "We still have some supplies. You can take some with you. You'll need them on the way."
The young survivor couldn't help but take a few steps forward, head bowed, her voice trembling with tears: "I...I'm so sorry, I'm the one who hurt you, and you're still so kind to us..."
Su Lan smiled slightly, though her face was pale: "It's nothing, it was just an accident, don't worry about it."
After treating the wounds, Shen Ying and Su Lan began to organize the supplies.
Shen Ying carefully selected the food, setting aside some that were not easily perishable and could provide sufficient energy.
Afterwards, she worked with Su Lan to organize some simple but practical melee weapons and a small amount of ammunition.
When they brought the supplies to the survivors, the survivors were taken aback at first, then their eyes were filled with gratitude.
The leader stepped forward, looking at Shen Ying and the others with tears in his eyes, "You...you are such good people, but are you sure you don't want to come with us?"
Shen Ying and the others shook their heads, declining the invitation once again.
The survivors left one after another with their supplies, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance at the end of the road.
At this moment, the research institute returned to tranquility, leaving only Shen Ying and Su Lan.
Shen Ying helped Su Lan back to the laboratory.
In the time that followed, Shen Ying devoted herself to taking care of Su Lan.
In the early morning, while the sky was still a little hazy, Shen Ying got up quietly and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She had something on her mind, but she still hoped to do something for Su Lan.
While busy in the kitchen, she temporarily put those worries aside, focusing all her attention on making sure Su Lan ate well.
She prepared diligently, showing consideration for Su Lan in every step.
When she brought the tray to Su Lan's bedside, the food on the tray looked rather comical, with some having peculiar color combinations and others having crooked and twisted shapes.
At this moment, Shen Ying temporarily forgot about her poor cooking skills. She scooped up a spoonful and held it to Su Lan's lips, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness. Her previous worry about Su Lan's injuries quietly resurfaced.
Su Lan opened her mouth and ate it, her brows furrowing slightly and the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.
Shen Ying hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is it not good?" Su Lan quickly regained her gentle smile, shook her head and said, "No, it's just that the taste is a bit special."
Su Lan was thinking quickly. She couldn't let Shen Ying cook anymore, but she couldn't hurt her feelings either, and she also had to make sure that both of them had regular meals.
He ate quickly and heartily, as if afraid that Shen Ying would notice that he was actually having some difficulty eating, while secretly making plans in his mind.
