Chapter 687: Chapter 684: Lu Xiao, Let’s Go Home (1)
It was their territory.
Once they stepped onto this primitive island, they became prey in their eyes.
Indeed, the rescue team had arrived, and Inoue Kami, who was still unconscious, had been placed aboard the large vessel.
And the rescuers, each still carrying a gun, were protecting the people on the shore. A helicopter squad had already gone in to search and rescue.
Wen Xian hadn’t boarded the ship but was pacing back and forth anxiously.
He feared that something unknown and terrible in the rainforest might harm Lu Xiao.
Though Lu Xiao was strong, the journey back was difficult.
Moreover, the journey was long, and carrying an object weighing over a hundred pounds on his return inevitably caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead, leaving him drenched in sweat.
The current problem was that they had completely collided with cannibalistic people, and it was unknown whether they had other accomplices.
So, all they could do was hurry back.
At that moment, David and the others suddenly heard a rumbling sound faintly carried on the air.
Looking up, they saw a helicopter!
Reinforcements had arrived!
David quickly waved, took off his yellow jacket, and waved it around as he shouted, “Hey…! We’re here…!”
They all climbed onto the helicopter using the rope ladder, except for Lu Xiao who, burdened with a person, was unable to climb.
In the end, he simply stepped onto the rope ladder. Grabbing onto the person over his shoulders with one hand, and the rope ladder with the other, as the helicopter took off, he too was lifted above the rainforest.
When Wen Xian saw Lu Xiao again, this was the scene she witnessed.
She stared with wide eyes, her eyes slightly reddened.
Her fists were clenched tightly, as if to bury into her palm, yet she was numb to the pain.
Thank God, he was okay, truly okay…!
Compared to the pain in her heart for him, she cared even more about his safety and life.
Everyone on the island’s beach who saw this scene was stunned.
It must be said, the low-key and reserved man from country Z, wasn’t just like a hero, he was a hero!
And yet, so many people had doubted and questioned him earlier, even binding him up…
When Lu Xiao touched down, and the helicopter subsequently landed smoothly on the ground,
as David and the others jumped down from the aircraft, everyone knew that the whole truth had come out.
However, the people on the beach screamed when they saw that Lu Xiao’s companion was covered in blood and seemed to be missing a leg…!
“Ah…! Where’s Mike’s leg?” Dannie asked in disbelief, her face ashen.
The two were from the same country, part of the same team.
But now, he was left with only one leg, and half dead as well.
Lu Xiao glanced at her without a word and walked straight towards Wen Xian, ignoring the woman entirely.
It was David who wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered,
“We owe Lu Xiao a lot this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know how many more might have died.”
As he said this, David looked at the others, his face pale, his legs unsteady, and said,
“Inside, there were cannibals. We tried our best to save him, but Mike’s leg was still chopped off and cooked for them to eat.”
Not only were the members of the Animal Protection Association stunned by his words, but even the support teams were shocked.
