Chapter 883: Chapter 888 Hopeful

Annastasia seemed extremely annoyed, but Brian fell silent.

The car was still speeding, but the pursuers had vanished. Brian stared into the rearview mirror, silent and seemingly lost in thought.

"You weren’t always like this. You were a clever man in your youth, but what’s happened to you now? Have we forgotten how to make use of McDonald, the master of explosives? A simple strategy on the road to create an explosion, to shake off pursuit temporarily. What are you thinking?"

Challenged by Annastasia’s fierce questioning, Brian opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Why stay behind, what for? To set up a defense line to stop the enemy from pursuing? We are spies! Our style is never to linger in battle but to quickly disengage. What are you trying to do, kill all the enemies?"

Annastasia wanted to say more, but then she saw Yang Yi.

There were still two cars parked by the roadside. Yang Yi stood by the door of one, so Annastasia immediately pulled over and shouted at Brian, "What are you still sitting there for?"

Brian was already in motion; he got out of the car and, together with Sergei from the back seat, they moved Vitali from the back of their vehicle to Yang Yi’s car.

Annastasia looked at Yang Yi and asked, "Why have you come yourself? Where is Steve?"

"He’s in a safe place, hurry up!"

Anton and his group also stopped their car, but they got into the one driven by Paul.

Annastasia ignited an incendiary grenade and threw it into the car she had been driving, then she threw another unlit incendiary grenade towards the distant Anton.

Anton caught the grenade, pulled the pin, and after throwing it into the abandoned vehicle, quickly got into the car.

The two cars resumed their escape. Yang Yi drove and urgently said, "There are no cameras here, but there are too many on the road. Woody is already prepared at the safehouse. Take the injured to the safehouse, while Paul and I will ditch the cars in a safe place before we head back."

Brian couldn’t help but ask, "Is Steve at the safehouse, too? Who’s looking after him? It’s too dangerous; he can’t be left at the safehouse!"

Before Yang Yi could respond, Annastasia angrily said, "Use your brain!"

Yang Yi spoke in a low voice, "He’s not at the safehouse! Kate took Steve to find Xiao Ran."

Brian wanted to ask more, but after glancing at Annastasia, he finally didn’t voice his question.

With a hint of admiration, Annastasia said, "The most dangerous place is the safest? This idea... not bad, a good choice under the current circumstances. But is Kate okay?"

"Don’t worry, you still don’t fully understand Kate. Her abilities are much stronger than you think."

After saying this, Yang Yi looked back at Vitali and asked, very despondently, "Is Vitali... dead?"

Brian reached to check Vitali’s neck and then said softly, "Yes, he’s dead."

Sergei was in the same car; he laid Vitali’s head on his lap, patted his back gently, and whispered, "Brother... I’ll take you home."

The car fell into a brief silence, and then Yang Yi angrily slammed the steering wheel.

With no pursuers in sight, the two vehicles safely reached the vicinity of the safehouse.

Yang Yi commanded in a heavy tone, "Prepare to disembark, quickly!"

Yang Yi stopped the car, and then several people drenched in blood pulled two immobile individuals out of the vehicle. Yang Yi and Paul quickly drove away again.

Yang Yi and Paul would ditch the car far away, but at this time, Brian and the others were finally safe.

The door was open. After the severely wounded were brought into the safety house, Anton and Zhang Yong grabbed sand and immediately went outside to cover and clean the bloodstains on the ground.

Woody, wearing a pair of medical gloves, stood in the living room. He stood in the center and, after seeing several people brought in, immediately shouted, "Put them all on the ground. I need to start with the most critical one."

Vitali was laid on the floor, while Roman, with a broken leg, was seated on the sofa.

Brian said in a low voice, "Vitali is dead, Roman has the most serious injuries."

Woody glanced at Roman, then loudly said, "If you haven’t died from your leg injury yet, it means your major artery isn’t severed. Just hold on."

After speaking, Woody knelt on the ground, checked Vitali, who was motionless, and pressed on his neck. Then he urgently said, "Help me take off his bulletproof vest, quickly!"

Annastasia frowned, "He’s dead..."

Woody looked up and snapped, "Shut up, do as I say!"

Brian bent down, removed Vitali’s bulletproof vest, and after lifting it, Woody urgently said, "Not the front, the back. Turn him over, quickly!"

Brian turned Vitali over, lifted his bulletproof vest and shirt, and then Woody urgently said, "7.62 millimeter sub-caliber, de-capped armor-piercing shell, tumbled into the body after penetrating the bulletproof vest. Was it a machine gun or a sniper rifle?"

"Sniper rifle!"

A flicker of hope crossed Sergei’s face, and he trembled, "Is he not dead?"

Woody, looking anxious, said, "Of course he’s not dead, fuck, these crude conditions... no help at all, really killing me, lift him onto the dining table."

Anton and Zhang Yong returned, and when they saw Woody performing emergency aid on Vitali instead of Roman, Anton exclaimed, "He’s still alive?"

"Still alive, who can give an IV?"

Anton raised his hand, "I can."

Zhang Yong also said, "I can too."

Annastasia also loudly said, "I can as well."

Brian took a breath and said, "I’m good too."

Woody, looking relieved, said, "Very good, get Vitali on full blood, red cells, platelets, human serum albumin, and coagulants. Use all the blood products on him, they’re all ready beside the dining table. Cut his clothes open, I’m going to perform surgery."

After speaking, Woody glanced at Roman and urgently said, "Give him full blood and platelets. We don’t have a lot of blood products, just make sure he doesn’t lose too much blood."

What reassured Woody was that these people had, to varying degrees, first aid skills. Even though intravenous blood transfusion was more specialized, Annastasia and Anton, after failing twice, still successfully administered the transfusion to Roman.

As for Woody, he made an incision on Vitali’s back without even disinfecting, and then he urgently said, "The spleen is shattered, the kidneys... oh shit, a mess!"

Annastasia said in a grave voice, "If there’s hope, save him, but if there’s none, give up immediately!"

Woody rapidly inserted several retractor frames and finally extracted a bullet. Then he said very nervously, "All I can say is I’ll do my best. The situation is really bad, but there’s still hope, there’s still hope..."
