Chapter 570: Chapter 563: Street Fighting

"Over here! He’s... still alive, isn’t he?"

When You Zixing answered the question, he was equally filled with doubt, and Li Pengfei had actually already seen the charred corpse beside him.

Li Pengfei thought it was a corpse, which is why he was extremely shocked and blurted out that he was dead.

Hearing You Zixing’s reply, Li Pengfei wondered if You Zixing had gone mad.

"Still alive?"

Doubt was written all over Li Pengfei’s face, yet it was mixed with hope. He glanced at Gao Yuan, then said to the people rushing over with a stretcher behind him, "Quick, quick, get him on."

"Be careful!"

You Zixing yelled to someone with a cross armband, then he hurriedly said, "Be gentle, I think he’s completely limp."

The medic with the cross armband looked at Gao Yuan lying on the ground, puzzled, and then he said in astonishment, "Still alive? Are you kidding me?"

It was indeed incredible, but the medic still bent down, kneeled on one knee beside Gao Yuan, and then reached for Gao Yuan’s neck.

Feeling the carotid artery is one of the quick ways to determine life or death, especially in cases of extremely faint breathing, and through clothes, especially when wearing bulletproof vests or chest rigs, feeling for a heartbeat is almost pointless. Therefore, reaching for the neck pulse has become a habit for every medic.

"No pulse."

Without a pulse, one could almost certainly declare death. Li Pengfei’s hopeful expression froze for a moment, but as the medic placed his hand on Gao Yuan’s chest, he quickly exclaimed in surprise, "But there’s a heartbeat!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the medic opened the first aid kit, took out a syringe, and was about to inject it.

Seeing that there was not a single inch of intact skin on Gao Yuan’s body, the medic hesitated for a moment, then he could only choose to inject into a peeled wound on Gao Yuan’s chest.

Li Pengfei couldn’t help but say, "Hurry up, hurry up, is there... is there still a chance to save him? I feel like..."

Everyone knew what he wanted to say, but some things are better left unsaid. Li Pengfei took a breath, then urgently said, "You have two minutes, we need to evacuate now!"

In a low voice, You Zixing said, "Commander, what’s the situation now? Are there any zombies? What are the enemy’s movements?"

Li Pengfei exhaled and said, "I reckon there are no more zombies, and as for monsters, they should be gone too, but the enemy’s attack is fierce, fighting as if they have a death wish. They are less than a kilometer away, so we must evacuate quickly."

After speaking, Li Pengfei asked the medic, "What did you inject him with?"

The medic, in a rush, said, "Ginsenoside, adrenaline, morphine, antibiotics, everything that can be injected is on. I... I don’t know what will work. Alright, move him!"

The resuscitation lasted less than two minutes because it was just a formality. As soon as the people got Gao Yuan on the stretcher and quickly carried him back to the armored vehicle and got him inside, Li Pengfei hastily said to You Zixing, "Come with me. What about the others? What’s their status?"

Limping, You Zixing followed Li Pengfei and said in a low voice, "They’re scattered, but they didn’t follow."

Li Pengfei’s footsteps hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "Hmm, understood..."

Opening the hatch of the armored command vehicle, Li Pengfei gestured You Zixing to get in and then whispered, "You haven’t shamed our old unit, and by finding Nemesis, you’ve earned yourselves a commendation."

These were professionals; there really wasn’t much need for words.

You Zixing had fired a signal flare. If there was any chance his team members were alive, they wouldn’t let him struggle alone. Over an hour had passed in this other world, and if they were still alive, they would have found their way to him by now.

You Zixing got into the vehicle where two others were already present, faces solemn, each attending to a radio set, though only static came through.

Li Pengfei closed the door of the command vehicle, and it was the first to move out, followed by the armored vehicle pulling Gao Yuan, though neither at high speed. The tank, noticing the direction they were headed, immediately started up and took the lead position.

No need to return to command; what mattered most now was to retreat with Gao Yuan. Li Pengfei sat down on a chair, clutched the armrest, and said with a grave expression, "The interference is too severe, our communication is completely cut off, we basically have no way to command, we can only use light signals to communicate."

You Zixing hesitated before asking, "So are we still fighting?"

Li Pengfei nodded and replied, "Fight, we’ve taken Malakal, and we can’t give it back to the Sanitation Workers, at least not in one piece. We’ve fought this battle, and we must make the Sanitation Workers lose their foothold in the Malakal Region, otherwise..."

Li Pengfei’s face showed concern, and looking at You Zixing, he said with relief, "Now the Sanitation Workers definitely have the capability to freely use aircraft. If today’s air raid wasn’t aimed at Nemesis but at striking our armored forces, it wouldn’t just be a rescue operation anymore. That would be about considering our retreat options. Talking of retreat is optimistic; deciding where to run is a problem in itself."

Sighing, You Zixing said helplessly, "The Sanitation Workers are really patient, possessing such secret weapons and yet reluctant to use them."

"It’s also possible they’ve only just obtained this capability. But no matter how you look at it, we can be certain the enemy can definitely communicate with the aliens from their aircraft, at least capable enough for friend-or-foe identification."

You Zixing covered his face with his hands and sat down on the floor, swaying with the movement of the armored vehicle. After a while, he suddenly cursed, "These bastards!"

Li Pengfei sighed and said, "The war situation is about to change again. We absolutely cannot leave a whole Malakal to the enemy, so we must continue this battle, you..."

With a boom, the tank up ahead suddenly stopped and was immediately engulfed in a violent explosion. The armored vehicle braked hard, causing Li Pengfei to rise from his seat, but he was still hanging onto the armrest, which kept him from falling.

"Tanks! Enemy tanks!"

The driver in the front started shouting, while a tank also fired in response.

The two tanks continued to move, but their gun barrels rapidly rotated, and the command vehicle’s driver, after an abrupt stop, immediately tried to turn.

At that moment, the command vehicle’s driver yelled, "Abrams, two of them, four of them!"

Li Pengfei roared, "Cover the rear vehicles’ departure, push forward!"

At this short distance, two hundred meters was practically face-to-face for tanks. In such a close-range tank battle, the armored vehicle basically served as a mere target.

With a boom, the second tank was hit and, after driving forward for a dozen meters, sharply turned due to one of its tracks coming off. However, its 59G turret was constantly aimed at the enemy tank and fired immediately.

In the narrow streets, the tanks engaged in extremely close quarters, fighting an urban tank battle.
