Chapter 14 – See you after the rain

"Hold on!" Officer Li shouted, "We only have a limited number of harpoons. Hold on a little longer and we will survive!"

Before anyone could respond, they heard another scream.

They turned their heads and saw that it was Tian Tian.

She wasn't as lucky as Xiao Ran, as the harpoon pierced through her palm.

Tian Tian suddenly lost strength, and the table in front of her was knocked askew by the harpoon.

"Be careful!"

Qiao Jiajin gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the table in front of Tian Tian.

In that moment, a harpoon flew in accurately through a gap and pierced Han Yimo's shoulder.

Han Yimo let out a painful scream, but he still held onto the table tightly.

"Don't panic!"

Officer Li reached out to support Han Yimo, then used both hands to hold up half of the table for him.

Qiao Jiajin also made a quick decision and reached out to support the table for Tian Tian.

Fortunately, both of them were very strong, and the formation began to stabilize.

As the crashing sounds gradually subsided, everyone realized how reasonable this formation was.

If they had followed Officer Li and Dr. Zhao's plan to arrange the tables in a scattered manner, the tables and harpoons would have been vertical, making it extremely easy for the harpoons to pierce through.

Now, the formation of "Mushrooms After Rain" had turned the contact surface between the harpoons and the tables into slopes from five different directions, greatly reducing the penetrating power of the harpoons.

Especially the harpoons that flew from directly above had changed their trajectory due to their conical shape.

After a while, there was complete silence outside the table.

"Is it over?" Han Yimo asked through gritted teeth.

"Wait another minute," Qi Xia replied.

Everyone held the table quietly for another minute and found that there was indeed no movement outside.

Qiao Jiajin cautiously opened a gap and looked outside.

"Oh my..." He was instantly stunned by the scene before him.

Everyone slowly moved the table away and found that the floor and table were almost filled with harpoons.

The two bodies on the floor were even more gruesome, like two hedgehogs, densely pierced with harpoons.

Each harpoon was connected by a rope, with the other end of the rope attached to the holes in the wall. The room was in a mess.

Dr. Zhao decisively rolled up his sleeves and came to Han Yimo's side.

His situation was not optimistic, as the harpoon had pierced through his shoulder and needed immediate treatment.

Han Yimo slowly sat down and smiled bitterly, "I was just wondering if I would be so unlucky, but I didn't expect to really get hit..."

Tian Tian looked very guilty, and she quickly apologized to Han Yimo.

But everyone knew that it wasn't Tian Tian's fault either, as her hand was also pierced by a harpoon.

"Hey, pretty girl, come here," Qiao Jiajin waved his hand, "I can bandage you."

"Huh?" Tian Tian was taken aback, "You know how to bandage?"

"Just a little bit," Qiao Jiajin said.

Qiao Jiajin tore a strip of fabric from the dead Goat's Head's suit and tore it into two pieces.

One piece was tightly tied around Tian Tian's arm to stop the bleeding, and the other piece was carefully wrapped around the wound.

"I used to get injured often when I was on the street, so I learned some basic bandaging," Qiao Jiajin said.

Tian Tian nodded slightly without saying a word.

After coming here, everyone rarely had a moment of peace, as if they had temporarily escaped from the shadow of death.

But there was still no door appearing around them, and this damn room still trapped them here.

What is this place?

What is outside the room?

In less than a minute, a sigh came from Dr. Zhao's direction.

Qi Xia turned his head and saw that Dr. Zhao, who was treating Han Yimo's wound, had a troubled expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Officer Li asked, "Is the injury severe?"

"The injury isn't severe," Dr. Zhao shook his head, "but I can't remove the harpoon."

Everyone moved closer and found that the problem was indeed tricky.

The tip of the harpoon was barbed, and pulling it out would cause greater harm to the injured person.

And the tail of the harpoon was connected to a rope.

At this moment, Han Yimo was like a fish that had been hooked, and no matter where he swam, he would be tightly pulled by the rope.

"We can only cut the rope and then pull out the harpoon from the front," Dr. Zhao said, "but I don't have any sharp tools with me."

Han Yimo's lips turned pale, and the harpoon piercing his scapula caused him unbearable pain.

"Use another harpoon," Officer Li decisively said, "although the harpoon is sharp, it can still be used as a tool."

"We have no other choice," Dr. Zhao also nodded, "Author, I need you to choose the most relaxed position to lie down. We need to cut the rope on your back. Don't rush, take it slowly. Pay attention to the harpoon in front of you and be careful not to get injured again."

Han Yimo nodded and began to move his body with difficulty.

Qi Xia watched this scene and felt a sense of unease.

Take it slowly?

Do they really have time to do this in the current situation?

He looked at the ropes on the floor and a sense of foreboding arose in his mind.

If he guessed correctly, they were still racing against time.

"We can't take it slowly!" Qi Xia suddenly spoke up, "Take the harpoon out of him immediately!"

He walked quickly to the doctor's side and said seriously to Han Yimo, "Endure it a little longer, I will pull out the harpoon for you right now!"

Han Yimo was a little puzzled, but he didn't refuse either.

"What are you doing?!" Dr. Zhao pushed Qi Xia away angrily, "Are you trying to kill him?"

Qi Xia was blocked twice and his face turned ugly.

"I understand that you want to save him, but if we don't hurry, the harpoon will..."

Before Qi Xia could finish speaking, the sound of chains around them rang out again, as if some huge mechanism was starting up once more.

And along with it was Han Yimo's heart-wrenching scream.Everyone finally came to their senses, realizing that all the harpoons were slowly being retracted under the pull of the ropes.

At the same time, Han Yimo on the ground was also being dragged by a tremendous force.

Qi Xia had noticed this early on. The ropes on the harpoons were not just for show, they were bound to retract the harpoons sooner or later.

Everyone frantically followed Han Yimo, with Officer Li attempting to grab the rope in the midst of the chaos, trying to resist the immense force from the black hole. But all his efforts were in vain.

The table filled with harpoons was gradually torn apart by the retracting harpoons, and it began to slowly retreat.

The force capable of shredding the wooden table was definitely not something that could be resisted barehanded.

Although Han Yimo was in unbearable pain, he quickly realized another problem.

If he was pulled to the wall but still couldn't get rid of the harpoon, he would be nailed to the wall, waiting for death.

With this thought, he painfully stood up, grabbed Qi Xia again, and said word by word, "Help me remove the harpoon! Remove it now!"
