The female soldier didn't say much, but she really closed her eyes and rested. Luo Zheng gave a sheepish smile, thinking about how much blood the female soldier had lost and the wound on her leg. The wound must have reopened during the journey, and she was physically weak. It had been a tough trip, and it was a pity that the marching pack was gone, so there was no way to rebandage or change the dressing. Seeing a tree branch not far away, about as thick as an arm, he picked it up and began to carve it with the Type 65 army knife he had reclaimed. In a short while, a simple crutch was made.

Luo Zheng gently placed the crutch near the female soldier and climbed up a tree branch to keep watch. He had done his fair share of keeping watch during hunting trips with his uncles and brothers. With night vision goggles in hand, he could see the surroundings even in the dark, so keeping watch wasn't difficult.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Luo Zheng started to feel sleepy. Rubbing his eyes, he suddenly noticed a faint flash of light deep in the dense forest, so slight that he wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't reflected onto his face. Luo Zheng immediately became alert, all sleepiness gone. How could there be a reflection in the pitch-black forest? He shouldered his gun andObserve it。 Not long，Luo Zheng noticed a figure approaching him，Like a cheetah foraging in the dark night，Abnormal vigilance，The action is fast，Very agile，There are still a few people vaguely behind me，Luo Zheng knows that these people are beyond his control，Hurry up and carefully slide down the big tree，Attempting to wake up a female soldier，But I found that the female soldier was sweating profusely，with one's eyes tight shut，look pale，My whole body is shaking。 “bad。 began observing through the scope.

Before long, Luo Zheng noticed a figure sneaking closer, like a leopard foraging in the night, extremely vigilant, moving fast and agilely, with several people seemingly following behind. Luo Zheng knew that these people were not ones he could take on by himself. He quickly and cautiously slipped down from the tree, trying to wake the female soldier, only to find her drenched in sweat, eyes tightly closed, complexion pale, and shivering all over.

'This is bad.'

Luo Zheng was taken aback; he had not expected the female soldier to develop a fever and fall into a coma at this critical moment. It was troublesome. With the enemy about to close in, Luo Zheng couldn't afford to care about much. He hung the female soldier's gun along with his own around his neck and started sprinting with her on his back.

As he ran, Luo Zheng felt the female soldier's highly elastic chest, and a strange sensation surged in his abdomen, heating up. Suddenly realizing that the female soldier's body was trembling slightly, which were signs of convulsions due to high fever, he became worried. Casting aside unrealistic distractions from his mind, he ran with all his might.

In the dark night, with faint moonlight and very low visibility, it was fortunate that Luo Zheng had hunted in the jungle since childhood and was familiar with walking at night. However, carrying a person limited his speed, and he soon grew so tired he could hardly breathe. He had no choice but to put the female soldier down, only to find her frowning deeply, lips cracked, and cold sweat pouring down her forehead, her face contorted in pain. Luo Zheng was in a dilemma. Where could he find medicine in this pitch-black wilderness at night?

If she wasn't treated promptly, she might suffer brain damage or even be in danger of losing her life. Looking at the female soldier's thigh, the gauze over the wound was completely dark red, indicating severe blood loss. If not treated soon, her leg might also be ruined. Luo Zheng grew anxious and heard the sound of babbling brook nearby. He quickly carried the female soldier over.

The stream was small, flowing down from a cliff to form a small pool. Luo Zheng placed the female soldier by the pool and scooped water to her lips with his hand. The female soldier instinctively opened her mouth wide to swallow, murmuring "Water, water" like a dream. Luo Zheng hurriedly brought more water to feed her. Whether the water was clean or not was irrelevant in the face of life and death.

After drinking water, the female soldier fell back into a coma. Luo Zheng looked around at the oppressive darkness, anxious and frantic. Suddenly, he noticed some familiar lush plants by the pool. He walked over and, under the moonlight, he saw leaves that were wide and needle-shaped, with slender umbrella stems like silk threads. He was overjoyed—it was Bupleurum, an excellent medicine for treating colds, fevers, and rheumatic fever.

Luo Zheng quickly picked a large amount of Bupleurum, but then he was stuck. The conditions were not suitable for boiling medicine, and it was unrealistic to eat it raw. The comatose female soldier couldn't chew it herself. What should he do?

Seeing the female soldier's face flushed with pain, Luo Zheng gritted his teeth, grabbed a large handful of Bupleurum, and began to knead it, quickly forming a medicinal ball. He pried open the female soldier's mouth with one hand, and with the other, squeezed the juice from the Bupleurum ball into her mouth. To ensure its effectiveness, Luo Zheng picked a large amount of Bupleurum grass, extracted the juice, and fed it to the female soldier. Then he took off his clothes and laid them out on a drier spot, laid the female soldier down flat, gently tore off the gauze from her thigh wound, washed the gauze clean, and wiped away the foul blood from the wound. After getting everything sorted out, Luo Zheng looked at the unconscious female soldier and couldn't help but give a bitter smile. The situation was terrible, and he didn't know how long they could stay here or when the pursuers would find them. Sigh! In the deep night, the wind picked up, and the moon emerged from the clouds, casting its silver light upon the earth, shimmering by the pond. Luo Zheng, sitting by the pond and resting, glanced at the female soldier. The dirty camouflage paint had been washed away by cold sweat, leaving her face a mess, quite unattractive. Moved, Luo Zheng couldn't help but wet the gauze and start cleaning the female soldier's face. In a short while, a beautiful face appeared before Luo Zheng's eyes. During the day, he had been too busy fighting for his life to notice, but now he saw that the cleaned-up female soldier was so beautiful. With slightly furrowed willow-leaf eyebrows, tightly closed eyes, a delicate nose breathing rapidly, and her face flushed with fever, she looked pitiable. Luo Zheng couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and cherish her a hundred times over, but he restrained himself from such a rash act. With a sigh, he picked up his gun, looked around, and found a vantage point to hide. Luo Zheng used his family's breathing technique to hasten his physical recovery while keeping watch. Fortunately, nothing happened that night. After several hours of rest, the exhausted Luo Zheng had fully regained his strength and energy. When he came to the pond, he found that the female soldier had already awakened, looking up at the sky in confusion, her complexion poor, her eyes lifeless. Luo Zheng walked over slowly, coughed, and said, 'Awake? Feeling better?'

“Did you save me?” the female soldier asked weakly, her tone still cold. Luo Zheng walked to the side noncommittally and said in a low voice, “Can you walk? Those bastards are probably going to catch up.” “No,” the female soldier said coldly, staring steadily at the sky without saying more. Luo Zheng really wanted to ask why the enemy wouldn't catch up, but seeing that the female soldier didn't want to say more, and recalling that those people were clearly not far from him last night, yet now there was no trace of them, with those people's strength, it was impossible for them not to have discovered this place. The only explanation for their absence was that the other party couldn't be bothered to chase. Thinking of this, Luo Zheng became frustrated. If he had known this earlier, he should have chased after them. Thinking of his enemies getting away, Luo Zheng became anxious and quickly said, “Do you have any way to contact the outside world? I'll leave the weapons with you. I'm going to chase after those bastards. By the way, do you know who they are?” The female soldier looked at Luo Zheng coldly, her icy eyes showing a hint of surprise, but she didn't explain, just stared intently at Luo Zheng, making him feel uncomfortable all over. He asked in alarm, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
