Chapter 356 -356: How come you are here?
Liu Yun was already awake when she saw Bai Xiao start the acupuncture. Even though she was just a junior nurse, she knew this was no time for her to be a bystander, especially with several other wounded soldiers around.
Luckily, these injuries were simple enough to be treated with dressing and medication; nothing complex needed to be managed. Liu Yun handled these tasks with ease, and by the time Bai Xiao was done, Liu Yun had already finished treating the wounded.
The two medics exchanged a smile.
They were proud that they had made full use of their role here.
The wounded were incredibly grateful.
The transporters had begun to prepare the stretchers for the severely wounded, and Bai Xiao and Liu Yun helped to secure the injured onto the stretchers. The path ahead was a rugged mountain road: ten transporters in total, along with the two medics, twelve people and two stretchers. Most importantly, they had to ensure not a single mistake was made on the difficult journey.
Bai Xiao and Liu Yun took care of two injured soldiers, giving them water to drink. There were four hours left until dawn, and they had to make it back before daylight, else they wouldn’t be able to descend the mountain today.
“Everyone, prepare to set out,” Hu Biao, the captain of the transporters, commanded.
They could not afford to delay.
All responded affirmatively.
“Are you ready?” An Zhiyuan arrived with his deputy. They had just been over there constructing defensive trenches.
Last night’s heavy rain had caused a partial landslide, burying half of the trench works. They had to rush repairs today, else it would become an easy target for a surprise attack.
Those bastards constantly had spies posing as locals trying to infiltrate and cross their border.
An Zhiyuan and his comrades had just finished half of the work and had the last part left when he rushed back after hearing that the severely wounded were being evacuated by the medics. He came specifically to see them off.
The transporters replied, “We’re ready, and about to set out, Captain!”
When Bai Xiao heard the familiar voice, she looked up, and An Zhiyuan’s eyes found Bai Xiao standing by the stretcher. Even in the dim night, the hazy moonlight couldn’t block his view of the girl. How could she…
An Zhiyuan strode directly in front of Bai Xiao.
The surprise in his eyes made all his team members exchange confused glances.
What was their captain doing?
Why was he standing in front of a female medic?
Just as Transport Team Captain Hu Biao was about to say something, he was stunned by the scene unfolding before him.
An Zhiyuan embraced the female medic beside him.
He rubbed his eyes desperately. He wasn’t seeing things. They were hugging.
What was this about?
This could be a serious breach of military conduct. Covering his eyes, he thought, the captain was surely going to get slapped for this.
Flirting with a medic, the captain was far too bold!
Everyone watched breathlessly—Hu Biao’s mouth agape, along with everyone else’s.
This sight was shockingly unexpected.
Bai Xiao embraced An Zhiyuan, and in that moment, warmth quickly spread through her body. Her trembling body warmed instantly, as if a warm current had swiftly penetrated her. She greedily absorbed the warmth of the moment, knowing without doubt that An Zhiyuan was her “Energy Potion,” and she didn’t need further confirmation.
“How could you be here?” An Zhiyuan pushed her to an arm’s length away. He was completely unprepared to see the woman he longed for day and night in this place, as it defied all logic.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating from missing her too much, until he clearly saw her face and the delight in Bai Xiao’s eyes. He couldn’t control his feelings and embraced her without a second thought.
