The Qinghe University students and the Trinity Institute's people returned to the base after a short stay outside the forward operating base. Then they waited for the Pyro Company to put out the fire at the medical center.
Everyone was very nervous at this moment. However, Ren Xiaosu had fallen asleep on the operating table in the department with Yang Xiaojin by his side.
After all, Ren Xiaosu had just gone through a life-and-death battle. After the rapid secretion of adrenaline, coupled with his injuries, he was a little tired. This was a normal physiological reaction.
The students outside the department were sitting against the wall in the corridor of the medical center. Then they heard Ren Xiaosu's snoring.
Everyone was speechless. They thought to themselves, 'Isn't this guy too careless? He can even fall asleep like this?!'
When Yang Xiaojin saw Ren Xiaosu's expression, she uncharacteristically showed a hint of gentleness. When they were at Mt. Dashi, Ren Xiaosu had more to worry about than her. Even Ren Xiaosu was the one who acted as the bait.
Sometimes, the two of them would take turns keeping watch at night. If Ren Xiaosu was the one keeping watch for the first half of the night, he would not have the heart to wake her up. In the end, Ren Xiaosu would have to keep watch by himself for the entire night.
After the battle at Mt. Dashi ended, he did not even have time to rest when he encountered the attack on the camp. Even if Ren Xiaosu was made of iron, he would not be able to take it anymore.
Usually, Ren Xiaosu would never snore when he slept. During the process of improving his physical fitness, his bodily functions had become stronger and more vigorous. His respiratory system and cardiopulmonary function were far superior to that of a normal person, so it was impossible for him to snore.
But now, his snoring seemed to be conveying a message of exhaustion. It even made Yang Xiaojin feel a little sorry for him.
This young man who belonged to her was always habitually shouldering all the responsibilities on himself.
Yang Xiaojin subconsciously reached out to soothe Ren Xiaosu's frown as he slept. But just as she reached out, someone from the Pyro Company walked in from outside the medical center.
This movement awakened Ren Xiaosu. He happened to see Yang Xiaojin's outstretched hand, so he smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
"Oh," Yang Xiaojin said nonchalantly, "I heard you snoring, so I planned to pinch your nose."
Ren Xiaosu stood up and ridiculed, "What kind of person are you doing?"
Yang Xiaojin said with a smile, "It's not like you usually do a lot of things."
"That's true." Ren Xiaosu nodded.
When the two of them walked out of the office, they saw Ji Yi talking to a Pyro Company soldier. However, the soldier said coldly, "I'm sorry, but we don't have any more vehicles to send them back. We can go to the front lines, but we can't retreat. Also, everyone must go to the frontlines. From the day after tomorrow, in order to ensure the safety of the forward operating base, no outsiders can stay here. "
Ji Yi was taken aback. "Our Qinghe Group has our own cars."
"Your vehicles have been requisitioned to be used to transport supplies," the soldier explained calmly. "After the attack this time, the transport convoys suffered extremely heavy losses. Please forgive us for making this decision. You can all wait for the vehicles to load up the goods and ride them to the front lines together tomorrow. "
At this moment, the Pyro Company soldier suddenly asked, "Have y 'all been in this medical center all this time? Mr. Wang Jing, did you see any strangers? "
"No." Wang Jing shook his head. "When the incident happened, we fled out of the base together. It wasn't until the forward operating base quietened down that we returned to the medical center. What's the matter?"
The Pyro Company soldier was still very polite to Wang Jing and the others. "It's like this. We speculated that the two snipers who appeared earlier were shooting from the top floor of the medical center. Later on, they passed on a very important message to us, so we wanted to find them to express our gratitude."
"I'm not too sure about that." Wang Jing shook his head again. "It was already very late when we returned to the medical center, and we didn't see any strangers. Don't y 'all know the identities of those two snipers? I thought they were your people. They even saved us during the chaos, so we also wanted to express our gratitude. "
"They're not our people." The soldier shook his head. "They might be ambitious people who fought against the North together. If you find any clues, please contact us immediately."
"Mhm, I will." As Wang Jing spoke, he did not even glance in Ren Xiaosu's direction for fear of exposing Ren Xiaosu. The other doctors were the same. It could be seen how careful Wang Jing had been when he gave instructions to everyone.
"Then rest early. All of the medical staff will have to follow the troops north tomorrow. If you need anything, you can let us know at any time." After the soldier bade farewell to Wang Jing, he went straight to the top floor and took several sets of photos before leaving.
The students looked at one another. Someone spoke to Ji Yi on behalf of the other students, "Teacher Ji, we don't have a vehicle to take back now. Why don't we go to the front lines and have a look?"
"That's right. You heard it too. Those two snipers are also here to help. Right now, the entire Central Plains must unite …."
Ji Yi did not say anything. He felt extremely vexed.
…
At this moment, P3, who was in charge of the forward operating base, was on the phone with someone. He said cautiously, "Sir P502, I would like to communicate a very important piece of information to you."
P5092 said noncommittally on the other end of the line, "What do you want in exchange?"
"You should've heard the news by now. Although our plan to lure the enemy out tonight was a success, a large portion of our supplies were still destroyed. This matter is enough for me to be court-martialed. If I'm convicted, I might have to spend the rest of my life in prison." P3 said softly, "But you should also know that I was only cooperating with your plan …."
P5092 said mercilessly, "You made a lot of mistakes tonight. Even if you were cooperating with my plan, you shouldn't have foolishly parked the supply vehicles together and given the enemy a chance to blow up our supplies. Moreover, if there were really barbarians lurking in the rear, even without my plan, something would have happened to you sooner or later. So tell me enough important information, and I'll guarantee your safety. "
P3 was immediately overjoyed. This was exactly the promise he wanted. Although this Sir P5092 was callous, he never went back on his word.
P3 deliberated over his tone and said, "You encountered two snipers at Mt. Dashi, right? I know you're looking for them. Just a few days ago, the two doctors from the Trinity Institute suddenly left the forward operating base and only returned to the base after the battle at Mt. Dashi ended. The timing matches very well."
P5092 said nonchalantly, "What can two doctors do? Don't use baseless speculation as information. "
"It's not just speculation." P3 hurriedly said, "Others might not have noticed what happened tonight, but I discovered that the Trinity Institute had already left the danger zone before the barbarians arrived. Moreover, one of the two doctors who left the base just now happened to be the miracle doctor you instructed me to take care of."
P5092 was stunned. For some reason, he believed P3's judgment the moment he mentioned Ren Xiaosu!
