The rescue operation entered its final stages, and Gu Jia Ning and the others no longer needed to remain in the disaster area.
Because the vehicles were transporting the injured, they had to walk back. Fortunately, the distance wasn't that far; it would take about half an hour to walk.
Zhang Shuwan held Gu Jia Ning's hand, and the two walked back together.
As they walked, Gu Jia Ning suddenly looked back, her eyes scanning as if searching for something.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Shuwan asked.
"I feel like someone is watching me," she said, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.
"Maybe you're just feeling it," Zhang Shuwan also looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.
"Perhaps." Gu Jia Ning continued walking with Zhang Shuwan, but she didn't think her feeling was wrong. She really felt someone watching her, and that gaze seemed to carry some malice.
Since her rebirth, Gu Jia Ning has become more sensitive to these things.
However, the Malicious Value Alarm didn't sound, which was good.
Back at the military region, Gu Jia Ning didn't go to work at the hospital. Elder Chen said that because they had been rescuing people continuously for a day and a night, they were very tired, so he gave them the day off to rest at home.
Gu Jia Ning was indeed tired. After having a meal at Zhang Shuwan's place, she went home, heated the kang, and nestled on it to sleep soundly.
After continuously saving people for a day and a night, Gu Jia Ning was exhausted, especially since she was pregnant and had sleepiness. She had persevered through sheer willpower.
Now that she could finally rest, her nerves completely relaxed, and she fell asleep.
This sleep was very deep.
But she did have a dream. In the dream, she saw Sheng Ze Xi and his comrades moving through a hail of gunfire. Many comrades were injured. Even though she knew it was a dream, Gu Jia Ning was still worried...
At that time, Sheng Ze Xi was using bandages to bandage and stop the bleeding of his unconscious comrades. There were many other injured comrades around him.
They didn't expect that the enemy country had actually grasped their route, and had set up an ambush on their path. There were many ambushers, resulting in many of Sheng Ze Xi's comrades being injured, some even seriously injured and near death.
Sheng Ze Xi thought that perhaps Jia Ning had seen this.
Thankfully, he had brought bandages. He was hiding and bandaging and stemming the bleeding of his seriously injured and dying comrades. If possible, he still hoped that his comrades would survive.
As many people go on a mission, as many people should come back!
The other comrades with minor injuries were also bandaging each other while analyzing the operation.
"Someone must have leaked information."
"Right, definitely. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pinpoint our route so accurately."
"I just wonder who it is!"
Sheng Ze Xi also agreed with this statement. After finishing bandaging the last dying comrade and seeing his breathing become more steady, Sheng Ze Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "The possibility of an insider among us is unlikely. The most likely scenario is that someone inadvertently leaked information."
"You'd better think about whether you mentioned our operation to anyone."
After Sheng Ze Xi finished speaking, he scanned the area. He didn't notice any facial abnormalities among the comrades who were still conscious. He couldn't help but look at those who had fainted due to severe injuries. Could it be that one of them inadvertently leaked information, which was then exploited by someone?
"What about the next mission? So many people are injured; I'm afraid this mission can't continue." Someone said, looking at the nearly half-injured comrades.
Sheng Ze Xi made a decision, "First, send them to the hospital. We'll talk about the rest later."
Soon, the seriously injured were sent to the hospital, and they found a place to rest temporarily in the county town.
That night, when everyone was asleep, Sheng Ze Xi, who was also sleeping, opened his eyes.
In the night, he was as nimble as a ghost, leaving a message behind before taking his equipment and heading towards the designated mission destination.
This mission was important; if possible, he had to do his best to complete it.
His comrades were injured, some seriously, and the enemy outnumbered them and had sufficient equipment.
Sheng Ze Xi thought that the only one with a chance of completing the mission was the one wearing full body invisible bulletproof clothing. Even if the enemy shot him with countless bullets, he wouldn't be afraid.
He would complete the mission!
Ningning, don't worry. I'll be back soon!
With that thought, Sheng Ze Xi silently slipped into the darkness, instantly merging with the black color...
-
Gu Jia Ning didn't know how long she slept.
When she woke up, it was already dark, and she was hungry.
At the beginning of her sleep, she dreamt; she dreamt of Sheng Ze Xi, but later she didn't dream anymore.
Sitting on the kang, she couldn't help but recall her dream. She dreamt that Sheng Ze Xi was alone, charging into the enemy camp in a hail of gunfire, countless bullets flying towards him...
What happened next, Gu Jia Ning didn't know.
She saw so many bullets flying towards Sheng Ze Xi, and she was instantly terrified.
With that fright, the dream scattered.
Then she fell into a deep sleep and didn't dream anymore.
Holding the pillow that belonged to Sheng Ze Xi, Gu Jia Ning reached out and patted it a few times. "Why haven't you come back yet? You've been gone for over a month. My belly is showing, you can't possibly wait until my child is born before returning."
"You've been gone for so long; this pillow no longer has your scent."
"Sheng Ze Xi, if you don't come back, I'm going to forget what you look like..."
Did she really forget what he looked like? Of course not. Gu Jia Ning was just worried about him and missed him very much!
Even though Gu Jia Ning kept muttering, Sheng Ze Xi still hadn't returned.
The next day, Gu Jia Ning returned to work at the hospital. This time, Elder Chen also came. Elder Chen, Doctor Zhou, and Doctor Lu only learned yesterday that Gu Jia Ning was pregnant.
Knowing that she was pregnant, yet still participated in the rescue and tirelessly treated patients for a day and a night, they were very impressed. If they had known earlier, they should have shared more of the burden with Doctor Gu yesterday.
However, they thought that even if they shared the burden, they probably wouldn't be able to share much, after all, Doctor Gu's medical skills were far superior to theirs. Yesterday, countless severely injured patients who they were helpless to treat were saved by Doctor Gu.
Now, because there were no patients, Elder Chen also sat down and discussed with Gu Jia Ning the treatment of those seriously injured patients yesterday. With a learning attitude, Doctor Zhou and Doctor Lu also came to listen, occasionally offering their opinions.
This discussion lasted for the entire morning. Gu Jia Ning didn't know how many glasses of water she drank; otherwise, her mouth would have been dry.
As for Elder Chen, the more Gu Jia Ning spoke, the brighter the light in his eyes became.
