304: That depends on whether you live to see that day.

After Xiao Niannian walked out, she saw Lu Jing standing at the cave entrance.

She understood what Lu Jing was doing, and she no longer felt the same wariness toward him as before.

“It's getting late. You should rest first.”

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

She returned to the main cave, leaned against the cave wall, and fell asleep just like that.

Xiao Niannian woke up just as dawn broke.

Seeing the Bear Soldiers nearby looking bruised and swollen, Xiao Niannian felt a little better.

When she heard those people cursing and grumbling, Xiao Niannian became angry.

Their comrades-in-arms hadn't been found yet, and these people were still cursing. If their comrades were gone, she would make sure they paid with their lives.

She walked over and stood in front of the most disruptive Bear Battalion Commander.

Xiao Niannian looked at him with a cold expression.

This Bear Battalion Commander was slightly shorter than Lu Jing, but his arrogance was even greater than yesterday.

“If you know what's good for you, release us immediately, or else, when we return, we will definitely report this to the highest authority, and they will surely come looking for trouble...”

Hearing them still making threats at this point, Xiao Niannian stared at him, her voice filled with killing intent.

“You better pray they are safe and sound, otherwise you will definitely pay for them with your life...”

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words and seeing her murderous expression.

The Bear Battalion Commander shouted loudly.

“I will definitely complain about you to your commander...”

“That depends on whether you live long enough to see it.”

Lu Jing saw Niannian's expression and knew she was serious about killing.

He also felt a murderous intent toward these people.

But killing this person openly was definitely out of the question; it would cause a lot of trouble.

“Calm down...”

Lu Jing comforted Xiao Niannian.

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian looked up at Lu Jing.

“Have Xiao Cui and the others take these people back...”

“Alright.”

Xiao Niannian nodded.

Xiao Cui led the thirty-plus Bear Soldiers back.

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian, led by Uncle Cui, went to search for the missing company's comrades-in-arms.

At a location more than ten kilometers away, several Bear Soldiers were walking quickly through the mountains.

“Report, we haven't found our people...”

“Continue using the radio to contact them...”

The leader's expression was grim; they were here to meet up. But a whole day had passed, and they hadn't seen their comrades-in-arms.

Could it be that these comrades-in-arms were captured by Great Xia Soldiers?

“Report using the radio that these people have disappeared, and we are currently searching...”

At the bottom of a hillside.

More accurately, it was at the bottom of a cliff.

Several Soldiers were unconscious, and some Soldiers were returning with firewood. The cave wasn't large, but a big fire was burning inside.

“Company Commander, the radio hasn't been fixed yet, several parts are missing...”

Second Company Commander listened to his subordinate, his expression solemn.

They had originally come to look for those six villagers. They encountered them yesterday, but the Bear Soldiers used the six villagers as bait, using grenades and landmines to destroy the path they were taking, causing a large portion of their group to fall down.

And several other comrades-in-arms came down to search for them in order to save them.

Now, four comrades-in-arms were seriously injured.

If it weren't for a small cave beneath the cliff and some dead branches nearby, they would have frozen to death last night.

“Our comrades-in-arms will definitely find us...”

“How much food do we have left?”

“Company Commander, there is no food left.”

“Find a way to look for food near this cliff. It doesn't matter if we don't eat, but the wounded must have food...”

“Company Commander, this is bad, two comrades-in-arms have a fever...”

Hearing this, Second Company Commander limped toward the two comrades-in-arms.

He reached out and touched their foreheads.

They were indeed very hot.

“Company Commander, their fever is over thirty-nine degrees...”

“Find a way to cool them down.”

Second Company Commander immediately led his comrades-in-arms to cool down the two Soldiers with fevers.

“Where are the medicines we brought?”

They always brought some medicine whenever they went out.

“We've already administered it to them.”

Hearing this, Second Company Commander looked again at the two Soldiers whose faces were flushed red with fever.

“No matter what, we will definitely take you back.”

He brought thirty comrades-in-arms out, and he intended to bring them all back safely.

After a while, the body temperature of the two Soldiers dropped slightly, and their faces were not as red as before.

“Have you found a way out?”

They had fallen, and now to get back up, they needed to find a path.

This cliff was very close to the river, but the ropes they brought weren't long enough. Otherwise, they could use the ropes to descend, find a way to the riverbank, and then look for another route.

But the ropes were too short; even tied together, they wouldn't suffice. Moreover, they currently had so many wounded, including four unconscious ones, and several others with minor injuries.

Therefore, this method was temporarily unworkable.

So they had to figure out a way to get back to the top of the cliff, and then search for an exit route.

The Company Commander walked over and tried to repair the radio, but the radio was broken and missing several parts, making repair impossible now.

“A few of you, try to find a way back to the ground level, and be sure to stay safe... Also, Xiao Jiang, you go call for help...”

He believed that before long, their comrades-in-arms from the Military Unit would definitely find them and rescue them.

Those Bear people were truly vicious.

After walking for more than an hour, the group stopped.

Lu Jing took out the biscuits from his bag, along with two white rabbit milk candies, and handed them to Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian looked at him.

“You didn't eat much yesterday. Have something to fill your stomach.”

Lu Jing and his team had also hunted a lot of prey, and everyone had eaten some in the morning.

Xiao Niannian accepted the items.

She actually had quite a lot of supplies in her spatial dimension, including canned goods. However, she couldn't take them out at a time like this.

Xiao Niannian tasted a white rabbit milk candy. Perhaps because she hadn't eaten this milk candy for days, Xiao Niannian found it extremely sweet.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing, noticing that his eyes were bloodshot.

Being a Captain was truly exhausting. While she, a small Platoon Leader, could eat and sleep well now, Lu Jing had too many things to deal with.

“Brother Lu, you need to take care of yourself.”

Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing felt warm inside.

Niannian was caring about his health.

“Mhm.”

Military Doctor Shen walked over.

“What are you two talking about?”

Seeing Lu Jing didn't answer him, Military Doctor Shen looked toward Xiao Niannian.

“Platoon Leader Xiao, I saw how you treated the monkey yesterday; it was very good. When we left this morning, those two monkeys were also doing well.”

Military Doctor Shen still felt that such a promising talent should go into medicine.
