305: They went down the cliff to check the situation.

His teacher had previously ordered him to find a way to persuade Platoon Leader Xiao.

His teacher wanted to take Xiao Niannian as his disciple, a closed-door disciple at that.

Lu Jing looked at Military Doctor Shen coldly.

Seeing Brother Lu's gaze, Military Doctor Shen immediately understood what Brother Lu meant.

But such a promising talent, and to have Platoon Leader Xiao become his junior sister, how wonderful would that be?

Unfortunately, Platoon Leader Xiao was about to report to the Military Academy.

Xiao Niannian's face showed a hint of a smile upon hearing Military Doctor Shen's praise.

"This weather is really too cold."

Military Doctor Shen looked around.

"The snow goggles you made are truly excellent."

After using the snow goggles, Military Doctor Shen naturally knew how good they were.

Military Doctor Shen continued to praise Xiao Niannian.

Lu Jing frowned.

"You talk too much."

That one sentence made Military Doctor Shen's expression change; he looked at Lu Jing somewhat aggrieved.

His brother from childhood, he had truly changed now. Even if he said a few more words, Brother Lu would still dislike him for talking too much.

Seeing Military Doctor Shen's aggrieved expression, the smile at the corner of Xiao Niannian's mouth grew wider.

Military Doctor Shen was skilled in medicine, talked a lot, spoke three languages, and had excellent special operations capabilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been selected for the Special Forces Brigade.

A Military Doctor in the Special Forces Brigade wasn't just required to be skilled in medicine; their combat effectiveness also had to be outstanding. Otherwise, during missions, they would drag down their Comrades-in-arms, not only failing to save teammates but also putting them in danger.

Military Doctor Shen glared at Lu Jing, then, seeing Xiao Niannian smile, he quickly walked forward.

By the afternoon, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing still hadn't reached the cliff.

"Uncle Cui, do you recognize this path?"

Hearing Military Doctor Shen's words, Uncle Cui shook his head.

"I don't recognize this path."

He had some memory of the cliff's location, only knowing its approximate direction.

"Please think carefully again, we've already walked through these places..."

Xiao Niannian held a self-made map and marked the locations they had passed.

"Okay."

Uncle Cui looked at the map drawn by Platoon Leader Xiao, and after a while, he looked at Xiao Niannian in shock.

He had previously seen Platoon Leader Xiao holding paper and pen and writing, but he didn't know what Platoon Leader Xiao was doing. Now he understood.

"This direction."

After his shock, Uncle Cui pointed to a spot on the map and said.

"This place is very close to the river, and there's a large cliff here..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

Lu Jing had previously seen maps of this area, traversed this primeval forest twice, knew the local terrain, and had researched a lot of information.

"We'll search in this direction."

Lu Jing sent a few Soldiers ahead to scout.

"Reporting, Captain Lu, we hear sounds ahead..."

Hearing the scout's words, both Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's faces lit up with joy.

The two quickly ran forward.

After walking for a while, they saw a large pit, and below the pit was a cliff.

Xiao Niannian carefully looked around and saw traces of an explosion. Not only that, many tree branches around them were broken... "Is anyone there?"

"Second Company Commander."

"Li Yi."

"Xu Wang."

The Comrades-in-arms on top were shouting the names of the Second Company Soldiers.

Below the cliff.

"Company Commander, it's bad, they're running a high fever again, almost forty degrees now. We've tried many methods, but we can't bring the temperature down..."

"If this continues, they'll be burned into idiots."

Second Company Commander was also extremely worried, but their medicine was no longer effective, and they had exhausted all their methods.

The wood in the cave was also used up, and what they had now was wet wood. When it burned, it was full of smoke, very choking, but they couldn't not burn it. Otherwise, the weather was too cold, and the condition of these injured men would worsen.

"Melt snow for water again, and use a towel to wipe their bodies..."

After another hour of busy work, the body temperatures of these two Comrades-in-arms finally returned to normal.

Second Company Commander breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough cough cough."

A Soldier woke up.

"Big Ox."

"Company Commander."

Big Ox heard the sound, opened his eyes, and looked at his Comrades-in-arms.

"Am I going to die?"

Hearing this, Second Company Commander immediately cursed.

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about, kid? You'll be fine, we'll definitely bring you back safely..."

"Big Ox, you'll be fine."

"You rascal are a menace, you'll live a hundred years."

"Don't say 'die'."

The Comrades-in-arms also comforted him one after another.

Big Ox's face was a bit pale. He looked at the worried expressions of his group of Comrades-in-arms and smiled.

"Company Commander, I'm really happy to be your Comrade-in-arms. If I die, don't be sad..."

"Shut up, you won't die!" Second Company Commander roared.

"Big Ox, our people are trying to find a way out. Once they find a path, we can leave..."

"That's right, you'll definitely live well."

Big Ox smiled and nodded, then weakly closed his eyes again.

Some of the other Soldiers saw this scene and their eyes reddened.

"Company Commander, I request to go out and find a way out..."

"Company Commander, I also apply to go out and search..."

Hearing their words, Second Company Commander nodded in agreement.

"You two can go look for a path, but you must ensure your own safety..."

"Yes."

It was already afternoon, and apart from the injured, none of them had eaten anything today. Only a small bag of rice was left.

"Company Commander, there are hazelnut trees here, I can climb trees, I'll go pick some..."

"I heard that the squirrels here hide food, I'll go look too, maybe I can find some..."

"I'll go outside to find food."

The Soldiers spoke one after another.

"Okay."

Second Company Commander also knew that just waiting like this would only lead to death. Although he had previously sent a few Comrades-in-arms to find a path and food, there was still no news.

"Company Commander, there's a sound above..."

"Quick, go out and see."

Second Company Commander heard the sound and immediately walked out, but it was still twenty to thirty meters from the top, and not only that, there were many trees blocking the view. Many rocks were very smooth, making it impossible to climb up.

He vaguely heard some sounds, but the wind was strong, making it unclear what was being said.

"Company Commander, are our Comrades-in-arms coming to rescue us?"

"Quick, find a way to make noise."

Someone took a yellow basin and knocked it hard.

Others brought enamel mugs and struck them forcefully.

"We're down here..."

"Save us."

Lu Jing had people tie ropes and go down to the bottom of the cliff to carefully investigate the situation.

"Fang Qiang, you take people down to investigate the situation..."

"Yes."

"Be extra careful..."

Xiao Niannian spoke.

"Captain Lu, I request to go down and investigate."
