312: We have intercepted the Russian bear's radio messages.

What happened to him?

Xiao Niannian's hand reached toward Lu Jing's forehead.

Lu Jing subconsciously prepared to dodge, but he quickly stopped himself.

"He's so hot."

Xiao Niannian felt Lu Jing's forehead; it was burning hot.

"Let's go, back to the dormitory. I'll re-bandage you and get you some medicine to take..."

Lu Jing had been walking like that for over three hours, and it was in the primeval forest, where many places were steep and difficult to traverse. His wound must have split open again, but he hadn't shown it... Lu Jing, being pulled by Xiao Niannian, had a deepening smile in his eyes.

"Captain Lu, Platoon Leader Xiao."

Seeing Xiao Niannian quickly dragging Captain Lu over, several Special Combat Members greeted them.

"Hong Wang, please help fetch some hot water. Captain Lu has a high fever..."

Originally, the Special Combat Members were confused as to why Platoon Leader Xiao was dragging Captain Lu along so quickly, looking anxious.

Hearing Platoon Leader Xiao's words, the few people immediately sprang into action.

"Yes."

Several people grabbed small yellow basins and rushed out.

Xiao Niannian pulled Lu Jing into the room.

The room had a heated brick bed, making it extremely warm.

"Take off your clothes."

Lu Jing slowly unbuttoned his military uniform and took it off; his shirt was stained with blood again.

Seeing how slow he was, Xiao Niannian directly reached out, grabbed his sleeve, and helped him take it off.

Soon, his shirt was off.

Seeing the gauze wrapping his wound was covered in bloodstains, Xiao Niannian immediately unwrapped it and began re-treating Lu Jing's wound.

When Military Doctor Shen and Xiao Cui walked back, they saw Lu Jing shirtless, his eight-pack abs displayed right in front of them.

"Phew."

Military Doctor Shen whistled.

Lu Jing looked at him with a warning glance.

Military Doctor Shen understood Lu Jing's meaning, but he wasn't afraid.

"Platoon Leader Xiao, how is Old Lu doing?" Military Doctor Shen asked deliberately.

"He has a fever of forty degrees. I just gave him fever-reducing medication... Now I'm re-treating his wound..."

"Oh."

Military Doctor Shen looked at Lu Jing; he had come back because he was worried about Lu Jing's injury. Now it seemed Lu Jing didn't need him.

Xiao Niannian lowered her head and quickly treated Lu Jing's wound.

Soon, Xiao Niannian finished re-treating Lu Jing's wound.

"Watch him tonight. If his fever rises again, use physical cooling methods on him..." Xiao Niannian told Military Doctor Shen.

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Military Doctor Shen nodded.

"Alright, you should go rest quickly. I'll take care of Old Lu here."

Xiao Niannian raised her head, just about to speak to Lu Jing, but what caught her eye was Lu Jing's excellent physique: eight-pack abs, not an ounce of excess fat on his body, and Lu Jing's skin was fair (cold white), and his arms were incredibly strong.

She felt her heart suddenly start racing. She had seen people with good physiques before, but Lu Jing's was the best among them.

Niannian, this is your Comrade-in-arms, a relationship of life and death... What was she thinking about? She quickly adjusted her mood, but her heart rate was still much faster.

Xiao Niannian picked up the clothes somewhat flusteredly, helped Lu Jing put them back on, and then looked at Lu Jing and spoke.

"Take care of yourself these next few days. Don't let the wound split open again..."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian went to the adjacent room.

Military Doctor Shen laughed when he saw Lu Jing. Lu Jing looked at Military Doctor Shen and gave him a cold glance.

Military Doctor Shen continued smiling.

Lu Jing lay down immediately. Somehow, he caught a fresh, clean scent, which seemed to be Niannian's scent.

The scent was very fresh. He had smelled many fragrances, but this one was uniquely different.

"Time to snap out of it. What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Niannian returned to her room. After closing the door, she immediately entered the Spatial Bathroom.

Having spent over a day out, she was covered in mud and various dirt. She needed to quickly take a shower, or she wouldn't be able to sleep.

If she were on a mission, or training in the mountains or wilderness, no matter how tough, tired, dirty, or smelly, she could endure it. But upon returning to the Military Unit to rest, she wanted to take a shower and sleep well.

Even if she were extremely exhausted, after one night's rest, she could recover sixty to seventy percent of her combat effectiveness.

When Xiao Niannian showered, she blocked out the surrounding sounds, so she didn't hear the conversation between Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen.

After washing up, washing her clothes, and hanging them up to dry inside the room, she lay down on the heated brick bed, recalling the scene from earlier.

Her face felt hot again.

Xiao Niannian slapped herself.

Beauty is misleading, Xiao Niannian, what nonsense are you thinking?

Lu Jing is handsome, has a great physique, and his abilities are top-notch, but what does that have to do with you?

She couldn't let her mind wander anymore.

Thinking of those Bear Soldiers, Xiao Niannian's eyes held killing intent.

She had previously inspected the Bear's radio equipment and found it was broken. After capturing these people, she fixed the Bear's radio equipment, and she also reported this matter to Division Commander Yang.

She believed that by now, the people on the Bear's side must be using the radio to contact these men.

When that happens, there will be a good show to watch.

These people still thought Great Xia was the weak nation it used to be, ready to be bullied by anyone.

Inside the Division Headquarters conference room, Division Commander Yang listened to the report from his subordinate Soldiers.

"Reporting, Division Commander, we have intercepted the Bear's radio message... They dispatched a regiment of troops to cross the border and search... They have now reached the location they searched last time..."

"Report, Division Commander, a call from the Capital City..."

Hearing this, Division Commander Yang's expression became serious.

Division Commander Yang immediately went to the office to answer the phone.

"Greetings, Leader..."

More than twenty minutes passed after the call ended. Division Commander Yang's expression was somewhat grim.

The Leader told him that there were two different factions of opinion above: one faction said that this was an extraordinary period, and they should not engage in large-scale conflict. The Bear's people had contacted the Capital City, requesting the return of these thirty-odd Soldiers.

The other faction demanded severe punishment, insisting that the Bear must pay a price before these thirty-odd Bear Soldiers could be returned.

Now the two sides were arguing fiercely. The Leader's intention was also to make the Bear pay a price. If they backed down this time, the Bear would certainly push their luck, especially since they dared to cross the border and shoot at Great Xia's Soldiers—the nature of the act was too egregious.

Moreover, if it weren't for these Soldiers from Yangcheng, by the time their people found them, several Soldiers might have already been killed.

Yesterday, many injured Soldiers developed high fevers. If it weren't for the medicine held by the Yangcheng Soldiers, in the sub-zero environment of minus twenty or thirty degrees and with limited medicine, those two shot Soldiers would absolutely not have survived.

Thinking of this, Division Commander Yang decided to call Division Commander Yu and Captain Chen of Yangcheng.

He alone held little influence, but with these people added, things would be different. All the credit for this achievement should go to Lu Jing and Platoon Leader Xiao... It was their merit to begin with...
