537: The wounded were rescued by helicopter.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing rappelled down to the riverside. The riverbank was a bit steep, just wide enough for one or two people to stand.

The Soldier was still more than ten meters away from them.

"I'll swim over, you wait here."

Lu Jing instructed Niannian.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian nodded as she watched Lu Jing unfasten his safety rope.

Xiao Niannian watched Lu Jing take off his jacket and trousers, then swim towards the lake.

Although it was April, the river water was still bitingly cold.

Her gaze remained fixed on Lu Jing's figure, watching him swim closer and closer to the person.

She saw Lu Jing pulling that person and swimming towards the shore.

Xiao Niannian saw that the person was indeed one of their missing comrades-in-arms, and his condition was very poor.

Xiao Niannian immediately put the safety rope on him.

"Pull him up."

The Soldiers above heard this and immediately pulled the person up.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing also quickly climbed up.

Not long after, the person was pulled up.

Military Doctor Shen's expression changed when he saw the person's condition.

"Quickly lay him flat, do as I say..."

The person's breath was faint, like a wisp of smoke. Even when Military Doctor Shen and the other comrades-in-arms called out to him, he didn't open his eyes.

After Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing climbed the cliff, they saw Military Doctor Shen force-feeding the Soldier medicine. He also had several wounds on his body.

"Quick, wrap him in a quilt and move him by the bonfire..."

Xiao Niannian stepped forward and took a new set of clothes from her backpack, handing them to Lu Jing.

"These were made for you by Grandma and Mom. They've been washed."

Lu Jing smiled when he heard Niannian's words.

"Thank you, Grandma and Aunt."

Lu Jing didn't expect Niannian to have carried a set of clothes in her bag for so long without giving them to him.

Xiao Niannian had originally intended to give them to Lu Jing earlier, but after putting them into her spatial storage, she forgot about it.

She only remembered now.

Lu Jing went behind the fabric enclosure nearby, changed into his new clothes, then put on his military uniform and came back.

Xiao Niannian and Military Doctor Shen together treated the Soldier's wounds.

Other Soldiers helped boil water and brew medicine.

They also changed the Soldier's clothes, putting him in thick ones.

After a long while, Xiao Niannian heard a cough.

"Cough, cough, cough."

comrade Xiao Qin opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding Soldiers, somewhat disbelieving his eyes.

"Didn't I die?"

"Xiao Qin, what are you talking about dying? Instructor Xiao found you."

"You're still alive."

Seeing Xiao Qin alive, Squad Leader Liu and Comrade Li were incredibly excited.

"Squad Leader Liu, Brother Li, Brother Feng..."

Seeing his comrades-in-arms, Xiao Qin burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu, I thought I'd never see you again..."

"Don't cry. Instructor Xiao found you, and she and Captain Lu saved you."

Hearing his comrades-in-arms' words, Xiao Qin looked around. He had vaguely seen someone swimming towards him just now, but he thought it was a hallucination.

Who are Captain Lu and Instructor Xiao?

The wind and waves in this river are so strong, they couldn't have encountered danger, could they?

"Captain Lu, Instructor Xiao."

"They're right here."

Squad Leader Liu introduced Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian to Xiao Qin.

"They are very impressive."

Squad Leader Liu now admired Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian immensely.

Xiao Li and the others also praised Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian in various ways.

"Breakfast should be ready. After you've eaten, we'll go and rendezvous with Captain Gu and the others," Lu Jing instructed the crowd.

"Yes."

After breakfast, everyone took the captives and wounded and rushed to the agreed location.

They had to send off the wounded and captives first before they could search for the other three Team Members.

After walking for over an hour, they reached the vicinity of the patrol point. Gu Yuan and Battalion Commander Wei and the others were overjoyed to see Lu Jing and their comrades-in-arms.

Battalion Commander Wei walked towards the wounded.

"Battalion Commander Wei."

"Old Liu."

Battalion Commander Wei knew these wounded and smiled, showing his concern for them.

Seeing Xiao Qin's weak appearance, Battalion Commander Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have now found thirteen comrades-in-arms. Two more are still missing. Do you have any information?"

Hearing Battalion Commander Wei's words, Xiao Qin replied.

"When I jumped into the river, the other two comrades-in-arms were shot, and they also fell in. At that time, I wanted to save them, but the water was too swift, and then I passed out..."

"Where did you jump into the river?"

Xiao Qin immediately replied.

"It was between Patrol Point Four and Patrol Point Five..."

Xiao Qin described the situation at that location.

Lu Jing and Battalion Commander Wei looked at the map, and Squad Leader Liu also confirmed the location.

"This is the location."

"After we send off the wounded, we'll go search there."

Lu Jing contacted the Commanders via radio. They lit several bonfires, and the smoke quickly drifted into the sky.

After waiting for a while longer, several helicopters appeared before them.

The place they were searching in was very suitable for helicopters to land.

After the helicopter landed, Lu Jing and the others carried the wounded onto the aircraft. After this one transported the wounded away, another one landed and took the captives.

Comrade Qian and Comrade Wu were unwilling to leave. Their arm injuries were not serious, and they could move freely, so they wanted to stay and find the two comrades-in-arms.

These few had patrolled here dozens of times and were very familiar with the routes around, so Lu Jing agreed to let them stay.

"Captain Lu, Captain Gu, let's go along the riverbank now, searching upstream from the river..."

Comrade Qian, Comrade Wu, Battalion Commander Wei, and several veterans discussed.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian looked at the newly delivered supplies. They had consumed a lot of supplies and medicine these past few days, but now they had replenished more than half, so even if they stayed in this mountain for another month, there would be no problem.

"There are two to three kilometers of riverbank here to walk... Xiao Qin was swept down by the river, so those two comrades-in-arms must also be nearby."

Xiao Niannian followed the team, her gaze fixed on the river, while the other Soldiers also divided tasks and searched around the riverbank.

"Old Lu, do you think they might have gone to the opposite riverbank?"

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Lu Jing looked at the opposite riverbank.

Their next patrol point was the opposite riverbank.

"First, search this riverbank. If we don't find anyone, we'll go search in the mountains on the other side... Maybe they left us traces."

In the Special Forces Brigade, some Team Members proposed an idea.

"Captain Lu, why don't we make a boat? Maybe they've already been washed downstream..."

"Captain Lu, we can build a boat quickly, and maybe we can find the missing comrades-in-arms."

Battalion Commander Wei and several Soldiers looked at these people in surprise.

What were they talking about? Building a boat?

Do you have to learn how to build a boat to join the Special Forces Brigade?

And all these people know how to build boats?

Heavens, is there anything these Special Forces can't do?
