Chapter 624 Strength Clears Up the Misunderstanding

"What? Planning to beg for mercy?" Company Commander Chang asked quietly, turning his head slightly.

"Mustard mushroom poisoning has three stages: incubation period, latent period, and onset period." Wen Ni ignored his question and seized the opportunity to say loudly, "Delaying even a minute, or even a second, could lead to the loss of an innocent life! Company Commander Chang, you don't want to see your comrades, who have been with you day and night and shared life and death, die from poisoning like this, do you?"

"Who caused them to be like this? Isn't it all because of you filthy, despicable Burmese barbarians and traitors?" Company Commander Chang waved his hand in disgust. "Don't try to scare me with that. I won't fall for it!"

“You already have purple spots on your face, and you will soon have bleeding symptoms like them.” Wen Ni knew that proving her identity was useless, so she could only try another approach. “We have a corresponding treatment plan that can delay the onset of the disease. Once the antidote for mustard seeds arrives, you can take it in time, and your body will not have any major problems.”

"Purple spots?"

Company Commander Chang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.

Looking at his comrades lying on straw mats, writhing in grief, he felt a pang of anxiety and couldn't help but feel worried and fearful.

Who isn't afraid of death? It's just that the suffering hasn't happened to them yet.

Clearly, this Company Commander Chang was not the kind of person who feared death, and... he was also terrifyingly stubborn!

"Sweet talk, I'd rather die here than be saved by you Burmese savages!"

"..." Wen Ni's face darkened for once.

"It's all over, this is terrible. Not only did we fail to save the person, but now we're all going to die here!" Nurse Xiao Rong sighed in despair, looking up at the sky.

Liu Shuzheng gritted his teeth, moved his hand slightly up his leg, and stepped closer to Wen Ni. "Wen Ni, how about I take this arrogant Company Commander Chang hostage first? You guys can retreat while things are in chaos?"

Fighting with one's own people? That would only make the situation more chaotic and harder to explain.

Without even thinking, Wen Ni shook her head and rejected the suggestion!

Just when things were getting really tough, several soldiers lying on straw mats started to writhe, their cries of pain growing louder than before!

The few medical staff in the company were simply overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with the situation.

"Oh no, they have internal bleeding!"

"We've run out of clotting agents, what do we do?!"

"We also lack equipment and medicine, Company Commander Chang!"

The repeated calls made Company Commander Chang's face turn even paler.

"Where are the medical kits we brought!" Wen Ni, surrounded by soldiers, suddenly shouted, glaring at squad leader Wang Feng. "There's a whole box of clotting agents there!"

"Huh?" Wang Feng was taken aback, unsure of what to do.

Until Company Commander Chang rushed up from behind and yelled, "What? Where's the first-aid kit she was talking about?"

"I'll go get it right away!"

Wang Feng shuddered in fright and led a few people to turn around and lift it.

Six medium-sized medicine boxes were laid out on the ground. They anxiously opened them one by one, rummaging through them, muttering, "What are all these? Which one is the clotting agent?"

"Hey you, Li, take a look and see which one you need..."

Before they could finish shouting, Wen Ni had already raised her hand to push aside the gun blocking her way, and walked out of the encirclement in a very bold manner, heading straight for one of the medicine boxes!

She walked away calmly, leaving the soldiers guarding them with guns stunned, looking completely bewildered.

Liu Shuzheng was the second to go out, followed closely by Nurse Xiaorong and Dr. Lin!

They ran to the wounded soldier lying on a straw mat, neglected and ignored, knelt down on one knee, opened their medical kits, and began to treat and rescue the wounded soldier without saying a word!

Seeing that they hadn't done anything other than rescue people, the soldiers stood there, guns in one hand, bewildered, staring blankly at Company Commander Chang.

Little did anyone know, Company Commander Chang was also in a state of utter confusion!

The appearance of this group of medical personnel claiming to be from the 85th Army Group was inexplicable, and their identities were certainly questionable. However, many soldiers were starting to fall ill, some even critically ill. Even if the Burmese didn't send anyone to suppress them, they probably wouldn't survive the next few days! For now, let's boldly trust them this once!

"Here!"

Wen Ni had already found a medicine box full of clotting agents. She lifted one corner of the medicine box by herself and pushed it to the injured person's side!

Distribute the coagulant to every medical staff member

She immediately turned around and went to find other medicines and equipment that she needed!

Throughout the entire process, they were focused and busy among the patients and wounded soldiers.

Their operation was professional and swift; they certainly seem to have a lot of experience dealing with mustard fungus!

"Company Commander Chang..." Squad Leader Wang Feng tentatively called out, "...they..."

"It seems we've truly wronged them this time." Company Commander Chang stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the busy and enthusiastic crowd, his eyes slightly darkening. "Go and see if the officer has returned."

"good!"

Wang Feng accepted the order and turned to leave, but was stopped by Company Commander Chang!

"What's wrong, Company Commander Chang? Is there anything else you need?"

"Do you have any unopened marching rations? Bring some over to keep on hand."

"There should be some, but not many left. I'll go look for them!"

With that, Wang Feng led a few soldiers off to get busy.

Company Commander Chang turned around and stood there, watching and keeping watch. Until the sun set and the light on the mountain faded, a small fire lit up, barely enough for illumination.

Wen Ni squatted on the ground, finished cleaning the wound of the last soldier infected with mustard seeds, and packed up her things, but couldn't stand up for a long time!

"Your leg is numb?" It was Company Commander Chang's voice.

"..."

"Well, thank you for your hard work today." Company Commander Chang rubbed his nose awkwardly, glancing around visibly embarrassed, and mumbled, "Go rest by the campfire for a bit. There's some unopened marching rations. It's not much, but you can use it to fill your stomachs!"

"..." Wen Ni lowered her head and pressed her calves, which were gradually regaining sensation.

"You said during the day that you were the vanguard medical team of the 85th Group Army, weren't you lying to me?" Company Commander Chang knew exactly how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

"Company Commander Chang still doesn't believe me? You can still throw us off the cliff one by one." The gentle girl cleared her throat, her voice cold and sarcastic as she enunciated each word: "To live, to die!"

"You're quite vengeful."

Company Commander Chang gave a wry smile, just about to turn around and escape this awkward situation.

Before them, several bodies covered with white sheets were carried over by soldiers, their eyes lowered and their steps heavy.

Wen Ni slowly stood up, and almost simultaneously, she and Company Commander Chang silently saluted the corpses with solemn military salute.

"We've tried every method we could, but some comrades are still too deeply poisoned to be saved." Wen Ni's resentful tone softened, revealing only deep sorrow.

"I know you did your best." Company Commander Chang's profile was hidden in the flickering firelight, a tear glistening in his eye, unable to contain his emotion. "These soldiers are all under my command; I can call every single one of them by name. It's a pity that from now on, when their names are called, no one will be able to answer..."

His words touched Wen Ni as well.

Her eyelashes drooped, concealing her sadness, and she tossed a bag full of medicine bottles into Company Commander Chang's hand!

"What is this?" Company Commander Chang asked, looking down in a daze.
