Chapter 74 Show Me Your Bag

Qi An emerged from the layers of memories and returned to that desolate snowfield.

Of course, now the sky here is clear and the world is like a crystal world, and a bonfire is burning brightly on the snow, like a beating heart at the center of the world.

The boy had transformed into the young man he was now, and without a care for the scorching flames, he stared blankly at them.

Qi An had no interest in staying any longer and turned to leave, but the boy caught up with him and grabbed his wrist.

He seemed anxious, as if he were waiting for her.

Qi An severed the resonance, and in reality, Chen Ji suddenly woke up from her dream, but grabbed Qi An as she was about to leave.

He lay on the ground, looking at her from below, just as he had in the spiritual world when he was a boy, bending down to hold her hand. His dark eyes were wide open as he looked at her, filled with a bewildered curiosity and a cautious expectation, which made him look pitiful.

But he gripped her hand too tightly, without any sense of proportion, causing Qi An to furrow her brows in pain.

The argument caused the branches and leaves to sway and make noise, attracting people's attention.

With a "click," the pistol was chambered, and the barrel was pressed against Chen Ji's forehead.

"Let go!" Feng Xu's voice was like a muffled thunderclap.

His other hand did indeed grip Chen Ji's left wrist, and the electric arc could travel from the boy's wrist all the way to his heart!

Chen Ji pursed his lips tightly, only relaxing them after several seconds.

Once Qi An's wrist was freed, he immediately retreated and crawled out of the bushes.

Although Feng Xu's electric arc did not strike Chen Ji's heart, it still effectively paralyzed Chen Ji's left upper limb, rendering him unable to move.

Despite the excruciating pain, the boy didn't utter a sound or retaliate. He simply stared at Qi An's back until it disappeared from sight.

Qi An walked toward the military medical tent, and Feng Xu followed, his eyes still like the sea brewing a storm.

He wanted to ask something, but hesitated, and finally said in a deep voice, "Don't go near him alone in the future!"

Qi An glanced at him.

From Feng Xu's perspective, he heard her cry of pain as he passed by, and saw her struggling as he parted the bushes...

Who would have thought that it was actually she who "forced" Chen Ji in the beginning?

Qi An said "Oh" and thanked him.

They had reached the open space in front of the camp.

Small all-terrain vehicles were loaded with people, and once full, they started and drove out of the forest.

After a short rest to recover their strength, many squads decided to withdraw completely and return to their base.

Qi An looked for a moment, then turned and walked into the military doctor's tent.

In fact, apart from the command tent and the supply storage area, the rest of the camp consisted entirely of military medical tents.

Outside the command tent, people were coming and going. Gao Qian, the squad leader of the new base who was the largest "Big White" (referring to a medical worker in a white protective suit), entered the tent.

His team had one seriously wounded soldier and three fallen members. He requested that his teammate Chen Bei take the wounded soldier and his belongings back to base first.

They only sent the wounded and their belongings back to base first. After a series of battles, only a few of them remained, battered and bruised, but they still insisted on staying behind to continue fighting.

This surprised and impressed the commander of the 1st Regiment of the South China Army, who was in charge of frontline command, and he praised him several times.

"The application is approved. Send the soldiers home. I also hope that the remaining warriors in your team will return home safely!" the 1st Regiment Commander said sincerely.

Gao Qian saluted, neither boasting nor showing off, and went back to make arrangements for his team.

"The team from the new base killed two White Priests."

"If we hadn't missed a few outposts, they should be at the top of the list," said Staff Officer Yu, who was dressed like a roly-poly toy, wearing at least three layers of protective clothing.

This person's dislike for the Stars Squad seems to have evolved from an initial stance to an instinctive aversion after repeated setbacks in their judgments.

The Chief of Staff Mao of the North 1st Army has received strong support from the New Life Base, both in terms of his position and the many policies he has issued. Staff Officer Yu should logically dislike the New Life Base, but now he has started praising it.

The solemn Staff Officer Meng glanced at him, about to say something, when he noticed a commotion breaking out in the open space ahead where the cars were parked.

Yu Shuang stopped Chen Bei, the young man who was about to get into the car with his bag, and said:

"Is your bag full of your team's stuff?"
