Qing Xuanzi and Rong Lianhu were relieved to see her finish the bottle of milk.

After finishing her milk, Rong Jiaojiao wanted to sleep again. Qing Xuanzi held her firmly in front of him so she could sleep peacefully, then took out some steamed buns and meat sauce, and ate them with Rong Lianhu.

Knowing the situation was urgent, the two quickly ate the steamed buns, drank some water, and immediately set off to return.

On the way, Qing Xuanzi felt that Rong Jiaojiao's body temperature was rising again. Fortunately, it was not very hot, just like yesterday, and her pulse was fine. Given the experience of last night, Qing Xuanzi was not as worried as he was last night.

It seems that what was taken away today was absorbed by the fairy treasure and is now being used to nourish Rong Jiaojiao.

Although he thought this way, he still checked Rong Jiaojiao's pulse, forehead, and palms from time to time along the way to see if her body temperature had changed. He was only completely relieved when Rong Jiaojiao's body temperature returned to normal.

Based on their pace, they could at most return to the cave from last night to rest before dark.

However, in order to resolve the potential danger as soon as possible, they decided to travel at night.

In the evening, they returned to the cave where they had rested the day before, prepared some food inside, fed Rong Jiaojiao, and then continued their journey.

Rong Lianhu was used to marching at night, while Qing Xuanzi could see everything around him clearly, regardless of day or night. So the two returned to the town at the crack of dawn.

Rong Lianhu was in a hurry to get back to his unit, so he said goodbye to Qing Xuanzi as soon as he arrived in town: "Brother, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you and Jiaojiao again after I've finished reporting the matter."

Qing Xuanzi stopped him: "Wait, go back and report to your superiors, borrow the military vehicle, and take the two wild boars and two sheep back to the military."

Rong Lianhu exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, brother! On behalf of all the brothers, thank you! The troops haven't had any meat for over a month. Now we can finally get some for the kids!"

Seeing his delighted expression, Qing Xuanzi couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, "Go back quickly!"

Rong Lianhu didn't delay any longer and ran towards the military base outside the town, his steps were so fast that it was almost like he was running.

He knew in his heart that these dangerous biochemical toxins had to be reported as soon as possible; otherwise, every minute of delay would increase the danger.

At the same time, he also wanted to finish the report quickly and then bring the wild boar back. The troops had not received any meat supplies for a long time, and the soldiers and children were in dire need of nutrition.

Qing Xuanzi watched Rong Lianhu's departing figure, sighed slightly, turned around, and carried Rong Jiaojiao towards the small house in town.

Rong Jiaojiao, unaware of the adults' worries, tightly gripped Qing Xuanzi's clothes with her little hands and slept soundly in his arms.

Qing Xuanzi returned to the hut, placed Rong Jiaojiao on the bed, and gently covered her with a blanket.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her sleeping face, feeling both sorrow and pride.

What worries her is when Rong Jiaojiao will learn to restrain her special abilities in front of outsiders, while what makes her proud is that she has discovered another special ability of Rong Jiaojiao.

He then shook his head and muttered to himself, "If you want an outstanding apprentice, you really have to put in a lot of effort."

He shook his head randomly, went to the courtyard to collect the water he had gathered from the formation over the past two days, and took it to the kitchen to boil water and cook porridge.

Meanwhile, Rong Lianhu rushed straight to the gate of the family compound, only to be spotted by the soldiers on guard from afar.

Before he could even see the person clearly from afar, he shouted, "Stop! Who's there? What are you doing here?"

Rong Lianhu also shouted back: "Rong Lianhu, Battalion Commander of the Second Battalion, Third Regiment."

As he spoke, the man had already arrived in front of the soldier. Upon seeing that it was indeed Rong Lianhu, the soldier asked in confusion, "Commander Rong, how did you get back from outside?"

Rong Lianhu made up a story: "I went to a friend's place yesterday, and I'm doing my morning practice now!"

After saying that, he waved and hurried to the family compound, but instead of going home, he went straight to his own regimental commander's house.

Song Qiming, the commander of the Third Regiment, had just gotten up, washed up, and was about to go for his morning exercise when he opened the door and bumped right into Rong Lianhu's hand, which was raised to knock.

Seeing Rong Lianhu covered in sweat and panting heavily, Song Qiming frowned and asked, "Rong Lianhu, what happened? What's wrong?"

Rong Lianhu didn't even bother to bow, grabbed her hand and started to walk out. Song Qiming was confused and tried to break free, but Rong Lianhu held her tightly, saying, "Commander, don't make trouble, come with me quickly. There's something we can't decide, we need to go find the commander."

Hearing this, Song Qiming stopped struggling and said, "Alright, let go of me first. What kind of behavior is this, holding me like this makes it hard for me to walk."

Rong Lianhu then realized his lapse in composure. He quickly released his grip, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, and explained, "Sorry, Commander, I was too hasty. This matter is really important; we need to go and report to the commander immediately."

Knowing he wouldn't mess around with something like this, and since it wasn't appropriate to say much on the way, I ran with him to the regimental office.

On the way, Song Qiming asked, "What important thing is it? Tell me about it first."

Rong Lianhu looked around and, finding it safe, said, "Biochemical laboratory."

"What?"

Song Qiming's voice rose several octaves, then, realizing something was wrong, he lowered his voice again and asked seriously, "Are you sure what you're saying is true?"

Rong Lianhu answered very seriously: "Confirmed."

Song Qiming said no more and sped up his run.

As the highest-ranking official in this area, Wei Guodong lived in one of the two best-equipped detached two-story houses in the family compound.

The other building is vacant, intended for use sometimes to entertain high-ranking officials who come to inspect the area.

The two small buildings are located at the deepest part of the family compound, close to the military camp, and are surrounded by high walls, making them appear particularly solemn and dignified.

Two guards were standing at the gate. When they saw Rong Lianhu and Song Qiming running in a hurry, they immediately blocked their way.

One of the soldiers saluted the two men and asked, "Commander Song, Battalion Commander Rong, what brings you here?"

While panting heavily, Song Qiming said, "Please report to the commander immediately. Song Qiming and Rong Lianhu have an emergency to report!"

The guard saluted again and said, "Yes, please wait a moment, I'll go in and inform them."

After the guard finished speaking, he turned and ran into the courtyard. A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard from inside.

Wei Guodong, dressed in a neat military uniform, came out of the house with a serious expression on his face, clearly having learned about the situation from the guards.

"Rong Lianhu, Song Qiming, is it really you? What happened that made you come here?" Wei Guodong's voice was deep and authoritative.

Rong Lianhu and Song Qiming walked quickly to Wei Guodong. Song Qiming looked at Rong Lianhu and gestured for him to speak.

Rong Lianhu stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Commander, we have discovered a place that is suspected to be a Japanese biological laboratory!"
