Shen Cinian's brows were twisted into a knot, and he looked very conflicted.

Forget it, let’s give the professor a sip first, at least to save his life.

Firstly, the professor was saved at the cost of the lives of several of his companions, and secondly, if the professor died, it would be a huge loss to the country.

As for what was in the gourd, if anyone asked, he would say that it was given to him by his grandfather.

If they want to know more, let them ask grandpa.

After figuring it out, Shen Ci Nian slowly said: “Let’s rest for a while and eat something to restore our strength.”

Teammate A: "What should we do, Professor Hao?"

"I'll feed him some food first and see how it goes. The rest will be up to fate."

Hearing Shen Qinian's words, everyone's faces couldn't help but darken, obviously they were very unwilling to accept this result.

I hope Professor Hao can survive this, otherwise the lives of several brothers will be sacrificed in vain.

Shen Qinian took out some dry food and stuffed it into Professor Hao's mouth bit by bit. Fortunately, Professor Hao still had the ability to swallow independently at this time.

After feeding him a few mouthfuls of dry food, Shen Cinian unscrewed the gourd, poured some water, and carefully fed it into the professor's mouth.

As soon as the water entered his stomach, the professor felt that the pain in his body had eased a lot.

As time went by, the injured parts of Professor Hao were slowly recovering.

Teammate A saw Professor Hao's face gradually regain its color and almost jumped up with joy.

He lowered his voice, his tone full of surprise, and said, "Look, is the professor's face a little redder?"

"Really? Could it be that the state just now was purely due to hunger?"

"It's possible. After all, those people wouldn't be so kind as to feed the professor."

......

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they began a new round of escape.

But this time their luck didn't seem to be very good. Not long after they walked out of the bushes, Shen Qinian suddenly stopped.

From the dense forest not far away came the irritable voices of those searching for them.

"Damn it! How could these guys run so fast? Clearly, several of them were injured by our men, and they're still dragging a half-dead old guy with them. How come they just vanished like they disappeared from the face of the earth?"

"That's right. I haven't had a full night's sleep in two days. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll die suddenly."

"You're still thinking about sleeping. If we can't find them, I'm afraid we won't survive until the day after tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Why do you say we lost that old man? How can the higher-ups let us go?" The man spat and gritted his teeth, "The higher-ups have said that if we don't find him in two days, we will be buried with him."

......

Hearing the conversation between the two, Shen Qinian's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Two days? It seems like these two days will be difficult.

The only reason he was able to dodge now was because of his super hearing.

But as time goes on, Shen Ci Nian's spirit will only become more exhausted.

After all, if you can't sleep well at night and are busy during the day, you will probably die if this continues.

Listening to the voices of the two people's conversation getting farther and farther away, Shen Qinian led everyone to continue moving forward.

Jiang Jianhua rubbed his brows and asked, "Brother Nian, were there any enemies nearby just now?"

"Well, they've gone far away and are safe now."

"Two days have passed, why does it feel like the other party is getting closer and closer?"

"Their superiors have said that if they don't find us within two days, they will die."

After hearing Shen Cinian’s words, the scene fell into silence for a while.

Because they knew that this meant that their situation would become increasingly dangerous in the future, but they had no way out.

"Ahem."

Two low coughs startled everyone.

What kind of place is this? It’s no exaggeration to say it’s a life-and-death crisis. Who dares to cough?

Just as everyone was tense, teammate A, who was carrying the professor on his back, said in a low voice, "It seems the professor has woken up."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cinian turned his head to look at the professor. Sure enough, the professor was looking at them with a tired and painful expression.

"Are...are you the ones who saved me?"

"Yes, Professor Hao, how do you feel now?"

"Very...very good." Professor Hao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation."

After hearing Professor Hao's words, Shen Cinian knew that Professor Hao had heard their conversation just now.

"This isn't your fault. If anyone is to blame, it's that traitor. If he hadn't revealed your whereabouts, you wouldn't have been caught."

"In the final analysis, it is because I didn't know people well that led to the current result."

Seeing Professor Hao's depressed look, Shen Qinian hurriedly tried to comfort him:

"Professor Hao, your most important task right now is to rest well and not let your mind wander. Don't worry, we will definitely get you out of this forest safely."

Looking at Shen Cinian's serious expression, Professor Hao nodded heavily.

Yes, now is not the time for him to feel sorry for himself. He must live well so that he can continue to contribute to the country.

Next, thanks to Shen Cinian's cleverness, he avoided several crises.

But the God of Fate seemed unwilling to continue to favor them, causing them to be surrounded by the enemy at the last moment when they were leaving the forest.

"Hahaha, God really does bless me." The man laughed heartily. "I thought you had already escaped through another exit. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to get away with it. My bet paid off."

Shen Qinian's face was grim, and his voice was as cold as ice in winter. "So what? Do you really think you can take Professor Hao away from us?"

"I definitely can't do it alone, but we're many. Even if we exchange our lives for yours, you won't be able to escape. As long as we leave you behind, how can Professor Hao still escape?"

Looking at the crowd of people rushing towards him, Jiang Jianhua's fingers holding the gun began to turn slightly white, "Brother Nian, what should we do now?"

"Don't be afraid. As long as Professor Hao is still here, they won't act rashly. After all, a dead person has no value."

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have installed a bug on their side, and shouted arrogantly: "I advise you to hand over Professor Hao. This way you may have a chance of survival. If you don't, you will die."

Professor Hao thought of the torture they had inflicted on him, and the injuries that had just recovered somewhat began to ache again.

But he couldn't be so selfish. He was already half buried in the ground, and these young men were only twenty-five or twenty-six years old at most. They still had a bright future ahead of them.

Professor Hao's voice was hoarse, "Xiao Shen, if it really doesn't work, just hand me over and save your own life."

Unexpectedly, Shen Qinian refused without a second thought, "No, we sacrificed several teammates' lives to rescue you. If I hand you over now, how can I be worthy of their sacrifice?"

"But we can't keep wasting time with them. If we do that, even if we don't get beaten to death by them, we'll starve to death."

"I'll find a way to do this, Professor Hao. Your current task is to recover from your injuries. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely get you out safely!"
