"I'll be with you."

Although Xiao Lingfeng's martial arts skills are already quite impressive in this world, and he is practically invincible except for her, Jian Ning is still worried. It's best for the two of them to go out together for safety.

"Okay. Let's go now."

Xiao Lingfeng didn't waste any time. He briefly said a few words to the soldier next to him, then took Jian Ning's hand and left the base gate together. He took out a helicopter from his spatial storage and flew towards Jiang City.

The helicopter was fast, and the two arrived in Jiang City in less than half an hour. Seeing that the area wasn't covered in snow...

The exposed parts of the house show signs of cutting on the trees.

We know this place was also attacked by ice shards, but we don't know how the soldiers who stayed here are doing.

The two stepped off the helicopter, their footsteps barely touching the snow, leaving no trace of their footprints.

Despite the extreme cold, the soldiers guarding the gate remained steadfast at their posts.

There was a small heater hanging behind them. It seems the facilities here are quite humane; at least the soldiers weren't left standing guard in the cold.

"Captain Xiao." The soldier was very excited to see Xiao Lingfeng coming. He saluted and greeted him.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm here to see Dr. Fu. Is he here?" Xiao Lingfeng returned the salute and asked with a smile.

"Dr. Fu has been locked in the lab for over a day and hasn't come out yet. Once he gets into research, he forgets to eat and sleep."

"I'll go check if the commander is here," Xiao Lingfeng asked again.

"No, they went to the base in Changshi. They've been gone for over half a month."

After hearing what the soldier said, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but worry. In such cold weather, why wasn't the soldier staying at the garrison? What urgent matter required the old commander to go there personally?

However, knowing that asking the soldiers wouldn't yield any specific information, he could only nod and lead Jian Ning to Fu Mengfan's laboratory.

It's so cold. The heating here is all done by burning wood in a stove. The building outside the laboratory is the medical room.

The stove was burning brightly, and a soldier in a white coat was sitting at a table writing something. He immediately stood up when someone pushed the door open and entered.

Upon seeing that it was Xiao Lingfeng, his face was filled with surprise and delight.

"Captain Xiao, what brings you here?"

"Tornado, Liu, long time no see!" Xiao Lingfeng walked over and shook hands with him warmly.

"Is this your sister-in-law? I had a mission when you got married last time, so I couldn't go. When Dr. Fu came back, he praised your sister-in-law a lot."

"Please sit down and have some hot water!" Da Liu stood up, picked up the thermos on the table, and poured hot water for the two of them, but there was no tea.

The water supply is quite plentiful now.

Not only can the snow outside melt into water, but they also have many water-based warriors, so they can store a lot of drinking water every day.

Were any soldiers injured in the cold wave a couple of days ago? I don't see much impact here.

Xiao Lingfeng sat down but didn't rush to find Fu Mengfan. Instead, he started chatting with Da Liu.

"We received advance warning of the impending cold wave and made ample preparations. Thanks to our timely response, the damage was not severe."

There are only two wounded soldiers here, but they only have superficial injuries.

He's still recovering inside. It's a strange thing though; his wounds keep bleeding and I can't stop them.

So Dr. Fu collected samples and is studying them in the lab. It's been over a day now, and they're still not out. He hasn't even eaten a bite of food.

"It's perfect timing, Captain Xiao, you're here. I'll call him out so he can eat something and rest. Even a healthy person couldn't keep going like this."

As Liu spoke, he stood up and tried to knock on the door of the research lab, but Xiao Lingfeng stopped him.

"No rush, lead us to see the wounded soldiers."

"Okay, right here."

Da Liu led the two men to a room to the side, lifted the curtain, and inside were single beds on one side. It was a fairly large room, but there were two soldiers lying there, both wrapped in blankets, so it was impossible to tell where they were injured.

"It's those two. Zhao Qiang is injured in his thigh and limbs."

Li Haizhuang had injuries all over his body except for his face. However, they were all superficial wounds, and should have healed considerably by now; after all, superhuman warriors are generally in good physical condition.

But for some reason, they were both not very awake, remaining in a semi-conscious state.

Jian Ning strode over, lifted the blanket covering the person on the left, and saw that the gauze bandage on his arm was stained red with blood, and something seemed to be wriggling slightly inside.

It moves extremely slowly. You wouldn't notice it at all unless you looked very closely.

"They're infected. These two are gene warriors, right?" Jian Ning stood up straight and asked Da Liu.

"Yes, both are fire-type. In this cold weather, we mainly send out fire-types for our operations," Da Liu quickly explained.

“I can save them. Go and call Dr. Fu over here.”

"Okay, I'll go right now." Da Liu quickly ran outside.

Jian Ning took out a bundle of mugwort from her spatial storage and handed it to Xiao Lingfeng.

"You handle this in a bit, I'll assist you."

"Okay." Xiao Lingfeng didn't stand on ceremony and had just taken the mugwort when Fu Mengfan ran in from outside.

"Ling Feng, is there any way?"

“They’ve been poisoned by a Gu worm. Once we fumigate the Gu worms out, they’ll be fine. Meng Fan, take off all the gauze from their bodies.”

Upon hearing Xiao Lingfeng's words, Fu Mengfan did not hesitate at all and immediately took action.

When the bandage on his arm was removed, it seemed to be much worse than when he bandaged it yesterday. The pale flesh was turned inside out, and blood was constantly seeping out.

"Da Liu, untie the other wounds too. Meng Fan, watch how I treat them."

As Xiao Lingfeng spoke, a small flame appeared at his fingertips. He lit the mugwort in his hand and placed it near the wound.

Fu Mengfan stared intently at Xiao Lingfeng's movements, watching as the wound suddenly began to twitch violently. A chill ran down his spine.

There really were bugs. Jian Ning had already taken out a glass bottle. When the tiny bug crawled out of her skin, she simply sucked it in gently, and the bug flew inside.

Then came the second, the third, and five Gu worms were drawn from this wound. Then Xiao Lingfeng changed positions and drew out more than ten Gu worms from the wound.

Jian Ning collected them all without missing a single one, and then handed them to Fu Mengfan.

"Dr. Fu, we came here to bring you this, to see if you can figure out a way to deal with the Gu worms. These worms are small, easy to hide, and difficult to detect."

If they were to proliferate in large numbers, we would be in a difficult situation to deal with.
