Chapter 622 She is a knife
"It's the Army Commander!"
"Why is the Army Commander so late? What happened?"
The young nurse looked on expectantly and muttered something curiously.
As the only person in the room who knew about the young couple's situation, Liu Shuzheng wasn't surprised. He simply led his soldiers to stand in formation and salute, respectfully saying, "Commander."
"Mm." Lu Jinye nodded to him.
"Commander!" Dr. Lin was about to step forward when he suddenly realized he hadn't changed out of his protective suit. He quickly stopped and called out, "Commander, are you concerned about those two soldiers? I'll go change and give you a detailed report!"
"No need for that."
Lu Jinye raised his hand indifferently, then turned his gaze to Wen Ni, who was standing still. "Let Wen Ni tell me."
"Then I'll go change my clothes." Wen Ni turned and went into the quarantine tent.
Dr. Lin stood there, scratching his head in confusion...
He used to report everything to Lu Jinye, so it's a bit strange to suddenly have a different person now.
"I knew it! If Dr. Lin could be assisting Dr. Wen, then Dr. Wen's background must be extraordinary!"
"Dr. Wen can't report us to Commander Lu, can he?"
The young nurses seemed a little nervous and whispered among themselves.
While they were still speculating, Wen Ni had already changed into a brand new, clean protective suit. She walked to a spot less than two meters in front of Lu Jinye and suddenly stopped.
"Those two wounded soldiers are infected with mustard bacteria. To prevent any accidents, it's best if we keep our distance!" Wen Ni didn't need to raise her voice too much; it was clear enough in the quiet valley.
Lu Jinye raised his hand that was hanging by his side, then finally clenched it and put it down, giving a faint "Okay".
"Did something urgent happen that brought you here so late?"
"No."
Lu Jinye gazed at the person so close yet unreachable, his brows furrowed with a mixture of sorrow and melancholy.
"I just finished what I was doing and wanted to come see you."
How could he not care?
When Liu Shuzheng was reporting, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were trembling.
He was afraid, afraid of losing her again!
His patience had reached its limit by waiting until now.
Just now, when he saw the girl standing in the wilderness wearing a blood-stained protective suit, his heart ached, but he was also relieved that she seemed unharmed!
"I'm fine." Wen Ni sensed his worry, her tone light, her eyes crinkling. "You know how capable I am. With my abilities, what else could you possibly be worried about?"
"Yes, you're so capable, I shouldn't be worried about you."
Lu Jinye's tense emotions gradually relaxed because of her.
"You've been busy all day and haven't eaten, have you? I brought some food for a late-night snack, I'll distribute it to everyone in a bit."
"Okay." Wen Ni still smiled.
Their conversation was overheard by others.
Dr. Lin and the two nurses were completely dumbfounded!
Although there was no more explicit dialogue, only a fool could not sense the ambiguous feelings surging between their words!
"Commander, I have something important to tell you." Wen Ni suppressed her smile, addressed him respectfully, and spoke in a heavy tone.
Lu Jinye frowned unconsciously as he listened to her concisely relay what the wounded soldier had said!
The more he listened, the more serious his expression became.
"I have already contacted the logistics team, and their response is still that it will take two days."
“I know that, but the comrades on Hill 679 don’t.”
They were infected by the poisonous fungus and were unaware that the enemy at the foot of the mountain had already retreated, while their own reinforcements were just a hundred miles away!
"So?" Lu Jinye's eyes darkened, already knowing what she was thinking.
“My old company is on Hill 679, and there might be people I know there too. So I plan to take a medical team up there first to deliver some medicine and provide some first aid. That should reduce casualties and calm them down. Once the antidote arrives, you can send someone over!”
Wen Ni was very determined.
In other words, she is always this firm in whatever she decides to do!
"If I tell you not to go, will you listen?" Lu Jinye asked.
Wen Ni slowly shook her head.
Lu Jinye sighed almost imperceptibly; he knew perfectly well that this would be the outcome.
When do we depart?
"Before dawn."
"I'll send you some men."
"We don't need to arrange too many people; the fewer people, the easier it is to move around."
As they were talking, Liu Shu stepped forward and volunteered, "Commander, I'll take some men and go up with Wen Ni!"
“Alright.” Lu Jinye nodded, then pondered seriously, “What about the medical team…”
"I'll go!" Dr. Lin raised his hand. "We've worked with Dr. Wen before, so we have a pretty good understanding of each other! Besides, we have more experience dealing with mustard seed poisoning!"
"Dr. Lin is right!"
Two nurses also stepped forward.
This was somewhat unexpected for Wen Ni!
"you?"
"What's wrong with us? Does Dr. Wen look down on us?"
The most talkative nurse laughed and joked, then said with a somewhat serious yet awkward expression, "I just... think you're right. How can you understand the preciousness of life if you haven't been in dangerous situations? So I also want to go to the front lines and experience the heart-stopping fear you've gone through!"
Hearing this, Wen Ni felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but smile. "It's wonderful that you're willing to travel with me."
"Yes!" The others all smiled.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Wilderness and plains, treacherous battlefields. Those with ambition and shared goals can forge ahead without fear!
When the sky begins to lighten,
A layer of white had just appeared at the edge.
A camouflaged medical vehicle and a military vehicle wound their way along the road at the foot of the mountain! The sky was vast, and they sped towards the first light of dawn.
Halfway up the mountain,
Lu Jinye leaned against the car door, watching them until the rear of the car disappeared from his sight...
"Mr. Lu, are you really sending Miss Wen Ni?"
Behind him, Qin Yuan frowned with worry, muttering, "Once infected with mustard seed bacteria, even with an antidote, you'll still lose half your life!"
“Wen Ni is a drawn sword. If you want her to hide her sharpness and become mediocre, you will rust her blade, smooth her edges, and imprison her soul.”
Lu Jinye spoke softly, his brows furrowed, his sorrow and worry weighing heavily on his head like overlapping clouds.
He didn't want her to be in danger, but he had to let go because it was her responsibility and her belief!
Even if he were to perish and his bones were to turn to dust, all he would receive in return would be her words of no regrets and a willingness to accept it.
All he could do was give her his full support and protection.
"Let's go back."
There was still a lot of military work piling up waiting for him, which was a good way to numb himself.
"yes."
Qin Yuan agreed, opened the car door, and headed up the mountain.
Two completely opposite directions, yet both striving towards the same goal!
Wen Ni's medical team crossed the valley and drove along a flat road. Just as they were about to reach the vicinity of Hill 679, they were suddenly forced to stop!
"Who goes there! Get off the bus, everyone! Hands up!"
A wary shout came from outside the car; it was in Mandarin.
Wen Ni's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she lifted her hand from the holster, looking up at the opened carriage door.
