She actually won the bet, and it was hard not to be proud of herself.
Zhao Xian pulled up the tube of the night vision goggles, his brows relaxed, and he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her eye, then frowned again: "Are you hurt?"
Qiao Xuejun's ears were buzzing. She didn't hear what Zhao Xian said. She only saw his chest heaving and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead.
When she just opened her eyes, Zhao Xian was running towards her at a very fast speed, and he was in front of her in a flash.
He looked very tired from running, and his heavy breathing could be seen even through the mask covering his mouth and nose.
She could vaguely see Zhao Xian speaking under the mask, but she couldn't hear what he was saying.
The smile on her face faded slightly, and she reached out to grab Zhao Xian's mask. With a gentle pull, the mask was pulled to his chin.
Qiao Xuejun asked, "Why are you running so fast? Didn't Deputy Wu tell you? I've already taken care of it. Nothing happened. I just sprained my ankle, but I'm not injured."
Qiao Xuejun tilted her head and looked at him: "How about it, Lord Zhao, speak up."
Qiao Xuejun urged him: "Am I super strong?"
Zhao Xian couldn't help but admit it. He nodded, and his anxiety and restlessness were almost calmed down: "Yes, super strong."
This time, Qiao Xuejun saw Zhao Xian's lips moving, and from his lip shapes he seemed to admit that she was strong, but she still didn't hear a word.
Something doesn't seem right.
Qiao Xuejun asked tentatively: "Zhao Xian?"
Zhao Xian responded and said something. From his lip movements, it seemed that he was asking her if she was injured anywhere else.
Qiao Xuejun shook her head.
She couldn’t hear anything, neither her own voice nor Zhao Xian’s voice.
Qiao Xuejun couldn't laugh anymore. She covered her ears with her hands, rubbed them, and then tilted her head to pat them.
Zhao Xian grabbed her hand: "What?"
Qiao Xuejun hesitated: "Zhao Xian, I seem to be deaf."
Being too proud of oneself will lead to sorrow.
She thought it was just the frequent gunfire that caused the reception to be a little fuzzy. It was like this before. Her hearing would be affected a little after hearing the gunfire, but she would recover after five or six minutes.
But she now found that the deafness at this moment felt different from the previous ones. Now it was like a vacuum plastic bag was put on her head, isolating her from the world, and she could not hear any sound except the buzzing of her own head.
Zhao Xian's face became even worse, and he shouted something. Soon, Qiao Xuejun saw a group of people running up from the bottom of the mountain and running towards this side.
It’s Military Doctor Zheng.
"Lord. What's the situation with Teacher Qiao now?"
Doctor Zheng also squatted down, immediately put down the medical box on his back, opened the box, and prepared to take out some hemostatic bandages.
Teacher Qiao looked covered in blood.
Zhao Xian repeated with a straight face: "She said she couldn't hear anything... and she sprained her ankle."
Doctor Zheng paused and looked up at Qiao Xuejun: "Can't hear? Teacher Qiao, can't you hear at all? Or can't you hear clearly?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head and understood what Dr. Zheng said: "I can't hear you."
Zhao Xian frowned: "The sonic attack of the lantern fish."
Doctor Zheng: "Did Xiao Wei also get hurt during the previous mission? He will be fine in a few days."
Zhao Xian: "Yes. Please check carefully to see if there are any other problems."
Doctor Zheng: "Okay. Let me check Teacher Qiao's foot first. Which side is it?"
Qiao Xuejun pointed.
Doctor Zheng carefully rolled up Qiao Xuejun's trouser legs and examined her ankle, which was red and swollen.
Zhao Xian watched from the side, frowning the whole time, looking reluctant: "What's going on?"
Doctor Zheng pressed in different places again to see Qiao Xuejun's reaction.
After pressing for a while, he asked again: "Teacher Qiao, are you completely unable to walk? If you are completely unable to move, you should consider a fracture. When you sprained your ankle, did you hear a tearing sound?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head.
"It looks like the foot is inverted. A fracture is considered, but we cannot rule out the possibility that Mr. Qiao is exhausted and cannot walk."
Doctor Zheng said, "Take Teacher Qiao back first and let him rest well before observing him. Apply ice to his feet now."
Zhao Xian said nothing, and directly reached out to pick up Qiao Xuejun who was leaning against a large rock. He whispered, "Let's go back."
Qiao Xuejun was not used to being held up with her feet off the ground, which made her feel insecure.
This seemed to be the third time that Zhao Xian picked her up, but the first two times she still had the strength to struggle, but this time she really had no strength.
She couldn't leave on her own.
Qiao Xuejun lay down: "Thank you, Lord."
"Shanying, take a few people with you to deal with the carcass of the lantern fish together with Haifan and his men. Leave the bones behind. The others, follow me up the mountain."
After giving the instructions, Zhao Xian started to leave.
Zhao Xian walked in front at a very fast speed, and the others followed behind.
Doctor Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the person in front of him, caught up with him, and wanted to ask more details about the patient's condition.
When he walked closer, he saw that Qiao Xuejun had her eyes closed, leaning quietly in Zhao Xian's arms, her brows relaxed, and she was resting.
Doctor Zheng did not wake her up, thinking that she could not hear him anyway, and sighed: "It is really not easy for Teacher Qiao. It is so hard in the middle of the night."
Doctor Zheng turned around and looked at the lantern fish lying there being chopped into pieces: "Such a large mutant, the patrol team had to work hard to deal with it. Teacher Qiao actually solved it before the patrol team arrived."
Zhao Xian also looked down at the frail person in his arms and whispered, "She loves her experimental field."
“And believe in the purple flowers she planted.”
Doctor Zheng's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "This purple flower is great. It can poison such a big fish. If we can extract the toxin, won't it be invincible?"
