Lu Yuan then got up, fetched some water, washed his face briefly, and began discussing his strategy for tonight with his family.
That evening, he continued his transaction with the woman as before, but this time he brought several children with him.
This was unexpected for Lu Yuan. With so many people, there was strength, and the women took away even more bananas. Lu Yuan felt a headache coming on. What if this woman continued to take advantage of them? What would they do then?
Thinking of those women happily leaving with their children, Lu Yuan felt that their idea might have gone wrong again.
But there's nothing they can do; they still have to do what needs to be done. So far, their attempts to leave this place have had almost no positive effect.
That evening, Hanmen learned through wiretapping that the military personnel trapped on the other side had suffered another large-scale casualty incident.
Because they are facing extreme shortages of medicine and food, they have begun to try to find a way to break out of their predicament.
However, the apes clearly had no intention of letting them leave so easily. After a day of fierce fighting, the military suffered dozens of deaths and was driven back once again.
Lu Yuan's expression remained calm upon hearing the news. He had already guessed this, but he hadn't expected the military to be so short of supplies.
"Arrogance is a recipe for defeat," an ancient proverb, which I never expected to apply here as well.
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.
When he went to the banana grove that evening, he sensed something was wrong as soon as he arrived.
He smelled a strong, metallic scent of blood in the banana grove, unlike the bloody smell mixed with gunpowder during the day. This blood smell was freshly drawn.
"Wait a minute, don't go yet. There might be danger ahead. Everyone, please be careful."
Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, the family members scrambled to find safe places to hide, while Lu Yuan took out his binoculars and began observing the ground in the distance.
As his vision gradually moved forward, Lu Yuan suddenly saw a patch of blood on the ground.
As he continued searching along the trail of blood, he discovered several injured apes lying on the ground.
Their bodies were riddled with wounds, and they looked like they were on the verge of death, while in the middle, an ape-woman draped in leaves was crying incessantly.
"Why did he come? And he brought several wounded people with him."
A look of shock appeared on Lu Yuan's face, and everyone picked up their binoculars to observe the distance.
Several apes lay on the ground, barely alive. Judging from their wounds, they must have been involved in the daytime battle.
"What should we do? Should we still go?"
After reading it, Zhou Zhong's face turned serious. If they went now, the apes would definitely remember the war during the day and might mistake them for assassins.
But after Lu Yuan finished reading, he realized that the female ape was crying and looking around, as if she was waiting for someone.
An idea immediately popped into Lu Yuan's mind.
"I know, he's waiting for us."
"What? You're saying he's waiting for us? Really?"
Lu Yuan pointed to the female ape-like woman wearing an IV drip: "Look, she glanced down at the injured person, then looked up and peered into the forest. She's definitely looking for us."
Xiao Shan followed the direction Lu Yuan was pointing and observed the people's expressions. Sure enough, their faces were filled with anxiety.
As the ape-like aura on the ground was about to disappear, the grief on his face deepened.
"He's probably waiting for us to bring him medicine. He should be able to guess that we have medicine here."
"Let's go take a look."
So Lu Yuan made a quick decision and led everyone to head in a distant direction.
When they arrived at the location, the female ape saw Lu Yuan and his group emerge from the forest and immediately ran over like a madwoman.
Because his vision wasn't very good, he couldn't see clearly which of the people in front of him was Chen Yan, since only Chen Yan could communicate with him normally.
"I'll do it."
The day before yesterday, I took a completely different step and then discussed it carefully with the other party.
The female ape, her face contorted with emotion, pulled Chen Yan to the front of another ape, bowing her head and weeping incessantly while pointing at his wounds. Her meaning was crystal clear, even to those standing at a distance.
“He really needs the medicine, let’s go see him.”
The team's doctor was Du Heng and his wife. The two quickly went to the ape that was on the verge of death, checked its heartbeat and wounds, and after confirming that it was alive, Lu Yuan nodded.
"The injury is very dangerous. We need to get some anti-inflammatory drugs as soon as possible, otherwise there is a high risk of complications, and a blood transfusion will be necessary."
Lu Yuan nodded after listening. "Okay, just tell me what you need, and I'll provide it for them."
"I need to have my blood drawn. So I need a blood pressure monitor and a microscope light for the IV tubing, IV bags, and other equipment."
As Lu Yuan rummaged through the woman's belongings, the ape-like woman lay beside him, crying incessantly.
Then Chen Yan gently took her hand and expressed her intention to have her blood drawn.
The female ape nodded vigorously, and then began to chatter away to the other apes beside her.
Upon hearing this, the apes nearby were initially taken aback, their eyes showing a hint of wariness. However, after the other party explained further, they obediently squatted down in front of them.
