Chapter 265 Ruins Passage
"Liu Chengzhi, what happened?" In front of the medical team's bed, Lu Yunxian looked at Liu Chengzhi who was receiving treatment and asked.
The injuries on Liu Chengzhi's body were horrific. Thanks to the treatment of his companion pet with healing abilities, his life was saved, but the injuries on his body still required a longer period of treatment.
"Battalion Commander, quickly tell Adjutant An that Madam Lan is trapped in the ruins. Send someone to support her immediately, otherwise it will be too late." Liu Chengzhi said anxiously.
"Adjutant An entered the ancient ruins two days ago. Didn't you meet them?" Xu Wen said from the side.
Liu Chengzhi was stunned after hearing this and shook his head. "Adjutant An has already entered the ruins? Why didn't I see them? I escaped from the ruins and rushed back desperately, but I didn't see anyone."
"That's strange. Please explain clearly first. What happened to Mrs. Lan?" Lu Yunxian asked.
Liu Chengzhi quickly said, "We followed Madam Lan into the ancient battlefield and encountered many strange things. However, under Madam Lan's guidance, we arrived safely at the ruins where Mr. Ouyang and his team were conducting research. It had become extremely strange there, and many of our companion pets died there, having their heads chopped off. In the end, it was Madam Lan who came up with a solution and allowed us to enter the ruins safely."
Liu Chengzhi felt a little dry in the mouth due to excessive blood loss. He swallowed hard before continuing, "In the ruins, we found an entrance leading underground, and also discovered a mark left by Mr. Ouyang. At first, we used many companion pets to explore the way down, and there were no problems. But when Madam Lan led the others down, the entrance to the passage was unexpectedly sealed. The few of us who stayed outside tried every trick in the book, but we couldn't open the stone door."
"What happened next?" Xu Wen asked.
Liu Chengzhi panted for a few times and continued, "After more than three hours, the stone door at the entrance opened automatically, and Lao Qiu rushed out. At that time, Lao Qiu was covered in blood, and the color of his military uniform was almost invisible. He rushed out and handed me a strange stone tool. He said in a very urgent tone that the stone tool should be given to Adjutant An and asked Adjutant An to take people down to the ruins to rescue Madam Lan, otherwise it would be too late. He was too anxious at the time and spoke incoherently. He also said that the stone tool was the key to open a door and that the stone tool must be put back before the door could be opened to rescue Madam Lan. It must be quick, otherwise it would be too late. He said this back and forth several times, and the few of us who stayed behind couldn't get a word in. Just as we were about to ask something, Lao Qiu suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then he died."
"What about the stone tools?" Lu Yunxian asked.
Liu Chengzhi's face showed guilt. "Even people like Madam Lan and Old Qiu couldn't handle the situation in the stone tunnel, let alone us. After a discussion, we decided to bring the stone tool back to report the situation. However, the ancient battlefield was too terrifying. Several brothers died in the battle. I also barely escaped death. But on the way, the stone tool was swallowed by a dimensional creature with a dragon head and a lion's body. It's all my fault. I couldn't save the stone tool..."
"Do you still remember where that dimensional creature is?" Lu Yunxian asked after thinking for a while.
"I know the approximate location, but I don't know if that dimensional creature is still there." Liu Chengzhi said.
"Okay, Xu Wen, do your best to heal Liu Chengzhi's injuries. Everyone else, get ready and be on standby, ready to set off at any time." Lu Yunxian said.
"Captain Lu, since Adjutant An has already left, it would be useless for us to go in with so few people, right?" said a middle-aged officer.
Lu Yunxian said, "When Liu Chengzhi and the others returned, they didn't meet Adjutant An. So even if Adjutant An arrived at the ruins, he wouldn't know about the stone artifact's existence, let alone that it had been swallowed by a dimensional creature. We must retrieve the stone artifact and send it to him."
"We can't do anything big, but killing a dimensional creature shouldn't be difficult. What's more, we have Liu Chengzhi who is familiar with the situation here, so there shouldn't be any big problems. Let's get ready." Lu Yunxian said in an unquestionable tone.
Now Lu Yunxian has the highest official rank here. Since he has made the decision, no one questions it anymore. They all go back to make preparations and plan to enter the ancient battlefield.
Xu Wen also wanted to go, but was rejected by Lu Yunxian. Lu Yunxian asked her to stay and take good care of Zhou Wen and not let Zhou Wen get into any trouble.
"Battalion Commander, just let me go. My treatment skills can reduce a lot of casualties. Zhou Wen can just let the female soldiers of the medical team take care of him." Xu Wen pleaded again.
"You stay and take care of Zhou Wen. This is an order. If anything happens to Zhou Wen, you will be punished according to military regulations when you return. There will be no mercy." Lu Yunxian said firmly.
He said it lightly before, but he knew in his heart that the ancient battlefield was too dangerous and they would face many dangers on this trip. He did not want Xu Wen to take the risk.
Xu Wen opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She was a soldier and could only obey Lu Yunxian's orders, but she was very dissatisfied in her heart.
Zhou Wen was playing games in the room, but he was wearing his listening earrings, so he could hear everything around him clearly.
When Liu Chengzhi came back, the place was a bit far from where Zhou Wen lived, so Zhou Wen didn't hear it. However, when Lu Yunxian's people started to prepare to set off, he heard the noise.
When I walked out, I saw that Lu Yunxian and others had already got in the car and set off. The two jeeps in front and a large truck behind were driving out of the camp.
Zhou Wen realized what had happened. Seeing Xu Wen standing at the entrance to the camp, he walked over and asked, "Head Nurse Xu, what happened? What are Captain Lu and the others doing?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? They went to the ancient battlefield to rescue people. Do you dare to go? Go back and play your game." Xu Wen said unhappily.
Xu Wen believed that if it weren't for Zhou Wen, she wouldn't have been kept.
"Go to the ancient battlefield to rescue people? Who are they going to rescue? Ouyang Lan or An Sheng?" Zhou Wen was shocked and asked quickly.
"It's none of your business who we save." Xu Wen didn't want to say so much to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He knew how dangerous the ancient battlefield was, so the An family invited so many epic masters back from outside. However, if Captain Lu and those low-ranking officers went to the ancient battlefield, it would basically be the same as committing suicide.
"Head Nurse Xu, I think you don't know yet, but Ouyang Lan is actually my mother, right? I hope you can understand my feelings and tell me what happened." Zhou Wen had to say this when he saw that Xu Wen refused to tell him what happened.
"Who are you kidding? Madam Lan only has two children, the Governor-General and Miss Anjing. Are you the Governor-General? Or Miss Anjing?" Xu Wen said with a pout.
"You should know that Ouyang Lan remarried, right? I am the son of her remarried husband. Who am I to her?" Zhou Wen said.
Xu Wen stared at Zhou Wen blankly, somewhat unable to believe it.
