Chapter 177 The Professor Wakes Up
When the other teams came back one after another, Qiao Yu and his four companions had already set up the tent and moved Professor Kang and all the team members into the tent to rest.
After Qiao Yu and his group, the first to return were Zhuo Guang’s two groups.
When Baili Zhuo saw a tent set up next to Qiao Yu and his friends' RV, he walked over with some confusion and happened to bump into Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan who had just walked out of the tent.
"Captain Qiao, what are you doing...?"
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Captain Baili, the mission has been completed. We can return to the base tomorrow."
Baili Zhuo was stunned. "Mission completed?"
Then he glanced at the tent behind her in sudden realization, "Did you set off that red firework?"
Qiao Yu nodded and smiled again, "Yes. After the other teams come back, let's have a meeting to discuss the division of the mission rewards and returning to base."
Baili Zhuo nodded, "Okay, then you guys take a break first. I'll watch over the other teams first, and when everyone is gathered, I'll come and call you."
Those two fireworks were obviously set off in the Vulture's search area, but there was a gap of nearly an hour between them, and none of the Vultures had returned yet...
Baili Zhuo guessed that it was the Vulture Team who first discovered the trace of the mission target, and then the Pendulum Team brought people down the mountain.
As for the two team members who discovered the target... I'm afraid they are in great danger.
Baili Zhuo sighed softly. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with their team. It seemed that this mission would only get them some soup at best.
If you have a good relationship with the pendulum, you might be able to get more soup.
Qiao Yu was not polite and continued with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Captain Baili."
As soon as Baili Zhuo left, Yu Qingchuan walked out of the tent and approached Qiao Yu, whispering, "Is he trying to be nice to her?"
Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and shrugged, "After all, Professor Kang and the others are here with us now."
"Okay, Azhan and I will go back to the car and sit for a while. You can call us if there is anything." Qiao Yu stretched his wrist, took Jiang Zhan's arm and prepared to go back to the RV.
But before he could take a step, he heard Yu Qingchuan continue, "Hey, Professor Kang is awake, don't you want to go check on him?"
Qiao Yu was stunned, turned around and slapped Yu Qingchuan, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Then he turned around and hurriedly pulled Jiang Zhan back to the tent.
It’s not too late to say it now... Yu Qingchuan felt a little aggrieved, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud. He just curled his lips and followed the two into the tent.
Professor Kang had just woken up and his mind was still a little confused.
There was a camping lamp hanging in the tent, and the glaring light made Professor Kang squint uncomfortably.
“Teacher…Teacher…”
This voice is so familiar. It sounds like Xiaonian... Professor Kang narrowed his eyes and thought silently.
Is he dead?
"teacher……"
The male voice in his ear continued. Professor Kang closed his eyes slightly, moved his eyeballs, finally adapted to the light above his head, and slowly opened his eyes.
Professor Kang followed the sound, turned his head slightly, and saw Cheng Sinian lying on the bed at first sight.
"Xiao...Xiao Nian?"
His voice was intermittent, hoarse and weak, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Where is this... Am I... dead? Or... a dream?"
Cheng Sinian gently grasped Professor Kang's skinny hand, and with red eyes, he laughed and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about! You old man are so lucky!"
"You're alive and well, and it's not a dream. We've already brought you out of the cave..."
Professor Kang was stunned for a moment, seemingly still unresponsive. But soon, his eyes widened, he gripped Cheng Sinian's hand tightly, and anxiously said, "Yes... sample... sample!"
"The sample is here! The sample is here! Don't get excited..." Cheng Sinian was startled by his sudden emotion. He whispered to comfort him and gestured for Luo Zhenzhen to quickly bring the red crystal over. "Look... the sample is still here..."
It was not until he saw the red crystal with his own eyes that Professor Kang breathed a sigh of relief and then relaxed and calmed down again.
But after being silent for a while, Professor Kang suddenly seemed to react, and looked at Cheng Sinian with wide eyes again, with his hand raised tremblingly, as if he wanted to touch Cheng Sinian's face.
"Xiao Nian...it's Xiao Nian...it's really...you..."
Cheng Sinian leaned over and pressed Professor Kang's hand against the side of his face. Seeing Professor Kang's sunken cheeks and his obviously slow reaction, he could no longer hold back his tears, and they fell down in a crackling sound. "It's me... Teacher, it really is me..."
Two lines of clear tears also dripped from the corners of Professor Kang's eyes, and then the tears kept flowing.
His voice was choked with sobs, and his tone was as aggrieved as a helpless child. "The army went to your hospital... but couldn't find you... or your apartment... I thought... I lost you too..."
"No, teacher..." Cheng Sinian held Professor Kang's hand tightly and rubbed it on his face. "I'm fine... Look, I'm fine..."
"Okay..." Professor Kang touched Cheng Sinian's face and nodded with relief after a long while. "I'm glad you're okay... I'm glad you're okay..."
Luo Zhenzhen sat beside him and quietly wiped away her tears. Seeing Professor Kang's heavy and slightly rapid breathing, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she gently advised: "Anian, the professor just woke up and is still very weak. Feed him something first..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian hurriedly wiped away his tears, "Yes, yes... I need to replenish my strength as soon as possible..."
The folding bed provided by Qiao Yu has a low guardrail on top.
Cheng Sinian carefully supported Professor Kang's neck with his hands and lifted him up with a slight force. Luo Zhenzhen took the opportunity to stand a pillow upright and place it on the guardrail. Together, they helped Professor Kang half-lean on the pillow.
"Teacher, have some porridge..." Cheng Sinian turned his back, took out a bowl of porridge from the space while concealing it, then scooped a small spoonful, blew it cool, and then brought it to Professor Kang's mouth.
Professor Kang looked at the white rice porridge, and the fragrant aroma made him swallow his saliva. But when Cheng Sinian brought it to him, he turned his head away slightly, "No... I'll just eat some... tree bark..."
Cheng Sinian's nose felt sore again when he heard this, but he fought back his tears. He firmly used a spoon to slightly pry open Professor Kang's mouth and said in a stern tone, "Why are you eating tree bark? Just eat the porridge I told you to! We don't need your food!"
Professor Kang was already very weak, so Cheng Sinian fed him the porridge without much effort.
Professor Kang was about to continue refusing, but he heard Cheng Sinian's vicious threat: "If you don't eat well, I will starve with you! And I will confiscate your samples!"
He was so scared that he quickly opened his mouth and swallowed a big mouthful of porridge.
