He was really panicking!
Others didn't know the details of the Liu and Gu families, but as a general trained by the Xia Kingdom, he knew them very well. The Gu family had made great contributions to the Xia Kingdom, and Liu Lao had been the think tank of the Xia Kingdom and trained several generals for the Xia Kingdom...
Can he say that, in a sense, he is Mr. Liu's disciple?
He doesn't dare!
In front of those two meritorious elders, he could only insist on seeing her!
Her wish...
It is his only confidence!
But if she doesn't want to...
Xie Zhenting held Gu Nanzhi's hand and couldn't help but tighten it.
If she doesn't want to...
What should he do?
"you……"
Gu Nanzhi's hand was a little painful when he grabbed it. She struggled again, but failed to break free. She was so angry that she swung her hand and hit him: "So you think you are right? Do you know that if you were a step later, I would have ordered the artillery to open fire? By then, all your forces and people will be blown to ashes by me!"
"You destroyed Xia's established power in the war zone of the rainforest. Xie Zhenting, you almost made me a sinner of Xia!"
The more he talked, the angrier Gu Nanzhi became. She waved her hand and smashed it on him, taking his hand with hers. "Do you know how much pressure it is to shoulder the fate of a country and countless lives? Do you know how scared I was when I was followed all the way?"
"I am not you. I don't have your mental strength! I am afraid of disappointing the country's high hopes and harming those who follow me!"
"I'm really scared..."
“…”
Gu Nanzhi really knows the dangers of the rainforest!
However, faced with danger and national opportunities, neither she nor Xia Guo had a choice!
No one knew that she was pretending to be calm along the way, and no one knew that if possible, she really just wanted to bury herself in the laboratory and be a scientific researcher who didn't care about anything else!
But……
This is what her motherland looks like now!
Poverty, scarcity of resources...
What can she do?
If she doesn't come out, her motherland will be like the history in her memory, struggling in hardship for decades...
Decades!
Almost an era!
The hard work of several generations!
How could she bear to do that?
She can't bear to do it!
But she is really just a scientific researcher. She is not a soldier or a god of war. She rushed to the rainforest with courage and the determination to die!
She had prepared for the worst, even though...
Even if she couldn't leave the rainforest alive, she would drive a nail into the heart of Xia Kingdom in the war-torn zone in the rainforest!
For this, she even made the plan of fighting to the death!
She had never told anyone that there were extinction weapons in her space!
According to her original plan, if she and the people she brought with her could not get out of the rain forest and could not bring back what Xia Country needed, then...
Things in this rain forest must never leak out again!
Even if this will restrict global development!
But as long as Western forces can no longer crush her motherland with technology, as long as her motherland is not strangled, humiliated and trampled by others, she is willing to be the most evil person and let this rainforest become a dead place completely...
But……
Xie Zhenting is here!
He told her that they had people, power, and territory in the rainforest...
Everything was much better than she expected!
Really much more!
The Dalong Mercenary Group is very strong!
It is the undisputed overlord of the rainforest!
With the Dalong Mercenary Group, she no longer had to worry about where the exploration team would stay, nor did she have to worry about being targeted and besieged by various forces. What's more...
With Xie Zhenting around, she doesn't have to worry about anything in the future!
She just needs to find the mineral veins and identify the resources...
"It's my fault! It's all my fault!"
Xie Zhenting let her beat him to vent his anger, and then...
He tentatively exerted force and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here! Leave everything else to me, just do what you want to do. No matter where you want to go, I will clear the way for you. The rain forest may be purgatory for others, but for you... it can be a pure land!"
Gu Nanzhi rested her head on Xie Zhenting's shoulder, listening to his strong heartbeat and his promise, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously...
After a long while, he curled his lips and said, "You speak as if the only danger in the rain forest is war! You can help me clear out the enemies, but can you help me eliminate the danger of the rain forest itself?"
Xie Zhenting heard: "!!!"
The handsome face froze.
"this……"
After a moment of hesitation, Xie Zhenting lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms who was slightly looking up. He said awkwardly, "I really can't! But on the way here, I have written down all the dangerous terrain, landforms, animals and plants in the rainforest that I know about!"
As he said that, Xie Zhenting pushed Gu Nanzhi away and reached into his arms.
Gu Nanzhi who was pushed away: "..."
Looking at Xie Zhenting who suddenly became serious in front of him, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Then……
She saw Xie Zhenting take out a thick notebook from his arms.
"This is what I sorted out. Remember to take a look at it when you have time. If possible, let everyone circulate it. The things on it... must not be touched!"
Speaking of the potential dangers of the rainforest, Xie Zhenting's expression was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Nanzhi, although you moved the operating room into the rainforest, I want to tell you that the real killer of the rainforest is never the war! It's the rainforest itself!"
"Every flower, grass, insect or ant here can kill someone in an instant!"
"If you're shot or injured, you might be able to be saved, but if you touch something you shouldn't touch, you'll die in the rain forest!"
While listening, Gu Nanzhi flipped through the notebook given by Xie Zhenting.
Some of the things recorded in the book had been seen in later generations' animal and plant atlases, but some were not recorded even in the most complete animal and plant atlases of later generations...
But the more unrecorded things are, the more deadly they are!
"One breath...one breath is fatal. What does that mean?"
Gu Nanzhi pointed to a place recorded by Xie Zhenting and asked with a frown.
"One breath is the time it takes you to take a breath!"
Xie Zhenting pointed to the picture on it and said, "This is a rainforest cobra, a land snake that is unique to the deep rainforest. It crawls on the branches of bushes and moves very fast. The natives of the rainforest call it a cobra. One of my comrades was once bitten by it..."
"One breath! It was really only one breath! Almost at the moment when I noticed his strangeness and turned my head, he fell to the ground and stopped breathing!"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "!!!"
His expression couldn't help but shudder.
I flipped through a few more pages and discovered that everything Xie Zhenting had recorded was indeed full of deadly dangers!
And the fatal time is either a breath or a few seconds...
this……
Gu Nanzhi secretly clenched the notebook in her hand. Facing Xie Zhenting's solemn expression, she didn't dare to tell him that, in fact...
One of the purposes of her trip was those poisons...
Those poisons containing neurotoxins or other toxins can be instantly fatal!
Gu Nanzhi remained silent. Xie Zhenting thought she was frightened. He reached out and rubbed her hair. He said, "It's okay. No matter where you go, I will bring people to clear the way for you. Now, let's talk business!"
Gu Nanzhi looked up blankly: "Hmm?"
"The forces of Country Y in the rain forest are following Ah Hu and his men and trying to ambush us. There are several hundred of them. There are not so many of them outside the rain forest. Those people should be from the headquarters of Country Y in the war zone!"
Xie Zhenting looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Since the troops from the base camp have been dispatched, Country Y must be planning something big! I'm worried about our base in Mount Gelu..."
