“Yes, Captain Shen, after all, we are on the front line now, and we brothers are counting on you and Captain Xie.”
"You two have barely had any rest these past few days. Your bodies won't be able to handle this!"
It's no wonder they are anxious. Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi have been working tirelessly these days, bringing people to keep an eye on things every day, and only taking a nap when they are too sleepy.
Such overload operation is worrying.
Shen Huaizhi shook his head at them.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"Everyone, keep your eyes on us. As soon as you receive the signal from Captain Xie, we will immediately take action."
Since Shen Huaizhi said so, the others had no choice but to agree.
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot was suddenly heard in the distance.
"Bang--"
In the deep mountains and dense forests, the sound made the birds on the branches scatter and flee.
Shen Huaizhi's expression suddenly changed, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the string in his head immediately tightened.
With a gesture, everyone immediately followed him.
I don’t know if he sensed it or not, but almost at the same time, Ji Qingzhou suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Shen Yunqing took the medicine and went to bed early. Ji Qingzhou and Ji Qingwan were about to return to their room after taking care of her.
Ji Qingzhou suddenly leaned against the wall, covered his chest, and breathed heavily, which scared Ji Qingwan, who was yawning, awake.
"Qingzhou, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
She hurried over and asked while letting her sister lean on her to rest.
Ji Qingzhou also felt strange: "I don't know why, but I suddenly felt chest tightness."
Ji Qingwan frowned: "Is this a normal reaction to pregnancy? Should we go to the hospital?"
Ji Qingzhou was afraid that she would worry, so he shook his head.
"It's nothing serious. I'm much better now."
Although she didn't know why she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
Ji Qingwan confirmed again and again that Ji Qingzhou was fine, then sent her back to her room, and then left, looking back every few steps.
As soon as Ji Qingwan left, Ji Qingzhou immediately took out a cup of spiritual spring water.
After drinking it, I lay down and felt better.
She turned her head to look at the night sky outside the window, especially the moonlight, which inexplicably reminded her of what she saw in the border tent that night not long ago.
The feeling of chest tightness was relieved, but Ji Qingzhou felt more and more uneasy.
She closed her eyes, trying to control her chaotic emotions, and touched her slightly bulging belly somewhat helplessly.
"Baby, your dad will definitely come back safely, right?"
Her response was silence.
foreign.
The dim moonlight passed through the palm-sized window in the study, dimly pouring into the room, barely illuminating the two exhausted figures on the ground.
Shen Nianxian and his wife were tortured by large doses of drugs and deprived of water for five days.
We have survived until today by relying on the rotten fruits and compressed biscuits maliciously thrown by the ugly soldiers.
The severe side effects of the injection, the long-term hunger, and the almost constant physical torture made them paralyzed and almost unable to move.
The ugly people are still torturing them mentally.
"ah--"
They were tortured for five days, and the screams from next door could be heard for five days.
In front of them, a soldier kicked them impatiently.
"I wonder how you could be so tough? Is it worth it to endure so much pain for your so-called beliefs?"
The two remained silent.
The soldier scratched his hair irritably, hit them hard with the chain, and his tone suddenly became higher and more threatening.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you going to tell me or not?"
Shen Nian first gritted his teeth, but still shook his head.
The soldier was so angry that he started cursing wildly.
"Okay, don't tell me!"
"Don't you Chinese people value unity and mutual love the most? You yourselves are not afraid of death, so do you want to guess whether those people next door are afraid or not?"
Shen Nianxian and the other two suddenly opened their eyes and looked over.
The soldier showed a bloodthirsty and sinister smile, dragged the chain, turned around and went to the next room.
Shen Nianxian and the other two had no time to stop it.
They could clearly hear the voices of those unyielding scoldings, ranging from passionate and loud to completely hoarse.
Shen Nianxian could imagine from that extremely hoarse voice how desperate and painful they were.
However, this continuous torture came to an abrupt end after the curse of "bastard".
Time passes by every second.
For nearly half an hour, there was deathly silence all around.
Meng Lanting’s heart tightened, and he squeezed Shen Nianxian’s hand vigorously.
"them……"
Shen Nian knew what his wife wanted to say first.
She was afraid that her fellow countryman next door was tortured to death.
Shen Nianxian's eyelashes trembled twice, and hot tears welled up in his eyes.
His voice trembled slightly as he tried to comfort her: "No, no..."
But having said that, they couldn't help but think of the worst outcome.
Did those compatriots really die tragically in this foreign country because of them?
They have let down their compatriots, it's all their fault...
Both of them felt guilty and grief-stricken.
My heart was so affected that it beat faster.
It beats again and again, as if it's going to jump out of my chest.
They couldn't tell whether this was a side effect of the drug injection or because they hadn't rested for too long. They only knew that their eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and a feeling of fatigue was overwhelming them.
Shen Nianxian used all his strength to hold his wife's hand tightly.
"Lan...Lanting, I'm so thirsty and tired. I want to sleep..."
Meng Lanting was in despair.
She knew very well that they were exhausted and there was a high possibility that they would never wake up again after falling asleep.
Meng Lanting became a little more sober, turned her head and kept talking to her husband.
"Nianxian, don't sleep. We haven't brought back the research results yet..."
Seeing her husband's eyelids getting heavier and heavier, Meng Lanting held on, gritted her teeth, and slowly raised her weak hands to her mouth.
With a determined heart, she bit her finger and let the blood drip into her mouth.
This way I can at least hold on a little longer.
After sucking a few times, she moved her fingers little by little towards Shen Nianxian's lips.
"Nianxian, drink it and hold on."
Shen Nianxian rolled his eyes slowly, relying on his faith and the last bit of clarity to open his cracked lips.
"We must... go back..."
Drops of blood slid into their mouths and soaked their throats. The bloody smell allowed them to barely recover a bit.
But it's just a few strands.
After not drinking water for a long time, the throat and nasal cavity become extremely dry.
Even every breath, when the air scrapes through the nasal cavity and throat, brings a sharp pain like a knife.
They are suffering every minute and every second of their lives.
The strength that I had gathered with great difficulty was dissipating bit by bit.
Shen Nianxian looked at the ceiling, as if looking at his own dwindling life.
"At least, we kept our research results until the end..."
They made it to the end of their lives, and at least they didn't let the beliefs they had always held on become a joke.
It’s just a pity that although the ugly Chinese didn’t get these research results, they also couldn’t pass them back to their homeland.
