2558 The Price Of Pain

His voice was young and calm. When he asked the question in a low voice, it made people feel safe.

The scientists felt at ease when they heard the soldiers who risked their lives to rescue them speak Chinese and tell them that they were here on the orders of the country.

They were relieved.

This was the sense of security that soldiers gave them. With them around, it felt as if everything and any danger would turn into paper tigers in front of them.

!! “We’re fine, comrade. But hurry up and take a look at Old Fu. He’s injured. Hurry up and take a look at him.” A geologist immediately said, “The wound is under his ribs. Hurry up and treat it.”

Facing his future father-in-law, Xia Jinyuan couldn’t help but lower his voice. “Chief Engineer Fu, let me treat your wound first. It’s too deep. If you don’t get it treated in time, it might get infected.”

Ye Jian, who was leaning against the wall on guard, blinked slightly when she heard that. She didn’t turn around and stared intently at the darkness in front of her.

“There’s not much of a problem on my side, but I can confirm that it’s infected. If there’s enough time, I’ll accept the treatment.” Fu Yusheng was a soldier too. He knew that the situation was serious and time was tight. If everyone’s time was delayed because of his injury, he would rather not seek treatment.

“We won’t be delayed. It’s just a simple disinfection.” Xia Jinyuan had already opened the sanitary bag he carried with him.

Then, he heard his future father-in-law ask, “I had a guard with me. He was being held separately from me. Did you rescue him when you came here tonight?”

…

Xia Jinyuan turned on the miniature flashlight in his hand and turned the light to the lowest level. He stuffed the flashlight into Lin Feng’s hand and pursed his lips as he replied, “We weren’t able to rescue him when we found him. After we send you to the plane, we’ll return to the place where he was locked up. We’ll definitely save him.”

Chief Engineer Fu’s hands trembled as he unbuttoned his clothes. He raised his head and looked at the soldier who was talking to him quietly. The light from the flashlight was too weak. It was so weak that he couldn’t see the face of the soldier who was talking to him clearly. He could only hear the tenseness in his voice.

It was this tension that made his heart sink.

“Was he already dead when you found him? That’s why you couldn’t save him, right?” There was sorrow in the chief engineer’s voice.

Xia Jinyuan couldn’t bear to answer. He just nodded lightly. “Lie down first. I’ll disinfect your wound with alcohol.” As long as there was a chance of saving him, none of them would have given up.

But… there was no chance at all. When Azure Bird left, the guard smiled and closed his eyes forever.

He knew that his responsibility had been fulfilled. He waited for his country’s people to come and take over his last responsibility… He used his remaining strength and weak vitality to complete his task.

Hence, when he closed his eyes, the young guard had a faint smile on his face.

After completing his mission, he could finally leave in peace.

“He was only… 24 years old. He was a good young man. He hadn’t gotten married… But he’s gone just like that.” Chief Engineer Fu closed his eyes. Even though the alcohol stimulated his wound, it didn’t suppress the sorrow on his face.

Xia Jinyuan’s pupils constricted when she saw his badly mutilated wound.

Lin Feng, who was holding a flashlight, couldn’t control himself when he saw the wound. He gasped.

“W-What… How did you get hurt?” He was stuttering. It was too scary. The flesh was badly mutilated, and the wound wasn’t smooth at all!
