When the waiter in a tuxedo pushed open the carved wooden door for him, Yan Zheng was sure that he was dreaming. The waiter saluted him respectfully, and Yan Zheng nodded slightly in response. When he stepped into the banquet hall, what he saw was A wide space with elegant and retro palace-style tables and chairs. Pink carnations are placed on the table. The intricately shaped crystal chandeliers on the ceiling reflect a dreamlike light from every angle, leading to the second floor. The stairs are covered with red carpets, and brass vases are placed on both sides. It exudes luxury everywhere. The band on the stage is playing melodious music, and the dancers are dancing like swans.
The first and second floors were full of people attending the cocktail party. The well-dressed gentlemen enjoyed handmade cigars and talked about the recent changes in economic policies. The ladies, wearing heavy makeup, greeted each other eagerly and showed off the latest jewelry. , Yan Zheng was not a member of their circle, so he did not go over. Instead, he picked up a glass of red wine and leaned against the railing on the second floor to sip.
"Are you satisfied with my new hotel, old classmate?" A charming voice suddenly sounded, causing Yan Zheng to look sideways.
At some point, a young woman walked up to him. The young woman's delicate body was wrapped in a long aqua dress. Her waist was deliberately tightened to highlight her proud curves. She looked at Yan Zheng's face. His eyes were full of affection, and for a moment Yan Zheng had the illusion that the beautiful woman was affectionate. But soon he recognized the person, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "When I received the invitation, I thought it was for a gift." Wrong, why would the largest hotel in the city hire a nobody like me when it opens, but it turns out it’s you.”
The young woman smiled and said, "Didn't I just say it when we were chatting in high school? I hope to be a boss lady in the future, and I'll invite you all to live here. Look, I'm here to fulfill my promise now, right?"
"It's rare that you still remember us old classmates. It is said that this hotel was undertaken by our design institute. Maybe there are several places where I drew the drawings." Yan Zheng also smiled. When he reunited with his old classmates after many years, his face was filled with smiles. Unconcealable joy.
"When the reception is over, I will take you to the guest room to see. Maybe there are areas that need improvement." The young woman stared at Yan Zheng closely with her emerald green eyes, "But now, you should go back."
"Okay, after all, I designed the guest room, and I will help you for free..." Hearing the second half of the young woman's words, the smile on Yan Zheng's face froze, "What did you just say? I didn't understand."
"I said, you should go back, old classmate." The young woman suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Yan Zheng. Before Yan Zheng could react, he fell from the railing.
The sound of wind in his ears woke Yan Zheng from his sleep. It seemed that everything just now was just a dream. He opened his eyes and felt a little dazed for a moment. He didn't know where he was. The pain from all over his body woke him up. In his memory, not long ago, his team carried out a tracking mission. However, after finding the target, they accidentally ran into a strange summoning ceremony and witnessed the arrival of a certain creature. Later, the team was besieged by crazy believers. He fought bloody battles, killed a large number of believers, and tried his best to injure powerful warriors. However, he was also seriously injured. After getting rid of Taichang who knew his identity, he was parasitized by the mysterious flame, and was finally supported and killed. All those who came were rescued by passers-by.
Yan Zheng wanted to sit up, but when he made a slight movement, the unhealed wounds all over his body began to hurt. Hongsha Bodhi's strength was too much, and it seemed that he would not be able to fully recover in a short time. Yan Zheng turned his head and looked at Looking at the scenery passing by and looking at some familiar shapes under him, he suddenly realized that he was now lying on Lin Xiaotian's magic gourd.
Seeing Yan Zheng wake up, Lin Xiaotian said: "You are lucky enough to survive such a serious injury. When they found you before, they were afraid that you wouldn't be able to survive until the doctor arrived, but you are really energetic. I held on until the doctor arrived and passed out. After taking the Chunliu Dan, you should be fine now. I hope everything goes well and you may come back alive."
"Excuse me, monks. I'm just an ordinary soldier. I should have sacrificed my life for the country, but I spent such a precious elixir. It's really not worth it." Yan Zheng said with a bitter smile, but he didn't expect it. Du Tong did not hesitate to use this healing medicine on him. If Du Tong knew that he was carrying a magical object such as the red gauze bodhi, I am afraid he would be so angry that he would curse.
Lin Xiaotian waved his hand, "Of course there is a reason for Dutong to use Chunliu Pill on you. Our encounter this time was very strange, and the identities of the believers are unknown. You are the only one who participated in the tracking operation from beginning to end, so you can count. The only person who understands the situation, Du Tong certainly doesn’t want you to die.”
Yan Zheng suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "Brother, where are the other people in the team? Are there any other survivors except me?"
"There are others who survived, but his current state obviously makes it impossible for him to tell us what happened." Lin Xiaotian said and pointed to the two people flying next to them with a magic scroll. Behind the unfolded magic scroll, there was a There was a person lying down like Yan Zheng, but that person was tied up with ropes. His eyes were severely bloodshot, with a ferocious smile on his face, and he kept making hysterical roars. Even if his throat was hoarse, he didn't stop. When Yan Zheng saw clearly His face made me shocked. That person was none other than Commander Ji who was leading the team!
Although Chief Ji survived, looking at his current performance, he was obviously completely crazy. Yan Zheng recalled the scene at that time. Originally, Chief Ji and the others were still calmly carrying out defense and counterattack, but when they were soaked by the purple rain, After that, they suddenly became as crazy and immersed in killing as those believers, but it is not important to explore why they became like this now. Wu Chang Ji cannot survive in the Netherland in such a state, I am afraid. It would be better to die early.
After nightfall, the commander ordered the monks to stop and rest. After all, they were very tired from flying the magic weapon continuously. Everyone gathered together to sit cross-legged and adjust their breath, using the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the secluded realm to restore their magic power. They continued to set off when dawn was approaching. Yan Zheng felt that he was still very exhausted mentally and physically, and would not be able to fully recover for a while. Moreover, it was safe enough to be protected by these monks, so he relaxed and allowed his body to recover faster through sleep.
When the monks stopped again, it was already approaching the morning of the next day. Yan Zheng woke up. He roughly estimated the time and then understood why it took them so long to arrive after receiving the signal. , it probably only took the team less than a day to catch up with the hunter, but after entering the dense forest, they came to a completely different place, and that place was much further away from where they were before entering the dense forest, so the team could see It seemed that they just got into the dense forest, but actually they were teleported to another place in the secluded realm, which made it difficult for Dutong and the others to reach it in a short time.
Under the leadership of General Yang, the large army had arrived at the destination first and set up a camp. All kinds of materials on the baggage convoy were neatly placed in the camp and guarded by the rearguard soldiers. The Luo family's The carriage is located in the center of the camp, parked around an open space. The vanguard's tent is set up around the Luo family's carriage. It seems that it is also guarding something. The Luo family's followers are carefully leveling the open space and placing all the tents on it. The vegetation was all cleaned up, and even the roots buried underground were dug out. Yan Zheng didn't know what they were doing. He guessed that this might be the task that the Luo family wanted to complete this time.
Lin Xiaotian put away the magic gourd and called to the surrounding soldiers to come quickly. The injured Yan Zheng was carried on a stretcher and sent to the tent where the doctors were. The crazy Wu Chang Ji was in very unstable condition, so the soldiers had to beat him. He fainted, and after asking a doctor to simply treat the wound, he was imprisoned.
Yan Zheng, who was sent to the tent, was naturally handed over to the care of the little doctor. Looking at Yan Zheng's scarred body, the little doctor couldn't help but have red eyes. Along the way, Yan Zheng was not the only one who fought desperately to protect her. , in the process of the large army arriving at the destination, several more soldiers died to protect the remaining doctors. Now seeing that Yan Zheng was so seriously injured, she was filled with worry. The environment in the secluded realm was harsh and there was a lack of medical treatment. , soldiers with lighter injuries and better physical condition may still survive, not to mention that when they actually encounter a battle, there is no time to take care of the seriously injured. Only those who maintain the ability to move can survive, and injuries like Yan Zheng's, if there is no If you don't have people to protect you, you may not be able to survive.
Yan Zheng saw the little doctor's thoughts, and suddenly saw so many life and death, which was a bit unbearable for a girl like her who was not mentally strong enough. However, after experiencing these things, she seemed to have become stronger than before. After talking a lot, Yan Zheng tried his best to make his tone lighter. He twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a not-so-good smile, "It seems that you can protect yourself. I can also lie down and have a good rest. With you, It’s quite reassuring to take care of me.”
The young doctor burst into tears and smiled, "What nonsense are you talking about? It will be a while before we can go back. You have to get better quickly."
She took out a clean gauze, moistened it with water and carefully wiped Yan Zheng's body. Yan Zheng's skin was covered with dried blood scabs. Only after wiping it clean could the wound be seen clearly. After wiping the whole body, the young doctor could see clearly. The criss-crossing wounds on Yan Zheng's body had begun to become infected and suppurated because they were not treated in time.
"Just bear with it, it's going to hurt a lot."
The young doctor took out a medicine jar from the medicine bag, poured out brown medicinal powder, and applied it carefully on the wound. The surface of some wounds was not large, but the inside was very deep, almost touching the bone. The young doctor took out cotton wool and rubbed it. It was made into a cotton strip, covered with medicinal powder, and then carefully inserted into the wound with his hands. As the cotton strip gradually penetrated deeper, Yan Zheng couldn't help but frowned, but the pain was nothing, and he never said a word.
The little doctor took out the tampon, which was already covered with yellow pus. She repeated the above steps until the tampon took out turned red with blood, which meant that the wound had been cleaned. Then she took out a clean gauze and wiped it The cleaned wounds were bandaged, and Yan Zheng let her do whatever she wanted. After all, this would make her feel more at ease. After cleaning the wounds on Yan Zheng's body, the young doctor stood up and hurriedly went to treat other injured people.
