Chapter 961: The Story of Ling and Heng (224)
Feng Ling was aggrieved. She finally wanted to admit that she was a woman.
But he didn’t want to listen.
She closed her eyes and didn’t speak. Feeling the muscles on his back and the power hidden in his body, she smiled. No matter whether he listened or not, she was going to die anyway. At least before she died, she wanted to be a woman in his eyes.
“I’m actually a… wo…”
“Open your eyes and keep awake! I don’t want to listen, understood?” Li Nanheng interrupted her abruptly and sounded pissed.
Feng Ling fell silent again.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak but that after being interrupted by him, she was so dizzy that she could no longer speak. She opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a sound. In the end, she feebly leaned her head against his back.
Those people dared not chase after them for fear of the snakes in the Snake Valley. Li Nanheng jumped down the mountain with Feng Ling on his back, carefully avoiding the snakes under his feet, traversing through the grasses, and finding a passage on the cliff, but he couldn’t jump over because there was a minefield over there.
Although the people failed to catch up with them, they quickly realized the mistake, found a path, and hurried after them.
If there weren’t a minefield here, let alone one Feng Ling, he could easily take away three Feng Lings put together.
But there were mines everywhere in this place. The slightest carelessness would have their bodies smashed to pieces. He simply couldn’t walk freely.
More importantly, Feng Ling had almost passed out. If he didn’t quickly treat her wound, he couldn’t imagine what would happen.
There was a burst of gunfire on the cliff. Hearing it, Feng Ling frowned. The only part of her body she could move was her hand. She tugged at his clothes with difficulty, and said hoarsely, “Li Nanheng…”
“Don’t worry. We’ll be fine.” Now there was only one way in front of them, which was the Snake Valley. Li Nanheng stood on the cliff, looking down while comforting Feng Ling.
Li Nanheng spent two minutes observing the surroundings and spotted a protruding stone platform covered by dense leaves. Although he wasn’t sure if it was firm enough, they could hide there temporarily.
Feng Ling didn’t know what Li Nanheng was doing. However, the next minute, she could feel that the man jumped down the cliff. She only heard the whistling wind in her ears and the weightlessness bought by the rapid fall. Feng Ling’s ears were humming and were supposed to hear nothing, but strangely, she heard Li Nanheng’s steady heartbeat.
For some reason, something wet suddenly flowed out of her eyes.
She didn’t want to implicate him, but he had still come.
Those people had already chased over, but stood above in hesitation because Li Nanheng and Feng Ling had jumped down. They didn’t notice the stone platform covered by the dense bushes. After looking down for a long while, they looked at each other. “The Snake Valley is down there. No one can come out of it alive. We’ve finished our task!”
“We killed one more person of XI Base. We’ve over-fulfilled the task!”
——
Those people stood on the cliff for a long time in case the two of them escaped. Hearing no sound from below at all, they waited fpr one more hour before they left.
After Feng Ling was taken down by Li Nanheng, they fell to the stone platform. Even though Li Nanheng protected her with his own body as the cushion, Feng Ling still fainted.
Although the Snake Valley was not very deep, there were at least dozens of meters from the stone platform to the top of the cliff.
There was dense foliage covering the stone platform, which was very secluded.
Li Nanheng helped Feng Ling up. Just now, they fell on the dense branches, so, except for the impact on their bodies, they weren’t hurt.
Li Nanheng’s body was full of scratches left by trees. Feng Ling’s injuries were less, but there were still some shallow blood marks on her cheeks.
In addition, she had been bitten by a snake before, so, after falling down the cliff, she completely passed out.
“Feng Ling.” Li Nanheng looked at her face and then pressed harder and harder under her nose with his thumb.
The girl in his arms frowned, her eyelids twitched but she seemed to be unable to open her eyes, and her fingers moved slightly. She tried to show that she was fine but she couldn’t utter a voice.
“Don’t sleep. Don’t sleep. Feng Ling, open your eyes.” Li Nanheng pinched her hand hard, trying to wake her up with the pain. When Feng Ling frowned and slightly opened his eyes, he stared at her and took her into his arms with a jerk. “Listen to me. You can’t sleep now. Once you sleep, you may never wake up. Do you hear me?”
Feng Ling wanted to smile at him, but her lips were numb and could hardly move. She tried her best to say, “Boss…”
Her voice was so light as if the wind could blow it away.
“Don’t speak. Save your energy. I’ll try to keep you awake, OK?” Li Nanheng said and reached out to pull her clothes away.
Leaning in his arms, Feng Ling didn’t struggle or move and let him untie her black uniform. Li Nanheng carefully held her bitten arm, rolled up her sleeve, and saw the purple blistering wound.
The wound was purple and covered with blisters and blood oozed out of it. Feng Ling started to have a high fever, was shaking all over uncontrollably, and seemed to have a cramp.
“When were you bitten?” the man asked while examining her wound.
“I don’t know. Probably in the one or two minutes after they shot my tent.” Although Feng Ling seemed to have almost fainted and her voice was very weak, she was still trying to keep sober.
