Chapter 345: A Poison Arrow

Bai Ying woke up, and it was already morning of the next day.

She opened her eyes and saw a closed triangular space.

This was the small single-person tent she was familiar with.

Her body felt quite fresh.

Looking down, she saw she was wearing a clean set of camouflage clothing on her upper body.

She undid the buttons, looked down, and saw a rectangular gauze patch placed over the wound.

Because the inflammation hasn't been fully treated, the injured side looks somewhat larger, and it can no longer contain it.

Bai Ying blushed involuntarily.

Just then, Lin Feng's voice sounded, "Are you awake?"

Bai Ying gave an "um" sound, quickly fastened her clothing buttons, bent over, opened the tent flap, and crawled out.

Lin Feng was sitting on a piece of wood, with a fire burning in front of him.

On the fire lay a small crocodile that had been skinned and decapitated.

Bai Ying felt her body still a bit weak; sitting by the fire, she didn't mind the heat.

Lin Feng sprinkled salt, chili powder, and cumin over the roasting crocodile.

Then he cut a piece of crocodile meat, skewered it on a branch, and handed it to Bai Ying.

"Hurry up and eat; once we're full, we need to leave quickly. At dawn, I heard the sound of a helicopter..."

Lin Feng reminded.

After saying that, Lin Feng started eating himself.

To be honest, the taste wasn't great.

But in this jungle, being able to find something edible is already not bad.

Many things are poisonous, and there are also many parasites.

Seeing Bai Ying's decent appetite, Lin Feng said, "You fainted yesterday evening. Then I took off your clothes, saw the wound, and indeed it had already festered."

"If I had delayed a few more hours, you'd probably have gotten sepsis. I didn't dare squeeze it, fearing the pus would spread, so I only... you understand."

A flush appeared on Bai Ying's pale face.

"Hehe!"

Lin Feng gave an embarrassed smile, "I didn't expect it, you're quite sturdy... oh, I mean your body is very healthy; an average person in this situation might not have held out."

Bai Ying remained silent.

How could she respond to Lin Feng's words?

Lin Feng continued, "You're wearing that man's clothes, you've run so far, you're all smelly."

So I dug a pit by the river, fetched some clean water, and wiped you down. I had to do this! You know if you don't clean it, the wound could get infected.

"Thank you!"

Bai Ying said with her head lowered.

Actually, she knew this even if Lin Feng didn't say it.

Must it be said out loud?

How embarrassing it would be to say it out!

She didn't know, but Lin Feng didn't think that way.

It's like liking a girl; if you don't confess, how would she know you like her?

Many things need to be said out loud.

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Between us, we don't need to say thank you; that's too polite."

After he said that, things became a bit awkward.

After finishing the roasted meat and replenishing their energy, the two began to pack up.

Lin Feng's brought supplies were quite complete.

The weapons were a sniper rifle, a small submachine gun, a gun, a small medical kit, a compass, a satellite information receiving and transmitting device, a small water purifier, a tent...

When Lin Feng took out a pack of y from a box and handed it to Bai Ying, she was shocked.

Lin Feng said, "I remember you needed that at the beginning of the month, so I picked up a pack; use it sparingly!"

Bai Ying laughed angrily.

"Can this thing even be used sparingly?"

"Thank you!"

After Bai Ying let out a sigh, she said with a smile.

There was a lot of stuff; a large backpack was over a meter tall, and with the ammunition, it weighed a hundred jin.

Only Lin Feng had the strength to carry so much gear that far.

Lin Feng was meticulous; he had already anticipated the possible situations after finding Bai Ying.

So he also stuffed an empty backpack into his pack.

He took out part of his own backpack's contents to let Bai Ying share the load.

That made things much easier.

"I came too fast; I didn't erase any traces along the way, so an experienced veteran would probably catch up soon."

Lin Feng looked toward the direction they had come from, furrowed his brow, and said.

"Yesterday we took down two helicopters; this time we must not be discovered."

"If we're found, the enemy might scramble fighter jets."

"By then, whatever poison gas bombs, incendiary bombs, and various explosives they throw at us, even if we run fast, it'll be useless."

Lin Feng even suspected that a satellite was already scanning this area from above.

"What exactly are you holding in your hand?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

When Bai Ying fainted yesterday, Lin Feng discovered she was tightly gripping a pendant in her hand.

That is definitely something extremely important.

Bai Ying said: "I don't know the specifics either, but its value relates to Guo Jia's strategy; saying it's worth trillions of dollars is not an exaggeration."

"In some aspects, we also have monopoly technology; if this data falls into American hands, they could quickly develop similar technology."

"Then I won't ask."

Lin Feng shook his head.

The less you know about certain things, the better.

Bai Ying followed behind him, so Lin Feng walked much slower.

The main reason is that Bai Ying's body is still weak!

A poisonous snake lunged from the nearby shrub and bit at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng waved the sniper rifle in his hand and swatted the poisonous snake away.

He did it casually.

Any movement or sound made by any creature around him cannot escape his ears and eyes.

"If we make it back safely this time, will you continue doing your current job?"

Lin Feng asked while walking.

Bai Ying replied: "This is a lifetime position; I'll retire when I can no longer work."

Lin Feng also said: "Don't take on such a dangerous mission again next time."

Bai Ying remained silent.

Lin Feng knew saying that was pointless.

A day passed.

In the evening, the two stopped.

They set up a tent.

Bai Ying felt her wound itching.

It's time to change the dressing.

Lin Feng noticed Bai Ying's condition and asked seriously: "It's time to change the dressing."

Bai Ying's face had already regained its color.

Upon Lin Feng saying that, her pretty face turned red again.

"I'll do it myself!"

Saying that, she opened her backpack, picked up the medicine box, and went into the tent.

She removed the gauze stuck on the wound, took a mirror, and shone a flashlight on it.

It turned out that a few stitches were still in the wound.

Lin Feng certainly didn't know how to suture wounds.

When removing the thread, he could only make a … bow.

This wound was caused when the airplane's windshield shattered during an emergency landing.

Don't be fooled by the small surface; the wound is actually deep.

Afterwards, Lin Feng dug out the rotting flesh from the wound, making the wound's surface even larger.

Now it's a bit infected; the stitches need to be removed…

He definitely couldn't do it himself.

"May I come in?"

Lin Feng called from outside.

Bai Ying replied helplessly: "Come in!"

This still requires Lin Feng's help.

She wished she could knock herself out with a single palm strike.

"Well… you could actually do it yourself."

Lin Feng reminded.

"I can't suture the wound."

"I mean, it's big enough; you just need to squeeze out the pus and blood inside."

Bai Ying's eyes widened.

If it weren't for Lin Feng's serious expression, she would have thought he was teasing her.

"Let's do it as you said!"

April 7, noon.

It had been more than four days since Lin Feng found Bai Ying.

The pursuers behind had long been left far behind by the two.

After confirming safety, Lin Feng opened the satellite communication system.

Bai Ying reported the current situation to her superiors.

After finishing the call, Lin Feng immediately cut off the communication.

Safety is relative; if possible, avoid exposing your position.

Through the satellite, he also learned where he and Bai Ying currently are in the Amazon Rainforest.

Going further south is definitely not possible.

The road is hard to travel, the forest is getting denser; we can only go east, where there is a wide river.

The distance to the river isn't far either, about ten kilometers.

'Be careful!'

Suddenly, Lin Feng shouted loudly and pulled Bai Ying down to the ground.

A poisonous arrow whizzed past the spot where Bai Ying had just been standing.
