Chapter 963: The Story of Ling and Heng (226)
Remaining motionless, Feng Ling just let him kiss her fiercely. His kiss was angry even with a trace of fear that she could not detect. He remembered that he had just helped her suck the poisonous blood out of the wound, so although he was kissing her fiercely, he was actually very careful not to bite her lips, but Feng Ling could feel how angry he was from his kiss.
She feebly leaned against his chest, letting him kiss her. When he finally stopped, Li Nanheng looked down at her eyes that were about to lose focus, held her shoulder, and shouted, “Don’t sleep!”
Feng Ling opened her eyes and looked at him with difficulty. Being kissed so hard, her lips were still pale and even a little blue..
“Listen to me. Don’t sleep.” Seeing that she was trying to hold on, Li Nanheng held her shoulder hard. “If you can’t hold on, tell me. Don’t close your eyes. Don’t sleep.”
“Um.” Feng Ling grunted weakly and he helped her to lean back against the rock wall.
She thought that once her secret was known by Boss Li, she might have to face his anger or punishment or even be driven out of the base.
Even she herself did not expect to tell him her secret in such a situation.
At this time, he was not in the mood to be surprised.
This was good.
At least she didn’t have to face his rage.
After all, she had been cheating the entire base for so long…
Feng Ling was pondering hanging her head low, but Li Nanheng was inspecting the wounds on her body and was relieved to find that she was fine except for the snake bite.
Li Nanheng took out his phone and glanced at it. There was no signal. Then he glanced at Feng Ling and took out the phone from her pocket, which also had no signal.
A hundred meters below was the very center of the Snake Valley. They couldn’t jump from here because the snakes in the Snake Valley were very dangerous.
He looked up into the distance, and all he saw was trees. Now it was already dawn, there were dews on the leaves and he could smell the refres.h.i.+ng aroma of gra.s.s. There weren’t many dry branches except those picked up by Li Nanheng on the stone platform just now.
It was so quiet with only occasional rustling sounds, which meant that a snake was crawling past.
In this silence, Feng Ling held on for a long time. If it wasn’t for her good physique, she might have died. But no matter what, she was still a human. Being bitten by a poisonous snake, if she couldn’t see a doctor soon, she would definitely die within one to two days, or even in a few hours.
There were only dense forests and minefields all over the mountain and no living people. Hearing the occasional rustling and hissing sounds, Feng Ling couldn’t help but hold her breath.
After a long time, Feng Ling couldn’t hold it anymore. While Li Nanheng got up and looked for a way up, she closed her eyes for two minutes.
However, just in these two minutes, many strange pictures appeared in her mind. In the dark night, the sea was endless and the air was chilly, the one-year-old baby girl was washed to the sh.o.r.e and cried helplessly. Toddling on the coast with her chubby short legs, she cried and walked forward. She fell, got up and continued to walk crying. She was so tired and hungry and wanted milk, food, water and mother, but there was nothing but the boundless jungle and coast in the distance…
Feng Ling opened her eyes in sharp pain. Perhaps what she saw just now was the memory of her childhood. How could it be possible for her to remember her infancy? But why were the pictures so vivid…
Seaside?
Why was it the seaside?
At this time, she saw Li Nanheng’s annoyed and worried eyes. She turned her eyes to him and called feebly, “Boss…”
“Didn’t I tell you not to sleep?” The man pressed the part below her nose hard with his thumb. “Don’t sleep.”
Feng Ling looked at him, then smiled, and said softly, “We can’t… get up, can we?”
Li Nanheng frowned. “Don’t worry. I will take you out as soon as possible.”
As soon as possible? How?
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t fight against such a harsh natural environment.
She had been demining here for so many days, so she was quite familiar with the terrain and environment here.
No one dared to come close to this mountain, there were too many snakes crawling back and forth all the year round, and the ground and rocks were covered with moss and slippery plants. The cliff was very steep and slippery, so it was impossible to climb up.
Li Nanheng picked up the dagger and cut off all the st.u.r.dy rattans around the stone platform, and when a snake crawled down at him, he immediately raised his hand and slashed at the snake. In an instant, the snake with a green triangle head collapsed to the ground and Li Nanheng kicked it off the stone platform.
Seeing the man throw the thick rattan sticks in front of her, Feng Ling frowned and wanted to say no bother. If he left by himself, it might be easier but now he tried to take her away although she could hardly move.
However, she was very sure that although there was no signal here, XI Base would soon notice that they had lost contact with the base and would send people over to rescue them as soon as possible.
She just didn’t know if she would still be alive when they came.
She wanted to speak, only to see that Li Nanheng cut out all the p.r.i.c.ks on the rattan and threw it to her again.
Feng Ling suddenly frowned because she glimpsed an almost invisible bloodstain on the back of the black uniform he wore. She had lost her sense of smell, so she didn’t smell the blood and didn’t notice it until now.
