Chapter 965: The Story of Ling and Heng (228)
But after detection, they found that at least a half mines had been removed on this path.
Feng Ling cleared so many mines in only half a month. Such speed and dedicated att.i.tude were really amazing.
Even if this job was a punishment for her, she didn’t muddle through it at all.
It was just because the mines around had been mostly cleared that the helicopter landed more quickly than expected, and with the base’s professional GPS search technology, they soon found a faint light under the cliff.
——
When Feng Ling was carried into the helicopter, Han Jin and Xiao Xu, who were in the rescue team, noticed that Li Nanheng’s face looked ghastly pale in the dark night, and immediately asked, “Boss, were you also injured?”
“I’m fine. Save Feng Ling first.”
Then he suddenly remembered the number of bullets in the gun of Feng Ling was not right.
Before boarding the helicopter, he looked back at the position where Feng Ling had set up the tent halfway up the mountain. “Wait for me for a while.”
Han Jin and Xiao Xu didn’t say much, one immediately went into the helicopter to check Feng Ling’s condition, and the other followed Boss Li to go over.
They walked past the thick gra.s.ses, walked to the tent, and found Feng Ling’s suitcase in it. Xiao Xu quickly took the suitcase and walked out of the tent, only to see Boss was looking for something with the flashlight on his cell phone.
“Boss? Is there anything left?”
“I’m looking for a snake.” Li Nanheng said briefly.
Xiao Xu was puzzled. There were so many snakes on this mountain. When the helicopter landed here, he had been hearing the hissing sounds of snakes along the way. Which snake was he still looking for?
As Xiao Xu approached, Li Nanheng suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Stop. Don’t move.”
Xiao Xu froze instantly.
Then he saw Li Nanheng suddenly bent over in his direction…
Xiao Xu’s mouth twitched and he was a bit panicked. “Boss, although we know that you care about Feng Ling very much, you don’t have to bow to me…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a black and green dead snake picked up by Li Nanheng with a stick.
The snake seemed to have been dead for more than a few hours. Although he was not afraid of snakes, he was startled to see this dead snake.
Xiao Xu took a step back. “What’s this…”
Seeing this dead snake, Li Nan smiled and threw it directly into Xiao Xu’s arms. When Xiao Xu screamed in fright, not knowing whether to take it or throw it away, Li Nanheng said casually, “Bring it back. It can save Feng Ling’s life.”
Holding the cold and disgusting thing in his hand, Xiao Xu felt a chill down his spine, but then he heard Boss’s words.
Yes, those bitten by a snake had to be injected with the serum, so it was better to find the snake that bit Feng Ling.
According to the bullet holes on the snake’s body, it must had been killed by Feng Ling.
In other words, she was bitten by this snake.
——
On the helicopter, Feng Ling had been unconscious.
In fact, she hadn’t been awake since she pa.s.sed out a few hours ago. Her body was cold and hot. Now her body was cold like a dead body.
Dr. Wen at the base recently went to the UK to attend a seminar, so he failed to rush back. The accompanying doctor was the subst.i.tute doctor at the base who was Dr. Wen’s apprentice. He hurried forward to treat Feng Ling.
Just when he was about to undress her, Li Nanheng said coldly, “Let me do it.”
With that, the man endured the pain in his shoulder and picked up the dagger again. Without giving the doctor the opportunity to untie her coat, he cut off her sleeve, revealing the wound on her shoulder that already turned purple.
“Boss, were you also injured?” Xiao Xu asked beside him.
“Just skin trauma. I’m fine.” Li Nanheng said. “Save him first. Unlike trauma, snake bite is not easy to treat. Be quick.”
The doctor nodded and examined Feng Ling’s wound, saying, “Boss Li, it seems that you have done preliminary detoxification treatment for Feng Ling, but this method of bloodletting cannot completely remove the snake venoms. According to the color of the wound, at least half of the snake venom has not been removed. It is unclear how poisonous this snake is. We shall send Feng Ling and the snake to the hospital. The only thing I can do here is to simply dress his wound. The blood in his wound has temporarily coagulated. Let me bandage you first.”
“I said, save him first. Cut the c.r.a.p!” Li Nanheng frowned crossly. “How many hours will it take to fly back to Los Angeles from here? Do you think he’ll still be alive when we get there?”
The doctor turned pale. “But now we are really unable to do follow-up treatment and detoxification here, which can only be done in a hospital. We have no time to lose. How about going to a local Cambodian hospital?”
Li Nanheng looked down at the ghastly pale girl lying on the ground whose eyes were closed tightly and lips were dry.
A few seconds later, he frowned coldly. “Can local hospitals treat this wound?”
“Although their medical level is not as developed as in the United States, there are still some good hospitals in major cities, and local people are often exposed to snakes. In my opinion, maybe… we can have a try. Otherwise, it would be too late to bring Feng Ling back to Los Angeles.”
“Then find the nearest hospital,” Li Nanheng said, his face paler.
Han Jin just came over to hear their conversation and then noticed Li Nanheng’s pale face. Without saying anything, he tore open Li Nanheng’s clothes on his back. Sure enough, he saw that his back had already been stained red with blood. His scapula was penetrated by a bullet. Although the bullet didn’t remain in his flesh, the wound looked very serious. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to endure this kind of pain.
Seeing the wound on Li Nanheng’s shoulder, the doctor hurried to get the medical kit. “Boss Li, your injury is almost infected. Let me treat it for you…”
Li Nanheng kicked the medicinal kit over when the doctor drew near and roared expressionlessly. “I’m fine! Save Feng Ling first!”
“But Boss…”
However, being coldly stared at by Li Nanheng, the doctor dared not say anything and turned back to take care of Feng Ling…
