Chapter 140 Ready to Fight

Lu Yao gently used his military dagger to cut Xu Yi's right trouser leg before carefully lifting the strips of the trousers.

And he moved the strips aside.

Xu Yi still did not give up the thought of struggling, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free. He watched helplessly as Lu Yao revealed a wound below his right knee in front of everyone.

"Ouch!"

Xu Long was the closest to them. When he saw the wound on Xu Yi's right leg, he couldn't help but gasp.

The other team members had noticed the expressions of these three people at this time and hurriedly surrounded them. When everyone saw the wound on Xu Yi's leg, they couldn't help but gasp. Although Li Kang was a soldier, he was soft-hearted. When he saw the scene, he couldn't bear to look straight at it, so he turned his head to the other side.

"Xu Yi, when did you get hurt? Why didn't you tell me?" Xu Long was surprised for a while, and then he questioned Xu Yi with an expression of discontent.

"Captain, I thought it was not serious, so I didn't report it to you." Xu Yi squeezed out a smile with difficulty and explained to Xu Long as if he was trying to curry favor.

"If you had said it earlier, your wound might have been treated. But now look, your wound has been infected. Look at it yourself. It's festering and swollen. Now it looks like tofu!" Xu Long angrily pointed at Xu Yi's wound, which had turned white and swollen because of his sweat and the vapor in the air.

Xu Yi wanted to say a few more words, but he was choked by the glare of Xu Long, so he remained silent. Xu Long suddenly remembered that it was Lu Yao who had discovered the abnormality and cut open Xu Yi's trousers. Did he have the most effective way to deal with Xu Yi's wound?

Xu Long asked with a glimmer of hope, "Lu Yao, do you know how to treat this wound to prevent it from being further infected?"

Lu Yao nodded and stopped what he was doing. He said, "Captain Xu, keep an eye on him. Don't let his right foot land on the ground again. I'll be back soon!"

After he finished speaking, Lu Yao moved away silently in the same way as he had come. He soon disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Gao Feng had already sat in the place Lu Yao had been sitting. He lifted Xu Yi's right leg and held it in his arms. He said, "Xu Yi, why are you doing this? Don't you know you might ruin your future?"

"Sigh, how could I not know? But I also know that if I told you guys, you would definitely make me give up. If I gave up, it wouldn't matter. However, I know you guys. In this dangerous environment, it is very likely that all of you will accompany me and also give up. In that case, what I give up is not only my own future, but also yours. I don't want to see such a thing happen!" Xu Yi said sadly.

"..."

Ten minutes later, Lu Yao returned with a few unknown herbs in his hand. Lu Yao quickly came to Xu Yi's side. He put the herbs into his mouth and chewed quickly.

"Big Brother Xu, I used to follow an old doctor in Shuangta City and learned some medical skills from him. If you trust me, I will treat your wound." Although Lu Yao had already put the herbs in his mouth, he still asked for Xu Yi's personal opinion. When he saw Xu Yi nod in agreement, he said, "Now you don't feel any pain in your wound. I want to tell you that after the herbal medicine is applied to the wound, you won't feel anything in the beginning. But as time goes on, your wound will hurt more and more. This feeling will last for about half an hour. I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance."

Lu Yao finished applying the medicinal herbs for Xu Yi. He wrapped Xu Yi's wound with gauze in the medical kit. Then he got up and pulled Xu Long away from the crowd and quietly said, "Captain, Xu Yi is in a critical situation. The current conditions are limited and I can't find better herbs to cure him. If this continues, he won't be able to see the end of the drill, so I think..."

Xu Long waved his hand to motion Lu Yao to stop talking because he knew what he should do. Then, he turned around and walked towards Xu Yi.

Xu Long sent away all the team members, including Lu Yao. Then, he said something to Xu Yi.

Lu Yao could see that Xu Yi's reaction was very intense. Of course, he could also hear what the two of them were saying. A few minutes later, perhaps Xu Long had convinced Xu Yi. Xu Long came to the front of everyone and said, "Next, Lu Yao will lead everyone to complete the drill. I want to stay here with Xu Yi until the staff member of the director team comes to pick us up!"

Gao Feng and Wang Peng wanted to say something, but they were forced to swallow their words. They also had to admit that Xu Long's choice was currently the best and the only feasible one.

The environment here was so harsh, and if they fired the signal g*n, they would definitely expose their location. However, if one person stayed with Xu Yi and waited to fire the signal g*n until the team was far away, then the directing crew could see the signal and come to pick up Xu Yi. This way, the location of the team would not be exposed, and they could ensure the safety of Xu Yi during this period of time.

Xu Long chose to stay here not because he was trying to be a hero or because he was the Captain. He thought that he was a few years older than all the other members, and the time he would spend in the army in the future was shorter than the others, so he wanted to leave more opportunities for the young people.

The comrades knew that it would be difficult to change Xu Long's decision, so they had no choice but to run forward under Lu Yao's command.

Without Xu Long, Li Kang became the one in charge of exchanging signals with Lu Yao. Because Xu Long was not with them, Lu Yao did not dare to stay too far away from the team. After all, Li Kang was not as meticulous as Xu Long.

The elite team slowly moved towards the valley that Lu Yao had discovered earlier. Lu Yao found another vantage point and carefully observed the valley again.

Lu Yao said that there was something wrong with this valley, because after hiding in a hidden bush in this valley for nearly ten minutes, he didn't hear any sound of birds or insects. At first, he thought that this was a minefield that had been forgotten by people. But after careful observation and experimentation, he found that things were different. Moreover, he carefully recalled all the markings on the old map in his mind, but this place was not marked on the map.

He had planned to go back and discuss this with Xu Long, but when he saw that Xu Yi was injured, he did not speak about these things. He did not want those soldiers to be more stressed.

This time, he laid on top of the rock. First, he narrowed his eyes and was in a state of contemplation so that he could completely calm down. Only by abandoning all irrelevant thoughts in his mind and forgetting the burden on his body would he be able to feel the surroundings with his heart. In other words, he wanted to completely integrate himself into this environment and feel every change in the surrounding environment.

After several repeated attempts, Lu Yao felt that his intuition was right. This valley was indeed strange. Although he did not find the hiding place of the members of the Falcon Assault Team, he was sure that they were near.

Lu Yao was like an earthworm wriggling in the soil as he slowly retreated from the rock. He controlled all the muscles in his body to the limit and tried his best not to make any noise when he moved in the bushes.

"Comrades, I think the place ahead should be where we will have the final battle. Although I have not found their hiding place yet, I am sure that they must be somewhere in the valley." Lu Yao came to the bushes where his teammates were hiding and said affirmatively in a low voice.

Hearing what Lu Yao said, everyone became extremely nervous. The most crucial battle was going to begin, so they were both excited and nervous.

Lu Yao glanced at everyone's expressions and continued, "At this critical time, we must be cautious. We can't use wireless headsets anymore. Moreover, we must not use our secret signals unless something urgent happens. Otherwise, it will be easy to attract the attention of our enemies."

"Then how are we going to send messages?" Hearing Lu Yao's words, Wang Peng expressed his agreement. However, if they couldn't use wireless headsets or secret signals, how could they communicate?

"I've thought about it. From now on, we have to change the method that Captain Xu has used. We can't prepare or plan anymore. We outnumber our enemies. As long as we split up and move forward separately, we can lock onto the position of the enemies in time even if one or two team members are exposed, right?" Lu Yao said.

"The method is good, but our individual ability is far weaker than theirs. If one of us is eliminated before the rest of us come to support him, wouldn't he be sacrificed in vain?" Li Kang asked.

Lu Yao had thought about this before, but he could not think of a better way for a while. Gao Feng saw Lu Yao's expression and understood his thoughts. He said, "What's there to be afraid of? People's fate is determined by the heavens. How will we know the result if we don't try? I think Staff Officer Lu's method is the most reliable method right now. Moreover, I believe in Staff Officer Lu's ability. He will definitely lock onto the position of our enemies first. Even if we eliminate only one enemy, our chances of winning will be higher."

"Yes, what Big Gao said makes sense. We will be unable to achieve anything by being too cautious. Let's do as Staff Officer Lu said!" Li Fei looked at Li Kang and agreed with Gao Feng.

Li Kang had good intentions. Now that he heard everyone's opinions, he could only follow Lu Yao's instructions because he could not think of a better way.

Lu Yao, Gao Feng, Wang Peng, Li Kang, and Li Fei adjusted their watches and headed towards the valley.

The final battle was imminent.
