Chapter 229 Betrayer
With the help of his companions, Deng Kang leaned against the mountain wall to get up, and he was surprised to find that the bleeding from his broken leg had almost stopped!
"Captain, what kind of potion is this?! This is incredible!" Deng Kang exclaimed in shock.
Yan San narrowed his eyes, his opinion of the potion rising again. He didn't explain the potion's origin, but instead told everyone to prepare to retreat: "Now that you've regained your strength, hurry up and leave. Don't waste this last bit of the potion."
Despite the help of the medicine, Deng Kang and the other injured Qin Jingguo could only barely hold on until they returned to the Amas Forest. Two consecutive days of travel had left them exhausted, and their wounds had reopened, worsening their injuries.
"Hold on! We'll be back in the Empire soon!"
The worsening and inflammation of the wounds caused both injured individuals to develop high fevers, which could damage their brains if left untreated.
Fortunately, they managed to make contact with the troops sent by Fu Baili to meet them, and returned to the military headquarters as quickly as possible without any major incident.
Upon receiving the news, Fu Baili rushed to the medical room without stopping. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yan San unharmed.
"You've come at just the right time. Go to Dr. Qi's research institute immediately and fetch the remaining half bottle of medicine!" Yan San had just returned and hadn't even had a sip of water before he had to start treating the injured team members.
Fu Baili glanced at Deng Kang and the other man lying on the hospital bed, and their worsening injuries made him gasp.
Their legion's personal physician, Doctor Hao, was cleaning the wounds of the two men.
Fu Baili, looking grim, hurriedly pulled Yan San aside and whispered, "That half-bottle of potion is gone! Dr. Qi used it on the decomposition this morning, and apparently obtained new data..."
Yan San's face darkened. Deng Kang had only broken a leg and could barely survive, but Qin Jingguo had been injured in the middle of his body by the explosion, and his injuries had dragged on for three days, putting his life in grave danger.
He thought for only a second, then spoke without hesitation: "Contact headquarters and request that the two team members be sent to the military medical department for treatment immediately."
The military medical department is under the jurisdiction of headquarters, which is essentially equivalent to one of Han Yuanzheng's forces. Making such a request to headquarters would be tantamount to bowing down to Han Yuanzheng.
Fu Baili's heart skipped a beat. He knew what this meant, of course, but the situation of the two team members was not optimistic, and it was still unknown whether they could save their lives.
"I understand." Fu Baili knew how to make choices; nothing was more important than his teammates' lives.
Fu Baili immediately contacted headquarters in the name of the First Legion. Only after doing all this did he calm down and sigh: "The Seven Luminaries Pavilion has never had any news about this kind of miraculous potion. If we can buy this potion again, perhaps we won't have to put up with Han Yuanzheng's attitude anymore."
Yan San remained silent for a long while before raising his eyes, the sharp glint in them sending a chill down one's spine.
“There are traitors among us.”
Fu Baili was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but shout, "What did you say?!"
Fu Baili put in a lot of effort for this mission to investigate the Kingdom of Grei. He had minimized the risks and sent out elite team members!
Even so, the mission still failed, and two team members were seriously injured!
"It's as if the enemy knew all our routes and set up ambushes in advance." Yan San's eyes had turned completely cold.
