Chapter 135: Chapter 134: “I Feel Like Someone’s Watching Me.

The rescue operation was in its final stages, and Gu Jia Ning and the others didn’t need to stay in the disaster area any longer.

Since the vehicles were being used to transport the injured, they had no choice but to walk back. Fortunately, the distance wasn’t too far, and it would take just over half an hour on foot.

Zhang Shuwan linked arms with Gu Jia Ning, and the two walked back together.

As they walked, Gu Jia Ning suddenly turned her head, her eyes scanning as if looking for something.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Shuwan asked.

“I felt like someone was watching me.” But when she turned around, she saw no one.

“Maybe you’re mistaken?” Zhang Shuwan looked around as well but didn’t notice anything strange.

“Maybe.” Gu Jia Ning continued to walk forward with Zhang Shuwan, but she doubted her own sense was wrong. She really felt someone watching her just now, and the gaze seemed tinged with malice.

Ever since her rebirth, Gu Jia Ning had been more sensitive to such things.

However, the Malice Value Alarm Device didn’t go off, so that was a relief.

Back at the military district, Gu Jia Ning didn’t go to the hospital to work. Elder Chen had said that since they’d been engaged in rescue operations for a day and a night, they were exhausted, so today they were given a day off to rest at home.

Gu Jia Ning was indeed tired. After eating at Zhang Shuwan’s place, she went home, heated the kang, and nestled on it, drifting into a deep sleep.

After a day and night of continuous rescue, Gu Jia Ning was truly exhausted, especially since she was pregnant, experiencing drowsiness, and relying on willpower to keep going.

Now, she was finally able to rest, her nerves relaxed completely, and she fell asleep.

She slept heavily.

Yet, she had a dream. In the dream, she saw Sheng Zexi and his comrades running through a hail of bullets, with many comrades injured. Even knowing it was a dream, Gu Jia Ning was still worried…

At that moment, Sheng Zexi was using bandages to stop the bleeding of unconscious comrades, surrounded by many similarly injured comrades.

They hadn’t expected that the enemy country would have inside information about their route and set up an ambush right on their path. There were many ambushers, causing many of Sheng Zexi’s comrades to be injured, some even critically, nearing death’s door.

Sheng Zexi thought that perhaps these were what Ningning had seen at that time.

Thankfully, he brought bandages, and now he was working discreetly, bandaging and stopping the bleeding of his critically injured comrades. If possible, he still hoped they could survive.

As many comrades were sent on a mission, so shall many return together!

The lightly wounded comrades were also bandaging each other and analyzing the action.

“Someone must have leaked the information.”

“Yes, definitely, otherwise, they wouldn’t have accurately determined our route.”

“We just don’t know who!”

Sheng Zexi also agreed with this assessment. Having finished bandaging the last comrade on the brink of death, seeing his breathing stabilize somewhat, Sheng Zexi breathed a sigh of relief, “The odds of a mole among us are low; more likely, someone unintentionally let something slip.”

“You’d better think about whether you’ve mentioned our mission to anyone.”

After Sheng Zexi spoke, he looked around and didn’t notice any unusual expressions among his conscious comrades. He couldn’t help but eye those unconscious from severe injuries—could one of them have accidentally leaked information, taken advantage of by someone?

“What about the mission? With so many injured, we might not be able to carry it out.” Looking at the nearly half of comrades injured, someone remarked.

Sheng Zexi made a decision, “Let’s get them to the hospital first, and discuss the rest later.”

Soon, the severely wounded were sent to a hospital, and they found a place to rest temporarily in a local county town.

That night, when everyone had fallen asleep, Sheng Zexi, who was originally asleep as well, opened his eyes.

In the night, he moved stealthily like a ghost. Leaving some information behind, he took his equipment and set out for the predetermined mission site.

The mission this time was crucial; if possible, he would give it his all to complete it.

His comrades were injured, some critically; the enemies were numerous, with plenty of equipment.

Sheng Zexi thought, the only hope of completing the mission now rested on him, clad in an invisible bulletproof suit. No matter how many bullets the enemy fired, he wouldn’t be afraid.

He would complete the mission!

Ningning, it won’t be long, I’ll be back soon!

With that in mind, Sheng Zexi quietly slipped into the night, merging instantly with the darkness…

–

Gu Jia Ning didn’t know how long she’d slept.

When she woke up, it was already dark, and she was hungry.

At the beginning of her sleep, she dreamed of Sheng Zexi, and then no more dreams followed.

Sitting on the kang, she couldn’t help but recall the dream just now. She dreamt of Sheng Zexi, alone, breaking into the enemy camp amid a hail of bullets, countless bullets flying toward him…

As for what happened next, Gu Jia Ning didn’t know.

Seeing so many bullets flying towards Sheng Zexi had frightened her.

The fear woke her from the dream.

She fell into a deep sleep afterward and didn’t dream again.

Holding the pillow belonging to Sheng Zexi, Gu Jia Ning reached out, patting it a few times, “Why haven’t you come back yet? You’ve been gone for over a month. My belly is starting to show. You can’t wait until after the baby is born to come back, can you?”

“You’ve been away so long, this pillow hasn’t had your scent for ages.”

“Sheng Zexi, if you don’t come back soon, I might forget what you look like…”

Has she really forgotten what he looks like? Of course not. Gu Jia Ning was just worried about him and missed him dearly!

No matter how much Gu Jia Ning muttered, Sheng Zexi had yet to return.

The next day, Gu Jia Ning returned to work at the hospital. Elder Chen also arrived. It was only yesterday that Elder Chen, Doctor Zhou, and Dr. Lu found out that Gu Jia Ning was pregnant.

Knowing she was pregnant and still took part in the rescue, tirelessly treating patients for a day and a night, they were very impressed. Had they known earlier, they would have shared more of Gu Doctor’s workload.

However, they thought that even if they tried to help, they might not have managed much, as Dr. Gu’s medical skills were far superior to theirs. Yesterday, she saved countless critically injured patients they found helpless.

Now, as there were no patients, Elder Chen sat down to discuss with Gu Jia Ning the condition and treatment of the critically injured from the previous day. With a learning attitude, Doctor Zhou and Dr. Lu also came over to listen, occasionally offering suggestions.

This discussion lasted the whole morning. Gu Jia Ning didn’t know how many glasses of water she had drunk, or else her mouth would have dried out.

As Gu Jia Ning talked more, Elder Chen’s eyes shone with increasing brightness as he looked at her.
