Shen Chengfeng ran out from behind the big tree that was covering him, and almost as soon as he was exposed, a hail of bullets came flying toward him.
Xiao Jing noticed his approaching figure, took a deep breath, and set up her assault rifle. Knowing that the captain was planning to use himself to lure the enemy, she aimed at the enemy who had been completely exposed. Sweat dripped from the corners of her eyes, and without hesitation, she pulled the trigger.
The bullets shot out, piercing through raindrops, and finally landed within the enemy’s firing range.
“Bang bang bang.” The flames of war spread, and the tranquility of the forest was disturbed once again.
Shen Chengfeng pulled Xiao Jing into his arms and tackled her to the ground. Bullets came from his right rear, like a storm that seemed intent on tearing the two of them apart.
They were besieged.
Xiao Jing shook her slightly dizzy head, probably a side effect of excessive blood loss. She flicked open the empty magazine, replaced it with a new one, and said in a strong, powerful voice, “Captain, I have locked all the positions.”
Shen Chengfeng looked at her serious and earnest features. Although her face was pale, her voice was strong and clear. He nodded and said, “Take care of yourself.”
Xiao Jing gripped her sidearm tightly. Taking advantage of the darkness, she abandoned her backpack and traveled lightly to find the best shooting spot.
Shen Chengfeng intentionally or unintentionally revealed his whereabouts to everyone, attracting everyone’s attention.
Xiao Jing climbed the tall tree, blood seeping out drop by drop. Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, whether from the cold or the pain, she didn’t know. She gritted her teeth and aimed at her first prey.
With a large-scale siege, all members of the Zhenghu team were prepared to finish off this most troublesome living devil in one fell swoop.
“Bang!” The firing continued without pause for a moment, one bullet after another soaring into the air at high speed.
“The rear has been breached.” Before the words were even finished, the man realized that his sensors had been destroyed, and thick smoke enveloped him.
Seizing an opening, Shen Chengfeng stopped dodging, grabbed his sidearm, and opened fire.
“Go to hell, finish him off!” one man exclaimed. Just as he finished speaking, a bullet struck his arm, instantly leaving a bloody hole.
“Bang.”
One shot, one kill; the Zhenghu team members retreated hastily.
Shen Chengfeng showed no sign of letting them off the hook, and swiftly blocked the escape route of the two men like a ghost.
The two of them, without prior arrangement, chose to flee in opposite directions.
Shen Chengfeng held the gun in both hands, his eyes slowly focusing on the fleeing figure of the other person.
“Bang.” White smoke billowed out.
Chen Yishan put down the communicator, his brows furrowed.
“The siege failed; five dead and three lightly wounded.” Xiao Zheng sighed, realizing they needed to change tactics.
Chen Yishan’s gaze was serious. “Captain, there’s no need for us to keep harping on Captain Shen.”
“Let him go for now. Gather everyone and tonight we’ll hunt down those three little preys in the southeast.” Xiao Zheng stood up and stretched his limbs; it was time to make his appearance.
The rain intensified, and dense raindrops fell from the gaps in the trees, hitting the ground one by one, and the entire jungle returned to tranquility.
Shen Chengfeng carried the dazed and unconscious Xiao Jing on his back, cautiously heading towards a place where he could take shelter from the rain for a short time.
Xiao Jing lay on his back, muttering, “Captain, it hurts a little.”
Shen Chengfeng slowed his pace, parted the grass, and discovered a small cave.
The cave was pitch black, with low breathing sounds coming from inside.
Shen Chengfeng put Xiao Jing aside and took out a flashlight, shining it into the cave.
“Roar!” The beast, unwilling to have its sleep disturbed, roared angrily.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have turned and run away at this moment, but Shen Chengfeng walked into the cave without hesitation.
The tiger’s pupils were crimson, boiling as if they had seen blood. It opened its mouth and unceremoniously displayed its fangs to this foolish human.
“Roar!” A powerful and furious roar echoed deafeningly in the cave.
Shen Chengfeng knew that wild animals had thick hides and tough flesh, and bullets might not be able to kill them instantly. Moreover, he couldn’t kill it right now. So he calmly took off his gloves and made a defensive gesture.
The tiger was enraged, took a step, and leaped into the air.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed its tiger claws and, with all his might, lifted it up and slammed it heavily to the ground.
The tiger struggled for a moment, and a clearly visible corroded wound was visible on its claws where Shen Chengfeng had touched it. In its pain, it lost its previous domineering aura and stopped attacking with some fear.
Shen Chengfeng took another step forward.
The tiger limped to its feet, displaying the aura of the king of beasts, and prepared to pounce again.
“Roar.” The tiger’s roar shook the heavens, and the entire cave trembled.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed the tiger’s ears as it attacked wildly, flipped over and leaped onto its back, and began to press down on its back with both hands.
“Roar!” The intense pain made it tremble, and it frantically swung its tiger claws, trying to knock the annoying human off.
Shen Chengfeng couldn’t kill this guy, so he jumped off its back at the right moment. Seeing the huge creature panting and lying on the ground, he tenderly licked his own fur.
The tiger curled its paws in grievance, glaring at the humans who had already left but had returned, hastily trying to minimize its presence.
Shen Chengfeng set Xiao Jing aside and lit some weeds in the cave.
The tiger let out a low growl, timely reminding the human that he was burning his own den.
Shen Chengfeng ignored her and continued burning firewood. Once he was sure the cave had warmed up a bit, he gently patted Xiao Jing’s face.
Xiao Jing sat up with a start, her face flushed red from the firelight.
Shen Chengfeng looked down at her injuries and frowned, asking, “The bullet is still inside your body?”
Xiao Jing relaxed her guard and nodded. “Captain, I can still fight.”
Shen Chengfeng ignored her words, opened his backpack, checked the first aid medications inside, and said coldly, “Take off your clothes.”
“…” Xiao Jing thought she might be hallucinating.
Shen Chengfeng emphasized, “Take off your clothes.”
“Captain–“
“Get the bullet out first.” Shen Chengfeng poured some iodine on the dagger, and seeing that she hesitated and didn’t move, he continued, “Or do you want to back out now?”
Without further hesitation, Xiao Jing first took off her bulletproof vest, and then her camouflage uniform, leaving only the white strip tightly wrapped around her chest. She then lay on her side on the ground.
Shen Chengfeng tightened his grip on his fingers and said, “Bear with it.”
Xiao Jing bit her clothes tightly and nodded solemnly.
The tiger, hiding in the corner, smelled the blood and instinctively moved its paws toward the humans.
“If you don’t want your hands and feet to be broken, you’d better stay put.” Shen Chengfeng glared coldly at the restless giant.
“Roar.” The tiger withdrew its restless paws and obediently huddled in the corner.
“Ugh!” The sharp blade pierced into her body, and Xiao Jing could feel her body involuntarily beginning to spasm.
Shen Chengfeng moved quickly. To minimize the pain, he swiftly brought down the knife, and the bullet fell to the ground.
“Huff huff huff.” Xiao Jing lay exhausted on the ground, her vision blurry and unfocused.
Shen Chengfeng poured on some hemostatic medicine, wrapped it with gauze, and after tidying everything up, took off his clothes.
Xiao Jing felt the warmth of his clothes and opened her eyes.
Shen Chengfeng wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said in a low voice, “Go to sleep. No one will bother you tonight.”
Xiao Jing lay on his lap, feeling dizzy.
Drip, drip, water began to seep from the cave.
The tiger tugged at its paws in frustration, occasionally raising its head to look at the two intruders.
“Captain, it’s cold,” Xiao Jing murmured in her sleep.
Almost reflexively, Shen Chengfeng hugged her, touched her slightly feverish forehead, and involuntarily tightened his arms, holding her even closer.
Xiao Jing smelled a familiar scent, opened her eyes slightly, and seemed to see a shadow moving in and out of sight. She subconsciously reached out her hand.
Seeing her raise her hand, Shen Chengfeng grabbed it and reassured her, “I’m here.”
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment. Hearing the man’s deep voice, she turned her head and her vision gradually became clear. His features slowly magnified in her pupils.
The cave was quiet and a bit cold, with flickering flames, but the light was weak.
Xiao Jing turned around to face the man beside her. His face was as serious as ever, his whole face was very tense, as if he was controlling something.
Shen Chengfeng turned his gaze elsewhere, feeling the restless little guy squirming in his arms. He lowered his voice and said, “Sleep.”
Xiao Jing’s cheeks were flushed from the high fever. In her dazed state, she raised her hand and gently, almost imperceptibly, stroked the man’s chest.
Shen Chengfeng frowned, grabbed her flailing hands, and emphasized, “Don’t forget the vow you made.”
Xiao Jing jolted awake. She felt as if she were sleepwalking. Yes, the person in front of her had no warmth. She couldn’t feel his warmth. Besides, how could her aloof captain possibly take off his clothes and lie down next to her?
This must be a dream I had, like the kind of dream I had in early spring, with some indescribable actions.
Haha, that’s so violent!
Xiao Jing blushed involuntarily.
Shen Chengfeng watched her giggle to herself without saying a word, thinking that she must have misunderstood something, and then said, “Don’t have any improper thoughts about your superior, that’s very disrespectful.”
Xiao Jing looked up, her bright, watery eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled. She said, “Captain, I actually had this idea a long time ago.”
“…”
Xiao Jing mustered her courage and wrapped one arm around the other’s neck, while the other hand slid around his neck in circles, revealing a very strong intention.
Shen Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, the danger in them growing stronger.
Xiao Jing leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against the other’s cheek. She laughed and said, “I not only want to defile you, I also want to strip you naked one day and then fuss over you from head to toe, making you cry and beg for mercy from Master Xiao.”
“Very daring.” Shen Chengfeng uttered these four words expressionlessly.
Xiao Jing’s lips curled up, and she became even bolder. Since this was all a dream, she was going to torture this living devil who was tormenting her all the time in the dream.
Shen Chengfeng sensed her next move and quickly grabbed her wrist. In a very low voice, almost like a guttural sound, he said, “Write a 10,000-word self-criticism when you get back.”
Xiao Jing smiled even more carefreely, her face flushed with embarrassment, “Okay, I’ll write it. Don’t mention ten thousand words, I’ll write even a hundred thousand words. After all, you’re my superior.”
Shen Chengfeng sat up and glared down at the soldier who had overstepped his authority.
Xiao Jing flailed her little paws, only to find that she had missed. She had planned to do a majestic carp somersault and then continue to tease her brooding superior, but as soon as she moved, the wound on her side started to hurt violently, proving one thing to her.
She remained motionless, her body stiff, her eyes blinking rapidly as if in a spasm.
Haha, this isn’t a dream.
Just now, her captain was definitely holding her, and her captain was definitely not wearing any clothes while holding her.
And what did she do?
Captain, I actually had this idea a long time ago.
I not only want to defile you, I also want to strip you naked one day and then fuss over you from head to toe.
I want to make you cry and beg for mercy from Master Xiao.
Heh, I’m definitely going to die now.
Xiao Jing twisted her neck with a creaking sound, cautiously glancing at her superior who remained silent.
Shen Chengfeng stared at the soldier who had regained his senses with a leisurely air and asked, “Completely awake now?”
Xiao Jing couldn’t help but shiver; she felt a chill run down her spine.
Shen Chengfeng lay back down, holding the small figure that had begun to tremble uncontrollably in his arms. He closed his eyes and said, “Don’t think too much. To avoid infection, in the absence of medical equipment, this is the only way to keep each other warm and sleep.”
Xiao Jing felt the warmth of his chest and carefully controlled her breathing. The firelight began to leap again, flickering in her pupils. She felt unbearably hot all over.
“Or do you have other ideas?” The man’s voice entered her ears again.
At this moment, Xiao Jing dared not have any other thoughts. She was afraid that if she acted recklessly again, the captain would slap her and she would be reduced to a pile of dust.
Shen Chengfeng opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the side of her ear. The flickering flames blurred his vision, and the entire cave suddenly fell silent, with a faint scent floating in the air.
Xiao Jing felt like she was being pricked by thorns; subconsciously, she felt that her captain’s eyes were blatantly staring at her.
“Can’t sleep?” Shen Chengfeng asked again.
Xiao Jing nodded. Her wound hurt, and there was a pair of unfriendly eyes staring at her from behind. How could she still fall asleep in this atmosphere? How big of a heart does she have?
Shen Chengfeng sat up, draped all the warm clothes over her, and said in a gentle tone, “Go to sleep.”
Xiao Jing secretly glanced at the captain, who had sat up and deliberately kept his distance, and suddenly felt a little cold.
It was pitch black outside the cave. Every now and then, nocturnal animals would walk by, but they all seemed to know that a mountain king lived there, and all the animals tried to stay away from him as much as possible.
As night deepened and the dew grew heavier, the entire cave began to cool down.
“Cold, cold,” Xiao Jing murmured in her sleep.
Shen Chengfeng opened his eyes alertly and looked at the body that was still trembling violently while clutching her clothes. He walked over and touched her forehead. Sure enough, she still had a fever.
“Captain, hug me, I’m so cold.” Whether she was still half asleep or delirious from the fever, Xiao Jing clung to his arm tightly.
Shen Chengfeng sighed, added a few more bundles of firewood to the fire, then lay down on his side, leaning against her and pulling her trembling body into his arms.
Xiao Jing leaned on his arm, and her body slowly stopped trembling.
In the corner, the tiger licked its fur pitifully, glaring at the humans who had burned down its entire den with a look of utter despair.
At dawn, the sun shone brightly, and after a night of heavy rain, the sound of dripping water could be heard throughout the forest.
Xiao Jing suddenly woke up with a start. She blinked, still seemingly a little dazed.
The entire cave was quiet, as if there were no other creatures around.
She slowly sat up, supporting her wound, and instinctively glanced towards the cave entrance. She softly called out, “Captain?”
No one responded.
“Roar!” The violent tiger’s roar shook the entire cave.
Xiao Jing turned her head in surprise. A tiger was proudly licking its paw, staring at her menacingly as if to tell this foolish human, “You are my breakfast.”
Her hand silently touched her sidearm, remaining constantly on guard.
Xiao Jing was both amused and exasperated. Was her captain planning to abandon her here to fend for herself? Was it all because she had touched him a couple of times last night?
At worst, I’ll let you touch it back. There’s no need to send such a delicate girl like her to feed the tiger.
Captain, you’ll be tormented by your conscience for doing this.
“Roar.” The tiger roared again, stood up, and pawed at the ground, looking proud and ready to pounce at any moment.
“What are you making a ruckus about?” A cold male voice rang out from outside the cave.
“Roar.” The tiger turned around, swished its tail twice, and looked just like a frightened little white cat, facing the wall in repentance, no longer daring to roar.
“Awake?” Shen Chengfeng walked into the cave with two wild fruits in his hands.
Xiao Jing stared in disbelief at the enormous creature huddled in the corner, her lips twitching slightly. Looking at the two corroded wounds on its back, she seemed to understand something.
The poor tiger was tortured to the point of losing its wild nature.
“Roar!” the tiger growled.
