When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

Chapter 252: Live to see people, die to see corpses

But her eyes swept across every face, but she didn't find Qin Zhao, and she couldn't even find Sheng Gang.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart, and my back felt cold.

Commander Yang, who was stationed at the outpost, personally received Ning Ying.

"Comrade Ning, thank you for delivering the medicine to the outpost when our soldiers needed it most."

Ning Ying looked at him steadily: "Chief, I want to know where Qin Zhao is."

"Comrade Ning, I'm sorry, this is a military secret."

"Then can I meet Sheng Gang?"

Commander Yang thought for a moment and said, "Shenggang has been informed that he is injured. Please follow me."

Ning Ying met Sheng Gang in the simple clinic built at the outpost.

His head was wrapped in heavy gauze and his arms and legs were in plaster casts.

As soon as he saw Ning Ying, he was obviously a little excited, but when his eyes fell on the leader behind her, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

But even if he didn't say anything, Ning Ying had already guessed most of it.

"Brother Gangzi, you should take good care of your injuries first. When we find Qin Zhao, I will take you home together."

Sheng Gang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Ying, you must find Brother Zhao."

Commander Yang glared at him fiercely, and when he saw that the matter could no longer be concealed, he told Ning Ying the truth.

"Comrade Ning, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Qin Zhao."

"Did he encounter an accident while on duty?"

"Comrade Qin Zhao has successfully completed the mission, but an accident occurred on the way back."

"Commander, what does an accident mean?"

"We don't know the details because the people who accompanied him didn't come back either."

Ning Ying's heart slowly sank, the blood in her body flowed backwards, and even her fingers were cold and stiff.

After a long while, she took a breath and said, "You mean... he is now missing, alive or dead?"

Seeing her expression, Commander Yang comforted her: "Comrade Ning, to be honest with you, Qin Zhao has been missing for half a month. There are some things... you still need to be mentally prepared."

Their outpost was located at the foot of a mountain. The area where Qin Zhao was carrying out his mission was steep and full of wild animals.

If the person is still alive, he will definitely send out a flare.

But there has been no news for half a month, which means the person is no longer here.

In this case, the corpses might have been eaten by wild beasts.

Ning Ying didn't believe that Qin Zhao was gone.

He once promised himself that he would come back safely.

She clenched her fingers and said in a loud voice: "Commander, please let me join the team and let me participate in the search for Qin Zhao!"

"Comrade Ning, I understand how you feel, but the army has its own rules."

"Commander, rules are dead, but people are alive. The most important thing right now is to find Qin Zhao, and I promise I won't hold anyone back!"

Commander Yang thought for a while and said, "Comrade Ning, the place where Qin Zhao disappeared is the border between the enemy and us. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. I have to hold a meeting to discuss this matter."

"Then I will wait for good news from Commander Yang."

While Commander Yang was in a meeting, Ning Ying quietly called the family compound using the sentry post's phone.

She knew that she was overstepping the line by doing this, but for Qin Zhao's safety, she had to make an exception.

After all, this concerns Qin Zhao's life and death, and every minute and every second cannot be wasted.

The beeping sound of the phone made Ning Ying's heart beat faster.

It was not until then that she realized how tormenting waiting could be.

"Hello, who is it?"

Ning Ying didn't expect that the person who answered the phone was Liu Fengyi. She covered the microphone and didn't say anything for a long time.

Liu Fengyi seemed a little impatient and hung up the phone.

The soldiers at the outpost have arrived.

Ning Ying knew that she had lost her chance, so she hung up the phone and said calmly, "I wanted to report to my family that I'm safe, but they're not here."

The other party looked at her and said after a while: "Sister-in-law, I admire Captain Qin's character and hope that he can return to the team as soon as possible."

The implication was that he would not tell the leader any more.

Ning Ying bowed deeply to him: "Thank you!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, the other party hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, I advise you not to look for her anymore. Go back early to prepare for Brother Zhao's funeral."

Ning Ying realized that the other party should know something, and immediately pleaded: "Little comrade, Qin Zhao is not only my lover, he is also a veteran who defended his country. Even if... there is only one bone left in his body, I will find a way to bring him home. Please help me, okay?"

The other party looked outside the sentry box and saw that no one was coming, so he lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, actually our leader asked the Qin family for instructions last week. They said they didn't want to cause trouble for the troops, nor did they want to sacrifice more comrades for Captain Qin. What's more, the place where Captain Qin disappeared is the border area between the two sides, which is easy to cause new troubles."

Ning Ying's heart skipped a beat. It was impossible that the old man would not care about Qin Zhao's life or death.

Unless the call is answered by someone else.

Thinking about the fact that the person who answered the phone when she called the Qin family just now was Liu Fengyi, Ning Ying became more and more certain of her guess.

It must be Liu Fengyi and Qin Chuhuai who are behind this.

She was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she wanted to go back and smash the mother and son's heads.

"Comrade, thank you."

Ning Ying waited quietly for the meeting to end.

In fact, she had already guessed the result, but at this critical juncture, she couldn't be impulsive.

When Commander Yang saw her standing outside like a sculpture, motionless, he was stunned at first, and then he took off his military coat and handed it to her.

"Comrade Ning, this place is not like Beijing, you must take care of yourself."

Ning Ying's limbs were obviously a little stiff, and it was not until she arrived at Commander Yang's tent and drank a jar of hot water that her body temperature slowly recovered.

Chief Yang looked at her red nose and said reluctantly, "Comrade Ning, as Qin Zhao's family member, if you have any requests, just tell me. The organization will try its best to meet your requirements."

Ning Ying looked at him steadily: "Commander, I don't want anything, I only want Qin Zhao."

"Comrade Ning, you may not understand our situation very well..."

"I know that this place is a dangerous place with rugged mountains and wild animals. Once we are discovered by the enemy, it will easily lead to new conflicts and even more casualties."

"It's good that you understand. Qin Zhao is a good comrade. We all admire him. I will ask my superiors for a..."

"Commander Yang, I don't want merit, I want Qin Zhao. If I can't find him, I can't go back."

"Then what do you mean?"

"If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"
