The body was so exhausted that Xia Meng quickly fell asleep.

When Xia Meng woke up again, the sun was shining brightly outside the cave. Fragmented, warm sunlight poured into the cave, and you could almost see the dust floating in the golden light.

My ears have recovered, and I can faintly hear the crisp chirping of birds outside the cave, the fresh air lingering between my nose, and the rustle of branches and leaves when the breeze blows.

Everything looks so peaceful and beautiful!

such a pity...

'hiss! Pain quickly swept through Xia Meng's body. At some point, her sleeping posture changed from sitting against the mountain wall to lying flat on her back. The ground was covered with thick weeds. This was probably done by Cao Guoqiang while she was asleep. of.

The injuries on her body were like an extremely hungry beast waking up, screaming and roaring crazily, constantly tormenting her nerves.

Xia Meng held up her arms and struggled to sit up from the ground. This simple movement made her break into a cold sweat.

Xia Meng leaned against the mountain wall and scanned the entire cave. Zhu Hongwei was still asleep. Who knows where Cao Guoqiang went?

Xia Meng drank three glasses of spiritual spring water in succession. The pain in her body subsided a little and she gained some strength. Xia Meng began to bandage herself.

Almost all the injuries on Xia Meng's body were external injuries, and she was also wearing a bulletproof vest. The bullets were blocked by the bulletproof vest and did not penetrate her skin, but were deeply embedded in her flesh and blood.

But the impact of the bullet was still terrifying. Xia Meng gritted her teeth, opened her clothes, looked at the purple and black bruises on her body, and frowned secretly. When spraying the medicine, the slightest touch would cause severe pain!

By the time Cao Guoqiang came back with a few fish, Xia Meng had already taken care of his injuries.

Seeing that Xia Meng woke up, Cao Guoqiang said happily, "Comrade Xia, are you feeling better?"

"It's so nice of you to wake up!"

Xia Meng smiled weakly at Cao Guoqiang, nodded, and asked,

"Did Comrade Zhu never wake up?"

When Zhu Hongwei was mentioned, the smile on Cao Guoqiang's face because Xia Meng woke up quickly disappeared, and he said worriedly,

"Yeah, but... he had a fever last night. I used a wet towel to cool him down. When it was almost dawn, his high fever finally subsided." When he said this, Cao Guoqiang's tone finally became more relaxed.

Xia Meng observed carefully and found that Cao Guoqiang's eyes were slightly blue and black from lack of sleep, and his eyes were faintly filled with red bloodshot eyes. Although his face tried his best to look energetic, he could not hide his fatigue.

Xia Meng stood up holding the mountain wall, "Let me take a look!"

Cao Guoqiang went to help Xia Meng, but Xia Meng waved his hand and said no, and moved to Zhu Hongwei's side. Xia Meng leaned over and carefully observed Zhu Hongwei's face. Although his face was a little pale, it should be caused by excessive blood loss. It was shiny and looked peaceful. Xia Meng touched her forehead and found it was not hot.

Xia Meng checked the wound again and found that it was recovering well, with no signs of decay or inflammation.

Xia Meng turned around and said to Cao Guoqiang, who was a little nervous and with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Don't worry, he should be fine."

"Great!" Cao Guoqiang cried with joy.

"Thank you, thank you Comrade Xia," Cao Guoqiang was slow-tongued and couldn't say anything nice. He held Xia Meng's hand nervously and reverently, and kept saying,

"If it weren't for you, Hongwei and I would have died long ago. It was you who saved us. Thank you, thank you..."

Xia Meng's right hand was held tightly, she smiled and patted Cao Guoqiang's shoulder with her left hand, and said softly,

"We are comrades in arms!"

Cao Guoqiang's face was covered with runny nose and tears. Hearing this, he nodded hurriedly, "Well, we are comrades in arms!"

In the past two days, although it was Zhu Hongwei who was injured, Cao Guoqiang was also tortured mentally by guilt.

Looking at his friend lying on the ground with thin and pale cheeks and an empty right calf, Cao Guoqiang prayed countless times in his heart, hoping that it was him lying on the ground and that he was willing to trade his life for his friend's life.

At this moment, his friend survived. The huge pressure in Cao Guoqiang's heart finally dissipated, and he felt like he was alive again.

"Is this the fish you caught?" Xia Meng looked at the fish in Cao Guoqiang's hand.

Xia Meng's stomach began to growl due to the heavy physical exertion, the need for nutritional supplements due to injuries, and the fact that he hadn't eaten for more than a day.

Although there is a lot of food in the space, it is not easy to take it out in front of Cao Guoqiang.

"Well, yes," Cao Guoqiang said happily, raising the fish in his hand.

"I thought you would be hungry when you woke up. I walked around but didn't find any edible wild fruits, so I went to the river. I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of fish in the river."

Xia Meng asked with concern, "Have you encountered a crocodile?"

"No!" Cao Guoqiang said happily, "Thanks to Comrade Xia, you killed more than a dozen crocodiles in this water area yesterday, so this water area is actually clean."

Xia Meng felt relieved, "That's good."

Then, Cao Guoqiang asked Xia Meng to rest while he went to handle the fish outside the cave.

Cao Guoqiang is a child from the countryside. He has been working since he was a child. He can collect a few fish quite quickly, and he will come back soon with the collected fish.

Use washed branches to skewer the fish and grill it over the fire.

While baking, Xia Meng took out a small glass bottle from his messenger bag in front of Cao Guoqiang.

Seeing Cao Guoqiang's curious face, Xia Meng explained with a smile, "The powder inside is seasoning, and there is salt in it."

Cao Guoqiang exclaimed softly in disbelief, "Comrade Xia, you have prepared so many things."

Xia Meng smiled and said nothing, then sprinkled the seasoning evenly on the grilled fish. Soon, the grilled fish gave off a strange and overbearing fragrance.

This is a special seasoning for grilled fish that Xia Meng specially found in the space, and the taste is naturally excellent.

Perhaps because he was hungry, or perhaps because the aroma of the grilled fish was too strong, Zhu Hongwei woke up just when the grilled fish was about to be ready.

When Cao Guoqiang saw that Zhu Hongwei was awake, he immediately walked over happily and asked nervously and concernedly,

"Hongwei, how are you?"

Zhu Hongwei smiled lightly at Cao Guoqiang, "Don't worry, you won't die!"

Cao Guoqiang's eyes were red, and he wanted to say a few soft words, but he was used to making trouble, so he only said one sentence,

"All you have left is your stubbornness."

After hearing this, Zhu Hongwei couldn't help but laugh again, his chest vibrated, and the pain made his face subconsciously show pain.

Xia Meng hurried forward and put the kettle to Zhu Hongwei's mouth, "Comrade Zhu, drink some water."

When Zhu Hongwei saw Xia Meng, his eyes lit up and he said gratefully, "Comrade Xia, thank you."

Xia Meng, "We are all comrades-in-arms, as we should be."

The kettle contained spiritual spring water that Xia Meng had quietly replaced. Zhu Hongwei took a few sips and felt much more energetic.

"We grilled fish," Cao Guoqiang came over with a grilled fish and asked Zhu Hongwei, "Do you want to eat some?"

The current conditions are simple, and with the degree of Zhu Hongwei's injury, it is definitely not suitable for eating grilled fish, but they have no conditions to do anything else for Zhu Hongwei, so they can only force him to eat this.

Zhu Hongwei looked at the golden and crispy grilled fish baked in Cao Guoqiang's hands, smelled it, and praised, "It smells so good!"
