Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Fu Jingyan's figure gradually moved away in the firelight until it completely disappeared. The adjutant's heart was filled with endless grief and self-blame. He knelt on the ground powerlessly, letting his tears and sweat mix together and drip onto the hot ground.

"Chief..." the adjutant called in a low voice, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the roar of the sea of ​​fire.

The adjutant's body seemed to be drained of all strength. His eyes gradually lost focus, and he eventually lost consciousness in a blur and slowly fell to the ground.

The air around seemed to be frozen, with only the occasional faint breathing sound coming from afar reminding people that a life-and-death struggle had just occurred here.

"Adjutant! Adjutant, how are you?"

Seeing this, one of his men rushed forward, anxiously calling out the adjutant's name.

However, the adjutant just closed his eyes and did not respond. The other soldiers also gathered around, their faces full of worry and anxiety.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence at the scene. The support team finally arrived, bringing medical equipment and manpower, and quickly engaged in the intense rescue work.

The injured teammates were carried on stretchers one by one and sent to the hospital for treatment. Those soldiers who were still able to move began to clean up the battlefield and restore order.

After several hours of hard work, the smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated and the ruins were almost cleared. However, when everyone was preparing to evacuate, a chilling discovery made them stop - Fu Jingyan was missing!

"This...how is this possible?"

A soldier shouted in shock, his voice trembling noticeably.

"Quick! Look for him! Commander Fu must still be here!"

The adjutant's men shouted hurriedly. Although he himself had just woken up from a coma, he seemed to have forgotten his fatigue and pain at this moment.

However, no matter how carefully they searched, they could not find any trace of Fu Jingyan.

The figure who always stood up at critical moments and led them into battle now seemed to have evaporated from the world.

"What...what should we do?" Everyone looked at each other, confusion and helplessness written all over their faces.

"Leave some people to continue searching for Chief Fu, and the rest of you return to the base immediately and report the situation to your superiors."

Although the adjutant's voice was weak, his tone was extremely firm. He struggled to stand up, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison and then took action according to the adjutant's orders.

Some people stayed at the scene, expanding the search range and not missing any possible clues; while the other people returned to the base with heavy hearts, because they knew that this news would have a profound impact on the entire organization.

Before leaving, everyone couldn't help but look back at the ruins ravaged by war.

They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that Fu Jingyan would return safely. However, reality is often more cruel and ruthless than imagined.

……

In the hospital corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the half-open curtains and sprinkled on the ground in patches, adding a bit of warmth to the upcoming moment of reunion.

Accompanied by medical staff, Lu Nanxu, Ji Yan and the babies were preparing for the final check-up before discharge.

The air is filled with anticipation and joy, and everyone is immersed in beautiful visions of future life.

However, fate always seems to cast its unpredictable shadow at the most unexpected moment. When Ji Yan gently held the baby and walked into the examination room step by step, Lu Nanxu's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

He glanced at the screen and felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.

The news from the other end of the phone was like a stream of cold water, instantly extinguishing the warmth and hope in his heart. Lu Nanxu's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Xin Mujing, who was standing by, keenly noticed Lu Nanxu's abnormality. He gently patted Lu Nanxu's shoulder and asked with concern: "Xu, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Nanxu slowly turned his head and looked at Xin Mujing, his voice low and heavy: "Something happened, Ayan...something went wrong when he was performing his mission, and now he is missing. Moreover, his adjutant was also seriously injured and unconscious, and is being treated in the military hospital."

Xin Mujing's face changed suddenly when he heard this. He knew the importance of Fu Jingyan to the team and the seriousness of this incident. He immediately stood up and clenched his fists, trying to suppress his anxiety and worry.

"A Xu, go over there first to understand the situation. No matter what the result is, we must be prepared to deal with it."

Xin Mujing analyzed calmly, then looked at Lu Nanxu, "And I will stay here and wait for Yanyan and the babies to finish the examination, tell them the situation, and tell them not to worry."

Lu Nanxu nodded, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Lu Nanxu took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, then turned around and strode away, revealing a kind of resolution and determination from behind.

Xin Mujing looked at Lu Nanxu's receding back and prayed silently for him in his heart, hoping that everything would have a good outcome.

……

The atmosphere in the ward was tense and solemn. Lu Nanxu walked in quickly, his face full of anxiety and concern. The adjutant on the bed, after struggling for a while, finally opened his eyes slowly, and saw Lu Nanxu's familiar and determined figure at first sight.

The adjutant (his eyes lit up, he struggled to sit up): "Mr. Lu, you're here! Go...go find the chief, he..."

Lu Nanxu quickly stepped forward, gently but firmly held the adjutant down, and said softly: "Adjutant, don't worry. I have sent the most capable people to find Ah Yan. He will be fine. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries and tell me the details of what happened."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant managed to calm down, but still couldn't hide his anxiety: "Okay, I'll tell you. Based on the latest clues, we tracked down an abandoned unfinished building in the suburbs of Beijing. It's extremely hidden, and I thought it was just an ordinary investigation point, but I didn't expect..."

At this point, the adjutant's voice trembled slightly, as if he recalled the thrilling scene at that time.

"Soon after we arrived, we discovered people who were engaging in illegal transactions. We immediately took action and wanted to catch them in one fell swoop. But those guys were not ordinary criminals at all. They were real desperadoes who shot at us without hesitation!"

Lu Nanxu clenched his fists and veins bulged, but he tried hard to control his emotions and continued to listen.

"In the fierce exchange of fire, we tried to find a breakthrough. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. They triggered the hidden bomb! In the chaos, I only remember that the leader was swept away by the shock wave of the explosion in order to protect me and disappeared..."

At this point, the adjutant's voice was choked with sobs and his eyes were red.

Lu Nanxu took a deep breath, patted the adjutant on the shoulder, and gave him silent comfort: "Adjutant, you did a good job. Ah Yan is our brother, no matter he is dead or alive, I will find him. Now, all you need to do is to rest and recuperate, and leave the rest to me."

The adjutant nodded, his eyes gleaming with trust and gratitude. He knew that Mr. Lu would never let anyone down, and he would definitely do his best to save the leader.

The ward returned to calm again, but there was an indescribable tension and expectation in the air.

Lu Nanxu stood in front of the window, staring into the distance, and silently said in his heart: "Ayan, no matter where you are, I will find you and take you home."
