On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 434 Going Mad, Hallucinating

Luo Haiqiang walked forward with a strange expression.

He clearly had his eyes open, but his posture made it seem as if he were sleepwalking, unable to see anything.

This surprised everyone present.

Xu Hui realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to grab Luo Haiqiang.

"Haiqiang, where are you going?"

"Captain Xu?"

Luo Haiqiang looked at Xu Hui with a blank expression, "They're calling me, we have to go and save them."

"them?"

Xu Hui listened intently, but heard no voices.

"Who is it? Who is calling us?"

"It's them, the comrades who came on the mission before. They got stuck and asked us to help them."

"We have to get over there, Captain Xu. You can hear how loudly they're shouting. The situation is too critical. We have to get over there immediately, Captain Xu."

Luo Haiqiang grabbed Xu Hui's arm with his other hand, his tone urgent and impatient.

Xu Hui was completely confused by Luo Haiqiang's words.

He looked at the others, "Did you hear that?"

The voice Luo Haiqiang spoke.

Did they all hear it?

Everyone present shook their heads.

Jiang Tang walked over from the side, reached out and grabbed Luo Haiqiang's wrist, raising his hand.

"His wound is infected."

She was referring to the finger on which Luo Haiqiang had been bitten by a leech.

It was only then that Xu Hui noticed that Luo Haiqiang's fingers were swollen like radishes.

"Chen Jie!"

Chen Jie quickly ran over and looked at Luo Haiqiang's hand with a blank expression. "I disinfected it, I disinfected the wound with alcohol, and I also gave him penicillin!"

How could it be so swollen?

Xu Hui didn't know either.

"Is it because his hand is inflamed that he's experiencing auditory hallucinations?"

Xu Hui asked Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang nodded.

“We didn’t hear anything, only he did. That proves that the leeches in the water can cause hallucinations.”

Moreover, the hallucinogenic effect is extremely strong.

Xu Hui nodded, agreeing with the logic.

He forcibly stopped Luo Haiqiang, preventing him from moving forward.

Luo Haiqiang refused to stay. He questioned Xu Hui, asking why he didn't go to save his comrades when they were screaming so pitifully.

"You heard wrong."

Xu Hui spoke up.

Luo Haiqiang denied it even more, saying, "They're calling over there, Captain Xu, listen, they're calling my name, calling me..."

Before he could finish uttering his name, Luo Haiqiang fainted.

Of course, he didn't faint on his own; he was knocked unconscious.

The person who knocked him unconscious was naturally Jiang Tang.

Xu Hui and the others didn't make a move, but Jiang Tang made her move without them having to tell her to.

The best way to persuade someone who is hallucinating is to confuse them.

Like Xu Hui, reasoning with him is pointless, and there's also the possibility that Luo Haiqiang's current abnormal state could lead to unnecessary conflict between the two.

Now that they've knocked me unconscious, it's much easier.

Luo Haiqiang, who had fainted, was helped into the tent by others, and Chen Jie went in to check on his condition.

Two people were left inside to watch over him.

The rest of the people were talking outside.

Luo Haiqiang's situation is still somewhat frightening.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, how long will his condition last?"

Unable to grasp the situation, Xu Hui could only turn to Jiang Tang for advice.

Jiang Tang was also undecided, "Let's wait until midnight and see if his inflammation goes down."

If the inflammation subsides, the auditory hallucinations should not recur.

If the inflammation doesn't subside, then it's hard to say.

However, it's surprising that the leeches in that stream were so poisonous. While talking outside, the group reached a consensus: they absolutely must not touch the stream water again.

It turned out like this after being bitten by just one leech.

If you were bitten by a dozen or dozens of birds, how many hallucinations would you experience?
Everyone thought of this.

Xu Hui's expression was somewhat solemn. He couldn't help but wonder if the twelve teams that had gone into the mountains before had also encountered the same situation as Luo Haiqiang, which led to their complete annihilation.

"Leech in the streams are not the only deadly creatures in the mountains."

Jiang Tang spoke up.

Xu Hui came to his senses.

They noticed that Jiang Tang had slowly stood up and was walking to the side.

Following Jiang Tang's figure, they discovered that, without them noticing, a circle of wolves had surrounded their camp!

"alert."

He stood up instantly, grabbed the gun beside him, and aimed it at the wolves on the perimeter.

The moment Deng Ping saw the wolves, she immediately shrank into the tent, hiding at the tent entrance and watching Jiang Tang and the wolves in the woods.

"Where did they come from? I didn't sense them at all!"

Deng Ping was asking Jiang Tang this question.

She was completely bewildered and found it all very strange.

It is clearly illogical that a rabbit spirit could not sense the approach of its natural enemy.

Jiang Tang turned her head and glanced at Deng Ping, who was hiding in the tent with only her head sticking out. She let out a soft "uh" and said in a very light tone, "It's very simple, because you've become dull."

"What do you mean?"

Deng Ping was unconvinced.

Jiang Tang didn't say anything more to her.

She turned around and looked at the wolf in front of her.

Actually, it wasn't just Deng Ping who became dull; they all became dull as well.

This wasn't something they changed on their own initiative; rather, something here is influencing them.

This made them much less sensitive in all aspects, including movement, smell, and hearing.

That's why she only noticed the wolves' presence after they got close.

This place was much more dangerous than she had imagined.

The wolf pack was still watching them menacingly from outside.

Their crisis is not yet resolved.

Jiang Tang pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked up at the pack of wolves in front of her.

She tried to understand their language.

But she discovered that she couldn't understand it at all!
This is outrageous.

There were about ten wolves in the surrounding woods. Jiang Tang couldn't communicate with them, so she had to deal with them by force.

She picked up some burning firewood from the nearby fire and waved it in front of her.

Upon seeing the firelight, the wolves instinctively retreated.

It's just that we haven't gone far.

The wolves kept their eyes on them, crouching low, poised to attack.

Jiang Tang took out a dagger.

Xu Hui and his men also attached daggers to the front of their guns.

In close combat, to conserve bullets, using a bayonet is more economical.

A long howl, like that of a nightjar, suddenly echoed through the mountains and forests, and the wolves, which had been holding back, suddenly charged forward.

Deng Ping shrank back and hid inside the tent.

She was acutely aware of her own limitations, and at this point, staying put was the best way to help.

This is indeed the case for outsiders as well.

Jiang Tang had a dagger in her hand and a crossbow on her wrist.

She pressed the switch, and the crossbow bolt flew towards the charging wolf.

Those wolves aren't stupid; they actually dodge when something flies towards them.

Indeed, he is the smartest wolf in the forest.

Unfortunately, they encountered fully armed, battle-hardened warriors.

When humans and wolves fight each other to the death, even the fiercest wolves are no match for Xu Hui and his companions.

Jiang Tang and his group had just dealt with the wolves that were besieging them and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when they heard Deng Ping's voice coming from inside the tent.

"Luo Haiqiang, where are you going?"
