Even if I'm a useless bum at Whampoa Military Academy, I'll be invincible in the War of Re

Xiao Hubei led the way, crouching low as he darted into the narrow alley of the concession. Xiao Jianyun and five assault team members followed closely behind, crossbows in their palms, moving swiftly along the wall.

The sky was beginning to lighten when the sound of police shoes from the concession came from the alley entrance. The group of men immediately pressed themselves against the mottled stone gate wall, barely breathing. The policeman's flashlight swept across the alley entrance, just barely brushing past the corners of their clothes.

"Sir, Renji Hospital is just ahead on the left. The police come to patrol regularly, and there are two foreign guards at the entrance!"

Xiao Hubei leaned close to Xiao Jianyun's ear, his voice barely audible, pointing with his finger at the Western-style building at the alley entrance, its cold white lights shining brightly, his eyes filled with urgency.

Xiao Jianyun raised his hand and pressed him down, his gaze sweeping over the iron fence of the hospital wall, then glancing at the pale light on the horizon—it would be dawn in half an hour at most, and they had to finish quickly.

Because the curfew was still in effect, the area around the hospital was deserted, and the two Belarusian guards were drowsy.

Xiao Jianyun knew that if he wanted to get the seriously injured Battalion Commander Yang out, he would have to deal with all the guards in the hospital.

Before that, the patrol officers who frequently loiter around must be eliminated, otherwise they will definitely blow their whistles to warn others if they don't see the White Russian guard post.

Xiao Jianyun quickly came up with an action plan. He used sign language to signal Liu Wei to take two team members to deal with the patrol officers, while he took two other people to deal with the gatekeeper.

To eliminate the gate guards without them noticing, a frontal assault would be too risky; the only option was to scale the wall.

The hospital's three-meter-high wall, which might be able to protect ordinary people, was practically useless in front of Xiao Jianyun.

He led two team members around to the side where they were being carried. The two team members squatted down, and Xiao Jianyun climbed up first by forming a human pyramid. Then he stretched out his leg to help the other two climb over the wall and successfully enter the courtyard.

The three then formed a combat team and crept up behind the sentry.

Once inside, I found there were three sentry posts, and another one was sitting in the guard post, dozing off.

Xiao Jianyun first reached in and twisted the sentry's neck with his hands. After that, he gave sign language to the two team members, and then the three of them worked together to do the same to take down the two sentries.

Two team members stood at the gate, disguised as sentries, waiting for Liu Wei and the others to arrive, and Xiao Hubei was able to enter through the gate.

Fifteen minutes later, Liu Wei and his two companions finished their business and killed the patrolman who often loitered around.

After the group reunited, Xiao Jianyun left one person to keep watch, and led by Xiao Hubei, headed straight for the inpatient building.

Inside the emergency room, due to the rapid deterioration of Yang Ruifu's condition, the surgery originally scheduled for the daytime was about to take place.

Under the operating lights, his left leg was swollen and thick due to shrapnel infection, the skin was an abnormal red, the swollen flesh was taut and shiny, the high fever made his face flushed and his consciousness confused, and he kept groaning.

Su Wanqing gripped the scalpel and said in a deep voice, "Amputation is necessary immediately. The shrapnel carried bacteria, causing a severe infection and the patient has a persistent high fever. Failure to amputate will lead to sepsis, which could be life-threatening. We cannot take the risk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the operating room door was violently pushed open, and Xiao Jianyun rushed in with two special forces members, followed by Xiao Hubei, while three others stood guard outside.

The two assistants screamed in fright, but Xiao Jianyun coldly shouted, "Shut up, or I'll kill you!"

Su Wanqing's face was deathly pale, and her legs were trembling uncontrollably, but she still tried to remain calm and at least didn't scream, which made Xiao Jianyun think more highly of her.

Seeing that he had frightened his two assistants, Xiao Jianyun's cold gaze swept over Su Wanqing:

"I'm very sorry, the surgery has to be stopped, we need to take the patient away immediately."

Su Wanqing roughly guessed their identities from Xiao Jianyun and the others' attire, especially Xiao Hubei, who was even wearing a German-equipped division uniform. She wasn't intimidated by Xiao Jianyun's aura and forced herself to remain calm, saying:

"I don't care why you're in such a hurry to take the patient away, but the patient's condition is very dangerous. If surgery isn't performed immediately, the patient's life is in danger. If you forcibly take the patient away, they won't live more than three days."

Xiao Jianyun remained unmoved, his expression as cold as steel. He reached into his combat pack and pulled out a sealed metal box—the emergency medication Zhao Yunwen had given him before the trip. Inside were several vials of penicillin, a sterile syringe, and antibacterial ointment; the gleaming silver syringes shone coldly under the operating lights.

Su Wanqing's gaze suddenly fixed on the injection, her pupils contracted sharply, her face filled with shock, and her heart churned with turmoil:

Penicillin! This is a miracle drug that I've only ever seen in foreign literature. It's a hundred times more precious than gold and it's never seen on the market. Even top hospitals only have a few scattered samples. How could he possibly have it?

She blurted out:

"This is penicillin? How do you have this! This medicine is more expensive than gold, and it's not even available in China!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Xiao Jianyun gave a cold shout, slamming the syringe, injection kit, and ointment down beside her, his tone brooking no argument:

"Use it on him right now! Quickly! Take him and leave immediately afterward; we don't have time to waste with you!"

Forced by that chilling aura of killing intent, Su Wanqing dared not hesitate. Her fingertips trembled, but her movements were swift. She grabbed a sterile syringe, tore open the syringe seal, and precisely drew out the medicine by inserting the needle into the vial. She quickly flicked the syringe to expel any air bubbles. Then, she pulled over Yang Ruifu's uninfected right gluteus maximus muscle, quickly wiped the skin with a sterile cotton pad for disinfection, pinched the muscle with her fingertips, and forcefully inserted the needle at a 90-degree angle, injecting the medicine in one smooth motion. After removing the needle, she immediately pressed the puncture site tightly with a cotton pad.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds. She then grabbed the antibacterial ointment, thickly applied it to Yang Ruifu's swollen wound on his left leg, and simply covered and secured it with sterile gauze.

"alright!"

Su Wanqing clutched the gauze, gasping for breath as she cried out. She then added:

"The patient just finished receiving anti-inflammatory medication and still needs observation and professional, meticulous care. Long-distance transport could easily worsen the condition, and your careless handling..."

Xiao Jianyun understood, and for Yang Ruifu's safety, he said in a very domineering manner:

"Then come with us; we can take care of the wounded along the way."

Su Wanqing asked reflexively:

"Where to?"

"Kunshan!"

"That far?! Let me get ready."

Su Wanqing did not refuse out of fear. Since she could not stop the big, clumsy man from taking the patient away, she was willing to go along and take care of the patient for the patient's safety.

The patient's safety is the top priority; after all, it is a precious life, and she cannot stand idly by, even if it is risky.

Xiao Jianyun's expression softened considerably. He hadn't expected Su Wanqing to be so composed, so he lowered his tone and said:

"No need to prepare, there's no time. We will ensure your safety."

After Xiao Jianyun finished speaking, he waved his hand and was about to lift the person up. Su Wanqing quickly gave instructions from the side, and two assistants also came over to help.

They found a hospital-grade stretcher, attached ropes, and the two team members were able to lift it up, making movement much easier.

Su Wanqing carried her medical kit and followed to take care of him. Before leaving, Xiao Jianyun said to his two assistants:

"Pretend you've been knocked unconscious. If anyone asks about it later, just say that masked men kidnapped the doctor and patient."

The two assistants knew this was to protect themselves, and one of them, quick-witted, immediately lay down on the bed.

The other person followed suit, leaned to the ground, found it was a bit cold, and climbed onto the bed as well, showing a clever little trick.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xiao Jianyun coldly shouted:

"Set off!"

Xiao Hubei followed on the other side to take care of Yang Ruifu, while two team members led the way. Two others served as substitutes, and the group quickly left the hospital and disappeared into the misty morning fog.
