“Was it fast?” a doctor asked.

“Very fast,” another doctor said with a smile. “Sure enough, different realms lead to different horizons.”

After confirming that the soldiers were recovering, w.a.n.g Yao left the hospital. He spent the day in the famous tourist city with Hu Zhengzhou and Su Zhixing.

“Excuse me, Dr. w.a.n.g, what on earth was that insect?” Hu Zhengzhou asked.

“They are just insects, but most of them we have never seen,” w.a.n.g Yao explained. “After a long period of training and rearing, the people who raise these insects have a good understanding of their habits and other details.”

“Are there people in the country who are good at that?” Hu Zhengzhou asked.

“This area of Miao Jiang has some knowledgeable people,” w.a.n.g Yao replied. “Since your troops are stationed here, have you not heard anything about it?”

“I have heard a little, but I haven’t seen it with my own eyes before,” Hu Zhengzhou said. “I a.s.sumed it was just a rumor. I didn’t know how powerful these things were until I saw them. So, how do we protect ourselves against them?”

“You can take herbs with special scents that can repel poisonous insects with you, but insects are generally specially domesticated and have a strong resistance to most herbal medicines,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Once their eggs enter a human body, it will cause great trouble. The soldier just now had eggs in his body. Luckily, it had been found in time, so the eggs had only been inside him for a short period. In another couple of days, the eggs would have hatched in his body and devoured his organs as they continued to reproduce in his body. He would have died.”

“Will these things not spread?” Hu Zhengzhou asked.

“They will spread, mainly through physical and blood contact, but the vast majority of insects have reproductive limits,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “After several generations, they will lose the ability to reproduce. A very small number of them will break through that limit. They are the terrifying ones.”

“Hey, Brother-in-law, you live in the north, so how do you know so much about this thing? Have you ever came into contact with it before?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes, my earliest contact with them was a patient who had been infected with parasites because he had consumed raw seafood,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “The parasites were all over his body and in his organs. His life was on the line. Those parasites were not like these insects, which had been selectively bred. They were wild ones, so there was no limit to their reproductive abilities. However, the situation was similar.”

The situation he was talking about how concerned Wei Hai, whom he had met when his pharmacist’s journey had just begun. Wei Hai had been seriously ill back then, and w.a.n.g Yao’s medical skills were far inferior to what they were now. It had taken a lot of effort to treat Wei Hai. If it had happened now, it would have been much easier to treat, and Wei Hai would have suffered a lot less.

“I would like to ask you something,” Su Zhixing said. “If it infringes on your confidentiality regulations, you don’t have to answer it.”

“Ask away,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“What the h.e.l.l do those guys want to do?” Su Zhixing asked.

“They must have found something in the frontier forests,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “There have been more frequent activities lately, and it’s not only them. A group of domestic forces has also joined in.”

“In the forest?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes.” w.a.n.g Yao nodded his head and said, “In the forest, there are precious animals, plants, minerals, and treasures. Those are only a few of the valuable things inside it.”

“The higher-ups have made their decision,” Su Zhixing said. “Our troops will complete this series of tasks. No matter how many times they come at us, we will be the ones to intercept them. Next time I’ll lead the team!”

“Are you in good health?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“No problem, I’m at full strength,” Su Zhixing replied.

“I have to rush back before October,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Hmm, why?” Su Zhixing asked.

“My sister is getting married,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

“Ah, can you stay here until then?” Su Zhixing asked.

“If nothing happens, it should be possible,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Nothing will happen,” Su Zhixing said. “How could there be so many accidents?”

…

In a tropical forest near the border in southern Yunnan…

“Do you have to go again?” a man asked.

“Yes, I’ve already accepted the $7 million reward,” another man replied.

“They have already noticed after our consecutive missions,” the first man said. “We’ve sacrificed elite fighters every time we go. We are facing one of the most powerful countries in the world where mercenaries are forbidden.”

“Do you remember why are we doing it?” the other man asked.

“For profit,” the first man replied.

“That’s right, as long as they give us enough money, even if we have to charge to the capital to kill someone, we will do it,” the other man said.

“Understood. I will gather the people,” the first man said.

“We have to call upon all those people,” the other man said.

“I know,” the first man said.

A Caucasian man with a beard looked at the endless forest in front of him. Does that kind of thing really exist?

This was a forbidden place for human beings. He had already led his team into it several times. Afterward, they would come back bruised and battered. They had to face well-equipped, well-trained fighters, as well as terrible jungle creatures.

Money is something that causes people to go insane!

…

Hu Chengzhou and Su Zhixing invited w.a.n.g Yao to eat the most authentic local dishes at a restaurant in a city in southern Yunnan.

“How is it? Are you used to it?” Hu Chengzhou asked

“Fortunately, I am not particularly picky about what I eat,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a laugh.

To be honest, the taste of these dishes seemed a little strange to him.

“Brother-in-law, have you ever used a gun?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes, I shot a gun a few times in college,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

“Would you like to try again?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Sure,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

Even with all his skills, he still had a childhood affection for guns. He used to have b.l.o.o.d.y dreams of fighting on the battlefield with guns.

“I’ll take you to the base to try it tomorrow,” Su Zhixing said.

“Is that appropriate?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Yes, it is appropriate,” Mu Chengzhou said with a laugh.

“That’s good,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

The three men drank a little wine. After eating, they returned to the hospital. The three soldiers were all recovering well.

“The toxins and insects have already been cleared,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Next, they just need rest and time to recover.”

He had used ointment for continuing life on the two soldiers who received superficial injuries. The magic of that miracle ointment had received nonstop praises from the military doctors. The superficial wounds had already begun to scab, and it had only been a day. It was a “G.o.dly ointment.”

“I have left behind directions to make the prescription,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “This prescription plays the role of consolidating the corporeity.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to take on that task,” Mu Chengzhou said.

“Captain, shall we go back to the base?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Can we stay another night and go back tomorrow?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Sure,” Mu Chengzhou said.

They stayed in the army hostel that night. Early the next morning, after visiting the three soldiers, whose appearances had obviously improved, the three went to the army camp situated in the mountains.

On the bus, Su Zhixing thanked w.a.n.g Yao again. “Brother-in-law, thank you very much for this time!”

“We are all family, so you don’t need to be so polite,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

“Yes, we’re all family, Brother-in-law,” Su Zhixing said. “When you enter our army base this time, you will have to teach our soldiers something.”

“What do I have to teach them?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Kung fu fighting methods,” Su Zhixing replied.

“The things I have learned may not be suitable for you guys,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a laugh. He had said this more than once.

“Can you just try to teach them something?” Su Zhixing answered with the same question.

“OK,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Let’s go and practice shooting the guns,” Su Zhixing said.

w.a.n.g Yao nodded and followed him. They soon arrived at a shooting range. Some soldiers had already prepared the weapons, which included pistols, rifles, and sniper rifles.

“Want to give it a try?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Can you teach me how to use it first?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“OK, watch closely.” Su Zhixing slowly demonstrated how to use each gun. He would load, c.o.c.k, and shoot. “Do you want to try it now?”

“OK,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

He first grabbed the pistol and raised it. With a click, he hit the distant target. “It is kind of interesting.” He kept shooting. A shuttle of bullets soon ran out.

“Huh?” Mu Chengzhou, who was standing to the side, found something amiss. He picked up the binoculars.

“What’s wrong?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Nothing. Go on,” Mu Chengzhou said.

w.a.n.g Yao picked up the automatic rifle beside him. He aimed and pulled the trigger. Sparks flew. Clanking and tinkling sounds rang out as the bullets. .h.i.t the steel target.

“Impressive!” Mu Chengzhou put down his binoculars and looked at w.a.n.g Yao beside him. “Did you really only shoot guns in college?”

“Yes, I have only shot maybe a dozen bullets before,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
