Chapter 775 Don’t dare to take risks
Shen Lu smiled awkwardly.
She didn't expect that the road back to the pond would be so difficult to walk after the rain.
And it's so cold now that steam is coming out of her mouth when she speaks.
However, Shen Lu gritted his teeth and persevered.
Although it was difficult, she had great perseverance.
Jiang Heping did not come with them after all, and was sent back by the regiment commander to arrange the next task.
Mount Ailao is not so easy to develop.
This is a completely undeveloped area. If we want to station troops here in the future, we have to make careful arrangements.
There are still many things to do, so there is no need for both the commander and the deputy commander to be trapped in Mount Ailao.
Jiang Heping still listened to the advice.
He knew that he was already injured and it would be difficult for him to march quickly.
It would be better to stay and provide logistical support.
He is also very familiar with Mount Ailao, and the team leader and others can feel more at ease with him taking care of the logistics.
Shen Lu became the only one who held the team back, but no one dared to say anything to her.
Because her medicine is really effective and her medical skills are really good.
There are also other people's bodyguards, who, together with Mr. Lu's bodyguards, are enough to protect their safety.
Neither the Special Security Department nor the garrison troops need to worry about it.
Apart from the fact that Shen Lu herself suffered a little, there was really nothing to complain about her.
Although Lu Xingye felt distressed, he still helped her collect as many medicinal herbs as possible.
He also discussed with Shen Lu: "You have made an indelible contribution to the successful destruction of the illegal laboratory this time, so we can propose conditions later."
Shen Lu is not good at these complicated things. To be precise, she didn't think that much.
But Lu Xingye is different.
He is an old hand. When Shen Lu expressed her desire for the wild medicinal herbs from Mount Ailao, Lu Xingye had already thought of the follow-up for her.
Since there is bound to be a garrison here, why can't we take advantage of the army to gain some benefits for ourselves?
Didn’t Shen Lu agree to cooperate with the army before?
Then shouldn't the military also show corresponding sincerity?
After listening to Lu Xingye's advice, Shen Lu just gave him a thumbs up: "You businessmen are really smart!"
In fact, Shen Lu wanted to say, what a dirty heart.
But since it was for her, Shen Lu definitely couldn't say that.
"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Xingye raised his eyebrows.
He probably knew what the little girl was thinking, but Lu Xingye didn't care.
He didn't plot against Shen Lu, but was always scheming for her. Isn't that good?
Although the journey was hard, Shen Lu did dig up a lot of rare medicinal herbs.
The people from the Special Security Department were the fastest to arrive at the pool.
They followed the secret passage in the cave to chase Yin He and the fleeing Sakura people.
Captain Hao stayed behind to guard outside the cave.
They didn't go in for the time being because Shen Lu said the toxins from the dream grass fruit inside had not been cleaned up yet.
There are still some things in the cave that need to be cleaned up.
The team leader and his men are not professionals, so they will stay here first and wait for the arrival of professionals.
There is also the pond mentioned by Jiang Heping.
"What does the water monster in the pool look like?"
Captain Hao looked at Shen Lu and Lu Xingye.
After all, they had come to the pond before, so they should have some understanding of the creatures in the pond, right?
According to Lao Jiang, it was Miss Shen's bodyguard who went down to rescue people.
"Shen Jiu, you tell me." Shen Lu called out his name.
Shen Jiu went down to rescue people and had a brief encounter with the water monster.
His description is the most credible.
"The water monster was about a meter long, with sharp teeth and a pointed mouth. That's why the soldier who got hit in the waist was injured."
“And it’s incredibly powerful.”
Shen Jiu was able to escape quickly, thanks to his swimming ability and agility.
Also, his weapon was quite powerful, and he hit the water monster.
"That water monster should be man-eating and extremely harmful."
Although Shen Jiu was not afraid of this kind of thing, he also felt that this water monster was very dangerous.
"This pool of water is deep in Mount Ailao. It generally doesn't bother tourists from outside. In fact, there's no need to provoke it unless necessary."
As for the fact that it has already cost a soldier's life, what can be done?
Kill it for revenge?
That would require just blowing up the pond.
Or drain the water.
In the water, the monster's attack must be powerful.
But if the pond is gone, it will just be a strange-looking fish, a stranded one at that.
"No, if we stay here, the water monster in the pond will become a dangerous species." Captain Hao also had his own concerns.
"Then it's up to you. We can't participate in the follow-up anyway." Shen Jiu spread his hands.
He was just giving genuine advice.
However, there are many talented people in the army, and they should be able to deal with a small water monster.
"I still have to thank Comrade Shen Jiu." In fact, Captain Hao had heard from the soldiers brought by Jiang Heping that Comrade Shen Jiu was very skilled.
He wanted to ask Shen Jiu for help, but changed his mind and gave up.
He is not his soldier and has an employer, so there is no reason to help him.
Moreover, they have already helped us once and saved their people. It would be too much to trouble them again.
Judging from Shen Jiu's attitude, he doesn't want to care about the water monster in the pond.
Captain Hao didn't say much, and Shen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually didn't want to go into the water again.
This pond gave him a very bad feeling, even the water here was not clean.
Shen Lu saw what Shen Jiu was thinking and comforted him: "Don't worry, Shen Jiu. If the army wants to take action against the water monster, they will definitely have ways to do it. We won't let anyone take risks again."
This also reminded Captain Hao.
Indeed, there are many ways to deal with water monsters, and there is no need to put people at risk.
He just misjudged it for a moment.
They also want to recover the body of the young soldier who was killed by the water monster.
They also want to give an explanation to the families of the martyrs.
Shen Lu and the others came along just to collect more medicinal herbs. Now that they were stationed here, Captain Hao had to wait here for Jiang Heping to send someone.
Shen Lu and the others can leave first.
Captain Hao was worried about their safety and sent a small team to escort them.
Although Shen Lu and his companions encountered some setbacks along the way, they managed to get out of Mount Ailao safely.
This trip took five days, and Shen Lu suffered a lot.
Lu Xingye also looked a little haggard.
They stayed in a small town near Mount Elau and had a good rest for the night.
Since Mount Ailao is a scenic spot after all, the nearby towns have developed quite well.
In this way, the hotel they booked was pretty good.
However, there was a slight disagreement when booking the room.
In a tourist town, there are not enough rooms.
Only three rooms were booked.
Song Hanzhang had already left. He gained a lot from this experience and he and Shen Lu exchanged contact information.
I hope to keep in touch with her after returning to the imperial capital.
We can discuss medical skills frequently in the future.
Shen Lu was not averse to Song Hanzhang and did not reject him.
Compared with Song Kezhen, Song Hanzhang can be regarded as the most promising son of the Song family.
He is also a very good person, and there is no psychological burden in exchanging medical knowledge with such a person.
Right now, Shen Lu and the others only need to rest for one night before returning to the imperial capital.
