Chapter 819: Chapter 547: The Bickering between the Two (First Update)

Shit! It hurts!

The excruciating pain made Jing Youlan cry out involuntarily, yet Yang Yuebin and the others could only fret from above.

"Are you injured or not, just say something!" Because it was too deep, the people standing above couldn’t see the situation below.

However, based on what Yang Yuebin and the others knew about Jing Youlan, he wouldn’t cry out unless the pain reached a certain threshold.

He must be injured, and severely, right?

"I’m fine." After what felt like ages, Jing Youlan’s strained voice finally rang out. Yet it didn’t sound like he was fine. He continued, "It’s just that a broken rebar has gone through my shoulder; guess I’m just too lucky." He managed to land right on it. It seemed he should have bought a lottery ticket before coming. Maybe he could have won a few million for pocket change.

What a pity!

"Can you get up?" one of the soldiers asked, their voice tinged with concern.

"Probably not." With one hand, he wouldn’t be able to climb up; Jing Youlan’s face wore a bitter smile; he looked around for a way to get up more easily.

"Youlan, wait there, we’ll pull you up with a rope," a sudden voice called out.

"Okay." The pain in his shoulder meant that Jing Youlan’s forehead was slick with sweat, and touching his shoulder only added to the pain.

All he hoped for now was that his injury wouldn’t seriously affect his mobility; he hadn’t forgotten that he was a sniper; such an injury in this location made Jing Youlan worry subconsciously.

Jing Youlan was rescued, but when the doctor saw the location of the rebar in his shoulder, their expression turned grave.

How could he have been wounded in such a spot?

"Doctor, will he be okay?" Ye Xiwen’s little face, smudged with dirt, and her bright eyes flickered with endless worry, her small hands twisted together nervously.

She’d never imagined Jing Youlan could be injured, let alone so severely.

Yet, she didn’t know whether to feel relieved or what; relieved that it was just this location, as a little deviation could have led to unimaginable consequences.

"It’s very serious." After a short pause, the doctor who had been examining Jing Youlan’s wound finally spoke, "Honestly, I’m not confident." The injury was too troublesome, located in the worst possible place.

"Why aren’t you confident?" Seeing the expression on the doctor’s face, an uneasy thought arose in everyone’s hearts.

"You might not know this, but his injury... the rebar is lodged right between his clavicle and scapula. Wounds in this area are the most troublesome. One careless move could damage his clavicle and scapula, and there are major blood vessels and nerves under the clavicle; if we’re not careful... his right arm might become completely useless for the rest of his life." Even if we hit a blood vessel, it can be stopped, but if we accidentally hit a nerve...

"What do you mean ’completely useless’?" However, in the next second, someone grabbed the doctor by the collar and bellowed, "Do you even know what he does? He’s our unit’s top marksman, a sniper, the best sniper. If his right arm is useless, what kind of sick joke is that? Are you a quack doctor?" Injuries and death belong on the battlefield, not in a place like this.

"Why are you getting so angry?" Jing Youlan glanced at that person. Yang Yuebin quickly stepped forward to pull the man’s hand away. "Xue Jianbing, I thought you looked down on me the most. It turns out you think so highly of me, to be so worried about me!"

"If you were a woman, I might actually believe you’ve fallen for me." The carefree Jing Youlan made his entrance; despite being in agony, his face still bore a teasing smile.

It was quite unexpected indeed; they were bitter rivals, after all. Although Xue Jianbing hadn’t actively sought out trouble with him recently... Tch, life seemed so much more boring all of a sudden.

"Like hell I’m worried about you." Hearing this, Xue Jianbing let go of the doctor’s collar and snorted coldly at Jing Youlan, "You’re almost completely incapacitated, and you’re still in the mood to joke with me. You better think about what you’re going to do!"

"I certainly don’t hope for my rival to just drop out of our competition like this." That was typical stubborn pride, clearly worried but refusing to admit it.

The military is indeed the place where strong bonds are forged. Xue Jianbing had long come to regard Jing Youlan and his companions with respect; it’s just that his mouth would never acknowledge it. Sadly, his actions couldn’t deceive anyone.
