The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 277 - 275: Taking on Another Mission

After Ling Chengyan reported the situation, she could only wait and see what would happen.

She believed that, concerning the confrontation between two armies, concerning the safety of the border, the leaders at the top were not the foolish ones like in the old days of the Great Qi Country; it was impossible for them to let it slide, and they would definitely root out the betrayer.

Even if they couldn’t uncover the betrayer, after some pressure, the traitor would restrain themselves, which would also reduce their own losses.

For someone at her level, this was already enough.

After washing up, the team members all returned to the dormitory to rest. Ling Chengyan also went back to her room to catch some sleep. When the lunchtime bugle sounded, she walked out of the barracks, and the team members were already lined up, neat in attire.

Seeing the team members who had mostly regained their spirit, Ling Chengyan felt relieved and led them to the canteen to eat.

After lunch, Ling Chengyan rushed to the garrison hospital and saw Li Ming rushing out of the ward before she even entered.

"What’s the matter?" Ling Chengyan hurriedly asked.

"Our platoon leader has woken up," Li Ming replied joyofully with reddened eyes.

Ling Chengyan quickly gestured for him to get the doctor, while she herself carried the two lunchboxes she brought for Li Ming into the ward.

On the hospital bed, Geng Wei was already awake. Because the wound was on his back, he was lying face down, his face towards the window, and it wasn’t until Ling Chengyan walked around to his bedside that he noticed her.

"Company, company commander." Geng Wei’s voice was a bit hoarse, but his mind was clear.

Ling Chengyan lifted the sheet over him and took a glance, then smiled and said, "Looks like I’ll need to go buy another meal."

Geng Wei also grinned broadly, showing a big smile.

His back was still swollen, but the situation had clearly improved, and the poison hadn’t continued to spread. Evidently, the antitoxic serum used twice had worked.

"You," Ling Chengyan covered him with the sheet again and scolded, "Are you stupid? You got bitten and didn’t make a sound?"

Geng Wei smiled wryly, "In that place..."

Ling Chengyan didn’t let him finish, shooting a glare over: "You couldn’t make a sound, couldn’t move, you could have signaled!"

If snake medicine had been applied right after the bite and he had been brought back for treatment in time, even if there was a little venom, it could have been quickly resolved. But this fool gritted his teeth and continued performing tasks, unnecessarily delaying for several hours!

Several doctors and nurses rushed in, prompting Ling Chengyan to stop her scolding and step aside to make room for them.

After a moment, the doctor finished the examination and turned around, saying: "Considering the current situation, the fact that he can wake up indicates the treatment was effective, and there’s no longer any life threat. However, the delay has led to deeper poisoning, and he still needs to stay hospitalized for continued treatment."

Ling Chengyan nodded, indicating that she understood.

After seeing the doctors and nurses off, Ling Chengyan raised a finger at Geng Wei and said, "Remember this time, wait till you’re better."

Li Ming returned after sending off the doctors and nurses, just in time to see Ling Chengyan pointing at Geng Wei in admonition, grinning and mumbling a slight laugh, before picking up a kettle to pour a full cup of water: "Company commander, have a drink."

Geng Wei quietly let out a breath, noting Li Ming’s rescue attempts in his mind.

With Li Ming out of danger, Ling Chengyan also relaxed, leaving Li Ming in the hospital and returning to the camp herself.

Two days later, after all training projects were completed, the score results came out. The Huicheng Special Service Company team led by Ling Chengyan didn’t top the list because they failed to complete the second special task, resulting in only a middling score.

Even so, their score was higher than the two teams of Han Daqing and Qian Xiangjun.

Subsequently, regular combat forces and the Special Service Company units continued adaptive training, but except for basic physical training, there was no overlap in other parts.

Moreover, Ling Chengyan received another special mission.

This time the mission order was personally issued by the commissar to Ling Chengyan, with only the two of them present, no third person.

The mission was to reconnoiter the small village again, with the personnel selected by Ling Chengyan. Since it was merely reconnaissance, there wasn’t a need for many people, just five to eight would suffice.

Alongside this mission, Ling Chengyan also received a cover mission, which was their team’s forest training.

Ling Chengyan’s task was to enter the forest, then detach with her chosen people for the village reconnaissance.

This time it’s not just reconnoitering enemy movements but also further confirming if there is an insider.

The commissar looked at her earnestly: "Comrade Ling Chengyan, this mission is important and arduous. I wish you a victorious success."

Ling Chengyan stood at attention and saluted: "Yes."

To avoid drawing attention, their mission departure time was set for the morning, departing with several other teams as if it was just another routine field training exercise. Even the departure direction was slightly skewed; if they continued in that direction, it would lead to a vast, primeval forest that was seldom frequented – not only by ordinary folks but also by the armies on both sides, due to how dangerous and inaccessible the original mountain forest was.

After entering the forest, the teams dispersed, with the Huicheng Special Service Company Squad led by Ling Chengyan continuing to advance. The team members all thought it was just forest survival combat training without any suspicion.

The mountains were tall and the forests dense, making the progress slower than usual. After more than two hours, the squad had traveled just over ten miles.

Finally, upon reaching a slightly sparser forest clearing, Ling Chengyan ordered a security sweep, allowing them to rest and eat lunch on the spot.

The team members spread out, each busy with their duties, and only then did Ling Chengyan call Zheng Qianjin aside, assigning him the next task: "I have another mission, taking a few people with me. You lead them around the forest once, then return here by evening. We will regroup here after completing our mission."

Zheng Qianjin pursed his lips and agreed.

Ling Chengyan only took six people, leaving the mobile communications behind, telling the team members that they were going ahead to scout the path.

None of the six people following Ling Chengyan suspected another mission until they exited the forest and approached the two armies’ positions. The issue became noticeable, but nearing the battleground, they had to remain vigilant and hidden at all times. Even if questions arose in their hearts, they couldn’t voice them.

Ling Chengyan turned back and gestured to the group, indicating to stay alert; this place was always at risk of encountering a minefield.

The group had seen landmines a few times and experienced two actual covert missions behind enemy lines, knowing the dangers. No one dared to be distracted; keeping full alertness, every step forward was taken with utmost caution.

Just as the commissar had stressed when giving the mission, this task was crucial. Ling Chengyan didn’t hold back to train the young ones but directly led the team upfront, using a green bamboo pole to probe and search the path ahead.

With extensive experience, Ling Chengyan could generally surmise that landmines along the two armies’ positions were deployed as needed, and someone would also clear them as needed. Hence, the soil above many landmines tended to be looser, a situation that could be probed with a bamboo stick.

Of course, only Ling Chengyan could perform this maneuver because the force needed to be controlled extremely accurately to avoid triggering the landmines.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be mine probes but a suicidal act.
