I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 837: Chapter 836: Unlike a Human

Everyone was momentarily stunned upon hearing the intermittent sound, and they looked toward the eastern woods, following the direction of the sound.

The special forces team turned to Luo Xudong, waiting for him to give the command to rescue, but Luo Xudong remained silent, just listening intently.

Lin Yunping, with a puzzled expression, said, ”This sound seems like a cry for help, yet it feels like it’s not made by a human!”

This statement made Zou Yulu’s hair stand on end. Being in the depths of the forest was already quite frightening. Although she didn’t mind field operations, this mission was far beyond her expectations. Hearing Lin Yunping’s eerie words, she felt completely unsettled.

”If it’s not human, then what could it be?” Zou Yulu asked, trembling.

Lin Yunping remained silent. He had no idea what it was; he was merely expressing his feelings.

Luo Xudong gave no opinion on the matter. In areas unfamiliar to him, he never acted rashly and preferred to listen to the opinions of those who were familiar.

However, everyone present wore expressions of doubt, and they hesitated to move forward. The sound, though resembling a cry for help, was extremely strange.

Yet, this time these people had kidnapped many children. According to the public security system statistics, more than twenty children had disappeared, all within one province—a shocking number.

Thus, they wondered if it might be the voices of those children.

If it truly were the voices of the children, they might have finally found the enemies’ lair.

The special operations group took cues from Luo Xudong, while the mystic doctors were primarily led by Beisitian and Chu Zhicheng, who both looked toward them.

Beisitian and Chu Zhicheng listened carefully, then exchanged glances.

”What do you think, Doctor Bei?” Chu Zhicheng asked.

He couldn’t determine whether the sound was made by humans or whether it was a trap.

Beisitian thought for a moment and said, ”If we ignore it, it might leave a shadow in everyone’s mind. Besides, the place they’re guarding might be where they’re gathering.”

She believed that they couldn’t just walk away without understanding what was going on. As she had mentioned, if it were a trap, it was likely laid to cover up something else, and that direction might be correct.

Beisitian didn’t plan on making decisions for others. After all, the matter was bizarre and laden with unknown dangers. She was prepared to take a look at it.

Chu Zhicheng pondered. If it was indeed a trap, it would be best not to go.

Seeing their hesitation, Beisitian didn’t want to waste too much time and said, ”Why not wait here while I take a look first?”

Lin Yunping said, ”Then I leave it to you, Doctor Bei.”

With his words, the others had no further objections. It was best to have someone explore the unknown.

As Beisitian stepped toward the sound, Wei Zhongyuan immediately followed her steps, with Desan and Tian Zhi close behind. Not only that, but Luo Xudong’s special operations team also followed.

Of course, Luo Xudong wanted to be with his wife. Their mission had changed multiple times; now they needed not only to rescue Luo Yirui but also to protect this group of mystic doctors. He certainly couldn’t defy orders!

Seeing this, the other mystic doctors, including Chu Zhicheng, were dumbstruck. Wasn’t the idea for two people to scout ahead? Why did everyone end up going? And Commander Luo, are you really okay with openly favoring someone like this?

Chen Yang blinked and said, ”Why don’t we all take a look together? Like Doctor Bei said, if we don’t find out what it is, we’ll probably keep thinking about it once we leave!”

The others agreed. Without the protection of the special operations group, they felt like they were exposed in a thorny place, with danger everywhere and no sense of security.

Lin Yunping, who agreed first, looked grim. If he hadn’t agreed so quickly, they wouldn’t have ended up looking like fools. Finally, everyone followed along.

As they passed through a patch of low shrubs, the sound seemed to come from a large area behind the bushes. Perhaps it was aware of the noise, as the sound abruptly stopped.

Standing twenty meters away, Beisitian looked at the low shrubs, wondering if there were humans or something else hidden there.

”Who is calling for help? We are here to save you!” Beisitian called out from afar.

Her voice echoed in the deep forest, met with no response. A breeze rustled the low shrubs, adding an eerie touch with a rustling sound.

No one answered, and Beisitian initially concluded that it wasn’t human, certainly not children. The children held captive were all from ordinary families, and if they heard someone coming to save them, they wouldn’t hide.

With this in mind, Beisitian quietly took a step back, and the others followed suit. But with that thing not coming out, they couldn’t simply remain in a stalemate.

The mystic doctors and special forces team focused intently on the low shrubs, contemplating how to drive it out.

Just then, they suddenly heard the sound of a gun being loaded. Following the noise, Luo Xudong’s gun was already aimed at the low shrubs.

”Commander Luo, wait!” Lin Yunping frowningly said, ”What if they’re frightened children?”

Luo Xudong cast a faint glance at him, then pulled the trigger. With a bang, a wisp of smoke rose from the low shrubs.

The bullet hit in front of the bushes, and soon a flurry of movement sounded within, evidently startled by the gunshot. Through the gaps in the low shrubs, something black and gray seemed visible.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t frightened out. After the commotion, it returned to silence, and the bushes fell still again.

Lin Yunping pursed his lips, thinking how annoying this couple was!

Having determined there was something inside that wasn’t human, Luo Xudong prepared to shoot it directly.

”Wait a moment!” Beisitian called out to stop him.

Just as her voice fell, a rustling came from another side of the bushes. Everyone tensed up, realizing there was something there too!

Recalling the previous victims, they felt a chill. Could it be some kind of bug? Judging by the size of the thing earlier, it seemed quite large!

As the mystic doctors began to take out their talismans and the special forces squad cocked their guns, two small figures emerged from behind the bushes.

Upon seeing the two small figures, Beisitian was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. She rushed over, paying no heed to the danger, only wanting to hug her son!

”Mom! Dad!” Luo Yirui, upon seeing them, relaxed and promptly fainted.

Luo Xudong reached Luo Yirui before Beisitian did and took him from Jing Changle’s arms.
