Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2694 Descendants of the Dragon!

Seeing this, Duanwu became even more anxious. He looked up at Long Qianyan, and their eyes met in the air. Without saying anything, they understood each other's intentions. They were going to go to the military doctor Han Ling to ask about the poison gas.

They are not doctors, if there is a war, they will be the first to rush to the front. But they are really helpless against poison gas.

When they arrived at the infirmary, Han Ling was buried in a pile of medical instruments and medicines, her face full of fatigue and anxiety.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw the expectant eyes of Duanwu and Long Qianyan, and her heart sank.

Duanwu was the first to ask, "Doctor Han, what's the situation? Can you treat these soldiers and civilians who have been poisoned by the gas?"

Han Ling sighed and shook her head, her eyes full of helplessness:

“Captain, Captain Long, as you know, I am primarily a surgeon, and I can handle gunshot and knife wounds.

But poison gas... that's beyond my expertise.

I tried some conventional antidotes, but they had little effect. The gas is so strong, I... I really don't know what to do."

Hearing this, Long Qianyan frowned. He walked to Han Ling's side and glanced at the medical equipment and medicines, trying to find a glimmer of hope:

"Doctor Han, please think carefully about whether there is any way to delay their pain. We can't just watch them suffer like this."

Han Ling sighed again. She understood Long Qianyan and Duanwu's feelings, but as a military doctor, she had to face reality:

"I've tried my best, Captain Long. All I can do now is to try to alleviate their pain. As for detoxification, we can only pray that they can survive this."

Hearing this, Duanwu and Long Qianyan were silent. They knew that the current situation was extremely critical, and every minute and every second could determine the life and death of soldiers and civilians. But they also understood that Han Ling had done her best, and they could not blame her too much.

"Doctor Han, thank you for your hard work."

Duanwu broke the silence. He walked to Han Ling and patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.

Long Qianyan also nodded, expressing his understanding of Han Ling.

But at the same time, their brows were furrowed even more tightly.

Because if there is no corresponding treatment, the more than 200 people who were poisoned would probably wait to die in pain!

However, just when everyone was at a loss, a figure suddenly flashed through Duanwu's mind - Fire Phoenix.

Duanwu remembered that Huo Feng had used a lot of poisons to deal with the Japanese before. Those poisons were extremely powerful and made the Japanese suffer a lot.

From this, a glimmer of hope arose in Duanwu's heart. He felt that Huo Feng might be able to rescue the soldiers and civilians who were poisoned by the gas.

Thinking of this, Duanwu could no longer sit still. He immediately turned around and walked out of the infirmary, mounted his warhorse. The sound of horse hooves rang out in the night, like rapid drumbeats, and galloped towards the direction of Phoenix City.

The night is dark and the stars are twinkling, but Duanwu's heart is filled with anxiety.

He kept urging the horse he was riding, hoping to get to Phoenix City as soon as possible to find a way to detoxify.

After more than 20 minutes of running around, it was already late at night, and Duanwu finally arrived at Huofeng's residence.

Without even taking a moment to rest, he dismounted from his horse, walked quickly toward the gate, and asked the guard to inform the Fire Phoenix City Lord.

The guard saw Duanwu's anxious face and knew that he must have something urgent, so he quickly informed the Lord of Fire Phoenix City.

After a while, a woman in red walked out slowly. It was Huo Feng.

She didn't have time to get dressed, so she was only wearing pajamas with a red cape on the outside. If the visitor wasn't Duanwu, she probably wouldn't have dressed up like this.

As soon as she saw Duanwu, Huo Feng asked, "Captain Qi, you came here in such a hurry. Did something big happen?"

Duanwu hurried forward and told the whole story:

He was preparing to attack the Japanese in Kaoshantun tonight, but he happened to encounter the Japanese releasing poison gas, killing the villagers of Kaoshantun.

As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and the Japanese devils. A large number of civilians and Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers were poisoned, and all the other situations were told to Huo Feng in detail.

After hearing this, Huo Feng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I do have some poisons and antidotes, but they are all for specific poisons. As for the poison gas used by the devils, I don't know its composition, so I can't be sure whether it can be detoxified?"

Duanwu's heart sank when he heard this, because if even Huo Feng didn't know how to detoxify, then he really didn't know who else to turn to.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Huo Feng thought for a moment and said, "How about I take you to meet Grandma Zuma of our tribe?"

Duanwu was surprised: "Who is Grandma Zuma?"

Huo Feng pursed her lips and explained, "She is the most important person in Phoenix City. She is like a god in our hearts. But she does not ask about the management of the city. Before Phoenix City encounters a major crisis, she will summon us and tell me that she foresees the disaster coming.

For example, the last time Phoenix City encountered a disaster, it was resolved under her guidance."

"Is it so magical?"

Duanwu was curious, but he thought that divination was not trustworthy. He was a materialist.

So Duanwu shook his head and said, "I can't predict good or bad luck, so it's useless to go see her."

But unexpectedly, Huo Feng said, "She might be able to detoxify. I once heard my mother say that Grandma Zuma can do anything."

Duanwu's mouth twitched. He was a little unconvinced. In this world, he had never seen anyone who was omnipotent.

But at this point, there is no other way but to give it a try and hope that Grandma Zuma can find a way to detoxify.

So Huo Feng rode in a sedan chair and Duanwu rode on a horse, and they headed towards the back mountain of the New Phoenix City, escorted by a dozen female guards.

This walk is five kilometers long. On the top of a mountain, there is a wooden house similar to a temple. There are thirty-six thick totems full of vicissitudes of life inserted in various places on the mountain.

These totems include foxes, hedgehogs, snakes, and even mice. Some of them are hung with colorful flags, while others are tied with ribbons.

But without exception, these flags and ribbons are old.

And on top of the tall wooden house, there is a huge phoenix totem, which looks particularly huge here.

Huo Feng explained at this time: "The phoenix totem represents our tribe. Our tribe is the descendants of the phoenix."

"············"

Duanwu was speechless again, thinking: "I am still a descendant of the dragon!"

But Duanwu couldn't say it directly, after all, it seemed that Huo Feng was very serious!
