Time quickly arrived at the fourth day of being lost.

The crew did not come looking for us, and there was no sign of our communication devices being restored.

We could only continue to move forward along the pre-planned route.

After walking for a while, Zhong Ling shouted and made a fuss about needing to rest: "You guys go on, anyway I can't walk anymore!"

We actually wanted to leave her behind, but we could only think about it. we had to stop and rest in place.

Qin Yuan and I went to explore the road ahead, but when we came back, we found that Zhong Ling who had said "I don't want to move anymore" was gone.

Dou Yuanyuan saw us come back and explained, "She said she needed to solve a physiological problem just now."

Half an hour later, Ji Feng, looking worried at the dense forest behind him, said, "Could something have happened? Why hasn't she come back after so long?"

It was already late, and there was nothing we could do. So, after asking Dou Yuanyuan and Ji Feng to watch over Lin Yuanhe, Qin Yuan and I followed the direction Zhong Ling had left in.

Fortunately, the ground was still moist, leaving clear footprints, and we didn't take long to find Zhong Ling.

Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and she was lying under a tree with a flushed face, looking dazed.

Qin Yuan called her a couple of times, but got no response.

After a brief look in her eyes, I cautiously approached Zhong Ling, checking the parts of her body that were exposed, but found no bites from insects or snakes.

Looking around, there were no traces of her eating anything either.

It seems she wasn't poisoned.

Just as I was frowning and thinking about what was wrong with her, Zhong Ling, who had been unresponsive to external stimuli, suddenly started giggling foolishly, as if immersed in some kind of hallucination.

She waved her arms and shouted, "Hahaha, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, Gu Xiaosheng, you bitch, you just know how to seduce people, see me scratch your face, how will you seduce anyone else! Lin Yuanhe likes me! Ji Feng likes me! Qin Yuan likes me! Everyone likes me! Gu Xiaosheng, I'll kill you..."

She suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes red, and her emotions were so agitated that she was about to reach out and grab my neck.

Qin Yuan, who had been alert behind her, quickly pulled me away, narrowly avoiding her sharp nails.

At that moment, I caught a glimpse of a bruise on her arm that had formed from being pricked with a needle.

Something was wrong. Last night when she was washing up, I happened to be there, and her hands were spotless then, without a trace.

My gaze fell on the backpack that had been thrown to the side.

Qin Yuan noticed my unusual expression and asked me what was wrong.

I shook my head, intending to figure out a way to bring her back before explaining to him.

He seemed pensive and instructed me to attract Zhong Ling's attention in front while he circled around and knocked her unconscious cleanly from behind.

"Let's go back first, Xiao Ji and the others must be getting worried."

Although the way was clear, it still took us some time to return to the original place.

A few minutes later, Zhong Ling woke up.

"Xiao Ling, are you okay? Why did you faint? Was it them..."

Lin Yuanhe looked convincingly concerned and glanced at me with a meaningful look.

When I squinted back at him, he immediately turned away, not daring to say more.

"I'm fine, Yuanhe, I'm just a little tired."

Zhong Ling avoided eye contact, not daring to look at anyone present.

Seeing this, I shook the discarded backpack, making a noise that made her look up.

Unexpectedly, she and Lin Yuanhe both looked flustered:

"I didn't throw it away!"

"You didn't throw it away!"

While Zhong Ling said this to me, Lin Yuanhe said it to her, his tone fearful and angry.

Things were getting interesting now.

Zhong Ling got excited and tried to snatch the backpack from me, but Qin Yuan restrained her, tying her up with a rope.

Lin Yuanhe kept struggling, being held down by Dou Yuanyuan and Ji Feng.

"So agitated, it seems there's something unsightly in there."

I opened the backpack, took out a few syringes, and a few empty vials of penicillin from inside.

"Tell us, what is this?"

Both of them fell silent.

But everyone present was smart and, thinking back to how Zhong Ling looked when we brought her back, naturally guessed what was once in the small vial.
