A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 781 I'll Slap You to Death! Even pressing a wooden stick against the stomach requires s

The elderly geologist practically stumbled off the vehicle, completely disregarding his advanced age, and shakily ran to Liu Daba, who was already bound like a large dumpling. Seeing that the bandit leader still had his eyes closed, he didn't hesitate and slashed him from both sides.

"Clap clap clap!"

A series of loud slaps landed on Liu Daba's face like raindrops!

"Wake up! Wake up, you damned beast! Open your dog eyes!" The old man had completely lost his usual gentle demeanor. "Speak! Where are my students! Where are my students? Where are they? Were they killed by you bunch of bastards?! Speak up!"

Liu Daba La ━━(￣ー￣*|||━━

This half-dead, unresponsive state was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the anxiety and anger that had been building up in the old man's heart!

"You won't talk, huh! You won't talk!" The old man suddenly let out a low roar that was almost a howl. He bent down and grabbed Liu Daba's collar with his left hand, which had distinct knuckles, and lifted the big bandit's upper body off the ground!

His right hand rose high again, and with all his might, he slapped down even more frantically! His posture was nothing like that of a scholar; it was more like that of a lion that had been thoroughly enraged and was protecting its cubs!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Speak! Tell me!"

Jiang Xia, who got off the bus behind him, was dumbfounded.

"Good guy..."

It seems that when the old man said, "We climbed a mountain together, he reached the top while I was still panting at the foot of the mountain," he wasn't just bragging! This explosive power, this strength... Jiang Xia gained a completely new, and somewhat tooth-ache-inducing, understanding of this geological giant's physical abilities.

Watching Liu Daba's face slowly turn into a pig's head, the silly boy unconsciously touched his own cheek, wondering if he had been a bit presumptuous to joke with the old man earlier...

"Xiao Jiang! You're really something, wake this guy up! I have some questions for him!"

Uh……

Jiang Xia stroked his chin, his eyes rapidly scanning back and forth between the armored vehicle's battery pack and the unconscious Liu Daba, his mind already starting to conceive of how to make an "electric shock wake-up device" using the simplest materials.

Fortunately, Chief Guard Cheng stepped forward and supported Old Li's arm: "Old Li, don't worry, the man is under control and can't escape. We'll find a way to get him to talk."

Then he turned and shouted, "Medic! Come and take a look!"

A military medic carrying an old medical kit rushed over, fiddled with it for a moment, and said, "Report! The target's right arm is completely shattered, but he's alive. We currently suspect that the target suffered a moderate concussion due to the violent impact and is temporarily unconscious. Forcibly stimulating him to wake him may cause vomiting or confusion, which would be detrimental to interrogation."

"Hey, does that mean we just have to wait for him to wake up?"

"Yeah, but you can't blame Xiao Jiang for that. He was quite careful with his movements. If it were me, he'd probably be like a watered-down watermelon..."

Hey bro, who's this guy trying to cover for me?

Jiang Xia looked at the young military doctor and his goodwill towards him increased greatly.

Just then, Liu Shicai cried out in alarm from the other side, "Wife! Wife! What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

His wife, who had just been rescued, was pale and sweating profusely after experiencing extreme fear and a brief moment of relief. She clutched her lower abdomen and curled up in pain.

Terrified, Liu Shicai, who was still tied up, had just stood up when he suddenly collapsed to the ground, becoming his wife's cushion. He kept shaking his head at the army doctor.

"Comrade! Comrade PLA soldier! Please, please look at my wife! She...she seems to be dying!"

While shouting, he swayed his body, actually trying to carry his wife over.

"I'll give up! I'll give up everything! Old comrade! Your student might still be detained there..." Halfway through his sentence, Liu Shicai's eyes rolled back, and he fainted with a gurgle.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻！

One or two of them ran up to me and started performing a whole series of fainting spells, huh?

Jiang Xia was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he turned around and really wanted to use a battery to assemble an "electric shock wake-up device".

However, to be fair, men from Northeast China really dote on their wives...

The young doctor beside her moved swiftly, quickly walking over to the woman and examining her: "Chief of Staff! The situation is bad. She's been too frightened, which has affected the fetus, and there are signs of early miscarriage. She needs to lie down and rest immediately, and take medication to stabilize the pregnancy. She should not move or get emotionally agitated."

Upon seeing this, Chief of Staff Cheng decisively ordered: "Communications officer, contact the rear, report the situation, and request medical support!"

"Yes!"

"Attention, everyone else!" Sergeant Cheng commanded in a steady voice. "First platoon, maintain perimeter security! Second platoon, assist the medic in moving everyone to the nearest bungalow! Be quiet and ensure the safety of the women and wounded! We'll rest and conduct initial interrogations there temporarily!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately sprang into action. They carefully helped the weak woman to her feet, carried the unconscious Liu Shicai, and dragged the still unconscious Liu Daba, quickly moving towards Liu Shicai's low-lying bungalow.

During this brief transfer, Jiang Xia and military doctor Meng Chao naturally ended up together.

"Thank you so much, medic!" Well, the guy was referring to the medic's words that helped him "exonerate" himself from responsibility. Although it wasn't a big deal, Jiang Xia was still extremely pleased.

"Hey, let's be realistic." The military doctor pushed up his glasses, smiled, and said in a friendly tone, "The way you drove was indeed tricky in terms of angle and force. It looked fierce, but you actually avoided all the organs that could be fatal immediately."

"Hehe, luck, mostly luck," Jiang Xia said modestly, then casually pulled out the pack of white cigarettes and offered one to the man. "Want one? To perk you up."

"Hey, this is good stuff." The medic's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he took it, lit it with the match Jiang Xia had struck, and took a satisfying puff. "Hey, I got one of these cigarettes when I was giving a report with my master. It tastes just like this!"

"Wow, I didn't know you were giving a report! You've got some skills!"

"I was hanging out with some hoodlums. In my master's words, it was to broaden my horizons. But halfway through the meeting, that gentle old man asked my master with a smile if he could borrow me for a while. My master, seeing that I was always urging him to ask for funding, probably got annoyed and kicked me out..."

"Oh? You've seen the old man? Haven't you asked how to address him yet?" Jiang Xia lit a cigarette for himself and asked casually.

"Just call me Meng Chao!" Dr. Meng Chao exhaled a smoke ring, showing no embarrassment or annoyance at being thrown out halfway to carry out a mission.

"Tsk, what a great name!" Jiang Xia gave a thumbs up, half-seriously and half-jokingly saying, "It has the air of a fierce general from the Three Kingdoms period! Just hearing it makes you sound like a powerful figure who can take the head of a general from the midst of a massive army... uh, take the head of a lesion!"

"Really! Haha!" Meng Chao was amused and seemed very happy. "Back when my dad was tapping rubber in Southeast Asia, he loved reading 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'! I guess he named me after the Five Tiger Generals!"

"Oh, you're an overseas Chinese?"

"No, it's just that we were poor back then, so I went to work for my dad to make a living. I came back a long time ago, and I went to university in China. If the Holy Land hadn't been too far away, I definitely would have won two little prizes!"

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hahaha……"

The two men smiled at each other, and amidst the swirling smoke, a tacit understanding unique to technical workers quickly formed.

Jiang Xia left a cigarette for Dr. Meng Chao and casually handed out the remaining cigarettes in the pack to a few soldiers nearby.

"You mentioned internal organs earlier. What if someone keeps pressing a stick against that area?"

Jiang Xia imitated Engineer Chen's movements, gesturing to his own abdomen.

"It hurts!"

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense!"

"That's no nonsense!" Dr. Meng Chao said seriously, gesturing to his own stomach.

"Look, if it's the upper middle abdomen, that's the stomach; the upper left is the spleen; the upper right is the liver... and the area around the navel is the small intestine. How can they be the same?"

"Then you can take a good look at that person for me later!" Jiang Xia pointed to Engineer Chen, who was clutching his stomach in front of him.

"Okay!"

Dr. Meng Chao frowned slightly as he looked at Engineer Chen's posture.
