The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2412 2412: Battle Warning

“When we went to climb Mount Tengger, we were attacked by a pack of Mountain Wolves. We were injured in the fight against the wolves.” Seeing that everyone present was looking at them with curious eyes, Luo Liansheng didn’t disappoint and began to recount the story: “Ziling rushed over to protect me at all costs, and in the end, both of us got hurt. Later, it was him who carried me back to the camp. After carrying me back to the camp, he collapsed from exhaustion.”

Luo Liansheng’s story was too simple, and everyone failed to sense the danger in it, feeling a bit disappointed.

Luo Ziling chimed in: “That time we encountered more than thirty Mountain Wolves. Mountain Wolves are much fiercer than Steppe Wolves, and they are also larger. Their aggression is even stronger; if you encounter them, not to mention humans, even fierce beings like Snow Leopards can only run for their lives. When we saw a large group of Mountain Wolves in front of us, I thought my grandfather and I were going to die there. Fortunately, we had brought some weapons for self-defense. At an altitude of five to six thousand meters, wearing thick clothes greatly reduces our agility, while the wolves are hardly affected in this regard. These beasts are not low in intelligence; they know how to coordinate, even engaging us in a round of wheel battle. They also tried to separate the two of us so that we couldn’t support each other. At such a place, there were no others around, and the climbing route we chose was rather secluded, so asking for help was impossible. I didn’t want to die there, nor did I want to see my grandfather buried in the snowy mountains, so I had to fight to the death. Grandfather was attacked by the lead wolf and sustained severe injuries, so I had to desperately rush over to rescue him. Fortunately, I had decent stamina and eventually killed the lead wolf. After the lead wolf died, the pack’s power decreased significantly without a leader.”

Seeing the women beside them looking terrified, especially Yang Qingyin who was clinging tightly to Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling smiled awkwardly and decided to keep it simple: “In the end, we safely eliminated the thirty-some wolves. When the remaining wolves fled, we were both exhausted. Thankfully, we didn’t encounter any other beasts, or else we would have died there. We rested at the spot for two hours, roasted and ate half a wolf before regaining some strength. Grandfather’s leg was bitten and he couldn’t walk, so I had to carry him.”

“Ling’er carried me at an altitude of five to six thousand kilometers for twenty to thirty kilometers and we finally reached our camp set halfway before dark,” Luo Liansheng resumed the topic, laughing: “That was the most dangerous attempt at entering Tianshan, and Ling’er was just sixteen then. Later, whenever we entered the mountains again, we carried hunting rifles, bows, crossbows, and poison. Whether encountering beasts or bandits, we dealt with them most efficiently, saving any more hassle.”

At this point, Luo Liansheng added with emotion: “Ling’er saved my life; without him, I would have died years ago. In climbing teams, if someone like me is injured and loses the ability to move at an altitude of six to seven thousand meters, the wisest course of action is to abandon this person. Otherwise, others could be implicated. Although this is harsh, it’s also the wisest decision. At that time, I repeatedly asked Ling’er to leave me behind and go down alone, but even when threatened with suicide, he refused. Thankfully, heaven had mercy on us and allowed us grandchildren to continue moving about in the Tianshan area.”

As Luo Liansheng finished speaking, Ling Ruonan was already in tears.

She couldn’t believe how the grandfather and grandson had encountered such dangers.

She believed this was the greatest danger the pair had faced, and there must have been numerous less severe accidents.

She knew clearly then that there were many people who wished Luo Ziling dead, never giving up on pursuing him.

Luo Liansheng walked with Luo Ziling, not only facing threats from nature but also threats from assassins.

The grandfather and grandson had been living here, always in great danger.

Surviving here was really not easy!

Ling Ruonan seemed to have immediately understood why Luo Ziling could live so well after coming to Yanjing.

Without the experience gained following Luo Liansheng in dealing with danger and threats, Luo Ziling might have been killed long ago.

“Born in adversity, dying in comfort,” this saying is exactly correct.

Having endured hardships from a young age and experienced the ordeal of life, Luo Ziling’s survival capabilities aren’t something ordinary people can compare to. How could he be rivaled by those pampered princes in Yanjing who grew up in luxury? In the midst of sadness, Ling Ruonan also felt lucky.

Just now, while listening to Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng recount the past dangers, Ling Ruonan had somewhat blamed Luo Liansheng for not protecting Luo Ziling well.

But once she understood this point, she felt relieved.

“A blessing in disguise.”

Just then, Luo Ziling spoke again: “In winter, even when heavy snow seals the mountains, we occasionally go out. Hunting is most accessible during heavy snow when many beasts, starving, emerge to find food. Movement is inconvenient on snowy ground, and hungry animals’ response capabilities decrease, making them easier to hunt. There are many wild animals in Tianshan, like Tian Shan Blue Sheep, Big-headed Sheep, Roe Deer, Argali, and Snow Chickens. Blue Sheep are most common and their meat is delicious. Tonight, grandfather and I will go out and try to hunt some Blue Sheep for you. Snow Chickens are active near the snowline and easy to catch. The other types of sheep are less common, but once encountered, they certainly cannot escape us. Haha, you can just sleep tonight, surely you’ll have delicious game waiting for you tomorrow.”

“You must be careful!” Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin almost simultaneously spoke words of reminder.

“No one has better survival skills than us!” Luo Liansheng said confidently: “Let me brag a bit—if we two were your enemies, even if you have so many security personnel protecting you, we are confident we could eliminate you all.”

Luo Liansheng’s words startled everyone, but no one refuted his claim.

Wuyue, eavesdropping from the side, although a bit unconvinced, believed Luo Liansheng’s words.

Noticing the strange expressions of everyone, Luo Ziling laughed again: “Li Bai has a poem, ‘The bright moon emerges over Tianshan, amidst the vast sea of clouds.’ Tonight, there is a moon; soon, you can go out and admire it. I estimate that in about an hour, you’ll be able to see the moon close to the snow peaks. However, you must keep warm, ‘In May, Tianshan snow; no flowers, only cold.’ Li Bai’s poem accurately describes the situation. The maximum temperature outside is five to six degrees;

we have a fire here, everyone gathered can avoid feeling cold, but this makes it easy to freeze. Don’t get caught in the freeze unknowingly; everyone should go back and put on a coat. Those who don’t wish to see the Tianshan snow moon can go sleep.”

“Mom will wait for you to return from hunting before sleeping!” Ling Ruonan lightly said.

“If you are going hunting, go early, we will wait for you!” Yang Qingyin also said the same.

Luo Yuqing echoed the sentiment: “We’ll admire the moon and play cards, waiting for you to return for freshly roasted game, sound good?”

“Alright then!” Luo Ziling could only agree reluctantly.

Just then, the high-frequency communication device carried by Luo Ziling rang again.

He quickly ran outside to answer.

It was Lin Lan contacting him.

Lin Lan informed Luo Ziling that traces of cross-border armed personnel had been discovered, possibly spies from the Russians, or possibly mercenaries infiltrating the Tianshan area.

“You must be cautious!” That was Lin Lan’s solemn warning to Luo Ziling.

This statement sent a shiver through Luo Ziling.
