Lin Lan’s comprehensive strength ranked among the top in the entire Dragon Rise, making it into the top ten thanks to her swift actions.

Before she could react, her sidearm was snatched away by Luo Ziling, and the shock in her heart really couldn’t be described.

She was fully aware that, though she was fast, she was still significantly slower compared to Luo Ziling.

“Give me back the gun,” she said, knowing that Luo Ziling was just fooling around with her, so although she was angry, she didn’t lose her temper. Instead, she reached out her hand to Luo Ziling, “You must realize that taking my sidearm is no laughing matter.”

“I know,” Luo Ziling said with a smile, continuing to toy with the rather domineering-looking pistol, “The last time you woke up, your first reaction was to look for your gun, so I’m aware of its importance to you!”

“Are you going to give it back to me or not?” Lin Lan snapped, her gaze filled with ferocity as she looked at Luo Ziling.

“Don’t move,” said Luo Ziling obediently, as he slipped the gun back into Lin Lan’s hands, but just as she was about to grasp it firmly, he snatched it back again, “Really, you haven’t agreed to my request yet!”

She held the gun in her hands, alertness heightened to the max, yet it was snatched away by Luo Ziling once more, leaving Lin Lan with an indescribable feeling of shock and astonishment.

“Agree to what?” She knew that if she didn’t agree to Luo Ziling, he would continue to tease her, “You’re not a soldier; you can’t possess firearms, so how will you learn to shoot?”

“Not that!”

“Then what is it?” Lin Lan didn’t catch on immediately.

“Just lie still for a couple of days, don’t move,” Luo Ziling said, pointing to Lin Lan’s two legs still exposed in front of him, “I’ll tell you the truth. According to my careful observation, after applying my medicine, new skin should begin to appear after four hours, replace the scab after six, scars form after ten, become most firm at eighteen hours, and start to dissolve at twenty-six hours. In roughly two hundred forty hours, which is about ten days, the skin should heal as before. This means, within ten hours, you’d best not move at all, and after eighteen, you can move!”

Lin Lan felt a sense of care in Luo Ziling’s overbearing demeanor, and it warmed her heart, so her tone softened; yet, she still retorted stubbornly, “Last time, right after you did surgery on me, I moved around, and the skin healed just fine. Now, it’s just a faint scar!”

“Big sister, how can that spot be the same as this one?” Luo Ziling looked at Lin Lan as if she were clueless, “Your chest area, you don’t swing your arms when you walk, the up-and-down motion isn’t so pronounced, so the muscles and skin are hardly stretched, unless you intentionally shake your own *breasts or someone else touches them. Okay, I’ll be blunt so you’ll understand why I didn’t stop you with force from taking me back that day.”

Lin Lan didn’t say a word, but she watched Luo Ziling without blinking.

“Your *breasts are quite full and firm, and with clothes stabilizing them, there isn’t much movement when you walk, that’s why I didn’t stop you from taking me back with force,” Luo Ziling said, feeling a bit embarrassed as he talked about these details, his face turning red and he coughed lightly before continuing, “If it were not for that, the movement from walking would have affected the wound, and I’d rather walk back than have you take me. It’s the same today, if you insist on taking me, I will knock you out right here. Later, either call someone else to take me, or I will walk out on my own. On the way here, I saw there was a bus stop about five kilometers away, and that place also has taxis available.”

After hearing Luo Ziling say this, Lin Lan’s annoyance completely dissipated, but she still looked at him defiantly.

“Sigh, why do you, a woman, always insist on being so tough?” Luo Ziling heaved a sigh and asked puzzledly, “No matter what, women always have innate vulnerabilities…”

“I don’t need a man’s protection,” Lin Lan cut him off, her gaze fierce as she locked eyes with him.

“If you had gotten hurt last time, and I, in a beastly frenzy, had raped you, you wouldn’t have had a chance to resist!”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Lin Lan was enraged, glaring fiercely at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling didn’t shy away, meeting her gaze directly.

In the end, it was Lin Lan who couldn’t withstand Luo Ziling’s gaze and lowered her eyes.

She knew that what Luo Ziling had just said could genuinely happen; a woman, when injured, would stand no chance if violated by a man.

Luo Ziling’s words weren’t a threat but a reminder, a show of good intentions, not an insult.

“Fine, I’ll listen to you and honestly lie here for a day!” Lin Lan said, her eyes still lowered in submission.

“That’s more like it,” Luo Ziling said, finally showing a smile. He glanced around and added another piece of advice, “It seems you don’t have any food or drink here. Why don’t you call one of your comrades to take care of you? They should be willing to help you with this!”

“Don’t worry about that,” Luo Ziling was somewhat loquacious, but Lin Lan knew he meant well, so she didn’t retort sharply.

Actually, she herself didn’t know why, as a girl who used to be reticent, she had talked so much today.

When Luo Ziling asked her something, she felt it was impolite not to reply—her mindset had unconsciously shifted, maybe because she saw the clear smile on Luo Ziling’s face!

“Why don’t you call someone over, so I can instruct them on a few precautions?” Luo Ziling offered another suggestion.

“Alright!” Lin Lan agreed and immediately grabbed an ugly phone, dialing a few numbers.

“Shanque, come to my room,” Lin Lan said and then hung up the phone straight away.

Luo Ziling couldn’t help feeling speechless about this kind of communication between comrades.
