Soon, Wen Yao came in a hurry, followed by the medical team.
When she saw Shi An in Mu Heng's arms, she was slightly taken aback – although she knew that the chief would not leave Shi An in the snow, she did not expect him to pick the other party up himself.
After a brief period of stunned silence, Wen Yao quickly returned to a calm and professional state.
She stepped forward quickly, wanting to take the sleeping boy from Mu Heng's arms, but he seemed to have not seen her outstretched hands and asked calmly, "Where's the medical tent?"
Wen Yao was shocked for two seconds and replied subconsciously, "Er, outside the cave…"
"Mm." Mu Heng nodded, carried Shi An, and walked straight out.
Wen Yao stared at Mu Heng’s slender and upright back as he left and did not return to her senses for a long time.
Wait a minute, didn’t Chief hate physical contact with people? !
…But, why did he seem to have rejected her just now?
Was it an illusion? Was it really an illusion? !
Mu Heng brought Shi An to the medical tent but encountered great resistance in the step of "putting the other side down".
The young man's seemingly thin body was somehow detachable from Mu Heng’s arm. His head of short hair continued to rub against Mu Heng's chest.
The outer clothes on Mu Heng's body were all torn, revealing the black dress shirt inside. The strong, muscular lines of his chest were clearly visible through the rips.
The picture got worse.
Medical staff: "…"
They froze in place, staring at Mu Heng's icy profile with flickering expressions, feeling a little uncertain how to help in this situation in their hearts.
More importantly, was this kind of thing really something they could watch?
There was still no expression on Mu Heng's face, and his voice was indifferent and low.
"You can go out."
The medical staff rushed out of the tent as if they had been granted amnesty and disappeared in front of Mu Heng in the blink of an eye.
They seemed to fear being silenced.
Only Mu Heng and Shi An were left in the medical tent.
Mu Heng looked down at the young man in his arms, frowning slightly.
It was the same in the hospital before–the other party didn't let go no matter what, and he had to take off his jacket to get out.
Surprisingly, this was not annoying to him.
Mu Heng paused, stretched out his hands expressionlessly, and undid the buttons of his coat one by one.
Then, he skillfully wrapped Shi An up and stuffed him into the medical bed in front of him.
Another one of his coats was in the other’s possession.
The young boy on the bed frowned slightly.
Mu Heng stopped mid-turn.
He reached for the fire gem in his pocket. In the palm of the hand, the gemstone shone with a pale red luster, emitting a steady stream of heat.
Mu Heng bent down and lightly stuffed the gem back into Shi An's pocket.
Then, he casually took a different coat from the medical tent and draped it over his body. He turned and walked out.
The medical staff who had been snooping earlier suddenly pretended like they hadn’t seen anything. Why had the chief changed? What was he doing inside?
They didn’t know, and they were too afraid to ask.
Mu Heng glanced at them, and his eyes were inscrutable, "Go in."
After that, he strode quickly towards the cave.
The previously charred ground had been covered with a thick layer of snow, crunching under his feet, and light spilled in from the gradually .
Mu Heng stopped in the center of the cave.
Where did the dragon go?
More importantly, why did it avoid confrontation with humans?
Wen Yao walked over, "Sir, you are here."
"Mm."
Mu Heng retracted his gaze and nodded calmly, his tone was cold and deep, revealing nothing about his feelings.
"What did the technical team find?"
Wen Yao reported, "According to the current preliminary inspection, this cave has existed for at least 10,000 years. There are traces of abyssal energy here as well as marks of dragon flame. This cave might have come into the overworld from the abyssal rift, and the traces of dragon flame span from recent years to tens of thousands of years ago. It probably became a dragon cave a long time ago.”
She was summarizing the findings methodically when suddenly, one of the technicians in the outer cave exclaimed:
"This, this is—!"

Wen Yao was startled, then turned her head to look in the direction from which the voice came.
The technician who seemed to have found something gathered the equipment, ran hurriedly in their direction, and hurriedly said, "Sir, sir, look at this—!"
Mu Heng lowered his silvery eyelashes and looked at the instrument in the opponent's hand.
"Just now, I was able to detect traces of recent activity! It isn’t super recent, there has probably been a period of time since they were here, but they were definitely here after the cave emerged from the abyss."
Wen Yao, "So you mean…"
The technician nodded affirmatively:
"That's right, we weren't the first humans to discover this cave.
Someone discovered this place before we did. "
