Hu Feng stood in the dark, as he quietly watched the busy figure, coming back and forth between those patrolmen, until she sent them away one by one.

In the large kitchen camp, she was left alone with the empty iron pot.

Hu Feng stepped out of the dark and walked step by step to her side while looking at her bright eyes under the dim light.

Bai Zhi stood by the stove and watched as he approaches her. Her heart was beating so fast for no reason. Watching his eyes staring at her, her cheeks couldn’t help but feel hot like fire. Thankfully, the surrounding was dark, he probably couldn’t see that she was blushing.

“You’re here!” Bai Zhi smiled sweetly as if she had seen a long-lost friend.

Hu Feng nodded his head: “Mmm, I smelled it.” He said with a shallow smile, but his eyes were twinkling.

Bai Zhi looked around, when she saw that nobody was around, she quickly pulled out a bottle and handed it to Hu Feng.

“This is the medicine to fake death that you want. Find a chance to give them a meal. One person must eat half of it. After taking this medicine, their heartbeat and breathing will temporarily stop. They will also have no pulse, but it can only last for 12 hours. After that, they will wake up on their own. If they were still in the barracks by then, your plan will fail.”

Hu Feng took the bottle and quickly shoved it into his sleeve: “I only heard about this medicine before. I didn’t expect that it really exists in this world. How did you get it?”

Bai Zhi replied: “I made it myself, I put a lot of effort into it. You should use it well, as to not put my effort in vain.”

Hu Feng stared at Bai Zhi. Seeing her dressed as a young man, he found it a bit refreshing: “How did you get here?”

“Don’t worry about it. If you see me at the camp in the future, don’t say hello to me. Act like you don’t know me.”

Hu Feng raised an eyebrow: “In the future? You’re not leaving?”

Bai Zhi said with a proud face: “What? If you can come here, I can’t come? I won’t leave. Starting tomorrow, I will be Shen Dafu’s assistant.” Then, she took out the identity card that Doctor Shen gave to her and showed it to him.

Hu Feng sighed, “You’re a girl, how can you stay in this barracks? No, you will leave tomorrow. There are stinky men everywhere here. It’s inconvenient for a girl like you.”

“You are a stinky man. But you used to follow behind me all the time, why you didn’t find it inconvenient?”

Hu Feng glared at her angrily: “How can they compare with me? I am your future husband. There’s nothing wrong following behind you. What does it have to do with these stinky men?”

Bai Zhi laughed inside her heart, then sniffed with her nose and asked: “Do you smell something?”

Hu Feng also sniffed with his nose, but shook his head: “No, what smell?”

“It’s sour. It’s a very strong sour smell!” Bai Zhi said with a smile. It was very fun to see him angry and helpless.”

Hu Feng sighed: “I can’t win you.”

Bai Zhi then said with a smile, but with a serious tone: “Okay, I won’t make fun of you. To tell the truth, I am staying for another purpose. Now, although you are in the military camp, it’s still not convenient for you to do everything. After you give them the fake death pill, then what? What can you do next?”

Hu Feng frowned. He was actually worried about it. Now, he was just a cook. And those who were loyal to him were in an awkward position in the army. He can’t count on them. He hasn’t come up with a perfect plan to rescue Zhou Gang and Fu Zheng.
