“Elder Liu, I used fishbone and tree bark fibers to forcefully seal up your wound. The problem is that… we might have contaminated it. There is pus oozing out from it. What should we do next?” Han GuangMing asked him for advice.
“You did very well… Help me sit… upright…” Liu Gan weakly replied.
“Very well.” Han GuangMing called over Zhao Meng for assistance in helping adjust Liu Gan by the tree trunk.
“How long have I slept?” Liu Gan continued asking Han GuangMing.
“From yesterday night until today, it hasn’t been too long,” Han GuangMing replied to Liu Gan.
“We… stayed at the same location… as yesterday?” Liu Gan moved a little to look around.
“Yes” Han GuangMing nodded.
“Leave me behind, you have to lead them to escape. Bears have good memory and they will hold a grudge. If you stay here, it will come back again tonight to exact revenge. You might die under its claws,” Liu Gan tried his best to speak.
High fever was induced as a symptom of being infected by bacteria. Now that Liu Gan had a bacterial infection in his body, the health status indicator on his wrist watch changed from red to black. He knew that his condition wouldn’t be resolved anytime soon.
“No! We won’t leave you behind!” Han GuangMing shook his head.
“It isn’t the problem of you leaving me behind, but it is pointless to stand guard for me. You are waiting to die with me. If you find the path to leave this jungle area, you can head to the Biochemical Intelligence Research Center. Vice-leader He should be there waiting for me, she can come find me… If I am still alive…” Liu Gan continued to whisper.
“No! I won’t leave you behind! Absolutely not!” Han GuangMing started tearing up.
“This is an order,” Liu Gan frowned.
“Even if this is an order, I can’t abide by it! We will make a stretcher. If we have to leave, we will carry you out! Without Elder Liu, we will never be able to leave the jungle.” Han GuangMing had Zhao Meng and Jiang JinYuan carry over a stretcher. Without saying much, they moved Liu Gan onto it. Earlier they had dried some of their clothes in the sun. They collected them now and piled them onto Liu Gan’s body.
Liu Gan was burning up from the fever, as he drowsily look up at the sun beyond the canopy. Unaware, he fainted again.

“My dear boy, Gan…” a familiar voice whispered by Liu Gan’s ears.
“Mom?” Liu Gan opened his eyes. Mysteriously, his surroundings had changed and along with it, the weather too. He was no longer within the jungle.
Snow. There was snow everywhere.
