Xia Jinyuan wiped the sand off his face and helped support Ye Jian, who was having trouble standing straight, with one hand. He eyed the dried-up river bed, “We’re around 100 meters West, you guys don’t move, we’ll be there immediately, let…”
Before he finished his sentence, Ye Jian bumped into Xia Jinyuan with her shoulder and spoke with a lowered voice, “Get down! Get down!”
The power supply for the security measures on top of the wall was reconnected, and the range of the spotlight could reach several hundred meters. The 90-degree cliff-dune doesn’t reach the top of the wall, so if the spotlight shone down on them, they’d be discovered instantly.
They’ve finally managed to escape, so how could they go back in once again.
The spotlight swept across the land back and forth until the sentries on the wall confirmed that they had not discovered anything three times. Only then did they retract the light to sweep the air above the headquarters.
“Here’s a syringe of antibiotics and a syringe of fever reducer. We’ll have to reduce the fever, so your brain doesn’t get fried to mush.”
K7, who was slightly dazed from the fever, heard him and harrumphed, “Q King, I didn’t even see you fry your brain to mush when you had a fever all those years ago in the mountains. This doesn’t even amount to anything.”
“Zip it!” Xia Jinyuan used his hand to open the small glass vial; he pulled out a long and thin needle to pull up some of the medicine and gave it to Ye Jian. “You do it. He has thick skin, so stick it in harder.”
K7 eyed Ye Jian, who took the syringe. Tugging the corner of his lips, a slight smile appeared on the gaunt face whose features couldn’t be clearly seen anymore, “Stick it on the left shoulder.”
His body had been tensed up the whole time. The nerve pain amplifier not only made his muscles painfully sore, but it also caused his muscles to tense.
Ye Jian didn’t refuse; after taking the syringe, she injected K7 twice with frequent movements. “First, get in the car, we shouldn’t linger in this place. By the time their higher-ups have come to their senses, this area would become their top priority search location.”
The syringe and medications were items prepared by the military and both specially made powerful remedies. After his two injections, it didn’t take long for the medicine to show their abilities.
After two injections, Ye Jian could sense K7’s constantly tense body start to relax slowly. She balled the fists of her pulled backhand, and there was a sticky feeling in her palm. The blood flowing from K7’s arm had gotten on her hand.
Turning her head, she quietly told Xia Jinyuan: “K7’s still bleeding, we need to leave quickly.”
“We’ll leave after letting him take a breather.” Facing the injuries of his comrade, Xia Jinyuan’s heart was not at peace, and even the tone of his reply was slightly tense. Finally seeing each other after being held captive for six days…, nobody wanted something like this to happen, and whenever it does, they’ll definitely give their all to perform a rescue. Even if they get hurt, they’ll still bring their comrades back home alive.
Ye Jian turned to eye the man who had gone silent, then gently patted his shoulder, a gentleness could be felt in her quiet voice, “It’s all over after we leave this place, everything will be over.”
Before she pulled back the hand on his shoulder, it was gripped by the man with taut shoulders; his coarse fingers gently caressed her hand. Only after a while had passed did Xia Jinyuan spoke out sternly: “This is our occupation, little fox, take a look at your goal, the goal you are pursuing is at times much more dangerous than something like this.”
“I only wish for you to keep holding my hand and that the day that you let go never comes.”
“That won’t happen, I’ve never regretted the things I’ve chosen, neither will I give up. Although dangerous, it is much more deserving of respect.” Ye Jian answered him, softly, casually, yet incomparably determined, like all those years ago when she answered him.
Behind the backs of the two people on watch, G3 raised his hand to touch K7’s forehead, “Did you drink any water? Hearing from your voice, your throat must be smoking. Did your fatal germaphobic tendencies act up? Did you refuse to drink water?”
