Chapter 28
The fighting burst special effect has pa.s.sed the thirty-day buffer period. Su Shi didn"t mind using these precious three seconds to resolve the b.a.s.t.a.r.d politician who ruined his experience points.
Perhaps the murderous intent radiating from Su Shi was too obvious, Terence was already a little unstable. He clutched the controller and stuttered out a threat, "Daniel, don"t come over here, I will really press-"
His words came to an abrupt end. Only gurgling sounds came from his throat. Blood poured out of his mouth, and the incredulous light in his eyes gradually faded.
The dagger had cut through his throat.
Su Shi skillfully retracted the dagger. He pushed away the silent dying body and firmly caught the deadly controller with his other hand.
There was a delay, and then cheers went up in the crowds.
People in the building were cheering, as were the crowds on the streets outside. People rushed to tell each other with excitement, and finally the last haze completely disappeared from their faces, and the tears of surprise for the rest of their lives flashed in their eyes.
Su Shi, who was still holding the controller, was obviously not faring as well as the reveling crowd.
According to conventional norms, his body could not withstand such a strong explosive action. In addition, there was the wound in his chest. He should have fallen down with a relieved smile by now.
He was too careless. The effect of the royal potions was actually this good.
Su Shi, who had missed the best fainting opportunity, stood stiffly for a while, and finally had to resign himself to fate. He used the controller to shut down the detonation device within the protective cover, and diligently dragged Terence"s body out of the barrier.
The protective cover melted away into the ground, silently, as if nothing had happened.
Terence"s body was taken away immediately, but the people were afraid to come forward because of his aura. Su Shi had nothing to do for a while. He stood where he was and blankly looked around for the lieutenant, when someone suddenly caught on to his wrist.
Su Shi"s heart sank and he slowly turned around.
The strength of that hand was so heavy that he could almost hear his wrist bone faintly creaking. Su Shi"s eyes flickered, and he guiltily avoided Wayne"s eyes, but he couldn"t help hissing from the pain in his wrist.
The strength around his wrist immediately lightened up, and the other hand steadily supported his shoulder. "Don"t move. Have the doctor take a look."
The voice was calm and steady. Su Shi raised his head subconsciously and was met with obvious concern in the other party"s gaze. Finally, his mood settled, and he straightforwardly relaxed into Wayne"s embrace.
The medic came over quickly and bandaged the wound briefly for him, but his eyes still held some worry. He raised his head and hesitated with his words.
Wayne held him with one arm and was directing his subordinates to clean up the mess. Thus, he did not notice their actions.
Su Shi withdrew his gaze from his HP bar, un.o.btrusively shook his head at the medic, looked up at Wayne"s taut face, and sighed very lightly.
Originally, he thought things could end like this.
The ending could not be changed anymore. Of the several main plotlines he could choose, falling down here was already the most acceptable one.
The military doctor lowered his head deeply, endured the tears in his eyes, packed up his equipment, straightened up, and solemnly saluted him.
When Su Su nodded slightly, he also showed some rea.s.suring grat.i.tude.
"How is it? Do you feel a little better?"
Wayne settled the situation at hand before withdrawing his gaze and lowering his head warmly.
To meet the other person"s concerned eyes, Su Shi picked up the corner of his mouth and nodded gently, trying to make his tone more relaxed. “Your potion works very well. My body is a lot better. It just looks really bad, but it is nothing…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was picked up bridal style.
It was the first time he was held like this while conscious. Su Shi lifted his head stupidly, hurriedly pulled on Wayne"s shoulders to stabilize his body, and then he opened his mouth to protest, but he was met with those eyes ignited with flames and lost his voice in a flash.
The last time he saw such a terrible look was when he was talking about the lunatic teacher.
The att.i.tude this time seemed to be much more serious than the last time. The fierce airflow hit his cheek, the dark flame burned fiercely, and it seemed that it could easily burn everything he touched.
Su Shi was completely guilty. He avoided Wayne"s gaze and tried to find support with the last ray of hope, but found that the lieutenant was just holding his arms to his side and had no intention of approaching to help.
"Daniel was badly injured. I"ll take him for treatment first. Carter, you will be responsible for the follow up situation."
Wayne gave a brief explanation and strode out the door holding him.
Su Shi"s vision darkened, and he finally closed his eyes weakly and sadly.
Didn"t dare to look. Didn"t dare to look.
The royal potion was really effective. When Wayne put him into bed, Su Shi"s chest wound was almost completely healed, leaving only a pale pink scar.
