Chapter 994: Don’t Let Go
Xia Jinyuan patted off the sand from his face and supported the unsteady Ye Jian with one hand as he glanced at the dry river bed, “We’re about a hundred meters away in the West. Don’t move, the both of us will go over and regroup. Let…”
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jian slammed Xia Jinyuan’s body with her shoulder and bellowed, “Get down! Get down!”
The power used for the high wall’s security has been restored, and the lights were beaming across the desert. The 90-degree vertical sand slope was not close to the sand surface. The top part would be exposed entirely if the light s.h.i.+nes over.
They finally managed to escape, how could they go in again?
The lights were scanning the area back and forth. It was until the soldiers confirmed that they didn’t find anything did the lights retract and start scanning the base.
“Get a shot of antibiotics and another one for fever. Let the fever go away first. Don’t burn up your brain.”
K7’s fever was burning him up, leaving him a little dazed. Hearing that, he sneered softly, “Q King, you were suffering from a fever back then in the highlands too. You didn’t burn your brain up. Nothing’s gonna happen to me.”
“Shut up!” Xia Jinyuan broke the small gla.s.s medicine bottle with his hand and took out the long and thin needle syringe. He then pa.s.sed it to Ye Jian, “You do it. He has thick skin, you should exert more force.”
K7 looked at Ye Jian and tugged his lips. Although you couldn’t see the facial features on his thin face, he smiled, “Do it on my left arm.”
His body was tensed up. The drug for his nerves was not only making his muscles sore but also making them taut.
Ye Jian didn’t refuse him and gave him two injections skillfully. “Get in the car first. This is not a good place to stay around. This area will become a key search area when they have reacted.”
The needles and the medicine were all prepared by the military, and they were especially strong. The effects came quickly after the two jabs.
After the two injections, Ye Jian could feel K7’s body slowly relaxing. She retracted her hand and gently held onto his. She could feel something sticky on her hand. It was stained by the blood flowing from K7’s arm.
Turning her head, she whispered to Xia Jinyuan, “K7 is still bleeding, we have to leave as soon as possible.”
“Let him take a breather before leaving.” Faced with his comrade’s injuries, Xia Jinyuan wasn’t at peace either. Even his voice sounded a little tense. They finally met again after he was captured for six days… No one wanted such a thing to happen, but once it happens, he will do his utmost to rescue him. Even if he’s injured, he will still rescue his comrade.
Ye Jian glanced sideways at the silent man, then gently raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. There was tenderness in her words, “Everything is over. We’re leaving. Everything is over.”
Before she retracted her hand, he held it. His rough fingers rubbed her hand softly. After a while, Xia Jinyuan said, “This is our profession, Little Fox. Look at your goal. The goals that you are pursuing will sometimes be more dangerous than this.”
“I just hope that you will keep holding my hand and never let it go.”
“No, I will never give up or regret the path I took. Although it is dangerous, it is more worthy of admiration.” Ye Jian replied, gentle and faint as before, yet full of resolve.
Behind both of them, G3 raised his hand and touched K7’s forehead, “Did you drink water? Your voice sounds as though smoke is coming out of your throat. Is it your horrible obsession with cleanliness? Did you refuse to drink water?”
