"Snake Head, have you found them yet?"
"Not yet, but they should still be on the mountain."
"Should, you're talking nonsense! It's all your fault for ssing up. I'm giving you another half an hour, if you still can't find them, then handle it yourself."
"Half an hour, fine, I will definitely find the two of them."
The operation to hunt down Xiaofan and Lin Miaoke on the mountain was still ongoing.
But as ti slowly passed, they were starting to get anxious.
This base absolutely can't be discovered by the police. The complexity of the connections, Snake Head knew it better than anyone.
The only reason he was still alive here was that the organization hadn't had ti to deal with his life or death yet.
If they couldn't find them in half an hour, the entire organization might have to evacuate.
Although the mountain was large, all exits were heavily guarded, making it impossible for them to get down the mountain. But why couldn't they find them even after surrounding the area where the gunshots were heard earlier?
At this mont, Xiaofan and Lin Miaoke had already entered the base no one would expect to find.
Which ant they probably still had half an hour of safety.
"This way..."
Even though they were inside the base, there were many caras inside. Xiaofan tried to avoid facing the caras directly, and even if he encountered them, he would move towards the corners of the caras.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about Mutants?" Lin Miaoke was increasingly curious about Xiaofan's identity.
Even if he could correctly predict everything earlier, he was just extraordinarily intelligent. But now, he even knew about mutant research, which was sothing ordinary people couldn't possibly know.
"Let's find a safe place first..."
Xiaofan's breathing began to quicken, and Lin Miaoke's body was soaked in sweat. The oxygen content in this vast cave was very low, clearly indicating that the ventilation was poor in these passages.
"Hey."
"Ah?"
Xiaofan's steps gradually slowed, and suddenly he stopped.
"You hide alone for now."
"? Alone? Why?" Lin Miaoke asked in confusion.
"It's inconvenient for to move with you."
"I... what are you planning?"
"Stop wasting ti, hide now. When they decide to evacuate, follow them out. Rember, don't follow them to the new organization on your own; you're no match for them."
"You're so strange, how can you change your mind so quickly."
"Go!"
Xiaofan's voice grew slightly agitated, but he suddenly crouched down, his eyes turning vacant.
"What's wrong with you?" Noticing sothing amiss, Lin Miaoke hurriedly approached.
Xiaofan hadn't expected excessive blood loss to be so severe. He had pressed certain points, but the bleeding still hadn't stopped completely.
Since the injury was on his back, Xiaofan couldn't handle many key points, and now he couldn't stop moving; if he were discovered, it would be even worse.
Seeing the blood trickling down Xiaofan's fingers, Lin Miaoke's face changed dramatically.
Earlier, when he put his hand on her shoulder, he was already on the verge of collapse, just wanting support. And she... pushed him away.
Lin Miaoke, when will you mature a bit? He risked his life to save you, yet you feared he was taking advantage of you without realizing his initial injury.
"You go first, I'll just rest for a bit..."
"What silly talk, I'll carry you." Leaving him here and moving forward alone, Lin Miaoke had no confidence. She suddenly realized how clueless she was about what to do next without his guidance.
He was gravely injured, yet he could have escaped alone. Why did he co back?
For a mont, looking at the foreigner unable to stand, Lin Miaoke's mind was in turmoil.
"Do a favor."
"Hmm?"
"Stab this into my back."
"This?" Looking at the long silver needle in Xiaofan's hand, Lin Miaoke hesitantly took it.
"Near the back of my heart, feel around with your hand."
"Here?"
"A bit to the left."
"Here?" Lin Miaoke continued to search.
"Move three milliters more."
"This?"
"Yes, that's it. When you insert it, do it quickly, all in one go." Xiaofan continued guiding her.
"But isn't that the heart area? Any puncture, no matter how small, could be fatal." Lin Miaoke worriedly asked.
"No, this is just close to the heart. Puncture directly here, it will be fine. Trust ."
"Really?"
"Damn it, do you think I'd joke about my life? Hurry up..."
Lin Miaoke seriously focused on the spot Xiaofan ntioned, aiming at that area and firmly inserted the needle.
"Hmm." Xiaofan groaned in pain, his expression contorted as he used both hands to support himself on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Lin Miaoke quickly crouched beside him.
In truth, any mistake there could be lethal. Not only was it near the heart, but it also connected many crucial blood vessels at the heart's junction. Once punctured, it could be deadly.
It was only because he had no choice that Xiaofan asked Lin Miaoke, who knew nothing about this, to help him with the needle. He hadn't told her about the potential risk to avoid burdening her with too much pressure.
Sure enough, Xiaofan gambled right again. This needle might not completely stop the bleeding, but it could slow down the circulation and prevent the wound on his back from bleeding faster.
"Hey, what are you two doing over there?"
Just when Xiaofan wanted to rest for a few minutes, three people appeared in the tunnel, shouting from a distance as they approached Xiaofan.
Seeing them coming, Lin Miaoke stood up warily, ready to protect Xiaofan.
At this mont, Xiaofan grabbed Lin Miaoke's hand: "Don't be nervous."
Struggling to stand, Xiaofan gently placed his hand on Lin Miaoke's shoulder. This ti, Lin Miaoke didn't dodge but leaned closer to him, offering him better support.
"What are you doing? You can't wander here."
"Sorry, I got injured outside and wanted to go to the dical room for so dicine, but we're new and don't know where the dical room is, so we got lost."
