Chapter 986: Footsteps That Will Never Stop
K7 wasn’t on the Southwestern block. Instead, he was in a place that resembled ST’s medical facility; he appeared in the medical facility… if it weren’t because K7 had responded to the secret code, she would’ve doubted whether or not the person inside was K7.
From the Southwestern block to the Eastern block, two hours were used to verify his true location. From now on, everything depended on Xia Jinyuan2 and the other’s next move.
After Ye Jian1 handed the necessities to K7, she didn’t linger for another moment. Her slim body relied on the petite build of a woman as she agilely rolled across the flat rooftop. The rooftop wasn’t made of cement. Instead, everything was a mix of gravel and clay. When she rolled across the rooftop, the sharp gravel pieces pressed painfully into her flesh.
When she rolled to the edge of the building, Ye Jian gently patted away the sand dust on her white mesh shirt; she needed this for camouflage, so she can’t take it off just yet.
Her hands gripped tightly onto the edge of the roof, then leaped down softly. With movements like a feline, the moment Ye Jian landed, she stuck her body close to the wall. Only after making sure that no patrols were nearby did she dart away.
There wasn’t any light in the room, so she was unable to check how bad K7’s injuries were, but from the sounds of coughing he transmitted to tell her, he indicated everything was fine, he could save himself.
… His coughing voice was low and hoarse, like shattered tempered glass, it sounded like there was a false sense of stability on the edge of shattering, just from listening to his voice… Ye Jian couldn’t hold back the distress in her heart, something clogged up her throat as well as her eyes, the suffocating feeling pained her heart.
How could K7 be fine…, all the ‘criminals’ in the Southwestern block were beaten up and covered in injuries. They didn’t have so much clothing to cover themselves up, everyone’s eyes were filled with gray despair,… they were tortured to the point where even death was considered a luxury.
In such an environment, K7, a captive who had killed a significant figure, was he truly fine? There’s no way he could be fine!
Guns, daggers, and everything else were delivered inside. Hopefully, K7 was still capable of self-defense.
Ye Jian, who had completed the first half of the rescue operation, had successfully avoided four teams of patrolling mercenaries. Hearing the shrieks coming from the Southwestern block every now and then, she sneaked around as silent as a cat, and Ye Jian headed towards the direction most heavily guarded.
There was where the name list the military had ordered her to retrieve was located. There were three floors from top to bottom, two floors aboveground, and one underground, and she needed to infiltrate the underground to retrieve the name list… As to whether or not the name list was really underground, the person who gave them the intel couldn’t verify it, nor could the military verify this information.
It doesn’t matter if it was true or not, she’ll have to infiltrate inside.
After nightfall, the temperature in the desert lowered rapidly. Ye Jian suddenly felt like she had once again returned to the time where she was training with Principal Chen in the desert where the sand dust was sandwiched in the wind. Now her whole chest seemed to be filled with sand.
Silently with her back on the wall, Ye Jian, with a stiffened straight back, counted down the time in her heart. Twenty minutes… Xia Jinyuan and the others could only give her twenty minutes, twenty minutes till the bomb exploded, while she takes advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the underground level.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6……3, 2, 1
“Boom… boom…” Less than 200 meters away from the central area, sounds of explosions erupted consecutively. Following the shaking of the earth, the whole ST base was in chaos, before a minute had passed, pandemonium ensued.
“F*cking hell, who’s there, get the f*ck out here!”
“Quick, some b*stards had slipped in! Alert, alert!!”
Piercing whistles were blown, countless mercenaries locked down each and every point of entry, rows upon rows of machine guns were mounted. If anyone rushed out from inside, they’d immediately be shot to pieces, not even leaving an intact corpse behind.
The smell of the TNT explosives was considerably horrendous. When the wind brought it over, a large amount of the mercenaries were put down.
