Chapter 1402:

The Man is Rescued

Kong Qingming was still thinking about whether the message on the sticker was real or not. He twirled the doorknob and then the door opened quietly. Still, no sound could be heard and no danger occurred.

He pushed the door open and quickly entered the room. Two people stayed outside guarding the door while the rest of the team followed him in.

The room had no windows, and in the middle was a bed near the wall . A hairless man was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. All kinds of tubes and lines were connected to his head and some devices. He was lying there quietly, wearing an oxygen mask. Some transfusion tubes were on the arms which were exposed in the air, and some fluids were flowing in them.

The man was skinny, and his eyes were deeply sunken. However, one could tell that he used to be good-looking. He looked very much like Li Yueshan. Therefore, Kong Qingming and his people didn’t even need to verify his identity.

“If you’re thinking about pulling out those tubes directly, I can tell you that he’ll die within a minute after you do that!” The mysterious man’s voice was heard from a small loudspeaker in a corner of the room.

“What should I do then?” Kong Qingming stood by the bed and asked. He didn’t dare to touch Li Yue He.

His original plan was to take Li Yue He back to Sea City Base, no matter if he were dead or alive. Even if the man died, he could still be sent to All Beings Base and turned into a zombie. Being a zombie would be better than being the enemy’s experimental subject. Huaxia people might throw him outside the base and feed him to zombies someday anyway.

However, the mysterious man seemed to want Li Yue He to stay alive.

“Walk to the left side of the bed and put your hand underneath it. You’ll find a bottle of a drug and a research report there. Give the drug to him. It’ll contain the toxins inside him for three days. You’ll have to collect all the materials that are required to keep him alive. There’s a list in the report. I hope your doctors will be capable enough to save his life.” After saying that, the man turned off the loudspeaker. Clearly, he didn’t plan to say anything else to Kong Qingming and his people.

Following the man’s instruction, Kong Qingming found a bag underneath the table taped on the other side of the bed plank. He took the bag out from under the bed and opened it to find the bottle of drug and research report.

He didn’t know how to read that kind of report, so he handed it to someone else. The man quickly leafed through it under the flashlight; then,he raised his head and nodded at Kong Qingming.

Kong Qingming didn’t give the drug to Li Yue He. After all, he didn’t know who the mysterious man was or what he wanted yet. He didn’t intend to do whatever the man said. He had found Li Yue He indeed, but he was still worried that the whole thing might be a trap.

Li Yue He was found, so the mission was already halfway accomplished. Kong Qingming and his people had done some preparations before initiating the mission.

He took out another bottle of drug, took off Li Yue He’s oxygen mask, and poured it into his mouth.

After learning that his little brother was still alive, Li Yueshan had started gathering all information about him. He wasn’t able to rescue his brother alone but did manage to get the information about his physical condition. As an intelligence worker, he had his ways to access the information about Li Yue He.

Before Kong Qingming and his people left Sea City Base, Moli had asked Li Yueshan for Li Yue He’s information and then created a dose that could keep him alive temporarily.

After giving Li Yue He the drug, Kong Qingming ordered his people to pull out all the tubes in Li Yue He’s body. The mysterious man might have done something to disable the alarm from going off when all the devices were disconnected from Li Yue He’s body.

Soon, Kong Qingming and his people brought Li Yue He out of the building. The way out was as easy as the way in. Nonetheless, Kong Qingming was feeling confused even after leaving the building. He didn’t know how to describe his feelings. It was like a dream, as though the whole thing wasn’t real.

They went out of Huaxia Base ahead of schedule and ran into Yun Meng, who was on her way in to meet with them. At that point, Kong Qingming and his people were still feeling surreal.

“Hit me.” Kong Qingming said to one of his teammates.

Clap! The man slapped heavily on the back of his head.

“Ouch! It hurts! Did you have to hit me so hard?” Suffering that slap, Kong Qingming buried his head in his arms and screamed in pain.

“I needed to hit you hard so that you can feel it for real!” said the man.

Kong Qingming didn’t know what to say.

Yun Meng looked at them with confusion, saying, “Eh? How come you’re out early? Didn’t we agree to meet at the base? Did Plan A fail?”

The only possibility that Yun Meng could think of was that the action had failed.

“No. We didn’t fail. Look!” On hearing her question, Kong Qingming quickly dropped his arms and then pointed at Li Yue He, who was carried on a strong teammate’s shoulder.

“Eh?” Yun Meng felt even more surprised. They had succeeded, and it took much less time than planned. Unbelievable!

Bewildered, Yun Meng turned to look at Li Yue He while asking the others, “Um… How did you guys do it within such a short time?”

“Because it was super easy!” The man who had slapped his captain’s head answered the question before Kong Qingming could.

“What do you mean?” Yun Meng didn’t understand.

“Well, it’s a long story. Let’s go and find somewhere to hide. Then I’ll explain it to you.” Kong Qingming waved at Yun Meng with a complicated look as he got into the car that was hidden somewhere in that area.

With curiosity, Yun Meng followed behind him and asked, “Just tell me!”

In the car, Kong Qingming told her about what had happened. After hearing the story, she popped her eyes with surprise, saying, “Um, so, you just brought him out like that? What does the man want?”

Kong Qingming shook his head and said, “We don’t know what he wants. But, there wasn’t an ambush indeed. The man has also provided us with the drug that’s supposed to keep Li Yue He alive. We didn’t give the drug to him though. Now, we’ve brought him out successfully and there’s no one chasing us. So, I assume the man wasn’t lying to us. He did want us to bring Li Yue He out safely.”

They had gone miles away from Huaxia Base already, yet no pursuers were found behind them. Clearly, the mysterious man wasn’t lying to them. However, as they were still in Huaxia Base’s territory, the man couldn’t be cleared of suspicion yet.
