“It’s over, it’s all over.”
Xiao Li or Li Hanying sat at the back seat of the official car with a grim look on his face. His mood became dourer and dourer. Pei Yong, that useless garbage, he can’t even deal with a sophomore student. Useless, utterly useless.
How he hoped he could personally kill Pei Yong this very moment, for such a mistake to occur.
Whether Pei Yong was successful in his mission or not, he did not really care. After all, the former was just a dispensable dark piece, the lowest level kind. Every member of the order embedded in a special unit would have a dark piece below them, and these dark pieces had no idea who their upline was. They were usually managed by the liaison in the area.
This was also the reason why Pei Yong knew that there were sleeper agents inside the MAD, but does not who exactly it was.
For these bottom-level sleeper agents, their activation time was determined by their superior, and it was not a big deal even if they die. But the key problem lay in that, Pei Yong was not dead.
No matter how much information Pei Yong had of the order, as long as he was caught, as Pei Yong’s superior, even if the MAD did not fish him out; the order would never let him go in any case, especially after he had acted in private.
“That damn Shao Zifeng, how were you so easily identified? It’s all your fault! Regardless of the consequences, I will kill you myself.” Li Hanying thought of the reasons for this unilateral move and gritted his teeth as he cursed Shao Zifeng in his heart.
“What should I do, I can’t just sit still.” With a large number of MAD operatives spread throughout the city, the pressure in Li Hanying’s heart increased sharply. If Pei Yong was arrested, then the order would never let him go. Gritting his teeth, he decided to take the risk as he raised his pale face, and looked at Brother Wang who was driving. He quietly touched the dagger in his boots with his right hand, as a murderous intent flash across his eyes.
Ding!
The crisp ringtone interrupted Li Hanying’s actions, as he casually withdrew his right hand and picked up the phone.
“I have been ordered to investigate Mi Na and Li Jianchi’s cause of death. All sleepers in Sucheng City should refrain from acting rashly. If there are any special circumstances, report to me first. Enforcer: Tomb Fox.”
Li Hanying weakly leaned onto the back of the seat. While he was relieved, he also had other thoughts. He hoped that this enforcer was easy enough to bribe so that he still had a way to survive.
As he thought of it, he picked up his cell phone and typed out a text message before sending it to Tomb Fox.
…
Shao Zifeng, who was bored out of his wits laying on the bed, dug out a blood-stained cell phone from the travel bag on the side. There was no trace of anyone rummaging through his back, and the elemental egg was lying quietly inside the towel. He heaved a sigh of relief, as expected of an official unit.
After unlocking the phone with usual deftness, he activated the platform’s app and wanted to ask the platform to check on the sales of energy potions. He entered the inquiry into the transaction panel, and rows of goods appeared on the screen, a little like an in-game storefront.
Ignoring the low-level energy potions, Shao Zifeng turned directly to the last page, and finally, a few sales information appeared before him.
“Energy Potion Type-VIII, price 275,000 yuan, out of stock.”
Shao Zifeng sighed. Even the platform did not sell it, but that also made sense. Even the official channel had a limited supply of energy potions, so no matter how powerful the platform was, it was impossible to provide an unlimited supply of it. He then flipped over to the pages at the front and saw that the Type-IV, V, VI, VII Energy Potions were all out of stock. He hesitated for a moment and in the end opted not to buy the first three-levels of potions.
The issue of whether potions of that level of purity could cultivate the elemental egg to a five-star aptitude or not aside; since it had the potential to have a high aptitude, Shao Zifeng was unwilling to go cheap on it.
At this moment, he remembered before Luo Feng left, he had rewards that he could apply from. He then sighed, it seems like he could only place his sight on that, but he could not only focus on a single element so as to avoid suspicion.
Putting down his phone, Shao Zifeng stared blankly at the ceiling. He stretched his right hand out and waved at the void. After waiting for a while, there was no dimensional rift opening up.
He then tried to communicate with the pet beast dimension, and there was still no response. He was both disappointed and somewhat regretful… It seemed like… he had been overly strict with Ballie.
Knock, knock…
There was a knock on the door, as a petite nurse with a nurse hat pushed open the door and walked in. “Hello, Mr. Shao. I’m here to check your body. If there is no problem, you can be discharged today.”
“So soon?” Shao Zifeng was a little surprised.
He subconsciously raised his arm, and the tearing pain was no longer there. He then reacted and shook his head, he was still accustomed to using scientific thinking of the past timeline to see things.
In this timeline filled with incredible creatures, while humans had not gained the same mystical powers as the animals, their physique had been greatly improved, and various fatal diseases had all disappeared, so it was rare for someone to die of illness.
However, another problem had emerged in its place. The constant fighting had caused a large number of casualties, therefore the treatment of combat injuries had become the main developmental direction of medicine in this timeline. Although it had not reached the point of resurrecting the dead, for most common internal injuries could be healed up to 80 to 90% in a single day.
The petite nurse smiled when she heard this, revealing a pair of cute little fanged teeth. “Mr. Shao, you may not know, but Director Luo has told us to give you the best medicine.”
Shao Zifeng smiled awkwardly and then stopped talking as he let the little nurse perform the check-up. He looked at the various instruments he had never seen before recording his physical condition and vital signs, yet he felt uncomfortable. He always detested anyone approaching him, somewhat similar to a stress response, not to mention the person approaching him was of the opposite sex.
Hmm… it was not because he was not straight. He was, no doubt, very straight. He just felt uncomfortable.
He simply just closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything.
“Congratulations, Mr. Shao. Your physical condition indicates that you are ready to be discharged. You will be fine as long as you don’t do any high-intensity exercise, um… including that particular kind of exercise.” The petite nurse blushed as she spoke and sneaked a peak at Shao Zifeng. He was so handsome!
Shao Zifeng was clueless.
That particular kind of exercise? What kind of exercise? I’m a bloody single parent who am I supposed to “exercise” with? A bloody lizard, pfah… No way!
Shao Zifeng nodded blankly, indicating that he noted in down. He then looked at the little nurse and motioned to her to see if she had anything else to say to him.
After finishing her work, the little nurse who was infatuated, saw Shao Zifeng motioning to her. She was a little confused at first, wondering what he wanted to do. Could it be…!
The little nurse then suddenly realized it, then her expression became a little twitchy as she turned and ran to the desk. She held a piece of paper and pen, doing something with her back facing him. Later, she ran back to him with her head down and stuffed a note into his hand, blushing before running out of the ward.
Shao Zifeng was dumbfounded as he looked at the little nurse’s disappearing silhouette. I just wanted to ask if Luo Feng left any messages for me. Why are you being shy? Why are you running away?
With the fragrant paper in his hand, Shao Zifeng had a bad feeling about it as he slowly opened the note.
“My name is Qu Xiaoxiao, and my contact number is XXXXXXXX. Yeah, once I’m on my break, I can accept your invitation out for a meal. ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄”
Huh?
