Free Web NovelChapter 83: Chapter 83: True Man Bai Wu
The Bai Wu that appeared before everyone was already displaying signs of a mortal wound. Yet, he calmly stated, "The mission target has been found."
Lin Wurou and the others knew that Bai Wu seemed to have a significant problem with his reaction to pain and was almost immune to negative emotions.
But many others didn’t know this; they just thought Bai Wu possessed an iron will, bearing a fatal injury to report the progress of the mission to his superior—this is what a man of my Investigation Corps is like!
Liu Mu recognized Bai Wu’s face—that was the kid who had rejected the invitation to join his Team Thirteen.
How long had it been, not even half a month... and he had already gone to the Purple Zone with Wu Jiu?
Putting together Wu Jiu’s reaction just now, Bai Wu must have been in danger. Without Wu Jiu... this kid actually managed to come back alone?
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted not using strong-arm tactics to drag the youngster into Team Thirteen from the start.
The crowd sized up Bai Wu, and Bai Wu assessed the crowd in turn.
There wasn’t much to observe about the people from the Investigation Corps, and quickly his gaze landed on a woman.
[Most women prefer men who are much taller than they are, but there is a minority of women who like to be much taller than the men, especially enjoying the days when they walked shoulder to shoulder with Little Dwarf at the scavenging port. This is a woman with ruthless means, and my three suggestions are: befriend, befriend, and befriend. What? You also want her age and measurements? How are you any different from that thief!]
It was the woman who liked Dwarf. With her figure and facial features... Dwarf really is a winner in life; he might not be tall, but he stands high.
Since she is the wife of a superior, he certainly should cultivate a good relationship with her.
However, right now Bai Wu estimated that he was about to go into shock from excessive blood loss, and his consciousness was already beginning to blur.
He forced himself to stay conscious, and whispered into Wu Jiu’s ear:
"Captain, take this—it will lead you to the target."
Bai Wu handed over half of the heart to Wu Jiu.
When he had been holding the half heart in his hand earlier, he could always hear a girl speaking non-stop and see many pictures.
He was convinced that the half-heart was some sort of communicator.
With it, one could maintain a connection with Yan Jiu, and if Yan Jiu died, it could also keep a connection with the next generation of the Yan Family.
But the descendants of the Yan Family could actively block perception.
Oftentimes, Yan Jiu was not very willing to contact that evil ancestor of her own, due to the heavy resentment.
Furthermore, the visions that came through were only constant deaths, one after another.
The belly-slit woman rarely initiated contact with Yan Jiu, and interactions between the two would occur only once every few days, or sometimes even once in a fortnight.
Until a few dozen minutes ago, the belly-slit woman established a connection with Yan Jiu, and for the first time in the same decade-old scene, a man suddenly appeared and loudly confessed his love for her...
In her life, despised by all, she heard for the first time someone using the word ’love’ in relation to herself.
Wu Jiu took the half heart and instantly understood Bai Wu’s intention—scenes from Yan Jiu’s location started to emerge in his mind.
It was as if he shared Yan Jiu’s vision, but the scene quickly vanished.
"How could he hand over something so important to someone else!"
Following the mysterious emergence of these words in his mind, the connection between Wu Jiu and Yan Jiu was severed by Yan Jiu.
The scenery in his consciousness also disappeared instantly. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
However, Wu Jiu now knew the location, and like Bai Wu, he couldn’t be bothered to ponder over the girl’s state of mind—the mission was simple now—
Proceed to the long-abandoned school on the third level, find Yan Jiu, kill or capture the kidnappers, and then return Yan Jiu to the Asylum.
As for additional intelligence, Wu Jiu didn’t want to bother with it for the time being.
Why, in the Purple Zone, was there an object that could sense the children of the Yan Family on the fifth level?
Just this question alone was enough to indicate the gravity of the situation.
"Captain, who is the second strongest in the Investigation Corps?" Bai Wu suddenly asked just before losing consciousness.
"There are three tied for the position, but Liu Mu has the best synergy with me."
"Take him along! Or bring several more experts, the more the merrier. Just don’t let that person get away."
Bai Wu couldn’t ascertain who had kidnapped Yan Jiu. He had thought of Cain, and if it really was Cain...
Bai Wu wasn’t confident about who was stronger, the captain or Cain. But the person definitely had to be rescued. If there was anyone in High Tower capable of battling this dangerous individual, it could only be the captain.
After saying this, Bai Wu, without any warning, closed his eyes and fainted.
This scene was somewhat abrupt, as nothing in his expression beforehand betrayed it. Despite his serious injuries, Bai Wu had managed to maintain an air of "a mere scratch, hardly worth mentioning."
It was only when he suddenly passed out and Wu Jiu caught him that everyone realized he had been tensing up all along.
Liu Mu couldn’t help but admire Bai Wu even more.
"Yin Shuang!"
"Cao An!"
Wu Jiu and Liu Mu called over the members of their team who possessed healing abilities.
This type of ability was quite rare. Initially, Yin Shuang was part of the internal affairs group. Upon learning of her ability, Wu Jiu sought her opinion and transferred her to the Vanguard Group.
However, only Bai Wu knew Yin Shuang’s true ability.
"His bones have been crushed; this is the work of Evil Fallen, isn’t it? Impressive, the way he could maintain composure for so long..."
Cao An of the thirteenth squad’s Vanguard Group, upon seeing Bai Wu’s injuries, had a great deal of respect for him.
Even Captain Liu... I’m afraid he would have cursed a few times with such injuries, right?
"Can this young man be healed?" Liu Mu asked.
"Should be possible, but it will take some time."
Although Bai Wu’s injuries were severe, the power of the Innate Force and abilities could surpass the medical standards of his previous life, at least in terms of treating physical injuries.
After all, in his previous life, the medical skill tree advanced through technology, whereas in this life, it advanced through theology. freёwebnovel.com
"We should take him to the hospital first. These injuries can’t be cured just by abilities," Yin Shuang said.
Wu Jiu nodded, then said to Liu Mu:
"Liu, come with me."
"Damn, you make me sound like a criminal. Aren’t you going to accompany to the hospital?"
"There are more important things right now. Come with me to the third floor."
Upon hearing that they were going to the third floor, Liu Mu understood.
...
...
There were a total of four hospitals at the bottom, none of them private. All four were built by the administrators of the fourth floor, but the administrators of all four hospitals were from the same faction.
The Investigation Corps was efficient, and in no time, Bai Wu was sent to the closest hospital.
But there was a new development outside the hospital.
When Wu Jiu returned to High Tower, not only her but also Ming Che, Ding Tai Sheng, and others had received the message.
They knew the true purpose of Wu Jiu and Bai Wu’s trip to the purple zone; to prevent the Investigation Corps from solving the disappearance case first, Ding Tai Sheng was prepared to intercede when Bai Wu appeared.
But at that moment, the Investigation Corps had too many people, and Wu Jiu was also there.
So, Ding Tai Sheng hurriedly got in touch with Ming Che.
By the time Bai Wu was sent to the hospital, Ming Che was on her way to the bottom, while Ding Tai Sheng and others were entangled with Yin Shuang and her group.
"From now on, this man is under the responsibility of the Garrison Corps. If you don’t want to delay his treatment, I suggest you hand him over to us. Otherwise, I can assure you, no hospital at the bottom will take you in."
