Chapter 687 Resignedly Closing His Eyes
Meanwhile, outside the laboratory.
It was completely dark by then.
The evening wind was biting, carrying the smell of metal and dust.
Yun Yi's temples throbbed with veins, his eyes fixed on the screens in front of the researchers, which were flashing with complex code.
Every second felt like being fried in a pan of oil.
Jiang Yu's expression was also tense, his lips pressed into a straight line.
"It's done!"
A researcher wearing thick glasses suddenly looked up, his voice filled with suppressed excitement, "The main system password has been cracked! All non-independent encrypted access control has now been unlocked, and you can enter freely!"
Yun Yi's eyes lit up, and he almost rushed out.
"but,"
Another, slightly older researcher spoke up next, his voice heavy, “We have no control over the individual gasoline and combustion system command key. It’s a completely separate physical command box, not connected to the internet, and cannot be cracked remotely. Whoever holds the key can activate it at any time.”
The air solidified again.
Jiang Yu and Yun Yi exchanged a glance: Even so, they still couldn't completely guarantee Yun Ning's safety.
"We can't delay any longer, there's no time left!"
Jiang Yu spoke very quickly, “Now that the entrance is open, let’s go in first and try to control the situation in the basement. Maybe we can stop Fan Qianqian from activating the key.”
Yun Yi nodded without hesitation: "I'll take some men and try to deal with the outer guards. You can provide support outside, which will make Yun Ning's return journey smoother."
"it is good."
Jiang Yu's voice was tense but clear: "I will have the researchers modify some of the access control exits as soon as possible, and try to turn the inside into a one-way cage to prevent Fan Qianqian and the others from escaping through other exits."
"Ah."
Yun Yi nodded emphatically and said no more.
With a wave of his hand, he led his men silently into the newly opened entrance.
Jiang Yu immediately turned to the research team, his finger rapidly tapping on the floor plan: "Lock all the exits here, here, and here!"
He wanted to completely block Fan Qianqian and the others' escape routes!
……
Underground, in the main laboratory.
Time seemed to be stuck in place by glue, flowing slowly and heavily.
Gu Sili knelt on one knee in front of Yun Ning, the syringe in his hand reflecting a cold and eerie light under the pale lamplight.
The glass tube had thin walls, and the clear, transparent liquid inside swayed slightly, like congealed poison or tears of despair.
A cold glint from the needle's tip was aimed at Yun Ning's exposed, pale, and slender arm.
Fan Qianqian stood close to Gu Sili, almost pressed against his back.
Her face wore a smile that was a mixture of expectation, cruelty, and morbid satisfaction.
He stared intently, not blinking, afraid of missing even the slightest hint of pain on Yun Ning's face.
Yun Ning glanced at Gu Sili one last time.
That look was very deep.
It was as if it were trying to pierce through his skin and look into the depths of his struggling soul, or as if it were a final farewell.
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes.
She gave up and accepted her fate.
Well, at least he died at the hands of Gu Sili.
However, just as Yun Ning closed her eyes...
Gu Sili made a move!
The movement was so fast that it exceeded the limits of human reaction.
Like a spring that has been suppressed to its limit, it suddenly rebounds.
The man's arm, which was holding the syringe, suddenly turned at an odd angle, and plunged the gleaming needle into Fan Qianqian's side of the neck!
With a soft "plop" sound!
It's the faint sound of a needle piercing the skin.
In the deathly silent room, it was so clear it sent chills down my spine.
Fan Qianqian's smug smile froze into utter astonishment and bewilderment.
She only felt a chill on the side of her neck.
Immediately following was the throbbing pain of the liquid forcibly rushing into the blood vessels.
With his other hand, Gu Sili swiftly grabbed her wrist as she tried to resist.
Press your thumb firmly on the push rod and push most of the transparent liquid in the tube in just two seconds!
"Ugh!"
Only then did Fan Qianqian react, letting out a short, distorted scream.
"Qianqian!"
Jiang Mo roared.
He was too far away to stop it in time.
When she lunged at him, Fan Qianqian had already collapsed to the ground.
"catch him!"
Jiang Mo looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at his stunned subordinates.
The group of thugs in black seemed to wake from a dream and surged towards Gu Sili like a tide.
The punches and kicks rained down like a storm.
Gu Sili was prepared and took a step back the moment he finished administering the medicine.
He nimbly dodged the first two stun batons that came crashing down on him.
Immediately, with ruthless precision, he delivered an elbow strike that knocked down a person on his left.
He then leaped to the side and kicked another person in the chest.
The room was instantly filled with a series of teeth-grinding sounds of bones cracking.
However, two fists cannot fight against four hands.
Even more fatally, it may be that the virus itself played a role.
Waves of dizziness and palpitations, like a tidal wave, constantly assaulted his will and physical coordination.
Gu Sili's movements began to slow down, and his breathing became heavy.
"boom!"
A heavy punch slammed into his abdomen.
The man groaned, his stomach churning, and a metallic taste rising in his throat.
Immediately afterwards, he was struck hard on the back of the head, his vision blurred instantly, and his ears rang.
He staggered, but still stood firmly in front of Yun Ning, refusing to back down.
However, Jiang Mo's chilling voice, like the hiss of a venomous snake, pierced through the noise of the fight: "Stop! Otherwise, I'll slit her throat right now!"
Gu Sili froze abruptly and slowly turned his head.
Jiang Mo had taken Yun Ning hostage without anyone noticing.
A gleaming dagger was pressed tightly against her slender, delicate neck, leaving a faint red mark.
"Don't touch her!"
Gu Sili's eyes were bloodshot and menacing. He then loosened his clenched fists and raised his hands.
Several thugs immediately rushed up, roughly twisted his arms behind his back, and pinned him to the ground.
On the other side of the wall, Fan Qianqian slumped against the wall, her face filled with shock, anger and disbelief.
But his muscles felt as if they were bound by invisible ropes, and he couldn't even lift a single finger.
The numbing agent had taken full effect.
Seeing that Gu Sili had been subdued, Jiang Mo immediately pushed Yun Ning aside roughly.
He rushed to the medicine box and frantically rummaged through it.
Soon, the corresponding antidote was found.
Jiang Mo rushed back to Fan Qianqian's side and, trembling, inserted the needle into her vein.
Halfway through the antidote was administered, and Fan Qianqian was finally able to move her fingers.
She shoved Jiang Mo, who was still cautiously placing his bet, aside, and staggered, almost crawling, to Gu Sili's side.
"Snapped!"
Fan Qianqian used all the strength she had recovered to slap Gu Sili hard across the face.
The sound was exceptionally clear in the silent laboratory.
Gu Sili turned his head away, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Why?!"
Fan Qianqian's voice shrill and distorted, filled with the madness and incomprehension of betrayal, "I clearly injected you with the virus! You should love me even more! Why would you do this? Why!"
