Chapter 223: Backup
Hearing the sound, the 3 nurses and doctor rushed out from the last cubicle. They tied the man and locked him inside the cubicle. The doctor even picked up a stick to knock the man unconscious. âDonât look at me like that. I specialize in cardio-cerebrovascular study. I promise you heâll wake up in another half an hour.â
Mo Li and the rest were relieved. Those stints in movies where people would faint after being hit on the back of the head were not true. If one didnât gauge their force, the hit might claim the targetâs life!
âWe should return to our room. There is one more person looking for us. Itâs safer for us to be back in our room where he has already searched.â Mo Li took a look outside, there was no one around so she quickly led her team back to the dorm. When they arrived, they saw that both the male and female dorms had been ransacked. The place looked harrowing.
Mo Li discovered that the man had picked up antibiotics and hallucinogenic drugs. That suggested that one of the 2 men was a drug addict. The man whom they assaulted in the toilet didnât look like a drug user so the user should be the other one. This was good news because a drug addict would be easier to deal with. The youngest nurse was heartbroken taking in the mess. They carried these medical supply all the way from Pearl River and they were all ruined.
âWe need to find a way to meet up with the soldiers. But we need to be careful of the other criminals.â Mo Li didnât forget about the other criminals who had been sent to distract the soldiers.
âDoctor Mo!â Just as Mo Li was calculating the escape route, a voice called out. It was the young soldier called Zhen Kai. âWhat are you all doing here? Itâs chaos everywhere. The leader told me to bring you away from here and then weâll come back after my comrades have dealt with the threat.â
Mo Li looked at Zhen Kai and believed his leader didnât tell him the whole story. If they left with Zhen Kai, the criminals would quickly abandon their attack of the border station and chase after Mo Liâs team instead.
âTheir goal is not the station.â Qin Xuan was agitated. He couldnât believe that the soldier was actually telling them to leave the station, that was no different from telling them to go die!
âWhat do you mean?â Zhen Kai frowned. It was obvious that he did not have a good impression of Qin Xuan.
âDuring the gunfight, you should have noticed that the criminals didnât really intend to kill. Earlier 2 of them just broke into our dorm. They snatched away a batch of antibiotics, some daily medication, needles, saline and other things.â The young nurses hurriedly explained before the two men got into a fight.
Zhen Kai frowned. Earlier, he did notice that his leader didnât really fight back with all his strength. Plus his gaze kept wandering over to the ship.
Looking out the window, Mo Li was sure that there had to be someone important to the terrorists on the ship or else they wouldnât have taken such a big risk to ambush the station in broad daylight.
âGet down!â Zhen Kai pounced on Mo Li and knocked her to the ground. There was a menacing man who had appeared from the corner of the dorm. Before the man could fire his gun, there was a muffled pop. To everyoneâs surprise, the man suddenly tipped over and fell to the ground.
Mo Li poked his head out from Zhen Kaiâs embrace and saw Ah Siâs familiar face. âMiss Mo Li, are you alright?â Ah Si quickly walked over and pulled Mo Li out from Zhen Kaiâs arms. If their young master was here, the young soldier would be dead.
Ah Si was honestly quite handsome. The other nurses couldnât help but wonder if he was Mo Liâs sweetheart based on the way he acted around her.
âAh Si? Why are you here?â Mo Li was shocked. She didnât expect to meet Ah Si, much less for him to save her life.
âYoung masterâ¦â Ah Si wanted to ask Mo Li if Quan Yu was around. But he looked at the surroundings and swallowed the question. Clearly Quan Yu was not around or else heâd be found near Mo Li. Ah Si was thankful that he had arrived just in time. If Mo Li was injured, his young master would probably level the entire Yun Quan.
âBy the way who are these people? They are weaker than I expected.â Ah Si squatted on the ground and patted the face of the person who had been knocked unconscious by him earlier. Ah Si had not seen this man before.
At that moment, everyone realized that the gunshots had stopped. They stood up in relief. They looked out into the yard and the 4 other criminals were surrounded by men dressed similarly as Ah Si.
At the same time, Leader Gao ordered his men to infiltrate the ship to capture the rest of the criminals.
