"I'm sorry, Uncle Shenlan. I was too willful this time. I was wrong. Please don't be like this. It will break my heart. And please don't blame Sister Xiaowen either. She couldn't persuade me otherwise. Please smile."
Mai Xiaowen: ...Damn it, I was almost forgetting about me, but then they brought me up again. (oωo)
Seeing the little guy trying so hard to cheer him up, Shen Lan's anger subsided considerably. He picked Zhang Hao up and placed him on his lap, then said earnestly to him:
"Everyone was very worried about you. As soon as the bee doctor got back, he was anxious to call for help to save you. It was Xiaowen who sent a message saying that you were alright. Otherwise, everyone would have come to save you in full gear. Our main responsibility as GTI members is to maintain balance, so I refused and chose to come by myself. Next time something like this happens, you must discuss it with us, understand?"
After hearing Shenlan's words, Zhang Hao understood his current status in the hearts of the GTI members. He apologized to Shenlan with some guilt, but Shenlan stopped him before he could finish speaking.
"Don't apologize to me right away. Apologize to everyone when you get back to base. Everyone was very worried about you."
After speaking, Shenlan glanced at Mai Xiaowen.
"You're the same. It's one thing for Zhang Hao to be young, but you're already an adult, so you can't be so careless."
Mai Xiaowen: (?o 3 o?)
After a while, the three returned to the GTI Special Operations Unit. Apart from Wei Long lying on the bed, everyone was waiting at the door. When they saw Zhang Hao and Mai Xiaowen return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Luna ran up and hugged Zhang Hao, and her two mischievous eyes covered Zhang Hao's little head.
"You little rascal, do you know how dangerous that is? We've been waiting here so anxiously! You can't do that again, understand?"
Seeing that Luna's voice was trembling with tears, Zhang Hao also mumbled an apology in his arms.
With Mai Xiaowen's help, Zhang Hao was rescued from the two evil forces. He then solemnly apologized in front of everyone, saying that he would behave well in the future and not worry everyone.
Then Roy asked:
"How is Brother Weilong doing now? Is he stable?"
"He's fine, he won't die. He just woke up, took the medicine you brought, and is lying in bed now. Do you want to go see him?"
Upon hearing that Wei Long had woken up, Zhang Hao, as his first disciple, also prepared to visit the wounded soldier.
Upon entering, one sees Wei lying on the bed, holding a complete book on tanks and reading it.
Seeing Zhang Hao enter, Wei Long put down the book he was holding and said to Zhang Hao with a smile:
"Thanks to you this time, Xiao Hao. Thank you so much for going out to find medicine for me. You've worked so hard."
"Oh, Brother Weilong, you're being too polite. You're my older brother, how could I just stand by and watch you like this? It's just good luck that I ran into you, it's nothing, hehehe."
Looking at Weilong lying on the bed, Zhang Hao suddenly felt his hidden bloodline power kick in.
"Come on, Brother Weilong, where I'm from, whenever someone gets injured or sick, we make sure they drink plenty of water, especially hot water, to help them recover faster. Here, let me pour you a cup of hot water."
Looking at the sensible boy in front of him, Weilong couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness. He took the water from Zhang Hao and gulped it down.
"Young hero, you have a good capacity for alcohol. Come, come, have some more. I'll add more for you."
Glug glug...
"Come on, come on..."
Glug glug...
"Xiao Hao! Wei Long already injured his abdomen, why are you still pouring water on him like this? Hey, get out of here."
When Roy came in to check on Wei Long, he was utterly shocked. He then kicked Zhang Hao out and checked on Wei Long's condition.
Dragon: Glug glug...
Chapter 19 Traitor, Death
As the day passed, Hafk's search in the Asara region yielded no results whatsoever.
Zhang Hao: Time to go back to the Special Operations Unit and sleep.
"Reporting, sir, no trace found at Dam Zero. Reporting, no trace found in Longbow Valley either. Reporting, Bakshi..."
"Enough! You bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even find one person. There's only one day left. If you can't find the person, you don't need to come back. You bunch of useless trash."
Inside the Tower of Babel, Captain Hafk roared into the walkie-talkie, watching time tick by, feeling his own life begin its countdown.
He knew Rometheus's methods very well. Having been by his side for three years, rising from a guard to a captain, he knew how ruthless this seemingly humble and gentle man could be. Moreover, some time ago, he accepted a high-salary offer from Mr. Robert, one of the group's shareholders, to become a mole planted next to Dr. Rometheus.
But if they really can't find that kid's trail now, they might not even live to spend all the money they've earned.
As time passed, his heartbeat quickened, and his breathing became heavier. Every now and then, he would check the walkie-talkie beside him. The small box, which was usually inconspicuous, had now become the only thing that could save him.
In his anxious state, Captain Hafk knelt on the ground, devoutly praying to God for blessings:
"God! I am praying to you. Are you there? If you are, please bless me so that I can get through this safely. There are less than 4 hours left. Bless me, dear Lord, bless your devout servant."
"Hey, sir, we've found traces of Zero at Dam Zero. We've captured two Asara villagers and interrogated them. They say Zero is in contact with Said."
Whether it was his sincere prayers that worked or not, shortly after he finished praying to God, a voice came through the walkie-talkie that would change his life.
"What? Soldier, say that again?"
The captain picked up the walkie-talkie in disbelief and, trembling, went to confirm it again.
"Captain, we found his trail at Dam Zero. The people here said that the soldiers who saw Asara took him to Said."
After a second confirmation, Captain Hafk began to laugh maniacally:
"Hahahaha, God bless me, hahahaha, I really am a lucky person! Men! Gather the heavy troops, I will lead them to Dam Zero, hahahaha."
Seeing that time was running out, he hurriedly began to gather his troops, this time directly mobilizing all of Hafk Group's heavy forces in Babel, determined to take it down in one fell swoop.
"Sir, Dr. Rometheus wants you to come to him."
Just as he was about to set off, the soldier he had sent to gather the troops ran back and said something to him.
"Hmm? It's not time yet, is it? Does he also need to get the news and confirm with you?"
After pondering for a moment, the captain concluded that he was most likely being asked to exchange intelligence with Rometheus. He then tidied his appearance and went to Rometheus's office.
"Doctor, the commander of the Hafk Babel Tower Guard is reporting to you."
"Come in."
With a creak, the captain of the guard arrived at Rometheus's office. Although it wasn't his first time here, he still couldn't help but shiver.
The reason was simple: Rometheus's office was right next to his laboratory, and whenever he was not conducting human experiments, he would hear ghostly screams coming from inside the laboratory.
After glancing at the expressionless Rometheus, the captain swallowed hard and said:
"Reporting, Doctor, news just came from the dam that we've located [Zero]. I was just about to lead men to capture him—no, bring him back. Is there something you need from me?"
Rometheus raised his head, his cold eyes sweeping over the captain.
"Does anyone else know this news?"
This question left the captain puzzled, but since he had been asked it, he answered honestly:
"No one else knows this news except you and me at the moment."
Upon hearing this, Rometheus nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, not bad. It seems you haven't had a chance to report to your master yet."
Upon hearing this, the captain was so frightened that his legs almost gave way and he collapsed to the ground. His heart rate spiked instantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
"Doctor... Doctor, I don't understand what you're talking about. I've always been loyal to you, ever since I was a lowly guard. How could I possibly be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Rometheus waved his hand at him.
“Carwin Roberts, am I right?”
Upon hearing this name, the captain completely lost his balance and collapsed in front of Rometheus.
“He contacted you secretly three months ago, offering to use money and his position in Hafk to help you become the commander-in-chief of the Tower of Babel, but the price was to become his spy and pass on my information from time to time. Am I right?”
Looking at the captain who was terrified, Rometheus chuckled softly.
"No, no, it was Robert who seduced me first, Doctor. I've always been with you, Doctor. You have to believe me, I've never done anything to betray you!"
Seeing that the captain of the guard was still struggling, Rometheus shook his head, sighed, and said:
"Don't you feel sorry? The moment Zero escaped, you were already informing Robert instead of leading men to stop him. Besides, you said you've been following me for so long, so you naturally know what I hate most, right?"
Upon hearing Rometheus's words, the captain of the guard abruptly stopped crying. He understood that Rometheus had summoned him this time with no intention of letting him go back. His demand to find "Zero" in two days was probably just a pretext to get rid of him.
"The thing I hate most is betrayal, and so do you and Zoya. You all deserve to die!"
Rometheus's face gradually contorted into a grimace, and he began to growl at the captain in a low voice:
"Traitors must die."
Upon hearing Rometheus's verdict, fear, panic, and resentment filled the captain's mind.
"Damn it, since I'm going to die anyway, I'll fight you to the death, Rometheus. You think you're so high and mighty, that we're all idiots. But you've never experienced or even considered how difficult it is for us who came from the bottom. You want to negate all my efforts with a single sentence? I'll take you down with me even if I die."
As he spoke, he pulled out his pistol and was about to aim it at Rometheus when a sharp pain shot through his neck.
"It's not that I'm arrogant, but you guys are really too stupid. Get some sleep, maybe you'll never wake up again."
The captain quickly reached for his neck and found a tiny needle stuck in it. In an instant, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he could only collapse to the ground in despair.
"Hey, Ella, have someone come to my office to take care of the trash. This can be used as your experimental material. Yeah, that's all."
After hanging up the phone, Rometheus sat back down in his seat and began to mutter to himself:
"Dam Zero? Hehehe, you won't have to wait long, 'Dad,' I'll be right back to find you."
Why do we need to study Chapter 20 again?
After a pleasant weekend, Zhang Hao began to prepare for Monday with a long face.
"No, Miss Sunday, please don't go. I can't bear to part with you, Miss Sunday. How can I live without you?"
As Zhang Hao was being taken to the gym by Tyrell, his cries echoed throughout the GTI.
When it was time for lunch, everyone saw Zhang Hao slumped over the table. In the past, Mai Xiaowen and Luna would have gone over to comfort him, but now they were used to it. Not only after Terry's strength class, but after Wei Long's physical training, Zhang Hao would also successfully become "a limp ...
After all the dishes were served, Zhang Hao would wake up again, devour his meal, and then rush back to his room to shower and sleep. The thought of having to go to class in the afternoon would only make him silently shed tears in his dreams.
Looking back on my miserable 19 years in another world, the road to education was incredibly difficult. I was one of the little monkeys in the class of 04. If the original owner of this body came to this world, I would probably be the same age as Reis and the others.
"Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. I need to take a nap to recharge. Speaking of which, Brother Weilong is resting in bed... does that mean I don't have to run tomorrow morning?!"
Zhang Hao lay in bed, getting happier and happier as he thought about it, and became so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore.
"Hey 9527, do you have anything good?"
