Chapter 96 Can You Bear It?

A week later, Yu Li's estrus period passed smoothly.

The early morning sunlight poured into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains. Qi Sheng was bending down to fasten the strap on Yu Li's tail fin. His fingertips gently stroked the newly grown scales, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Yu Li's temperature, which was 36.5 degrees.

It’s finally not hot anymore.

Tomorrow is the date of the surgery. Yu Li had a high fever last night and Qi Sheng took care of him all night.

Yu Li leaned in his arms, her tail fin shaking unconsciously: "Qi Sheng, after I finish the operation, I want to tell you a little secret."

Qi Sheng couldn't help laughing and reached out to pinch his cheek: "What secrets does my wife have to wait until tomorrow to tell you?"

"Because this secret is half about you and half about me."

It's a combination of our two genes. Is it a surprise to him?

As he was speaking, Qi Sheng's cell phone suddenly rang rapidly, and the name "Zhai Wenxi" appeared on the screen.

"I'll go answer a phone call first." Qi Sheng asked Yu Li for permission.

"Go ahead, I'll tie it myself."

Qi Sheng picked up the phone and walked into the living room.

Zhai Wenxi's anxious voice came over immediately: "Qi Sheng! It's bad... The batch of supplies shipped to the Saar Federation has been discovered!

Now we can only urgently transfer them to my uncle's agricultural area, but some of them can't be transferred and can only be destroyed on the spot!"

Qi Sheng's expression changed instantly, and he lowered his voice with a serious tone, "How could we be discovered? Isn't that an unmanned area?"

"I'm still investigating. The news must have leaked somewhere."

Zhai Wenxi's voice was filled with gnashing anger. "It must be that the Free Alliance has an undercover agent on our side. Now that they've been discovered, it'll be difficult for us to transport supplies in the future."

"Why not take this opportunity to have a head-on confrontation with them..."

Qi Sheng fell silent, his fingertips unconsciously clenched.

He knew that Zhai Wenxi was telling the truth.

But tomorrow is Yu Li's surgery day, how can he leave at this time?

"I know you are worried about Yu Li."

Zhai Wenxi's voice softened. "But this is the best opportunity. My uncle is relatively safe, and we can formulate a battle plan immediately."

Qi Sheng turned around and looked at Yu Li in the bedroom. He was slowly wrapping his tail fin with a nano-restraint.

He took a deep breath and said into the phone, "I understand. I'll be there as soon as possible. You go to Zhai Xun's place first to arrange for supplies."

Hang up the phone.

Qi Sheng walked to the bedside, squatted down, and held Yu Li's hand: "Yu Li, I'm sorry, I..."

Yu Li saw tears in the corners of his eyes and looked nervous.

He understood in a moment.

"Are you going to the Sar Federation?"

"Something went wrong over there. I'll still accompany you for the surgery tomorrow... I..."

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Li interrupted him, and gently brushed his hand with her fingertips. "Don't worry, I can do the surgery myself. You can ask Jing Yue to accompany me."

"But……"

Qi Sheng wanted to say something, but was blocked by Yu Li.

The little mermaid placed a soft kiss on his lips, her eyes full of determination: "Didn't you say you would take me home? I think you can do it."

He winked sincerely, "Go ahead, huh?"

Qi Sheng's heart seemed to be filled with something, sour and soft.

He hugged Yu Li tightly and whispered in his ear: "When I come back, I will make it up to you."

"Also... after the operation, call me immediately. No matter how late it is, I will wait for you."

"Don't worry, it's just a minor operation."

then.

That afternoon, Qi Sheng set out on his journey to the Sar Federation.

Before leaving, he contacted Jing Yue specifically and asked him to help take care of Yu Li.

After Qi Sheng left, Yu Li felt a little empty, but also a little more expectant.

After the operation is over and Qi Sheng comes back, maybe they will be as happy as before.

The next morning, Jing Yue arrived at the hospital on time and accompanied Yu Li for the preoperative examination. All the data showed that they were normal.

At this time, it was late at night in the Sar Federation.

Zhai Wenxi was awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone. On the other end of the line was the hacker he hired, reporting excitedly, "Mr. Zhai! I've cracked the encryption system of the 'Eternal Life Project' and obtained the full list of personnel in the database. I've sent it to you."

Zhai Wenxi woke up instantly. He sat up, turned on the computer, and looked at the list scrolling on the screen. His face became darker and darker.

The name "Bai Chuan" appeared in the list.

The name that followed made him tremble all over.

Yu Li's name was specially marked, followed by some symbols.

There are several recognizable words interspersed within the symbols, such as: blood healing, glands secreting special substances...

“…”

Zhai Wenxi slammed his fist on the table. He finally understood why Zhai Mo had been staring at Yu Li. It turned out to be because of this plan.

But!

When did Bai Chuan get involved?

Did he discover Yu Li’s special abilities and want to use him as a test subject for his “Eternal Life Plan”?

He glanced at the time. It was now the Saar Federation time: 3:00 a.m.

According to the time difference, the time in Antia should be around 8 o'clock in the morning, which is the time when the hospital opens.

Zhai Wenxi's heart instantly rose to his throat. With trembling hands, he dialed Jing Yue's number.

"Jingyue! Yu Li can't be allowed to undergo surgery! Find a way to stop it immediately!"

Jing Yue on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment.

Then, he said in a surprised tone: "What are you talking about? The data just checked is all normal, Yu Li has been pushed into the operating room."

“It’s too late!”

Zhai Wenxi's voice was filled with anxiety. "The operation is fake. Yu Li is already participating in the 'Eternal Life Plan'... I'm going to find you some mercenaries now. Break into the operating room and rescue him as soon as possible."

"no!"

Jing Yue's voice also became deeper. Although he did not quite understand what Zhai Wenxi said, he knew that everything seemed a bit complicated.

"If we use force to break in now and forcibly interrupt the operation, Yu Li's life will be in danger. Calm down and tell me, what exactly is this 'immortality plan'? Who is involved? And how does it relate to Yu Li?"

Zhai Wenxi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He remembered the first name on the list, Zhai Mo.

"Yueyue, I don't have time to explain to you right now. I need to confirm something immediately. You just stay at the door of the operating room."

"Yeah, okay."

Zhai Wenxi hung up the phone and immediately dialed Zhai Mo's number.

But the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

At this time, he was more convinced of the accuracy of the "Eternal Life Plan".

“Boom!”

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window!

Zhai Wenxi rushed to the window and opened the curtains.

I saw a blazing fire outside a square village built in the farmland not far away, and thick smoke billowed, lighting up half of the night sky.

Gunshots and screams could be faintly heard, and it was obvious that someone had attacked this place.

Zhai Wenxi quickly put on his coat, picked up his car keys and rushed out the door.

As soon as I went out, I bumped into a tall figure.

He staggered back two steps, looked up, and saw that it was Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng was wearing a thick black combat bulletproof suit, and the emblem of the Saar Federation on his shoulder armor shone brightly in the firelight.

When he saw Zhai Wenxi, a sharp smile appeared on his lips: "You came just in time, I was looking for you."

Zhai Wenxi suddenly noticed that Qi Sheng's expression was not right, "..."

"Change of plans."

Qi Sheng turned sideways so that he could see the scene behind him.

In the open space in the distance, soldiers in combat uniforms were lined up in neat rows.

There were bursts of roars coming from the sky, and ten fighter jets circled past, leaving clear trails in the night sky.

He reached out and patted Zhai Wenxi's shoulder, as if giving a silent instruction.

Then, he strode to the front of the team and took the loudspeaker handed to him by the soldiers.

The cold night wind lifted the corners of his clothes, but it could not blow away the determination in his eyes.

Qi Sheng raised his loudspeaker, and his voice spread throughout the camp through electricity, carrying a power that penetrated people's hearts:

"Fellow soldiers!

It has been three years since we left the Saar Federation!"

"For the past three years, we have been hiding in Antia like stray dogs, watching outsiders invade our homes and trample on our dignity!"

"Now, they want to take away our last hope and drive us out of our homeland!"

Qi Sheng's voice suddenly rose, and every word was like a hammer hitting the soldiers' hearts, "Can you bear it?!"

"cannot!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices deafening and piercing the night sky.

"I know you miss the hometown you grew up in! You long to return to the Saar Federation every moment."

Qi Sheng's eyes swept over every familiar face, "Today, we must take back everything that belongs to us!"

"We must let those people know that the soldiers of the Saar Federation never admit defeat!

We must make them understand that no one can seize our homes! No one can harm our compatriots! "

The shouts of the soldiers rose one after another, shaking the ground as if it were trembling.

They raised their weapons and waved them towards the night sky, the fighting spirit in their eyes almost breaking through the sky.

Qi Sheng put down the loudspeaker and looked at the scene in front of him.

He turned to look at the deputy general beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "According to the plan, the first team will follow me on the fighter plane to the central area to control the air defense line.

The second team encircled them by land and cut off their supply lines.

The third team stayed behind in the camp to protect the wounded and supplies."

"Yes!" the deputy general responded loudly and immediately turned around to convey the order.

Zhai Wenxi looked at everything in front of him, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were silenced for a moment.

"I've already arranged it."

Qi Sheng's tone was filled with a subtle worry, yet he remained firm. He patted Zhai Wenxi's shoulder and said, "I'll leave this place to you. Wait until we come back."

After saying that, Qi Sheng did not stop and strode towards the fighter plane waiting on the side.

The fighter plane's engine roared once more as it slowly lifted off, heading towards the center of the Saar Federation...
