Chapter 196 Between You and the Base, I Choose the Base

Qiao Lan looked at Ye Qi.

Ye Qi lay quietly on the bed, breathing very weakly.

"Is he out of danger?" Qiao Lan asked the surgeon standing by the bed.

The doctor looked at Lao Song and did not answer.

Old Song was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Miss Qiao, I'm sorry, but the base leader's health condition cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

What the hell is this “outsider”!

Qiao Lan pushed the guard captain away and walked towards the mobile bed.

All the guards beside the bed immediately rushed over, some with guns raised, some using their special powers, to stop her.

The captain of the guards lunged forward with force, knocking Qiao Lan further away.

Bang, with a loud bang.

Bullets flew from the corridor.

Someone in the crowd actually opened fire.

Qiao Lan, relying on his subconscious fighting instinct, dodged and leaped, the bullet grazed his ear. If he had reacted a little slower, his head would have been pierced.

She fired a backhand shot, accurately identifying the source of the bullet in the crowd and breaking the shooter's arm.

"Don't shoot! What if Captain Ye is accidentally injured!" Old Song roared at the crowd.

"Miss Qiao, you'd better leave the base immediately. You are no longer welcome here." The captain of the guards led his men to press forward. "Don't make this situation too awkward."

Qiao Lan asked, "Is Ye Qi awake yet? Was it his idea to drive me away, or did you do it on your own?"

"That's Captain Ye's idea," said the captain.

Old Song stepped forward.

"Miss Qiao... we're privately friends, and you've helped us a lot in the past. To be honest, the captain was in love with you, and I gave him a lot of advice behind the scenes. But now we're facing a formidable enemy, and the overall situation is more important. Your men assassinated Captain Ye, seriously threatening the safety of the base. If it were anyone else, the base soldiers would have shot you on the spot. Now, simply letting you go is already a concession. Captain Ye is first and foremost the leader of the base, and only secondarily your friend, Miss Qiao. He has millions of people to protect, and what he owes you can only be repaid in the next life."

"Is this what he meant, or what you meant?" Qiao Lan looked at the mobile bed.

Ye Qi still lay quietly with his eyes slightly open.

"Ye Qi, can you hear me? Are you awake?" Qiao Lan shouted.

The captain of the guards' body surged with energy, and he shouted angrily: "Miss Qiao, Captain Ye needs to rest, do not disturb him..."

"Let her come over." Ye Qi suddenly spoke.

The voice was extremely weak and low, but it was indeed spoken.

"He told me to come over!" Qiao Lan pushed the captain of the guards aside and rushed to the bedside. "How are you, Ye Qi? Let me see if you have any internal injuries."

She placed her palm on the pulse of his wrist, energy flowing out slightly, trying to feel him.

Ye Qi said, "Let's go."

"?"

"Don't make it difficult for me." Ye Qi spoke each word with difficulty, but he spoke clearly, "What Old Song said is exactly what I meant. I owe you, but between you and the base, I choose the base."

"Just blink if you're being coerced..." Qiao Lan was going crazy.

What kind of logic is this? When did she become opposed to the base?! She has to choose between the two?!

"Let her go." Ye Qi looked at Lao Song and closed his eyes weakly.

Old Song pulled out his gun and his face turned very cold in an instant.

"Miss Qiao, the captain wasn't coerced. Your joke isn't funny at all. It's simple. Your brother assassinated Captain Ye and defected to the enemy camp. The base can no longer hold you. Headquarters just issued an order half an hour ago. Given the rapid expansion of the Earth Temple across the country and the critical situation, official bases in all cities must take action and immediately eliminate this organization. No mistakes are allowed. City C doesn't have an official base, but the Bloody Dawn is equivalent to an official base. We obey orders completely!"
