Ling Shi was about to knock Lu Tingxiao unconscious, but was suddenly grabbed by Yi Yan's clothes.
"Let me try." Yi Yan whispered, "Maybe I can..."
His voice was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito, and he didn't sound confident.
Ling Shi turned his head and asked, "What can you do?"
His tone was quite fierce, which frightened Yi Yan so much that he loosened the corner of his clothes and took a small step back.
"He can replenish people's physical strength." Peng Gaoxuan stepped forward and held Yi Yan's back with his hand: "Captain Ling, let him try."
"Replenish your energy?" Ling Shi seemed to have seen a glimmer of light in the darkness and desperate situation, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"
Peng Gaoxuan's eyes dodged a glance. "Yeah. I... tried it. It's definitely confirmed."
He looked evasive, a bit guilty. Under normal circumstances, he would have been thoroughly investigated by his teammates.
But no one has this intention now.
"Come here." Lu Tingxiao opened his eyes, his voice a little weak, but calm and indifferent. He said to Yi Yan, "You try."
Yi Yan gently placed one hand on Lu Tingxiao's arm and closed his eyes.
His face, already slightly flushed, became visibly redder. It was as if he had just run 3,000 meters, gathering all his strength and exerting every ounce of his energy.
Just after one minute, Yi Yan took a deep breath and his arms fell limply.
On the other hand, Lu Tingxiao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with an incomparably bright light! He didn't look like he had just been exhausted.
"You..." Ling Shi's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "...How do you feel?"
Lu Tingxiao gave him a devilish smile: "We can fight for another three hundred rounds."
After he finished speaking, the gray vortex in his palm rose again and began to spin rapidly without any stagnation.
Ling Shi's chest suddenly felt relieved.
As expected, their bet was right. What Yi Yan replenished wasn't just physical strength, but vitality.
Yi Yan, who was standing aside, had already been supported by Peng Gaoxuan and was leaning softly against him.
Even though his face was flushed and he looked extremely exhausted, he still did his job and reported the number of corrupt people attacking from outside the base.
"The number suddenly increased, there are... 700, 800 or more..."
“More than a thousand…”
"The corrupt have arrived at the base gate and are fighting with the Ohio soldiers."
"Five more minutes," Lu Tingxiao said, still keeping his eyes closed, but he did not forget to give orders: "Remember, the team cannot be separated."
"Be like an arrow, dash through that thousand men. Go through them, pierce them!"
Everyone: “Yes!”
Ling Shi had just breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately raised it again.
Five minutes left.
Is Yi Yan's remaining vitality enough for him to last five minutes?
Ling Shi appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was a mess.
This was the first time he lost his composure during a mission.
One minute...thirty seconds....ten seconds.....
"Time's up." Ling Shi counted down the seconds and shouted, "Lu Tingxiao, stop!"
He grabbed the man and was about to knock him out when he saw the man close his eyes and fall into his arms.
"Fuck!" Ling Shi cursed fiercely, but caught it steadily in his hand.
Lu Tingxiao fell into a coma, and he, the deputy captain, became the supreme commander of the entire field.
He carried Lu Tingxiao firmly on his back, tied him tightly with a rope, and then ordered: "Let's go. Let's go home."
Following Lu Tingxiao's instructions at the time, Xiang Chongyi was the first to rush out of the tunnel.
He turned quickly. "Safe. Come out."
Peng Gaoxuan stood in front of everyone and rushed out of the tunnel.
Everyone filed out in formation.
As far as the eye could see, the three iron gates of the base had already been opened, and far more than a thousand corrupt people were besieging it.
There were about a hundred Corrupts at the innermost gate, but more than three hundred Russian soldiers were defending them, keeping them firmly outside the gate.
But the two doors outside are not so good.
A steady stream of corrupt people attacked from the outside, and the Russian soldiers had no time to resist and were squeezed through the crowd one by one.
Human casualties were heavy.
So, no one cares about them now.
Ling Shi glanced at the gate: "Right, break through."
To the right of the gate is where the crowd density is the lowest.
The White Eagle Team was like an arrow, piercing into the middle of the two fighting groups.
Both the corrupt people and the Ohio soldiers were frightened by this sudden appearance of the team.
"They ran away!" After a while, someone finally shouted: "Those Chinese ran away!"
"Shut up!" Zuo Hao slowed down and shouted, "We won't hit you, so don't hit us!"
"What are you looking at! Focus on beating the corrupted guy! He's about to bite you!"
"Let's go!" Chu Yi pulled him and pulled him to catch up with the main group.
Boom, boom—
A strange roaring sound was heard.
"Shit, there's a tank!" Zuo Hao looked back and shouted at them, "Run! Run!"
"There must be long-range rocket launchers up there. Damn it! These Ohio guys are going to bomb us to death!"
"Don't worry." Ling Shi held the person behind him tightly: "That's used to deal with corrupt people."
"Killing us at a time like this will only make things worse."
Sure enough, not long after, boom—a huge explosion sounded.
Brilliant fireworks exploded from the crowd of corrupt officials on the periphery. They bloomed in the darkness, incredibly eye-catching and bright, proclaiming humanity's absolute sovereignty in this battle.
At this time, the White Eagle Team was already a hundred meters away from the outer gate.
In the dark night, with the help of the newly lit fire, they saw the plane still parked there neatly a mile away.
Zuo Hao couldn't help but whistle and said happily: "Hallelujah! We're home!"

When the plane parked outside the Chinese base, before it even came to a stop, Ling Shi carried Lu Tingxiao on his back and jumped out of the cabin door. Without even having time to talk to the officers and soldiers who came to greet him, he ran into the base and rushed all the way to the laboratory as quickly as possible.
He laid Lu Tingxiao flat on the examination bed and ran to the side to get a disposable injection.
His steps were relatively steady, but his hands couldn't help but tremble, just like his trembling heart.
On the plane, he had extracted some of Lu Tingxiao's visible cells, but he was still not conscious and would growl from time to time.
Ling Shi judged that Lu Tingxiao absorbed the visible cells in the air too quickly, and in a short while, the concentration would rise and reach a critical point.
The most urgent thing is to give him a blood transfusion.
Ling Shi took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. He steadily inserted the needle into his vein and began to draw blood.
With a bang, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Ning Fu came in panting: "I'm here to help."
Without waiting for Ling Shi to speak, he quickly checked Lu Tingxiao's physical condition and put a wristband on his wrist to check his cell data.
Ning Fu was startled by this knock.
"Captain Ling, come and take a look." Ning Fu's voice rose: "His hidden cells...how come there are only 0.5%?"
Um?
Ling Shi paused briefly while drawing blood.
Cryptoblasts? 0.5%?
How could Lu Tingxiao have hidden cells?
Before he could react, Ning Fu quickly removed the wristband, tested it on his own wrist, and quickly put it back on Lu Tingxiao's wrist: "Yes, the wristband is not broken, it's just 0.5%."
He hesitated for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Ling Shi: "Although I don't know why the data is like this, I know that once he wakes up, he will decay. Should we..."
"No." Ling Shi said firmly.
He pulled out the syringe, walked to Lu Tingxiao, and injected him with an injection.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the thick red blood flowing into Lu Tingxiao's body through the syringe.
"But..." Ning Fu frowned, held up the wristband and showed the number on it to Ling Shi.
"No buts," Ling Shi interrupted. He yanked Lu Tingxiao's wrist off, quickly removed the wristband, and shoved it back into Ning Fu's pocket. "Don't measure his data anymore. Okay, he should be fine now. You can go. I'll just watch."
Ning Fu wanted to say something, but Ling Shi pushed him on the back and pushed him out the door in a few seconds.
It can be said that he was blasted out.
When the laboratory became quiet again, Ling Shi's boiling thoughts calmed down a little and he returned to the previous question.
How could Lu Tingxiao have hidden cells?
He thought about it, assumed several possibilities, then drew some blood from each of them and put it in a cell analyzer for examination.
After this comparison, he discovered a clue.
His own hidden cells actually grew from 1/10 the size of visible cells to 1/2 the size, almost five times larger.
And Lu Tingxiao's hidden cells... are exactly the same as his.
What's going on?
There is absolutely no precedent for such a change.
Ling Shi could only rely on his scientific intuition to make a hypothesis. Perhaps the changes happened in a chain reaction.
First, his hidden index exceeded 50%, the second level, causing cell mutation.
Secondly, Lu Tingxiao "inherited" some mutated hidden cells from him through some unknown means, which led to the 0.5% data.
What way...
Not a blood transfusion.
Just before the blood transfusion, he had these 0.5% cryptic cells.
What is that...
Suddenly, Ling Shi thought of something and his face became hot.
No way.
It can’t be...that way.
Ling Shi stood up and stared blankly for a while, not knowing what he wanted to do, and then sat down again.
Come to think of it, that was the only way they had any contact and "exchange" with each other.
It was the kiss that made him dizzy.
They leaned against each other, exchanging breath, enthusiasm, saliva and indescribable affection.
It turns out that this method can actually "transmit" hidden cells.
Does that mean... I don't have to have my blood drawn so often anymore?
Just thinking of this, Ling Shi wanted to slap himself immediately.
What are you thinking about?
If you don't draw blood, are you going to...
Ling Shi took a deep breath, feeling that if he continued thinking about it, he would go crazy.
He stood up again and began pacing around the lab, trying to clear his mind of the chaotic thoughts.
What is the relationship between him and Lu Tingxiao now?
I can’t figure it out!
