Chapter 229 A Little Selfishness
"Okay, okay!" He nodded. "I'll go in and take a look!"
It was a good opportunity to see what Lieutenant Colonel Ackerman looked like when he slept! He had never seen it before, so it was a good opportunity to observe his idol up close!
He walked in quietly, but before he could get close to Ackerman, Ackerman suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him warily...
No, he even made his footsteps very quiet.
"Are you awake?" He smiled.
Ackerman nodded, his voice still a little hoarse, "Help me untie it."
"OK!"
After untying the handcuffs on Ackerman, he rubbed his brows and asked, "Where's Yu Manman? Did she leave?"
He recalled the worthless appearance of his spirit body after he fell asleep...
Ackerman felt his face flush.
He didn't expect that after Yu Manman's mental power entered, he suddenly fell asleep.
"Not yet! She won't leave until you've finished checking her." The soldier glanced at Ackerman.
Huh? Is Commander Ackerman's neck red? Maybe it's from the injury?
"Do you want to see her? Do you want me to call her over?"
"No, I'll go find her myself later." Ackerman shook his head.
"Okay...but I'll check it for you now." He turned on the detector to help Ackerman check his spiritual sea.
After checking that there were no problems, Ackerman put on a coat and walked out.
"Instructor?"
"Classmate Manman, I'm sorry to bother you this time." Ackerman suddenly recalled the childish behavior of his spiritual body, and met Yu Manman's clear gaze, with a hint of shame in his eyes.
"It's my duty! I'm glad you're alright, instructor!" Yu Manman smiled faintly. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. Instructor, have a good rest!"
"Wait, I have something to tell you, come with me."
A hint of doubt flashed across Yu Manman's eyes, and he nodded, "Oh..."
She hurried after him.
Yu Manman watched Ackerman walk, and apart from being a little slower than usual, there was really no sign of injury.
When they arrived at the private area, Ackerman entered his lounge, looked around, took out a sewing box from a cabinet, and handed it to Yu Manman.
He looked at the place where he usually rested, his eyes slightly cold.
"Instructor, why are you giving this to me?" Yu Manman looked at the ordinary sewing box in his hand with confusion.
"Last time, regarding the toxin incident, I found a clue and was away for a month."
“I got this from that place.”
There was a cold light in Ackerman's eyes.
A few years passed, and the other party was no longer satisfied with using this poison on sea beasts, but also used it on orcs.
Ackerman lurked there for a while before finally finding the drug.
"Why did the instructor give it to me?" Yu Manman was a little confused.
It’s obvious that Instructor Ackerman doesn’t want to get involved, worried that it will implicate his own people?
"Because...there aren't many people I can trust."
Yu Manman was surprised.
"The injuries on my body were not caused during the period of hiding, but were caused by being chased on the way back..."
He had originally obtained the secret medicine from the animal farm, but was intercepted and killed.
“Those people took the medicine.”
And I only managed to escape the sea alive after a narrow escape from death.
"I suspect that the other party is hiding here as well." Otherwise, how could the fact that he hid his identity and went to the 103 Undersea City be exposed?
Of the people who were supposed to pick him up, one died, three are missing, and who knows...
"Then what is this..." Yu Manman looked at the small bottle in his hand with confusion.
"The secret medicine was stolen, but I secretly left behind the blood of a fallen species."
He inserted a special needle into the body of the fallen species, then took a little blood and took it out quietly.
"I want you to do some testing to see if there's any poison in it."
Ackerman thought that he might be targeted, so he had to move his things away quickly.
His lounge had also been searched...
Fortunately, the base has a special system protection that prevents people from installing eavesdropping and surveillance devices in these places at will.
But even so, he still checked it again after entering.
"No problem!" Yu Manman took the needle given by Ackerman and hid it carefully.
"There's one more thing I can help you with," Ackerman continued.
"Instructor, what do you say?" Yu Manman looked at him seriously.
Ackerman pondered, "We kept the last incident strictly confidential. Almost no one knew that you were the first to discover the fallen creature."
The previous incident had been kept strictly confidential. Even Professor Edkin and his team had come secretly, without alerting anyone. In subsequent reports, they omitted the fact that Yu Manman had discovered the Fallen. Professor Edkin had been a secret partner of the base for years, and few people knew about it either.
For this mission, he was the best candidate to go to the 103 Underwater City, but unexpectedly an accident happened.
Because of his exposure, they did not want to alert the enemy in advance, so they could only quickly find an opportunity to search the 103 underwater city.
But the 103rd Undersea City must have made some preparations, so they might not be able to find anything...
But since he'd been able to stay in Area 103 for nearly a month without being discovered, the person hiding there probably wasn't completely aware of him. But knowing his whereabouts, they must have been able to gather a lot of information, and their status within the base was probably not too low...
"I received a secret mission not long ago. The superiors will send someone to investigate the secret medicine again, and I will be the one to conduct the investigation in secret."
"Now that I'm involved in this, they probably won't turn their attention away easily. They'll still keep an eye on me and everyone around me. I'm worried they'll start to suspect you."
If Yu Manman walked out now, they might just focus their attention on her.
"What should we do then?" Yu Manman felt a headache after hearing this.
"I came up with a temporary solution that may reduce their suspicion. So... I hope you will cooperate with me." Ackerman looked at her.
"What method?" Yu Manman asked quickly.
"I'm pursuing you..." Ackerman looked at Yu Manman seriously, "If you're willing, I'll let it slip that I'm pursuing you, maybe that will confuse you."
Of course, there is also a little selfish motive involved.
He can deceive himself when he is sober, but the subconscious reaction of his spirit is the most real. If he didn't have a good impression of Yu Manman, his spirit would not have behaved in such childish ways.
"Next, the base will give me some time to rest because of my injury. I will use this time to pursue you."
Yu Manman nodded, but was a little confused. "Will they believe it?"
Ackerman's eyes were filled with complexity. "Yes..."
