Chapter 279
Because there was not enough time left for Xingchuan and Ming to slowly digest the drug, he simply tore off the outer skin of the drug capsule and poured the powder directly under the tongue where there were the most capillaries. This way of directly absorbing the drug through sublingual administration is the fastest way to absorb it.
Xingchuan and Ming hated the bitter taste, but this time they had to swallow the whole pill. When they came out of the bathroom, Xingchuan and Ming had already swallowed the bitter powder that made them want to cry. He felt a little cold, and he didn't know whether it was an illusion caused by the bitter taste in his mouth or the effect of the medicine was gradually taking effect.
Just when Xingchuan and Ming felt that they were about to collapse, Bronx finally spoke up before him and said, "Send the person over here." This made Xingchuan and Ming feel relieved that they didn't have to worry about falling to the ground.
Lying on the laboratory table, watching his blood gradually leave his body through the catheter, feeling the increasing fatigue, Xingchuan Heming's thoughts gradually shifted from the tragic ending of the BOSS to how long he could hold on.
He watched Bronx using his blood to make the final version of the drug, and suddenly felt very lonely. So when Nishizono Tadahiko tried to communicate with him again, Hoshikawa Kazuaki did not refuse.
"Hashikawa, how are things going over there? I heard that you are working in the laboratory. Are you having trouble?" Nishizono Tadahiko's voice was filled with concern that could not be concealed.
Xingchuan and Ming opened their mouths, but found that they were very dry, so they had to close their mouths and try to make themselves look more alert: "I'm fine. The Red Team has already finished gathering, so tell them not to attack in advance. Wait for news from me."
"You...Okay, what's the news?"
"Of course, the news is that the boss got poisoned during the experiment and can no longer participate in the battle. The organization's mobile force is at its weakest." Because of the massive blood loss, and the fact that the person he was talking to was one of his most trusted aliases, Hoshikawa and Akira once again spoke out the information they wanted to hide without any defense.
As expected, Saion Tadahiko immediately noticed the doubts in Hoshikawa and Akira's conversation, and immediately asked:
"What experiment? How do you know that the boss will be poisoned and unable to participate in the battle?"
Saezono Tadahiko frowned, and his stern voice contained suppressed anger:
"Xingchuan and Ming, what are you hiding? Why is your voice so weak now... Tell me, how did you know that the boss would be poisoned?"
Hoshikawa Kazuaki's brain, which had lost too much blood, suddenly became clear, and he immediately realized that he had let the cat out of the bag again, and in front of senior detective Tadahiko Nishizono.
The secret really can't be kept secret. Xingchuan and Ming smiled bitterly. But there is no other way. The organization has been entrenched in the shadows for decades and has a deep foundation. It is not easy to take it down with a sneak attack. Only by temporarily controlling its key points at the source and then attacking it when it is unprepared can this huge creature be completely eliminated.
In order to obtain the force distribution data, so that the Red Team can avoid the sharp edge and directly target the vital points of the organization, I, as the last and only person who has the opportunity to obtain the data, must accept the experiment. In order to prevent the organization from gathering all its strength to resist the Red Team's attack, thus giving the Red Team a chance to truly destroy the organization, I, as the only person who can find an opportunity to assassinate the BOSS, must use myself as bait.
Everything was done to destroy the organization. It was not for the public interest, nor for the so-called justice. It was just that the situation was right in front of them, and only Xingchuan and Ming could do it. And the fruits of victory were what Xingchuan and Ming had been looking forward to, so Xingchuan and Ming did it, nothing more.
However, when he faced his other three aliases, he was overwhelmed with guilt and shame, leaving Xingchuan and Ming totally unsure of how to face them. Xingchuan and Ming wished that they would never know the truth.
After all, Bronx had never thought about how long Xingchuan and Ming could live before designing this fusion experiment. And the drug that Xingchuan and Ming took personally in order to trick the boss completely cut off his escape route.
The reason why Xingchuan Heming has been able to hold on until now is that he relies on his special physique as a test subject, which makes him more tenacious and can't die easily. But this is just a matter of time. At least in Xingchuan Heming's calculations, even if the time of taking the medicine is changed, he can only hold on until the research institute is breached by the Red Force, and his body is estimated to have reached the end.
I wonder if the comic book will give me another chance to vote if I die before the plot. If the total number of votes reaches the standard, can I come back to life?
Xingchuan and Ming didn't know what the future would be like. He just didn't want to make the other three vests he left behind sad. At least, let them simply think that they died in the war. That would be much better than knowing the truth. Anyway, they couldn't read the comic book. As long as he kept the truth hidden, they wouldn't know the truth.
Perhaps because he had spent too much energy, Xingchuan Heming only felt a strange sweet smell in his chest. He closed his eyes and suppressed the smell, but the consciousness transmitted to Officer Nishihara was still clear and coherent.
"Officer Nishihara, you found out. Yes, I was the one who did something about it. But it's better to keep it secret. I don't want to face the vigilance and precautions of the public security after I leave the organization."
The suspicion and nervousness in Nishizono Tadahiko's eyes gradually faded away, and he was somewhat convinced by what Hoshikawa and Akira said. Although he still felt that there were many doubts, but thinking of Hoshikawa and Akira's past achievements and the convenient conditions of being in the laboratory at this time, it seemed reasonable that such an ending would happen.
"There is one more thing I want to remind Officer Nishihara. The boss will lose control of the organization only after he begins the experiment. But before that, he may find out that something is wrong with the Red Team at any time, and immediately stop the experiment and take strong measures to counterattack. So the Red Team must hide their tracks well, and let Xiaozhi help follow up in real time, and wait until the boss officially starts the experiment before taking action."
Hoshikawa and Akira spoke seriously, and Nishizono Tadahiko also understood the importance of this matter. He agreed seriously, and immediately began to contact the red team members to give them detailed instructions, and once again asked Kagano Satoshi to assist with the work. Seeing that Nishizono Tadahiko was busy with the general attack again, Hoshikawa and Akira finally disconnected the link with peace of mind, closed his eyes and quietly lay on the laboratory table to rest, and his face finally showed obvious fatigue.
A loud cheer suddenly broke out not far away. The experimenters, led by Bronx, were all immersed in the joy of finally successfully extracting the special protein. No one cared about the condition of Xingchuan and Ming, who were used as experimental subjects.
"Finally succeeded... Quick! Send the medicine to me! Quick!" The monitoring equipment that had been in operation suddenly heard the urgent urging voice of the organization's boss.
Bronx's joy was suddenly interrupted, and his face turned ugly. But considering that the other party was the boss of the organization and his only sponsor in the past 20 years, Bronx still suppressed his dissatisfaction. However, now that his research was finally successful, he should be more reserved even in front of the sponsor. Bronx was about to show some restraint when he was completely stunned by the subsequent development.
The closed door of the laboratory was suddenly kicked open roughly. Melo, who was extremely docile in front of Bronx a day ago, was no longer seriously injured and docile. Instead, he rushed in with a gun full of murderous intent. He was wearing a black sportswear that he used to wear when he was on a mission in the action team. Behind him followed a group of black-clad men who were also armed and murderous. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded everyone present.
Bronx was furious. His usual elegant demeanor was gone. He shouted at Melo with a red face and thick neck:
"Mello! What are you doing? Do you know that the experiment being conducted here is the most important project for the boss? The most important! How dare you suddenly barge in without permission? Are you trying to betray the boss?"
However, Melo didn't bother to pay attention to him. His cold eyes passed over Bronx and fell on an inconspicuous lab assistant beside him. Melo sneered and ordered, "Hurry up!"
Bronx was so angry at Melo's arrogant and inexplicable reaction that he wanted to jump up and curse, and he had no intention of analyzing what Melo's attitude and words meant. However, on the experimental table not far away, Xingchuan and Ming had already understood immediately that this was the real purpose of Melo being sent to the research team. It seems that the boss has long been impatient with Bronx's usual arrogance and fantasy, and has planted chess pieces around Bronx early on. As soon as the experimental results came out, he couldn't help but want to take action.
