NOVPUB"Wu Bin, look down there."
Han Jiaoyan spoke in such a soft voice that Wu Bin could barely hear her.
He looked down in the direction of Han Jiaoyan’s pointing finger and noticed a dozen Dragon Slaves with bandages passing right below them!
The other three also woke up.
Dong Yue, seeing the Dragon Slaves passing beneath them, was terrified.
It should be noted that they were only four meters above the ground. If these Dragon Slaves looked up, their position would be completely exposed!
Wu Bin made a silence gesture to them, signaling them to calm down.
These Dragon Slaves were essentially puppets and were not as alert and vigilant as humans.
As long as they didn’t make a noise, they were safe.
Just as the Dragon Slaves were about to pass their area, Dong Yue’s phone suddenly slid out of her pocket and with a smack, it fell on the ground.
All the Dragon Slaves’ attention was instantly drawn to the phone.
The hearts of Dong Yue and her companions were hanging by a thread.
Wu Bin clenched his dagger, ready to fight.
If these Dragon Slaves discovered them, Wu Bin would jump down immediately to battle with the Dragon Slaves, buying time for Dong Yue and the others to escape.
Just as these Dragon Slaves realized something and were about to look up,
a high-pitched dragon chant came from the dense forest far away.
The Dragon Slaves, as if receiving some kind of command, all ran towards the direction from which the dragon chant came.
Seeing all the Dragon Slaves running away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Bin checked the time and realized it was already past five in the morning.
Wu Bin said to the girls, "Alright, it’s about time, we can start heading back."
With Wu Bin’s help, the women climbed down from the tree and walked in the opposite direction of the Dragon Slaves.
After walking for about twenty minutes, they finally returned to the dock.
At the dock, a military ship was anchored.
Dozens of fully armed soldiers were guarding the area.
As soon as they ran out of the dense forest, a lookout with binoculars spotted them.
The lookout reported their position, and soon a squad quickly moved towards Wu Bin and his group to rendezvous.
After briefly verifying their identities, they were arranged to board the military ship and were all set to rest in the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Song Bing and Ding Shan there.
"Old Wu! It’s so good that you’re alright!"
Song Bing came over and gave Wu Bin a tight hug.
If it wasn’t for Wu Bin having planned their escape route in advance, Song Bing and the others would surely have been caught by the Dragon Slaves.
It could be said that Wu Bin had saved the lives of most of the people here.
"Old Wu, I thought we’d never see you again. Do you know how worried we were?"
Seeing Song Bing crying and sniffling, Wu Bin couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
"Enough, don’t smear your snot on me, stay away from me."
Wu Bin pushed Song Bing away with a look of disgust on his face.
Han Jiaoyan also embraced her close friends deeply.
"Have you seen Dong Wu?"
Although Dong Wu was usually a bit of a scoundrel, he was still her brother who had grown up with her, so Dong Yue was very worried about him. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Ding Shan shook her head and said, "We ran in different directions, so we don’t know what happened to them."
"But the direction they ran had hardly any cover, we fear the worst might have happened."
When Ding Shan said that, Dong Yue was momentarily lost in thought.
After all, it was her own brother. If something really happened to him on the island, how could she explain it to their father?
While Han Jiaoyan was comforting Dong Yue, a soldier walked in from outside.
"Who here is Wu Bin?"
Hearing the soldier’s words, Wu Bin raised his hand.
"That’s me."
"Please come outside, we need to talk to you."
Although Wu Bin was puzzled, he obediently followed them out.
No sooner had he stepped out of the hall than he saw Nightingale, dressed in black combat attire.
Behind Nightingale, a group from The Ninth Research Institute’s special task force followed.
All familiar faces, they smiled and greeted Wu Bin.
Seeing Nightingale, Wu Bin realized something bad was happening.
"What are you standing there for? Come here."
Hearing Nightingale’s words, Wu Bin could only slowly move toward her.
Nightingale pointed at a set of equipment on the ground and said, "You have ten minutes to change into this equipment, and then we’re leaving immediately."
Wu Bin couldn’t help but laugh ruefully.
"Nightingale, where are we going? I’m a survivor here, for crying out loud. I just want to rest on this ship."
Nightingale looked at Wu Bin and said nothing.
Just then, Jin Nanhua, supported by another person and coughing, approached from a distance.
"Wu Bin, long time no see."
Seeing Jin Nanhua’s sunken eyes, Wu Bin was shocked.
"Doctor, what happened to you?"
Jin Nanhua had always looked frail due to work reasons, which Wu Bin understood.
But now Jin Nanhua’s face was pale, and he looked emaciated.
It seemed as if he had been seriously ill.
Jin Nanhua waved his hand and said, "Why I look like this isn’t important anymore, but Wu Bin, I hope you can join us on this special operation."
Wu Bin hadn’t expected Jin Nanhua to make such a request to him.
Wu Bin asked, "Doctor, I’m just an ordinary person, isn’t it inappropriate for me to join your special operation?"
Jin Nanhua said with a smile, "You are not an ordinary person; otherwise, why would you have joined The Ninth Research Institute?"
"Besides, if you were an ordinary person, how would that girl named Zhu Ling faithfully follow you?"
Upon hearing Jin Nanhua mention Zhu Ling, Wu Bin’s heart suddenly grew anxious.
Could it be that they had discovered Zhu Ling’s identity?
Wu Bin said awkwardly, "Doctor, I don’t understand what you mean."
Jin Nanhua said with a smile, "Some things don’t need to be spelled out, do they?"
"I can only say that The Ninth Institute knows about your situation, but you still know too little about The Ninth Institute."
"Since you are a member of The Ninth Institute, you need to participate in our actions. If The Ninth Institute needs it, then even sacrificing is worth it."
Wu Bin had thought Jin Nanhua was easy to talk to, a conservative type.
But it turned out he was a radical!
Nightingale always asked for his opinion before a mission, but Jin Nanhua directly started talking about sacrifice with him.
Feeling helpless, Wu Bin could only compromise.
