Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Meeting without Recognizing Each Other
Han Jiaojiao disappeared on the fifth day. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
The sun rose, bathing the earth in white daylight, and the temperature rose slightly, yet it remained bone-chillingly cold.
Long Yueze looked down at his wristwatch, eight o’clock in the morning sharp.
He had been waiting for four hours on the essential path outside the base’s gate and had not seen a single soul. He had tried to contact Chujiang using the satellite phone at six o’clock, but there was no connection.
Now it was already eight o’clock in the morning, and people began to come and go from the base entrance, one after another.
...This feeling was terrible. Jiaojiao had run away, and all of his subordinates were out of reach.
—A large convoy appeared ahead, with two extended military trucks and the rest were uniform all-terrain off-road vehicles.
Long Yueze slightly narrowed his eyes. The distance was too far to see the faces of the people in the cars, but he was certain that these people were not from Chujiang.
It looked...like they were not from Yunan either...
If they were neither Chujiang nor Yunan, then who could they be?... Long Yueze suddenly realized a possibility! His eyes widened dramatically! He twisted the car key to start the vehicle, trying to leave!
But his location was the compulsory route outside the base! With the approaching convoy on one side and Yunan Base on the other! If the people were from the Space-Time Base, wouldn’t entering the Yunan Base make it as easy for them to catch him as trapping a turtle in a jar?!
But now there was no time for him to ponder! The convoy was getting closer and closer, and Long Yueze quickly turned around and drove towards Yunan.
He hadn’t gone far when the car began to slow down; no matter how much he pressed the accelerator, the car kept losing speed, the wheels spinning and squealing on the ice as if slipping, without any forward movement!
Long Yueze was horrified. Watching the approaching convoy in the rearview mirror, he suddenly felt trapped in a hopeless situation!
Clearly, there was still seven to eight hundred meters to go. Could it be... could it be that Han Yi’s spiritual power had reached this extent?...
Long Yueze gritted his teeth and vigorously opened the car door. Sure enough, his car was suspended half a meter above the ground by an unseen force, the wheels spinning uselessly. And the car continued to rise and began to move backward rapidly!
Long Yueze immediately grabbed the blanket from the back seat, wrapped it around himself, and jumped out of the car!—The blanket protected him from any stones that might be hidden in the snow. He rolled in the snow and then quickly got up and fled into the woods on one side!
However, if Han Yi could control the car from such a distance, how could he let anyone escape? Long Yueze was merely struggling in vain at the end of his rope.
He was flipped over by an invisible spiritual power, tumbling over and over on the ground, lying prone, then began sliding rapidly towards the convoy as if dragged by a swift horse!
As his body scraped quickly against the ground, Long Yueze desperately tried to keep his head up to prevent injury to his face, but his abdomen, thighs, and knees immediately felt a searing pain!
His thick jacket offered some protection, but the fabric over his knees was quickly worn through!
Long Yueze couldn’t contain his shrill screams of agony!
His face touched the ground several times, quickly scraping off a layer of skin, and by the time Han Yi dragged him in front of the vehicles, Long Yueze was already drenched in blood! Even so, it seemed not enough to satisfy Han Yi’s anger, who hung him on the side of a vehicle, letting his legs continue to drag along with the moving car.
When the car finally stopped, Long Yueze was at his last gasp.
The car door opened, and Han Yi emerged. He wore a navy blue military combat uniform, draped in a glossy, black fox fur cloak, his countenance somber, radiating murderous intent!
"Call a doctor over to treat him," Han Yi instructed indifferently.
On the other side of the car, Yan Xiao got out, looked at Han Yi in surprise and said, "Brother Han, wouldn’t that be letting him off too easy?"
Han Yi sneered, "Letting him die would be the real mercy."
Yan Xiao saw a few strands of violence flash through Han Yi’s eyes and knew that Han Yi was preparing for a long-term settlement with Long Yueze... The scene of the siege of Chujiang was vivid in his mind. Although he knew that Han Yi’s methods would only be used on adversaries, he still couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
A few soldiers searched Long Yueze’s car for a while, turned out a big pile of items, and brought them back to Han Yi.
"Leader! There’s no one in the car!"
Han Yi nodded slightly, his face devoid of much expression. His spiritual power had already thoroughly searched the car; there was only Long Yueze inside.
Han Yi looked at the pile of mess on the ground, with food, firearms, and a hodgepodge of daily necessities, as well as... a bag of medicine.
Han Yi’s eyes fixed on the pile of medicine, feeling like his breath was about to stop. He took a deep breath, suddenly turned around swiftly, and kicked Long Yueze in the stomach! Then he ruthlessly stepped on the wound on his knee, grinding it with the heavy sole of his military boot, mercilessly, bit by bit, despite Long Yueze’s screams of agony!
The doctor stood shivering nearby, watching the wound he had just stopped from bleeding become a bloody mess again, not daring to make a sound.
When Han Yi was furious, even Yan Xiao would keep a wide berth, lest he be the target of his wrath, let alone others?
Yan Xiao carefully glanced at the plastic bag with the medicine. He didn’t know the use of folic acid, but when he saw the pregnancy-specific calcium tablets, his eyes widened, and he felt his heart beating even faster...
No wonder Han Ge would be so angry... He must be feeling remorse, right? At a time when Han Jiaojiao needed him the most, he had failed to take care of her...
"Where is she?" Han Yi finally let go of Long Yueze and asked.
Long Yueze’s consciousness was nearing confusion. Hearing Han Yi’s question, he hooked up a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, making a hoarse sound in his throat, as if choked by blood or phlegm.
Han Yi’s face darkened, and after looking at Long Yueze for a while, he turned and ordered, "Get him in the car and continue treatment."
"Ah? ...Yes, yes!" the doctor quickly responded.
"Han Ge, aren’t we going to continue questioning him?" Yan Xiao asked him.
Han Yi was already sitting in the car and said, "I know where she is."
He could sense her. The connection had been lost before because his Ability was blocked by the spaceship, and later it was due to the distance being too far. But now, she was within arm’s reach...
Within arm’s reach.
He would find her very soon.
Han Yi, with a large group of men, blatantly arrived at Yunan Base. Yan Xiao wanted to advise him to act discreetly, but considering Han Yi’s raging fury, he dared not speak casually.
Unexpectedly, just as they reached the gate, Han Yi signaled for the convoy to stop. Yan Xiao gave him a surprised look, wondering if Han Ge had heard his thoughts?
But before Yan Xiao could think further, he saw Han Yi opening the car door and striding forward, and at that moment, a figure appeared at the base gate...
Yan Xiao watched as Han Jiaojiao walked out from the gate, looking stunned at Han Yi, and then was embraced by Han Yi fully!
Yan Xiao let out a sigh of relief, thinking that at last she was found, and Han Ge wouldn’t go mad anymore.
But before his heart could settle, he saw Han Jiaojiao struggling in Han Yi’s arms from afar! She even raised the Dagger in her hand and fiercely stabbed it into Han Yi’s chest!
What the hell kind of twist was this?!
Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and as he finally came to his senses, he immediately pushed open the car door and shouted, "Where’s the doctor?! What are you spacing out for?! Hurry up and treat the leader!!!"
