Chapter 71: Delaying

On the other side, in the square in the center of the camp.

"Open it."

The rebel leader Kabango sat on the high steps, his face unclear, and ordered from above.

Shi Heng immediately placed the two cooler boxes in his hands on the ground and opened the lids with a "click."

"2,000 doses of serum, all here!"

Just then, another cold voice came from the steps:

"Take them out."

Shi Heng was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment, thinking the leader was speaking the local language.

"Excuse me... what does this mean?"

"What are you still standing there for? The leader wants you to take everything inside out!"

A soldier picked up a gun and pressed it fiercely against Shi Heng's lower back.

Shi Heng finally understood Kabango's meaning, so he hurriedly and clumsily took out the serum from the boxes, laying them on the ground layer by layer. Two boxes, 50 doses of serum per layer, a full 40 layers.

Tick, tick...

Time passed second by second.

Transparent sweat dripped from Shi Heng's forehead onto the ground. He was anxious and didn't understand why Kabango would make such a request! If he just wanted to test the authenticity of the serum, he only needed to take a few bottles to test, why put all the serum on the ground?!

"Leader... if all these serums are taken out and placed on the ground... they will expire immediately..." Shi Heng said cautiously.

"Don't talk nonsense! Do what the leader tells you to do!"

Shi Heng gritted his teeth, remembered Li Hui's instructions, and stopped talking, speeding up his movements.

"Done."

After about 15 minutes, Shi Heng finally finished laying out all the serum on the ground.

Just then, the high-and-mighty Kabango waved his hand.

Immediately, a soldier walked out from behind, head held high.

He walked to the front of the serum, squatted down, and began to check the bottles on the ground carefully.

Shi Heng watched the soldier's movements, his brow furrowing deeply.

He saw that the man was not wearing a white coat, looked clumsy, and didn't look like a doctor at all. He picked up the bottles on the ground one by one, looked at them carefully before his eyes, and then put them back one by one.

Shi Heng clenched his hands into fists, cursing inwardly: Damn! Two thousand doses of serum, if he checks them like this, when will he finish? Xiao Yi is still tied up in the torture room, hanging by a thread, waiting for him to save her!

"I stake my life that this serum is real! If even one bottle is fake, you can shoot me!"

"Please release my sister immediately!"

"Shut up!"

The soldier escorting Shi Heng pressed a gun against Shi Heng's temple and said fiercely:

"If you still want to see your sister alive, just stay honest!"

A monstrous anger surged in Shi Heng's heart, his chest heaved violently, and his fingertips had turned white from clenching.

He was about to be unable to suppress the urge to rush in and save Shi Yi!

Just then, a cold, sharp voice suddenly came to his ear:

"Don't move, do as required!"

At this very moment, Kuba led the remaining 200-plus healthy subordinates in the camp, dragging weapons and military rations, and a crowd of people surged into the entrance of the underground air raid shelter.

This was a secret passage that had been chiseled through the mountain, leading to a valley connected to another mountain.

The terrain there was complex, the vegetation was dense, and it was easy to hide in the mountains.

By then... even if that bunch of idiots discovered they had been tricked, they would have long since lost his shadow!

The army was about to set off when an adjutant walked to Kuba's side and lowered his voice:

"General, should we... kill that woman before we leave, to prevent future trouble?"

Kuba sneered, his green eyes emitting a ghostly light in the darkness:

"Heh, no need to waste time, she won't live long anyway, let's go quickly!"

"General, Military Doctor Mohamed hasn't come yet..."

Kuba cursed impatiently.

"That idiot! Forget about him, let's go."

As he spoke, Kuba raised his arm high:

"Brothers, move out!"

Tramp, tramp, tramp—

The narrow, pitch-black tunnel could only accommodate one person crouching to pass through. The soldiers gritted their teeth, carrying heavy luggage, and followed Kuba in a sorry state.

"General... why is it... so narrow here?"

The scout walking at the front complained with a frown.

"How the hell would I know?!"

Kuba gritted his teeth impatiently: "Isn't it because you were lazy and dug the tunnel so narrow! Stop talking nonsense, let's go! That puppet won't last long!"

"Yes..."

However, the troops had not marched for even 5 minutes when a wide open space suddenly appeared in front of them. Torches were burning on the walls, and the place that should have been used to store supplies was now packed with people.

"It really is you, Kuba... General!"

A voice full of hatred sounded, the word "General" bitten extremely hard, as if wanting to tear the person apart and swallow them whole.

Kuba's heart tightened. He opened his eyes wide and looked, and those faces, like evil ghosts from hell, were actually the soldiers of his own unit—to be precise, the sick soldiers he had abandoned.

"You... how are you here?!"

Kuba stammered, his legs already so soft he could barely stand.

"Heh, shouldn't we be the ones asking you that?! Kuba!"

At this moment, Kuba finally reacted; the news had leaked, and these soldiers were here to settle the score! He hurriedly lied:

"I... we didn't want to escape, but to go out first... to move reinforcements. When the reinforcements come, we will come back to pick you up. Lord Ka... Kabango is still in the military camp, how could we abandon him!"

"Are you talking about that puppet?! Kuba, do you take us for fools?!" The soldiers opposite were all seriously ill, but at this moment, they were full of momentum.

"Heh, reinforcements? All of Lord Kabango's soldiers are here; you tell me where you are going to move reinforcements? Still trying to lie to us now?!"

"Kuba, brothers have followed you for more than ten years, through life and death, never retreating! Now that we are sick, you want to throw us here to wait for death like throwing away a dog; are you even human?!"

"Exactly! If we die, we die together! We are all citizens of Heaven, everyone is equal!"

"Stop talking nonsense, brothers, charge!"

"Charge!"

At this very moment, at the other end of the air raid shelter entrance, Qin Hao Bei finally kicked open the iron lock on the door with a "bang."

The room was pitch black, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the smell of dampness and decay—

Qin Hao Bei turned on his flashlight with a "click."

The next second, his pupils shrank suddenly:

"Shi Yi!" ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
