Chapter 688

This feeling was truly not pleasant.

But although the feeling was unpleasant, because the speed was truly too fast, this feeling did not last long; about ten seconds later, the few of them stopped.

They stopped in a slightly sparse Lin Zi; here the branches' obstruction was not as thick as in the area just now, and anyone above, paying a little attention, could discover them.

Hearing Chu Muyu, wanting to quickly take the few of them to a good hiding place, but Ning Chen's condition at this moment did not seem very good; his temples were covered with sweat beads, his face was also somewhat pale, and although he was standing straight, he looked a bit wobbly.

Hearing Chu Muyu was startled; he quickly went over and supported Ning Chen: "What's wrong?"

Ning Chen, while relaxing and breathing, kept an eye on the surroundings; seeing the sparse branches overhead, he frowned, and not caring who was supporting him, said: "Don't worry about these; you go forward first. For a while, the opposite side still won't discover us."

Hearing Chu Muyu looked at the other two people again; their faces were much like Ning Chen's, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Then what's wrong with you? Do you need me to support you?"

The girl bent over; hearing this, she raised her head, waved her hand: "Just a bit of motion sickness." Speaking to this, her eyes carried a bit of admiration: "How did you do that just now? How could your speed be so fast?"

Ning Chen just looked at her once, shook his head, and did not say anything.

The girl looked at Ning Chen's face, knew he was unwilling to speak, so did not seek embarrassment for herself; she just said with admiration: "... You really have many secrets on you; I dare say you are absolutely not a normal person."

At this moment, Ning Chen was still leaning against a tree, breathing and resting; hearing this, he also happened to make a joke: "I am of course a normal person, just ran a bit faster."

Hearing this, the girl immediately laughed: "Alright, you don't need to make this useless explanation; could I still believe this story of yours? When you have rested, we will set off."

Ning Chen made an "mm" sound; in fact, he had been thinking that after his stamina recovered, he would go to a safe place as soon as possible.

The others were also cooperative; they said nothing. One minute later, Ning Chen's stamina recovered a bit; he straightened his waist and said: "Let's go; it is time to flee."

So the three people automatically took Ning Chen's hand; Ning Chen did not plan to use the fastest speed again. At this moment, although he had some strength, it was not enough for him to move so many people.

So Ning Chen warned in advance: "This time I will take you to flee at normal speed; the speed will not be too fast. Try your best to keep up."

In fact, it was not only Ning Chen; the other three people also had little stamina. This journey truly consumed too much of their stamina; if the speed were any faster, they could not bear it. Now they were all still panting.

But to escape death, the three people said nothing; they just silently took hold of Ning Chen, let him walk in the very front, and lead them to run.

During the running process, the curly-haired one and the girl, without agreement, had only one thought.

Indeed, don't trust Ning Chen; with his kind of speed, who could catch up?

Having someone ahead lead the run saves much trouble compared to running with all one's strength, although one must pay attention not to be tripped by small stones or small branches on the road.

At this time, Ning Chen chose to lead them to a place with overhead cover; going forward nearly four hundred meters, they could reach the national border.

At this moment, the three people's hearts were filled with relief; after all, back then, Ning Chen chose to abandon the other two scientists and Master Li, but did not abandon them.

Seeing they were almost at the national border, almost at the light, Ning Chen's face suddenly changed; frowning, he sternly ordered the three people to lean their backs against the tree trunks and stick tightly.

Because he heard the boom of an airplane coming from directly above.

It meant that Jia Yi very likely already knew where they were.

Ten minutes ago.

The screen in Jia Yi's hand showed only a lush forest, but no human figures could be seen, meaning his subordinates had lost the people again.

At the very beginning, Jia Yi might have been furious, but now he no longer had the leisure to get angry; his tone even tended toward calmness: "Find them for me. People cannot possibly disappear inexplicably, right?"

It was just that Jia Yi's subordinates, hearing his tone like this, became even more frightened and fearful.

People cannot vanish into thin air. Jia Yi stared tightly at the screen; although he knew Ning Chen was not an ordinary person, he was still scared by these abilities of his.

Perhaps... Ning Chen really might pull off a magic trick of vanishing into thin air.

Thinking of this, Jia Yi suddenly frowned; he did not believe in ghosts and spirits legends in his daily life, and he certainly had never believed in such incredible-sounding things.

But Ning Chen, taking three people, truly and verifiably disappeared from the screen. According to reason, the combination of Ning Chen and three people was not a small target; after confirming the few were in the Lin Zi, how could they suddenly disappear?

Jia Yi still did not believe Ning Chen would do magic; he set a time limit for his subordinates: "Within two hours, if you have not found Ning Chen, we will withdraw our troops and return. Afterwards, you will atone with death. Time is only two hours; I have given you enough chances, and my losses have been great enough."

Jia Yi decided to give up; he could no longer waste time with Ning Chen here. Two hours was his final limit of patience. If Chu Muyu really escaped, although it would be a bit troublesome, Jia Yi's network of connections accumulated in Cangbei over so many years was not fake.

Jia Yi's subordinates all shivered; to ensure their heads would not fall when they returned, everyone pulled themselves together with twelve points of spirit to search for the whereabouts of Ning Chen and the others.

And Jia Yi was also searching; the picture presented on his screen was top-tier high-definition. Although he was not on the scene, he could see everything in that forest.

It was just that there was also a limitation: Jia Yi's viewpoint was exactly the same as the sniper's viewpoint on the airplane; both were looking down. With so many dense branches overhead, seeing the people underneath through these thick branches was simply a fantasy.

But Jia Yi moved the screen with one hand, and truly found a clue.

The location where the clue appeared was a slightly sparse Lin Zi; even with the overhead viewpoint, the things underneath could be clearly seen.

Including the figure of Ning Chen taking three people and sweeping past.

But the speed at which that figure appeared on the screen was too fast; it was almost a flash. However, Jia Yi's eyes were very good, and his experience was also very rich, so he still captured this clue.

And it was also because the equipment in Jia Yi's hand was very good, so a little hint could also be seen on the screen.

After Jia Yi saw that figure, he was immediately startled; he repeatedly dragged back the progress bar and slowed the speed, repeatedly watched that clip, and took screenshots, rubbing his chin and slowly studying.

Jia Yi did not see wrong; that was indeed not one figure, but three. If Jia Yi guessed correctly, the one running ahead leading the way should be Ning Chen, and the three people behind were survivors.

What Jia Yi cared about most was Chu Muyu's life or death. If Chu Muyu died, he could put his heart at ease; at least some of his secrets would not be leaked out.

But whether it was the news from the pursuing troops or the facts he saw himself, both discovered that Chu Muyu actually had not died.

Jia Yi's heart suddenly hung up; he was still somewhat uneasy. He observed the movements of those people on the screen, striving for his subordinates to capture Chu Muyu and the others.

And after Ning Chen rested, he took the few of them and started running again; by a twist of fate, they just brushed past the airplane that had just flown to their heads.

Ning Chen's speed was naturally extremely fast; even before the snipers could react, he had already arrived inside the national border.

And not only did he arrive inside the line, but he also infinitely approached the outside of the line; they only needed to walk a few steps, and they could go home.

Chu Muyu, Xiao Ling, and the curly-haired one were still adapting to that dizziness; Ning Chen had already straightened his body. He looked back at the airplane still circling above the forest and slowly, gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

Finally returned.

As long as they crossed this line, no one would pursue them; the people of Hua Guo could guarantee their safety, not to mention Ning Chen was there to "protect the royal carriage."

Although the three people's heads were dizzy, dizzy as they were, their hearts still uncontrollably began to get excited. One by one, they raised their heads to look toward the national border; all suppressed in their eyes was longing.

Ning Chen saw through their thoughts and slowly relaxed: "It is safe; my mission... is also completed."

Ning Chen was like someone relieved of a heavy burden; the spine that had been straightened tight these days finally slumped down. No one needed him to exert strength to save anymore, and there was no need to carry two whole human lives on his body anymore.

Although not to the point of completely fainting, after Ning Chen relaxed, he actually felt a bit weak. So he interrupted Xiao Ling and the curly-haired one, who were currently looking at their motherland with tears in their eyes; although he did not want to ruin the atmosphere, he still spoke.

"Stop looking, let's go. We'll go straight in and head home."

As soon as the words "head home" came out, Curly shivered all over. He had held back his tears the entire journey; although the mountains were high and the roads far, they had finally reached their destination. Hearing those three words now, he could no longer hold back, and his eyes turned red.

Perhaps not wanting anyone to see his expression, Curly wiped his eyes hard, said nothing, and followed behind Ning Chen. Ning Chen saw this but said nothing, knowing it was the other's pride at work.

Only ten meters remained.

Ten meters away lay their home.

On the other side, Jia Yi was still searching the forest for Ning Chen and the others. Jia Yi always believed that no matter how supernatural Ning Chen was, no matter how godlike, there must be a limit to his range.

Since he had just seen the figures of four people flash past, it was obvious that Ning Chen certainly did not possess the ability to make people vanish and reappear. At most, he was just running a bit fast, fast enough that the figures in Jia Yi's hands appeared as afterimages.

Jia Yi had originally been searching with full confidence, but when he saw Ning Chen, Xiao Ling, Chu Muyu, and Curly standing beside the national border, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

How is this possible... how is this possible...?

Jia Yi murmured, his eyes vacant, staring fixedly at the figures on the screen.

Why, at this moment, had they already moved to this location?

And he, though staring fixedly at the screen, had still failed to notice, thinking the four people were still in the forest.

Jia Yi finally realized he had been played for a fool by these four people. After the initial shock, he finally began to burn with rage.

Jia Yi slammed his hand on the table, the fire in his eyes almost ready to burst forth. Word by word, he spoke with extreme cruelty: "I want their lives!"

The assistant looked at Jia Yi in fear, then at the screen that was half-shattered. He was trembling with fright but had to remind him: "They have already reached the edge of the national border. If we act, we will be openly opposing the Hua Country... Although those few people were locked up by us in the company for experiments, they are still citizens of the Hua Country. Killing their citizens on Hua Country soil will make us enemies of the other side!"

The assistant had not even finished speaking when Jia Yi suddenly turned his head. The half of his face turned sideways showed no expression, only a flash of cold light in his eyes.

"I don't need you to remind me," Jia Yi said while pressing his hand on the gun at his waist. "I know my own limits."

581 meets the contact.

Seeing Jia Yi make such a move, the assistant shivered all over.

Rumors outside claimed Jia Yi had killed countless people, drank blood and ate raw flesh, and would do anything; the number of people he had killed was beyond counting. Now that he drew his gun, what would happen next was almost predictable.

But Jia Yi only drew the gun, spun the pistol on his fingertip, and holding the grip, seemed lost in thought. Finally, he turned his head and met the assistant's gaze.

564. Life and Death on a Thread (9)

Jia Yi curled the corner of his lips into a cold sneer: "What, are you worried I'll turn on you?"

The assistant quickly shook his head and added: "No..."

Jia Yi looked at him meaningfully, then withdrew his gaze, lowering his head to look at the screen in his hands.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief: "Then do you still want to pursue them?"

Jia Yi suddenly frowned, his expression showing a trace of contemplation. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Forget it." In an instant, his eyes held a cold, sinister meaning. "I have power in the Hua Country as well. Once those three separate from Ning Chen, I will naturally have a way to kill them."

The assistant had long known that Jia Yi was not the type to let things go. Although he disliked Jia Yi's habit of killing innocents, they were both in the same criminal boat. If Jia Yi were caught, he himself would have no good end.

So the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fine, as long as those three don't leak the clues."
