Chapter 499: A White Knife Goes In, a Red Blade Comes Out
Jiang Ning’s insides ached as she struggled to get up, but she ended up spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, a net was thrown over and trapped the two.
Jiang Ning didn’t care about being captured and reached out to push Huo Yishen, who was also shot and had fallen to the ground. “Ah Shen.”
Huo Yishen was covered in blood and unconscious.
Aware of the cunning nature of the Chinese, the leader did not approach but ordered his men to drag Huo Yishen over, pressing a gun to his head. “One wolf as a bargaining chip isn’t enough. How about adding him?”
Jiang Ning tried to crawl up but was blinded by the blood in her eyes. She anxiously shouted, “Don’t touch him!”
The leader sneered arrogantly. “Give me a reason.”
“I… I can give you my powers, but you must let him go. Otherwise, I’ll kill myself right here.”
“Threatening us?”
This seemed like the most ridiculous joke ever, and they all started laughing uncontrollably.
Jiang Ning laughed along, then pointed the gun at her own head. “My ability chip is in my brain. If I blow myself up, my powers go with me.”
“Let him go, and I’ll give you my powers.”
The leader squinted; his eyes gleaming with danger. “You’re negotiating with me?”
“If you don’t believe me, feel free to try,” Jiang Ning said in a weak voice. “But you should discuss it among yourselves. There’s only one ability chip, and it can only be used for two hours a day. Using it too often will exhaust your mental energy, and if you exceed two hours, it’ll stop working.”
The leader stared at Jiang Ning, as if questioning the truth of what she said.
The base was full of monitoring equipment, both open and hidden, and the two people’s every move was under their eyes. The man was very skilled, but he had no superpowers.
The woman had abilities, but after observing her throughout the whole process, she seemed to be getting more and more tired. Just now, on the second floor, the two of them whispered secretly that her ability time was about to end and they needed to act quickly.
She had been shot multiple times. With such severe injuries, she wouldn’t last long.
Seeing Jiang Ning on the verge of collapse, the leader said, “Fine. As long as you give me your powers, I’ll let him go.”
After observing her, it’s clear that her ability lets her store things and disappear, but she always shows up again at the spot she disappeared from.
In other words, she could only disappear on the spot.
Knowing her weakness, he was confident she couldn’t escape.
To be honest, he didn’t trust these deeply calculating Chinese.
But he had no choice now.
At first, he targeted them because of their medical skills and connections with the Russians.
They’re just three people. They either surrender or die; it’s really no big deal.
But he never imagined they’d become a bottomless pit. Waves of men were sent but never returned, while these Chinese remained completely unharmed.
This is the Arctic, his territory, and there’s no way he’d let anything threaten his existence.
So, he figured out a way to trap the white wolf, hoping to lure them into the base and take them out.
After deploying all kinds of weapons and even sacrificing the entire base.
This is not the result he wanted!
There are only a few people left at the base, and it’s been mostly destroyed. Even if they kill these two today, his authority has already been cut down.
Will these survivors still listen to him after that?
Only he knew how he had achieved his current position.
Although these people often call him boss, they’re actually just opportunistic followers. Once there’s no benefit, will they take the chance to turn on him?
He can’t risk it, so he needs to get the powers for himself.
With the ability, even if the base was completely destroyed, he would remain the boss.
So, he threatened Huo Yishen’s life.
However, Jiang Ning doesn’t believe it and asks him to swear to God.
“I don’t trust you, but I trust in your God! If you lie, may the heavens strike you with five thunderbolts.”
The leader hesitated, but Jiang Ning stood her ground, her finger firmly on the trigger.
Seeing her cough up another mouthful of blood, the leader began to waver. What if she wasn’t lying? What if her death really meant the loss of her ability?
At that moment, someone behind the leader subtly winked.
A soldier holding a gun approached the leader and whispered something in his ear.
He raised his hand and swore to God.
After he finished swearing, Jiang Ning suddenly made a request: she wanted confirmation that Huo Yishen was still alive before agreeing to undergo the surgery to extract the ability chip.
The leader didn’t object. “Fine.”
Jiang Ning struggled to get up and unsteadily made his way toward Huo Yishen.
Due to excessive blood loss, her body was not well controlled, and her steps were shaky, but she never lowered the gun pointed at her own head.
Knowing that she had the ability to collect everything, the soldiers retreated while holding their guns to avoid contact with her.
But just as she was about to reach Huo Yishen, a soldier standing beside her suddenly attack, swiftly grabbing the hand holding her gun.
With multiple gunshot wounds, Jiang Ning’s reactions were much slower, and her gun was thrown away.
At the same time, a soldier struck her neck with a heavy blow.
Darkness enveloped her as she fainted and was immediately tied up tightly.
The leader was overjoyed. “Send her to the operating room immediately for surgery.”
As long as the ability chip could be retrieved, everything that happened today would be worth it.
He remembered her saying the ability chip had to be removed while the host was alive. In other words, once extracted, it had to be transplanted into his body within moments—time was of the essence.
He has to go to the operating table at the same time.
However, before that, he must scan her body to see if there’s a chip.
The Chinese were too cunning to trust completely!
Thinking that her powers would soon become his, the leader was in an incredibly excited mood and couldn’t help but want to shout, “God bless!”
“Boss, watch out!”
One of the soldiers suddenly shouted.
The leader instinctively turned around.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
His body was hit by several bullets. The leader was shocked, then looked down in disbelief at the bloody holes in his chest.
Why… why? He’s the boss.
At the same time, the sound of crazy gunfire erupted
The incident happened suddenly, and the leader’s right-hand man got surrounded and turned into a bloody wreck.
The second-in-command stepped forward, smiling at the leader. “Boss, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.”
The leader pressed his hand tightly to his chest. “Have you lost your mind?”
He couldn’t believe it. The forever second-in-command, who never said much and had been by his side for decades, dared to betray him?
He’s been on guard against everyone, but he never saw this man coming.
The second-in-command, who had always been low-key, no longer concealed his ambition. “Boss, I’ve wanted to be the boss for many years now.”
With a gentle demeanor, he adjusted his glasses and spoke politely. “Thank you for the base and the ability chip, Boss.”
The leader collapsed to the ground, dead with eyes wide open in disbelief.
The third-in-command walked over, grinning like an overgrown fool. “Congratulations, Second Brother.”
The second-in-command patted the third’s shoulder with a refined smile. “From today onward, this base is ours. My position now belongs to you. Are you happy?”
If it weren’t for the third brother’s unintentional words, he would not have had this realization.
Now, all of this belongs to him. Hahaha!
“Happy,” the third-in-command replied in his deep voice but then abruptly stopped smiling. “But I don’t want your position, Second Brother.”
The calm second-in-command was shocked. “What did you just say?”
He felt a sharp pain and subconsciously looked down at his stomach, where a sharp military knife was stuck.
A white knife goes in, a red blade comes out
The seemingly foolish third-in-command stabbed him over a dozen times, his eyes now filled with malice. “Second Brother, I’ve wanted to be the boss for many years too.”
“You… why?”
If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have been able to secure the third seat.
