Chapter 685: Big Brother ( 2 )
In less than two seconds, the ice needles stabbed several children’s necks. The next moment, their eyes rolled back, and they fell to the ground.
"Who is it?! Come out!"
Out of 28 children, only 3 of them managed to dodge the ice needles. Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi raised her eyebrows. These children were much stronger than the ability-users.
Since she didn’t have to worry about being found out by the guards, she leaped off the tree and landed several meters from the children.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces, the children took a step back and raised their weapons, ready to attack.
Noticing the murderous intent coming from them, Jiao Lizhi said, "I’m not your enemy."
"Why should we trust you?" one of the children asked.
"Because only I can help you leave this place."
When they heard her words, the children were clearly tempted and hesitated. They had been kidnapped and tortured by those people for a long time.
They were willing to do anything to leave this place, but they couldn’t trust this couple. What if they were one of those people and came to test their loyalty?
Noticing their hesitation, Jiao Lizhi walked toward the unconscious children and piled them together. Afterward, she touched one of them and took them into her space.
The moment they disappeared, the 3 children’s eyes widened. After a moment of silence, the tallest one finally turned to Jin Xuyan and said, "As long as you are able to show us the black flame, we will go with you."
Hearing his words, Jiao Lizhi turned to her fiancé. Although he didn’t know why this child demanded to see the black flame, Jin Xuyan still opened his palm and created a wisp of black flame.
The children’s eyes widened when they saw the black flame. The next second, their eyes reddened, and tears flowed from the corners of their eyes.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi was taken aback and asked, "Hey, why did you suddenly cry?"
The children knelt on one knee and said, "Big Brother, you are finally coming back to bring us out."
Jin Xuyan narrowed his eyes when he heard their words. "Who told you about me?" he asked coldly.
"Before Brother Rui and Brother Yue left, they told us that our Big Brother would return one day and take us away from this place. Our Big Brother is the one commanding the black flame," the tallest child replied.
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment before he asked, "Do you trust me?"
"We trust you," the children replied in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, Jin Xuyan disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind them. Before they could react, he chopped at their napes. After the children fainted, Jiao Lizhi took them into her space.
She looked at her fiancé and asked, "Brother Yan, are we going to take all of the children away?"
"They are trained and have been able to survive for so long, showing that their talents are superior. If we are able to recruit them, it will increase our combat power," Jin Xuyan nodded.
Jiao Lizhi smiled and replied, "Okay."
Using the mini map, they found the rest of the children’s locations. After being hit by the ice needles, the children fainted, and Jiao Lizhi took them into her space. When they finished taking away the last children, the sky was brightening.
They didn’t have much time left. If the guards noticed that the children were gone, it would alarm the leaders. Before they were exposed, they had to go to the laboratory.
While their plan had a high possibility of success, reality was not as simple as they thought. Before they even reached the laboratory area, the sound of alarms blaring echoed throughout the entire facility.
Knowing that the guards had found out about the disappearance of the children, Jiao Lizhi quickly held Jin Xuyan’s hand and entered her space.
Not long after, a group of guards appeared at the end of the corridor and rushed toward the training ground.
Due to the disappearance of the children, the facility was on high alert.
Inside Jiao Lizhi’s space, Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi had already carried the children to the grassland area. Fortunately, they had collected a lot of furniture before, so it was not a problem for them to get enough beds for them.
While the 2 of them were busy, Jiang Ziyi stood at a distance with his hands clasped behind his back.
He looked at the children and said, "If you want to take them out of the facility, you have to remove the trackers planted on them. Otherwise, not only will you expose your location, but they might lose their lives when the tracker is triggered."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi recalled the tracker her sister had told her about before. She nodded and asked, "Gaia, can you remove the tracker on the children’s bodies?"
After a moment, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind. "Host, the system is able to remove the control bug planted on them, but it carries a 5% possibility of nerve damage."
"Besides removing the control bug, is there no other solution?" she asked.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Jiang Ziyi said casually, "If I remember correctly, your team should have a member who has a lot of experience in the medical field. You can ask him. Maybe he has a way to remove the tracker."
Without the need for him to call out the name, both Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan knew that he was talking about Mo Junjie. Although he was renowned in the medical field, he was a researcher, and Jiao Lizhi was actually doubting his surgical skills.
She considered the pros and cons for a while before she finally turned to her fiancé and asked, "Brother Yan, what do you think?"
Jin Xuyan knew that Mo Junjie’s surgical skills were actually the best in the country. It was just that he was not interested in operating on patients and was more interested in doing experiments.
