Chapter 627 Who is the prey?

Chapter 627: Chapter 627 Who is the prey?

"How did you get discharged? Your leg injury is serious, you must rest in bed."

When Lin Fan arrived at the helicopter landing area.

He saw Su Delong sitting in a wheelchair waiting there.

"Lying down all day, I was about to go crazy. I really don’t want to be like a piece of trash, worthless. Although I can’t be of much help, coming over to take a look gives me at least a sense of purpose in living."

While speaking, Su Delong touched his plastered leg, "Besides, Lin’s medical skills are so incredible. I used it all of last night, and I feel much better today. Moreover, the doctor said as long as I occasionally hang my leg up to ensure blood flow, it won’t be a problem."

"Dragon Teeth will continue without you, but if you lose your legs, you’ll be stuck in a wheelchair for life. Can’t you see which is more important?"

Su Delong’s sense of justice was something Lin Fan liked.

So, he was even more concerned about his severely injured state.

"You’re absolutely right. But if I leave Dragon Teeth, wouldn’t I also lose my sense of purpose? Don’t worry, I won’t push myself too hard. I’ll just wait for you guys back at the base."

Su Delong controlled his wheelchair and started moving backward.

He would wait at the secret base with other personnel for the arrival of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl.

"He really is a workaholic."

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly.

Su Delong’s work ethic was not just ordinarily strong.

His legs broke just a few days ago, and now he wants to get back to work.

"He’s not just a workaholic, but also a genius. He’s been topping his class since middle school. I heard his IQ is as high as 180, and he even developed a mathematical formula named after him—definitely a genius. He’s best at intelligence logistics analysis and decoding. It’s odd for someone like him not to be doing research but instead preferring to run towards the frontline."

Zhao Jiaqi, dressed in a spicy outfit, walked over with a small bag on her back.

This time, she would be following Lin Fan’s group for the transportation.

"They say there’s a fine line between a genius and a madman. No madness, no Buddha—it’s the abnormal ones who have abilities beyond normal people, right?"

Lin Fan smiled as he watched Xu Shiyong get into another transport plane.

His gaze had become much more complicated today.

It was unclear whether it was anger or a sneer.

"Well, then your brain must also have a problem, the kind that’s very similar to a mental illness."

Zhao Jiaqi gave Lin Fan a contemptuous look.

If he were given a psychological evaluation, it would certainly reveal he’s mentally ill.

"Then you’d better be careful. The mentally ill aren’t held criminally responsible, so maybe I could do some other things too."

Lin Fan provocatively whispered into Zhao Jiaqi’s ear.

And he wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulder.

That felt like the playful teasing between lovers.

To Xu Shiyong, this view was enraging.

"Laugh it up, enjoy your last few hours. Tonight, I’ll definitely make you cry out loud!"

Clenching his fanny pack tightly.

The Crystal Ball was in there.

Tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night.

He was now eagerly awaiting nightfall.

...

"Boom... Boom..."

In a mountain hollowed out, continuous booms echoed.

Numbered containers landed on the trucks.

Each vehicle would shake slightly.

Soon, six trucks were parked on the flat ground, causing a panic.

The six teams waiting there each drove four vehicles, forming a convoy that escorted the trucks in their midst.

Those who were part of this transport were naturally the elites from every Dragon Teeth team.

Fully armed, Lin Fan sat relaxed in the second vehicle’s spot, not bothering to get out.

After all, having just had a conflict with the Three Emperors last night, he didn’t want to see them.

"Follow the pre-determined route, let’s move out!"

At the command of Divine Emperor Wang Pingshan.

Six groups of men immediately split up to take action.

Moving towards different destinations.

Soon, as the vehicles entered one by one into the forks in the road.

All six groups separated and vanished into the thick night.

"Why so serious?"

Zhao Jiaqi, gripping the steering wheel, looked at Lin Fan with confusion.

From the start until now, he hadn’t said a word.

"I’m thinking about the Rat King’s affair."

Lin Fan gazed out into the pitch dark outside the window, his mouth curving into a wry smile.

"You say, he went through all this trouble to push Xu Shiyong forward as his scapegoat, and then what?"

"What then?"

Zhao Jiaqi didn’t understand what he was trying to express.

"Then what is he going to do? Everyone knows the importance of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, yet he deliberately colludes with Hino Hiroshi to have this false bait steal the route map. Could it really be that he has no way of grasping the real route?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, finding all this quite unreasonable.

"It’s not that he can’t grasp it; it’s that he won’t ever have the chance, after all, the real route map is known only in the minds of the Three Emperors. Unless they defect, it’s absolutely impossible."

Zhao Jiaqi herself didn’t know the truth, so how could anyone else possibly have a chance.

"Then why couldn’t it be that one of them has defected?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

A secret plan that had lasted sixty years, they couldn’t possibly only rely on small fries, right?

"Are you crazy? The Three Emperors are the backbone from the founding days of Dragon’s Teeth. If they could defect, there would be no need to destroy the Wind Stabilizing Pearl. Just disclose all 108 nodes of the mysterious department, that would be simpler than destroying a single Wind Stabilizing Pearl. I really don’t know what you’re thinking."

Zhao Jiaqi glared contemptuously at Lin Fan.

Such an incident was absolutely impossible.

"I’m just randomly thinking; after all, if I were the Rat King, I definitely wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Could there be a possibility that he could guess the route map through other means?"

Lin Fan still felt there was something not so straightforward about this.

But for the moment, he couldn’t think of any valuable clues.

"Don’t say guess; why not say predict, like fortune-telling, wouldn’t it be better to say the Rat King is some sort of diviner, one snap of his fingers and he knows everything, no need for all this trouble."

Zhao Jiaqi was too lazy to entertain Lin Fan’s thoughts.

"Predict... there might indeed be a possibility."

Lin Fan smirked.

But the prediction he was referring to was certainly not fortune-telling.

After all, the collection, organization, compilation, and analysis of intelligence work is also a form of computation.

Time ticked by, second by second, as the convoy traveled through the towering mountains.

But suddenly, the lead car braked sharply, causing the entire convoy to slow down abruptly.

"What’s going on?"

Zhao Jiaqi quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie to inquire about the situation with the lead car.

"There’s a big tree that’s fallen on the road, blocking our way. We’ll try to move it!"

The vehicle responsible for clearing the path promptly reported.

But after that, there was no further sound.

Watching the lead car’s door being pushed open, Xu Shiyong stepped out.

Lin Fan watched Zhao Jiaqi, who was driving.

"It seems Xu Shiyong’s patience only goes so far."
