Beep beep beep....
Yu Yuan felt like his head was splitting with pain, his entire body seed to have fallen apart, aching all over.
But he was gradually awakened by the alarm sound nonetheless.
He opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling of the shelter and the energy-saving light emitting a soft glow.
His hazy consciousness slowly returned.
"Am I in... the shelter?"
The previous experiences instantly surfaced in his mind - the mutated giant rat, the battle, the escape, all scenes flashed back one by one.
Looking at the positioning watch on his wrist, it was still persistently vibrating and ringing.
"This is the alarm I set, the purpose is..." Yu Yuan's sleepy eyes instantly beca alert, imdiately checking the current ti - 3:18 AM.
"Not good, there's only five minutes left before the items listed on Taotao Hole exceed 12 hours."
Yu Yuan panicked, imdiately struggling to get up. To prevent others from trading for the items he listed on Taotao Hole, he had set each item's price at a million survival points. If the ti limit was exceeded, the 5% storage fee would be astronomical.
Fortunately, he had set an alarm to wake up in advance, otherwise he would have been finished.
Just as he tried to push himself up from the bed with his right hand, a piercing pain shot through his wrist.
Frowning slightly, he looked at his right wrist and found it had actually swollen slightly.
The injury to his wrist was more serious than he had imagined.
But he had no ti to think about his injuries now.
"Mie Mie~~ co here."
Mie Mie had already co to his side when Yu Yuan woke up. Yu Yuan pulled himself up by holding Mie Mie's horns with his left hand, finally managing to stand up.
Enduring the body aches, he quickly went to the air raid shelter passage outside the shelter and removed all the items listed on Taotao Hole. With only thirty seconds to spare, he successfully removed the last barrel of fuel.
Looking at the full twenty barrels of fuel, weapons, equipnt, and explosives, Yu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, with Mie Mie's help, he dragged back the supplies he had previously placed near the ladder exit to the shelter, removed his equipnt, and took out the vehicle ergency kit and dical backpack.
After treating his wrist injury and applying so bruise dicine, he prepared to continue resting.
However, after seeing Mie Mie, he suddenly rembered that Mie Mie's high-energy sheep milk seed to be effective for injury recovery, especially for fracture-type injuries.
Although his wrist wasn't fractured, it probably had minor bone cracks and contusion symptoms.
He imdiately took out and drank today's portion of high-energy sheep milk, then no longer resisted his body's protests and fell into a deep sleep.
anwhile, at the Black Shield Police Departnt.
Carn was locked in a separate room, waiting for the final outco.
He silently estimated the ti in his mind.
"Been locked up for about 10 hours now! The investigators should be back soon."
Looking at the light on the ceiling, Carn's mind kept flashing with a certain figure.
Creak...
The door was pushed open, and an extrely burly figure entered the room, sitting on a chair that looked slightly small.
This was a dark-skinned, bald muscular man with sharp, piercing eyes. The dozens of pounds of commander gear he wore didn't seem heavy at all on him; instead, he appeared completely at ease.
He looked at Carn and got straight to the point.
"Carn, the investigators have returned regarding the situation you ntioned. They indeed found traces of the Burning Fortress, and our people also saw mbers of the Thug Prison heading to the Burning Fortress hours ago. You're cleared."
Carn wasn't surprised by this. He looked at the muscular man before him.
"Commander Lao Ke, the joint attack by the Burning Fortress and Thug Prison on us is definitely not simple. I suspect this is just the beginning. I'm afraid the Thug Prison's ambush against us at the Landmark Hotel was just bait, aiming to lure us into attacking their trading team. The insider who leaked information to us might have already been discovered by the Thug Prison."
"I'm aware of that. Alright, we'll discuss this later. The Chief wants to see you now, co with !"
A trace of surprise finally appeared on Carn's face: "You an, Chief Hogg?"
"Hurry up, don't keep the Chief waiting." Lao Ke urged.
"Yes!"
The two went to the fifth floor of the Police Departnt and entered an extrely luxurious room.
Inside the room, soone was already waiting, facing away from the door, looking at the night sky outside through the window, the cigar in his fingertips glowing with embers.
Lao Ke brought Carn into the room, standing at attention and saluting the figure.
"Chief, I've brought Carn!"
Two seconds later, the figure slowly turned around, glancing indifferently at Carn, giving him a once-over before turning away again.
"Leave now."
A cold, emotionless voice sounded in the room.
"Yes!" Lao Ke imdiately led Carn out of the room.
Only then did Carn notice that Commander Lao Ke's nose tip was covered with sweat beads, making him feel shocked inside.
As the head of the three commanders of the Black Shield Police Departnt, Lao Ke could be considered the second-in-command after the Chief. Yet he was actually this terrified of the Chief.
"Alright, you can go back now! The war between Thug Prison, Burning Fortress and us will probably break out soon, but..." Lao Ke looked at Carn with a predator's gaze.
"Don't let others know about this matter for now, understand what I an?"
Carn understood imdiately.
"I understand, Commander Lao Ke."
"Go!"
Carn imdiately headed out, but just as he was about to go downstairs, he encountered a figure coming his way.
Carn stopped to look, his heart tightening, an inexplicable sense of fear that made him tremble suddenly surging within him. He imdiately composed himself and saluted.
"Commander Loris!"
Loris was obviously sowhat surprised to see Carn here, pausing his steps slightly.
After giving Carn a deep look, the corner of his mouth lifted in an almost imperceptible curve, then he brushed past Carn.
Watching Loris's retreating figure, the inexplicable fear in Carn's heart slowly dissipated.
Feeling the change in his emotions and recalling what Soda had said in the sewer, Carn's gaze toward Loris subtly changed.
Pursing his lips slightly, he turned and headed downstairs.
When Yu Yuan woke up again, it was already 4 PM.
He had actually slept a full 12 hours, but his condition had recovered considerably.
During the 12 hours, with the single bed's bonus to physical function recovery plus the healing effects of the high-energy sheep milk,
Except for so slight pain remaining in his right wrist, the aches in other parts of his body had disappeared, and his drowsy mind had beco clear again.
Lighting a cigarette to refresh himself, Yu Yuan sat on the bed leaning against the wall and began checking the virtual panel.
Many players were actually enthusiastically discussing sothing in the chat channel.
The chat ssages were refreshing quickly. Curious, Yu Yuan looked and realized that during his unconscious sleep, sothing major had actually happened.
