Meng Xiaobai woke up again, seemingly having a nightmare where he was struggling with brute force against Meng Yao, trying to run out of the sleeping bag. The confined space made him feel uncomfortable. Initially, Meng Yao didn't understand why he struggled so much. Wu Shuang said, "Boss, carry him out and don’t provoke him."
Meng Yao hurriedly carried him out without wanting to provoke Meng Xiaobai further.
After being taken outside, Xiaobai seemed a bit better but the pain in his body made him suffer. He usually just slept through it as he couldn't feel any pain while unconscious, and once awake, the pain was very apparent. His hand reached for his thigh to cover the wound, but Wu Shuang held his hand firmly and softly comforted him. Xiaobai was really in agony and wanted to struggle again; Meng Yao asked Wu Shuang to administer sedatives, but she refused, saying, "There's no point using too many sedatives as they won't be effective anyway. It’s better for Xiaobai to endure it as he’ll get used to it eventually. The primary concern is his leg – if the infection worsens when we return, amputation might become necessary. Just bear with everything else."
Meng Yao was deeply worried; after some time of this turmoil, Xiaobai’s body was drenched in cold sweat. Suddenly, he mumbled incoherently, "Brother... Save me..."
His words were spoken in delirium; Meng Yao felt as if his heart had been pierced and couldn’t speak a word, only pressing his face against Xiaobai’s.
Meng Yao tightly held him as the night was cold, trying to stay close to the fire. Xiaobai never allowed him to help, always shouting for him to leave; he didn't want anyone touching him or saving him, stubbornly showing that he needed no assistance, but his heart wasn’t so strong.
Xiaobai became quiet, and Meng Yao painfully comforted and calmed him. Wu Shuang was suddenly startled and immediately drew her gun towards a certain part of the forest; Feng Yun instantly went on alert. The forest was dark and eerie with a green glow emanating from somewhere.
Yun put on night-vision goggles and muttered, "Oh my God..."
This was a wolf pack - one of the most ferocious in the forest, towering over a meter high when standing. They were staring at them with green eyes, having been hungry for quite some time and waiting to attack. There were about ten wolves.
Wolves are social animals; they usually travel in groups rather than alone. Deep into the forest where few venture, they must have been disturbed by their presence. Feng said, "What do we do, Wu Shuang"
"Wait!" Wu Shuang replied. She had encountered wolf packs during her半個月的野外經驗裡，也遇見過狼群。今天她們註定無法安睡了；如果狼群發起攻擊，她們必須開槍自衛，但一開槍，不知道會不會引來更多的野狼。
This is a terrifying forest, and one must be cautious at all times.
Moyao did not bother with the pack of wolves; he only protected Xiaobai. Wushuang could handle the wild wolves, so that pack just watched them without moving, as if they were hunters quietly observing their prey.
Yun felt a chill run down her spine; whoever was being targeted by these predators wouldn't feel comfortable, with an impending sense of being devoured. Apart from Xiaobai, no one could sleep.
An hour passed, and the pack of wolves did not make any moves. Suddenly, Wushuang became alert because two of the wild wolves turned their bodies as if to leave. The others remained still. Wushuang swiftly pulled out her throwing weapon gun and shot two iron darts into their throats, causing them to fall dead with a thud. She quickly said, "Don't use firearms; use hidden weapons."
Before she finished speaking, those wolves pounced over rapidly. With both hands gripping the wolf claws, Wushuang turned around and slammed them onto trees, tossing them until they were dead. Another one lunged forward, and she fired her throwing weapon gun to kill that wild wolf.
The wolves' attacks came fiercely and with incredible sharpness and ferocity.
Feng was the quickest in his reactions, using a silenced pistol where every shot went straight for the head. He quickly dispatched all the wolves.
They dragged the dead bodies of the wild wolves to one side. Yun had been injured by the wolf's claws, but it was just a superficial wound that wasn't serious. She asked Wushuang, "What happened just now"
"Wolves are pack animals; there must be hundreds here in this area. The two who left earlier were obviously going to alert others to come and attack us together. We can't let them do so or we'll be overwhelmed," explained Wushuang.
Yun nodded, feeling a bit unnerved by the thought.
These wolves were all huge and vicious; hundreds of them charging forward would definitely tear people to pieces. Wushuang sat down irritably and turned on her computer: "This isn't wolf territory, so why are there over ten wolves attacking us"
Moyao said, "Anything can happen in the jungle; just be more careful."
No Shuang removed the guard, or else a few people really wouldn't have slept. Feng Yun went to sleep in their sleeping bags; Mo Xiaobai fell asleep too, and Mo Yao carried him inside to sleep as well. It was cold outside, so No Shuang tied ropes between two trees by herself, guarded outside, and kept watch.
The dawn came slower than they expected. Such jungle nights were hard to endure; wolves howled in the distance while dangerous animals roamed nearby. Getting a good night's sleep was very difficult. As soon as it got light, everyone ate breakfast and set off without looking back at the dead wild wolf pack. The forest had plenty of sunlight during the day, which warmed up the entire place. No Shuang picked a very safe route that avoided places where venomous snakes and scorpions were common. They didn't encounter any danger for most of the morning until noon when they reached a small river. There were many rivers in the jungle; walking for a while would lead to another one. The water was still clean, so No Shuang checked the terrain and decided they needed to rest for a bit. What made them happiest was that there was signal...
The signal strength was quite good, and she finally managed to contact Mo Chen.
During this night, several incidents of federal agents and counter-terrorism forces intercepting drug deals from the mafia indeed occurred. Fortunately, after receiving a warning from Mo Yao, Mo Chen had evacuated early enough to avoid losses.
The internal system also faced attacks; however, with some technicians around, it didn't experience any major failures. Mo Yao was relieved and instructed Mo Chen to be extra cautious during this period because the more severe trials were yet to come. The mafia could not allow a situation similar to what happened with the first terrorist organization to occur again, or they would waste too much time rebuilding. He did not want to take that risk.
After discussing business matters, Mo Yao video-called Mo Chen and asked him, "What on earth is that thing"
"YWQ-221. Currently, it's just a code name because the person who developed it hasn't given it an official name yet. We were originally hoping for our first buyer to come up with one, but unexpectedly, counter-terrorism forces intercepted it in Berlin." Mo Chen said seriously, "Strictly speaking, this is a drug laced with viruses that can control someone's neural system, causing severe hallucinations and controlling their thoughts. Its purity is three or four times higher than the ice drugs sold on the market. As far as I know, this type of drug has not been circulated yet but only used internally. There was only one batch. How long ago did Xiao Bai get injected"
"More than fifteen doses," Mo Yao replied. "I asked Su Man about it; he said that after more than ten injections, the person is basically ruined. And you shouldn't try to help him detox because when it kicks in, just inject him again and make him calm down. From Mexico, we'll head straight to Riyadh. The plane is ready for departure two days from now at a pine forest northeast of the jungle."
No Shuang asked, "What does ruined mean"
Mo Chen said, "Su Man speaks like that; I don't know what he means, but Uncle Baiye looks very bad. When his expression is not good, it truly means there's a major issue."
Baiye was usually smiling all the time and rarely felt anxious or panicked over anything, except for when dealing with the first terrorist organization and the mafia...
Mo Yao looked down at Mo Xiaobai, feeling heartbroken.
Worse than detox, what is Little White enduring
Wolf knows that Muye's mind is solely focused on Little White and can't care about anything else. She could only ask, "Have the American forces withdrawn yet"
"No, actually there’s something strange going on. Our people lured them to the Mexican border but left after abandoning their plane. Logically speaking, if they escaped, they should have returned by now. However, they seem to be lingering around that area and waiting for something. I haven’t been able to track their movements yet. It's too risky to send planes out to search in the pine forest; I’m afraid it would expose your location… As for the exposure, when the anti-terrorists invaded our computers yesterday, they displayed your position. I think Thomas should know where you are by now. But since they haven’t turned back yet, perhaps they didn’t discover anything. Nevertheless, as a precautionary measure, you'll have to stay in the forest longer until the American forces withdraw. They’ll definitely send scouts along the way, so the forest is your safest bet."
Muye basically agreed with Mochen’s assessment. Wolf said, "That sounds fine then. We just need to wait for two more days. By the way, how long would it take to reach the pine forest from our current location"
"Under normal conditions, around eighteen hours," replied Mochen.
Wolf nodded and rubbed her forehead. "I suspect that this forest isn’t like before; we encountered a pack of wolves last night. I need a detailed map and weather forecast for the next four days."
Mochen nodded. "Four days"
"Considering we might have to stay in this cursed forest longer, don't underestimate the American forces," Wolf said. Mochen nodded and instructed his men accordingly. Wolf lay by the riverbank basking in the sun, patiently waiting for the information.
Mochen asked Muye, "I want to talk to him."
Muye remained expressionless. "So do I."
Mochen fell silent. Little White was sleeping soundly without any noise, which was abnormal; even if he were unconscious, the jolts should have woken him up by now. Yet there wasn’t a trace of him waking up. His limbs seemed to be soft and boneless, unable to stand or raise his hand. Except when he was suffering from withdrawal symptoms, at other times, he would just be like a limp noodle.ike this.Wenran kissed Ye Feimo to express her gratitude and then lectured him, "This shows that President Ye has good taste; you caught your wife as well as a money-making tree.
