Time flew by unnoticed, and before they knew it, the 7th day had arrived.
Qin Lu assured Li Yuan and the others that Nan Yan was safe, and he coordinated with them to facilitate his extraction in accordance with Nan Yan’s Plan.
With the arrangements in place, Qin Lu entrusted a communication device to Nan Yan, enabling her to reach out to the outside world when she was ready to make her escape.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan and others had already orchestrated a bombing of the underground base entrance to facilitate Qin Lu’s extraction, alerting Nolan and the Seven Deadly Sins operatives.
After emerging from the underground base, Qin Lu’s body began to weaken gradually. The bone reduction technique used on him by Hua Shifang started to lose its effect.
The height that had been forcibly compressed began to release, but in exchange, there came a soreness and pain from between the bones.
Even though Qin Lu had mentally prepared himself, the physical weakness exceeded his expectations. Almost immediately after it started to wear off, he lost his balance, swaying and eventually kneeling on the ground.
In the next moment, heavy amounts of cold sweat poured out, quickly soaking his clothes, with the sweat from his forehead dripping down his face. He tried to stand up, but it took two falls before he managed to rise, supporting himself on the ground.
Footsteps sounded behind him. It was likely Nolan who had noticed his disappearance and guessed that he and Li Yuan were collaborating, intending to capture him.
Qin Lu’s eyes darkened, as he endured the weakness and pain coursing through his body, struggling to move forward and find a place to hide.
“He won’t go too far. Expand the search area!” Chapman’s cold voice echoed from nearby.
Qin Lu leaned against the wall, his body sliding down due to fatigue. This wouldn’t do; he couldn’t move. And the people who were supposed to assist him had no idea where he was.
He had given the only communication device to Nan Yan, so now he had to rely on their tacit understanding to see if they could find him before Chapman did.
Chapman’s men spread out, rapidly searching the surroundings. Qin Lu leaned against the wall, slowly closing his eyes. He needed to conserve his energy, waiting for an opportunity to strike back.
As time passed, footsteps came and went, some moving farther away, while others drew closer. Perhaps they assumed he had left the base quickly after escaping, so for the time being, no one came to search this area.
Adapting to this sense of powerlessness, Qin Lu’s breathing gradually became steady. If it weren’t for the continuous cold sweat on his forehead, outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell the extent of his current suffering.
Someone was approaching!
