Chapter 223 - Backup
Hearing the sound, the 3 nurses and doctor rushed out from the last cubicle. They tied the man and locked him inside the cubicle. The doctor even picked up a stick to knock the man unconscious. "Don't look at me like that. I specialize in cardio-cerebrovascular study. I promise you he'll wake up in another half an hour."
Mo Li and the rest were relieved. Those stints in movies where people would faint after being hit on the back of the head were not true. If one didn't gauge their force, the hit might claim the target's life!
"We should return to our room. There is one more person looking for us. It's safer for us to be back in our room where he has already searched." Mo Li took a look outside, there was no one around so she quickly led her team back to the dorm. When they arrived, they saw that both the male and female dorms had been ransacked.. The place looked harrowing.
Mo Li discovered that the man had picked up antibiotics and hallucinogenic drugs. That suggested that one of the 2 men was a drug addict. The man whom they assaulted in the toilet didn't look like a drug user so the user should be the other one. This was good news because a drug addict would be easier to deal with. The youngest nurse was heartbroken taking in the mess. They carried these medical supply all the way from Pearl River and they were all ruined.
"We need to find a way to meet up with the soldiers. But we need to be careful of the other criminals." Mo Li didn't forget about the other criminals who had been sent to distract the soldiers.
"Doctor Mo!" Just as Mo Li was calculating the escape route, a voice called out. It was the young soldier called Zhen Kai. "What are you all doing here? It's chaos everywhere. The leader told me to bring you away from here and then we'll come back after my comrades have dealt with the threat."
Mo Li looked at Zhen Kai and believed his leader didn't tell him the whole story. If they left with Zhen Kai, the criminals would quickly abandon their attack of the border station and chase after Mo Li's team instead.
"Their goal is not the station." Qin Xuan was agitated. He couldn't believe that the soldier was actually telling them to leave the station, that was no different from telling them to go die!
"What do you mean?" Zhen Kai frowned. It was obvious that he did not have a good impression of Qin Xuan.
"During the gunfight, you should have noticed that the criminals didn't really intend to kill. Earlier 2 of them just broke into our dorm. They snatched away a batch of antibiotics, some daily medication, needles, saline and other things." The young nurses hurriedly explained before the two men got into a fight.
Zhen Kai frowned. Earlier, he did notice that his leader didn't really fight back with all his strength. Plus his gaze kept wandering over to the ship.
Looking out the window, Mo Li was sure that there had to be someone important to the terrorists on the ship or else they wouldn't have taken such a big risk to ambush the station in broad daylight.
"Get down!" Zhen Kai pounced on Mo Li and knocked her to the ground. There was a menacing man who had appeared from the corner of the dorm. Before the man could fire his gun, there was a muffled pop. To everyone's surprise, the man suddenly tipped over and fell to the ground.
Mo Li poked his head out from Zhen Kai's embrace and saw Ah Si's familiar face. "Miss Mo Li, are you alright?" Ah Si quickly walked over and pulled Mo Li out from Zhen Kai's arms. If their young master was here, the young soldier would be dead.
Ah Si was honestly quite handsome. The other nurses couldn't help but wonder if he was Mo Li's sweetheart based on the way he acted around her.
"Ah Si? Why are you here?" Mo Li was shocked. She didn't expect to meet Ah Si, much less for him to save her life.
"Young master..." Ah Si wanted to ask Mo Li if Quan Yu was around. But he looked at the surroundings and swallowed the question. Clearly Quan Yu was not around or else he'd be found near Mo Li. Ah Si was thankful that he had arrived just in time. If Mo Li was injured, his young master would probably level the entire Yun Quan.
"By the way who are these people? They are weaker than I expected." Ah Si squatted on the ground and patted the face of the person who had been knocked unconscious by him earlier. Ah Si had not seen this man before.
At that moment, everyone realized that the gunshots had stopped. They stood up in relief. They looked out into the yard and the 4 other criminals were surrounded by men dressed similarly as Ah Si.
At the same time, Leader Gao ordered his men to infiltrate the ship to capture the rest of the criminals.
