Chapter 374: (EDT) Rescue Mission (5)
"B-Boss…" Alex smiled the moment he saw Zhang Qin Feng standing right in front of him. Unsure what kind of feeling he had inside him, teardrops were starting to roll on the corner of his eyes.
Alex had a mix of happiness, sadness, and other unexplainable emotions while looking at Zhang Qin Feng. The smile on his face can be said to be the ugliest one Zhang Qin Feng has ever seen, but also the most sincere smile in his eyes.
But with a limbless body with merely a torso and pelvic left, even replacing all his limbs with artificial prosthetics won't allow him to return to the service. If Zhang Qin Feng was cruel, saving Alex now is no different from torturing him even further.
"Don't save me, Boss. Please just kill me. I am no longer worthy to serve you." said Alex. He has no idea why he would feel this way. Perhaps it was the sense of inability, uselessness, and weakening body due to the Blood Petrification Disease he suffering.
His disinfected and sterilized wounds were already hardened to the state of concrete. Even if his torture stops, he won't be able to live more than another half a year.
"What sh*t are you trying to tell me to do now, Alex? I'm here to bring you out, and you want me to kill you instead? Had you defected to their side and decided to go against me?" Zhang Qin Feng flicked his finger at Alex's forehead.
"No, Boss… That's not my meaning…" Alex sounded like someone seeking death. Still, when Zhang Qin Feng questioned his loyalty, he immediately bounced back from the miserable state to clarify his dedication.
"Just rest. The day you return to the battlefield will be the day you repay all the suffering you face a hundredfold at them." Zhang Qin Feng said. After saying what he wanted to say, Zhang Qin Feng forced the packet of Supplement Drink into Alex before they made their way to the last room on the top floor.
This is the last room they'll be paying a visit to and the one with the highest level of security.
It was also where Satella was kept as a captive over here.
The battle started the moment Zhang Qin Feng and the others attempted to step on the third floor. Was it not because he's being cautious, his head would be blown into bits when he made his appearance.
"Boss!" the two soldiers moved forward with the Frost Curtain to take the brunt of the gunfire. But there was a limit on how much the defensive equipment could hold.
Forced to take cover from the fierce attack, Zhang Qin Feng and the others retaliates once in a while to exhaust his opponent's firepower. From what he can see, they'll be out of ammunition soon from firing nonstop.
He might teach them a lesson if he's not afraid that Satella could get caught in the crossfire.
About ten minutes of allowing Stein to work on the defensive system, the two turrets situated outside the holding cell were finally deactivated.
This drastic change weakened the defensive strength by half. Without the ferocity from the turrets to keep Zhang Qin Feng away, it took him less than five minutes to kill all the guards out here.
With no one else to stop Zhang Qin Feng, the two soldiers moved forward and breached the door into the holding cell.
'Stein, shutdown all the operating systems inside this facility except the lights.' Zhang Qin Feng said. Even if he didn't speak what he had in mind out loud, the hint of anger could be obviously felt from his words.
[Order executed. All system shutdown]
Stein simply replied before going silent. Even an emotionless system knows when and when not to talk. The others stayed outside the room because Satella was stark naked on the prisoner's cross to restrict her movement.
While there's no evident sign that she was sexually harassed by the people who captured her, she was obviously given a large dosage of suppressant. There is an unaccountable number of needle holes from her arms to her neck, her bum, and her spine.
In a way, Satella is no different from a test subject in their eyes.
[Toot… The individual called Satella was infected with Seed Crystal Virus. As a precaution based on the host's emotional level, Physique Serum is injected automatically]
[Toot… Steelskin's ability activated]
Stein reported in the lowest volume without disturbing Zhang Qin Feng.
"Satella…" Zhang Qin Feng hugged his woman the moment she was released from the prisoner's cross. But instead of receiving her gratitude, Zhang Qin Feng was bitten by her instead.
If he was looking at this from a conflicting point of view, Satella was the last point of their defense to take Wind Base Group out. She was purposely exposed to the Seed Crystal Virus to make this plan possible.
Those needle wounds on her are likely the Decrystallization Serum they administered to keep her from becoming a zombie.
"Boss!" the two soldiers had a conflicting feeling as they were unsure to either pointing their weapon on Satella or not. But luckily, Stein's decision was correct about injecting Zhang Qin Feng with the Physique Serum.
The Steelskin ability allowed him to stop Satella from wounding him. Instead of pushing her away, Zhang Qin Feng hugged her tightly in his embrace. The somewhat zombified Satella might have lost her reasoning. However, to their surprise, tears could still fall from the corner of her eyes as she fiercely attacked Zhang Qin Feng.
"I'm here to bring you home. You'll be fine, I promise." Zhang Qin Feng said. After allowing Satella to vent out all the anger in her, Zhang Qin Feng withdrew the Viral-Gene Immunity Serum out from his Dimensional Storage and injected it into her body.
Although it didn't bring Satella back to her sanity, her condition is in control, at least for now.
"Bzzt… Boss, we've got what we came for." a report came into his Luna Device.
"Good. Let's return to the port side and prepare to retreat. You're all allowed to use the Nightstalker if necessary. If the opportunity arises, fuck them all." Zhang Qin Feng said.
