Chapter 1329: Yuan Tianxing Wakes Up

Yuan Tianxing remembered going into the underground gorillas’ cave to explore the underground world. In order to save the others, he let the water from the river there pour on himself. He clearly remembered the burning pain he suffered back then, feeling as if his entire body were going to melt. He remembered losing consciousness on his way out. As for how he returned to the base, he didn’t recall that.

Where was he now?

His body gave him a weird feeling after he sat up, having to spend a great effort merely to do so. He got off the bed, feeling weakness in both his legs. But thankfully, he could still stand up.

After spending a short while standing there, he took a deep breath and walked toward the window. Holding the window frame, he looked outside and found the place looking a bit familiar. He turned his eyes from side to side and then confirmed that the place was inside Lin Qiao’s space. He recognized that quiet lake, the large vegetable field near it, and the boundless grassland on the other side of the lake, as well as the white fog in the sky.

A twitching pain suddenly rose from his shoulder. He raised a hand to cover it in response as he sighed with relief. He figured that Lin Qiao had brought him into her space and probably given him some kind of treatment. Otherwise, he might have never woken back up.

He turned and pulled his shirt downward to check the wound on his shoulder. Then, he slowly moved back to the bed and sat down. He didn’t only feel weak, but also felt that his brain was completely empty. He couldn’t feel his superpower energy at all.

He had no idea what had happened to him, but he was apparently left with a sequela of whatever it was. Fortunately, he survived nonetheless. Becoming weak didn’t make him all that sad.

Li Hongsheng, Fang Datong and the others who were thrown into the space earlier by Lin Qiao sensed Yuan Tianxing’s vibe and ran up to the house he was in.

“Did Deputy Chief Yuan wake up?” Feng Yuming raised his head and glanced at the window on the second floor as he walked into the house while speaking.

“He woke up! He woke up! I saw him standing by the window just now!” Fang Datong said affirmatively while walked toward the stairs in big steps.

The others immediately swarmed upstairs. In no time, they rushed to Yuan Tianxing’s door.

Yuan Tianxing took some rest sitting on the bed when he heard a series of footsteps coming closer, seemingly toward his room. Before he was sure, his door was pushed open.

“Deputy Chief!” the group of people crowded in and popped their eyes as they stared at Yuan Tianxing.

“Hey, guys…” Yuan Tianxing raised a hand slightly to greet them and said with a weak voice, “Good to see you here. Tell me what’s happening now. Did Chief cure me?”

Feng Mingyu and the others entered the room to see Yuan Tianxing with his arms on both sides of his body to support himself. Sitting straight seemed to be a difficult thing for him. Seeing that, Feng Mingyu walked over and helped him to lean on the headboard before putting a pillow behind his waist.

Yuan Tianxing found a comfortable posture as he looked at the others and asked them, “Why are you all here?”

Shouldn’t they be in the base doing their work? Li Zheng and Duan Juan were absent, but all people under their direct command had gathered in Lin Qiao’s space. Clearly, something was happening.

“Deputy Chief, how do you feel now?” Lin Yu and the others didn’t answer his question immediately but asked how he felt with concern.

“I’m good. I just feel weak, but nothing else apart from that. Answer my question first. Did Chief cure me? Why are you guys all in this place?” Yuan Tianxing looked at them and repeated his questions.

Those people glanced at each other, and Feng Yuming couldn’t help but start talking, “Well, if you want to know who cured you, it was Chief indeed. But, the essential medicine which saved your life was brought to you by Wenwen. Without that, not even Chief could save you. I heard that Chief was only able to stabilize your condition but not wake you up.”

“So, the main credit should be given to Wenwen! Deputy Chief, you now owe her a life! How do you plan to pay her back for that?” Lin Yu leaned toward Yuan Tianxing and said with a meaningful smile.

“What? Wenwen is back? When did she come back? Do you guys know where had she been?” On hearing that Lin Wenwen was back, Yuan Tianxing looked at those people with surprise. Then, he added with curiosity, “What did she bring back?”

Lin Wenwen came home while he was in a coma. He wasn’t expecting to wake up to hear that good news.

“We don’t know what exactly it was. As far as we know, she brought back some kind of plant, which is very important. It was highly helpful for your condition. Chief will give you the details, but she’s in the middle of something right now,” Li Hongsheng stood said from the side.

Those people didn’t know much about what had happened to Lin Wenwen, as their positions only allowed them to know some superficial things. However, their bosses—Duan Juan and Li Zheng—should know everything.

“Really? I do need to find out the details. I could never think Wenwen would be the one to save my life. Lin Yu is right, I do owe her a life.” Yuan Tianxing was surprised to know that Lin Wenwen also took part in saving his life. He now owed it to both her and her sister.

Lin Qiao had saved his life more than once, and he couldn’t possibly clear that debt. After all, he and Lin Qiao had been comrades for over ten years. It was the first time for him to be saved by Lin Wenwen though.

“We are now very deep underground, at least ten-thousand meters deep. We came down together with Chief. We’ve found a huge, mysterious underground space down here. We are too weak, so Chief threw us in here, in case we end up hindering the others,” Lin Yu finally answered Yuan Tianxing’s second question.

On hearing that, Yuan Tianxing realized that the people in his room were all at level three or four. Their bosses, Li Zheng and Duan Juan, were both absent.

That was a lot of information. Yuan Tianxing paused for a few seconds to process it and said, “Did you say that Chief brought you guys over ten-thousand meters deep underground? Who else did she bring with her?”

“Just our squad and Captain Duan’s squad. We’re the only human members of the team. The rest of the team are all from Chief’s secret army, including Deputy Head Xie. Apart from us, all the others in the team are at levels five and six.” Lin Yu glanced at the others. As they all stayed silent, he answered the question.
