Chapter 626 - 626 627 Let Them Come

Chapter 626: Chapter 627 Let Them Come! Chapter 626: Chapter 627 Let Them Come! While Su Shu was in City C, trying to figure out how to disguise the absence of the laboratory, Tang Zelin, far away in the cold lands of the border, lay in the medical center behind the front line, his face grave.

“I say, old Tang, you really think you’re the god of war, or did King Yama give you a life you’re not afraid to lose? What place won’t you charge into?”

Qu Guo’an, Tang Zelin’s old partner who had followed the troops to the front line, had felt his heart been shattered into pieces when Tang Zelin was carried out of a bombarded wasteland, and it hadn’t healed to this day.

Having been partners with Tang Zelin for a long time truly turned one’s heart into iron.

Tang Zelin lay on the sickbed, his unrestrained right arm folded behind his head.

“How’s Yao Ke?”

“Still unconscious, under constant care.”

At the mention of Yao Ke, Qu Guo’an’s tone sank a bit, and he let out a long sigh.

A few days earlier, after the higher-ups had issued the full-scale destruction order, they had mobilized forces from all sides to concentrate there.

At that time, Tang Zelin and other Special Combat Team members realized that the higher-ups had been prepared for the Northern Border’s experimental base for a while, yet for some special reason, they hadn’t completely attacked it at the very beginning, instead deploying most of the military force to hold the line.

However, ever since the news of the Alien Humanoids’ mutation was reported, the orders that came down were fast and ruthless.

In just two days, the entire base, with joint strikes by two countries, was razed to the ground.

In the final critical moment, Yao Ke’s Wild Wolf got trapped during a mission, and without a second word, Tang Zelin, who had split forces in two, turned and charged in.

Even the men he led hadn’t reacted before Tang Zelin had disappeared from sight.

When the roaring of cannon fire suddenly erupted, Qu Guo’an felt as if his heart had exploded.

As the smoke of the gunpowder gradually faded, everyone watched with their own eyes as Tang Zelin, covered in blood, dragged Yao Ke out of the rubble.

That moment stunned the entire Northern Border’s stationed troops!

This heartbreaking battle cost the Wild Wolf a third of its strength, and Yao Ke, the team leader, remained unconscious and still in critical condition.

The other members of the Wild Wolf who had survived, while being questioned in a related investigation, all said that if Tang Zelin hadn’t charged over to lead them to safety, perhaps the remaining two-thirds would have died there too.

Such explanations could not satisfy the investigation team.

Qu Guo’an, worried for Tang Zelin, sat beside him, offering a well-meant warning.

“You just woke up by a stroke of luck, and they don’t even consider your condition—they actually want to investigate you.”

“Let them investigate then, it’s not like I haven’t been investigated before,” Tang Zelin scoffed, “I damn well want to investigate who gave the orders. All the squads had pulled out, did they not know the Wild Wolf was still covering the rear? They knew our people might sacrifice; why didn’t they wait for the evacuation before attacking? It was just a matter of time, wasn’t it?”

Qu Guo’an raised an eyebrow: “What are you planning to do? Don’t get muddled at a time like this! Focus on healing your wounds, that’s what’s important.”

Tang Zelin pursed his lips and said nothing.

Knowing he couldn’t dissuade him, Qu Guo’an sighed, his gaze shifting downward to the legs and his brow furrowing slightly.

“Still no feeling?”

Tang Zelin shook his head, his tone light, “No big deal, I won’t die.”

“You won’t die for sure, but what about your legs being injured? How will you manage? Su Shu will be worried sick about you. Tomorrow they’re flying you back, so don’t be bull-headed at this time, just go back and get your legs treated first.”

Tang Zelin thought for a moment, “What about Yao Ke?”

“He’ll return a few days after you. We’ll see if his condition allows him to be transferred.”

“Then you go back on my behalf, I’ll wait here for him to wake up.”

“Old Tang! Don’t be foolish!”

“Let them come and investigate, it’s fine, I really want to know what they are looking to find out,” Tang Zelin said sternly.
