Fu Zhou suburbs.
In a car on a small road in the wilderness.
"Boss, there seems to be a checkpoint in front!" The State Security officer driving said.
Di Shun immediately covered his phone. "Go around it. Don't let them see us!"
That State Security officer nodded. "I will try my best. I will use another route to get out!"
Di Shun said. "Alright. Drop Manager Zhang off halfway. Don't follow us to avoid danger!" Di Shun turned to Zhang Longjuan. "Manager Zhang, you should alight first. Those soldiers are all dead, and you are not exposed. With your identity, there should be no problem."
Zhang Longjuan looked at them. "What about you all?"
"We have our ways." Di Shun replied.
"Alright." Zhang Longjuan did not reject. "But you all must inform me about Xiao Dong and the research institute. I want to know the latest news."
"No problem." Di Shun promised.
"Then be careful!" Zhang Longjuan said.
"Ok. Be careful too!" Di Shun said. "Stop the car in front!"
The car stopped near a farm, and Zhang Longjuan alighted slowly. She took out her phone and made a call. She seems to be asking someone to pick her up.
The car continued to move forward.
Actually, they are out of danger now.
Di Shun picked up the phone again and said to the person who did not hang up. "Leader, we should be safe now."
The middle-aged man on the other end nodded. "No matter who that person is, find a safe place to hide and wait for orders."
"Ok. We understand." Di Shun said.
"Be careful. Safety first!"
"Yes. But the research institute …"
"We have alerted them. Let's put this aside for now. It's useless to act now. They will surely increase the security and garrison."
"But that comrade who saved us …"
"I don't know who he is, but he is definitely not from State Security, the military, or the Ministry of Public Security. He should not expose himself and won't implicate others. Let him go."
"But …"
"He will surely die if he goes alone. You all will not be able to help him. If you all are controlled, you will implicate the other comrades in Fu State. Do I need to remind you?"
"… I know."
"That's it. Carry out my orders!"
"Alright, I'll report to you if there's any news!"
After hanging up, Di Shun sighed. He felt sorry for Xiao Dong. He had wanted to get some help from the higher-ups to take action at the research facility to relieve some pressure on Xiao Dong. But the higher-ups had given up on Xiao Dong and did not allow them to do anything. Di Shun could not do anything about this and could only carry out the higher-ups' orders. Although he was grateful to Xiao Dong for saving his life, he was sent to Fu Zhou to oversee the overall situation and had to be responsible for his comrades in Fu Zhou.
Sorry!
Di Shun told Xiao Dong in his heart.
Both he and Old Hong knew Dong Xuebing will be in danger. Even if Dong Xuebing is strong, it's hard for him to fight against so many soldiers and guns. How can he save them alone? He might not even be able to enter the research institute!
But they don't know Dong Xuebing has his own methods.
…
Outside the research institute.
In a patch of grass.
Dong Xuebing looked at the building from afar and squatted in the bushes to light a cigarette. He played with the pistol in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
The entire area around the research institute was on full alert.
Military vehicles and soldiers patrolled the area one after another.
From the looks of it, there were a few dozen soldiers from the M Country. Who knows how many more soldiers were hiding inside the research facility. With this formation, even if Dong Xuebing rushed in … it was impossible. The bullets could drown him, and there was no way he could dodge them. Even the main door of the research facility was tightly shut. Looking at the thickness of the steel bars, it would take a rocket to blast it open. This was also an obstacle that Dong Xuebing could not overcome. Everything told him that ordinary people would not be able to enter this research facility!
But Dong Xuebing is Dong Xuebing.
His combat power is not something ordinary people can imagine.
Dong Xuebing looked at his remaining time. He only has 1 hour and 5 minutes left. He nodded. This is considered enough.
Dong Xuebing is not in a hurry. He smoked his cigarette and waited at a distance.
1 minute … …
2 minutes … …
3 minutes … …
There are vehicles patrolling the area around the research institute.
Dong Xuebing frowned. His location is not good, and he was thinking if he should move to another place to hide. But the next moment, he saw the research institute's main door open, and about 7 to 8 fully armed soldiers walk out. The leader of the soldiers said something, and the rest of them boarded two empty military jeeps not far away. The main door slowly closed.
Now!
STOP！
… …
Time stopped!
Everything stopped!
Dong Xuebing stood up from the bushes and tightened his grip on his gun and equipment. To save time, he jogged towards that direction. Even the sunlight and wind had stopped, and no one can move or think under the effect of STOP. That's why Dong Xuebing did not have any scruples.
100 meters … …
200 meters … …
500 meters … …
Dong Xuebing arrived, and there are many military vehicles and soldiers around him.
The soldiers stood there with stiff expressions. It was quiet all around, not a single sound could be heard.
Dong Xuebing walked past a few soldiers and saw the research facility's main gate, which is about to close. It's locked with a password, and there are no windows in the surrounding buildings. That's why no one can enter the facility after the gate is closed. But time had stopped, and this is not a problem for Dong Xuebing. He quickly squeezed in.
It's all white.
The corridor is very clean.
Dong Xuebing looked at the staff in their work attire and looked at the security camera at the entrance. He subconsciously pulled his sunglasses closer and walked towards the entrance.
There is a staircase a few meters away.
Dong Xuebing walked up the stairs to the second floor.
This place is filled with rooms, and there is an office area at the furthest end. Maybe this building is not used for research and is only an office. Dong Xuebing noticed there are no surveillance cameras on this floor. Dong Xuebing looked around and knew he should not waste too much time. So, he stopped using STOP.
… …
Time resumed!
There is a lot of noise!
Dong Xuebing stood on the second floor and continued to walk up. Based on his observations from outside, he did not know where Zhong Lizhen is.
What should I do?
Look for her one by one?
If that's the case, he would have been exposed, and he does not have enough time. Some of the offices and offices are locked with a password, and Dong Xuebing can't even enter them. He cannot continue to search aimlessly, or he might not find her even if he searched for the whole day.
Fine.
Let's ask someone.
As Dong Xuebing was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
Dong Xuebing squatted down and leaned against the staircase.
The person walking down from upstairs is a research institute's staff in work attire. He looks like a Merican, as Dong Xuebing does not recognize Westerners. When that staff saw Dong Xuebing in a daze, Dong Xuebing had already moved closer to him. He flicked his wrist, and a military pistol appeared in his hand. Dong Xuebing pointed the pistol at that staff member's head.
That staff was about to scream for help.
"Shut up!" Dong Xuebing shouted in English. "You can try screaming if you want your head to explode!"
Dong Xuebing's English is not good, but he knows that staff can understand what he said. That staff immediately shut up.
Dong Xuebing looks at that staff and asked. "I am asking you. Where is Zhong Lizhen?"
That staff shook his head, indicating that he does not know.
Dong Xuebing calmly asked. "I am asking the last question. Where is Zhong Lizhen?"
That staff shook his head again, but before he could shake his head again, Dong Xuebing pressed the barrel of his gun and fired at that staff's shoulder!
That staff screamed in pain and fell to the ground. "Argh!!!"
This movement immediately caused an uproar in the research institute!
"What's going on?"
"Why is there a gunshot?"
"Is it from inside? How can this be?! "
Dong Xuebing did not mind and continued to look at that staff. "Fine. I will ask you again. Where is Zhong Lizhen?"
That staff panicked and pointed upstairs. "Professor Zhong is on the sixth floor, West! Isolation room 1! "
"Alright. Follow me there. If the location is not right, I'm sorry." Dong Xuebing grabbed that staff member's collar and pulled him up.
That staff member took a deep breath and covered his bleeding shoulder. "It's really there!"
"Are you sure?"
"I swear!"
Dong Xuebing heard hurried footsteps behind him and heard the sound of soldiers' boots landing on the ground. He did not mind and looked at his eyes for a few seconds to make sure he is not lying before letting go of him. He closed his eyes and chanted in his heart.
BACK 2 minutes!
… …
… …
Dong Xuebing's vision blurred, and he felt dizzy.
When Dong Xuebing opened his eyes again, he had returned to two minutes ago.
At this time, Dong Xuebing had not attracted anyone's attention. There were no gunshots, panic, or soldiers rushing over. Dong Xuebing stood quietly in the corridor between the second and third floors, and he heard footsteps above him. It was that staff member walking down slowly.
Sixth floor?
Isolation room 1?
Dong Xuebing nodded in his heart. STOP!
He stopped time once more, took a step forward, and quietly went up the stairs!
