Zhou Rong’s eyes reddened: “Si Nan is not…”
The old general roared: “Unless you convince him to have the surgery today to wash off the mark! Find a new one! And it must be from the military! If you meet these three conditions, I will send you to the canyon. I mean it!”
Zhou Rong stood stiffly for a long time, making the old general feel a glimmer of hope before he shook his head and refused: “No… no.”
The old general deflated: “Then stop talking nonsense and get out.”
But Zhou Rong did not leave, staring down General Zheng: “Si Nan can join the rescue team and act together.”
“Are you crazy?!”
“No.” Zhou Rong spoke slowly and decisively: “Si Nan is not a burden. He has always been a member of 118.”
He went deep into the underground military area with us, rescued civilians along the way, and risked his life to protect his comrades countless times. Without him, we would have been wiped out several times. Si Nan has the ability. He was never a weak person to be protected in the rear, but a comrade who can fight side by side!
“No!” The old general almost roared: “Stop talking! We still need the ultimate antibody if something happens. I cannot allow the antibody carrier to be in any danger!”
Zhou Rong asked: “What else could go wrong?!”
“Plenty! What if the ultimate antibody is not in the valley? What if it never existed in the first place?!”
Zhou Rong stared at the old general in shock, as if looking at a monster.
General Zheng took a deep breath, barely recovering his composure: “No need to waste time, Colonel Zhou. The last batch of rescue teams will take off at 23:00 tonight. I wish your team members… no, I wish all the Black Hawk squad soldiers to survive.”
Still angry, General Zheng bypassed the stiff Zhou Rong, opened the door, and walked out of the conference room.
A moment later, the laboratory door clicked open.
Si Nan turned his face and saw Ning Yu removing his mask: “Why are you here? Why didn’t you knock? I only noticed you when I turned around.”
Si Nan said nothing, slowly turning around.
Ning Yu looked him up and down. “…What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing, move aside.”
Ning Yu blocked the laboratory door: “What exactly are you here for?”
