Chapter 1966: The Shadow That Shrouded the World
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was past four in the morning, and the sky was already bright.

Lin Yi was still sitting on the bed, motionless.

Outside the window, the sound of car engines could already be heard. Even the pedestrians and noise in the hospital gradually increased.

Lin Yi thought that the best time for them to strike was between two and three in the morning, but there was no movement at all.

He had miscalculated again.

At this moment, the door to the ICU was pushed open and Ning Che walked in.

Even though her nurse’s uniform which looked one size smaller on her body would make one want to move, at this moment, she seemed to lack all desire.

At this moment, Ning Che’s expression was exceptionally serious. She was no longer as relaxed as before.

“Nothing yet?” Lin Yi asked.

Ning Che shook his head and said gloomily.

“Yuluo has already planted spies in various parts of the hospital, but she hasn’t found anyone suspicious. I am even thinking that they might not come at all.”

“They did so much in order to take back the C-class serum. It’s unlikely that they wouldn’t do anything after that.”

Lin Yi looked at his watch and insisted.

“Let’s wait a little longer. If no one appears before eight o’clock, our guess might be wrong.”

“We looked at it the same way, but there’s another possibility.” Ning Che said.

“In order to make things realistic, we planted our people outside. The other party might think they didn’t stand a chance, so they didn’t make a move. But in an hour or two, there will be more and more people in the hospital. They will likely take advantage of the chaos.”

Lin Yi was silent for a moment. “Your guess seems even more unlikely.”

“Do you have other ideas?”

“I just realized a problem,” Lin Yi said seriously.

“The purpose of them coming here is not to kill me, but to take me away. It would not be easy to take me away under heavy guard. The other party would naturally realize this. It’s unlikely that they would just barge in. Instead, they might redirect their energy elsewhere.”

“Are these people monkeys? Their insight is actually so strong!”

Lin Yi felt the same way. It felt like a game of cat and mouse.

However, the identities of both sides were often swapped.

Sometimes, he was a cat.

Sometimes, the other party would turn into a cat and take the initiative.

Just like now.

It was precisely this confrontation that made Lin Yi feel like he was walking on a tightrope.

It was quite exciting.

“No matter what, they have mastered making the C-class serum. They’d be much stronger than Black Gold and Black Snake.

“According to what you said, if they don’t dare to break in, we’ll have to lure them in.”

“That’s right, but luring them in requires a strategy,” Lin Yi said.

“Now, we proceed step by step. Arrange for an ambulance to take me away later. According to the rules, a dead body cannot stay in the hospital for too long.”

“What? You need an ambulance?”

“This is our best chance to take the initiative,” Lin Yi said.

“My current value is entirely in experimental research. They will try to stop the Central Guards Brigade as much as possible. If they don’t act today, they might not have another chance. So, the likelihood of them acting within the next few hours is highest since it’ll be their best chance to take the initiative.”

“An ambulance is easy to arrange, but we’ll need to contact the crematorium to cooperate with us.”

“What kind of intelligence is that?” Lin Yi said disdainfully.

“I’ve already said, my value lies in research. If they send me to the crematorium, there would be nothing left to research.”

“Oh, why are you blaming me? People always say that big breasts mean no brains. Maybe mine are too big, so my IQ is not enough,” Ning Che said coquettishly.

“But I do want the lab to study why you’re so capable, tossing around all night and still having energy.”

Lin Yi, “…”

“Use your brain a little.”

“Hehe…” Ning Che said.

“I’ll go arrange the ambulance now. Everything will follow the normal procedure. But where will we go if not the crematorium?”

“To the military airport.”

“I understand your intention,” Ning Che said, turning to leave. “You rest up and wait for our news.”

“Okay.”

After discussing the strategy again, Ning Che left.

Lin Yi sat on the bed, expressionless. This incident made him feel a bit nervous.

Whoever planned this operation did not have the ability to develop the C-class serum.

Undoubtedly, the person behind the scenes commanding everything must be a global organization.

And Lin Yi was only dealing with a pawn sent by the other side.

But even just a pawn had made the Central Guards Brigade so tense, which made Lin Yi uneasy.

He felt that, even as part of the Central Guards Brigade, he was like a small boat in the dark sea, always at risk of being swallowed by towering waves!

Involuntarily, Lin Yi linked the mastermind behind the scenes to the Mamon organization.

Song Jinmin once said that Mamon was an evil organization.

Their purpose was to change the world while conducting various crazy experiments.

The C-class serum might be one of them.

So, was there an inevitable connection between the developers of the C-class serum and the Mamon organization?

Or were they the initiators of this matter?

This series of mysteries made Lin Yi feel overwhelmed.

It was like a tangled ball of yarn with no clues.

Time passed second by second. At around six in the morning, Lin Yi’s phone received a message from Ning Che.

In ten minutes, the operation would begin.

…

At the entrance of the first inpatient department of Huashan Hospital, a brand-new ambulance was parked in the center, seemingly waiting for something.

A middle-aged man wearing a blue mask stood at the entrance, looking inside, as if waiting for something.

The middle-aged man’s name was Yang Feng, a driver for the emergency center of Huashan Hospital.

He had been working here for over twenty years and was the best driver at the hospital.

Half an hour ago, the director of the emergency center called him to the office and told him to stay at the entrance to transport an important person.

As a task personally assigned by the director, Yang Feng didn’t dare to neglect it and had been standing here for over half an hour.

“Wang, Director Ma is calling for you.”

While Yang Feng was looking inside, he suddenly saw a nurse calling him.

Yang Feng glanced at the speaking nurse, finding her a bit unfamiliar.

But with so many nurses in the hospital, he couldn’t possibly know them all, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Director Ma is looking for me?”

The Director Ma they mentioned was the head of the emergency center, responsible for everything in the center.

“But I have work here, I can’t leave,” Yang Feng said puzzled.
