Chapter 240: If I May Be So Bold as to Ask a Favor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:

Relying on his own self-healing capabilities as well as the effects of Qin Lao’s medicine, the wounds on Bai Wu’s body were not as mangled and mutilated as they were before. However, a week had passed and Bai Wu still did not show any sign of regaining consciousness.

Xu Lan was an atheist who never believed in Gods or spirits, but at that time, he turned to the heavens and prayed that Bai Wu would wake up again. All his basic needs seemed to be met inside the laboratory, and he had no intention of leaving the place. The blood vessels in his eyes dilated as a result of his refusal to sleep since he feared that Bai Wu would disappear silently once he closed his eyes. Xu Lan was visibly becoming thin, and Qin Lao simply shook his head at Xu Lan’s continual wasting away.

“Qin Lao! Can you do some research on Bai Wu’s constitution and create a weapon that can hold its own against their own kind?” Xu Lan’s forefinger and middle finger were stained with tobacco. Immersing himself in the choking smoke seemed to be the only way he could acquire some peace of mind. Dark circles surrounded his eyes while his face was adorned with stubble. His lack of care toward his own appearance made him look like a beggar, and when he frigidly posed his question, his voice was husky from all the smoking.

Whenever Xu Lan maintained his composure, he was kneading the handkerchief in his pants pocket. It was Bai Wu who washed it previously. Xu Lan was still able to sleep for the first few days by holding on to the handkerchief, but once it was stained by the stubborn and acrid smell of smoke, he could no longer fall asleep.

“What kind of weapon?” Qin Lao massaged his temples in exhaustion and asked.

“Whatever! With gunpowder, without gunpowder, biological weapons! I want them dead!”

Xu Lan’s teeth were chattering as he uttered his sentence. The hand that held his ‘Yunyan Special’ was unable to properly direct the lit cigarette to his mouth. Xu Lan felt as though his heart exploded whenever he thought of Qiao Yi commanding a group of mutated warrior dragons to find Bai Wu. The blood in his veins was surging with pure anger. Perhaps as a result of being with Bai Wu for too long, Xu Lan was producing unopposable energy when he spoke, and everyone in the laboratory felt its pressure.

Snap! Liang Yu was making notes when his pencil broke in half. Even though Bai Wu’s external injuries showed signs of improvement, his internal functions showed none. On the contrary, it deteriorated to the point where the machine failed to even detect anything!

“No. I cannot do that.” Qin Lao placed both hands on his walking stick and declined regretfully.

Xu Lan lifted his head up abruptly and stared at Qin Lao with bloodshot eyes. At that precise moment, Qin Lao did not dare to move. He felt as though a giant python was firmly biting onto him. An intense feeling of dread began surfacing from the bottom of his heart and it crept up his backbone, causing drips of cold sweat to form.

“He’ll wake up!” Liang Yu remarked. He closed his notebook and poured a glass of hot water for Qin Lao.

“Heh. You said that a week ago. You said the same thing four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, and now? When the hell is he going to wake up?” Xu Lan sneered. The corner of his eyes became moist all of a sudden.

“...” The unexpected silence in the atmosphere was a very terrifying thing, for therein contained a stream of endless possibilities, though sometimes there would only be one answer.

Xu Lan received a call from Xiao Feng, who explained that there were new developments in the case. He hoped that Xu Lan would come, noting that there was a real possibility of apprehending the suspect.

“Xiao Xu, where have you disappeared to for such a long time? Did something happen? Is it okay if you came?” Wang Meng grabbed the phone from Xiao Feng and asked worriedly.

“I can come. I’ll be there soon.” Xu Lan’s thumb gently rubbed the laboratory’s special frosted glass. A blur was all he saw. He gnashed his teeth immediately, and fresh blood began dripping from the corner of his lips.

If Bai Wu... Xu Lan would surely grab a cannon and bomb the whole lot of those dog b*stards. Only then would he leave! He could only feel at ease by participating in the investigation and solving the case once and for all.
