Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Kate's help and Negotiation
"What am I looking at her like this? I\'m already a married man... Kate is just a friend. I need to calm down."
Xiaoyun\'s face blushed a little as he quickly turned his head to the side, avoiding eye contact with Kate.
"I\'m going to need to remove the bandage... Can you make a bottle of water and a med kit?"
Xiaoyun nodded in agreement as the item appeared in his hand, putting it on the tabletop for Kate to use.
With everything ready, Kate started unwrapping the bloody bandages one by one, revealing the wound underneath the pants\' stab hole.
"So much blood..." Kate murmured as she threw it onto the floor.
After the bandages were removed, blood immediately started spewing out, but Kate didn\'t try to stop it as she moved her hand to pull Xiaoyun\'s pants all the way down to his knee.
Kate panicked for a second when the pants got stuck in Xiaoyun\'s shoe, but she quickly calmed down and bent forward to take his shoes off.
However, she doesn\'t notice her actions make Xiaoyun even more turned on, as her thighs are now right in his face.
With the shoe removed, Kate was finally able to remove Xiaoyun\'s pants and started opening the med kit on the tabletop.
After finding some tools for stitches, Kate moved back to the bedside and started wiping area the wound with a wet towel.
"Ouch..."
Xiaoyun grunted in pain as Kate touched the wound directly with the towel, but Kate ignored the sound as she began stitching up the wound.
"Stop moving, or else I\'m going to mess it up... I haven\'t done this in a while."
Kate\'s warning instantly made Xiaoyun stop, not moving a single inch as his body remained completely still.
With blood flow drastically reduced, Kate wiped the wounded area once again before wrapping fresh bandages over his thighs.
"Okay, do you want me to, um... remove your underwear?" Kate asked as she noticed the blood stains all over the boxers.
"No need."
As Kate went over to grab a new pair of pants for Xiaoyun, she noticed that the bulge had gotten even bigger.
"Are you sure you don\'t need me to? It\'s going to be a long time before we get to take a shower," Kate asked again as she held Xiaoyun\'s new pair of pants in her hand.
This time, Xiaoyun finally accepted Kate\'s suggestion as he moved his hand to the side, indicating for her to continue.
Kate pulled his boxer all the way down in one swoop, ignoring the elephant in the room as she threw the blood-stained boxer to the side.
"Um, can you make a new one?"
"Oh, right. My bad."
Xiaoyun quickly handed Kate the new pair of boxers, allowing her to put both his boxers and pants back on.
"That\'s what a cock looked like up close? How can anyone have that massive thing inside them? It\'s even longer than my hands...."
As Kate thought more and more about it in her head, Xiaoyun was still combating a whole new battle.
His drowsiness only got stronger every second, with the urge to close his eyes and lean back down on the bed starting to drive him insane.
But all Xiaoyun could do was bite his lips and wait for his leg to heal on its own, unable to use his ability as the drowsiness was getting worse every time he used it earlier.
"Kate, can you help me get up the bed?"
Despite Xiaoyun\'s request, Kate kept staring into the air as if her brain was thinking of something else.
"Hello? Kate, you there?" Xiaoyun asked again as he waved his hand before her face.
"Oh, sorry. What did you say?"
"Can you help me up? I need to go downstairs right now... And don\'t worry about the wound. It\'s already healed."
"Okay..."
Kate didn\'t doubt Xiaoyun\'s words as she helped him get up from the bed and supported him all the way to the hotel\'s main lobby again.
"Commander, are you okay?" one of the soldiers asked, as all of them noticed him walking with Kate supporting him.
"I\'m fine. Don\'t worry about it... Has the majors come back yet?" Xiaoyun asked as he sat back down in the receptionist\'s chair.
"Not yet. But they had reported that the artillery is now in position."
"Good. Tell them to get ready to blow up all of the boats... But don\'t fire until I say so." Xiaoyun ordered.
"Yes, sir."
As the soldiers left the hotel to transport the order, Xiaoyun took out the map once again and thought back to the order he just issued.
"Are they really going to wait until all the boats are blown up before coming out?" Xiaoyun thought to himself as all he could do now was wait.
---
"Professor Pan, they are shooting down our boats! We have to do something, or else we will be really stuck on this island."
Several people were surrounding the professor, all wearing the same lab coat as they pressured him to do something.
"What do you want me to do? If we go out now, we\'ll all die. They will never negotiate honorable with us——"
"They never said they wanted us to die, no? Aren\'t we coming up with a conclusion too fast?" One of the scientists suggested.
"Are you questioning my decision Ning?"
The professor\'s voice suddenly darkened as he turned over to him, giving him a death stare despite wearing shaded lab glasses.
"N-No, professor."
As the room fell into silence, none of them dared speak up, as their faces displayed fear toward Professor Pan.
But the silence ended when the professor took one step back, falling to the pressure of the groups of scientists.
"I\'ll talk to them... Ghost nine and ten, come with me."
Out of nowhere, two invisible figures emerge from the background. They jump, scaring the scientist for a second before realizing they are friendly.
"Isn\'t nine dead?"
Despite one of the scientists murmuring to themselves in an extremely quiet voice, the professor overheard it.
"He\'s the replacement from the North. You all can go back to your work now."
The scientists all immediately left the room, leaving the professor alone with Ghost Nine and Ten.
He looked at them for a second, then turned back around as he threw his lab coat on the floor, showing no care that his disfigured body was fully on display for the two to see.
After putting on a suit and a facemask, he finally headed towards the exit, and the two followed behind.
---
Just as Xiaoyun was about to pinch himself again to keep himself awake, the ground suddenly started shaking.
"What the fuck is that?" Kate murmured as the ground shake stopped after a short moment.
Suddenly, the hotel elevator that had no power earlier turned on, showing that something was coming up from a B1 despite the layout not having a basement.
All the soldiers immediately aimed their guns at the rifle, fully alerted as they got into position and waited for it to open.
"They finally couldn\'t wait any longer," Xiaoyun murmured as he stretched his arms and stood back up on his two feet without help.
As the elevator door opened, only a single person emerged. He walked forward and raised his hand into the air, showing no sign of resistance.
"Identify yourself. Who are you?" One of the soldiers asked out loud.
"You guys wanted to see me, no? Isn\'t that right, Mr. Xiaoyun?"
Seeing the confidence in the man\'s voice, Xiaoyun was a little annoyed. But he still walked slowly up next to the soldiers.
"You can represent the organization behind this?" Xiaoyun asked.
"As a whole? No. But I\'m the head of the local branch in Guangdong if that\'s what you are asking." The masked man explained.
"Great. Then I\'m sure you know what I\'m here for, right?"
The masked man hesitated for a second, then spoke up again.
"To get revenge for your attempted assassination?"
"Nope. I couldn\'t care less if you send another assassin after me... But when you went after my family, it\'s over the line." Xiaoyun coldly stated.
"I can halt all operations and issue an order to never near you or your family if that\'s what you want."
Xiaoyun shook his head again, not trusting a single word coming out of his mouth.
"I know you guys are the ones that send the massive zombie hordes in our direction," Xiaoyun revealed one of his bargaining chips.
"I can halt that... Anything else you want?"
Seeing the masked man easily accept his demand, Xiaoyun was a little caught off guard. But he didn\'t stop there.
"I also want you guys to stop experimenting on whatever kind of zombies you are making and stop all human experiments——"
"Do you think I\'m going to accept that?" The masked man questioned as he shrugged his shoulder.
All of the soldiers immediately raised their guns again as all of them were united at this exact moment.
It was the confirmation that matched Xiaoyun\'s description of the human experiments and the creation of new zombies being conducted on this island.
