Chapter 266 Countdown To Death
“Boss, you’re awake!”
Upon getting a grip of himself, Nico threw himself forward to check on Cedrick’s condition. Fortunately, the latter was unharmed and wasn’t struck by any bullets.
That can only mean the virus inside him is acting up!
Nico placed his trembling hand on Cedrick’s neck to check his pulse.
Upon feeling its steady rhythm, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank God he’s still alive. He just lost consciousness.
After lifting Cedrick by the arm and loading him on his back, Nico calmly gave out instructions.
“Neville, Swain, retreat with me. As for the rest of you, provide cover and retreat in ten minutes. We’ll meet back in Salinsburgh two days later.”
“Got it.”
Once the orders were issued, Nico carried the unconscious Cedrick on his back and fled through the forest.
Following closely behind them, Neville and Swain stayed vigilant for any potential attacks by the enemy.
They subsequently boarded a waiting helicopter and returned to Salinsburgh after leaving the border as fast as they could.
However, Cedrick remained unconscious during the flight. His face grew increasingly pale, whereas his body felt cold to the touch.
When Nico put his hand on Cedrick’s neck again, he noticed that the latter’s pulse was growing weak while his breath began to shallow.
“Hurry up! Fly this bird as fast as you can!” Nico roared as his eyes turned bloodshot.
By then, his voice had begun to choke. “Boss, you can’t die yet! You have to hang in there. We’ll be at the lab soon. Prof. Mallory will definitely save you!”
