Fifteen minutes later, Bai Falcon was sitting in the driver's seat of the black SUV. Adriana came back with Renee and Xiang Keping, Xiang Keping carried Renee on his back, Shen Lin followed Adriana, and a group of his men helped Renee and Xiang Keping carry their luggage.
After a while, the three of them got into Bai Falcon's car, and Shen Lin bid farewell to Adrienne respectfully. Bai Falcon turned the car and drove straight out of Blue Lake Town, into the wilderness, heading towards Xinjing.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was strangely calm. Bai Falcon had been thinking about Wu Qi, staring straight ahead without saying a word. Renee and Xiang Keping were sitting in a stranger's car, and they didn't dare to speak loudly. Xiang Keping would occasionally whisper a few words into Renee's ear, and Renee's replies were also very low.
In such an atmosphere, the SUV drove straight and at high speed. After half a day, it arrived at the border of Xinjing, at the gate of the fearless barrier.
"Bai Falcon, please excuse me." Adriana got off the car in the parking lot. She smiled lightly at Bai Falcon through the driver's window.
"It's just a simple matter among colleagues," Bai Falcon changed the subject and suddenly mentioned, "Major Adrianna, I want to ask you something. Did your father, Dean Moses, ever treat a man named 'Wu Qi'? A wanted order has been issued.”
Adriana thought for a while and replied: "I'm not sure, but it seems to be the case. What's wrong, is Ye Xiao also interested in Wu Qi?"
"Nothing." Bai Falcon showed a professional smile. He looked at Adrienne's micro-expression and it seemed that Adrienne didn't know that Wu Qi might have another identity.
Nine years ago, Greg's authority should not have touched the highest-level military secret orders. Thinking about it this way, Greg might have wanted to capture Wu Qi for other reasons.
After Bai Falcon said goodbye to Adrienne, he thought about it for a while and then took the steering wheel again.
On the other side, Xiang Keping just carried Renee onto Adrienne's bright red Maserati. Adrienne sat in the driver's seat smoothly and started the engine while saying: "Back to the Western Branch, remember the first Report to the doctor immediately. During the days when you were away from the Western Branch, many changes occurred in the Western Branch. When you go back, the laboratory should be very busy, so you should think carefully and don't cause trouble to the doctor. .Also, the most I can do is send you to the entrance of the Western branch. I can’t get in, do you understand?"
Renee and Xiang Keping nodded.
Adriana took Renee and Xiang Keping to the entrance of the Western Branch and stopped at the gate. Adriana got out of the car first and took out a mechanical bracket from the trunk.
This mechanical brace was prepared for Renee in advance before she went out. She was in a hurry and couldn't buy a better one, but it was enough to help people with paralyzed lower limbs walk normally.
Renee put on the mechanical brace with the help of Xiang Keping. She tested it for half a minute and basically learned how to walk freely. She cast a grateful look at Adrienne and thanked her sincerely. Adrienne only responded perfunctorily and drove away.
For Adrienne, the nature of being a soldier is to complete the task in the best possible manner. In Renee's eyes, Adrienne takes special care of her, and she doesn't feel emotionally invested at all.
Renee and Xiang Keping looked at the bright red car shadow that was shrinking on the road. The car shadow quickly shrank out of sight. The two of them turned around and showed their IDs to the gate guard, and successfully entered the Western branch, returning to a place where Renee could feel a sense of belonging.
The two walked through the green avenue of the garden, walked into the bottom door of the Galaxy battleship-shaped building, walked through the familiar halls and corridors, took the elevator to the main research institute on the top floor of the building, and went straight to the A-11 laboratory.
The electronic door of the laboratory clicked open for the two of them. What came into view was still the familiar place. The researchers in Greg's team were all busy, and no one raised their heads to look at the door. It was just like usual.
Seeing this home-like place, Renee felt plainly happy and relieved, but when she thought about the failure of her mission, she felt a little depressed and annoyed.
Xiang Keping saw Renee's frustrated eyes and subconsciously wanted to pat Renee's back to comfort her. His hand suddenly stopped halfway out, paused for a while, and finally retracted it and put it back on the side of his thigh.
Xiang Keping smiled and said: "Renee, look forward."
Renee said "hmm", controlled the mechanical bracket, and walked towards Greg's desk.
Greg was sitting in front of a computer screen displaying various experimental research data, concentrating on his work. The tea on the table had stopped steaming long ago, but Greg had not taken a sip. Renee took a few steps into the laboratory and felt that the entire laboratory was in an extremely busy atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be working intensively without any chance to breathe.
"Dr. Greg, Renee is back." Renee bent down and said in a deep voice.
The movement of Greg's hand suddenly paused. He slowly turned the chair and faced Renee. Renee raised his head and his eyes met Greg's face. She found that Greg's brows were filled with deep fatigue, and his eyes were like windows to the soul, revealing his severe mental and physical deficiencies.
Greg has always been in good spirits. We haven’t seen him for many days, so why did he become like this
Renee showed a nervous expression, took a step forward, half-crouched and touched the back of Greg's hand, and asked concernedly: "Greg, what's wrong with you?"
Greg looked up and down at Renee. Renee's complexion was very poor. At first glance, her pale pink lips were not rosy at all, but rather white. Renee was still wearing a mechanical brace, and it was obvious that her spinal injury had not healed, and she was essentially a patient with paralysis of her lower limbs.
Even though Renee was like this, her expression of concern for herself was still instantly visible. Greg thought to himself that maybe he sincerely treated Renee, whose memory was blank after the experiment, and gave her the highest expectations. Naturally, Renee also showed sincerity and truly cared about him.
There was a warm current flowing through Greg's heart. Greg looked at Renee's beautiful face, which was like a celestial being, and stared into her worried blue eyes. Deep down, he believed that she should be different from the twelve experimental subjects of the second generation.
"Back." Greg's tone was like an old father speaking to his adopted daughter who had not returned home for a long time.
"I'm back," Renee's hand slowly slid down from the back of Greg's hand and placed it on the cold floor. She lowered her head, pursed her pink-white lips tightly, and finally said, "Renee didn't do things well and failed." Capture Wu Qi. I’m sorry, Greg, but Renee let you down.”
