Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 397
Chapter 397: Lin Chuxue Got Shot
Before dawn, Xu Cheng had already woken up. He hurriedly left the Dragon Division’s base. Of course he hadn’t fully recovered. His internal organs all almost shifted places and he coughed up a lot of of blood. After that fight, he directly lost the ability to fight, how could he recover right away? But, he couldn’t show it, because if he showed that he wasn’t fine, then he would be forced to get a check up by the doctors, and those scientists might find out about the secrets of his body. This had always been on Xu Cheng’s mind. His secret must not be revealed, or he might be studied like a monster.
Although the genes in his body made him very powerful, it also brought him a lot of worries. First of all, he couldn’t just see doctors so liberally, and there was still no doctor he could fully trust yet. The other thing was, no matter how bad his injuries in the past were, he painfully endured all of it and recovered by himself. He didn’t know what would be the end of the road for the constant self-recovery. Before he could completely understand his body and know all the side effects, Xu Cheng didn’t even dare to touch his gorgeous wife.
Sigh, and that was the most painful and agonizing part. His wife Lin Chuxue was probably also very confused, and she might even suspect if there was something wrong with Xu Cheng’s body. Otherwise, how could he be able to resist and not make a move in front of such a beautiful girl? It might even be making Lin Chuxue question her own charm.
Xu Cheng was scared that if the virus or mutated genes in his body infect Lin Chuxue, the genetic structure of her cells will be destroyed immediately since her body wasn’t as strong as Xu Cheng’s.
Sigh, indeed, nothing comes free.
After Xu Cheng got off the plane, he directly called a cab and went to a 5-star hotel with good privacy and hurriedly locked the door. Then, he went into the washroom and began taking off clothes as he waited for the water to fill the tub.
After the tub was filled, Xu Cheng desperately submerged himself into the water completely. With his hands around his knees, he put his head under the water too and just stayed there.
The water actually felt like it was alive as it agilely infiltrated the billions of pores of his body to repair his damaged internal organs and genes!
Of course, Xu Cheng didn’t notice it himself. But when he sank into the tub, his whole body felt as if it was relieved. The internal pain finally got alleviated and brought some color back to his pale face. This feeling was very much like when he was injured back in Britain, where Jacob accidentally spilled water onto him and allowed him to speedily recover.
Xu Cheng leaned in the bathtub and felt much better. He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, and he raised his hand and looked at it in confusion. At this time, the water had, as if, lost its spirit, but Xu Cheng could still remember the feeling of desperately looking for a source of water in his subconsciousness.
Xu Cheng did a bold move. He bit his index finger and blood began coming out. At this moment, he made the shocking discovery that the water molecules were actually beginning to climb up from his chest, up his arm, and towards that finger. Then, the water molecules covered up the wound, and Xu Cheng just watched in shock as this happened, in utter disbelief.
His wound was recovering at an extremely quick speed, and the only unfortunate thing was that he couldn’t recover the blood that was lost, so he was still feeling a bit exhausted. However, all internal and external injuries could be repaired really quickly.
This discovery was enough to make Xu Cheng ecstatic, and now he just didn’t know to what degree the water molecules could cure his injuries. But this still allowed Xu Cheng to hold off on finding a doctor.
He wondered if it was the water bear gene’s characteristics or the sea turtle’s characteristics that made him crave for water so much.
Thinking about sea turtles, he felt like how he just urgently looked for water was very similar to a sea turtle digging itself out of the sand and trying desperately to get into the ocean. He felt like he should do something to test out this bold theory of his, so he took a breath and sunk his head back into the bathtub.
Then, he slowly tried to open his eyes, and magically, he felt there was no discomfort at all. He made the shocking realization that he didn’t have trouble breathing at all… No, strictly speaking, he was still holding his breath, but it felt like every pore on his body could breathe or something, and he no longer needed just his nose to acquire oxygen. Just like that, Xu Cheng stayed underwater for at least 10 minutes and didn’t feel like suffocating at all.
Wait a second.
Xu Cheng seemed to remember, he actually tried this before but it was just that he didn’t realize it at that time. Back in Britain when he dove into the pool and hid there to drown Tom, he didn’t notice that he was actually in the water for more than five minutes until he made sure that Tom had drowned. The whole progress lasted at least five minutes, and back then, Xu Cheng didn’t even notice that he acquired this new underwater survival characteristic!
Xu Cheng lost track of how long he was in the tub for, and he finally came out when it was already noon. When he stood in front of the mirror and saw that he still looked like a normal human being, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
He tried to enter invisible mode, and it was very successful. Everything was working, nothing seemed to have changed upon requiring this new ability or after using water to heal.
His penetrating vision was still there too, and he was surprised to see a man standing outside of his door. The guy was in the uniform of the hotel staff.
He knocked on the door, and in broken Chinese he said, “It’s time to check out.”
What the fack, I just opened the room this morning and you are kicking me out at noon? How much larger could the flaw be?
Xu Cheng kept looking at this sneaky man from inside. He was looking left and right, and he seemed to be not sure whether Xu Cheng was actually inside the room. Right then, Xu Cheng got a text message from Bei Shan, and there was a photo of some dude. Xu Cheng paused for a moment, Wait a second, isn’t this dude the guy standing right outside my door?
On the text it wrote, This is the assassin hired by one of the Wei Nation’s financial groups. He’s a master of Nin Dao, and he was sent in retaliation for you closing their underground money house in Huaxia and killing a senior manager in Vegas.
Xu Cheng got it.
At this moment, his phone rang, and it directly alerted the killer at the door. It turned out to actually be a call from Bei Shan!
“Yo, Xu Cheng, did you see the information I sent you? Our Dragon Division’s intelligence team tracked down a master of Nin Dao from the Wei Nation entering the border, and we found that he has been tracking you at your condo area for the past two months. We suspect that he’s a killer sent by a financial group in the Wei Nation to kill you, so you better be careful.”
Xu Cheng directly cursed, “I’m already facking careful enough, it’s your call that alerted him, you b–ch!”
Then, the door of the room was directly kicked open. The killer heard the ringtone from inside and decided to just rush in without a word.
The moment he came in, Xu Cheng threw his phone at him. The killer directly kicked away the phone that flew over and started firing consecutive shots at Xu Cheng. But, he shockingly realized, his target actually disappeared without a trace!
Then, with a sudden crack, his neck was broken as he fell straight to the ground.
With his ears and penetrating vision, Xu Cheng saw 7 more guys coming out from the elevators and stairs. He picked up his phone and put on his clothes as he called Bei Shan back and swore, “I want to facking fire you, what kind of intelligence did you give me? They sent at least a whole squad!”
Bei Shan bitterly smile and said, “Come on, man, I’m still resting on the hospital bed. I’m on sick leave yet I’m still sending you intelligence on the enemy, where can you find an employee as good as me? Oh right, I have to remind you, this is the capital, don’t cause too much chaos. Be a bit gentle please.”
“Go fack yourself!” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. He could only take off his clothes again and be naked like a perv. Then, he went invisible and quietly walked down the hallway to fight those 7 assassins. Originally, he could show off his brute force and handsomely 1v7 head-on, but to avoid causing a commotion and gunshots, he could only use this kind of shameful way of killing people while being naked. If his wife were to find out about this, would that change the majestic image of him in her heart?
Just when Xu Cheng was about to head out quietly, his phone rang again, and it was from Auntie Lan?
When Xu Cheng picked it up, he heard Auntie Lan anxiously talking, “Young Master, Young Madam got shot! Just now we got attacked at our hotel!”
Xu Cheng’s pupils enlarged immediately.
