Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1524 Cold Arrow
The assault team continued their infiltration and successfully reached the sixth floor. Strangely enough, there wasn't a single wasp flying in the corridor. If it weren't for the wasp corpses scattered all over the ground, it would have been as if the attack had never happened.

As they trudged forward, stepping over the corpses of wasps, the closer they got to the entrance to the rooftop, the more tense the team members became. This time, things had gone far too smoothly compared to last time.

The captain waved his hand, signaling the team members responsible for defusing the bomb to scout ahead first to ensure there were no bombs or other traps lying in ambush.

After careful testing, the team members determined that there were no bombs around, turned around and gave an OK sign to indicate that there was no problem.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The team leader said they could continue. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which was normal in a hospital.

Suddenly, one of them felt dizzy and staggered to the ground. When the team members around him noticed and tried to help him up, they found that they could not stand up either. Almost at the same time, everyone encountered the same situation. Their hands and feet were numb and they lost the ability to move. One after another, they collapsed to the ground.

At least during the previous swarm attack, they could still see the swarms, but this time they were all hit before they even understood what was happening.

The captain shouted with all his might, "Hold your breath, retreat, retreat..."

But it's too late to hold your breath now.

Liu Haiyu took off his headphones and looked back at the van. He saw Feng Mingjun getting out of the car. She had just seen the entire process of the team's infiltration through the monitor. This infiltration operation failed even more completely. They didn't see the enemy or encounter any frontal attacks, yet the entire team had already lost their fighting capacity.

Feng Mingjun did not immediately issue orders. Instead, she took a few steps toward the building and looked up. From her angle, it was impossible for her to see the scene on the rooftop. She was certain that this incident was also the work of Xu Chunliang.

Liu Haiyu slowly approached Feng Mingjun's side, remaining silent and waiting for her command.

After a long while, Feng Mingjun finally said, "Evacuate all the personnel."

Liu Haiyu nodded and sent more people to provide reinforcements. All the team members who went to provide reinforcements were equipped with gas masks. Their primary mission was to rescue their teammates.

Feng Mingjun did not immediately return to the car. Seeing that Liu Haiyu was also fully equipped, he decided to personally lead the team to the rescue.

Dark clouds filled the sky, foreshadowing an impending storm.

Liu Haiyu asked Feng Mingjun for instructions on the operation, and Feng Mingjun nodded slightly in agreement. After today's operation suffered repeated setbacks, she was almost certain that it was all directly related to Xu Chunliang.

call out!
An arrow whistled through the air and shot toward Liu Haiyu's throat, but Feng Mingjun reacted quickly and pushed Liu Haiyu away.

The arrow, gleaming with a cold light, flew at high speed through the gap between the two, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The arrow continued its trajectory, striking the exterior of the building and piercing through the glass curtain wall, shattering the entire glass surface upon impact.

Liu Haiyu broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for Feng Mingjun's intervention, he would have been dead on the spot.

Feng Mingjun shouted sternly, "Find cover!"

Everyone scrambled for cover; the arrows had clearly come from outside. They had been focused entirely on the rooftop and on Su Tianyu, failing to anticipate the presence of enemies on the perimeter.

Based on the direction of the incoming arrow, Feng Mingjun deduced where the attackers might be hiding and pointed to the location of the hot spring health resort.

Another arrow flew over, this time targeting the business vehicle serving as the control center. The arrow struck a tire with a hiss, and the left front tire went flat, causing the vehicle to tilt. Feng Mingjun, who was using the vehicle as cover, felt a jolt in his heart. Whoever the attacker was, their archery skills were unparalleled.

Liu Haiyu, sitting on the ground, carefully moved to Feng Mingjun's side using the vehicle as cover: "Director, should we activate the follow-up plan?"

Feng Mingjun nodded: "The attackers should be hiding in the nursing home across the street. Let Xiao Qin lead the second team to surround them and eliminate the threat as soon as possible."

Whoosh! Another arrow flew, its target an SUV in the parking lot. The burning arrow struck the SUV's fuel tank directly.

The gasoline in the tank ignited instantly, followed by an explosion.

With a deafening bang, the SUV was shattered into pieces, the ground trembled, and many windows in the hospital buildings were broken.

Flames and shockwaves rolled in, and Liu Haiyu quickly lay down on the ground. Feng Mingjun's expression changed; there were more enemies than she had expected today. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Xu Chunliang was also drawn by the explosion, and he thought that Su Tianyu had detonated a pre-set bomb.

The elevator room was pitch black. Su Qing was awakened by the explosion. She opened her eyes and felt her blood surging and about to burst. The tearing sensation from head to toe made her let out a painful groan.

I heard my father's voice beside me: "Concentrate, don't fight me."

It felt as if a small knife was slowly cutting open the veins in my body; the pain made me wish I could die immediately.

Su Qing endured the pain: "It hurts so much..."

Su Tianyu said, "It will pass quickly, you must bear with it."

Su Qing's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and she began to make out her father's outline. His hands were pressed against his head, one hand against his abdomen. A chill seemed to flow continuously into his head, while his abdomen remained icy cold. The warmth flowing from his head dispersed throughout his body's meridians, eventually returning to his dantian. Su Tianyu's once black hair had turned gray, and his appearance was visibly aging.

Su Qing desperately wanted to ask what had happened, but the pressure and pain from the continuous infusion of her inner energy rendered her speechless.

Although Xu Chunliang was outside the elevator building, he could hear everything that was happening inside. He knew that Su Tianyu's transfer of power had reached a crucial stage. Although he could stop the attack from the outside, he was powerless to do anything about the situation inside. He could only comfort Su Qing through telepathy: "Xiao Qing, don't worry, I'm outside. You just need to endure it, let nature take its course, and don't think about anything."

Another explosion came from downstairs, and at the same time, Su Tianyu's hand fell limply to his side.

Su Qing was still unable to move freely. Seeing her father, whose hair and beard had turned completely white in a short time, she said in a trembling voice, "Dad..." She fainted due to a sudden surge of anger.

Su Tianyu said weakly, "Kid, come in..."

Xu Chunliang knew that he had finally finished transferring his skills. He pushed open the elevator door and saw Su Qing lying on the ground and Su Tianyu leaning against the wall.

If Xu Chunliang hadn't witnessed the whole process, he wouldn't have dared to recognize that the white-haired old man was Su Tianyu. Xu Chunliang first went to Su Qing's side to check her pulse. Although Su Qing had fainted, her pulse was strong and powerful, indicating that she had considerable internal strength. Su Tianyu must have transferred all his internal strength to her.

Xu Chunliang looked at Su Tianyu and said, "Why did you force your internal energy to be transferred to her?"

Su Tianyu said weakly, "My lifespan has ended... Even if I die, they won't let my daughter go... I have nothing to give her, so this is all I can do..."

Xu Chunliang sighed inwardly. Su Tianyu was worried that Su Qing would not be able to protect herself. Even if he gave Su Qing the martial arts, she would still inevitably face the tribulation of being devoured by the backlash of the foreign true energy.

Su Tianyu said, "You will protect her, right?"

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Su Tianyu said, "When they come in, you put all the blame on me, saying that I... kidnapped you... They won't let this go, they will definitely take you away for investigation. You... you remember, you must... you absolutely cannot let them take Su Qing away..."

Xu Chunliang looked at Su Tianyu: "You mean, they will do something bad to Su Qing?"

Su Tianyu smiled bitterly, "How they treated me in the past will be how they treat my daughter in the future... Feng... Feng Mingjun just sent people to attack, which proves... proves that she most likely knows your secret and no longer... no longer treats you as her son..."

Xu Chunliang said, "I understand."

Su Tianyu said, "From today onwards... you won't have peace either..."

Xu Chunliang said calmly, "I'm not afraid of trouble."

Su Tianyu smiled and nodded: "While I still have some strength, let's go out and surrender now. You take her and follow behind me."

He struggled to his feet and staggered outside.

Xu Chunliang picked up Su Qing from the ground, got up and left the elevator building, and shouted loudly, "Listen up, people downstairs, I have subdued the kidnapper. Bring the hostage out now."

Xu Chunliang's voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

The parking lot was in a mess, and the attackers had stopped their assault. Feng Mingjun's team had gone to the hot spring health center to inspect the scene, and no suspicious persons had been found so far.

Liu Haiyu said to Feng Mingjun, "It's Xu Chunliang. He has already taken control of Su Tianyu."

Feng Mingjun said, "The situation is unclear. Let's find out before we talk." Everything that has happened so far indicates that the relationship between Xu Chunliang and Su Tianyu is very delicate, and it is hard to say whether they are enemies or friends.

Liu Haiyu instructed the drone pilot to release the drone again and observe the situation on the rooftop through the drone's camera lens.

On the rooftop, Su Tianyu was walking towards the emergency exit, with Xu Chunliang carrying Su Qing behind him.

Meanwhile, the reinforcements had arrived at the spot where the entire raiding team had collapsed. They separated a group of people to move their teammates to a safe and well-ventilated area for rescue.

The remaining seven men, led by Liu Haiyu, continued forward, aiming their guns at the iron gate leading to the rooftop.

The iron gate rattled and then slowly opened, revealing Su Tianyu standing in front of it. He raised his hands and said, "I surrender, don't shoot."

Liu Haiyu waved his hand, and the team members aimed their guns at Su Tianyu and retreated in an orderly manner.

Xu Chunliang carried Su Qing behind Su Tianyu. Judging from Su Tianyu's slow and heavy steps, time was running out for him.
