Chapter 266

“Boss, wake up!” Eric swiftly collected himself and rushed to assess Eder’s condition. His gaze darted across the man, finding no signs of injury or bullet wounds. That could only mean one thing. Had the virus flared up?

Eric’s hand trembled as he felt for a pulse on Eder’s neck. It was steady, though faint. A sigh of relief escaped him as he thought, Thank heavens, he was still alive, just unconscious.’

Supporting Eder’s arm, he hoisted him onto his back, swiftly outlining their next steps.

“Fred and Cole, you’re with me. We need to retreat immediately. Everyone else, provide cover. We must evacuate the area within ten minutes and return to S City within forty-eight hours.”

“Understood!”

Once the arrangements were in place, Eric, with Eder’s unconscious form on his back, took off, racing through the dense foliage.

Fred and Cole were right on their heels, on high alert, ready to tackle any potential threat.

After a swift withdrawal from the border, they boarded a helicopter set to fly them straight back to 5 City.

As the helicopter soared thousands of feet above the ground, Eder remained unresponsive. His complexion was alarmingly pale, and his body chilled to the touch.

Eric felt for his pulse once more, which had grown disturbingly weak. His breathing was shallow.

“Faster! We need to go faster!” His command came out as a roar, his eyes reddening, his voice choked. “Mr. Storm, you can’t die! Hang in there. We’ll be at the lab soon. Doctor B is waiting. You’ll be okay!”

Fred and Cole, both younger and less experienced, were struggling to hold back their tears. Both knelt beside Eder, crying as they clung to his hands, trying to warm his icy skin.

Three hours later, they touched down at the laboratory, cloaked in the dead of night.
