That night.
The moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by a smattering of stars.
Lu Chao rode in a Superpower Bureau jeep, heading first to the bureau headquarters.
He glanced up at the night sky outside the window.
After spending so much time in the Hive District, it was easy to forget the feeling of day and night.
Only now, back on the surface, did he feel like he could finally catch his breath.
"Captain Yang was treated in time. He'll live."
"But Captain Gu from Squad One... he didn't make it..."
Arriving outside the infirmary, he saw the corridor bathed in the light of incandescent lamps, with doctors in white coats bustling back and forth.
Chen Xiao's voice was low. His injuries weren't too severe—just a minor arm fracture, which was already wrapped in gauze.
Lu Chao fell silent. On this mission, four of his men had died and six were seriously injured.
Most of them had been attacked and killed while standing guard near the motorcade.
"I know."
