Chapter 247 Departure 3
Through Jiang Li's tight protective suit, Lin Panpan could vaguely see her slightly pale lips. Worried, she immediately pressed her down to sit on the suitcase, then stood behind her, letting her lean gently against her.
Xiao An, being very sensible, tugged at Jiang Li's arm and said in a childish voice, "Sister, are you feeling unwell? Xiao An will blow on it for you and you'll feel better."
After saying that, she pouted her little mouth, leaned close to Jiang Li's face, and gently blew on it.
Jiang Li felt a warmth in her heart, reached out and touched Xiao An's head gently, saying, "Sister is alright now, thank you Xiao An."
About ten minutes later, Liang Zi and Ye Jingmo emerged from the forest, their protective suits covered in leaves and dirt.
"Are you feeling any better?" Ye Jingmo walked quickly to Jiang Li's side, bent down, and checked on her with concern, his eyes filled with worry.
He secretly decided that once he arrived at the underground base, he would definitely find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to help Jiang Li recuperate.
"I feel much better, let's hurry up and go. We're not far from the underground base now, the sooner we get in, the sooner we can feel at ease."
Jiang Li braced herself against her knees to get up, not wanting to waste time and risk any unforeseen events on the way.
Suddenly, Jiang Li felt her body lighten, and she flipped over in the air before landing steadily on Ye Jingmo's broad back.
Jiang Li's hand rested on Ye Jingmo's shoulder, her head still spinning, and she didn't immediately realize what had happened.
“I’ll carry you on my back; it’ll be faster that way.” Ye Jingmo’s words were as firm as steel, leaving no room for negotiation.
Liang Zi obediently took Ye Jingmo's luggage and walked with firm steps toward the underground base.
As they approached the underground base, the number of people around them increased like a tide.
The crowd formed two long lines, with those on the left not wearing protective suits and those on the right wearing them.
The number of people in the teams without protective suits is much larger than the number of people in the teams with protective suits.
As Jiang Li and her companions passed by, those without protective suits glared at them with envy and jealousy, their gazes burning like flames, as if they wanted to tear off their clothes and put them on themselves.
Ye Jingmo ignored the gazes of these people and walked straight towards the group on the right.
The team moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Li saw the underground base.
All she could see at that moment was the concrete building extending outwards, which was probably used for crowd diversion and disinfection.
Soldiers in protective suits registered the identity information of the people in line, and then allowed them to enter the cement building.
"Please show your identification information." The soldier's voice echoed in Jiang Li's ears like a booming bell.
Ye Jingmo gently put Jiang Li down, quickly registered their information, and then had the soldier scan his watch.
"Alright, you can go in now." The soldier waved for the two to enter.
As soon as Jiang Li reached the door of the cement building, she felt a gust of wind rushing towards her like a surging sea wave. If she hadn't been wearing a protective suit, she was sure her hair would have been flying wildly like seaweed.
As Jiang Li passed through the mist of disinfectant, she was surprised to find a large gate that she had only ever seen on television—the kind that banks use to prevent robberies.
The massive gate, resembling an impregnable city wall, is tens of centimeters thick and gleams with a cold metallic light, as if proclaiming its sturdiness, proving that even a tank charging at full force would find it difficult to break through.
“Only one person can pass through here at a time,” a soldier standing in front of the gate said expressionlessly to Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo.
"Ah Li, I'll go in first." Ye Jingmo gently patted Jiang Li's hand, then resolutely walked towards the passage.
The soldiers only allowed Jiang Li to enter when the light on the gate changed from red to green.
The brightly lit passageway, like twinkling starlight, illuminated Jiang Li's tense heart.
The passageway was divided into three sections. The first two rooms were for disinfection, and the last room was where Jiang Li took off her protective suit and put it into a basket.
The protective suits have labels attached when you enter, which makes it easier to return them later.
Looking at the information on the wall, Jiang Li finally understood why the protective suits were labeled upon entry.
Jiang Li took off her protective suit and completed the final disinfection before the gate slowly rose.
