Chapter 275 - CARRY HER

Hu Lei was dragged out of the vehicle about two hours later. The two men held her by the arms and allowed her feet to trail along the hard ground. With her head lowered, Hu Lei was finally able to open her eyes.

She could tell that she was near the ocean even without seeing it. ​​

The smell of seawater, the crashing waves as the tides rose and the cold, humid air washing over her arms…

She could not see much from her lowered head except for a rough concrete surface. However, judging from the ambient noise like the loud horns, she had been taken to some kind of harbour or dock.

For a moment, she thought about breaking free from the men holding her. Judging from the footsteps and the earlier incident, she could tell that there were two more people behind her.

If she broke the heel off her shoes, she would be able to stand more stably and take them out.

However, she dismissed the idea after mulling over it for a while.

She wanted a permanent solution to her problem. She could not keep living while wondering when the people after her would target her, Zhong Feng or Hu Fai. And she could not keep taking out the small fry while leaving a hidden danger.

This time, she was going to end it all.

She would make whoever was searching for her without relenting realise that they would not be able to gain anything even if they captured her.

If it was so simple to manipulate the genes of an ȧduŀt, they would not have produced those monsters she saw.

The group did not meet any other person through the walk. It was obvious that they had mapped out a route to make sure that they would not encounter anyone who would disrupt their plans.

After all, it would look suspicious to see four men escorting a helpless little lady in an evening dress.

As they ascended the ship, Hu Lei's feet hit multiple steps. She felt pain and cursed the people who were pulling on her arms in her mind.

Unfortunately, the pain also made her arms tense up involuntarily.

She cursed again in her mind.

They would know that she was conscious immediately. She had spent a lot of time with the soldiers hired by the organisation at the research facility in Antarctica before she had been taken as a lab rat.

She knew the level of experience and sensitivity they had.

With this in mind, she ġrȯȧnėd softly and tried to lift her head before it fell wearily. She also tensed her arms a little more as if she wanted to break free but was too weak.

With this, Frank and his companion would think that she had just woken up.

"She is awake," Frank commented.

She could recognise his voice. It had an annoying quality that hit the sweet spot between know-it-all and crazy psychopath.

"If you weren't pulling her so inelegantly and hurting her feet, would she have woken up?" Someone behind them scoffed.

"Why don't you come and carry her?" Frank's irritable companion retorted.

"I'm helping this idiot here. His ribs are broken, and he is tripping on some very strong pain meds." The man laughed.

When they got onto the ship, Hu Lei kept acting like she was desperately trying to regain her strength and break away. The two men held her arms tighter and dragged her along with them more roughly.

They did not have protective feelings towards women.

"I will let the captain know that we are on board, and we can set out immediately." The third man spoke. "And also, take this idiot to the infirmary."

Hu Lei felt a little uncertain about her plan. She could not help but be afraid of being on a moving ship because the last time she had been on one, she had ended up in Antarctica.

Would she be dropped into Mariana Trench this time?

"Good, we will take this one directly to the boss," Frank responded.

With those words, she became firm in her decision to use herself as the bait.

In her heart, she felt guilty for her selfish actions.

However, she was already tired of living in fear.

This time, she would end things.
