Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 94 - Aren't you moved?

A/N: As 'Love Me Again' had ended at my Patreon page, the schedule will be filled up by 'Shadow In Your Mind'! So 'Shadow In Your Mind' will now be 3x per week!

XG 94 - Aren't you moved?

Lucky for the exhausted group, the sub-team was alright. The sub-team was also relieved when they arrived, with no one missing. After all, that big guy was too tough to handle.

Kenny's wound was bandaged and the bullet was taken out by Jackson to his best ability. The pale-faced Choi Yerim was the one that stitched it with forced steady hands as her boyfriend does not know how to stitch anything.

There were some chairs inside the hidden lab and they all took one each, not showing any reluctance to rest at all. Their tiredness had them willingly leave their safety to be guarded by the locked door.

With her bag on her lap, Wong Xue Guo rummaged her backpack for her water bottle and had to spend a few seconds letting her shaking fingers slowly curl around the bottle before securely lifting it out.

Before she could twist open the bottle cap, Chen Yibo had taken it, twisted the cap, and passed it back to her. He must have noticed her shaking hands.

Her hands were no longer the smooth lady-like hands but of a fighter. Seeing her hands, she ached for her previous smooth soft hands but was also proud to achieve such hands that could protect herself and hopefully will be able to prevent her parent's death in the future.

Moving her gaze from her hands, she thanked him and drank thirstily, moisturizing her mouth and throat that relished from the chilling water.

"We found a generator!" Hyunjin happily shared the news with his captain.

Beom Seok was happy with the news, but a little saddened that their enthusiasm was similar to when they found a gold bar. Their level of satisfaction after the apocalypse had dropped way too much.

"There's no electricity, so I can't retrieve any files from the computer. We should carry them back," Jackson reported. From the physical documents, he had succeeded in breaking apart the code used to hide the gene experiment and get a lot of results. But he was unsure if they had printed out everything.

There was more risk in using incomplete data that would lead to a dangerous conclusion.

"We will decide that later," Kang Xunsu said. It was not confirmed whether they had completed their mission yet and were too early to decide anything permanent. Their vehicle has enough space, but it would also be a great hassle and dangerous to carry both the computers and medicines at the same time.

After a short rest, Chen Yibo helped Jackson to rummage through the entire lab for any more related content they were searching for. With Chen Yibo helping, Choi Yerim took a short break and was obviously favouring her right leg.

"What happened to your leg?" Wong Xue Guo asked after Choi Yerim took a seat beside her.

"I accidentally sprained my ankle when running without looking. It's not that serious."

But to Wong Xue Guo, hurting their leg was serious, especially when they might definitely need to run again later. "Try to massage lightly and don't walk if needed."

"Thank you." She eyed the bottle cradling in Wong Xue Guo's arms that were still slightly shaking from exhaustion. "You and Chen Yibo have a sweet relationship."

"Huh?" Wong Xue Guo turned to look at Choi Yerim strangely.

Choi Yerim knew that the two young adults were not in a relationship, and that puzzled her. "You and he are still not together yet? He took such good care of you, aren't you moved?"
