Chapter 258: Awakener List_1

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Awakener List_1Lu Xiang and Song Lan stayed in the hallway of the prosthetic hospital for quite some time until Lador was stabilized after receiving emergency treatment and was transferred to a ward. Only when his mental state had settled did they enter the room.

"You’ve arrived just in time."

Lying on his back, Lador nodded towards his coat that was hung on the rack and had been left in tatters due to the explosion, saying, "There’s a pack of cigarettes in the pocket of my coat, hurry up and get it for me."

When he was wheeledinto the ward, he had made the same request to the nurse, but met with a merciless refusal, even getting a lecture in return.

Talking about the health risks of smoking?

What a joke, these people have no idea what he had been through today.

If it had been just a second or two difference, he might not have been brought here in one piece, and even though he was saved, his worldview had been greatly shocked—now he had to light up a cigarette to calm his tumultuous emotions.

The only time in his life he had mustered the courage to stand up against the corporation, prepared to die nobly, yet he had not died. This made Lador feel that his current situation was somewhat awkward, realizing that playing the hero was not so easy.

Song Lan spoke the same words as the doctor, "Smoking is harmful to your health."

"Cut the crap, and be quick about it," Lador waved his hand impatiently, "I myself don’t mind."

"According to re

"Understood," said Lu Xiang with a nod.

Lador had resolved many of her doubts, but in doing so, had planted a new one, "It’s a miracle you’re still alive."

"That, I owe to those two foolish mercenaries."

Lador began to laugh, seemingly reminiscing a past event. As a middleman working for a large corporation, he shouldn’t get personally involved in his job, but inevitably there were a few individuals who left a lasting impression on him, "They actually stole the list of names from District 17 and almost managed to escape."

Thanks to these ’idiots’, he had accidentally seen the content of the list and buried it as his deepest secret.

Even when he knew that United Technology had the intent to silence him, he had no plans to divulge this information.

Because doing so would immediately escalate the intensity of the pursuit several notches.

"If you continue the investigation, you’ll encounter it sooner or later."

"Encounter what?"

"The Humanoid Weapons that United Technology has researched. They’re not something that Cyberpsychos can be compared to."

And it was because of these Humanoid Weapons that those two ’idiots’ made a fatal mistake and died on the road to the ’outside world’.

Unless absolutely necessary, the subsidiaries of United Technology didn’t wish to wage war against ’concerned citizens,’ but if pushed to a desperate situation, they would certainly deploy their Humanoid Weapon.

Lador had accepted his fate, simply waiting for an outcome.

He didn’t know whether the next person to visit him in the ward would be a Law Enforcer or an Assassin sent by United Technology.

"Good luck to you."
