Chapter 283: Mu Nan’s Hope
The wait took two hours, but by the time it was done, Mu Nan could already speak, albeit with a low voice. But all the people in the room being cultivators and superpower users, they could hear him loud and clear.
As it turned out, when Pei Ming was preparing the IV, he had added some of their drinking water in the glucose.
They weren’t stupid, the few soldiers had long realized that the water Ye Xuan gave them to drink was not ordinary. It was just that he never said anything and just told them to use it for drinking. So, they said nothing and pretended to know nothing as well.
This was because of the trust they had in each other. They knew that Ye Xuan would not give them anything that would hurt them, hence, they used the water without any burden.
"Thank you." Those were the two words that Mu Nan said after he was able to talk. It also confirmed their speculation that he was indeed still a human.
"You are welcome. You just had glucose injected into your body. Wait for a while then you can drink some soup. You can’t leave for now. We will finish our mission then come back and take you with us." Yang Leo, who was familiar with Mu Nan, told him about the situation.
The others stood by and waited, they had to collect the things they needed before the water got to their floor.
Mu Nan had no objection to their plans. They had already been delayed because of him and they had found him by accident anyway. They were not obligated to help but they had brought him back from the brink of death.
He believed that they had not gone to such an extent to save him only to abandon him there to die. So, he didn’t feel reluctant when Yang Leo informed him. He just nodded his head slightly.
"Jing Xian, you stay here and look after him. It’s not safe to leave him alone in case a tide comes in and the place floods. The water is too close now." Gu Fan instructed one of his comrades to stay behind and watch over the patient.
