Chapter 98: Secret Rescue!

With China’s resources, paying for 13’s rehabilitation was a cinch.

If 13 recovered, his abilities could earn the rabbit country tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.

Indeed, 13 had this ability.

Previously, he had hit a roadblock.

But now, his attention was completely undivided upon Raymond’s inventions.

He was eager to study it.

However, if China opened talks with Italy for his return, it would take at least half a year.

Half a year was already an optimistic figure.

If the talks didn’t go well, he could very well be stuck here for the next year.

Even if China paid hundreds of millions of dollars in rehabilitation fees to Italy every year, Italy would hold on to him, knowing just how much he meant to them.

Perhaps it had already begun.

However, 13 did not want to wait any longer.

After thinking about it, he thought of a person.

A person who could quickly get him out of here.

[I’m at the Epps Rehabilitation Center. Get. Me. Out. I need to verify Raymond’s technology – Shepherd]

In two days, 13 only sent out a single line.

This message was not sent to China, but to the United States!

However, this message was intercepted along the way.

FBUU was an American listening agency.

They had many secret contacts.

By intercepting the downloaded data, they could achieve the effect of disseminating information.

Over the next two days, 13 had already sent out all the data he needed to send.

Upon reaching a total of 100 bytes, it would immediately attract attention.

Not long after, the secret contents were sent to McLean by FBUU.

Yes, it was NASA’s McLean.

When he saw this message, McLean was completely stunned.

“Shepherd?”

When he saw the suffix, McLean’s first reaction was disbelief.

Three years ago, the news of Shepherd’s death spread throughout the circle.

For a month, no new technology was produced.

It was as if Shepherd’s death had put technological advancement to a halt.

Even though they belonged to different countries, they had agreed to stop all research for a month.

It in honor of Shepherd.

Yet, McLean had received such a text.

His first reaction was to report to the White House.

Shepherd was on the world list.

If he could fight for his case, his country could gain a massive asset.

If he could not fight for it, he had to find a way to bring it to God.

Shepherd was Chinese.

China was a great enemy to all the countries in the world.

Therefore, the United States started moving in the shadows.

Shepherd had revealed himself.

Epps rehabilitation center.

Everyone in the circle knew about this mental hospital.

After all, only at their level, with the support of the country, would those who made great contributions gain the opportunity to live in it.

Scientists were actually a high-risk profession.

Part of it was because of the danger.

Another part was the likelihood of falling to mental illness.

The Epps rehabilitation center was specifically designed to treat such people.

“Why is Shepherd at the Epps Rehabilitation Center?”

After McLean blurted that question aloud, he immediately thought about it.

Scientists were exposed to many new things, so it was very easy to come into contact with things that would collapse their worldview.

Once or twice was fine, but if the number of times was too high, it would easily cause such problems.

Moreover, Shepherd was one of the best scientists in the world.

The world’s top scientist!

His status was even a little higher than McLean’s!

Immediately after, McLean handed the information to the White House.

“I need you to go and rescue the Shepherd as quickly as possible!”

After handing over the information, McLean immediately dialed the president’s number.

With the White House’s ability, The President must have already known the importance of the Shepherd.

“McLean, watch your tone.”

The President’s tone was neither stern nor cold, but he did not seem to be happy.

“President, you must have seen the information on Shepherd. This matter concerns our national strength. Why are you still hesitating?”

“He hasn’t touched anything new in three years. What use is he now?”

“Three years? He’ll be up to speed in a month. If Raymond is number one now, then Shepherd is number two!” McLean emphasized, “In some fields, he is the undisputable forerunner. Moreover, it takes me twice as long to analyze Raymond’s research without the Shepherd!”

How could The President not know the importance of the Shepherd?

After thinking carefully, The President immediately waved his hand and sent out a red document.

No matter the cost, he had to get Shepherd into NASA in the shortest time possible.

The FBI was on standby at all times.

The moment they received the order, several shadow passports appeared from thin air.

There were no international records, no military rank, no fingerprints, no records…

A group of people who seemed to have never been born suddenly gathered in the country.

They met up at a safehouse.

All information regarding the Epps rehabilitation center was reviewed.

They quickly spotted loopholes and gaps in security, patrols, and whatnot.

Although that unit had not experienced combat for a long time, they did not underestimate the enemy at all.

Their goal was to extract the Shepherd as quickly as possible and send him safely to NASA.

9.8 kilometers away from Epps rehabilitation center.

Twenty-one people were gathered in the jungle.

“Remember, our goal this time is to safely move the target. The safety of the target is more important than anything else, even if it means sacrificing any of us…”

“That yellow-skinned monkey better be worth it…”

Just as a doubtful voice sounded, the captain immediately took out a dagger.

Half a second later, the dagger that had not been sharpened for 14 months was placed horizontally on the neck of the doubter.

The captain knew the importance of this mission, so he needed to let the other team members know as well.

“We were undercover in Italy for a mission, and this extraction is also a mission. For your so-called yellow-skinned monkey, the country has already spent tens of millions. I hope you understand your responsibilities clearly.”

“If you’re not qualified for this mission, then withdraw. This is your last chance. Right in front of us is their garrison.”

The dagger pressing on the skeptic’s neck became heavier and heavier, as if it would break skin at any moment.

But this skeptic didn’t resist.

Only bean-sized sweat kept coming out.

He felt death approaching.

He knew that even if he resisted, it would be in vain.

Even though the captain had been hiding in Italy for nearly 10 years, he was still far superior.

“Captain, I quit…”

“Okay!”

After the captain agreed, the dagger loosened a little.

The doubter finally let out a sigh of relief.

However!

In the next moment, the captain immediately twisted his hand with great force.

The doubter’s neck was immediately broken.

If there was the smell of blood, they would no doubt be exposed.
