Li Ke was detained for four hours before she met Xiao Yi. Before she met him, she had speculated many times that he might be the person in charge of this plan.

But everything was finally settled after I met him.

At this time, Li Ke had already been thoroughly body searched by the female soldiers, and her gender was no longer concealed. As the base commander, she did not receive any special treatment in front of these soldiers.

Xiao Yi had just come down from the island not long ago, and there was still some moisture and blood on his body. The weather outside was getting dark. When Xiao Yi came to the room where Li Ke was imprisoned, Li Ke was dozing by the window with his eyes slightly closed.

After hearing the noise, he opened his eyes and saw a tall figure walking towards him in the dim light. He was wearing the combat uniform of the island's indigenous people. It was not until he took off his hat that Li Ke could see his true face.

The four looked at each other for a long while before Xiao Yi, who had a somewhat untidy beard, spoke: "Long time no see, Li Ke, or Li Jia."

Li Ke's answer was a bit disappointing: "Not too long ago, I saw him two months ago."

The corners of Xiao Yi's lips seemed to curl up. After hearing Li Ke's words, he came and sat down opposite her. The tiredness in his body seemed to be released at once.

He said helplessly, "Why are you running here instead of staying in the safe zone? From what I can see from your style of doing things, you still don't like to get involved in trouble."

Li Ke told Xiao Yi about his people's loss of contact, and then said: "I want to meet someone who knows the situation, or if you have found out some information, can you tell me some."

Xiao Yi looked at Li Ke with complicated eyes for a while. The woman opposite him had a calm look, and it was obvious that she just treated him as an ordinary friend.

After nearly dying for half a year, Xiao Yi's mentality changed. Matters between men and women were not worth mentioning compared with his current mission. But when he saw Li Ke again, Xiao Yi realized that she was still a little special to him after all.

Although they have changed a lot in this life, it can be said that nothing has happened between them, and there are no regrets from the previous life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi looked at Li Ke opposite him, feeling a little dazed. He once again doubted whether the memory that was triggered when he was on the verge of death was a beautiful and cruel dream, or a parallel world that really happened.

But no matter whether it was true or not, Xiao Yi was very sure that the person in front of him had never chosen him, whether it was the compromise in the dream or the estrangement in this life.

Xiao Yi's heart was filled with regret, relief, and complexity. In fact, he had let go of a lot. When he died in his dream, his longing and concern for the person in front of him reached the extreme.

In the threat of death in this life, all kinds of memories were mixed together. He felt pain and regret. During the long process of body repair, he had been persuading himself to let go because he knew that Li Ke didn't like it.

In such a world, many unwilling relationships between men and women will occur. If it weren't for that overly real dream, Xiao Yi might have been a little bit forceful when they met again.

But after seeing Li Ke again, Xiao Yi knew that he had no chance, because she had grown into the person she wanted to be and did not rely on anyone.

Xiao Yi came back to his senses under Li Ke's inquiring gaze. He spoke with some friendship as if they were old friends: "You know, I was on a mission. If it weren't for the fact that we were teammates, you would have been sent back."

Li Ke said stubbornly: "I can't come here for nothing, and our ransom can't be given for nothing."

There were footsteps approaching the door. Neither of them spoke again. After a knock on the door, someone stood outside: "Captain, dinner is ready."

Xiao Yi opened his mouth and ordered: "Send the double portion over. I will have dinner with Base Captain Li."

Li Ke said with a refusal: "I'm not that hungry, and I don't want to eat yet."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Eat a little bit, just think of it as keeping me company. We can talk after we finish eating."

Dinner consisted of two large bowls of thick soup that looked like boiled sweet potatoes, and a small basket of whole-grain cakes. Xiao Yi had someone bring in water for him to wash his hands.

The two of them shared a basin of water. Li Ke noticed that Xiao Yi only washed his left hand, and his right hand was still wearing a black leather glove, which was not normal in such hot weather.

While eating, Li Ke watched Xiao Yi eat first. He used his left hand with skillful movements, but his eating speed was still much slower than before.

Li Ke felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. Xiao Yi in front of her seemed to have not changed, but she felt that he had changed a lot.

To her, it seemed that he had lost some of the lone wolf madness he had before, and had more of the casualness and relief of an ordinary person. Thinking of his right hand resting on his knee, Li Ke didn't know what had happened to Xiao Yi.

Although I had heard that he seemed to have experienced a very thrilling death experience, but at that time they met again in a hurry and were well with each other, so I didn't think much about it.

Xiao Yi took a few bites before looking at Li Ke: "Why don't you eat it? This soup is very sweet and delicious."

Li Ke smiled and said, "It's too big. I ate something on the way here. I can't finish this. I have to share some of it."

While being detained and waiting, Li Ke was bored and ate a lot of snacks and pastries. She was not really hungry at the moment. She had always cherished food and avoided wasting it.

Since she was sure she couldn't finish it, she had no intention of picking up her chopsticks. She wanted to eat it all cleanly so that she could leave it for others to eat.

Xiao Yi: "Okay, wait until I give you half, then you can eat."

The two of them now get along with each other in a rare relaxed and comfortable way.

After dinner, Xiao Yi asked Li Ke again: "Are you sure you don't want to go back? It's hard to get news about your companions right now, but as far as I know, there are many useful people who were sent overseas by them. It's hard to say whether they can be rescued."

Li Ke frowned: "Can't you explain it more clearly?"

Xiao Yi looked at Li Ke: "If you want to know more, you have to join us. If you do this, your future life will not be easy."

Li Ke fell silent after hearing that. Xiao Yi thought of the thick brown paper bag. If it weren't for this information that made him more alert, he would have died in a sneak attack by his own people. Although it could be considered a death, he still survived.

He sighed and said, "I will return to the island to interrogate some people in a while. You can go with me. After the interrogation, you can make a decision."

Li Ke felt that Xiao Yi was using his privilege on her, and she certainly would not refuse it arrogantly. This was the reason why she came back, and it would be stupid not to agree at this time.

Li Ke: "Thank you."

Xiao Yi had a complicated expression: "Actually, I should thank you. You are the one who helped us a lot."

Some things are inconvenient to say, as long as the two of them know it, Li Ke changed the subject and asked, "Is your right hand injured?"

Xiao Yi used his left hand to draw a line on the right side of his body, from near the neck to the waist and abdomen: "This half of the body is gone. I replaced it with a mechanical one, and it's working pretty well now. If you want to join our team, you have to get past me."

When Li Ke saw the piece he was gesturing at, he could already imagine what difficult process he had gone through to survive.

Xiao Yi said it easily, and Li Ke also said casually: "Okay, let's compete when the time comes. I think I am terrifyingly strong now."

Xiao Yi looked at Li Ke's serious expression, feeling angry and amused at the same time. This woman was really unromantic and didn't know how to feel sorry for him.

After more than half an hour on the speedboat, Xiao Yi and Li Ke returned to the island. The area with wooden stakes had been cleared, but Li Ke still felt a lingering bloody and dark atmosphere when he passed by there.

Seeing the change in Li Ke's expression, Xiao Yi knew that she was thinking about those horrific scenes. He said, "The chief here, Ruan Bang, is a coward and cruel man. He put these wooden stakes at the entrance to shock outsiders and suppress his own people. Many of the dead were captured by them. There were not many captives from outside. The accumulated deaths and killings led to that scene."

Li Ke was silent for a while before saying, "It would be too easy for such a person to just kill him."

Xiao Yi thought to himself that he would not get away with it, as there were many things he could do with this kind of person. However, since it was a secret, he could not say much and just nodded.

After getting off the boat, Gotan, Ruan Chun, and Xiao Yi's subordinates waited on the shore. Li Ke changed into the same combat uniform as the people on the island and put on a mask, following Xiao Yi. As it was night, Ruan Chun did not recognize her.
