Chapter Fifteen: Face-to-Face Without Recognition (Middle)

  But doubts aside, now is not the time for inquiry. The agent in front of him was already unconscious, his clothes were not thick, his skin was pale, his body curled up, and large patches of light red spots had appeared on his body.

  This is exactly the symptom of freezing to death!

  Without daring to delay any longer, Zhang Fan probed forward and picked him up, turning around to rush towards the small hut. The body in his hands was on the verge of life and death, and if he delayed for another moment, even if all the world's medical authorities were gathered here, there would be absolutely no possibility of saving him.

  As soon as Zhang Fan returned to the house, he closed the door and took off all the clothes of the person in his hands. Fortunately, he had lit a fire in the house earlier, although it had just been extinguished, the temperature hadn't dropped yet. Moreover, the insulation conditions in the house were excellent, and the temperature wouldn't drop much even if no fire was lit for a while. Zhang Fan had originally planned to open the door directly to let the cold air outside blow in to lower the temperature, but before he could do so, he discovered someone who was almost frozen to death.

  Next, Zhang Fan quickly spread the thick blanket on the bed onto the ground, then turned around and scooped a large pile of snow from outside into the room, rubbing it vigorously on the special agent's body that was about to freeze to death.

  This method was learned from his master when he trained in the snowy and icy weather, but it's not effective for everyone. —— This snow block massage is quite wonderful, according to his master, it absorbs the cold air inside the patient's body as the snow melts. However, if the person receiving this treatment doesn't have a good physical condition, they might let the cold air invade further and cause muscle necrosis throughout their body, not even a god can save them back. But this agent in front of him is clearly not within that range, Zhang Fan was very clear about it, people like them must have gone through rigorous physical training before being sent out, and just by looking at how he managed to persist until they reached this place, one could tell that this guy is absolutely not an ordinary person.

  Zhang Fan's technique was very skilled, and under his powerful massage, it didn't take long for the deadly pale red spots on Te Gong's body to slowly fade away. His body also became much softer, and the slight warmth that had only been in his chest began to spread throughout his entire body, and his heartbeat gradually grew stronger.

  "Uh..." Finally, after Zhang Fan had been massaging for nearly an hour, the person's body slightly convulsed, and a faint moan escaped their lips.

  Zhang Fan let out a breath of relief and couldn't help but secretly praise him. This guy's physical quality is really not bad, even if he himself were to switch places, he might not be able to wake up so quickly. It seems that the National Security system's training for special agents is indeed well-established.

  Seeing that the person was showing signs of waking up, Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and took over the half-bottle of wine he had been drinking by the bed, directly pouring a mouthful into his mouth. Wine is a good thing for relieving fatigue and loosening up the muscles.

  "Cough, cough..." He had probably just woken up and couldn't swallow on his own yet. As soon as the liquor entered his throat, he started coughing violently. Zhang Fan poured wine into his mouth, but it was immediately coughed out, more than half of it.

  Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan finally managed to put a smile on his face. Anyway, this guy's life was saved. The rest of the matter was just waiting for him to speak up and say what had happened. He turned around and sat down on the bed, adding a few pieces of wood to the fireplace with one hand, and lighting a cigarette for himself.

  Although the situation is quite critical now, staying here for a moment means one more risk, but looking at the person in front of him, he must not leave like this. - Don't look at him waking up, if he really leaves like this, it's absolutely a dead-end situation. Not to mention that this guy is now the only clue that Zhang Fan can continue to investigate, even out of morality, Zhang Fan cannot watch him die in vain.

  So Zhang Fan simply made up his mind, no matter what came next, he would face it head-on. He had just cleared the snow from the windows of the house and could easily observe the surroundings from inside. The wooden house was in a good location, with open spaces all around, and with his incredible eyesight, even if there were strong winds and heavy snow, he could still detect any movement within 50 meters. If there was no wind or snow, he could see up to 200 meters away. With such a long buffer distance, Zhang Fan believed that he could escape safely relying on his own abilities. Of course, it also depended on the enemy's equipment. But in this kind of weather, would they dare to send out armed helicopters and other heavy weapons? Even if they did, wouldn't they be afraid of triggering an avalanche while chasing him?

  To know, on this snowy peak, even with powerful equipment, it's impossible to compare with the might of an avalanche. If one is really forced into a desperate situation, going down together in mutual destruction, the opponent's cost won't necessarily be small either.

  Moreover, even if a special agent who had gone missing for a long time suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it's not necessarily the case that they would immediately investigate here.

  These thoughts had gone through Zhang Fan's mind countless times, but his thinking was extremely fast, and he had thought so much in just a few short minutes. He looked up to see that the person on the ground had already started breathing lightly, and seemed to have recovered a lot.

  "Who are you? Why are you wearing this kind of clothes and running here at this time?" Zhang Fan extinguished his cigarette and asked lightly. When this person was just brought in, he only had a very strange single garment on his body, which looked like some kind of summer uniform in a sanatorium.

  He thought for a moment and decided to probe this person first. Anyway, now he knew the other party, but the other party did not know him. This top agent had gone missing after taking on this mission, if there were no other accidents, he should not have known of his existence. Although Zhang Fan was quite confident in the loyalty of this type of personnel, he could not rule out the possibility that he had already betrayed and was being used as bait to lure him into a trap.

  He who does not wish to expose himself need not expose himself, this is Zhang Fan's long-standing creed.

  While he was asking these questions, his muscles and strength had already been adjusted to the best state. As soon as he found any weakness in the other's answer, the first thing he did was to pounce on him and subdue him. A careful man can last long, there is always some truth in old sayings.

  Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf ears, and there was no response. The other person struggled to sit up, but just stared blankly, as if they hadn't heard him at all!
