64 PRIMED FOR BATTLE

The sensation of waking up after a long period of sedation was not unfamiliar to Hu Lei. It felt like drifting the depths of the ocean and then fighting to come up for air. If she did not have enough strength or will to fight the waves of the soporific agent in her system, the drugs would keep pulling, and she would sink into oblivion once again.

Luckily, Hu Lei was not an ordinary person. When she was eight years old, she had been sedated more times than she could count. Moreover, over the years, her use of various drugs and exposure to certain things when travelling had toughened up her body. Therefore, though the potency of the drug flowing through her systems was exceptional, it was not too much for her. It had started to wear off, giving her an opportunity to awake from slumber.
