Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

A feeling of suffocation enveloped Zhuang Xuteng, and huge pressure spread across every inch of his body. There is always a snoring sound in my ears. I can't hear it clearly. I just feel like waves of water from the Pei River lapping on the embankment. Zhuang Xuteng opened his eyes with force. The bright lights above his head hurt his eyes, and the lack of tears made them even more uncomfortable. At this time, he found that his mouth and nose were covered with a respirator, and a tube was inserted into his throat, making a "snoring, snoring" sound.

What's going on here? How did I get here?

Zhuang Xuteng is no stranger to this feeling. When he was a zombie, he lent his body, and he also did the same when he woke up. He has no memory of what happened during this period and can only try to trace forward. The last thing he remembered was that Ta Fu from Ding Xin Magic came to the conference room of Moat Co., Ltd. and called his and Brother Dao's names. What happened next?

He tilted his head slightly. Although his vision was blurred, he could tell that this was a hospital and he was lying on a hospital bed. It was nice to have feeling in all his limbs, but he also felt weak and was still pinned to the bed, unable to move. It seems that only my right hand and neck can move my whole body, and there seems to be something between the fingers of my right hand.

Other patients need to look down, but Zhuang Xuteng only needs to open the Wraith Spirit Jelly. As soon as the mana and the resentful spirit started to move, Zhuang Xuteng gasped in pain. He seemed to be attacked by thousands of needles at the same time, piercing out from all angles in his body.

"Hiss..." The pain finally made Zhuang Xuteng shed tears. The tears didn't feel like water, but like oil, very thick and sticky. He controlled the tentacles of the wraith to wipe away the tears first, and then transferred his sensing ability to the wraith jelly. He finally understood. There was a remote control in his hand. The two buttons were "Pain Relief" and "Call".

Zhuang Xuteng pressed the call button, and a nurse came shortly after. Judging from the nameplate on her clothes, this should be Peicheng Second Hospital, where he and Ge Gongdao once had implant surgery for their mission. "You, you finally woke up." The nurse asked, "How do you feel now? Pain? Or is it like you're sitting in a carriage rocking from side to side?"

Why use the description "sitting in a carriage"? Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly, and then felt dizzy. When he woke up again, he was still lying on the hospital bed, but his body was no longer restrained and the tube in his throat was gone.

The oronasal respirator delivered oxygen with a slightly rusty smell. My mouth was very dry and my throat hurt like a scratch. Apart from that, my body still doesn't have much strength, and I still have a controller in my hand. Zhuang Xuteng looked to both sides. The white curtain blocked his view, but the resentful spirit jelly he reluctantly released could expand his senses. Peicheng Second Hospital, general surgical ward, two-person room. The other person in the room was Ge Gongdao. His whole body was also bandaged, his legs were hung on a rack, and he was lying on his back while Prince fed him juice.

Zhuang Xuteng pressed the "call" button, and "bed 29 call, bed 29 call" came out from the radio in the room and corridor. The nurse was still far away, and Gogongdao was already swinging his plastered arms, anxiously directing Prince to open the curtain.

The white barrier was removed, and Ge Gongdao's big, swollen face appeared in Zhuang Xuteng's field of vision. "Wash the inner shell..." he said hesitantly.

It was Prince who translated for Zhuang Xuteng: "He said: You are awake. Don't worry, the problem on Ge Gong Road is not big, at least not as serious as yours. How do you feel now?"

"Thirsty." Zhuang Xuteng felt it hurt even to speak, so he said as few words as possible: "What's wrong?"

"To put it simply, you and Gongdao were injured by Colonel Taft one after another, and then were sent to the hospital. You were in a coma for five days, and on the afternoon of the third day you briefly woke up for a moment, and then fainted again. However, It's good to wake up and there is no fever. The doctor is very confident in your recovery."

While explaining to Zhuang Xuteng, Prince poured him a glass of water. The water is placed by the bedside and can be given to him at any time, but he needs to wait until the doctor and nurse come to check.

After the doctor from the Second Hospital rushed over, he first looked at the ECG monitor, then used a dazzling flashlight to shine a burst of output into his eyeballs, and then asked him how he felt. Zhuang Xuteng was still thirsty, but fortunately he was allowed to drink water.

Even if his throat hurt, he had to swallow it. Zhuang Xuteng drank three glasses of water in a row before he felt better. The nurse helped him rock the bed so that he could lie down and see the condition of his body.

Splint, plaster, and bandages, this is what Zhuang Xuteng is wearing now; ten toes and two hands are exposed, slightly swollen, but it's okay to move, which is the best news. He poked himself gently with the tentacles of the resentful spirit, roughly assessing the extent of the injuries on his body.

"Your survival was all due to adequate preparation, and the Noble Savior Implant played a key role. When you were sent to the hospital, you suffered seventy-six fractures, fourteen organ ruptures, severe concussion, internal bleeding, and burns. ...We thought it was difficult for you to survive, but we still treated you with the greatest skill and enthusiasm. You are quite strong, have no old diseases, and were lucky enough to avoid organ failure this time. The biggest difficulty is to be able to fully wake up. It's over. We will gradually provide you with nutrition to allow your body to function and speed up your recovery."

Zhuang Xuteng listened carefully, and then said: "Finish the water pipe first. Even if I am not beaten to death, I will die of thirst."

"Drink too much, I'm afraid you'll get edema." The doctor said to Zhuang Xuteng with a smile: "A nurse will bring you water and strictly monitor your body temperature. Blood will be drawn twice a day to monitor your physiological indicators. Also, if you need to urinate, call first and wait for the nurse to come - this is also one of the inspection items."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed, nodded helplessly, and then motioned to the clinical doctor with his eyes: "Doctor, how is that guy?"

"It's almost the same as you, entering the recovery observation period. You two are mercenaries and have installed a lot of implants. I heard that you are quite famous. But you must be mentally prepared: if you want to return to your original state, it will take a long time. It depends on luck. This is not a problem that can be solved by medical skills or shadow magic. The two of you were broken up, so if you can put it together, it will be quite good."

The nurse reminded the doctor in a low voice. The doctor nodded and said, "Don't be anxious now. As long as you continue to improve, the longer the recovery time, the better. Control it for two to three weeks first. During this period, you must strictly drink water and eat, and check closely." , you two don’t leave the bed, you can turn over on it at most, and you can only turn over four times a day. I have other patients, and I will come back to see you later."

After the doctor and nurse left, Zhuang Xuteng turned his head and looked at Ge Gongdao, smiled bitterly, and said, "I don't remember how I got here at all. The last scene in front of me was Colonel Taft saying he wanted to weigh my level."

"Spicy hot pot with lotus juice!" Ge Gongdao said four words, and then started coughing.

"That bastard - that's what he said." Prince sighed and said, "He had surgery on his collarbone, and the anesthetic affected his tongue. Don't worry, he should be able to recover in an hour or two. . Alas, this fat man is too big to control the amount of anesthetic."

Well, giving Brother Dao anesthesia has always been a problem. He just needs to urinate to get rid of the medicine. Since he was only temporarily inconvenient to speak, Zhuang Xuteng did not ask him. He closed his eyes and lay back, motionless. If there was a sound from Ge Gongdao, whether it was a question or not, he would raise his finger in response, indicating that he was not unconscious, but just closing his eyes to rest.

In fact, it was obvious: both himself and Brother Dao were beaten to the ground by that Tafu, seriously injured and dying, and were sent to the hospital one after another. Since he can still come to the hospital, it means that the situation at Moat Co., Ltd. has not become particularly serious, and the industry system of middlemen and mercenaries is still operating. And the most important point: this is the second hospital, not the company's interrogation room. This is the best result.

The nurse brought some medicine and put Zhuang Xuteng on an intravenous drip. Zhuang Xuteng asked about the medical expenses, and the nurse said that they were covered by gold members. Since it was covered by the gold membership, it was Lucy who took action, and it seemed that she was fine for the time being.

Zhuang Xuteng was able to stabilize his mind and lie down well, but Ge Gongdao seemed to have a thousand words to say to Zhuang Xuteng. Prince was afraid that he would be tired, so he spoke for him. "I came to the hospital after receiving the news. I don't know what happened to you before. I will tell you that part after Brother Dao recovers - I will tell you what happened after that and what happened now."

"Colonel Taff is an unreasonable bastard, but no one can do anything about him. Dingxin Magic's intelligence snoops broke through the information firewall of the middleman's vault and took away the identity information of all the mercenaries, which allowed him to master a greater advantage.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Xuteng's eyes widened. The identity information has been taken away, which means that the company has mastered the true social relationship of each mercenary, which means that a large number of hostages have been held in the hands of the company. Considering the relationship between the company and the gang, how will the mercenaries work in the future? Do you still dare to work?

"The company has not released the list for the time being. Colonel Taaffe said that the list is the hostage of all middlemen and mercenaries. As long as our group finds out who killed Kaho, the list will be returned, or directly Disappear and no one else will know."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed, feeling a little frustrated at this time. The person who killed Kaho was lying in this ward. Even if no one betrayed them, he would no longer be able to work as a mercenary after the identity list was released. Such a future is enough for him to sigh.

"After obtaining the identity information, all the intermediaries had to listen to them. While tallying up the movement information of all the mercenaries on the day of the accident, they asked the people on the list to report to Colonel Taaffe as soon as possible." Prince lowered his head. , said: "I'm not on the list. I don't know what happened to those people after they entered the Dingxin Mochuang Peicheng branch. A quarter of them died, and the rest were all injured, with varying degrees of severity. "

"Some people are recovering here, and most of them have gone out. You two unlucky guys are the most seriously injured, so everyone will come to see you before leaving here." Prince smiled and tilted his head, and then Touched Ge Gongdao's hair. She said: "Up to now, Colonel Taft of Dingxin Magic still doesn't know the whereabouts of Kaho, nor any other situation, but the middlemen and mercenaries have done what he said and have been very cooperative. If the PCPD or the riot squad were investigating the case, it would probably be over by now. But Colonel Taft is very unreasonable, and no one knows what will happen in the end."

What can be done? No matter how the company rubs it, the middlemen and mercenaries will take the same shape until they are thrown to the ground with a bang and smashed to pieces. Zhuang Xuteng is still pessimistic about the prospects and cannot see an immediate solution to the problem. He then listened to Prince talk about other things, including who came to visit, who came to pay respects, and so on. Finally, Ge Gongdao's anesthetic wore off and his speech ability returned to normal.

"Thanks to the urine. The diuretic juice was prepared secretly. The doctor didn't know." Brother Dao was tired but in high spirits. He said: "Don't be sad. The two of us were seriously injured, but we were one of the best performers in front of Colonel Taft. You played well and once had the upper hand, so Taft had to deal with it seriously and take out A bit of real skill. It took you three punches before you fell."

"Three punches?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head with his grudge tentacles and asked, "Am I going to fall after three punches?"

"I knocked him down with two punches." Ge Gongdao said: "That Tafu has a strange ability. He can suck you in from the air, drag you to him, and then receive a solid punch. The two of us have the opportunity. I can react quickly, and I can take off my strength and dodge. I have a big head and a slower reaction than you, so I was hit harder than you. I fell down after two punches. But in hindsight, the one punch caused the least damage, and you suffered the worst. .”

Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes and didn't know how to complain about himself.

"That guy is a piece of iron with high defense. Even Qingquan can't cut it. The ghost energy bullet will turn when it gets close to him, making it impossible to hit him. I think you poked your finger into his ear, but the energy bullet still goes out. Fei, just made him tilt his head - what a pervert." Brother Dao said: "He fights you first, and I will give you help immediately, but you can't get close to him. That guy seems to be able to control who can get close and who can't, even if he wants to Even beating him up won't work. I don't know what kind of ability it is, but it's probably a shadow follower spell."

Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head and said, "He can push you away and hit me at the same time? Is the gap so big?"

"Nonsense, how much does his implant cost? The company has invested so much, why can't he be very powerful?" Ge Gongdao smiled bitterly and said: "It is wisdom to face the gap. It is normal to lose to that guy. You can only win if you win." The big problem! The two of us had a good fight, using the Shadow Gun, Palm Fire, Qingquan Sword... but Colonel Taft was able to do it with ease and never used his full strength. Originally, he didn't even want to use the air grab That's a trick. I was really embarrassed by you jumping up and down, so I opened my left hand and started to control the field."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "I don't remember it at all."

"The third punch hit your head. To be honest, your head was so hard that it didn't explode. I thought you were dead, and I went crazy. After two punches, I also fell to the ground. Originally, I wanted to continue I was desperately trying, but suddenly I found that you were still breathing and heartbeating, so I fell down immediately and quickly ended the fight."

"You did the right thing." Zhuang Xuteng said.

"When I got to the hospital, I asked the doctors to treat them slowly and leave everything to them." Ge Gongdao obviously meant something, and said: "The doctor said that recovering too quickly will cause an unstable foundation and may leave sequelae. Lucy also agreed with this opinion, so don’t be anxious.”

This means that if he recovers quickly, he might arouse Colonel Taft's suspicion? Are they still being watched?
