In the emergency center, five or six top attending doctors from the military region were all working together to force a young man covered in blood on the operating table. His body was full of needles, and other than the normal data on the electrocardiogram that showed he was still alive, his face looked like a dead person.
Outside the emergency center, two soldiers in tattered clothes with blood on their faces were waiting. The two of them were like ants on a hot pan, unable to calm down at all.
The longer it took, the more difficult the surgery was.
The two of them waited for a full two hours before the door of the operating room finally opened. The two of them, along with their superiors and instructors, all went up and surrounded the doctors.
"How is it?"
Four of the five doctors sighed and left first, leaving only one to say to them, "We saved him."
The two comrades and the other instructors all let out a sigh of relief. The instructor saw that the doctor's face didn't look too good, and it seemed like he didn't finish his sentence.
"Are there any sequelae? What's the possibility of recovery? "
"Sigh." The doctor sighed. "External and internal injuries aren't a big problem, but the most serious is the genetic fluid injected into his body. It's the first time we've seen something like this. Strictly speaking, that genetic fluid is a defective chemical, and it was too late to save him, causing the serum to fuse with his blood, completely hindering his bodily functions."
"This …" The instructor and the other two comrades had a bad feeling.
"What do you mean by 'bodily functions'? You mean it will affect his overall strength? "
The doctor nodded. "And it's not a small one. You guys can check it out later. I'm sorry, it's such a pity for a soldier like him!"
After the doctors left, the other instructors and comrades all didn't look too good.
The two comrades covered their faces and turned their backs to the wall, and one of them punched the wall, causing blood to ooze out.
"It's all my fault!" He said with bloodshot eyes, "Big Brother Cheng told me to evacuate, it was me …"
It would've been better if he didn't say it, but as soon as he said it, one of the instructors grabbed his collar and said, "Before the mission, I told you guys to listen to Xu Cheng's orders, especially for such an important mission. Did you eat the words' obey orders' into your stomach?"
"I … I just wanted to get a souvenir to commemorate the success of this mission. Who knew there would be a survivor!"
The superior sitting on the opposite chair asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Another comrade squatted there and said quietly, "Brother Cheng told us to retreat. When Luo Yi turned around to get something symbolic, an old biology researcher ambushed him. Brother Cheng knocked Luo Yi down, but the old biology researcher injected a large amount of semi-finished experimental chemical into his back with a crossbow."
After the superior heard this, he looked at Luo Yi and said, "You can't escape responsibility for this matter."
Luo Yi said, "I only feel sorry for Brother Cheng."
The instructor scolded, "It's useless to say all this nonsense. Go in and take a look."
The two comrades then got up and walked into the ward.
The instructor who was left behind looked at his superior and asked, "Can he still join the Dragon Division like this?"
The leader couldn't help but say, "The assessment mission was completed perfectly, and we also completely annihilated that research base. But if Xu Cheng's various abilities drop, you know the Dragon Division won't take in useless people. Let's wait for the assessment team to test his overall abilities first. But, you have to be prepared for the worst. Of course, don't be discouraged. You recommended the three of them to the Dragon Division, but don't you still have the other two? They also completed this mission, so they can join the Dragon Division's reserve team. "
The instructor's face didn't look too good, but he could only lean against the wall and take out a cigarette.
Luo Yi, who was leaning against the door and listening to their conversation, had tears rolling down his face. In fact, the other comrade who was sitting by the window also guessed this result. He didn't say anything and just helped the unconscious Xu Cheng with the quilt. He didn't want to say anything more, but he already gave Luo Yi a good beating on the way to the hospital.
The next day.
When Xu Cheng came out of the physical examination room and waited for the test results, he was wiping his sweat with a towel on the balcony. Luo Yi sat there without saying a word, and his eyes were red. He didn't dare to listen to the results of the test that would separate the three of them. As his best buddy, without Xu Cheng, it would be the same as disintegrating. Xu Cheng also sat down and didn't say anything.
The person in charge of the examination room came over with a document and said to Xu Cheng, "It's not ideal, do you want to know the results?"
Xu Cheng nodded and forced a smile. "Go ahead."
"Your explosive power, speed, and strength have all dropped from A rank to C rank."
Most people's body functions and explosive power would only reach E +, and the more robust ones would reach D, while athletes and extreme athletes could reach D +, and above that, C and C +. Then B, B +, A, A +, S …
And Xu Cheng's current C meant that his strength was slightly higher than the average person's, which was a far cry from the minimum requirement of B to enter the Dragon Division. No wonder the examiner didn't have the heart to tell him.
Xu Cheng still had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of bitterness.
After the examiner left, Luo Yi sat there crying.
Xu Cheng went over, patted his shoulder, and sighed. "You have to learn how to take care of yourself in the Dragon Division. In the future, listen to orders, and don't play around anymore."
"Big Brother Cheng …" Luo Yi sobbed and hugged Xu Cheng. "I'm sorry!"
Xu Cheng patted his back, let go of the hug, and walked down the stairs. Luo Yi looked at Xu Cheng's back, feeling so sad and lost. Xu Cheng came to the gate and saw another comrade of Trident. Xu Cheng smiled at him and said, "Do a good job, I will be proud of you two."
Li Wei nodded. "I will wait for you in the Dragon Division."
Saying anything more would make him seem pretentious. Just one sentence was enough to show their trust in Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled and walked back to his dorm to pack his stuff. He wasn't a pretentious man, and if he didn't meet the standards, then he didn't meet the standards. Failing meant being eliminated, and he wouldn't stay here and let people play the emotional card to make things difficult for him.
After packing his clothes, Xu Cheng looked at the framed photo of the three of them on the table. In the end, he still put the photo frame into his suitcase and left the dorm.
– Inside the instructor's office –
"Xu Cheng, can you not leave? Although your strength has dropped, you can still stay and be an instructor to manage those new recruits. "
"Boss, I just want some peace and quiet, don't try to make me stay." Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
The instructor helplessly sighed, and then he took out a report and said, "I believe you will overcome the difficulties and come back again. This is a position I arranged for an old friend of mine at the Public Security Bureau in your hometown. If you want a stable job, just take this report and report to the Shangcheng Police Department."
"Thanks." Xu Cheng saluted at him and didn't say anything else. Then, he took the report and left with his luggage.
He left because he didn't want Luo Yi and the others to feel guilty. In order to get into the Dragon Division, they had worked so hard for so many years, and he couldn't let them reject the call of the Dragon Division just because of him.
When he came to the gate of the military base, Xu Cheng turned around and looked at the base where he stayed for five years. This didn't mean it was over, and he would come back. Entering the Dragon Division was his biggest dream as a soldier! If he were to give up just because of an accident like this, he wouldn't be Xu Cheng. If that was it, then he wouldn't be Xu Cheng!
He grinned and said to the instructor and the others, "I will come back!"
