Under the leadership of Zhao Dabao, Dean entered the hinterland of the modern, no, to be precise, futuristic metropolis. The moment the train came out of the ground, Dean had a feeling that he was riding a time machine to return to the old era. The familiar three-dimensional box buildings, traffic lights, roads … everything was projecting the shadow of the old era.
"Is this the last shelter of the old era survivors?" Dean looked at it in a daze. Suddenly, there was a kind of inexplicable gratification and sadness. His father gave him the super chip, but he inexplicably appeared in a giant wall of the Shenluo Empire, where he experienced hardships. If this was the place where he woke up at the beginning, would he have lived a happy life in the past ten years?
He thought for a while, but soon shook his head. Even if he woke up here, his life would be a hundred times more comfortable. I will never meet her in this life. What's the point of everything?
After a while, Zhao Dabao brought Dean to a magnificent hospital. The reason why it was magnificent was that the hospital was like a university. In front of the hospital stood a ten-meter stone tablet of the God of Science and Technology. There were gardens, grasslands, pools, and beautiful birdwoods. The main entrance of the hospital was extraordinary. The pedestrians were in a hurry, but they were orderly. Only a faint smell of medicine floated out from the inside, which made Dean frown slightly.
Zhao Dabao rushed into the hospital, took the elevator, and came to the front desk on the 24th floor. "We are Su Mingzhu's family members. Which operating room is she in?"
"Please show me your ID." The nurse at the front desk said expressionlessly.
Dean handed over his wristwatch. This wristwatch was not only a communicator, but also recorded a lot of information related to him. It was equivalent to an identity card.
The nurse at the front desk scanned the wristwatch with an instrument, and Dean's identity information popped up on the computer. She glanced at it, and her face suddenly changed color. She looked at Dean in surprise and quickly said, "It turns out to be Mr. Mecha. Hello, your sister Su Mingzhu is in room C-8. Please come with me." After that, she came out from the front desk and personally led the way for Dean.
Dean asked as he walked, "Has my sister's operation started?"
The nurse shook her head. "Not yet. The family hasn't arrived yet, and the money hasn't arrived yet. So she is temporarily recovering."
Dean was furious. "Isn't the situation critical? Why don't you perform the operation first?!"
"This is the rule, please forgive me," the nurse said while trembling with fear.
Dean was full of anger. He followed him to room C-8, opened the door, and saw that there were four beds in this ward. There were metal covers around the beds, isolating the beds. It was quite high-end, but Dean turned a blind eye to it and said angrily, "Why not a separate ward?!"
"Sir, your sister's medical expenses have not been paid, so …" The nurse was embarrassed, but her good impression of Dean was gone. She secretly despised him. Pretending to be angry, he was obviously a mecha operator, but he did not pay his sister's medical expenses, and he still has the face to blame me!
Dean clenched his fists. Under the guidance of the nurse, they came to a bed covered with a white metal cover. He saw the nurse press the metal cover. Inside was a pale girl wearing a hospital gown, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Brother?" When the girl saw the face outside the metal cover, she couldn't help but be startled. Then, she exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "You're here!"
Dean's heart was slightly touched. He suddenly thought of his sister. He took a deep breath and stepped forward to hold her hand. "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely cure your lung cancer!"
When he entered the ward, he used his x-ray vision to scan the situation in the room when the nurse and Zhao Dabao were not paying attention. The other three beds were occupied by two old men and a middle-aged woman. Only this girl matched his sister's age, so he confirmed her identity and took the opportunity to scan her body. At a glance, he could see that Su Ming's sister had lung cancer. The area where the cancer cells had spread was not small, and there were traces of resection. Obviously, she had an operation before, but the cancer cells had not been eradicated.
Generally speaking, the probability of women getting lung cancer was very low. After all, women did not like smoking as much as men, let alone such a young girl.
Although Dean was puzzled, he soon thought that it might be because of the environment. He needed to know more about it.
Hearing his words, Su Mingzhu bit her lips slightly and whispered, "Brother, I've caused you trouble again."
Dean rubbed her head. "Fool, this is no trouble. I've even killed demons. How can I not overcome this little disease in your body?"
Su Mingzhu smiled. "I know, brother. Don't worry. This time the situation is not that bad. I can still be saved."
Dean could not help but smile, but he did not continue to talk with her. He turned to the nurse and said, "How much is the operation fee?"
"I don't know the specific amount, but if your sister has lung cancer, the operation fee is generally between 200,000 to 400,000 federal coins." The nurse quickly said.
Dean frowned and his face slightly sank.
"Do the operation first. I'll help you get the money." At this time, Zhao Dabao said, "You just paid off your debt. You can pay me back when you get your salary next month."
Dean looked at him. He knew that Zhao Dabao said this not because he wanted him to pay back the money, but because he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem. Although Su Ming was dead, he still had a good brother. However, he felt that it was not necessary. Even if Zhao Dabao did not give him face, he would kneel and beg for money to treat his sister. In the face of life and death, how much was face worth?
"Thank you." Dean patted him on the shoulder. In his heart, he secretly thought that Su Ming was most likely a guy who cared about face. Otherwise, he would not let his brother care about face so much.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Dabao was relieved and immediately ordered the nurse.
Soon, the doctor came and sent Su Mingzhu to the operating room.
Dean and Zhao Dabao waited outside. Dean secretly calculated in his heart. He did not expect Su Ming to still be in debt. No wonder a mecha operator had no money to treat his sister's illness. But speaking of which, mecha operators were considered to be a profession of guarding the border. How could his relatives not get free medical treatment? He felt that it was necessary to go back to the army to familiarize himself with the treatment and benefits of mecha operators. By the way, he could understand the social structure here through the military.
Not long after, Su Mingzhu was sent out. Dean glanced at her with his X-ray vision and found that the cancer cells in her chest and lungs had been removed. His heart was relieved. Although the fees here were high, the medical level was much better than in the old era.
"Stay in the hospital and recuperate. I have to go back to report. I can't accompany you anymore. I'll see you when things are over." Dean said goodbye to his sister.
Su Mingzhu was very weak. She barely said a few words and fell asleep.
After walking out of the hospital, Dean was secretly relieved. He knew that the danger had finally passed.
"Let's go back." Dean said to Zhao Dabao.
Zhao Dabao nodded. He helped the injured Dudian to ride the railway in the city and went back and forth.
When it was dark, the two returned to the military headquarters.
The military headquarters was in a remote suburb outside the city. It was very secretive. There were sentries hidden within a hundred miles of the military area. There should be a lot of technology monitoring this place. When the two entered the military base, they needed to enter the iris and scan their identity.
Dean let Zhao Dabao go first. After the scan, he quickly took out Su Ming's eyeball and swayed it over the iris. The scan passed.
Su Ming's eyeball was completely frozen at the moment. It was not rotten. Dean used the heat control ability of the Sun Beast magic mark to lower the temperature around the eyeball. He froze it out of thin air.
The underground base was like the intestine of an insect machine. There were intricate passageways and checkpoints. Many of the checkpoints on the periphery needed to be scanned.
Dean was worried that there were surveillance cameras in the passageways. Before the scan, he secretly retracted one of his eyeballs into the soft tissue of the skull. Then he pressed Su Ming's eyeball into his eye socket. It felt very cold and uncomfortable, but it was still within the range of his pain tolerance.
