Eastern Theater of Operations General Hospital.
Wang Peng parked his car in the parking lot and got out of the car. He opened the trunk and took out two large bags.
The bags contained fruits, milk, and some other comforts.
After making sure that nothing was left behind, Wang Peng used one hand to close the trunk. He then carried the two large bags and walked toward the elevator.
Inpatient department, special ward. A nurse in a white coat was writing behind the window.
When she saw Wang Peng walk in, she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and asked, "Hello, sir.
"Hello, sir, may I know who you are?"
"Wang Peng, I'm here to visit a wounded comrade. His name is Li Gaoliang, this is my ID."
After taking the ID from Wang Peng, the nurse frowned and looked at it for a long time. Then she looked at Wang Peng suspiciously.
A national security official visiting a comrade in the army with an ID, this was a bit strange.
After all, Li Gaoliang's identity was a bit special. Apparently, he was equipped with a lot of sensitive experimental equipment. Other than his family, it was difficult for ordinary people to see him.
Usually, the people who came to visit him were either teachers or experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences …
"Sorry, please wait a second."
As the nurse spoke, she stood up and walked quickly toward the office next door.
Wang Peng looked at the security guard next to him and smiled at this serious-looking young man. He wasn't in a hurry. He stood at the door of the special ward and waited.
After about two or three minutes, under the guidance of the nurse, a doctor in his sixties wearing a white coat quickly walked over.
Wang Peng recognized this doctor. His name was Zhou Youde. He came here with Lu Zhou last year, and that was when they met. Apparently, this doctor was also a famous person in the industry. He was a professor at the Naval Medical University and was already a Changjiang Scholar. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't publish many articles, he might have already been an academician.
While Wang Peng was observing Zhou Youde, Zhou Youde was also observing him.
However, rather than saying that it was an observation, it was more accurate to say that it was just a glance. He immediately recognized the face.
"You … I know you!" Staring at Wang Peng, Zhou Youde immediately widened his eyes and said happily, "You are Academician Lu's guard, right? The last time he came, I saw you by his side … "
Wang Peng smiled and nodded.
"You can say that. Professor Zhou, long time no see."
Although he was the driver in name, he usually carried a self-defense weapon with him.
"Please come in … Sigh, you're really something. Why didn't you even pour him a glass of water? How can you just let him wait at the door like this?"
Wang Peng quickly spoke up for the young lady, who had her head lowered in grievance after being scolded by Old Mister Zhou.
"This lady is just being careful. Please don't scold her."
The aggrieved nurse muttered softly when she heard that someone had helped her out of this predicament.
"That's right … How would I know if he's a fake spy?"
"How dare you talk back to me!"
Zhou Youde glared at the nurse. He then looked at Wang Peng and said politely, "Let's not stand outside.
"Let's not stand outside. Battalion Commander Li is now at the rehabilitation center. Come with me."
Wang Peng nodded and didn't say much. He followed Zhou Youde and walked toward the rehabilitation center.
On the way to the rehabilitation center, he saw many people on crutches or in wheelchairs. This hospital was the best hospital in the entire Eastern Theater of Operations. Most of the people sent there were soldiers.
Wang Peng looked away from the patients receiving rehabilitation treatment and looked at Professor Zhou next to him.
"How's Commander Li's recovery?"
Zhou Youde nodded and said in a rather emotional tone, "I can't believe it myself. With his injuries like that, it's already a blessing that he can lie in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Even the chief surgeon who operated on him said that he didn't expect that he could recover to this state. Whether it's walking, running, jumping, or even playing basketball, there's no problem at all. His reflexes are even faster than the average person. "
Actually, this was an understatement.
It was completely made of titanium alloy and had an electrically driven motion system. As long as the person adapted to the neural interface prosthesis, it would be easy for him to run at Usain Bolt's level. As for jumping, forget about dunking at the free throw line, he could even dunk at the three-point line …
Of course, then again, it was obviously impossible to participate in the Olympics wearing this set of equipment. This plug-in was worse than doping.
Zhou Youde paused for a second and looked at Wang Peng. He then spoke in a solemn tone.
"… You have to thank Academician Lu for me! That neural interface system is a blessing for paralyzed patients! Once this technology matures, I don't know how many people will be saved and how many families will be saved!
"I will pass on your gratitude to Academician Lu. I believe he will be happy that he helped so many people."
Looking at Wang Peng who had made the promise, Zhou Youde nodded in satisfaction.
"Mhmm! I'm counting on you! "
They soon arrived at the rehabilitation center.
There wasn't anyone inside, or rather, there was only one person.
A man in a vest was standing in the middle of the wooden floor. He was gesturing in the air with his bare hands. Most people wouldn't be able to tell what he was doing. His movements were uglier than a tortoise's. However, Wang Peng had been in the same unit with him before, so he recognized this set of boxing techniques.
Of course, what was surprising wasn't that his boxing technique wasn't the slightest bit rusty. It was that not only were his moves like a tiger, but his steady and vigorous steps didn't seem like he was injured at all. His movements were even faster than the average person.
It was hard to evaluate his fists.
But his legs …
Wang Peng estimated that even if he took a direct kick, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Zhou Youde was about to shout and stop Li Guangliang, who was training, but he was stopped by Wang Peng.
"Let him continue."
"Okay, you guys talk. I have something to do, so I won't be watching him practice."
"Mhmm, take care."
Wang Peng nodded and watched Zhou Youde walk away. He then looked back at the center of the rehabilitation center.
About two minutes passed by.
After a set of movements, Li Guangliang stood up straight. He was about to pick up the mineral water on the ground to drink when he heard a familiar cheer from the door.
"Good!"
Li Guangliang turned his head and saw Wang Peng looking at him with a smile. His eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't pick up the mineral water and walked toward the door.
"Yo, how come you have time to come here?"
"It's finally time to rest, so I came to see you. How are you feeling? How do you feel? "
Li Gaoliang laughed and said, "I can't be better. I'm pale. Come on, I'm practicing, let's spar."
"Come on, wait until you return to the team. If I knock you down, don't blame me for bullying you." Wang Peng smiled and shook his head. He then placed the gifts in his hand on the floor.
"Originally, Professor Lu planned to visit you in person, but he was sent to training these days. I bought one of these gifts, and he asked me to bring the other one. Since you're recovering so well, I won't bring them to the ward. You can bring them to the ward yourself. "
Li Gaoliang looked at the pile of gifts and sighed.
"Oh, you guys are too polite."
Wang Peng shook his head and spoke in a serious manner.
"I'm not being polite, this is what we should do. Also … "
He paused for a second and put on a serious expression.
"In addition to visiting an old friend, I also came with a mission."
Li Gaoliang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mission? I can return to the team? "
"You can choose to return to the team." Wang Peng corrected his statement and continued, "The General Staff Department wants me to ask for your opinion. After you leave the hospital, you have two choices. One is to be promoted and discharged according to the regimental rank. Then, according to the local regulations, you will be demoted by half a rank …"
Li Gaoliang raised his hand and interrupted Wang Peng. Without hesitation, he said, "I'll listen to the second option. I'm only in my thirties, would you be willing to retire like this?"
"I knew you would say that." Wang Peng sighed, paused, and continued, "The second option is to respond to Beijing's request. Currently, the Eastern Theater of Operations is forming an aerospace force, and they are still short of people. If you are interested, you can join. The rank will be the same as before, but there will be fewer people."
"Aerospace force?" Li Gaoliang was confused. "What's that?"
"It's the Aerospace Force …" Wang Peng was also having a headache on how to explain it, but he didn't know much himself, so he could only repeat it. "To be more specific, it's a new force that was established to meet the needs of the times. The combat area is mainly concentrated in areas above the low orbit."
Li Gaoliang: "Bullsh * t! I don't know how to fly a plane! "
"You don't need to fly a plane. According to the higher-ups, even the aerospace force has land soldiers. You should go there."
Li Gaoliang: "Can I go back to my original position?"
"I'm afraid not …"
Li Gaoliang went silent for a while. He sighed and waved his hand.
"Okay then, I'll go to the aerospace force … It's better than retiring."
Wang Peng knew his old comrade would choose this way, so he nodded and spoke.
"Since you've chosen the second option, there's one more thing I have to tell you."
Li Gaoliang: "What?"
Wang Peng: "The organization requires you to report in within two days and complete the basic training as soon as possible. There will be an exercise in 30 days. The entire aerospace force in the Eastern Theater of Operations will participate, including the recruits."
Li Gaoliang looked serious.
"Exercise? New recruits? Can you tell me about it? "
Wang Peng nodded.
"Anti-terrorism, foreign support …
"And hostage rescue!"
