The four members of the Black Panther Squad returned to Iron Tank City. With the help of Andy's father's acquaintances in the city guards, they were all admitted to the Chialuna Academy's affiliated hospital.
This was the best hospital in the entire Iron Tank City, with the best doctors.
In the ward.
Garon was lying on the bed, bored to death.
The floor was all white. On the bedside table, there was a lily vase. The petals in it were somewhat withered.
On the right side of the bed was a metal frame with a drip hanging from it. The medicine flowed slowly into Garon's bloodstream through the tube.
He could clearly feel the cold medicine entering his body from his wrist. The room was silent. Only the faint sound of footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside.
Garen was lying alone in the middle of the hospital bed. From his angle, he could see a large number of white flowers blooming on the big tree outside when he turned his head to the side and looked out the window. The noon sun shone down from above, passing through the leaves and forming mottled golden pieces on the floor of the room. The pieces swayed with the wind from time to time.
Click.
The door was gently opened, and a fat nurse in white walked in. She pushed the medicine cart to the bedside and quickly closed the medicine bottle that was about to run out. Then, she replaced the medicine bottle with a new one.
"Your physique is not bad." The middle-aged woman glanced at Garon. "You recovered so quickly from a large area burn."
"My physique has been good since I was young." Garon smiled. "Oh right, may I ask, how are the companions who came with me?"
"I don't know." The nurse answered casually. "I'm not responsible for them. You can ask the doctor."
"Forget it then. I'll take a rest and check on them." Garon said and did not say anything else.
The nurse left immediately after changing the medicine. The door closed with a click.
Garon shifted to his side. His whole body felt stiff. He had not moved at all after lying on the bed for a whole day.
Soon, the door closed again. A young girl of about fourteen or fifteen walked in. She was also wearing a nurse's uniform. She held a big plate in her hands. There were many white food boxes on it.
"Lunch is here. Sorry to keep you waiting."
The girl put the plate on the bedside table, then took a box from the top and put it on the bedside table.
"For lunch, we'll be serving carrots and potatoes … stewed pork skin with potatoes, white bread … no limit. Please enjoy your meal. "
The girl was very pure, and her face looked a little childish. She didn't dare to look at Garon on the bed, and she seemed to be tongue-tied when she spoke.
"May I know your name?" Garon looked at the little girl in amusement. He suddenly thought of his sister Ying Er in the previous world, and his gaze softened. "Can you do me a small favor?"
"My … My name is Wei Xi. What can I do for you?" The girl was slightly straightened out, but she still lowered her head, not daring to look at Garon on the bed.
Wei Xi was a student who came to the hospital to do temporary work. She had just entered Chialuna College this year. This was the best medical college in the city. Although it was only famous in the surrounding area, it was already considered a good environment.
As a child born in a poor family, she cherished the opportunity to intern in the affiliated hospital.
She just didn't expect that among the nurses who interned with her, she was the only one selected for the advanced nursing area because of her good appearance. She specialized in nursing the rich people here.
In the advanced nursing area, if it wasn't for experienced nurses, then it would be for the type with good appearance and body. For the patients here, the experienced nurses were in charge of the actual work, and the good-looking nurses were there for eye candy and to ease the mood.
Before Wei Xi came here, she heard that the patients here were either rich or powerful. She might meet someone with a strong background.
When she thought of this, she became even more nervous.
He wouldn't ask for too much from me, right?
Although that was what she thought, the romantic feelings of a young girl made her involuntarily fantasize that she might meet a noble young master that she liked. He was handsome, cultured, gentle, and considerate. Maybe he just happened to like her type.
When she was in trouble, he would step forward and use his tall figure to block in front of her. After forcing away the bad guy who came out of nowhere, he would turn around and gently lift her chin …
The girl stood by the bed blankly. Her face was red, and occasionally she would let out a few silly laughs.
"Can you please check on the situation in room 235 and 257 for me? I have two friends who are staying in the room there. "
Garon was speechless as he looked at the girl giggling by the side. He used his finger to lightly weigh the girl's arm.
"Hey, hey, are you okay?"
"I'm, I'm fine!" The girl quickly regained her senses. "I'll check on them right away." Her face was red, and she sneaked a glance at Garon on the bed. She was instantly scared and lowered her head.
"Am I that scary?" Garon picked up the lunchbox, and touched his face doubtfully.
The lunch tasted good. The stewed meat was very soft, and the soup was very thick. It tasted quite good.
After hurriedly finishing his lunch, he put the lunchbox aside.
Garon wiped the corner of his mouth and leaned against the headboard. Both of his arms were wrapped in thick bandages, like two white baseball bats. Only his fingers could move freely.
"Am I that scary?"
He was puzzled. He took out a small mirror from the drawer of the bedside table and looked at himself.
What was reflected in the mirror was a round bald head. There was no hair, no eyebrows, no beard, nothing at all.
The originally handsome facial features, under such changes, were indeed a bit scary.
Garon touched the smooth top of his head. His hair was shaved during the treatment, and so were his beard and eyebrows. The high temperature of the flame burned them in an instant. Instead of sticking to his face, it was better to shave them all.
He touched his eyebrows. It felt a bit like the aliens in the movies on Earth, with only white skin and facial features.
Without eyebrows, it gave people a fierce feeling. No wonder the little girl was so scared.
More than ten minutes later, the little girl called Wei Xi knocked on the door and came in.
"Sir, the patients in the two rooms over there are fine. Their conditions have stabilized. Mr. Andy asked you not to worry."
The little girl stood at the door, not daring to come closer.
"Do me a small favor and I will thank you." Garon tried to make his smile as gentle as possible, so as not to scare the little girl. "I'm bored. Can you give me a few copies of the latest Global Weekly?"
"Global Weekly? O … Okay! "Wei Xi quickly agreed." There are some in the reading room. I'll get them for you right away. "
Actually, there were free newspapers and magazines in the room. It was just that they were not new enough.
Garon did not have to wait for long. Soon, Wei Xi ran in with a new stack of newspapers and handed them to him.
"This is your newspaper."
The little girl's soft brown hair was tied into a ponytail. Her slightly developed body was constantly moving up and down as she ran. She ran to Garon's bed, bringing with her a faint young girl's fragrance.
Garon's gentle tone seemed to have an effect. Wei Xi was slightly less afraid and became braver.
"Do you have any other orders?"
"No, thank you, cute little girl." Garon smiled as he opened the newspaper.
As soon as he opened it, Garon saw the most eye-catching headline.
'Ender's diplomat in Orlando was killed.'
He continued to read on.
'A large-scale terrorist attack broke out in Orlando on the 15th of this month. The army of the Orlando Royal Family was defeated in one night. The members of the Royal Family were captured. This terrorist organization publicly announced that they were an association called the Obscuro Society.
In this attack, Ambassador Quelia who was talking to the Royal Family's Prince Ardenburg was unfortunately killed.
Ender issued an emergency statement. Ambassador Quelia's death was a serious provocation to the Ender Empire. The Empire will not let go of any terrorist organization that dares to challenge their dignity. At the same time this article was published, Ender's third ranked General Vylan has led the third army to Orlando to help the local Royal Family suppress the terrorists. General Vylan made an important announcement before the army left. Regarding the current situation, he has … '
Garon put down the newspaper and sighed slightly. He did not continue reading.
"It has finally begun …"
Although the newspaper did not follow up with the news, if he guessed correctly, the Vylan Army would be completely wiped out. The three small Empires would be in chaos again. The scope of the Obscuro Society's war had greatly expanded. It was spreading towards the strongest areas in the East Continent, the Three Great Empires.
Daniela, Kovitan, Ender. The Three Great Empires were the strongest alliances in the East Continent. At the same time, they were where the main forces of the Royal Alliance gathered. The strongest totem users were in the Three Departments behind the Three Empires.
On the surface, the Three Departments were tools used by the Empire Alliance to manage and mediate the conflicts between the countries. However, behind them stood the Luminarists of the Royal Alliance.
He flipped through the Global Weekly again. There was a piece of news on the third page that caught his attention.
'Terrifying wild animals attacking humans in Daniela.' Below the title was a black and white photo. This world already had camera-like technology. The Luminarists' research technology was actually not worse than the scientists'.
In the photo, there was a rat corpse the size of a washbasin. It was being held by a strong man by its tail. The man held the rat in one hand and showed his bitten forearm with the other hand.
The flesh on his forearm was bitten to a pulp. It was a mess of flesh and blood, and it was completely red.
'Recently, there have been many incidents of strange wild animals attacking humans in Daniela. These animals are mostly strange in size, and are more ferocious than normal animals. Biologist Edier of the Daniela Empire Research Institute believes that this is a rare phenomenon of atavism. These creatures, for unknown reasons, would occasionally undergo atavism. Their bodies would become larger, and their temperaments would change and become more ferocious. According to the research, the most likely reason for this atavism is pollution.
Since the report was released, the Daniela Environmental Protection Department has already conducted a sudden investigation on the three provinces that have been attacked. '
Garon noticed that the rat in the photo seemed to have something shining in its eyes. He squinted his eyes and suddenly thought of the Howling Wererabbit that he had successfully evolved. Both of their eyes were shockingly similar.
The Howling Wererabbit's eyes also seemed to be shining with a faint silver light.
Garon raised his head and looked around. The little girl from Vichy had already left and the room door was closed.
He stood up again and walked to the door. He hung the 'Do Not Disturb' sign and gently locked the door.
He then closed the curtains and sat down on the bed. Garon took out a red crystal ball from the clothes hanging on the clothes rack. The ball was only the size of a fist. It looked like a crystal accessory.
Garon took the crystal ball and laid back on the bed.
