272: Chapter 253: Hospital Ward 272: Chapter 253: Hospital Ward “The meeting is starting, the meeting is starting, we need to convey the spirit of our superiors…stop laughing, be serious during the meeting.” “Captain, stop joking around. At least wait for us to be discharged from the hospital before having a meeting.” The small hospital room is already filled with beds. The core members of the Special Service Team Three from the Ancient City’s Zion District are present here. At this time, it’s the second day after the event ended…almost everything is settled, and it’s time to write a report and respond to inquiries. Judging from the results, this is probably a glorious victory…but from the number of casualties and the economic loss, it’s not a good thing at all. “…The final incident was classified as SS-level (above level 7), suspected Rule-level appearance of a semi-evil god-contaminated event (no eyewitnesses of gods), the Ancient City has confirmed about 700 deaths, more than 2,000 missing (not counting more than 8,000 prisoners), and the economic loss is incalculable…” Most of the statistics in this report are actually from the “Secret Realm’s disturbances” during this time. If a small breach occurs and no one stops it, the losses it causes are limitless. The not-so-good news brought by the captain to the hospital room brought a moment of silence. Everyone actually knows that the losses during this time should be significant, but no one realized it had gotten this bad. “… Let’s talk about something pleasant. The superiors have made a rough assessment of the nature of the event this time, and the evaluation is that we did pretty well. All special agents in the Ancient City will receive two months’ salary as a bonus, one week of paid leave, and a half-level wage increase. This is for everyone, and our specific treatment is still being assessed, but it should not be bad…” Two Divine Power Crystals (Holy Images) of Kerdalais had been consumed by more than half, one of which was carried by the Sophist and went missing (you know what I mean), while the other one of Long Qianlan was found afterwards. Using either as a clue, it’s not difficult to deduce the “re-enactment of the miracle”… and if the losses are assessed based on the events replayed by the ritual of Ascension, they are already at the minimum. There will be no shortage of collective achievements and individual awards afterwards, and now a general assessment is given to soothe the weary spirits. “You did a good job, and the bonuses will be given.” That’s probably what they mean. This is Lin Ci Third Hospital, one of the best hospitals in Zion District, a place that Lu Ping’an is very familiar with. On this floor, Special Service Team Three has one room, Teams Two and Five share one room, and Teams Six and Seven share one room, so people can visit each other when they are free. In other areas, it is mostly like this. Any breach in the Secret Realm is unacceptable. Being able to lie here and hold a meeting is actually a kind of luck. However, the other teams probably don’t have as many members as Special Service Team Three… there aren’t even enough people on duty, so they simply leave it empty and let other teams take over. Hua senior sister and Xue En have frostbite and piercing injuries, which are severe but can be healed in a week or two with the help of a Healer, and there are no reported sequelae. Xia Qin, with her strong Qi, is the most severely injured. Various internal injuries require slow treatment and healing… Lu Ping’an rejected her request for another installment. “You already have two installment for serious injuries, one more? Do you think you’re not dying fast enough?” Since they are alive now, and there shouldn’t be anything urgent in the short term, just take the time to recover. Lu Ping’an didn’t use the deferment of payment for others… carrying debts for no reason is not a good habit. Today, the wound is only one-third of what it used to be. After bandaging the wound and getting discharged tomorrow, there’s a sudden outbreak, making the wound heavier than yesterday (cumulative), wouldn’t that be difficult for the doctor? Since they can receive public treatment now, they should stay in the hospital together, and there are Healers specially sent to take care of them to avoid sequelae. The more he understands the limits of his abilities, the less Lu Ping’an relies on the “healing ability” of deferred payment unless he needs to continue fighting. “Deputy Captain… the original Special Service Deputy Captain Lei Huoren’s treason has been confirmed, classified as an S-level fugitive, two levels higher than the Sophist back then. Should we say he has kept up with the times…” Lei Huoren’s “sacrifice” was not even recorded in the public information. A law enforcer who killed nearly ten thousand prisoners, causing the largest single-event death toll in the entire incident, just imagine the size of the social debate storm it would cause if it were made public. If we look into his background, he was a victim back then and now seems to be purely for revenge. The perpetrators from the past are about to be discharged… It’s better not to disclose this, otherwise it will undoubtedly become a new hot topic. Some things manipulated by some people might even shake the ancient city’s trust in the Special Service Team and the Bureau of Anomaly Management. It’s better to keep it a secret internally. However, the warrant had already been issued, and he was destined to become a notorious outlaw with a bounty on his head… Considering his overall strength and “Water Wings,” he might also be considered a tiger. “How is Shuiyun’s condition?” Despite being heavily injured by her brother, Xue En still cared a lot about the team’s mood-maker. Lei Shuiyun was the only member of the Special Service Team Three who was not in the ward. She had been staying in the intensive care unit for two days and nights without waking up. “The doctor said her body is fine and very healthy, but her brainwaves, heart rate, and spiritual power are quite unstable. She might have suffered some kind of mental attack, but don’t worry, the doctor said she’s fine. She just needs to sleep for a few more days… Avoiding this wave of media focus might be a good thing for her.” Lu Ping’an spoke up. He knew the most about Lei Shuiyun’s condition and also knew that Meow was actually not injured at all… She was in this condition because of her own actions! “Meow’s judgment is correct, the burden of this power is too early for her.” The combination of spiritual power and Spiritualization of the spirit body is not as simple as a mere addition. Just possessing Lu Ping’an had already pushed her to the overload state, followed by another wave of “God’s Descent”…. “She should wake up in another day, her power cannot be used for a short period of time, and she shouldn’t try possession in a month. However, after recovery, her power limit will increase significantly, and her professional training should be speeded up.” Meow, as a top healer, made a more reliable judgment than the 2-tier healer who came to help. All of these were expected, so this power combination was not tested even after being developed… For Lu Ping’an, the fact that it worked on the first try is already a great fortune. Lei Shuiyun’s spirit body had almost burst, while Lu Ping’an’s flesh and blood had almost exploded as well. That less-than-ten-second “fight” resulted in him breaking eleven bones, multiple internal bleedings, muscle inflammation, and soft tissue damage… To be honest, he was actually the most severely injured one in the team, the kind of injury that could have killed a normal person. After much thought, he didn’t give himself a deferred payment… Since he was already in the hospital, it’s better to wait honestly for treatment. The “Accelerated Recovery” from yesterday had already been used, and the effect was decent. Along with various magic potions and medical support, it would take at most half a month of bed rest. It is worth mentioning that the healer’s treatment method is considered a form of “pollution”. That means the higher the limit of a professional, the stronger the treatment method they can accept. The same treatment becomes less effective for high-level professionals. Ordinary people can only accept very limited “healer treatment,” but for powerful beings, low-level healers have little interference methods. Only magic potions and technological treatments are the universal treatment methods. Accelerated Recovery is essentially activating the body’s potential, and it is generally effective. However, this method is notorious for shortening one’s life, so most people wouldn’t choose to use it. Lu Ping’an is even more special… His flesh completely rejects the treatment of other healers, which is useless. Now he can only heal himself. Of course, he could shift the injury to the next month… But since there is publicly funded treatment available, why not use it? His own injuries could be considered as “work-related” injuries. More importantly, the saying goes: with the former Special Service Team Three members being the main culprit, the Sophist as the traitor, and former Deputy Captain Lei Huoren as the accomplice and being heavily wanted, it’s actually “safer” and “more correct” for the members of Team Three to stay in the hospital. Now, they are having a meeting in the ward because the superiors urgently want a frontline report. And that certain person, with one hand in a cast, is still scribbling on a notebook with the other. “Will the report be ready today?” Xia Qin was quite straightforward. Since she didn’t know what could and couldn’t be written, she left it to the specialist. “I’ll try my best…” Lu Ping’an felt a bit helpless. He knew that this was the captain’s trust and support, but this kind of thing was really hard to write. But after glancing at the various harvests in the “courtyard,” his spirits immediately lifted. “I will try hard to write… well! I guarantee there will be no problems.”
