Bai Zhi's petite figure emerged, and she took off her large mask, revealing a delicate face like a doll!
Her skin was so fair it was almost transparent! Her nose was small and upturned! Her lips were pink! Her pure sapphire eyes now held a hint of fatigue, but more so a sense of relief and joy after completing her mission!
"Are you Captain Lao K's team members?"
Bai Zhi's voice was clear and pleasant, with a touch of shyness, and her pure, deer-like eyes looked at Ling Chen and the Ashes Squad members.
"Yes! We are! Doctor Bai! How is our captain?" The team members immediately gathered around, asking anxiously!
"He's temporarily out of danger..."
Bai Zhi revealed a faint smile, warm like sunshine!
"My Revival Power stabilized his injuries and slowed down the erosion of the lava energy. Now, a 'Life Remolding' surgery is underway to repair his body and ability core, which will take some time..."
"That's great!!"
"Thank you, Doctor Bai!!"
"You are truly our savior!!"
The team members were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes! They bowed to Bai Zhi one after another to express their gratitude!
Bai Zhi waved her small hand, a little embarrassed!
"No, no need to thank me. Saving lives and helping the injured is a doctor's duty..." Her gaze fell on Ling Chen, who had been standing silently by the side.
"You must be Brother Lin Chen?"
Bai Zhi's pure sapphire eyes curiously sized up Ling Chen!
"Grandpa Tieshan mentioned you in the communication, saying that you used the Mud Swamp Domain to slow down the erosion of the lava energy, buying precious time for the rescue. You're truly amazing!"
Her eyes were filled with sincere admiration and gratitude, without any impurities, like the purest crystal!
Ling Chen's deep dark eyes flickered slightly, and a gentle and humble smile appeared on his face!
"Doctor Bai, you flatter me. I just did what I should do. Captain Lao K sacrificed himself first, and Doctor Bai performed a miracle afterward. I merely contributed a small effort."
His voice was low and magnetic, with just the right amount of sincerity and an imperceptible hint of fatigue, coupled with his handsome face and deep, gentle dark eyes, making him extremely approachable.
Bai Zhi's small face flushed slightly, seemingly a little shy!
"Brother Lin Chen, you're too humble..."
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "That surgery will take some time. You can wait in the lounge next door. If there's any news, I'll notify you immediately..."
"Alright! Thank you, Doctor Bai!"
Ling Chen nodded slightly.
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Bai Zhi quickly shook her head! She seemed to want to say something else, but an instrument in the emergency room emitted a beeping sound!
"Ah! The surgery has progressed! I need to go in!"
After saying that, she turned and quickly ran back into the emergency room like a startled little rabbit! The alloy door closed again!
Ling Chen looked at Bai Zhi's disappearing back! A cold, playful glint flashed in the depths of his profound dark eyes!
Pure, kind, guileless, and even... a little timid...
A perfect entry point!
He turned!
He said to the Ashes Squad members, who were still immersed in excitement and worry, "Let's go to the lounge and wait. Trust Doctor Bai."
"Mm!"
"Captain will definitely be fine!"
The group followed the guide to the lounge next door. The lounge was not large, but it was very comfortable, with sofas, a water dispenser, and even a small holographic projection playing soothing music and scenic images.
The team members sat on the sofas, still restless, discussing Lao K's injuries and the battle they had just fought.
Tang Yinmeng sat beside Ling Chen, her pupils still showing a hint of tension, but much better than before.
Ling Chen leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.
However, the Soul Jade Physique's cold will silently scanned the surrounding environment like the most precise radar, analyzing the layout of the Central Medical Center, security forces, energy flow, and the omnipresent surveillance network!
He was waiting! Waiting for the right moment!
Time passed minute by minute...
Approximately an hour later...
The emergency room door opened again!
Bai Zhi's small figure emerged! Her face showed a hint of fatigue, but more so a sense of relief and joy!
"The surgery was successful!"
Bai Zhi's clear voice carried a hint of exhilaration!
"The lava energy has been completely stripped away! 80% of the body damage has been repaired! The ability core has also stabilized! Although he is still very weak and requires a long period of rest and recovery, he is no longer in life-threatening danger!"
"That's great!!"
"Hooray!!"
"Long live Doctor Bai!!"
The Ashes Squad members instantly jumped up! They cheered, hugged, and cried with joy!
Ling Chen also stood up! A perfectly timed flash of surprise and relief appeared in his deep dark eyes!
"That's wonderful! Doctor Bai! Thank you so much!" He stepped forward and sincerely thanked Bai Zhi.
"No, no need to thank me..." Bai Zhi's small face flushed slightly! She was a little embarrassed!
"This is what I should do..." She looked at Ling Chen's deep, gentle dark eyes, hesitated for a moment, and whispered,
"Um... Brother Lin Chen, do you want to go in and see Captain Lao K? He's still in deep sleep, but his vital signs are very stable..."
"Can I?" Ling Chen's face showed surprise and a hint of anticipation!
"Mm!" Bai Zhi nodded vigorously! "You are his savior, and Grandpa Tieshan also told me to take good care of him. Come with me!"
Bai Zhi led Ling Chen and the Ashes Squad members back into the emergency room.
Inside the giant medical pod, Lao K floated quietly in a pale green life-sustaining fluid.
The wounds on his body had disappeared, his skin had returned to its normal color, and his breathing was steady and long, as if he had fallen into the deepest sleep.
The medical pod's screen displayed stable life curves and energy spectrums.
The team members looked at Lao K, who was peacefully sleeping inside, through the medical pod's glass, their faces filled with excitement and gratitude.
Ling Chen also stood in front of the medical pod, his deep dark eyes gazing at Lao K inside, with a gentle smile on his face, as if genuinely happy for his teammate's recovery.
However! The Soul Jade Physique's cold will was operating at high speed!
His gaze seemed to be on Lao K, but in reality, it was silently scanning the intricate energy guiding matrix inside the medical pod like the most precise scanner!
Scanning the energy conduits connected to the medical pod! Analyzing the energy core that maintained the life-sustaining fluid!
He was looking for vulnerabilities in this vast medical system! Looking for opportunities to silently access or leave backdoors!
Just then!
Buzz--!!!
Inside the medical pod! An extremely subtle energy-sensing probe connected to Lao K's body suddenly emitted an extremely faint yet unusually sharp alarm sound!
At the same time! On the medical pod's screen! The originally stable energy spectrum suddenly fluctuated violently!
The green curve representing Lao K's life energy vibrated wildly like a stone thrown into water! And a tiny, almost invisible dark red light spot flashed on the edge of the spectrum!
"What's going on?!" Bai Zhi's pure sapphire eyes instantly filled with shock and tension! "Abnormal energy spectrum fluctuation! Detected unknown energy residual resonance?!"
She immediately rushed to the control panel! Her small hands operated rapidly! "Deep scan! Activate! Energy source analysis! Quickly!"
Inside the medical pod! More dense scanning beams instantly lit up! Covering Lao K's entire body like searchlights!
Ling Chen's deep dark eyes suddenly narrowed!
The Soul Jade Physique's cold will instantly captured the fleeting dark red light spot!
That was an extremely faint trace of energy residue, but it carried the imprint of his unique cold will!
It was an extremely subtle trace of Soul Jade Physique's primordial energy that he had injected earlier for precise control when he used the Mud Swamp Domain to suppress the lava energy!
It was like the most precise locator! It had been lurking in Lao K's body! Entangled with the lava energy! Even the Power of All Things Revival had not been able to completely remove it!
Now, stimulated by the medical pod's deep scan and energy guiding matrix, it was actually activated! Producing a faint resonance!
Although this resonance was extremely weak and almost impossible to detect by conventional means! This was the Central Medical Center! With the most precise detection equipment!
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Detected unknown high-dimensional energy residue!"
"Energy characteristics: Unknown! Rating: A-class (potential threat)!"
"Source: From the injured Lao K's body!"
"Location: Deep tissue in the heart area!"
"Recommendation: Immediately isolate! Conduct deep energy analysis!"
The cold electronic alarm sounded like a thunderclap, suddenly erupting in the emergency room!
