Seeing that the situation was not optimistic, Roy quickly gave Weilong an injection of hormones and directed everyone to lift Weilong onto the operating table.
Chapter 14 System: You finally remembered me
As the operating room doors closed, Zhang Hao and the others couldn't help but silently pray for Wei Long.
Inside the operating room, Roy was using sterilized surgical forceps to reach into the bleeding bullet hole and pinch the bullet lodged in the flesh. As the bullet was removed, Deep Blue was about to take a deep breath when Roy hurriedly said:
"No, Weilong lost too much blood on his way here. We need to quickly determine his blood type and see if there are any matching donors outside. We need to give Weilong a blood transfusion right now."
As he spoke, Roy tore off the national flag from the Dragon Combat Vest. The back of the flag was embroidered with the words "Type A" in large characters. He quickly gave the order to Deep Blue.
So Deep Blue quickly ran outside and asked the crowd waiting there:
"Which of you has type A blood? Wei Long is suffering from severe blood loss and urgently needs blood."
Upon hearing Shenlan's words, Mai Xiaowen and Uluru extended their hands.
"Then you two come in first and see what Roy has to say."
After saying that, he led the two inside, leaving the others to wait outside.
"Quick, Roy, Mai Xiaowen, and David are all blood type A. What do you think we should do?"
"We don't need that many people. Mixing them together would be counterproductive for Weilong. Uluru, come sit down. I'm going to draw your blood. Time is of the essence!"
As blood was drawn and supplied, and as time slowly passed, Wei Long's heartbeat gradually stabilized.
"Phew, thank goodness, he's alright now. Let's go out first. I'll see if I can give him some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory pills."
Roy rubbed his eyes wearily and breathed a sigh of relief along with Shen Lan and the others beside him.
As the operating room doors opened, the crowd that had been waiting outside gathered around. Luna asked anxiously:
"Roy, is Veelong alright now?"
Looking at the tense crowd before him, Roy smiled and said casually:
"Oh dear, do you even know who I am? Do you understand the value of a battlefield medic? With me on the job, Weilong will definitely be fine. Make way, make way, I need to find him some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine to prevent the wound from getting infected."
After hearing Roy's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hiss, wait a minute? Where's the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine I put here? Hmm? Has anyone touched the medicine I put here?!"
Before everyone could fully relax, Roy's words made them anxious again. They knew that a large wound like Wei Long's could be life-threatening if it became infected and wasn't treated promptly. That's why, back in the day, Western countries placed great importance on anti-inflammatory drugs on the battlefield; they were life-saving medicines.
"Roy, have you forgotten that last time I was on a mission outside, I got a big cut in the woods, and you gave me a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine?"
Uluru weakly raised his hand from behind.
"Then hurry back to your room and get it. It'll be very troublesome if Weilong's injury doesn't have anti-inflammatory medicine."
Just as the bee doctor was about to calm his racing heart, Uluru said something that devastated him.
"Um, when I asked you how many pills you wanted to take, you told me to take them as needed. I saw there weren't many pills left in the bottle, so I took them all at once. Now there's probably just the bottle left in the room."
.......................
"What did you say! You ate it all? Are you a pig, David? Who told you to take medicine like that? I told you not to eat it all at once, did I? You, this... I... I'll go look for it at Bakshi's place."
After hearing Uluru's words, Roy felt his life was plunged into darkness. Was God playing a joke on him? Such an outrageous thing was something Roy thought only happened in novels, but he never expected it to happen to him today.
This month's supplies are gone. If we ask headquarters for help, Weilong might not be able to hold on before the medicine arrives. There's no other way now but to go to Asara's territory and see if we can get some anti-inflammatory drugs.
“In that case, Uluru and Zhang Hao will stay here to watch over the base and Weilong. You guys form a team and go to Asara’s city center to see if you can buy any antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.”
"Huh? No, I want to go with them too. Uncle Deep Blue, think about it, if they see someone like Brother Red Wolf who looks fierce, they might not give us the medicine. Look how cute I am, I can at least gather information!"
Watching the little guy in front of him speaking so logically and persuasively, Deep Blue felt a headache coming on.
“Let Zhang Hao come with me. Mai Xiaowen and I will take care of him. He makes sense. Sometimes it is indeed more convenient for children to take the lead than adults.”
Roy looked at Zhang Hao and agreed to his suggestion. He had long seen through Zhang Hao's restless heart. He knew that some people could not be contained, just like he had been. He hoped that Zhang Hao would find someone who could keep him in check when he was older.
"Yes, Uncle Shenlan, don't worry, I'll definitely complete the mission."
Upon hearing that he could leave, Zhang Hao jumped up and down excitedly, then saluted Shen Lan and said...
"Alright, alright. Luo Yi and Xiao Wen, you two have to take good care of Xiao Hao. I don't want you to bring me any bad news when you come back, understand? Okay, you two go quickly, don't keep Wei Long waiting."
Everyone: "Yes!"
There was a reason why Zhang Hao was so excited. While waiting outside the operating room, he unconsciously remembered that he seemed to have a system.
"9527? Are you there, 9527?"
9527: (; ?`д??) I only think of 9527 when I'm thinking of someone, but I completely ignore them when I'm not. It seems like they've lost all love.
Looking at 9527, who was sitting there looking dejected in his mind, Zhang Hao could only awkwardly rub his nose. It was indeed his own fault; he had been living a rather comfortable life lately and had inadvertently forgotten that he still had a system.
"Oh dear, I was wrong, 9527. I shouldn't have neglected you like that. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again. Please help me this time. Look, Weilong is in mortal danger. Do you have any methods to help him, like the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill or the Resurrection Pill?"
"Hmph, the things you're talking about only have a chance to appear in the level 5 system shop. You currently have 3780 points. Do you want to spend 3000 points to upgrade this system to level 2?"
Looking at Zhang Hao's wild ideas, 9527 was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Imagine someone who usually forgets about you, spending their days partying with a bunch of frivolous friends, suddenly needs you one day and swaggers over like a big shot, telling you tasks that are basically impossible to complete. Isn't that just making things difficult for this system? This system is too hard, sob sob sob.
9527: Hmph, if it weren't for how cute you are, host, if you neglect me again next time, I'd have to ask you for more.
3000 points? Sigh, all the points I saved up for so long are gone in an instant. But there's nothing I can do. This level 1 shop is really useless. I can only upgrade first.
"Upgrade, you must upgrade! Seeing you get stronger and stronger makes me happy for you, 9527!"
Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, 9527 was momentarily stunned. Was its host really that straightforward? How come it had never noticed before? And it was all for me...?
9527: Happy (* /ω\*)
"Okay, this system will deduct 3000 points, and you will be successfully upgraded to level 2."
After 9527 finished speaking, Zhang Hao opened the level 2 system shop.
"Huh? A radio, wow, a wide-angle lens, a GS5 grip, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine? Two memory sticks."
Looking at the items in the store, Zhang Hao felt somewhat disappointed. He had thought there would be some good stuff, but it was all Little Purple.
Now it seems like a godsend; all that's needed now is to find the right moment to redeem it. This explains why Zhang Hao insisted on taking action together. After all, how do you explain someone suddenly pulling out an anti-inflammatory drug from the Special Operations Department?
Chapter 15 Hello, Said invites you
After quickly organizing their equipment, everyone went to different places to find antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Luna and Terry head to Longbow Valley, where their abilities can be put to excellent use in that vast territory.
Red Wolf travels alone to Baksh. As one of the strongest solo fighters in GTI, Baksh is the most dangerous place among these locations. When encountering danger, Red Wolf can activate his exoskeleton and use smoke grenades to evacuate.
Our protagonist, Zhang Hao, along with Luo Yi and Mai Xiaowen, went to the safest dam, Zero, to search for it.
"Alright, tasks assigned, everyone let's get going."
After disguising themselves, Zhang Hao and his group successfully infiltrated Dam Zero.
"Oh dear, it feels a bit strange to walk into Dam Zero. Usually, we come down by helicopter when we do missions."
Roy stretched and looked at the dilapidated visitor center in front of him.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Let's go check out the campsite over here."
Mai Xiaowen pointed in a direction with practiced ease and spoke to the two people who were looking around.
"Roger sir."
Looking at the two people still joking around in front of her, Mai Xiaowen couldn't help but rub her forehead.
After walking for 20 minutes, they arrived at Zhang Hao's familiar campsite, which was his home when he was a rat at the Secret Dam. It can only be said that God was on his side, as Zhang Hao's gold coins here were enough to fill a mid-level collection box.
"We've arrived. I'm going to talk to the medical staff here. Please don't cause me any trouble, okay?"
Upon arriving at the location, Roy, who had been joking and bickering with Zhang Hao the whole way, became serious. After all, this was considered the safest place in the dam where conflicts were unlikely to occur.
"I'll go to a crowded place over there and ask if anyone has any, maybe I can snag a bargain."
Mai Xiaowen also pointed to the group of people sitting together and said.
"Then I'll walk around and see if I find anything. Hey, don't look at me like that. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."
Seeing Mai Xiaowen and Luo Yi looking at him with deep doubt in their eyes, Zhang Hao quickly began to explain.
"Sigh, alright, remember what you said, don't cause any trouble, okay? Asara isn't exactly peaceful right now."
Seeing that the two started to go their separate ways, Zhang Hao also quietly came to the back of a tent.
"9527, please exchange this for an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine."
After checking his remaining points and then looking at the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine that only required 200 points to redeem, Zhang Hao said to 9527.
"Ding, you have successfully redeemed 1 antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine by spending 200 points."
Looking at the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine in his hand, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Now the problem of Wei Long's recovery was solved. He would check on Luo Yi and Sister Xiao Wen's condition. But no matter what, he had at least secured the win.
A short while later, Mai Xiaowen and Luo Yi returned looking disheveled.
"Sigh, they've run out of all their anti-inflammatory medication."
"Yes, now if they need to use anti-inflammatory drugs, they have to report to the military camp, and then someone will deliver them to them when it doesn't interfere with the soldiers' use."
"Looks like I'll have to go to the military camp after all. I hope I don't run into any conflicts with them."
Roy touched his head helplessly.
"Hmph, look at this!"
Seeing that the two had come up empty-handed, Zhang Hao chuckled and took out the bottle of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine, placing it in front of them.
"Huh? This is...this is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine? Xiao Hao, where did you get this?"
Looking at the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine in front of them, Roy and Mai Xiaowen were stunned and speechless.
“I saw someone acting suspiciously, trying to escape from here. He was carrying a bag, so I ran over and stopped him. Unexpectedly, after he saw me stop him, he suddenly knelt down and begged me not to report him. He said he had no choice but to steal the medicine. I then extorted the bottle of medicine from him. I figured he was at least an adult, so I let him go.”
To explain the origin of the medicine, Zhang Hao spent a long time outside trying to come up with a story to fool them. Unfortunately, before he could come up with a complete plot, the two of them returned empty-handed, so they could only tell him what they had just thought of.
Fortunately, after finding the medicine, Roy and Mai Xiaowen quickly contacted others to say that they had found the medicine and were now preparing to evacuate.
"Well done, little guy. I knew bringing you out was the right decision."
Roy happily ruffled Zhang Hao's white hair. He had no time to think about what Zhang Hao had just said. In his eyes, Wei Long was out of danger.
"Of course, look who our Special Operations Department's lucky star is. Xiao Hao has done a great job this time. Come on, give your big sister a kiss."
Mai Xiaowen happily picked up Zhang Hao and kissed his little face through her mask.
"Alright, let's hurry back, Wei Long is still waiting for us."
Looking at the sky that was about to darken, Roy made a suggestion to the two of them.
"Okay, Deep Blue has sent a message. We're heading to the evacuation point behind the cement plant now. There will be a helicopter there to pick us up."
Mai Xiaowen glanced at her phone and quickly sketched out the evacuation route for everyone.
“Let’s start from here and walk along the roadside, then pass through the substation dormitory, wade across a river, and then follow the perimeter of the cement plant to reach the evacuation point. Let’s get going without delay.”
After planning the route, Mai Xiaowen took the lead and set off towards the evacuation point.
After everyone left the camp, a doctor came out of the dilapidated tent, watched the three people walk away, and dialed a number.
............................
As the three were walking along the planned route, preparing to pass behind the broken wall behind the substation dormitory, Mai Xiaowen, with her keen ears, heard the sound of a bullet being chambered behind the wall.
She quickly stopped in front of them, gestured for them to stop, and gave them a look.
After seeing Mai Xiaowen's gestures and eyes, Roy and Zhang Hao's hearts gradually tightened. This time, in order to hide the two of them, they brought two handguns. Roy took a G17, Mai Xiaowen took a G18, and as for Zhang Hao, he was still just a mascot.
Just as Mai Xiaowen was about to back away and take another route around them, a voice came from behind them:
"Hey, everyone, don't be nervous. We mean no harm. We can put down our guns and talk things over."
Hearing the sounds coming from behind, Mai Xiaowen and Luo Yi exchanged a glance and could only helplessly put their guns back. If the other party had any ill intentions towards them, they wouldn't have needed to say a word; three shots would have been enough to take down three unsuspecting people.
Zhang Hao listened to this voice:
"Hmm, why does that sound so familiar? Have I heard someone speaking like that somewhere before?"
"Hey kid, don't you recognize me?"
