Chapter 661: Medical Treatment!Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the 250 Mecha Clan Middle Second Corps" headquarters where Lingtian Battle Clan was staying at, there would be agonizing screams coming out from the accommodation area every single day…
“You little sh*ts actually dare to force me to take this treatment. Wait and see you… AH!” Inside the temporary treatment room, a bearded, muscular but yet weakened man was tied up to a metal bed frame. No matter how much he struggled, he still couldn"t force himself out of the metal locks on his limbs.
Luo Lang looked up and blinked a few times. He looked very innocent, but his words were very insulting, “What are you screaming about? Trash like you guys are considered lucky to have Brother Yu use the medicinal agents he had invented on you.”
“Who asked for treatment a.s.shole?” the weakened man screamed.
Right as Luo Lang wanted to insult him back, Li Shiyu slammed the medical records clipboard on the man"s mouth area. It hurt so much that the man instantly stopped screaming.
“Since you still have so much energy. Xuya, inject another dose of the medicinal agent from a moment ago,” Li Shiyu said calmly.
“Alright!” Han Xuya cracked her knuckles, took out a syringe and began to take out a vial of medicinal agent from the medicine box.
“a.s.shole, who gave you permission to do this. Stop this immediately! Stop!” The man heard that he was going to be injected again and began to struggle even more violently. After tasting the pain and agony he felt from the medicinal agent, he of course didn"t want to feel it again. He would definitely be tormented to insanity by the indescribable pain…
“Okay! I won"t insult or yell anymore. I"ll never do it again. Dr. Li, please let me off the hook this time. I will cooperate with the treatment. I definitely will…” In order to not feel the pain again, the man finally gave up.
Unfortunately, his pleas did not receive any sympathy from Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu hated trash who were full of themselves. Setbacks would make these people give up the talent they were given. These people let themselves become trash. This was something unforgivable.
Li Shiyu thought about his eldest cousin brother. In order to recover, his eldest cousin brother had to not only fight against his illness but also forced his weak body to do physical training. His eldest cousin brother never gave up hope. Li Shiyu had once witnessed the terrifying pain his eldest cousin brother went through. The pain these people in their dormitory area faced were not even comparable to that terrifying pain his eldest cousin brother felt. However, his eldest cousin brother never pleaded for release. Compared to his eldest cousin brother, these people were the worst type of trash, and wasn"t worth pitying.
“Inject!” Li Shiyu"s expression showed a hint of ruthlessness. If the patient had continued to insult him, perhaps he wouldn"t be this angry.
“Yes!” Han Xuya received the order, put up the syringe and ruthlessly injected it into the man"s vein, slowly pushing in the medicinal agent into the man"s body.
“Ah!” Not long after, the medicinal agent began to take effect on the man"s body. His face began to show a pained expression as he screamed in an inhuman manner with cold sweat dripping from his forehead like rain during a storm. Not long after, the bed sheet below him was soaked in sweat. His entire body began to squirm irregularly.
Just like that, it continued for three minutes. The st.u.r.dy bed frame the man held onto had already had five claw marks on it. It seemed that the pain that he had endured during this time was more brutal than before… The pain began to cause him to lose consciousness as his eyes were wide open with his pupils dilated. He was unconsciously breathing heavily as though he was very depressed and wanted to make up for his mistakes.
“Have we already broken him mentally?” Li Shiyu observed the reaction the man had with the medicinal agent with satisfaction. He began to write something down on the medical records. This was all experimental data. Every piece of data was precious information.
After feeling that everything was concluded, Li Shiyu handed the medical records to Luo Lang to have him make use of the contents of the records to communicate with the patient.
Luo Lang nodded, showing that he understood. He closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his entire demeanor became more generous and sympathetic. The original complicated expression was now filled with compa.s.sion and sympathy.
Seeing this, Han Xuya immediately tossed out the syringe and picked up the medicine box from the side. She then followed behind Li Shiyu as though she was a malevolent spirit.
“Because you received the wrong information, you sent an entire platoon of ace mechas to their deaths. You felt guilty and blamed yourself for this, but it wasn"t what you wanted…” Luo Lang"s voice was full of sadness. The man seemed to have heard it and began to scream. The sound he made was filled with limitless guilt and sadness even with a hint of depression. It was as though the man was an injured beast who could only lick his wounds and wait for his body to rot to slowly take his life.
“However, when you die, who will be able to remember the heroic mecha platoon from back then? The crime of blindly sending out troops will be forever engraved on this heroic platoon name where they will unable to let the world know the real truth of the matter for all eternity…
“No, no, I"m the one who"s at fault. I"m guilty!” Finally, the man lost control of himself and screamed out the words he had in his mind.
After hearing the ruckus from behind her, Han Xuya shuddered. Man, Luo Lang"s Saint Maria personality was really strong. When combined with Li Shiyu"s strong illusion and pain inducing medicinal agent, even the worst type of trash would become obedient and confess about their “crimes”.
“Whoosh” Li Shiyu opened the curtains of the bed on the side. There was a man who was lying on the bed all tied up. Seeing Li Shiyu coming towards him, he smirked and said, “Dr. Li, you"re here.”
“Senior Colonel Yang Mingzhi, it seems that these medicinal agents don"t really affect you.” Li Shiyu looked through his medical records and frowned.
“I had once gone through training to make sure these medicines won"t affect me. Sorry for causing you trouble.” Yang Mingzhi replied with a smile. He didn"t care about the underlying meaning in Li Shiyu"s words.
Li Shiyu was intrigued. Training against effects of medicines seemed simple as you just need to let the body build up the endurance against the effects of various medicinal agents. However, it was definitely achieved through countless hours of painful torment… It was no wonder that Yang Mingzhi didn"t care about the pain caused by these medicinal agents. His body had already adapted to this type of torment.
It seemed that for Senior Colonel Yang Mingzhi, Li Shiyu needed to change the treatment method. Li Shiyu began to think about it. Right as he was thinking about a treatment plan, Luo Chao walked in. Seeing Li Shiyu planning Senior Colonel Yang Mingzhi"s treatment plan, she walked up to him and stealthily poked Li Shiyu"s back.
Li Shiyu looked back behind him and Luo Chao shot a glare at him. Recently, Luo Chao had become very familiar with Li Shiyu, Xie Yi and the others. There was no longer had the shyness she had at the beginning and conversing became natural.
In the end, Luo Chao"s shyness was only directed towards Ling Lan. Even if she was more familiar with Ling Lan, she would be unable to function once she stood in front of Ling Lan. This also made Ling Lan believe that Luo Chao was a really shy girl. In reality, in front of everyone else, although not as unrestrained as Han Xuya, Luo Chao not the type of shy girl Ling Lan had deemed her to be.
Seeing Luo Chao"s expression, Li Shiyu knew Luo Chao had something she wanted to say. He then followed Luo Chao out of the treatment room.
“Elder Brother Shiyu, after caring for these Senior Colonels for the past few days, I found that some of their medical records were not accurate,” Luo Chao whispered.
Li Shiyu understood what Luo Chao"s words meant. He frowned, “Those records were compiled by many high ranking military doctors together. Those records are typically not wrong.”
Although Li Shiyu wasn"t an expert in the field of mental illnesses, he still knew that a diagnosis determined by so many experts would make it impossible for a misdiagnosis to occur.
“What if they deliberately made those medical experts believed they had these illnesses?” Luo Chao asked.
Hearing this question, Li Shiyu went silent. It was difficult to acquire accurate data for mental illnesses. It was usually determined through the patients behavior, speech and performance. If someone actually wanted medical experts to believe they had a type of mental illness, there was a chance of that happening.
Li Shiyu thought deeply for a moment then said, “Luo Chao, make a list of those you discovered to have this issue. I will observe and study them more closely.”
Hearing her judgment be acknowledged by Li Shiyu, she was very happy. She immediately opened her communicator and sent a doc.u.ment to Li Shiyu, “Elder Brother Shiyu, I"ve already organized it. It includes their behavior during their treatments as well.”
Li Shiyu immediately felt his communicator vibrate. He lifted his hand and took a look. He half-smiled and said, “Luo Chao, you came prepared.”
Li Shiyu always worried that the soft and shy Luo Chao wouldn"t be able to get used to life in a division. In the beginning, Han Xuya and her volunteered to come to his laboratory to help him treat these useless mecha operators. Li Shiyu was worried that Luo Chao would be terrified by the way he treated patients and the painful reactions the mecha operators showed. Now, it seemed that he had underestimated Luo Chao. Luo Chao got used to it very quickly. She was even more used to it than Han Xuya. Not only that, she also noticed small details that even Li Shiyu had overlooked…
As expected, she is great a.s.sistant! Li Shiyu suddenly had a thought. Perhaps he could develop Luo Chao into his own a.s.sistant! Keen and detailed observation skills, careful and good work ethics, and good temperament were all required traits for a great a.s.sistant and Luo Chao had all of them.
Li Shiyu"s compliment made Luo Chao blush with a smile. Without mentioning work, Luo Chao went back to her shy personality.
Li Shiyu stopped the treatment of a few of the mecha operators because of Luo Chao"s reminder. Those who had their treatments terminated included Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi. They were able to walk around Lingtian"s dormitory district at will because they were no longer being treated.
In the garden, Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi met up. They smiled as they walked together shoulder to shoulder.
“Suddenly terminating the treatment. Did they discover something?” Liu Furong asked softly.
“Maybe,” Yang Mingzhi said with uncertainty.
Liu Furong turned his head towards Yang Mingzhi, waiting for an explanation.
“Dr. Li knows that I"ve undergone training against medicinal agents. He"s probably researching for other methods.” Yang Mingzhi replied with a frown on his face. He stopped for a second then continued, “However, it"s also possible that they"ve discovered our real issue.”
“He would dare be suspicious of a diagnosis from that many high-ranking medical experts from the Federation?” Liu Furong had originally believed that a diagnosis given by those people would cause zero suspicion. Now it seemed that it was not the case.
“Youth knows no fear. This is also the reason why each successive generation surpa.s.ses the previous one.” Yang Mingzhi admired Li Shiyu. Although the medicinal agents didn"t affect him fully, he still felt how terrifying the medicinal agents were. If he hadn"t build tolerance originally, he would have fallen into the trap as well.
Yang Mingzhi"s words made Liu Furong frown. He began to worry about whether him faking his illness was going to be found out by Li Shiyu. If that actually happened, he would not be in a good position.
“I think that you should choose to believe in them.” Yang Mingzhi noticed Liu Furong"s anxiousness and gave him a recommendation.
“Will they not report me to gain merit?” Liu Furong laughed bitterly.
“What do think of General Ling Xiao?” Yang Mingzhi suddenly changed the topic.
Liu Furong"s eyes instantly showed admiration. He said sincerely, “Our military"s model soldier!”
“A weakened mecha clan to suddenly have a group of talented and capable youngsters appear. Their captain could even establish a four-star battle team during the recruitment period… If it wasn"t for General Ling Xiao"s arrangement, do you think they would appear here?” Yang Mingzhi asked.
Liu Furong"s expression was shaken, “You"re saying, they are…”
“General Ling Xiao is about to make a move. This is your chance!” Yang Mingzhi said.
“Is it really General Ling Xiao?” Liu Furong"s had a complicated expression on his face.
“Have you not notice that Lingtian Battle Clan"s captain has the surname ‘Ling"!” Yang Mingzhi said these words and left Liu Furong, who was completely stunned by his words.
“Ling? Could he be Ling Xiao"s child? No, no, no, I never heard about General Ling Xiao having children…” Liu Furong was stunned by this information. He knew of Ling Lan, but didn"t connect him with General Ling Xiao. If Ling Lan was actually related to General Ling Xiao, even if he was just a family member, it meant that Yang Mingzhi"s guess was not wrong. General Ling Xiao was about to make a move towards 250 Mecha Clan.
Yang Mingzhi walked to the corridor and turned around to look at Liu Furong. He saw Liu Furong standing in the garden with a hint of happiness on his face that he couldn"t hold back. Yang Mingzhi was happy for Liu Furong as well. If Liu Furong took this opportunity, he would perhaps never have to worry for the rest of his life.
It was just that, was it an opportunity for himself too? Yang Mingzhi could see Liu Furong"s future, but couldn"t predict his own. General Ling Xiao was high in the ranks, very capable and had unwavering morals. However, these were also the reasons why he didn"t dare to drag General Ling Xiao into his own problems…
Perhaps, dying within 250 Mecha Clan was the best future he could hope for. Yang Mingzhi laughed bitterly and walked into the corridor in low spirits.
At that moment, a familiar silhouette appeared in front of him. Zheng Qiyun, the regiment commander of 250 Mecha Clan saw Yang Mingzhi. He then asked him with a smile on his face, “Senior Colonel Yang, is the treatment over for today?”
Yang Mingzhi was originally appointed to be 250 Mecha Clan"s regiment commander. If it wasn"t for the fact that Yang Mingzhi didn"t want the position, Zheng Qiyun wouldn"t have the chance to take the position. Thus, when facing Yang Mingzhi, Zheng Qiyun still lacked confidence.
In actuality, during these past few months, Zheng Qiyun led an irritating life. 250 Mecha Clan that was originally under his full control was now becoming less and less obedient because of Lingtian Battle Clan joining the ranks. Firstly, the confidants he had arranged at different stations in the mecha clan were all making mistakes in their work. This irritated him greatly. If it wasn"t for the fact that these were all coincidences, he would have blamed Lingtian Battle Clan for having something to do about it behind their backs.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief after managing to clear up all the mistakes his subordinates had made, he wasn"t sure why the higher-ups sent an investigator to audit and investigate the spendings of the mecha clan in the past few years. This included weapons, equipment and other storage items…
It was also because of this that he wasn"t able to receive word on Liu Furong"s treatment situation. He managed to send the investigator away for today. This was why he came to Li Shiyu to get a hold of the situation, but he didn"t think that he would get nothing in return. As expected, that genius military doctor Li Shiyu was very haughty. Li Shiyu"s expression of being busy and not wanting to answer any of his questions almost made Zheng Qiyun so angry that he could almost die. If it wasn"t for that fact that he had to maintain his image, he would definitely had spewed out insults.
Of course, Zheng Qiyun held back his anger because the investigator was still in 250 Mecha Clan and hadn"t left yet. If he made a scene now, he wouldn"t benefit from it. After all, Li Shiyu was a high profile prodigy. The mecha operators who had completed their treatment were determined to have recovered enough to do battle again. These operators had returned to train and was now waiting to finish training and see their final outcome.
In short, ever since Lingtian Battle Clan joined 250 Mecha Clan, Zheng Qiyun didn"t have a day of not worrying about something. This made him want to get Lingtian Battle Clan out of 250 Mecha Clan as soon as possible. Some time ago, he had looked for connections to make arrangements to get rid of Lingtian Battle Clan. However, Zheng Qiyun didn"t think that his plans would anger those at the headquarters. Especially Major General He Chaoyang, Ling Xiao"s confidant and the 23rd Division"s First Staff Officer, who knew of Ling Lan"s real ident.i.ty… This was why an investigator had appeared.
Hearing Zheng Qiyun"s question, Yang Mingzhi smiled and said, “Yeah, the treatment finished.” Knowing Zheng Qiyun was someone who was very cautious of Liu Furong, Yang Mingzhi didn"t like Zheng Qiyun and would of course not tell him their real situation.
“Then what about Senior Colonel Liu?” Zheng Qiyun"s real target was Liu Furong. Since he couldn"t find out any information regarding the treatment situation from Li Shiyu, it would be the same if he saw Liu Furong in person.
Yang Mingzhi replied, “He had finished his treatment just now as well. However, I think he went back.” It was just that Yang Mingzhi wasn"t sure as well?
“Oh I see. I"ll go take a look.” Zheng Qiyun said goodbye to Yang Mingzhi in a hurry and then went to look for Liu Furong.
Yang Mingzhi watched Zheng Qiyun left and smiled. Now it was up to Liu Furong to see how he would continue his battle with his opponent. He raised his head, looked at a corner of the room and smiled from his heart.
Inside one of the small rooms in Chang Xinyuan"s laboratory, Han Jijyun and Xie Yi saw Yang Mingzhi"s smile. Yang Mingzhi"s face didn"t show any oddities. People like Yang Mingzhi, who had gone through many battles and was a strong mecha operator, would not be worthy of his nickname of ‘Sagittarius" if he didn"t find all the surveillance cameras after staying at Lingtian for this many days.
“It seems that Senior Colonel Yang wants to tell us the real reason why our Commander Zheng was kept in 250 Mecha Clan,” Han Jijyun said calmly.
“Going by Zheng Qiyun"s background, he was originally not supposed to be taking the position of the regiment commander for 250, this trash clan. Didn"t the Boss find out that the reason he could come to the Middle Second Corps was because he had connections in the 3rd Division? And Liu Furong was also an ace mecha clan"s battle team, team captain in the 3rd Division.” Xie Yi replied. “His target is Liu Furong. We"re pretty much certain of that now. It"s just that we don"t know what secrets are hidden in Senior Colonel Liu"s mind. Even if we let him out into the 23rd Division, we should arrange for someone to watch over him.”
