Chapter 837: Let’s meet again if fate wills it


Translator: Legge


Actually, before that platoon commander was stretchered over, the soldiers who carried him here had given up hope.


Although they were not doctors, they could still understand that after a person was hacked in the abdomen with an axe and spilled their guts, not even G.o.d could save them, especially if the treatment was delayed for half an hour.


So the soldiers had only cried in front of the hospital because they had lost their rationality.


But little did they expect that with w.a.n.g Jing’s st.i.tching and Ren Xiaosu’s application of the black medicine, their platoon commander’s pale face actually turned pink again.


The scariest thing was that their platoon commander’s crotch suddenly…


A soldier wiped his tears and muttered, “Comrades, a dead person shouldn’t react that way, right?”


“Of course they won’t. Didn’t Platoon Commander lose a lot of blood? Why is he still getting a rush of blood there….”


Ren Xiaosu muttered to himself while applying the black medicine, “So the black medicine can really trigger the other effect when applied on internal organs!”


Since he had never tried it out before, he was happy to learn something.


When a nearby nurse saw this sight, she was shocked. Not only was the almost dead patient’s heartbeat and complexion going back to normal, he was even… getting a rush of blood there.


At this moment, the platoon commander who was lying on the stretcher coughed once. Right after, he opened his eyes and looked around blankly. “Where am I?”


His soldiers were overjoyed. “Platoon Commander! Platoon Commander, you’re awake!”


Then they turned their heads to w.a.n.g Jing and Ren Xiaosu. “Are the two of you doctors of our medical center?”


In the eyes of these soldiers, w.a.n.g Jing’s and Ren Xiaosu’s images were starting to get elevated. Seeing their platoon commander come back to life, they thought these two doctors must have some kind of magical ability to revive the dead!


w.a.n.g Jing said with a smile, “Your platoon commander should pull through now.”


Ren Xiaosu wiped the blood off his hand and stood up. “Although my ancestral medicine is amazing, y’all must not let him move around for the next three days. And make sure he doesn’t head to the battlefield again thinking that he’s already recovered. I suggest that he recuperates for a month first.”


The soldiers were rambling incoherently as they thanked them, “Thank you, we are really very grateful. You two are simply G.o.ds among men!”


At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized the four soldiers who thanked him had actually earned him 12 grat.i.tude tokens in one interaction!


His eyes lit up as he turned around and looked at the medical center. Ren Xiaosu had thought that if the patient had remained unconscious, wouldn’t he have wasted his black medicine on him?


But the situation now was completely different. If all the wounded were to get carried over by their comrades, they would thank Ren Xiaosu even if the patient did not regain consciousness and thank him themselves. Moreover, there would be at least two people carrying the stretchers. This would mean he could receive double the grat.i.tude for every dose of the black medicine he exchanged.


This was simply the best place for him to farm his grat.i.tude tokens. It was double the happiness!


P5092, who had been watching for a long time, said to Ren Xiaosu with a smile, “It wasn’t until this moment that I felt like you were a doctor.”


The blood on Ren Xiaosu’s hands was rapidly drying, and there were also a lot of bloodstains on his body that could not be cleaned off.


Ren Xiaosu cut a sorry figure.


In P5092’s opinion, Ren Xiaosu did not look like a doctor at all before this. He simply did not look like how a doctor should look.


Now that he saw with his own eyes how Ren Xiaosu had saved the patient’s life, he finally believed when Ren Xiaosu had said, “When your comrades get handed to me for treatment, as long as it’s just external injuries and they’re still breathing, they won’t die.”


Thinking of this, P5092 instructed his deputy commander to leave. Then he said to Ren Xiaosu, “You’re a supernatural being, right?”


Ren Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat at the words. “Sir, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand anything that you’re saying?”


“Don’t worry.” P5092 said with a smile, “Even if you’re a supernatural being, it’s no big deal. There’s no need to explain. I can judge for myself. But your awakened superpower makes you really suitable to be a doctor. Everyone says that superpowers are an extension of one’s willpower. Since you were able to awaken a power that can treat and save people’s lives, it shows that you’re a kind person.”


P5092 had jumped to conclusions. He thought the black medicine was a manifestation of Ren Xiaosu’s power.


“What power are you talking about?” Ren Xiaosu continued playing dumb.


P5092 shook his head. “Stop faking it. You should know how our Pyro Company does things. We can still take you away even if we only suspect you of something. After all, this is the Pyro Company’s territory. But don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret for you.”


Ren Xiaosu fell silent for a few seconds before asking with a smile, “Why didn’t you arrest me then? Isn’t the Pyro Company very interested in collecting the DNA of supernatural beings?”


“That was the past.” P5092 shook his head and said, “Do you hear about the Pyro Company capturing supernatural beings nowadays?”


It was Ren Xiaosu’s turn to be puzzled. “Why did they stop capturing them? I really haven’t heard of such things happening lately.”


“Because there’s always imperfections in the DNA of normal people,” P5092 explained. “They’re now only interested in the No. 001 Experimental.”


Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. “The No. 001 Experimental? The one mentioned in Hope Media’s newspaper?”


Of course he knew about the No. 001 Experimental, and he was also aware that there used to be three drops of “G.o.d’s Blood” in the Sacred Mountains.


But Ren Xiaosu could not reveal that he had been to the Sacred Mountains before. He could only pretend that he did not know anything about it.


However, Ren Xiaosu did not understand something. Since the Pyro Company was able to preserve the three drops of blood and also wanted to extract the No. 001 Experimental’s DNA, why didn’t they start with the three drops of blood first? Could it be that they were unable to extract the DNA from those three drops of blood? Thus, they needed to look for the No. 001 Experimental so they could find other breakthrough points from it?


At this moment, the deputy commander led his men to bring over a dozen or so suitcases into the medical center. Ren Xiaosu immediately recognized them as the luggage of the Trinity Inst.i.tute’s group.


“What’s this about?” Ren Xiaosu asked.


P5092 smiled and said, “I’m returning your luggage to you. How else are you going to explain where your medicine comes from?”


P5092 felt that he had figured everything out, that the black medicine was a manifestation of Ren Xiaosu’s superpower. By returning the luggage to Ren Xiaosu, it would make it more convenient for him to explain the source of his medicine. Truly, P5092 was quite thoughtful.


Ren Xiaosu glanced at P5092. In any case, the other party had expressed his goodwill. “Thank you.”


P5092 explained, “There’s no need to thank me. I’m just making the most rational choice in the face of a formidable enemy. With a doctor like you stationed in the medical center at the rear, I’ll rest easier. I’m entrusting my comrades’ lives to your hands. Let’s meet again if fate wills it, but it’s unlikely that I’ll get to see you again.”


Ren Xiaosu wondered, “Why won’t we get to see each other again? Who can say for sure? You could still get injured and be stretchered back here, don’t you think?”


P5092 said, “… You’re even cursing me now?”


“Ahem, it was a slip of the tongue.” Ren Xiaosu also realized there was something wrong with his phrasing.


A few more patients got carried to the medical center. Liang Ce shouted from a distance for Ren Xiaosu to go over and treat the patients. Ren Xiaosu glanced at P5092. “You’ve greatly changed my impression of the Pyro Company. I hope that you’ll survive on the front lines, and I believe that we’ll still have a chance to meet again in the future.”


Then Ren Xiaosu ran towards the medical center.
