Chen Hao
Chapter 372 Female Soldier
Silence fell in the corridor.
The military region leaders were silent, and he sat down, leaning on the armrest of a long chair.
He rubbed his face irritably. In one day, it would be the official handover of military power in the Khaanate, but now the core generals of the Khaanate's army had all died in an accident. If this matter was not handled properly, the consequences would be very serious.
"Do everything possible to keep Fiers alive!" The leader stood up and said solemnly, "Otherwise, this smooth handover of military power is likely to become the flashpoint for a war."
The others behind him nodded.
"By the way, how are our seriously wounded soldiers?" the leader asked again.
"The situation is not good... Rescue has been going on for half an hour, and twelve people have been pronounced dead. They were too badly injured." Wang Caijun shook his head.
Falling from a high altitude, coupled with the high temperature of the explosion, it was already very difficult for the seriously injured to survive to the hospital.
The chances of rescue were slim.
"Can we inject the gene drug we developed and try to make the seriously wounded become evolvers?" the leader asked, as if making an important decision.
"We've already tried it," Wang Caijun said. "But gene drugs are not 100% successful. Their medicinal power is too strong, and these severely injured bodies... couldn't withstand it."
The conditions for using gene drugs are very harsh. To increase the success rate, either inject it into a mutant with a strong physique, or have a similar gene sequence to the source gene of the gene drug. Apart from that, it is difficult for ordinary people to successfully accept the modification of gene drugs.
The military region leader fell into a long silence again.
By now, it seemed that all roads were blocked.
On the border line of the Western Xinjiang Military Region, soldiers from the Mixed Combat Regiment were dealing with the tragic scene, and everyone was in a heavy mood.
Wang Hai, a private first class from the Second Battalion of the Mixed Combat Regiment, had just tied a steel cable to the wreckage of a helicopter. He waved to his comrades driving the tow truck in front of him. The other party started the car and pulled the charred wreckage onto the tow truck.
Just then, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.
He turned around and saw a young man and a little girl. They were not wearing military uniforms. Wang Hai immediately became alert. He was about to yell and ask about their identities when he saw the little girl's eyes turn a blazing white, agitated like an electric current!
Buzz!
Wang Hai felt a darkness in front of him, and his eyes gradually began to lose focus. An invisible brainwave connected him and the little girl's brain, and countless pieces of information were shared through this invisible electromagnetic bridge.
The young man and the little girl were naturally Li Tianran and Hanhan.
About ten seconds later, Hanhan disconnected from Wang Hai's brainwave connection. Since she only needed to read the scenes that had happened in the past hour, it didn't take too long. Li Tianran looked at Hanhan and asked, "How is it?"
Hanhan's face turned pale, not the kind of exhaustion caused by too much mental energy consumption, but the collapse of her emotions that suddenly changed drastically.
She raised her head and said tremblingly, "I... I saw in his memory that a helicopter crashed, and charred bodies were dragged out of the ruins. I also saw someone calling for Sister Yuan Wen's name! Yuan Wen’s helicopter was attacked, she... she seems..."
Buzz!
Li Tianran felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer, and then he tried to calm himself down. He took two deep breaths and said, "Not necessarily, let's read the memories of two more people..."
At this time, the soldiers responsible for cleaning up the scene had already noticed Li Tianran and Hanhan, two "intruders" who seemed to have appeared suddenly. They came out one after another, a total of nearly fifty people. Some held guns pointed at them and shouted loudly, "State your identities immediately, put your hands on your heads and squat on the ground!"
Hanhan turned around, and a brainwave magnetic field like a sea wave instantly enveloped the area. These soldiers had already entered the 300-meter range. Their fragile brains were impacted, and most of them fainted on the spot. A few with stronger mental strength also covered their heads in pain.
Li Tianran came to a soldier in the blink of an eye, and Hanhan connected with his brain again, but the information obtained was very similar.
Then came the third, the fourth, and it wasn't until the fifth that the situation changed.
"Sister Yuan Wen is not dead yet, but she was seriously injured and sent to the military hospital for rescue." Hanhan opened her eyes, with a hint of joy in her voice.
Li Tianran breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only then that he remembered that although Yuan Wen fell down in the dream, there was no indication that she died immediately.
"I still have a chance." Li Tianran looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
...
Three hours later, a helicopter directly from the capital landed in the Western Xinjiang Military Region. The president of the Khaanate almost fainted on the spot after hearing the news of the attack. He rushed over immediately and met with the leaders of the Western Xinjiang Military Region.
In the hospital, after the president saw Fiers in the rescue room, he immediately had a secret talk with the heads of the Western Xinjiang Military Region in the office.
"General Fang, I have no other requirements. Fiers must be saved. He has a high prestige in the army. Only his survival can guarantee the complete transfer of military power. Otherwise, at this time, it is very likely that a second Puli or a third Puli will be born in the army. Our army will split again, eventually leading to another war!" Although the president was anxious, he still maintained a calm attitude and analyzed the current situation for the heads of the Western Xinjiang Military Region: "Apart from Fiers, even I cannot fully control the army. He is too important!"
The leaders of the Western Xinjiang Military Region looked at each other. They also knew the importance of Fiers, but with the current medical means, it was indeed difficult to save the seriously injured Fiers...
An extremely heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire office.
"If there is really no other way, we can only gamble with gene drugs." The leaders of the Western Xinjiang Military Region put forward a suggestion.
Although the mortality rate of gene drugs is very high, it is the only promising path so far.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Someone came in and whispered in the leader's ear.
"What did you say?" The leader's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "A soldier said there is a way to keep Fiers alive? Quick! Let her in!"
Soon, the office door opened, and a female soldier walked in. Looking at the room full of senior generals, she seemed a little timid.
"You said you have a way to keep Commander Fiers alive... Do you know what the crime is for fabricating lies at this time?" the military region leader asked in a deep voice, tapping the table lightly.
All eyes fell on the female soldier, putting even more pressure on her.
"I didn't lie!" the female soldier said firmly, gritting her teeth. "I know who can save Fiers! And I can definitely keep him alive!"
"Continue," everyone urged.
"Yuan Wen! Yuan Wen, a soldier in my class! She has a medicine that can keep seriously injured and dying people alive!" the female soldier said in a low voice, "I have seen the effect of that medicine with my own eyes! Last time, she used this medicine to save Miao Feng, a soldier in our class! That medicine is in an iron box. It's a magical... carrot! There are two in total!"
Swish!
All the generals stood up abruptly, staring at the female soldier, and then the leader said, "If what you said is true and Commander Fiers can really survive, then you have made a great contribution!"
The female soldier lowered her head, suppressing her excitement.
"Go find that female soldier named Yuan Wen immediately, find her personal belongings, and look for that medicine!" the military region leader ordered.
With his order, Yuan Wen's personal belongings in the rescue room were quickly found and placed in front of the leaders. They also found the iron box that the female soldier mentioned.
But when the leaders opened the iron box in front of the president of the Khaanate, they found that there were not two carrots in the iron box, but only one left!
The female soldier frowned as she watched this scene. She suddenly thought that all the passengers on Yuan Wen's helicopter had died, and only she survived. Could it be because... she ate one before the crash?
But that one ancient medicine-grade carrot could not cure Yuan Wen. Yuan Wen was too badly injured. It could only keep Yuan Wen alive temporarily, and only by eating the second one could she completely survive and recover!
The female soldier looked at the lone carrot in the iron box and suddenly felt that... her eagerness to make a contribution might have pushed Yuan Wen into an abyss.
