Chapter 270: 270: Divine Doctor (extra 500 Chapters for bookstore recommendation)
Although others didn’t move their mouths, nothing had leaked out all along.
Did he really eat it all?!
Everyone felt shocked.
However, they were somewhat numbed. After this woman entered the operating room, nothing could be inferred with common sense.
The chief surgeon vaguely guessed something. He was born into a family of military doctors and had heard many legendary stories from his grandfather since childhood.
Many of these stories involved extraordinary people with abilities beyond ordinary humans, achieving seemingly impossible feats with ease.
"Remember, if you ever meet such a person one day, you must remain silent to avoid offending them. Because once offended, nobody can predict what might happen."
In his grandfather’s stories, these people’s abilities were boundless, capable of creating many miracles, and at the same time, extremely frightening. Just a mere gesture from them could spell the end of a life.
The chief surgeon was silent.
No matter what kind of person this was, as long as she had been inside the operating room for so long without a single disturbance from outside, it could only mean tacit approval from the outside.
Since there was tacit approval from the outside, there was nothing he could do or say, just wait quietly for the dean’s order.
"Alright, let’s move him out!" Mu Qiuniang said.
The chief surgeon said nothing and personally pushed the cart.
As soon as they exited the operating room, a group of people surrounded them.
"Out so quickly? Could it be that Ah Cheng is already..." Tong Yunyun was startled.
Mu Cheng was so seriously injured that even at the fastest speed, it couldn’t be this quick. Aunt Granny only went in half an hour ago, right?!
"Aunt Granny, my big brother he..." Mu Qing was also startled.
"It’s fine! He will wake up in a while."
As soon as Mu Qiuniang finished speaking, there was movement on the hospital bed.
"Mmm..." with a light hum, Mu Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Seeing so many faces looking at him at once, he was startled.
"Ah Cheng..." Tong Yunyun immediately burst into tears of joy, "It’s so good, you’re finally awake!"
"Waking up, does it mean everything is alright?" Mu Mingyu anxiously asked.
"Dad, Aunt Granny just said so, big brother is already fine." Mu Qing said helplessly.
Although he was also very excited, Mu Qing had witnessed Aunt Granny’s abilities before, so he could still remain calm.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Especially when Mu Cheng saw Aunt Granny, he was even more startled.
He knew that every time Aunt Granny appeared in front of him, something was happening.
"If Aunt Granny hadn’t come, you wouldn’t have survived." Tong Yunyun’s tears finally fell, unable to wipe them away, "Ah Cheng, pursue your dreams, I won’t stop you, I just have one request, I hope you can be safe and sound, can you promise me that?"
Mu Cheng didn’t dare to promise directly, dangerous tasks always needed someone to do them, if not him, there would be others.
It’s not that he had such great self-sacrificing spirit or insisted on doing it himself, but he believed that if he did it, the danger would be reduced, which was why he would do it.
"Mom, I won’t do anything dangerous!"
"Won’t you? Won’t you, and yet you’re in this state now? Look at you, still lying in bed. You didn’t know, when I just arrived, the doctor had already issued a critical condition notice, saying you might not even make it through surgery, telling us to prepare ourselves mentally..." Tong Yunyun was a bit agitated, "If Aunt Granny hadn’t come, you wouldn’t be seeing us now!"
Unable to hold back, she turned around, leaned against her husband Mu Mingyu’s shoulder, and cried.
"Mom..." Mu Cheng felt a bit guilty.
At that time, he really hadn’t thought about it so much, he hadn’t thought the task was so dangerous. When he discovered that supernatural incidents were happening around, and comrades around him were getting injured, he only thought that since he had the dagger given by Aunt Granny, it should be fine to hand over the amulet, but he hadn’t expected...
After returning to the ward and comforting Mu Mingyu and Tong Yunyun, Mu Cheng requested to be alone with Mu Qiuniang and his comrades for a while.
Mu Qiuniang nodded.
"In that case, I’ll wait outside, Aunt Granny." After Mu Mingyu said that, he closed the door.
"Alright, you can speak now." Mu Qiuniang looked at Mu Cheng and said.
To replenish Mu Cheng’s strength, fearing he couldn’t sustain it, Mu Qiuniang specially left a bottle of "Qi Replenishing Pill" for him, to be taken when he felt he couldn’t hold on.
Now, being able to wake up so quickly after surgery was entirely due to her spiritual medicine, and the spiritual energy she infused into his body. Although the injury had mostly healed, returning to normal would still require slow recuperation.
After all, he wasn’t a Cultivator. Having such a slow recovery process was better for both his body and spirit.
"Aunt Granny, here’s what happened..."
It turned out, Mu Cheng’s task this time was merely to raid a drug trafficking den, but what he never expected was discovering an underground "Cult" beneath that den.
Winding underground passageways, with a rope threaded above, a skull hanging at the center of an iron door, and wolf heads with bared teeth lining the path.
"They actually put things like this?" a comrade couldn’t help but reach out to touch one of the wolf heads.
"Careful!" Just as Mu Cheng spoke, an iron arrow shot out from the wolf head that had been touched. Simultaneously, the other wolf heads emitted a greenish gas.
Luckily, he reacted quickly, pushing the comrade aside to avoid the iron arrow, thereby escaping injury.
But even so, the greenish gas that sprayed in large areas hit several unprepared soldiers squarely, causing them to cough incessantly.
One of them, in particular, was right under a wolf’s mouth, inhaling the most gas into his lungs and almost rolling his eyes on the spot.
"Look at you!" one of the comrades couldn’t help but get a bit angry, "How many times have we told you to be careful during missions, can’t you stop being so reckless? You’ll get us all killed!"
"Sorry!" The comrade was also startled. He never thought that something that looked almost decorative could be so terrifying?!
"Alright, don’t blame Monkey, Xiao Si’s condition is a bit urgent, you take him and retreat first." Mu Cheng said.
"But Captain, we haven’t caught this person yet. How about letting Monkey take Xiao Si away first, I’ll keep following you."
"No way! I made the trouble, I need to make amends." Monkey immediately refused.
"Stop arguing, Viper, quickly take Xiao Si and retreat, he might not hold on." Mu Cheng was worried, each comrade was a partner who entrusted their lives to each other, they had been through countless missions together, if anything happened to any of them, he couldn’t bear it.
He had a selfish motive for letting the comrade codenamed Viper retreat first. Viper’s wife had just gotten pregnant, what if something happened to Viper? How would his wife and child cope?
"Yes, Captain, listening to you!" As obedience to orders was a soldier’s duty, since Mu Cheng had named him, Viper could only obey.
He hoisted Xiao Si and retreated quickly.
Further inside, there were several complete skeleton frames, cruelly hung on the wall with hooks, as a sort of warning. On the back of the wall, there were religious-looking symbols that were indescribable, only evoking feelings of gloom and fear.
