Zhong Li Feiyu took the medicine. Lu Wanqing paused, then turned her gaze back to the bullet comments.
In the live stream, Zhong Li Xing saw his son take the hematopoietic medicine and also let out a soft sigh of relief. His military gaze turned to Lu Wanqing, the sternness of his eyes softening considerably.
"Marshal, the General has taken the medicine. If it was just excessive blood loss, the problem shouldn't be too serious."
"However, we're not sure if the General sustained any other internal injuries. If..."
Qin Li trailed off, leaving the unspoken implication hanging in the air, understood by everyone.
Lu Wanqing waited for a long time before another bullet comment came from the Zhong Li family. It roughly conveyed their request for her to look after Zhong Li Feiyu for now, and that they would find a way to rush over as soon as possible.
Seeing the comment, Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, as she looked down at Zhong Li Feiyu, her feelings remained complex. She hoped he wouldn't die.
She had done all she could to help; there was nothing more Lu Wanqing could do. Calming herself, she suddenly realized she was very hungry.
Lu Wanqing glanced up at the sun. It was already beginning to set in the west. Their morning's exertions had clearly taken up a lot of time, and she hadn't even prepared lunch yet!
"Come, let's make some food first!" In the next moment, Lu Wanqing turned to Xiao Mu Lan and said seriously.
Despite saying they were going to make food, Lu Wanqing felt uneasy with Zhong Li Feiyu here.
Moving Zhong Li Feiyu was also impractical. His injuries were still unclear, and frequent movement could potentially worsen his condition.
However, leaving Zhong Li Feiyu alone was out of the question. This was a desolate planet, and in the dense forest, no one could guarantee that insects or beasts wouldn't appear at any moment. What if Zhong Li Feiyu were eaten by a wild animal?
After some thought, Lu Wanqing put down the firewood and returned to the riverbank, moving the pot to Zhong Li Feiyu's side as well.
Xiao Mu Lan followed his mother obediently the entire way, not crying despite his rumbling stomach. He was very well-behaved.
Lu Wanqing seized the opportunity, using the bow drill method to relight the fire.
Once the fire was going, all they needed was for the water in the pot to boil. While waiting, Lu Wanqing unconsciously glanced towards where the bullet comments had been.
The viewers in the live stream had all been cleared out, and the bullet comments were now quiet, without a single sound.
However, while her end was quiet, the Star Network had exploded!
The billions of viewers in the live stream had all witnessed it: Federal hero General Zhong Li Feiyu was injured, his person and mecha appearing on a desolate planet, and his life was in danger!
Being suddenly cleared from the live stream was unexpected, but upon reflection, it was also understandable. Matters involving the military were generally federal secrets.
But knowing it was a secret that ordinary people shouldn't know didn't mean they could suppress their curiosity. In Zhong Li Feiyu's condition, was he alive or dead?
Zhong Li Feiyu was a Federal hero. He had gone to the battlefield as a teenager, participating in over a dozen battles of various scales to protect the Federal citizens. He had been on the front lines almost every year!
Such a young Federal hero, now appearing on a desolate planet under unknown circumstances, with his life hanging in the balance!
The entire galaxy's population worried for General Zhong Li Feiyu!
Many people posted on the Star Network, wanting to know the follow-up to the incident, wanting to know how General Zhong Li Feiyu was doing now? Was the General still alive?
So many people were concerned about this matter that all related topics quickly climbed to the trending search list!
Once the trending topics appeared, more citizens paid attention. Many who hadn't noticed the incident with Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan's spaceship suddenly became aware of this news, and many began to follow the story.
The Military Department and the Imperial Military Academy, in particular, were highly concerned!
Starry Sky Live was going frantic. They had just wanted to run a live stream, to capitalize on the heat of Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan's spaceship incident to gain a massive audience for their platform and make a fortune!
How did they inexplicably get entangled with General Zhong Li Feiyu? And how did they attract the attention of the entire Federal Military Department and the Imperial Military Academy?
Not only the Military Department and the Imperial Military Academy, but other high-ranking officials in the Federation also contacted them, inquiring about the follow-up.
But could they disclose this information?
The Federal situation was complex, with seven major legions alone in the military!
Furthermore, it was rumored that the relationships between the seven major legions were very disharmonious, viewing each other as enemies! While jointly maintaining Federal security, they competed internally each year, each aiming to annex the others!
The Zhong Li family belonged to the Seventh Legion, rumored to be the most powerful among the seven. Led by Marshal Zhong Li Xing, General Zhong Li Feiyu was the most outstanding heir of the Seventh Legion, with a high probability of inheriting Marshal Zhong Li Xing's position and becoming the Marshal of the Seventh Legion in the future!
But now, General Zhong Li Feiyu was in trouble!
And it wasn't just the military; other high-ranking officials in the Federation were also closely connected to the major legions. Now, almost everyone was watching Starry Sky Live, hoping to glean information.
Starry Sky Live was trembling. If circumstances allowed, they would have abandoned the company and run. How could they possibly handle so many influential figures?
What if they handled it poorly and inadvertently offended one of the big shots? Would they meet a terrible end?
But running was impossible; running would only lead to a worse end.
Starry Sky Live was terrified. They could only cling to themselves now, refusing to leak any information and cautiously dealing with each faction.

However, the events unfolding outside had no bearing on Lu Wanqing. On the desolate planet, after boiling the water, Lu Wanqing first scalded two birds in it.
After plucking their feathers, she dug a hole and cleaned out all their internal organs!
Whether it was good luck or bad, Lu Wanqing hadn't brought any food, but she had brought quite a bit of seasoning. She had originally intended to cook a few delicious meals for Xiao Cui Cui when she reached Wei Xingzhou's place, thinking the child would like it. Unexpectedly, it now benefited herself and Xiao Mu Lan.
Lu Wanqing spent about two hours making the two birds using the beggar's chicken method. The taste, it must be said, was absolutely exquisite!
Xiao Mu Lan's eyes lit up. He was extremely happy, completely forgetting his earlier sadness!
"Mommy, it's so delicious!" Xiao Mu Lan's face was smeared with food, and he looked up at his mother, his eyes shining!
Lu Wanqing smiled and encouraged, "Then eat more, don't go hungry."
"Mhm, mhm!" Xiao Mu Lan nodded quickly.
Mother and son enjoyed a wonderful meal. After eating their fill, Lu Wanqing took the little one to the river to wash his hands, and also to wash off his "flower face."
A clean child was even more adorable, and it was time for the child's nap.
Xiao Mu Lan clearly looked sleepy, his eyelids drooping, looking like he wanted to sleep.
