"Anyway, just put the gun down first. We can talk things over slowly."
"After all, Zhang Beixing just went through a battle not long ago. Right now, he might not have even recovered. It wouldn't be good if he started showing symptoms of post-combat stress."
"Besides, you don't want to die, do you?"
Zhou Zhenghua spoke persuasively, then shifted to a direct warning.
Hearing his words, Baal also rembered the terrifying strength Zhang Beixing had displayed during the live broadcast. After so thought, he wisely put his gun down. However, he didn't relax, keeping his hand on his gun and watching Zhang Beixing with eyes full of caution.
Zhang Beixing noticed his subtle movents but couldn't be bothered to react. After all, if I truly wanted to act, at this distance, I could kill him in half a second, even if Chief Baal was on guard.
"Zhang Beixing, are you... okay?"
After recovering from his initial shock and steadying his nerves, Zhou Zhenghua swallowed, then looked at Zhang Beixing and asked.
Hearing his words, Zhang Beixing didn't say a word. He just stared speechlessly at Zhou Zhenghua, his expression like he was looking at an idiot.
He was now puzzled, not understanding what kind of mindset Zhou Zhenghua could have to ask such a question. If you'd just take a proper look, you'd see these bullet holes in my body are still bleeding! There are still bullets embedded in my flesh! Isn't it obvious whether I'm alright or not?
Zhang Beixing rolled his eyes. He said nothing, yet it was as if he'd said everything.
Zhou Zhenghua realized he'd misspoken and didn't press the issue. Instead, he stepped closer to examine Zhang Beixing, and sucked in a sharp breath.
Zhang Beixing's injuries were mainly concentrated on his upper body. The holes left by the bullets were clearly visible. Among them, the wounds on Zhang Beixing's chest were the most severe. Zhou Zhenghua counted five in total. Two were near the heart, one in a lung, and the rest were scattered elsewhere.
"How are you still alive?!" Zhou Zhenghua couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.
Without a bulletproof vest, a bullet striking the heart ant certain death, with no exceptions. But now, with Zhang Beixing, that certainty had been defied. It was incredible!
However, he quickly composed himself. He realized that although Zhang Beixing wasn't dead yet, his injuries were extrely severe. This could be his last burst of energy before the end. There was no ti to delay.
"Doctors? Ergency treatnt, hurry!" Zhou Zhenghua urgently called the nearby doctors to co and examine Zhang Beixing.
Hearing there was another casualty, the doctors hurried over. When they saw Zhang Beixing's condition, they were imdiately shocked by the horrific state of his injuries.
"How... how did this happen?" one doctor asked, stunned. He had only ever seen such grievous injuries on corpses. But now, they were on a living person. It was inconceivable!
"Never mind that, just examine him! Ti is of the essence," Zhou Zhenghua urged, not wanting to waste words.
The doctors, knowing it wasn't the ti for idle chat, nodded and quickly stepped forward to diagnose Zhang Beixing.
Seeing this, Zhang Beixing didn't resist and followed the doctors to the side to be checked.
anwhile, on a nearby street, Lin Siqi and Zheng Jituo had rushed and finally arrived. Seeing the D&E laboratory building surrounded by police, panic was written all over Lin Siqi's face. She wanted to go in but was stopped by the police maintaining order.
Fortunately, personnel from the Great Xia Embassy had been accompanying them the whole ti. After they revealed their identities and persuaded the police, Lin Siqi and the others were allowed in.
Upon entering, Lin Siqi imdiately looked around and soon spotted Zhang Beixing's figure in the crowd.
Seeing that Zhang Beixing was still alive, Lin Siqi was overjoyed and quickly approached. However, just as she drew near, she happened to overhear the doctor's diagnosis, and her heart sank to the depths.
"He's beyond saving!" After examining Zhang Beixing's physical condition, the doctor shook his head, his expression complex as he spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of Lin Siqi and the others, who had just arrived at the scene, lurched.
Zheng Jituo couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, doctor? Why is he beyond saving? Isn't he perfectly fine right now?"
Hearing his words, the doctor was montarily taken aback. He turned his head to look at the Great Xia People gathered around, seemingly wondering who these people were.
"You're here?" Zhang Beixing, standing to the side, was also sowhat surprised. He hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly, but he wasn't overly shocked, knowing they would have been anxious to find him.
Nearby, Chief Baal furrowed his brows. He was just about to scold the officers for letting unauthorized people in when Zhou Zhenghua, recognizing Zheng Jituo and the others, quickly said to Baal, "Chief Baal, they are Zhang Beixing's classmates and are under the protection of the Great Xia Embassy."
Hearing this, Chief Baal, though sowhat displeased, didn't say more on the matter. He just turned his head to the doctor. "Continue. Why is he beyond saving?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "He's been shot too many tis. We're not sure exactly what's been hit, but his organs have definitely been damaged! There's no way he can survive this!"
