High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 505 - 372: Special Commander-in-Chief Candidate, Com

Beep beep beep------

The ward echoed with an urgent sound.

Xiaoyue, who was sleeping at the bedside, and Xiaoyue’s grandmother were startled awake. The two rubbed their sleepy eyes; the sound ca from a device beside the bed.

This device is specifically used for detecting Spiritual Power activity, where the normal Spiritual Power activity curve is shown as a stable green sine wave.

But now, the curve on the device is showing red, and the amplitude is rapidly declining, approaching a straight line.

"Old Jiang!"

Li Xiurou’s expression revealed a trace of panic, and she instinctively called out. The door soon opened, and in the light from the outside, a haggard figure appeared. Jiang Cheng arrived, carrying a stainless steel food container with soup and rice.

"Miaomiao, she..."

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Xiaoyue, you and your grandmother stay here; I’ll go find a doctor!" Jiang Cheng put down the food container and rushed out of the ward.

"Doctor, yes, we must notify the doctor imdiately!"

"Old Jiang, wait..."

Xiaoyue’s grandmother suddenly stood up, but Old Jiang had already run out. Li Xiurou wanted to press the ergency button in the room, but her head suddenly spun, and her world went blank.

"Grandma, are you okay?"

Xiaoyue snapped out of her panic, hurriedly supporting her grandmother. At the sa ti, she focused her mind and used her Spiritual Power to press the ergency button in the room.

"Xiaoyue, Grandma is fine. Quickly, press the button in the room..."

After the button in the room was pressed, a sound quickly resonated in the room, and the doctor soon arrived at the ward.

"The patient needs imdiate treatnt. Dear family mbers, please wait outside. Don’t worry, we will try our best..."

Xiaoyue watched the dical staff, dressed in white coats and wearing masks, push the bed with her mom into the ergency room. Her eyes showed worry and deep longing.

"Dad... Xiaoyue misses you..."

Soon, Hong Lie and a female officer with two embroidered gold bars and a small Golden Star on her shoulder arrived. Hong Lie communicated briefly with the hospital staff and then comforted Xiaoyue’s grandfather and grandmother on the scene.

Finally, he sat down next to Xiaoyue, reaching out to rub Xiaoyue’s head.

"Xiaoyue, it’s okay, everything will be fine."

It was then that Hong Lie rembered there was soone else there.

"I forgot to introduce everyone. This is Major Zheng Qi. Since Lieutenant Mu Feng needs to return ho due to recent family changes, for the ti being, you can direct any of your needs to Major Zheng Qi."

"Uncle, Auntie, you can just consider Mu Feng. You can call Xiaozheng. When in Yun Province, Su General Star supported our division’s front line. If not for Su General Star, I, Zheng Qi, might not be standing here today, so it’s my honor to temporarily substitute for Lieutenant Mu Feng..."

"Your na is Xiaoyue, right? Xiaoyue, you’re very sensible. Su General Star is powerful. He is just on a special mission and will be back soon, so don’t worry!"

Zheng Qi, with short hair, squatted down and spoke to Xiaoyue in a gentle tone. Zheng Qi’s features might not be particularly refined, but they were pure and appealing, with a constant friendly smile on his face, making people feel close and affectionate.

Noticing this scene, Hong Lie nodded secretly, then walked with a silver-haired elder who had just co out of the ergency room to the end of the corridor.

"Director Lin, how’s the situation?"

"Frankly, the situation is dire. After the symptoms of sleep talking disappeared, this patient’s condition has deteriorated rapidly during this ti... Her spiritual world is almost completely sealed off, and her soul has nearly fallen into complete silence."

"This situation is akin to a living dead."

"Director Lin, you’re an expert in this field; there must be other solutions, right?"

"There are solutions..."

"Director Lin, please go ahead. As long as it works, I can apply to the chiefs." Hong Lie said firmly.

Director Lin sighed.

"This matter is not easy; currently, there are two treatnt plans."

"First, construct a ward built with Soul Crystals and then use the Soul Repairing Instrunt, but this thod can only prolong the patient’s life and cannot cure it."

"And the second one?"

"It requires action from a Martial Saint and the use of a Martial Saint Tower..."

It requires a Martial Saint and even the use of a Martial Saint Tower?!

Upon hearing this, Hong Lie’s expression changed, imdiately realizing the difficulty. After all, the current Huaxia Military Departnt does not have a Martial Saint, and inviting an active Martial Saint is no simple task and would require an enormous cost.

But as long as Su Mu can successfully return, this may not be completely impossible.

"Moreover, it cannot be just any Martial Saint Tower... It is said that each Martial Saint Tower contains great power, but the powers are unique. Completely curing this patient requires a Martial Saint Tower imbued with abundant Soul Power, thus having a chance of complete recovery."

"A Martial Saint Tower with abundant Soul Power... Okay, Director Lin, I understand. I’ll report to the chiefs at the Command Center right away."

...

Southern War Zone, Command Center.

"Old Yue, have you reviewed this list for the military competition? If everything is correct, I’ll have soone submit it."

Yue Jun slowly closed the roster in his hand. In the roster, under the General Star column, a certain na was missing, a na he had personally written down, and it was the first na on the Southern War Zone list: Su Mu.

Thump thump thump.

Fingers kept tapping the table, making a dull sound.

"How’s the situation on the Beast Cave side?"

"No new discoveries for now. Apart from the Blood Eagle First, Second, and Third Squadrons, the remaining troops are gradually withdrawing from the Beast Cave."

"Good, then submit this list."
