Back at Liu Mingfeng's unit, after hanging up the phone, Chen Hai sat there smoking, puffing away. When his partner, Political Commissar Zhuge Yun, entered, he was choked by the smoke and coughed a few times. He quickly opened the doors and windows to let the smoke out.

"Old Chen, I'm not trying to be mean, but you should take better care of yourself and smoke less. Didn't your wife tell you the other day that you were coughing at night?"

Chen Hai didn't answer Zhuge Yun's question. Instead, he took a deep drag on his cigarette, finished it, and stubbed it out in the ashtray on the table. After extinguishing it, he leaned back in his chair and slowly exhaled the smoke. He didn't sit up straight but remained leaning back. Zhuge Yun, seeing his old partner like this, was puzzled and asked him...

"Old Chen, what's wrong? What happened? Why do you look like this?"

Upon hearing Zhuge Yun's question, Chen Hai sat up straight and looked at Zhuge Yun slowly, speaking slowly.

"I just received a call from the home of Liu Mingfeng, the second battalion commander. Something happened at his home."

Upon hearing Chen Hai say that the call was from Liu Mingfeng's home, Zhuge Yun sat up straight and asked what had happened. After Chen Hai explained, he learned that something like that had happened at Liu Mingfeng's home. Now, there were two people smoking in the room. They looked at the guards standing at the door with curiosity, wondering what had happened to make the regimental commander and political commissar smoke so much in the room.

Suddenly, Chen Hai stood up abruptly, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted.

“I believe in my soldier. If he is not a deserter on the battlefield, then he is even less likely to be a deserter in life. I don’t believe that he could lie down and live when he knows that such a big thing has happened at home and his wife is still not awake. He is about to lose his wife and child.”

"Come here"

At this point, Chen Hai called in the guards standing outside the door and asked them to find a few soldiers who were usually on good terms with Liu Mingfeng and were available. After a few of Liu Mingfeng's close friends came over, Chen Hai gave them a few instructions and told them to go directly to Liu Mingfeng's ward in the military hospital.

Soon, three people arrived at Liu Mingfeng's ward in the military hospital. These three were all people who had free time and were on good terms with Liu Mingfeng. Among them, Fang Dazhuang was the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion, and the other two were Wang Tiezhu, Liu Mingfeng's deputy battalion commander, and Liu Xiaobao, whom everyone jokingly said was like a brother from the same father and mother.

The three men stood before Liu Mingfeng's hospital bed, looking at the man lying there. His upper body was naked, covered in numerous wounds; his right forearm and right calf were in casts, and his head was bandaged. They knew that Liu Mingfeng was unconscious because of his head injury; once he recovered, his other injuries would be minor. Their purpose in being there was to ignite Liu Mingfeng's will to live, hoping to wake him up sooner. So, the three men took turns speaking into Liu Mingfeng's ear.

"Old Liu, wake up! Your sister-in-law is suffering at home. She was beaten by your sister-in-law and is still in the hospital. Think about her, think about those two babies in her belly. Can you really bear to do that?"

"Battalion Commander, why are you still sleeping? Your eldest brother has already sacrificed his life, and your sister-in-law is the kind of person she is; she definitely won't stay in your family. Now your sister-in-law has also been injured, and we don't even know if she'll wake up. If you don't wake up soon, how are your brother's two children supposed to live?"

"Brother, wake up! Didn't you say you'd take me home to see my sister-in-law and the two babies in her belly during this vacation?"

The three of them kept talking to Liu Mingfeng on the hospital bed. What they didn't know was that there was also an invisible soul and a ball of light in the ward. At this moment, the ball of light and the soul were standing by Liu Mingfeng's bedside. If they could see them, they would find that the soul was actually eight or nine parts similar to Liu Mingfeng on the bed, only the temperament was different.

Even now, Liu Mingfeng, lying on the bed, looks robust and strong, clearly a tough soldier. The other person standing next to him, Hunpo, looks refined and scholarly, but there's a hint of ruthlessness in his air, making it clear that he's not as weak as he appears.

At this moment, the soul and the ball of light were talking. The soul asked the ball of light...

"Bead, is he really dead? What wish of his do I need to fulfill using his body?"

“He is currently in a state where his body is not dead, but his soul has left his body, which is what you call brain death. Of course, you are using his body to fulfill his wishes. His wishes are actually very simple: just take good care of his children and his brother’s children.”

"Oh, that's alright. I actually quite like cubs. After all, it's been over 50 years since the apocalypse, and there aren't many human babies being born anymore. But what about you after I wake up?"

"I will fall into a deep sleep after you wake up. I will not wake up until you and Qiaoqiao die in this world. Because of the limitations of the world's consciousness, I can only leave you a room-sized space inside the bead. See what you need in this world and tidy it up. As for Qiaoqiao's bracelet, it can still be used in this world."

The spirit was initially shocked when he heard that he only had a space the size of a room, because he already knew what era he and his wife were in. Although they couldn't use gold, silver, and jade now, they could use them later. However, he was very happy to hear that Qiaoqiao's bracelet could be used. You see, because Qiaoqiao liked gold, silver, and jade, her bracelet was almost full of those things.

So he turned around and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a ball of light floating in mid-air. After a short while, he came out and the ball of light said something after he came out.

"How did you manage to compile so much data? Do you still want to do research in your life?"

"No, Qiaoqiao and I were too tired in our past lives, and we don't want to be that tired again in this life. As for these materials, I'll find a way to hand them over to the country later. After all, one person's ability is limited."

"Alright, do what you think is best. Hurry up and get into that body. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you that you and Qiaoqiao brought your special abilities from your previous life, but they're not very strong and they're constantly dissipating. They'll dissipate quickly. Do whatever you need to do as soon as possible."

As it spoke, the ball of light disappeared into the space between the soul's eyebrows. The ghost then walked above Liu Mingfeng, who was lying on the bed, and slowly descended until the man and the soul merged into one.
