Chapter 52

Seeing Gu Qiongsheng walking towards the students in the beds inside, Dr. Zou pursed his lips in displeasure, his long brows tightly knitted together.

He deliberately arranged for only Gu Qiongsheng to escort the patient because he didn't want him to use healing skills.

Dr. Zou still refused to believe how powerful the healing skills of a high school student, who had no medical background at all, could be.

Besides, a therapist’s healing skills aren’t so easy to perform, right?

He had seen other therapists' treatment scenes. Not to mention the various sophisticated instruments and drugs used to soothe the mind, the key was that a very quiet environment was required because mental treatment was very risky and could cause secondary damage if one was not careful.

Doctor Zou quickly stepped forward, raised his head and put his hand on Gu Qiongsheng's shoulder: "Wait a moment, it's too noisy and chaotic here, why don't you wait for me--"

Before he could finish his words, Gu Qiongsheng turned around and made an OK gesture to him.

"Okay," she said in a brisk voice, "Doctor, can you take a look?"

Doctor Zou: “???”

Is that it?

Are you kidding me?

Doctor Zou's face looked a little ugly.

He really wanted to say that treatment is a sacred thing, any treatment requires full effort, and any patient requires absolute respect.

But before he could say anything, the next second, Dr. Zou suddenly opened his eyes wide - because the student who had been unconscious on the hospital bed since he was lifted onto the spacecraft, his fingertips trembled, his eyelids trembled, and he woke up after a moment!

"It hurts..." the student muttered subconsciously, "Where am I? Where's the bug?"

Gu Qiongsheng gave him another purifying flash.

The continuous healing technique flowed slowly through the student's body like a clear spring, gently nourishing her damaged mental strength, just like the softest and warmest spring breeze.

"It's all right now."

Gu Qiongsheng's voice was also gentle: "This is a spaceship. The examiners are here to rescue us. We are safe."

The student then realized that he had escaped death. His lips trembled and he raised his hands to cover his face in excitement.

She choked a few times, then quickly got up from the bed and bowed deeply to Gu Qiongsheng: "Thank you, thank you!"

"...Wait!" Doctor Zou's pupils trembled beside him, "Your mental strength is extremely unstable. You can't get up now. Lie down for a while—"

But the student had already gotten off the ground.

She was stunned for a moment, tried to shake her arms, and jumped a few times on the spot.

Then she looked at Dr. Zou cautiously: "I, I feel fine?"

"There's no need to lie down anymore. I want to see my teammates. How are my teammates?"

Doctor Zou: “…”

Doctor Zou said dryly, "Then, at least test the mental strength index again."

Seeing that he was wearing a doctor's white coat, the students had no choice but to obey his orders.

The instrument was pushed up, Dr. Zou drove away the assistant, and personally controlled the measurement - the conclusion was that there was no problem.

Not only has the mental strength been restored, but the activity level has also been greatly improved, and even the total amount seems to have improved a bit.

Dr. Zou stared at the measurement results in astonishment and was speechless for a long time.

It was he who personally pushed the student into the medical cabin. He knew how badly she was injured. Her body was covered with cuts and her thighs were almost broken. According to her teammates who had already regained consciousness, they encountered nine hurried rift worms.

During the frantic escape, the girl was seriously injured. If the rift worms had not seemed to be in a hurry and did not chase them with all their strength, their team would have been wiped out.

Not only were they injured externally, but their spiritual weapons had been crushed and broken while fending off the rift worms, damaging their mental strength. According to Dr. Zou, it would take at least a week for the girl to recover on her own. Even with a healer's help, it wouldn't take more than a day or two to see any results.

And all he said was wake up.

Not like now, running and jumping, crying and laughing!

On the other side, the female student grabbed Gu Qiongsheng and thanked him repeatedly in a hurry.

She was no fool. Recalling the severity of her injuries before she passed out, she knew the girl before her was her savior. Furthermore, the healing technique was incredibly comfortable, without a trace of the pain rumored to be present. It was so comfortable it felt like floating on clouds.

While thanking him, the girl looked at Gu Qiongsheng with curiosity, asked her name enthusiastically, and then hurriedly pulled her to treat the teammates lying on the beds.

When Dr. Zou finally came to his senses, he turned around with mixed feelings.

Over there, Gu Qiongsheng had already cured more than a dozen students and was surrounded by a group of people. He shouted with shining eyes, "God Gu!"

Doctor Zou looked dazed and instinctively rushed forward to evacuate the students. "Alright, alright, no noise allowed in the ward. Those who have regained consciousness, please line up over there for the examination. Once you're clear, you can leave!"

He exuded the unique majesty of a doctor, which made the students more restrained.

The female student from before cautiously came over and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, what is your name?"

Doctor Zou said with a cold face: "...My last name is Zou."

The girl also bowed deeply to him: "Thank you, Dr. Zou!"

She had just learned from Gu Qiongsheng that although the mental damage was treated by Gu Qiongsheng, the initial rescue, wound suturing, etc. were all the credit of Doctor Zou.

Their lives were actually saved by Dr. Zou.

Seeing this, Dr. Zou waved his hand, his expression finally softened, and he felt much more comfortable.

But on second thought, he suddenly felt aggrieved.

——You call me "Doctor Zou", but you call her "Goddess Gu".

But after thinking about it carefully, Dr. Zou gradually regained his rationality and felt that this was reasonable.

Although his surgical skills are impressive, there are so many great doctors in the Federation that his skills are nothing compared to theirs.

And Gu Qiongsheng...

Doctor Zou tilted his head slightly, observing the girl calmly out of the corner of his eye as she paced back and forth between the beds, soothing the patients with a gentle voice from time to time.

She was like a ray of light, dispelling all the haze wherever she went. The healing light emanated from her body, and all the patients she touched opened their eyes. After a while, cheerful laughter rang out everywhere in the ward.

Unbelievable.

It's incredible.

Seeing that the patients recovered one after another, Dr. Zou's eyes gradually softened.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked forward and patted Gu Qiongsheng lightly on the shoulder.

Gu Qiongsheng turned around in confusion.

Doctor Zou lowered his voice and said, "Come here."

"There is a critically ill patient who I would like you to take a look at."

This time, his tone was very polite.

It seemed that he no longer regarded Gu Qiongsheng as a patient or a student, but as a capable doctor who was equal to him.

At the innermost part of the general ward, there is a special ward.

Gu Qiongsheng followed Dr. Zou in and watched curiously as he swiped his card to unlock various access doors, and finally walked to a lonely treatment room.

Inside the treatment room... was a man covered in bruises.

He couldn't even be called a human anymore. He looked more like a lot of pieces of flesh hanging on a skeleton. One could barely make out the neck and head, and the part below the neck was almost invisible.

The nano-treatment chamber was running rapidly, slowly solidifying his flesh and blood, and the nutrients were circulating quickly to save his life.

But Gu Qiongsheng still felt a sense of sadness. Her innate ability came into play at this moment, allowing her to see a sad, fragile, and painful soul in a trance.

Doctor Zou whispered, "He was a warrior who was stranded on Weilun when the Zerg appeared. He wasn't very strong, with only a barely B-level mental strength, but when he discovered the Zerg, he rushed forward immediately."

"Eleven Zergs nearly tore his body apart, crushing his mental strength. Fortunately, he accidentally rolled into a crack in the ground and fell to the deepest part. The crack collapsed due to the battle, burying him underneath, and that's how he was saved from being eaten by the bugs."

"But when we dug him out according to the direction of the life detector, he was basically beyond saving."

Gu Qiongsheng was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

The fair hand gently stroked the outside of the treatment chamber, and the fingertips trembled slightly.

With her healing gift, she could feel more.

The warrior in front of him was not afraid of the Zerg, nor was he sad because of his impending death. Gu Qiongsheng could faintly hear the roar in his heart. He was in pain because he could not break through the silent barrier and could not spread the news that the Zerg had appeared on Weilun Star.

The students who could not be saved and were still on the planet Weilun, unaware of the crisis.

Gu Qiongsheng closed his eyes slightly.

The gifted vision unfolds before your eyes.

She saw a huge bubble that was almost about to disappear.

Gu Qiongsheng gently stroked the foam. At that moment, darkness came over her. She seemed to see a bloody warrior falling into a bottomless crack.

The wind swept past him, and rocks smashed into the wound deep enough to see the bone. But before the soldier completely lost consciousness, the last thought in his mind was still:

The students...

Those poor students still stuck on Planet Weilun...

Can they be rescued, or will they all be wiped out?

They are still so young and are about to take the final exam. They shouldn't die here. They shouldn't...

Gu Qiongsheng's heart also sank.

Her lips moved, and she silently uttered: "Holy Light..."

Squandering her mana bar, she used all her skills on the treatment chamber in front of her, but even so, Gu Qiongsheng didn't dare to say that she was sure to save the person.

This soldier was seriously injured, and the medical cabin was simply trying to prolong his life.

And his mental strength had almost been extinguished like drifting dust, and he was more seriously injured than the original owner who failed to awaken when Gu Qiongsheng first traveled through time.

Fortunately, the system's black technology is as powerful as ever.

After several skills were launched simultaneously, the unconscious person in the treatment chamber seemed to tremble slightly.

Doctor Zou saw that the patient's various indicators were flashing rapidly on the instrument table next to him.

Heart rate increases, blood oxygen concentration increases, blood pressure recovers, and body temperature also rises rapidly——

The most important thing is the mental strength indicator.

The brain activity, which was originally in jeopardy, rebounded rapidly by almost rising in a straight line!

The series of data changed so fast that it almost blinded Dr. Zou.

He stared at the scene in a daze, holding his breath for a moment, fearing that if he took a deep breath, it would affect the recovery of his mental activity index.

It wasn't until Gu Qiongsheng had exhausted all his skills and breathed a tired sigh that Doctor Zou finally woke up and said hurriedly, "It's all right, it's all right, he's saved!"

Really rescued!

The patient, who had been at his wit's end, showed a dramatic improvement in the blink of an eye thanks to the miraculous treatment of the girl.

Especially the mental activity index, which is very critical and directly determines whether the patient will be brain dead.

Dr. Zou was confident that he could use the Federation's advanced medical technology to restore the other indicators, but he really had no idea how to improve the mental activity. He asked Gu Qiongsheng to come over just to give it a try.

I never expected that it would happen in the blink of an eye!

"Is this all that's left?" Gu Qiongsheng looked a little unsatisfied and said softly, "He hasn't even woken up yet."

Doctor Zou smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be that fast? Even if the mental strength is restored, the body will still need some time to recover."

After saying this, he felt a little awkward, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: After Gu Qiongsheng's treatment, he subconsciously believed that the patient's mental strength could recover faster than the body.

God knows a few minutes ago, he still felt that even if the wounded man's body was saved, his mental strength would definitely be destroyed, and it was still unknown whether he could wake up.

Gu Qiongsheng blinked: "...Oh."

She didn't quite understand all this. She just felt that the students outside woke up after treatment, but this soldier didn't wake up, and she felt a little frustrated.

So she said, "I'll take a break and treat him a few more times later."

Gu Qiongsheng really hopes that this soldier can wake up.

I hope he knows that the people on the planet Weilun have been rescued, and most of the students he tried so hard to protect have been saved.

Gu Qiongsheng pinched the blue bar and quietly recuperated his mental strength, but Dr. Zou on the other side still found it unbelievable no matter how he thought about it.

If every healer had this level of skill, wouldn't the lives of federal soldiers be more secure?

If every healer learns this healing technique, their combat capability on the battlefield will be longer-lasting. Will they be able to reach the Zerg lair, kill that damn Zerg Queen, and achieve ultimate victory?

Instead of being like now, where the sword of Damocles is always hanging over our heads, making humans dare not relax at all.

The more Dr. Zou thought about it, the more restless he became.

It was as if a fire had been lit in his heart, starting with tiny sparks but spreading rapidly until it became a raging fire.

He even felt an indescribable sense of shame, wondering why he didn't have this ability?

If he could also heal mental damage, then how many patients he had been unable to treat, how many soldiers had gradually lost consciousness in the medical cabin, how many lives he had watched slip away but could not save—

Isn't that saving everyone?

Looking down at the palm of his right hand and the fine lines on it, Dr. Zou suddenly felt a strong urge to tear his eyes.

He walked to Gu Qiongsheng and lowered his voice: "Student Gu... No, Therapist Gu."

"Can you teach me healing?"

Gu Qiongsheng was stunned.

She raised her head and subconsciously refused: "Sorry, I..."

Dr. Zou looked at her steadily.

His eyes were clear and sincere, as if there was a glimmer in his eyes, and his expression was so serious, so serious that Gu Qiongsheng couldn't even say no.

Suddenly, a system notification sound rang in Gu Qiongsheng's ears, crisp and pleasant:

[Beep! A request for apprenticeship has been detected. The mentoring function is being activated...]
