The rebellion of the Eighteen Stars had just been quelled, and the remnants of the rebel forces had not yet been eradicated. He could not allow his child and Yu Zhen to take risks.

"Why are you looking so long-faced?" Yu Wei patted Lin Gu's head, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, "Working for two years and then being promoted to the commander-in-chief of the 18th Star Military Region, isn't that great?"

"What's so great about it?" Lin Gu pouted. "I'm still young, I don't want to be like those old men, carrying a water glass around all day with my hands behind my back..."

"Who are you talking about, you brat!"

A large hand slapped Lin Gu on the head. Yu Wei turned around and saw the elderly man, dressed casually with his hands behind his back, holding a water cup, his hair gray but his spirits high. His eyes were full of surprise.

"Teacher? When did you get back?"

Yu Wei excitedly hugged the old man, but after a while he felt it was inappropriate and slowly let go of him.

Zuo Li was a veteran of the alliance and a contemporary of Yu Wei's grandfather. After the alliance was established, he turned down the appointment from the General Headquarters and went to work as an instructor at the Youth Military Training Base, where he managed to subdue the two troublemakers, Yu Wei and Lin Gu.

"Just got back." Zuo Li raised his large hand high and lightly placed it on Yu Wei's head, chuckling, "Good lad, you've grown quite a bit taller. Looks like you haven't fallen behind in your training."

After saying that, he patted Lin Gu and laughed, "You've grown quite a bit taller too. Looks like you're eating a lot."

"Hey, old man, don't be so obvious about the preferential treatment." Lin Gu crossed his arms, puffed out his cheeks, and pretended to be angry, but his eyes were full of laughter. "Besides, I'm still growing, what's wrong with eating more?"

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore."

Zuo Li, holding a cup, strolled slowly past the two people. His slender and upright figure seemed a bit lonely in the wide corridor.

"Let's go."

Just as Yu Wei was about to leave, a strong sense of dizziness struck him. His heart clenched, his ears rang, and everything in front of him spun around. Lin Gu seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.

"Beep beep beep beep"

The instruments hummed calmly and steadily, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Yu Wei opened his eyes and was greeted by a world of pure white.

Footsteps suddenly came from the doorway, and Yu Wei quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Yu, his condition is very bad right now, you...you should be prepared..."

Qin Ge frowned. Yu Wei's glands were already extremely unstable. After being infected by the Kao virus, the difficulty of controlling his pheromones increased more than double. Yu Wei could go into a frenzy at any time due to the rampage of his pheromones, and eventually die.

Lin Ling nodded. There were very few records about the Kao virus; it was one of the most classified viruses in the Etolan Imperial Laboratory. The Imperial Laboratory was destroyed during the anti-Imperial War, and all research data was lost.

"Just tell me how much longer I have to live."

Yu Wei's sudden voice startled the three people standing by the bed. Qin Ge patted his chest and calmed himself down for a while, "You're awake, why aren't you saying anything?"

“I already told you,” Yu Wei sat up, grabbed Qin Ge’s hand, and asked urgently, “Tell me, how much longer do I have to live?”

"You don't even care what illness you have, all you care about is how long you can live?"

"Nonsense! Even if I knew, it wouldn't save me!"

Yu Wei rolled his eyes. He wasn't a doctor, so knowing the reason wouldn't help. He might as well focus on the practical issues.

“If you want, you can do it anytime.” Lin Ling patted Yu Wei’s head: “But as long as you control yourself and don’t release pheromones indiscriminately, you can still live for several decades.”

Lin Ling herself didn't believe this. The effect of the Kao virus was to make people lose control, and to make Yu Wei, whose glands were already immature, control pheromones. It was simply a fantasy.

"I see..."

Yu Wei was relieved. Since his father had said so, he must be alright.

It's just controlling pheromones, it's too simple.

"Alright, I'm fine." Yu Wei smiled and reassured the three of them, "It's not a terminal illness, I might live for hundreds of years..."

"I didn't expect you to have such lofty ambitions, actually wanting to become a centuries-old monster." Qin Ge smirked and chimed in, "Then I'll dissect you..."

The official average lifespan is one hundred years. If Yu Wei really lived for several hundred years, he would definitely be used for research.

“You definitely won’t live to see that day.” Yu Wei patted Qin Ge on the shoulder. “Young man, your physique is far inferior to mine.”

"Currently, there is no scientific research to show that the stronger the body, the longer the lifespan," Qin Ge snorted. "You'll stay in the hospital for the time being, and you can leave whenever your pheromones stabilize."

After saying that, he took the medical record and left, leaving the family of three some time alone.

"My dear dads, please... don't look at me like that." Yu Wei chuckled, fawningly reaching out to pull Yu Zhen and Lin Ling, patting his chest and assuring them, "Don't worry, I'll definitely stay in the hospital and cooperate with the treatment..."

"That would be for the best." Yu Zhen's expression was serious. "I've arranged people all around you. Don't even think about escaping."

"Dad, my dear father, it's unnecessary, completely unnecessary." Yu Wei really wanted to curse, but he put on a "I'm doing this for your own good" expression and said earnestly, "Look at them, they are all ambitious young people, how can they waste their time on such a small matter as guarding me? Besides, we are already short-handed..."

"There's no room for negotiation."

Yu Zhen snorted coldly. Don't think he didn't know what Yu Wei was thinking. This kid clearly wanted to take advantage of his illness to send him away, and then secretly run to the Eighteenth Star to secretly hunt down the rebel leader.

"My good son, take good care of yourself." Lin Ling patted Yu Wei's head affectionately, then pulled Yu Zhen up and said, "We're leaving now."
