Chapter 169 Is There Really No Way?

There was a dead atmosphere in Commander Chen's office.

The opportunity to slap Country R and force it to bow its head and apologize and plead guilty in the military court was right in front of them, but they didn't seize it.

All the senior military leaders in this room have achieved their current status through their pre-war military achievements, and they have a deep memory of that period of history.

Chief: “Is there really no other solution?”

Commander Chen shook his head and sighed before saying, "The pathogenic fluid that Yitang Shuyi brought back must be the most toxic pathogen developed before the defeat. It's the weapon that Ishii Dalang said could control the entire world."

Wang Qiwei: "Have you asked that expert from Country R? Perhaps he knows how to detoxify it?"

Commander Chen shook his head again. "After Song Yiyuan said he might have been infected with the virus, we interrogated Yitang Xiuyi. He initially said he didn't know, and then he passed out."

The Chief of Staff of City S also said: "Ishii Taro originally developed this pathogen solution to kill people, so that he could use it on all humans who are not from Country R. Why would he create an antidote for no reason, giving others the opportunity to obtain the antidote formula?"

There was silence in the room again.

Kyoto Song Family

Chief of Staff Song has applied to dispatch all experienced doctors in Kyoto to City S these past two days. One reason is for his own son, and the other is for that Country R spy.

The latest news: The R country spy is a direct disciple of Ishii Taro of the 733rd Unit before the war. His name is Shuichi Ido and he is a newly trained pathogen expert in R country.

But this afternoon, his office received a call from City S, saying that the conditions of his youngest son and several others had worsened and the chances of survival were almost zero.

He returned home with a pale face, planning to tell his grandfather and wife tonight that his youngest son was critically ill. It was better than receiving the death notice in the end.

After the family finished their meal, he invited the old man, the old lady, his wife, and several sons and daughters-in-law to sit in the living room.

He sat on the sofa and rubbed his hands. He took off his glasses, pinched his brows, put them back on and said, "Old Four was on a mission in S City this time and got infected with a virus. The hospital has issued a critical illness notice."

After saying this, he looked at his old mother first.

The former founding marshal was over seventy years old, with a slightly hunched back and snow-white hair. These features did not make his face look kind at all, but instead revealed the sharpness and dominance in his eyes and eyebrows when he raised his eyes.

He was extremely tall, and his somewhat thin body revealed a large frame, which reminded one at first glance that he must have been an extremely tall and strong man when he was young.

Song Yiyuan looks exactly like his grandfather. His facial features, expression, and body shape are almost identical to his grandfather.

"Did the troops try their best?" Old Master Song asked.

Chief of Staff Song nodded: "All the better doctors in Kyoto have been sent there."

Old Master Song stood up with his cane and went back to the house without saying anything else.

When he left, he pulled Grandma Song up from the chair. He had just seen his wife's face turn purple, her hands tightly gripping the back of the chair, and her breathing became heavier.

But I can't keep holding it in like this. I can't stand being stimulated when I'm old.

"Let's go back to the house first. It's a soldier's duty to sacrifice for their country. Remember this!"

As the youngest child of his generation, Song Yiyuan grew up under the watchful eyes of Grandpa Song and Grandma Song. The affection they had was not comparable to that of ordinary grandchildren. Grandpa Song's words were righteous and were spoken from the perspective of the country.

Even if he was sad, he would only show it when he returned to his room. In his own words, "Soldiers never shed tears, they only bleed." So the old man didn't like the men or women in his family to cry when something happened.

After the two old people left, Song's mother, who had been trying to control herself, burst into tears. How could one not cry when encountering a major event?

The eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Yingying handed over a handkerchief, and Song's mother took it and covered her face with it.

The sons wanted to ask something, but Song Yu waved his hand and asked them to go back to the house first. Was it difficult for her to let her daughters-in-law see her mother-in-law lose her composure like this?

After the sons and daughters-in-law returned to their rooms, Song's mother grabbed Song Yu's arm and asked, "Is there really no hope?"

Lin Yu didn't nod, but said, "That's the most toxic pathogen developed by Unit 733 before the war. The earliest it will be here is tonight, and the latest is before tomorrow morning."

This is the survival time determined by the doctor.

Song's mother finally burst into tears. After crying for a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to S City to see Xiao Si. I'm leaving now."

Song Yu stopped her mother who had stood up and said, "Menghua, it takes seven or eight days to travel from Kyoto to S City. It will be useless for you to go there."

Song's mother turned around with red eyes and said, "Then I'll apply to the army for a helicopter to go there."

Song Yu looked up at her and said, "You know, this is against the rules. The overall environment is unstable right now. If we get caught, what will happen to the eldest, second, and third brothers? I feel as heartbroken as you do, but I think that Xiao Si, as a soldier, finally returned home and sacrificed his life for his country, which is a worthy outcome."

Mother Song shook off Song Yu's hand. She said this only because she was anxious.

She sat down again and turned to ask, "Can Xiao Si answer the phone now?"

Song Xu shook his head: "I can't get out of bed anymore." He didn't intend to say more details, as saying them would only make his wife more upset.

When Song's mother heard what Song Yu said, she covered her face and cried again.

Back in Xin City, Lin Qingqing put Xiuhong and Zhang Xiaoli to bed. After she had rested, she walked to the first bed and whispered to Jiang Haixia, "Send the chief and Commissioner Wang to the ward across the street. Don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

Jiang Haixia nodded, handed the long wooden warehouse to Lin Qingqing, pushed the door open quietly, and knocked on the door next door.

The door was opened by the chief of staff of the S City Army. Jiang Haixia glanced around the room, her eyes lingering on the chief and Commissioner Wang for a second, then she turned and left.

Wang Qiwei immediately realized that it was Lin Qingqing who was looking for him.

Committee member Wang Qi stood up, and the leader followed suit.

They opened the door and saw Jiang Haixia standing at the door of the ward diagonally opposite. She nodded to the leader and Committee Member Wang, then moved a step to the side.

It means letting them in.

The two reacted quickly and walked over...
