Chapter 84 The CEO's Exorbitant Treatment Price

Before anyone could react, Zhou Zhiheng had already snatched Ning Shuyin from Situ Linchen's arms.

[Target person Situ Linchen's favorability has increased, currently at 30 (when together).]

[Target Zhou Zhiheng's favorability rating has increased; currently at -50 (dangerous).]

At this moment, Ning Shuyin, who was in a coma, could not hear the system's announcements at all.

On Zhou Zhiheng's usually flamboyant handsome face, there was the displeasure of having "his own possessions" damaged.

"Bring me my first aid kit!" Zhou Zhiheng ordered his subordinates.

One of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and opened a black metal box.

It was filled with all sorts of dazzling items.

Those that Zhou Zhiheng could put into his private first aid kit are rare treasures that are hard to find in the universe.

He casually took out a crystal and placed it on Ning Shuyin's forehead.

Immediately, she was enveloped in a hazy white light.

"The Essence of the Primordial Beginning!" someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice.

Seeing that Ning Shuyin still did not react, Zhou Zhiheng took out a green crystal from the box and put it into Ning Shuyin's palm.

The girl was immediately enveloped in a layer of green light.

Zhou Zhiheng showered her with precious items as if they were free.

Each treasure, having exhausted its energy, lost its luster and became as dull as ordinary iron. He then carelessly discarded it on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhiheng took out another crystal bottle.

“It’s Time Dew,” someone recognized it.

A single drop of this stuff on the black market can be exchanged for ten years of mining rights to an asteroid.

Zhou Zhiheng, however, treated it like a bottle of plain water, unhesitatingly uncorking the bottle and pouring it into Ning Shuyin's mouth.

That's enough.

Situ Linchen reached out to stop him.

Zhou Zhiheng raised his head, his eyes flashing with danger: "Get out of the way, don't delay me from saving people."

As he spoke, he issued a series of orders: "Clear out the entire top floor of the Royal Hospital. Within ten minutes, I need a medical aircraft to land at the entrance to pick up people. If you can't do that, you can all go back to the garbage planet."

"I'll say it again, that's enough," Situ Linchen said angrily. "Her injury is currently unclear, and it's not an external injury. These things of yours have mixed effects, and using too much of them might worsen the injury."

Zhou Zhiheng froze for a moment, then said indignantly, "That's still better than doing nothing."

Situ Linchen looked at Ning Shuyin in his arms, her pale face covered in blood, his eyes darkening.

"Muze, how much longer until the fleet's medical aircraft arrives?"

In the past few minutes, Situ Linchen has completed the deployment.

"Reporting to the Marshal, there are three minutes left," Mu Ze replied quickly.

Situ Linchen reached out and pulled Ning Shuyin back from Zhou Zhiheng's arms.

For him, in that unknown battle in the virtual world, Ning Shuyin was his only comrade-in-arms, who pulled his soul back from the endless darkness.

This profound bond made him feel for the first time that he needed to fight for the "right to dispose of" her.

He glanced at Zhou Zhiheng and said coldly, "The fleet's aircraft have the military's best doctors, and I've also contacted the Royal Hospital. Loran is on standby."

"I will take full responsibility for her safety."

After saying that, he stood up with the girl in his arms and strode towards the dedicated helipad.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiheng's expression darkened further, but he did not argue any further.

He gestured with his finger, signaling his subordinates to follow. He also hurried towards the tarmac.

A fierce wind was blowing on the rooftop helipad of the Royal Hospital.

Loran, dressed in a white research lab coat, stood in the center of the tarmac.

His short silver hair was ruffled by the airflow, and his ruby-like eyes gazed at the distant sky.

On the horizon, a dark "cloud" was approaching at an alarming speed.

Only when you get closer can you see clearly that it's not a dark cloud.

It was a huge formation of aircraft.

Leading the group was a flagship-class hospital ship bearing the emblem of the Allied Fleet.

Several escort fighter jets followed closely behind, making it look like they were heading to the front lines.

To the left of the military formation, a similarly sized squadron of private aircraft was flying alongside them, showing no signs of weakness.

Those private aircraft were luxurious and ostentatious in design, with the Phantom being Zhou Zhiheng's personal vehicle at the head.

Those who don't know the situation might think that a small-scale air battle is about to break out on Planet A.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two fleets arrived over the tarmac almost simultaneously.

The engine was deafeningly loud.

A strong airflow pressed down, almost lifting the entire roof off.

Behind Loran, the senior medical staff whispered among themselves: "Who is it? Someone with such influence that they've summoned us all? They've even pre-activated the gene stabilization device?"

"Could it be that some interstellar leader was assassinated at the summit?" the head nurse speculated softly.

A bespectacled assistant doctor shook his head, his tone cryptic: "This setup suggests the Marshal himself has suffered a near-fatal injury..."

Finally, the hatch opened.

All eyes were on them.

Fleet medical personnel escorted Situ Linchen out.

Upon seeing that the Alliance Marshal was unharmed, the medical personnel quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Their gazes shifted to the slender figure nestled in Situ Linchen's arms.

From a distance, all that could be seen was a head of black hair hanging down his arm.

Situ Linchen hurriedly walked towards Luo Lan and placed Ning Shuyin on the medical bed.

The Loran Medical robot "Xiao Lan" flew over and began circling the hospital bed.

Soon, a complex set of vital signs data was updated.

Situ Linchen looked anxiously at Luo Lan, but Luo Lan remained expressionless and offered no explanation.

Zhou Zhiheng also quickly stepped off the Phantom.

A group of people crowded around the medical bed and rushed towards the intensive care unit. The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed the person on the bed might stop breathing at any moment.

Inside the ward, all the equipment was connected.

Loran finished reviewing the depth scan data.

He took off his gloves, threw them into the treatment tank, and turned to look at the two anxious-looking men with a somewhat amused expression.

"Alright, stop looking so worried. She's fine."

He casually dropped the conclusion, finally easing the tense atmosphere.

"He just fell asleep because he was exhausted from both physical and superpower use."

"Excessive consumption, can it be like this?" Zhou Zhiheng clearly didn't believe it, staring at Luo Lan with her beautiful eyes.

Loran glanced meaningfully at Situ Linchen with her red eyes: "Of course, there are other reasons as well, such as the fact that her sea of ​​consciousness was repeatedly washed by an extremely domineering energy, resulting in overdraft."

Zhou Zhiheng turned to look at Situ Linchen: "It really is you!"

Situ Linchen was extremely displeased by what was said, but he had no way to refute it.

He said to Loran in a deep voice, "The situation was urgent at the time, and the virtual world was about to collapse. The only way to survive required highly synchronized mental guidance, and she took the initiative to establish a resonance link. The energy was mine, but it was not out of control."

He looked at Ning Shuyin's pale face with a guilty gaze.

Lorraine didn't seem to care about the subtle exchanges between the two men.

He looked at Ning Shuyin's physiological data: "Interesting. As a novice navigator, she withstood an energy impact of SSS intensity. Anyone else would have been brain dead on the spot."

He had no reason to hide it.

The two men present, having personally experienced the ordeal, must have discovered her precious value.

Hmph, claiming to be an F-rank, who are you trying to fool?

Zhou Zhiheng's expression shifted between light and shadow.

He used so many rare materials, yet he couldn't even save someone who was simply overexerted.

It's because all his treasures are used to bring the dead back to life.

Who knew she only had a minor injury? It was like using a planet-destroying cannon to kill a mosquito—it had absolutely no effect.

Zhou Zhiheng was making plans in his mind.

Should the bill be sent to Situ Linchen or Ning Shuyin?

His purple eyes swept over the unconscious girl.

Although she did not meet his requirements.

But her abilities were greater than he had imagined.

Perhaps... the matching results from the Rose Society... are absurd, but not too far off?

At this moment, Situ Linchen summoned Mu Ze: "Issue the order. This cinema incident involves a mechanical race invasion, so it must be immediately classified as a top-level military secret."

"Effective immediately, Ning Shuyin will be placed under the special protection of the Alliance Fleet."

As soon as she finished speaking, the personal terminal on Ning Shuyin's wrist suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Su Qianqian.
