Since the small restaurant was vandalized and they couldn't prepare food at home, Grandpa Ye decided to invite everyone to a restaurant for a meal.
Everyone's here to celebrate his birthday, we can't be sloppy.
The soft drinks prepared for the children shouldn't be wasted, so he told the guards to go back and load them onto the car and deliver them to the restaurant.
I had just finished moving my things and was about to leave when the phone rang.
The guard ran inside, answered the phone, and his expression changed drastically.
"Old Chief, it's a call from the border. Chief Ye has had an accident and has been unconscious for several days."
Clang~
The lock that had just been opened fell to the ground.
Old Master Ye's face turned pale. "What's going on?"
My daughter-in-law is a military doctor who is proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. She is quite skilled and has always accompanied my son on his journeys along the border. This situation has never occurred before.
The guard truthfully relayed the contents of the phone call.
"It was my sister-in-law who called back. A few days ago, the junior officer led a team to rescue people overnight, but they didn't return all night. When they were found, all 12 members of the team were unconscious. They went to several hospitals but couldn't find the cause."
"Today is the fifth day since he fell into a coma. His breathing is getting weaker and he is getting thinner. His sister-in-law was worried, so she called back."
What they were worried about was clear to both the speaker and the listener: at the critical moment of life and death, they were afraid that the father and son would not be able to see each other one last time.
The Xiao family was ready, and seeing that Elder Ye hadn't arrived yet, they started croaking.
The pale face on the screen and the sound of someone clutching their chest and collapsing to the ground startled it.
"Master, Old Master Ye is sick. Ugly, please go and take a look at him."
When one person falls ill, help comes from all directions, and a large group of people rushed into the Ye family home.
It turned out that someone else got sick.
"Falling into a coma without any symptoms? That's hardly convincing. Where is he located?"
The knowledgeable Guagua did some quick calculations and had a bad feeling.
"Southwest border, quack, what do you want to say?" Old Ye asked anxiously.
He only has one son, and he doesn't want to bury his child.
Although he died a worthy death for his country, his two granddaughters are too young to bear such a blow.
And the daughter-in-law is so young, and she has a good relationship with her son. What if she can't accept it...?
Southwestern border?
Guagua seemed to be deep in thought.
Xie Lin had been there on a mission before and had heard some rumors.
"Quack quack, you mean..."
"I'm guessing. The ethnic minorities over there do have some unusual methods. Maybe we can contact them to investigate the Gu worms."
Gu worms?
Old Ye's face turned even paler. If they were his own people, they would never use trickery. He was afraid they might have ulterior motives, especially since they were close to the border.
"Xiao Zhong, go make a call quickly."
Xiao Zhong was the guard. He felt that since we were in the southwest, our side should not overlook this aspect.
Sure enough, the reply from the other side was that they had consulted relevant experts but still couldn't find the specific cause, only saying that there had been traces of Gu worms on the body.
The fact that the Gu Master couldn't find out the truth only means that the person who did it was more skillful.
"Sir, your wife means that you should take the two children there as soon as possible."
That's practically a farewell speech.
Old Ye's breathing quickened, his eyes welled up with tears, and his whole body trembled.
"I apologize, everyone, but we are unable to entertain you today."
A joyous occasion could very well turn into a funeral, and I'm really not in the mood for that.
Grandma Xiao and Song Yunjiang's faces darkened.
Are the heroes who defend our country going to perish?
Was it a natural disaster or man-made?
"Brother Ye, don't contact your two granddaughters yet, lest you frighten them. Have Xiao Xie call the military to arrange a plane to go there."
"If the doctors over there have no clue, we'll bring them back for treatment. There's always a way."
Old Master Ye was moved to tears. "Okay, thank you very much."
Shishi whispered to Chou Chou and Gua Gua, the three heads huddled together.
"Ugly, are you sure you can handle that kind of bug?"
"I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure, but as long as we find the root cause, it should be fine."
"I think I can find the bugs by scanning. It's up to you, Master."
"Then let's go, and meet those capable people while we're at it."
She was attacked while rescuing someone, which was clearly intentional; she wouldn't be so naive as to think that the insects had accidentally attacked her.
That thing needs to be nourished by blood, it's very precious, how could it possibly go wandering?
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on our heroes is courting death.
Xie Lin's phone was snatched away before he could say more than a few words.
"Dad, I want to go. Send Xiao Liangzi to pick us up, along with Second Master."
"Shishi, no, if it really is that thing, you will be in danger. You can't take that risk."
Song Yunjiang disagreed, after all, her safety was more important.
Shishi turned away, avoiding looking into her grandmother's worried eyes.
She was determined to see the new species.
Xiao Dan understood her plan as soon as he heard it.
On the surface, it was Master Tao who provided treatment, but in reality, it was a dirty trick.
He wouldn't selfishly stop his daughter from leading the rescue team; after all, it involved 12 precious lives.
But I'm still worried.
No matter how capable a child is, they are still made of flesh and blood. When they face something new for the first time and lose, they may lose their lives.
"Wait a moment, I need to consult with my superiors."
A genius's safety is not something he can decide alone.
As he expected, the higher-ups wouldn't allow it.
The top leader called personally.
"Shishi, don't go. I'll send a private jet to bring her back for treatment."
"What if he can't hold on? My second master is a highly skilled doctor. If I take him there, there might still be a glimmer of hope. But if the back-and-forth trip is too much for him, then it will be too late."
"Then let Elder Tao go..."
"No, I must go. Don't worry, I want to live to be ninety-nine years old. The King of Hell won't dare to take me."
How can she punish the evildoers herself if she doesn't go?
Her mental strength is enough to kill even mutated giant insects, so small insects shouldn't be a problem.
