The closest star to the Vermilion Bird Star is the Kirin Star, which Li Ze can reach in less than half an hour by taking the jump tunnel.
However, even if it were only half an hour, He Xingjue might not be able to hold on.
Li Ze sat in the driver's seat, continuously channeling demonic energy into He Xingjue's body.
This is one of the advantages of signing the contract: if he so desires, He Xingjue can even share his life with him.
However, this is on the premise that He Xingjue has a healthy body.
At this moment, He Xingjue was like a bottomless pit. Let alone sharing life force with him, it would be a miracle if he wasn't dragged to death by Li Ze.
"He Xingjue, you absolutely have to hold on for me," Li Ze said through gritted teeth.
Twenty-five minutes later, Li Ze piloted his mech out of the warp portal.
Whether arriving at a starport or via a jump portal, the first thing a mech does upon arriving on a planet is to register.
When the mecha was stopped, Li Ze opened the mecha window and said, "I'm in a hurry, I'll register later."
After saying that, he piloted his mecha and shot off like a streak of light.
The two soldiers who remained in place looked somewhat dazed.
"Was that Boss Li Ze just now?"
"It's him. But wasn't he on Vermilion Bird Star? I saw him killing Void Beasts not long ago, how did he suddenly end up on Qilin Star?"
"I don't know. But he was speeding just now, should we report him?"
"Uh, I don't think so. The boss said he has something urgent to attend to. He's not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. If he says he has something urgent, then he probably does."
Even in an emergency, you can't break the rules.
"Then go and report it."
"...Then let's forget about it."
It was already past midnight when Li Ze drove his mecha directly to the hospital gate, startling everyone inside.
He leaped down, carrying the mech, and rushed through the gate, shouting, "Doctor, help!"
The doctors and nurses rushed over, and were all surprised to see Li Ze. "Why are you here?"
Li Ze didn't answer their questions. He calmly lowered the treatment pod and said, "Quickly, save them."
The doctors and nurses only then saw the situation inside the treatment pod. When they saw the person inside, they hesitated, wondering if he had been dead for half an hour.
Seemingly knowing what the doctors and nurses were thinking, Li Ze quickly said, "He can still live, you must save him quickly."
The doctors and nurses didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to delay and hurriedly pushed the treatment pod into the operating room.
The moment the operating room doors closed, Li Ze felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
Inside the operating room, the doctors and nurses lifted He Xingjue out of the treatment pod, and the moment they touched his body, they were stunned.
It's still hot!
"Quickly, check the activity of all the body's organs. At the same time, prepare a matching heart."
Outside the operating room, a passing nurse spotted Li Ze and helped him to a nearby bench.
"Are you alright?" the nurse asked with concern.
Li Ze opened his eyes, his voice a little hoarse, "I'm alright, just a bit exhausted. Could you get me a glass of water?"
"Okay, please wait a moment." The nurse left hurriedly.
Li Ze closed his eyes again and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Li Ze slept for a long time, and when he woke up it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Perhaps because he had slept for too long, Li Ze felt dizzy and his body was unusually heavy. Every part of his body ached.
Just then, the nurse pushed the door open and saw that he was awake. She was pleasantly surprised and said, "You're awake? How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you? You had a fever yesterday, it reached 41 degrees Celsius, which scared us to death."
"I'm fine now. Thank you for taking care of me." Li Ze's voice was hoarse, and every word he spoke felt like his throat was being torn apart.
"Please have some water first." The nurse hurriedly poured water for Li Ze.
Li Ze drank three cups before asking, "Where is He Xingjue?"
“Commander He’s surgery just ended an hour ago, and he’s still under close observation. The doctor says his vital signs are relatively stable, so there shouldn’t be any major problems,” the nurse said, then hesitated before continuing, “However, Commander He received a human heart transplant, not an artificial one, so there’s a possibility of rejection. Therefore, we’ll need to continue monitoring him.”
It was quite a coincidence that the heart came from Vermilion Bird Star. The heart's owner had died under the claws of a Void Beast. When he was rescued, his body had already been split in two, and there was no chance of saving him. The recipient had a certificate for organ donation, so the intact organs were promptly sent to Qilin Star.
Li Ze didn't know what rejection was, but since he had survived, he wasn't too worried about what would happen next.
After the nurse left, Li Ze remembered to check his personal terminal. There were more than a dozen missed communication requests and dozens of messages. Most of these communication requests and messages came from Shi Chuan, some from Zhou Yang and Liu Yanzhi, and some from Chen Kaiyang, Wang Duan, and Xu Zhou.
Li Ze sent a message to them, telling them that he was on Qilin Star and that He Xingjue had completed his surgery and was currently out of danger.
On the other side, Ishikawa, Yanagi, and the others who received the message were stunned. They read the message over and over again, and after confirming that they hadn't misread it, their eyes turned red.
"Dr. Liu, do you think this could be true?" Ishikawa asked, his body trembling with suppressed joy and excitement.
Liu Yanzhi shook his head. "I have never encountered such a situation before. Since you have doubts, why don't we set off for Qilin Star now?"
So Liu Yanzhi and his guards hurriedly headed to Qilin Star.
