Chapter 682 Chapter 684 Return to Beijing
Zhong Yingying looked at Xia Kai, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself. Xia Kai rubbed her hair and smiled gently. After all, she was his biological sister, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.
Xia Kai's qualifications are very average, and his cultivation level has always been at the bottom in the initial small team. Later, the team gradually expanded, and many newcomers who joined the team surpassed him. Because of his combat effectiveness level and personal wishes, Xia Kai is mainly responsible for internal affairs in the Flame Mercenary Group. He has not left the safe zone for a long time.
Being in charge of internal affairs is safe, but it also means less allowances and extra income. So even if Xia Kai has some power and a high salary, he still has a limited amount of money to earn every month.
Before Zhong Yingying became Xuanxuan's tutor, Xia Kai supported Xia Tian and her daughter with his salary alone. In addition, Xia Tian was in poor health and often asked him for money to buy this and that. Over such a long time, he had not saved any money except for the equipment he had collected before. Now he had used up all his savings to buy this bottle of elixir.
"Mom, it will probably take a few days for the medicine to take effect. Do you still want to go to the hospital today?" Zhong Yingying asked.
"No, no, I want to go back to my room and rest now." Xia Tian said quickly.
"Okay." Zhong Yingying agreed and pushed her back into the house.
During the time that Xia Tian was bedridden, Zhong Yingying still had to go to school, so she asked a woman in her fifties to take care of Xia Tian. Zhong Yingying sent Xia Tian back into the house and then went out.
Xia Kai was waiting for her in the yard. When they left the yard, Zhong Yingying bit her lip and said, "Uncle, her illness is unlikely to be cured. Why are you wasting this money?"
Xia Tian's condition this time is not just heart failure, there are also some other complications, and the condition is very complicated. Yangxin Dan is formulated to treat Xia Tian's heart failure, and it is not a panacea. In this case, I'm afraid the efficacy of the medicine is limited.
"I've tried my best. Just for peace of mind. Yingying, you've tried your best too. I've seen it all. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate to see if she can make it." Xia Kai and Zhong Yingying both knew that Xia Tian might not have much time left. It's not that there are no better doctors in the capital, but with their level and status, they simply cannot reach those people.
Perhaps it is because the space crack above the South China Sea is slowly shrinking, and the fairyland connected by the crack is also stepping up its actions.
On the South China Sea battlefield, Rong Xianxian, Cui Lie and others who were originally scheduled to serve here for half a month were unable to leave on time because of the frequent movements of space cracks and the intense fighting situation on the South China Sea battlefield.
When Rong Xianxian first arrived at the South China Sea battlefield, she killed the seventh-level monster Black Rock Giant Ape. Although the military did not get the seventh-level beast soul, it got the seventh-level monster pill. In addition, Rong Xianxian made great contributions in the first stop. After that battle, she was given the right to choose the spoils first.
The so-called spoils of war are mainly things other than space items obtained from outsiders, such as weapons, robes or accessories with offensive and defensive functions.
The red-robed Taoist priest had three space items. The most important one was different. It was not a ring, bracelet, or storage bag, but a Ruyi with defensive functions. In this case, Rong Xianxian got the Ruyi space without any hesitation.
When Rong Xianxian just arrived at the South China Sea battlefield area, she clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than that in the capital. On the night after the space crack erupted, the concentration of spiritual energy she felt in the military camp was even comparable to that at the bottom of the small river in the foggy space. This also fully explains that the spiritual energy at the other end of the space crack, the so-called fairyland, should be very rich.
No wonder the average cultivation level of the garrison on the South China Sea battlefield is much higher than that of the capital, especially those young officers, whose cultivation is at the peak of the Qi Bridge Realm. There are roughly hundreds of Blood Refining Realm practitioners. You know, most of the five-star mercenary groups in the capital do not have Blood Refining Realm practitioners.
When Rong Xianxian first arrived, she knew Cui Lie and the few people she brought with her, and now she has become familiar with most of the young officers.
Facing the invaders, all those participating in the war were compatriots, and the friendship established on the battlefield was particularly strong. Everyone could be a friend of life and death, especially Yan Xun, Liu Zonghai, Zhou Haiyang, An Lin and others. Because they cooperated a lot with Rong Xianxian, Cui Lie and others, they quickly established a deep friendship.
These people were officers before the end of the world, and they all obtained their military ranks based on their military merits. Although they do not have much real power now, each of them has unlimited prospects. After leaving the South China Sea battlefield, most of them, like Rong Xianxian, will lead troops to garrison in one place. The difference is that Rong Xianxian leads her own mercenary group, while these officers lead the official army.
One and a half months after Rong Xianxian arrived at the South China Sea battlefield, the space crack above the South China Sea had become very narrow, and there had been no movement at the space crack for four days.
In General Pei Jia's military camp, he walked around anxiously. At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent. Xiang Tao didn't bother to report and rushed in. General Pei Jia was more anxious than him, "How is it! Is it okay? If not, the space crack will close!"
Xiang Tao ran too fast and hadn't even caught his breath yet. "Commander, they have calculated the results. The satellite positioning has been set and it will be launched soon. The General Workers' Group is looking for the best entry point."
As soon as Xiang Tao finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound. After the signal flare was fired, a rocket took off into the sky in the direction of the garrison, dragging a brilliant flame at its tail. A violent roar came from the direction of the garrison, and the earth could be felt shaking in the military camp.
After the rocket achieved the initial acceleration, it soared into the sky with a "bang" and accurately pierced into the space crack.
"What, what is this?" Rong Xianxian looked in surprise at the space crack that seemed to be getting narrower.
"Isn't that a rocket?" someone asked.
"The cracks are almost disappearing, why launch a rocket?" An Lin said puzzledly.
"Is there someone inside the rocket?" Zhou Haiyang guessed.
"How is it possible? Look at the speed of this rocket and the fact that it goes out without returning. It's obvious that it's used as a consumable weapon. Maybe it's testing whether it can hit the other side?" Someone speculated aimlessly.
Rong Xianxian listened to the various speculations around her and looked at the sky thoughtfully. The military camp fired a signal flare ordering a retreat. Next, Rong Xianxian and his men stayed in the base for another two days before receiving an order to return to Beijing.
The space crack above the South China Sea battlefield is now invisible to the naked eye. Next, the garrison in the South China Sea battlefield will be evacuated in batches, leaving only one regiment of troops for regular garrison to guard the safety of the coastline and deal with dangers from the sea.
