Chapter 5 Sick Rice
Early the next morning, he went with the chariot to the Procuratorate to report intelligence on Xinghai City, leaving only the lawyer at home.
The lawyer wanted to go with them, but the prosecutor's office was not a place that non-staff members could approach, so he was forced to stay at home.
I went downstairs with my teammates and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw them.
Chen Jiang, with a gossipy look on his face, asked curiously, "I heard that you brought Lu Zhi home, Captain?"
He learned from Zhang Meng that Lu Zhi had said he had fallen in love with their captain at first sight that day, and from Lin Zhi that the captain had brought someone home. His desire to gossip became even more irresistible.
"Slap." The attendant slapped him on the head and said coldly, "Don't get any wild ideas. Lu Zhi is full of suspicious points. It's good to keep him around to observe him."
Chen Jiang rubbed his head in pain and said aggrievedly, "I was just curious."
They soon arrived at the prosecutor's office.
The Huaxia Base is divided into four areas. Area 1 is the administrative area, controlled by the base's government and military. Areas 2 and 4 are residential areas. People with superpowers generally live in Area 2, while people in Area 4 are ordinary people. Area 3 is the production area, which is responsible for the base's supplies. Ordinary people without superpowers need to work in the production area to exchange for living supplies.
The administrative region contains numerous departments, including the General Command, the Procuratorate, and the Department of Supernatural Abilities Control. Non-official supernatural ability teams are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Supernatural Abilities Control, while reconnaissance teams like theirs belong to the Procuratorate, and special forces belong to the General Command.
Actually, he was initially recruited by the Commander-in-Chief, but he didn't like the special forces, so he voluntarily came to the Procuratorate.
As the strongest person in the base, he was known to everyone in Zone 1. Even when passing through the gate of Zone 1, he did not need to be identified; the gatekeepers would let him in.
"Captain Sui, you're back so soon! You're truly amazing."
Everyone they met along the way greeted the chauffeur, but his aloof personality was well-known, so they didn't seem to mind just nodding slightly at him.
...
"This concludes the mission report."
Half an hour later, the attendant handed the report prepared by Tan Qingjia to the leader, his back straight and upright, like a tall pine tree.
"Okay, I understand." Qi Yuan, the deputy director of the prosecution department, pushed up his glasses, read the report word for word, and then asked, "Is that guy named Lv Zhi really alright?"
The attendant calmly replied, "I've checked, and there's nothing wrong with his identity, but there are still some suspicious points. I've decided to keep a close watch on him myself."
Qi Yuan smiled gently and said, "Since they're staying at your house, isn't that basically me personally monitoring them?"
Accompanying passenger: "..."
Qi Yuan waved his hand: "Never mind, I was just joking with you. Is he also a superhuman? I saw on the screen that he's injured. If you have time, take someone to the infirmary to check on him."
"OK."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you." Qi Yuan took out a document from the drawer, pushed it in front of his attendants, and said in a deep voice, "The reconnaissance team in Furong City was completely wiped out. The last message they sent back was that two high-level mutants had appeared in the city, their species unknown. The orders from above are to send a special operations team and a reconnaissance team to investigate. If there really are high-level mutants, they must be dealt with."
Sui Cheng frowned and said, "Furong City was cleaned up before, so why have more mutant species appeared, and two of them are even high-level mutant species?"
Qi Yuan sighed and said, "That's why we have to send you. Everyone knows your strength, and your team is the best choice."
"good."
After leaving the deputy minister's office, the attendant immediately distributed the documents.
They had been to Furong City once before, and this time they were working with the special forces team. Their main task was to find the two advanced species.
...
"Aren't you taking me with you?"
After returning home, Suicheng began packing his things. When Luzhi heard that he was leaving and that his return date was uncertain, he immediately panicked, grabbed Suicheng's hand, and looked resentful, like a wronged couple about to be abandoned.
“Mr. Law, why should our team bring an outsider like you on a mission? Besides, you are injured. I don’t have a habit of bringing sick people on missions.”
"I...cough cough cough." Lu Zhi started coughing as soon as he uttered a word, and the metallic taste of blood in his throat came up again. He was extremely irritated. No matter what it took, he had to go with his entourage.
"I'll take you to the infirmary for a check-up this afternoon. Don't let you die in my house by the time I get back from my mission. I can't take the blame for that." Sui Cheng shook off his hand and changed the subject.
The lawyer was very reluctant to go for a checkup, his face immediately fell, and he whispered, "I have my own healing skills, I don't need to go to the infirmary."
The attendant wasn't buying it and insisted, "You have to go."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't you say you wanted to test if your ability could heal others? After we get to the infirmary, I can find you a patient to try it on. If it really works, I can consider taking you on this mission, but only as a temporary worker."
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up immediately, like a big dog wagging its tail happily, and he nodded excitedly: "Okay!"
Sui Cheng almost hallucinated. The next second, he slapped himself on the head. How could Lu Zhi be a dog? He was more like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
In the afternoon, the lawyer accompanied the passenger to the medical clinic. Because of their status as passengers, the medical clinic arranged a private examination room for them.
Lu Zhi's health was very poor, but Sui Cheng did not expect it to be more serious than he had imagined.
"Mr. Lawyer's internal organs are all ruptured. Even if he has healing abilities, the recovery speed will be extremely slow. It is a miracle that he is alive now. Even if he recovers in the future, his body will be very weak."
Simply put, Lv Zhi is destined to be a weak, helpless, and sickly person who is always out of breath and coughs up blood.
Sui Cheng's face darkened because he remembered his promise to Lu Zhi on the first day: to move out once Lu Zhi recovered from his injury. But given the current situation, it seemed unlikely that this would be possible in the short term.
For the first time, he hated himself for being a good person who kept his promises.
The attendant glanced at the lawyer in the room to make sure he wasn't paying attention, then whispered to the doctor, "Has a foreign infection been detected in his body?"
The doctor glanced at the report and shook his head, saying, "No."
The attendant frowned and asked, "He was injured by the alien species, but he didn't get any infection at all?"
The doctor said, "There may be some from the previous wound, but Mr. Lüzhi has a very good self-healing ability."
The passenger nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked the doctor to find a patient with external injuries.
The doctor quickly found one, and he was even unconscious, which was perfect for the law enforcement skills test.
Lu Zhi glanced disdainfully at the patient's hand that was outside the blanket, concealing his emotions with an indifferent expression, and then began to use his skill.
A pale green light enveloped the patient's wound, and the bloody surface was healing at a visible speed.
The doctor next to him was very surprised. He was extremely rare to find a healing-type ability user of this caliber. It was fortunate that this one had appeared at their base.
The attendant glanced at the doctor and said in a deep voice, "Keep it a secret."
The doctor, who was originally planning to report the information, suddenly shuddered and nodded repeatedly when he saw the warning look in the passenger's eyes.
The patient's wound had almost healed. Lu Zhi withdrew his energy and raised an eyebrow at Sui Cheng, asking, "Captain Sui, what do you think?"
Sui Cheng said, "I am not a person who goes back on his word."
