Chapter 388
Chapter 388
There are many border troops coming and going in the Koria Corridor. The medical area is relatively safe, and the seriously injured border troops are placed here. Luo Xu and the Shuguang Border Army have taken over the full task of protecting the Koria contaminated area. Not only the wounded, they also have to ensure that Mr. Qiu and Shi Qingning can successfully parse all the data in the memory.
The tracking system parsed from the memory was sent to the front line as soon as possible. The Third Star Region Army tracked Kronos many times. After taking over the system from the front line, they immediately locked onto Kronos' escape.
The route of the pollutant was that after escaping silently from the K-UYT track, it did not move away from the border army, but was always moving at the crack point of the pollutant Taino.
The pollutants that invaded the Star Alliance mainly passed through the cracks of Tyno. Originally, the Border Army and the Mecha Alliance had solved most of the cracks, but they did not expect that the pollutant Tyno absorbed a lot of energy. When multiple cracks were destroyed and damaged, it would rationally choose to close the crack points at the border, thus adding more cracks to the Star Alliance.
"According to the news from the front, we can basically locate Kronos now, but it is hiding in a lot of pollutants. We can determine the general area but it is difficult to locate the specific location." The adjutant said, "The Tree of Life is dead. There are many special S-level pollutants on the border. After Taino was destroyed by us, it chose to close some of the cracks on the border and forcefully opened 4 cracks again. Kronos can teleport through the cracks at any time."
The news coming from the front line is not good. Kronos's time flow control has too great an impact on a single pollutant.
They killed a life tree and prevented the formation of Kronos' energy warehouse, but the border was endless. After one life tree died, there was a second life tree. All these pollutants rushed towards the Covenant in this turmoil, and they were unable to defend themselves.
In the control room, news from all over the place were mixed together. Luo Xu looked at them and became more anxious.
At this time, there was a slight knocking sound outside the door. Luo Xu came back to his senses and turned his head to see You Su confronting the border soldiers guarding outside the door. The latter was still wearing a hospital gown, and the wound on his back seemed not to have healed fully, but he stood there like a living ancestor.
When Luo Xu saw You Su, he wondered how this guy got here. "I clearly asked your boss to watch over the medical area!"
"There are too many people in our medical area, and she can't handle it all." You Su's expression was indifferent. He leaned against the perimeter of the command room, "Have you forgotten that this place is Kolya, the territory of Dawn?"
The Shuguang Border Army, the territory where You Su stayed before he retired from the border... Luo Xu looked at You Su. He had forgotten that this brat used to be the top mecha master in the Shuguang Border Special Forces. "If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I would have arranged two border soldiers to keep an eye on you."
"How's the situation on the front line?" You Suo asked directly: "Is it serious?"
"It's not serious." Luo Xu.
You Su: "I'm not blind."
Luo Xu really didn't want to say it, but he knew that if he didn't say it, You Su would find all kinds of ways to investigate. "Not good. Commander Wei locked onto Kronos immediately, but Kronos is too cunning. It seems that they have no intention of retreating to the border and are already moving towards the orbit of HGF-445."
You Su said solemnly: "This is close to the fifth star field."
"Yes, these pollutants are too sensitive to energy. Now that they find they can't seize the K-UYT orbit, they are switching targets." Luo Xu's tone was gnashing his teeth. The strength of the pollutant Tylenol was beyond their imagination. In the latest pollution reaction records, Tylenol's pollution index was already very close to the super S-level index. The current situation on the front line was more difficult than they had imagined.
"The latest intelligence shows that Kronos has passed through the cracks in Taino and arrived near the orbit of HGF-445. The on-site commander is..." Luo Xu suddenly stopped talking here and did not continue.
Silence spread between the two. Luo Xu scratched his head irritably. "The commander on the scene is Lieutenant General Lin Yi."
You Su's eyes moved, and his tone was calmer than Luo Xu had imagined: "Really? He would be the first one to run away if he wanted to die."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in You Su's mind. Theo's voice rang out. He turned around and said, "I have something to do. I'll leave first."
"What's going on?" Luo Xu looked at the people around him.
A border soldier rushed to confirm the news. As soon as he received the news, he said, "Over at the medical room, it seems that the mecha master in the intensive care unit has woken up."
Luo Xu paused: "Is Ying Chenlin awake? Has the doctor come?"
"Just received the news, he should be there." said the soldier.
After Luo Xu confirmed the situation in the medical room, the adjutant looked at Luo Xu next to him and asked, "Major General, you don't have to tell him about this."
Luo Xu looked at the figure who was leaving in a hurry, narrowed his eyes slightly and turned back to the control room. If You Su hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about You Su. That child used to be the most talented soldier in the special forces of the Shuguang Border Army. In time, he might be able to reproduce the style of Ying Lingfeng in the Shuguang Border. But everything stopped in the military exercise 11 years ago.
"Mr. You seems to have always disliked Lieutenant General Lin." said the adjutant.
"He and his father have the same personality. It's not that they are annoying, but they both haven't gotten over that hurdle." Luo Xu looked at the adjutant, "When Master wanted to take heavy weapons deep into the depths to bomb Chronos, I heard that all the superiors present opposed it. Only Lieutenant General Lin remembered Master's instructions."
Luo Xu was in that special team back then. It was supposed to be their team that entered with heavy weapons, but You Yuying took on this task. Even though she had retired, she always remembered the students she taught.
According to the plan, You Yuying was going to place the heavy weapons to strangle Kronos, but the incident happened suddenly. Kronos's abilities and strength were beyond the imagination of everyone at the border of the Third Star Domain. You Yuying decided to go deeper with the heavy weapons and let them detonate the heavy weapons after the stipulated 15 minutes.
When it was almost 15 minutes, no border officer dared to detonate the explosion, and the person who finally gave the order to act was Lieutenant General Lin.
The heavy weapons exploded, Kronos escaped, but You Yuying did not come back.
At that time, You Su was in the joint military exercise team. He was a little kid, the youngest and a minor. He used to be a mecha commander that many people had high hopes for, but he found out that his father had ordered the bombing of his mother. It was after that incident that the relationship between the father and son plummeted. You Su retired after serving for a few years and became like You Yuying, working as a mecha mercenary and a professional mecha master...he became a completely different person.
"I could stop him, but there's no reason not to tell him."
Luo Xu collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "That's his father."
Every time there is news about Kronos, this brat seems to be asking questions about this and that, but in fact, the person he cares about most is who is the on-site commander. How could he not understand? These two father and son seem to be enemies on the surface, but in fact, each of them cares about the other more than the other.
Adjutant: "But Lieutenant General Lin specifically instructed—"
"I don't care." Luo Xu turned his head, "I am directly under the Third Star Region. I will punish you after I kill Kronos."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to instruct his adjutant, "You go there in person and keep an eye on You Su. Don't let him leave the medical area again during this period of time. Just let him stay with his wife and his family members."
"You should also keep an eye on the situation of his family members."
adjutant:"……"
How could he not go!

Fifteen minutes ago, in the intensive care unit, the data on the surface of the medical equipment was jumping in an orderly manner.
When Ying Chenlin opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was the heaviness of his body. It was so heavy that he had difficulty even lifting his eyelids. It was as if an invisible weight was pressing on him, and he had to exert a lot of effort to relieve some of the pressure.
The temperature in the ward was constant, but Ying Chenlin felt an inappropriate warmth. The heat from inside his body was still coming over him, like the pain from a genetic disease in his previous life, or like the cells in his body were constantly reorganizing and reshaping, eventually turning into a deep feeling of fatigue.
He had felt this feeling countless times during his coma.
Staying awake and experiencing this continuous pain, he could hear the hushed discussions of others nearby, the voices of Eric and other doctors while he was lying in the medical cabin, and during the long night, a pair of cool hands held him, slowly removing the heat from his body.
Ying Chenlin half-closed his eyes, his peripheral vision swept across the ward, finally stopping on the peripheral vision not far away.
There was no one there, but it seemed that You Su's spiritual power still remained.
After opening his eyes, the tense string in his heart seemed to relax. All the sounds during this period of time came like flowing water, and the scattered information gathered together little by little, and finally became a clear thread.
The feeling of waking up was no different from the feeling of being in a coma. The only thing that was clear was that he could see the situation around him. The stuffy feeling that made it difficult to breathe was gradually dissipating. He waited for the heavy feeling on his body to disappear. Time passed by minute by minute. It felt like a few minutes had passed, and then it felt like more than ten minutes had passed. ││This││work││by││
Ying Chenlin knew that this was an excited state of mental power, very similar to the time in the Star Alliance Tournament, with an increasingly clear brain and active mental power. He opened his eyes slightly and looked in Yuan's direction. Yuan's voice was very clear, as if it was filled with active mental power.
Next to it was You Su's mecha Theo, as if telling him that his consciousness was clear. You Su was here a few minutes ago and did not go far.
Yuan, who was talking to Theo, seemed to sense the owner's active mental power, and the surface of the key lit up.
"Chen Lin." Yuan's voice appeared clearly in Ying Chen Lin's ears.
Ying Chenlin did not respond. His brain was clear, but he did not have the strength to respond or answer. He resisted the fatigue in his body and tried to regain control of it. He felt his strength gradually returning as he was exhausted, and he wanted to pull off the quilt covering his body.
Theo was originally talking to Yuan. After talking for a long time, he found that Yuan did not respond to him, so he stayed aside disappointedly. Suddenly, he noticed that the fingers on the bed moved, and he was stunned! Immediately responded to Yousu.
The call was disconnected as soon as it was picked up. The two mechas were in a panic, but there was no way to contact the people outside.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, Shen Xingtang, who happened to come to check on the situation, noticed that something was wrong with Ying Chenlin and hurriedly called Dr. Eric.
When You Su hurried over from the control room, he entered the ward first and saw the boy lying on the bed. The boy seemed to notice him, looking at him with half-open eyes, and a smile appeared on his pale face.
People woke up.
The coldness in his body disappeared when he saw this smile. You Su held onto the door frame, and before he entered, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. On the other side of the corridor, Dr. Eric received the news and ran over with a group of doctors, even alarming the Dawn Mecha Warriors who were resting in other wards.
Everyone rushed to the door of the ward and surrounded it, watching the doctor put various data examination instruments on Ying Chenlin. Doctor Eric knew that Ying Chenlin didn't have the strength to speak, so he asked him to respond by blinking. After several responses, the test data were beyond expectations.
"The mental strength is very stable."
"His mental strength has stabilized at 7,000 and has not dropped."
"How's your health?"
"I still have a low-grade fever, but my body indexes are stabilizing."
The experts' discussion was heard by the Dawn Mecha Masters standing outside the ward. Everyone had an expression of joy on their faces. He woke up and was getting better, which was a good thing! This means that Ying Chenlin has passed the critical period and is now just waiting for his body to recover.
The conversation between Dr. Eric and the others seemed to be right in his ears. Ying Chenlin tried to breathe more calmly, relieve the discomfort in his body, and cooperate with the doctor's examination, but his brain couldn't help but think about everything.
As his clear mind came into contact with more information, he kept summarizing the information he had heard during the past few days in a coma. He listened to Eric talking to other doctors about the activity of infectious factors, and some academic terms that he could not understand.
Encountering the [Alien] in Kolya was just an accident, and being infected by the alien was also an accident, but when he came into close contact with Chronos in the K-UYT orbit and felt the pressure of the contaminants on the mecha, the bizarre trance was the same feeling he had before waking up in his 18-year-old body a few years ago.
The alien infectious factor might have really helped him, but Ying Chenlin knew better than anyone else that if it was
In the real timeline, he was actually like the other two patients mentioned by Dr. Eric. He suffered from repeated stimulation from the source of infection, and finally his body could not resist the worsening of the infection and he died.
Not in this timeline, but in his previous life when his illness was the most serious, which was also the stage when he resonated most deeply with Kronos.
At that time, his body had been deeply affected by the source of the infection. Perhaps in the KID maintenance room, Chronos resonated deeply with him and brought him back to this timeline when he was dying. He passively returned to the age of 18.
After a round of examination, the doctors confirmed that Ying Chenlin was conscious and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After recording the data, all the doctors hurried to a meeting to discuss the examination data. As soon as the doctors left, the mecha technicians outside the room rushed in, and everyone crowded forward to see Ying Chenlin's condition.
Ying Chenlin saw his friends who were looking worried and nodded to them.
A group of people came in but didn't dare to speak loudly. They looked left and right, and were finally driven out by Shen Xingtang. Several captains led the mecha technicians away, telling Ying Chenlin to rest and come back later.
"Let's watch it for a while!"
"Go back to the medical bay and lie down."
"Why doesn't Brother You lie down!!! His injuries haven't healed yet!"
Huo Yan turned around and went to bring You Su out, "You go first, I'll bring him back."
"You go first." You Su said, "I'll look after him for a while."
Before Huo Yan could say something, he saw You Su walk into the medical room and close the door.
After Shen Xingtang finished sending people over, she saw Huo Yan standing outside. She looked through the small window on the door to see what was going on inside. After a pause, she said, "Forget it. Let him stay for a while. You go back first."
The noisy sounds were shut out by You Su, and the noisy room suddenly became quieter.
You Su was looking at the person on the hospital bed, and Ying Chenlin was also looking at him.
"They are too noisy. You need to rest." You Su walked to the medical equipment, watched the data on it stabilize, and finally pulled a chair and sat down next to the bed.
Ying Chenlin followed him with his eyes, watching You Su's movements. When he stopped in front of him, he asked weakly, "...Why don't you touch me anymore?"
Although his voice was weak, You Su still heard his needs accurately.
"Ying Chenlin, next time if you have something to say to me, tell me in advance, don't hide it from me, okay?" You Su touched the boy's hand, carefully holding his hand, rubbing his fingertips again and again to help him relieve the soreness of his fingers, "Are you cold?"
"Hot." Ying Chenlin felt the temperature on the back of his hand and wanted to cool down a little.
You Su knew that his condition was still unstable. "Be patient, the temperature cannot be lowered."
The pain in Ying Chenlin's limbs turned into fatigue, but his brain was still very clear under the influence of his mental power. He kept looking at You Su. It seemed that You Su had not taken good care of himself in the past few days. He had not shaved his face clean, and the hand he held was a little colder than usual.
The ward was very quiet. Ying Chenlin didn't say anything, and You Su didn't take the initiative to communicate.
After a long while, You Su finally heard Ying Chenlin's next request -
"Yousui... squat."
You Su paused for a moment before realizing that Ying Chenlin was talking about squatting.
He squatted down facing Ying Chenlin, looking him level in the eye as he lay on the hospital bed.
Ying Chenlin's eyes were very clear and transparent. Their eyes met for a while, and he raised his lips and teeth slightly as he made the next request, "Turn... and take a look."
"Clothes." Ying Chenlin said again.
You Su paused, turned his head and met the boy's clear eyes. He held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "What's so good about it?"
"Let's take a look." Ying Chenlin said again.
You Su had no choice but to unbutton his hospital gown and half-took off his shirt while carrying Ying Chenlin on his back.
The half-open back revealed bandages wrapped from the waist to the shoulders. When they were untied, the smell of medical agent could be clearly smelled. You Su had old injuries on his back. The bandages were superimposed on his old scars, and seemed to have expanded a little outwards, with new and old scars overlapping each other. At that time, the two of them were very close to Kronos. He knew his injuries and also knew that You Su's injuries were not light.
A wound like this would heal with a few days of rest, but it was obvious that this man did not do that. One could see a few new bandages on top of the worn-out bandages, and the technique was messy, so it must have been tied by You Su himself.
Ying Chenlin's hands were warm. When they touched You Su's back, You Su shuddered inadvertently, and all the muscles in his body tensed. He could feel the fingers resting on his back, very lightly, and each movement seemed to be laborious, the fingertips pressed against the bandage on his back, resting on the scars that had opened previously. The force of the fingers was very light, so light that it seemed like it was soothing the scar, or like it was looking at something carefully.
You Su squatted for a long time, until the people behind him stopped moving, then he looked back.
"Brother You." The boy looked at him with a smile on his face, and his voice gradually became steady: "Listen to the family members... go to the medical cabin."
-*
Shen Xingtang ran to confirm the situation with Eric. When she came back, she saw You Su coming out of the room. He did not stay in the medical room like before. He nodded at Shen Xingtang and walked straight back to his room.
In the next few days, Shen Xingtang didn't see You Su come on time like before. After asking around, she found out that You Su had been staying in the medical cabin obediently these days and only came to see Ying Chenlin after the treatment was over.
You Su has a double S physique, and the injuries on his body can heal even if he doesn't go into the medical cabin for half a month.
Shen Xingtang didn't say anything because he couldn't be persuaded. He thought that being injured was a good thing. At least this man wouldn't suddenly run from Koria to the front line.
The patient suddenly became obedient. The medical soldiers who were taking care of You Su shed tears of excitement. Luo Xu, who was busy in the control room, even took the time to come and see him. It seemed as if he had seen some rare scene. He also asked the military doctor to check You Su's brain.
When Ying Chenlin just woke up, his body was not fully recovered, but after two days, his physical condition began to recover rapidly, and various body indexes gradually returned to healthy values.
On the third day, Ying Chenlin was able to get out of bed. If his face had not been still pale, Eric would have almost thought that he had fully recovered.
The most shocking thing was Ying Chenlin's physical condition. Originally, his physical condition had been fluctuating between AS, but after a few days of recovery, his physical index was no longer as unstable or fluctuating as before, as if under the impact of the two infectious factors in his body, it had recovered to a new peak value.
Doctor Eric was worried so he asked Ying Chenlin to have a physical examination. When he got the latest test results, he was shocked to see an 'S' rating on the machine. He thought there was something wrong with his test, so he quickly called in an expert to do several consecutive tests. Finally, he confirmed that Ying Chenlin's physical condition had not deteriorated after this incident, but had recovered to an S level.
This physique is not as good as that of S in his peak period, but it is already a miracle in medical history.
Shi Qingning visited Ying Chenlin several times despite his busy schedule. Each time he came late at night and was resting when he came. But when he learned that his condition was stable, he quickly rushed back to the laboratory to continue decoding the memory left by Shi Xuejun.
Ying Chenlin once regained consciousness and communicated with him for a while, but not long after, he was called away by an emergency in the laboratory.
Shi Qingning did not tell him what the emergency was, but only said that he would tell him after everything was investigated.
After the situation stabilized, Eric allowed him to get out of bed and walk around. When he was able to walk, he walked outside the medical room and found that the medical room seemed to be polarized from other places. This area was a resting place for the Covenant mecha divisions, and news from the outside world was not circulated very well. Only a small number of border troops came in and out of here every day, and they could not get any other news.
Although the medical room was quiet and stable, the hurried coming and going of border troops told everyone that the situation was not stable.
"I just saw that the access code to the medical room corridor has been changed!" Ji Qingfeng came back after getting the news. "It was said that Major General Luo personally gave the order, saying that the wounded always sneak out, so he simply locked the medical room. I can't go out to get the news."
After Ji Qingfeng finished speaking, everyone looked at You Su.
You Su said nothing and handed the nutrient supplement to Ying Chenlin next to him.
"You guys can't do it now, right?" Zhao Lejie looked at everyone and immediately called up another communication box. This box blocked their way out to get information, but did not block their external communications. "This is up to you brothers."
Lin Yao: "What brother——"
As soon as Ying Chenlin turned around, he saw that Zhao Lejie's communication was connected to the Gale Mecha Base on the surface, but in fact it was connected to a unified communication channel called the Mecha Alliance Wartime Communication Group.
"The United Front Group of the Five Star Regions Mecha Alliance." Qi Sicheng said, "Someone outside the Gale has contacted Team Wu, and she has brought us the latest news."
The author has something to say:
There are 2 more chapters, I guess I will write them later, everyone please read them tomorrow morning~
Hahaha, it seems like a lot of cuties misunderstood the foreshadowing table in the last chapter. There are many, but it has been laid out almost completely.
What worries me is how to uncover it. There have been a lot of puzzles and secrets in the last few chapters, and we should be entering the final battle soon.
I will write more in the next few days and will soon finish the main text. When the time comes, I will open a separate post for other side quests, team quests, and emotional quests and ask for everyone's opinions.
