After dealing with the confused Wei Lan, Gu Qiongsheng finally got a chance to rest.
After fighting several battles, she was extremely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep almost the moment her head touched the bed.
The sleep was relatively sound, but not for long. About four hours later, Gu Qiongsheng woke up. She lay quietly in bed for a while longer when she heard a slight knock at the door.
It was very light, as if testing her, not wanting to disturb her deep sleep.
Gu Qiongsheng stood up and opened the door, only to find Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Feng standing outside. Zhou Feng leaned against the door frame and winked at her, "Are you awake?"
"Are you hungry? I brought you some food."
There were no fine foods on the spaceship, and the staff were busy cleaning up the mess, so all Zhou Feng brought were ordinary nutritional supplements.
But Gu Qiongsheng did feel his stomach rumbling. The treatment could heal the wound, but it could not fill his stomach.
She smiled apologetically, opened the door and invited Zhou Feng in, then asked, "Sister Zhou, how are my teammates?"
Zhou Feng raised his brows slightly: "I was just about to say this. Don't worry, the medical resources on the spacecraft are sufficient, they are all fine."
"And... the medical team wanted to see you, but you were resting and they were busy, so I turned them away."
"You don't mind?"
Gu Qiongsheng hurriedly shook his head.
Of course I don’t mind!
She could easily guess why the medical team wanted to see her. It was simply because her healing skills were too flawed and beyond the inherent understanding of modern federal medicine.
But Gu Qiongsheng really couldn't explain this.
She doesn't mind using her abilities to help more people, but the less trouble this kind of explanation has to go through, the better.
Zhou Feng added, "Also, Professor Wei also clamored to see you, saying he wanted to 'prove a new idea,' but I turned him away."
"He's a man who doesn't care about his family when it comes to scientific research. If you get dragged away by him, you won't be able to rest well for at least three days."
Gu Qiongsheng nodded with lingering fear.
It’s true... She has seen how fanatical Wei Lan is.
A scientific research workaholic, not to be trifled with.
After a pause, Gu Qiongsheng asked again: "What about the other students? Are they all okay?"
Zhou Feng's smile froze slightly, and the corners of his lips gradually tightened.
"How should I put it," she scratched her hair helplessly, "there were certainly casualties, and the Federation also lost... well, let's not talk about that. But thankfully, thanks to your team stepping up, the casualties of this incident have been minimized."
"We're still compiling the specific information, but once it's reported, I think I'm going to be awarded a third-class merit."
Zhou Feng's tone lightened up again, and he smiled, "If I'm lucky, maybe I can even get a second-class merit."
Gu Qiongsheng was stunned.
Is it so good?
She was a little curious and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Zhou Feng only said vaguely: "Whether you can win the second-class merit depends on whether Professor Wei can give you enough support..."
After a few more brief chats, Zhou Feng prepared to leave.
Although the purpose of her visit was to improve her relationship with Gu Qiongsheng, it would not be appropriate for her to stay for a long time and disturb Gu Qiongsheng's rest.
Before leaving, Gu Qiongsheng asked politely, "By the way, Sister Zhou, do you know the situation of the Dawn Legion?"
Zhou Feng asked in surprise: "Dawn Legion?"
Her expression suddenly became extremely strange, and she shook her head at Gu Qiongsheng: "I know a little, but only a little, not a deep understanding."
"Anyway, stay out of the Dawn Legion's affairs. Even the top brass in the Federation are very reluctant to mention them. Dawn... well, it's almost become a taboo word."
Gu Qiongsheng quietly clenched his right hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "My father used to serve in the Dawn Legion..."
Zhou Feng's expression suddenly froze.
She turned her head and her eyes fell on Gu Qiongsheng's anxious face. There was only surprise in her expression, but no disgust or aversion.
The woman was silent for a long time, many complex emotions flashing in her eyes, but in the end she said nothing and just sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do about this."
Zhou Feng whispered, "If you really want to know, then work hard to become stronger."
"If one day you can become an S-class warrior, you will probably know the truth of what happened back then."
…
Zhou Feng's attitude caught Gu Qiongsheng off guard.
Is there something else hidden behind the Dawn Legion’s crimes against humanity?
...Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Zhou Feng's vague avoidance of words, nor the federal high-level officials' secretive concealment.
If it was just a simple rebellion or a frame-up, shouldn't it have been concluded long ago?
Instead of the current situation, where the investigation has made no progress, the truth is nowhere in sight, and even the entire process of the incident is refused to be disclosed. It has to go through layers of encryption and is locked in the military region's highest authority database.
After thinking for a while in the room, Gu Qiongsheng grabbed the bed sheet and sighed helplessly.
Well, judging by the current conditions, she hasn't reached the level where she can touch that secret.
We still have to become stronger!
...S-class warrior?
No problem, that day will not be far away.
A few hours later, Gu Qiongsheng received a message from his teammates.
She immediately went to the lounge, where Zhou Qing and the others were waiting, safe and sound. Seeing Gu Qiongsheng arrive, they immediately surrounded her in surprise, cheering, "Sister Qiongsheng!"
"team leader!"
"We're still alive! Oh yeah!"
Seeing her teammates jumping around, Gu Qiongsheng finally felt relieved. She smiled and nodded, her eyes scanning everyone's faces before suddenly pausing.
"...Where's Qin Yuan?"
The teammates looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "I'm not sure. Boss Qin isn't in the same treatment room with us."
"It seems he was sent to another room... But when he woke up, we specifically asked the doctor, and he said he was fine and just needed to rest."
Gu Qiongsheng pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"It's okay," Han Tianming said. "Brother Qin is so good, there will definitely be no problem. By the way, Captain, how are the examiners going to rate the league now that it's like this?"
She covered her cheek and playfully stuck out her tongue, "Please don't say this result is invalid. I want another match or something. I don't want to go to a place like Weilun Star again."
Gu Qiongsheng glanced at her and said with a smile, "Then... do you want the Third Class Merit?"
Han Tianming: “!!!”
Not only her, but everyone was shocked.
When Qin Yuan said it at that time, everyone thought it was just a joke to lighten the mood, but they didn't expect it to come true?
Gu Qiongsheng smiled and patted Han Tianming's shoulder.
Zhou Feng had already told her that their team had made an indelible contribution in minimizing the losses in this inter-school league; they were just college students, but they were able to kill an entire Silent Bug, an achievement far beyond that of ordinary people.
The Federation is now eager to recruit talented people, and perhaps they will be made role models to encourage all students.
Therefore, he is definitely going to get the "third-class merit" that matches the soldiers of the Legion.
The team members all showed joy, even the introverted Zhou Qing smiled happily.
Receiving military honors while still a high school student is incredible, isn't it?!
With this military merit, even if they don't get a special recruitment spot, they can basically choose any of the top war academies.
The future can be said to be smooth sailing.
A few people gathered together and chatted happily for a while. Suddenly, a staff member from the medical team ran over and asked breathlessly: "Excuse me, is this Gu Qiongsheng, classmate Gu?"
"I heard that your healing skills are very powerful. Can you do us a favor?"
Gu Qiongsheng was stunned for a moment and agreed happily.
She has rested enough now, and her mana bar is almost full. She can definitely help the medical team share some of the treatment work... as long as the other party doesn't ask about the principles of her skills.
As he approached the treatment chamber, Gu Qiongsheng heard a series of loud, angry voices from afar: "Team B, hurry up and use the tissue repair fluid!"
"That student is fine. Carry him out and the next one will come in right away!"
"Hurry, hurry—what's going on? Why are you still dizzy?"
"This one needs care due to his disturbed mental state. Carry him inside and give him a shot of nutrients."
"No, where's Xiao Cuiren?! Where did he go when he was so busy?"
The staff member who pulled Gu Qiongsheng over was the "Xiao Cui" the other party had been shouting. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head at Gu Qiongsheng. He ran in first and responded, "I'm coming!"
"Doctor Zou, I brought the candidate who is said to be a therapist."
The angry voice in the room suddenly stopped.
A moment later, hurried footsteps were heard, and a figure suddenly opened the door, looking outside with a scrutinizing gaze: "...Are you the therapist?"
…
Dr. Zou graduated from the best medical school in the Federation and received further training in logistics at the War College. He had participated in military missions and fought on the battlefield, so he considered himself knowledgeable.
He did not develop any healing talent and was not considered a healer. He simply relied on his top medical and surgical skills to save the lives of countless soldiers.
No matter how serious the bloody wounds were, as long as the person was not dead, Dr. Zou would dare to try - as long as he could keep them breathing and transport them back to the treatment chamber, with the Federation's advanced biotechnology and intelligent means, there would always be a way to save their lives.
That's why Dr. Zou has always looked down on therapists.
He is so slow and has no skills. At most he can help to sort out his mental energy, which is too useless.
In comparison, traditional medicine still has a future!
Therefore, Dr. Zou has always been a staunch supporter of traditional medicine. In his opinion, all kinds of treatments and therapists are just trivial matters. When it comes to saving lives and healing the wounded, they still have to rely on them.
But Dr. Zou also has a hurdle that he can't overcome.
He could sew wounds, implant organs, and treat emergency internal bleeding. When the chips were down, he'd even performed a direct craniotomy on the battlefield.
But no matter what, he couldn't heal the damage to his mental strength.
Not only him, all traditional medicine doctors can't deal with this.
This is why Dr. Zou is unwilling to accept it, but has to admit that psychotherapists still have some value - but the therapists are not very good at treating injuries. They are slow and painful. They can't treat serious injuries, and the soldiers are too lazy to treat minor injuries, preferring to recover slowly on their own.
Nothing to say, just awkward.
However, when taking over the treatment of the inter-school league this time, Dr. Zou discovered several strange students among the patients.
There were traces of trauma on his body, but the wounds were not deep, as if they had healed naturally for several days - and they were healing well without infection or bacterial growth.
He had internal injuries and bleeding, but it seemed that he had been well treated, so he didn't need to do anything and could be directly pushed into the treatment chamber to be treated.
The most amazing thing is that even though they had experienced battles, their psychic weapons had been constantly colliding with the Zerg. Logically, their psychic power should have been more or less damaged and contaminated.
How come the test results show that these students are so lively and their mental activity index is much higher than that of healthy people?
This is unreasonable!
Doctor Zou felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help asking a few questions.
As a result, he received a uniform answer: "Our captain is a healer."
Therapist?
Dr. Zou sneered and thought that if a therapist could reach this level, he would have changed his career to study healing arts long ago.
There were so many classmates in the class back then. Who didn’t have fantasies about therapists, and who persisted after trying them?
Doctor Zou had originally thought these students were just talking nonsense and shouldn't be bothered, but then Lieutenant Colonel Zhou of Yinhui happened to pass by and chimed in, "Gu Qiongsheng, your healing skills are truly remarkable. Once she's rested, if you're truly overwhelmed, you could ask her for help?"
Doctor Zou: “???”
What the hell, even the lieutenant colonel of the legion said so?
He was extremely suspicious, but when he thought about the fact that he, as a doctor, had to find patients to help with treatment, he felt that it was really too lame.
Dr. Zou gritted his teeth.
No matter how tired or busy he is, he can handle it and doesn't need any therapist!
But what he never expected was that while he could hold on, his assistant doctor was the first to become exhausted and secretly ran to pull Gu Qiongsheng over.
At this moment, looking at the quiet and well-behaved Gu Qiongsheng outside the door, Dr. Zou felt a dull pain in his teeth. He glared at his assistant unhappily and tried to slow his voice: "Please come in."
"Thank you for coming to help at a time like this. We appreciate your kindness. The treatment rooms are limited, and some students are seriously injured. Have you studied medicine? Uh, no?"
"...Then please help us push the students in the beds on the left into the treatment room. Their mental strength is damaged, and there are no rescue facilities here. They can only rely on themselves to heal."
Gu Qiongsheng's ears trembled slightly: "Is your mental strength damaged?"
She smiled politely at Dr. Zou and said softly, "Don't worry. Although I haven't studied medicine, it shouldn't be a problem for me to treat some minor mental damage."
The author has something to say:
It’s time for the transition chapter, wow wow wow I’m starting to get stuck QAQ I still have to think carefully about how to set up the next part of the big plot… Whisper: Should we maintain the third place and strive for the sixth place during this period?
