Chapter 5 The Fallen Marshal
The back garden at night is more mysterious than during the day.
At first glance, the garden is still full of roses and a small pond sparkling with light.
Tong Wanwan looked around but didn't see any small animals.
"Yiyi, where is the little white lion?"
The system was also puzzled: [I saw it just now, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?]
Did he run away?
Or...hiding?
Tong Wanwan was worried and walked around carefully.
Tong Wanwan searched everywhere she could hide, under the shade of trees and among the flowers, but still saw nothing.
The system said in disbelief: [That's impossible. I clearly saw it fall in.]
"Fell in?"
Tong Wanwan recalled the sound she heard, and it really sounded like something falling from the wall.
only……
She moved closer to the backyard wall, looked up, and frowned.
This wall is at least two meters high. Can it really climb in?
Tong Wanwan walked along the wall using the sensor light to search for any corner that showed any unusual movement.
The system apologized in frustration and disappointment: [I'm sorry... Wanwan made this trip in vain.]
"Don't worry," Tong Wanwan comforted her, "Let's look for it again. What if it's still there?"
If the live broadcast fails, there will be many more opportunities.
But if the injured little white lion is still hiding in the backyard and doesn't run away, and she abandons it and lets it fend for itself...
She will feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Finally, a few minutes later, Tong Wanwan found a small tuft of glowing white hair outside the gap between the corner of the wall and the roots of the tree.
[This tuft of hair belongs to the white lion cub! It's still there!]
Tong Wanwan squatted down and found that the scattered white hair was stained with blood. It was obvious that the little white lion had suffered serious injuries.
She looked inside along the gap between the corner of the wall and the roots of the tree, and sure enough, she found a small figure curled up in a circle in a hidden place.
The little white lion is very small, only less than the size of two palms.
The pool of blood on the ground was particularly eye-catching.
The little guy's hiding place was too dark, and the smart light couldn't shine in, so Tong Wanwan couldn't see where it was injured at all.
Not knowing the extent of its injuries, Tong Wanwan didn't dare to take it away rashly.
She moved a little closer and carefully carried the little white lion out, which had fainted in the crack of the corner. While carrying it, she slowly adjusted her posture in the dim light, trying to avoid touching any blood-stained areas.
After taking the little white lion out, Tong Wanwan discovered that the little white lion's limbs were abnormally bent, and it was obvious that there were fractures of varying degrees. Among them, the two hind legs were still bleeding, which were abrasions in addition to the fractures.
She looked at the little white lion's muddy face with concern.
There is blood around the mouth and he has vomited blood.
If it was just a fracture, the situation wouldn't be serious. However, the little white lion fell from a high wall, and its internal organs were most likely damaged, and the possibility of damage to its abdomen and ribs cannot be ruled out.
The system turned on the live broadcast function and notified Tong Wanwan the moment it saw the little white lion.
However, at this moment, it forgot about the live broadcast task and kept staring at the little white lion covered in blood and mud.
[It looks so pitiful... Can Wanwan be cured? ]
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Tong Wanwan's response was both an answer to the system and a promise to the unconscious little white lion.
Tong Wanwan frowned and opened the treatment box with a heavy heart.
First, let's take care of its wound.
The little white lion's furry back, which was not stained with blood, was as white as snow, without a trace of other colors, like a handful of cotton wool.
Tong Wanwan touched its little head tenderly and bandaged its wound skillfully.
Both the system and Tong Wanwan thought that this was just an ordinary little white lion, but they didn't know that it actually had an extraordinary identity.
The little white lion is not an ordinary animal, but the second form incarnation of the federal orcs.
He is actually Marshal Ivis of the Interstellar Federation.
Recently, the war between the Federal Legion and the Zerg army has gradually become increasingly intense, and both sides are showing signs of fatigue.
Ives, who had led federal soldiers in the war zone for three full months, received a notice from the corps commander, Joe Hull: the Second Corps would soon come to support.
The implication is - "We are here to take over."
Even Elvis would get bored if he stayed on a barren and desolate alien planet for a long time.
Just after leaving the battlefield and on the way back to the Federation, the spaceship that Elvis and his subordinates were riding on was suddenly attacked by pirates.
Spacecraft traveling through the universe often encounter sudden attacks from space pirates.
It’s just… like this time, it’s really rare to see them coming in waves.
After dealing with the pirates with his subordinates, the returning spacecraft arrived safely at the Interstellar Federation Military Zone.
As usual, Elvis would take a private aircraft to the center of Federal City to report the war summary to the federal government.
However……
The private aircraft placed at the military base, which had always been well protected, was also tampered with!
The aircraft that Elvis was riding exploded and crashed halfway.
Even someone as powerful as Elvis was injured in this sudden accident.
During the crash, the landing protection device on the aircraft was deployed, but it was immediately scrapped in just two or three seconds.
Obviously, this was not a simple accident, but an action targeting Elvis.
Elvis persisted in the war for three full months, day and night, and was forced to fight against the sudden attack of space pirates on his way back. It was indeed the most tiring time and the time when he was most vulnerable to exploitation.
but……
It was just a moment of carelessness that led to his fall. If he thought that this would kill Elvis, he was too naive.
If a human falls from a height of several thousand meters, he will be crippled if not killed.
During the rapid descent, Elvis transformed into a white lion, using the animal's inherent toughness and perseverance like a rock to minimize the damage to his body when he landed.
"Bang!"
The moment of falling is inevitable, and the pain is like the whole body skeleton is falling apart.
With his body in severe pain and his skin torn, Elvis could no longer maintain the form of an adult white lion. He could only shrink in size and become a cub that did not require much mental support.
He struggled, dragging his temporarily numb hind legs into a corner, and then fainted.
While half asleep and half awake, there seemed to be a very light and sweet whisper.
Keep comforting him in his ears.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"Don't be afraid."
"Hoo-hoo, it won't hurt anymore."
Is this voice... acting coquettishly towards him?
When Elvis opened his eyes from his brief coma and regained consciousness, he found himself falling into a resident's backyard.
The garden, the pond, and... the girl kneeling beside him, bandaging his wounds.
Even though his perspective now was that of a little white lion, he could see that the girl was very petite.
Her pretty face was small, her hands that bandaged the wound were also small, and her waist was slender. No matter how you looked at her, she looked like someone who needed to be taken care of.
