20. It’s not too much to ask me to beat him to death, right?
After the battle with Selaginella began, wounded people were constantly carried in, and the medical staff and healers were very busy.
Su Liu also helped carry stretchers, give people IVs, bandages, and carry medicines.
There was a shortage of staff in the operating room, so Su Liu was pushed in as a nurse. He went through the disinfection and changed into surgical clothes in a daze, and assisted the doctor.
After the treatment, the doctor said, "You are quite skilled. Are you a medical student who hasn't graduated yet?"
"No, I'm just a passerby." Su Liu worked as a handyman in the hospital of K-72 planet. He only knew some basic medical knowledge and was far from a professional level.
Afterwards, the doctor asked her to follow several more operations. After the wounds of the wounded were sutured, they were handed over to the healers to further promote wound healing.
It was not until the next morning that the alien plant was seriously injured to the point where it could not recover. After being purified by the purifiers, it returned to its appearance as described in the data - a lush green Selaginella.
Su Liu was also very tired, and squatted in the corner again, listening to other people's conversation.
"An 'Extinction'-level alien plant is too difficult to deal with. It's like a phoenix. Even if only a fragment the size of a fingernail remains, it can regenerate quickly. I can't imagine how we can fight it."
"It will also hide its fatal weakness. If you don't find the weakness, you won't be able to shake its true nature at all."
"It can infect any living thing that attaches itself to it, whether it's a bird, an insect, or anything else. Just dealing with these tens of thousands of new alien plants is exhausting the psychics."
"Fortunately, we have Admiral Ives here, otherwise Nanjin City would undoubtedly be completely destroyed this time. If more SSS-level psychics could emerge among humans, we would definitely be able to regain control of the world."
…
Su Liu waited patiently until everything was over and was called to the command room.
All the officers stood here, and Huo Jie Ives, who was at the top, sat behind the long table and expressed his gratitude to Su Liu.
"If you hadn't recognized Selaginella, Nanjin City might have ceased to exist. Here, I can grant you a request as a token of gratitude."
What a grand honor it is to be able to make a request to Admiral Ives.
Everyone thought that Su Liu would ask for wealth, status, or something even more difficult to obtain.
However, across the crowd, Su Liu pointed to Zhang Yanchen who was sitting silently in the corner.
"Is it not too much to ask me to beat him to death?"
For a moment, the generals were in an uproar.
Huo Jie was not too surprised by this request. He only said, "He has seriously violated military discipline and committed violence against ordinary civilians. According to military law, the court itself will make a judgment on him."
It would probably be a demotion or something, which should be enough to make Su Liu feel better. It would be better to choose another reward.
Su Liu picked up a chair and walked towards Zhang Yanchen, "This is my only request, I hope you can agree to it."
As everyone looked at each other in confusion, Huo Jie acquiesced.
Zhang Yanchen stood there stiffly, watching Su Liu dragging a chair towards him like a demon, and the crowd around him automatically dispersed.
He felt a wave of fear.
Ever since Su Liu came to the Zhang family, he had never taken Su Liu seriously.
An orphan of unknown origin, who looks like a shriveled bean sprout, is dull and ignorant, and lacks even the most basic understanding of the world.
Even though he was gradually raised to be a better person by his adoptive father, for him, who graduated from military academy at a young age and was promoted to second lieutenant when he entered the military, Su Liu's existence was just an obstacle.
He had always looked down on Su Liu, and even the last moment on K-72 was considered a farewell forever.
As long as Su Liu dies, the engagement will be automatically terminated and he can marry the woman he loves.
He had been waiting for the day when the news of Su Liu's death would come.
However, he did not wait for Su Liu's death. Instead, now, Su Liu, with the tacit approval of his immediate superior, will vent all his anger in front of everyone.
Standing in front of Zhang Yanchen, Su Liu gave him a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
"On that life-or-death day, when you abandoned Dad and chopped off my arm, you probably never thought that this day would come to you, right?"
Just as Zhang Yanchen was about to speak, Su Liu's chair hit him hard on the head.
Even for a person with superpowers, being hit on the head like this would not be easy.
Zhang Yanchen's nose was bleeding, but more dull attacks followed.
Su Liu raised the chair high and smashed it towards Zhang Yanchen. Then he raised it again and smashed it down again. He raised it again and smashed it down again...
She was not very strong, but at this moment she seemed to be possessed by a demon, and she laughed hysterically while smashing and destroying things crazily.
Zhang Yanchen's mouth and nose were full of blood, and several of his teeth had fallen out. He looked like a clown, being ignored by everyone and being beaten by a little girl who was not even a psychic.
The severe pain and humiliation intertwined into a spider web of rage, making him want to strangle Su Liu's neck.
But under the gaze of a pair of cold green eyes, all the anger and contempt in his heart disappeared, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even dodge.
Su Liu used all her strength to vent her anger. When Zhang Yanchen finally fell to the ground with a bloody head, she cried and laughed, without stopping her brutal attack.
"Dad had his legs torn off by a monster just to save you, but for the sake of your lover, you don't care about Dad's life or death at all!"
"If, in the end, you are willing to take Dad with you to escape, as long as the healer is here, Dad can at least save his life!"
"You are such a heartless person. You have never deserved your father's kindness in raising you!"
"You think you can rise to the top just because we're dead, right? A bastard like you will never have the chance to become a leader in your lifetime!"
In the pool of blood, Zhang Yanchen's face was completely disfigured, but Su Liu still did not stop. He smashed his head fiercely while cursing.
I don’t know how long it took, but a hand reached out and held Su Liu’s wrist.
"He's dying." Huo Jie whispered to stop him.
Su Liu glared at him angrily, "Does this kind of beast need to live?"
"That should be dealt with by imperial law, and you don't have to bear the sin of murder." Huo Jie didn't use too much force. Su Liu's wrist was too slender and would be shattered if he wasn't careful.
Su Liu didn't want to stop, but the admiral's green eyes showed that he would not allow any arguments.
Realizing that revenge was no longer possible, Su Liu gritted his teeth and stared at the dying Zhang Yanchen.
“It’s not over yet.”
"I will kill you."
"You will die more miserably than your father, more tragically, and will never get the ending you want!"
After Zhang Yanchen was carried away on a stretcher, Su Liu finally lost his strength and found a corner and slowly squatted down along the wall.
At dusk, the combat headquarters was dismantled and the troops evacuated in batches.
In the command room, the number of people gradually decreased.
Su Liu woke up from his sleep, raised his head, and met a pair of beautiful and cold eyes, like the clear lake flowing calmly in the forest.
The evening breeze blew by, and Huo Jie's soft black hair fluttered gently.
He squatted in front of Su Liu and asked, "Do you want me to take you back to school?"
Su Liu hugged his knees tightly, turned his head away and said, "I will go back by myself."
"Four thousand six hundred and thirty-nine kilometers. Are you planning to fly back by clinging to the airship propeller?"
"It's none of my business anyway," Su Liu said, not daring to look Huo Jie in the face. He grumbled unconvincedly, "How could a worthless person like me waste the time of Admiral Ives?"
Huo Jie was silent for a moment, without saying an apology. He only teased, "You're like a moldy mushroom right now. No matter what you do, you'll wither soon."
