Chapter 167 Awakening in the Ward
"Drip... drip... drip..."
The equipment in the ward followed the changes in the indicator lights, making regular sounds, and the data displayed on the screen also slowly passed, indicating that the patient's current condition was stable.
A burst of pain came from all directions, waking Valk from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the light blue ceiling above his head, then tried to sit up, but the pain from his waist and abdomen made him give up the idea for the time being.
"Lie down first, don't try to use force." A slightly younger voice came from the side, and Valk turned his eyes and looked to the side.
A young-looking male doctor was standing beside him, carefully observing the various data on the instrument. He also had an electronic recording board in his hand, writing down some key information.
After observing and recording, he put away the recording board and approached to ask.
"This is the hospital department of Edes Academy. How do you feel now?" He showed the sage silver nameplate on his white coat.
Nameplate: Patrich Francati, Light Feather Sequence 6, Senior Recovery Physician
As the best physician in Edes Academy, even though he has been responsible for the physical examinations of many students, this student Valk's physical fitness is extremely rare and strong.
"My whole body aches, especially my waist and abdomen." Valk honestly expressed his feelings.
"Of course, this is the first time I've seen a brave boy like you who can directly withstand the piercing of a lightsaber." Patrich showed a funny expression on his face.
"Remember, stay away from weapons like lightsabers in the future, and it's best to kill them from a distance."
"Then there is no way to use lightsabers in close combat?" Valk asked puzzled.
"Of course there are, and there are many ways, but they are not recommended."
"The most common way is to wear high-strength armor. However, generally speaking, armor that is two levels higher than the lightsaber can effectively resist the most powerful piercing."
"For example, some members of the firm are equipped with a brilliant gold-class lightsaber, which requires a military-grade colored crystal mecha to completely ignore its damage."
"Most people can't do this, and in reality, it is more common to rely on dodging and fighting against the same kind."
"After all, it is a person who holds a lightsaber, and a person will have flaws, his moves, his speed, his angle, and so on."
"In addition, the lightsaber is also a relatively rough weapon, which consumes a lot of energy. Even a Sequence 5 transcendent can't fight for more than a few minutes using a stream lightsaber. His magic power is consumed in this area, and other aspects are naturally weak. If you can find the flaws, or use other advantages to make up for it, you can easily defeat the opponent."
"Finally, it's a confrontation between the same kind. Since the opponent is using a lightsaber, there is no reason for us not to use it, right? As long as you play better, of course you can also completely defeat the opponent."
"These are the three most common countermeasures. The best strategy is to resist with excellent armor, the middle strategy is to rely on skills to attack his weak points, and the worst strategy is to fight against the same kind, and life and death will be decided under the lightsaber."
"I see, thank you teacher." Valk was thoughtful and seemed to have really listened.
Seeing that he was still in the mood to study, Patrich shook his head, not knowing whether to praise him or say that this guy has a good mentality.
"You should take good care of your injuries first, and there is no need to rush to study. By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch today? I'll help you order it."
"What to eat, isn't it usually told by the doctor?" Valk was a little surprised. He had been to the hospital many times before, and each time the doctor told him what to eat and what not to eat.
"That's what quacks would do. They only let patients eat fixed meals to save time and trouble."
"But in my case, I think it will be more helpful for treatment if you eat something you like and keep a good mood. As long as the food is not too extreme, I think it's OK." "
I see. Then order me a honey chicken leg meal."
"Oh, this is quite common. Honey and meat are mild, just right for replenishing the body. It seems that you are quite skilled." The doctor picked up the personal terminal and quickly ordered food, then put it aside.
"While waiting for lunch to be delivered, can you tell me what happened at that time? Although my current job is a doctor, I am also a teacher in the academy. I want to know the specific cause and process."
"This is what happened..." Valk began to recount what happened that day, and many dusty memories came to his mind.
...
Ten years ago, in the suburbs of Heishi, North District 9.
He was awakened by the sound of the cold wind, snow flakes were falling, and the sky was always gray.
After breaking free from the old blanket, Valk looked around and found himself in an abandoned garbage dump. He stood up slightly and looked at his frozen red and swollen hands, feeling a little helpless and sad.
'Abandoned again...'
This was not the first time. He had never seen what his father looked like. When he was a child, his mother took care of him for a while, but then she disliked him for being a burden and left with another man.
Then who adopted him? Probably his grandfather. The hunchbacked old man fed him simple food and finally supported him.
But his grandfather also had a hard life and could not let him eat enough every time. Hunger always accompanied his life.
He followed the old man, curled up in a small house in the suburbs. The old man usually made a living by picking up garbage. He raised him for a few years, and then his body became more and more difficult to walk due to aging, so he entrusted him to one of his nephews, who later died of old age in the house.
After the old man died, the family of the nephew, who was in his forties, could no longer tolerate this child who looked as strange as a beast. On a winter night, after feeding him sleeping pills, they threw him to the suburbs dozens of kilometers away.
Valk, who had long been aware that the family disliked him, was not surprised, but was just thinking about what to eat today.
He stood up with an old blanket on his head and walked around the suburbs to search, turning over various ruins covered with snow, looking for something useful. Later, he had more and more things on his body. Although it was a lot heavier, it was at least not so cold.
After walking aimlessly along the road for a long time, he found a red pavilion on the side of the road. The pavilion stood alone in the wilderness, with a complete network terminal and communication equipment inside.
He tried to open the pavilion, but was rejected.
[Identity monitoring failed, no resident identity chip found, please enter your federal resident code for verification...]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter] [
Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
...
After many attempts, he walked away in despair, and occasionally turned his head to look at the intact pavilion in the wilderness.
Many years later, he learned that as long as the identity verification passed, he could enter the pavilion, feel the warmth, no longer be disturbed by the cold wind, get basic starch protein emergency food, and contact the automatic cruise suspension car to go to the city where humans gather.
But these were not available to him at that time, and he could only continue to wander in the wilderness.
...
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally found a small town where humans gathered. There were an estimated fifty households in the town, with small shops and supermarkets.
He tried to get closer, but was quickly discovered by the surveillance around the town and then driven away by the self-discipline unit.
Although these T6-level autonomous units have no law enforcement power and cannot use violence against humans, they will sound a strong alarm to attract the attention of the residents in the town, which often forced him to flee.
In this way, it was not until two days later that he found the blind spot of the surveillance around the town, sneaked in at night, and found some food.
He was so happy to finally survive and eat the half-rotten food. He still remembers the experience.
He lurked in this town for two days, but was still discovered by the townspeople. Fortunately, these townspeople only drove him away and did not send him to the law enforcement agency, probably because they thought it was troublesome.
After leaving the town, he began to wander again, walking and stopping, until one day he finally fainted in the wild, his body gradually became cold, and all his thoughts slowly stopped.
