Chapter 289: Military Region Hospital
The “Guardian God” standing on the armored vehicle fell down in front of everyone at the scene, especially right after the “Guardian God” had just summoned Thunder and taken out the Plague Doctor.
No one who witnessed this scene could remain calm.
This naturally included the Death Fighters mixed in the crowd.
However, unlike the civilians worried about Lu Bai, they felt a surge of wild ambition in their hearts.
The power Lu Bai had demonstrated was indeed so strong that it filled these competitors with despair.
If Lu Bai were still conscious, they definitely wouldn’t dare to act, but now Lu Bai was clearly truly unconscious.
Any Death Fighter with even a shred of ambition planned to strike while he was down.
The appearance of the Plague Doctor had completely stalled the evacuation work in Keshishan City, and with Lu Bai suddenly collapsing, the Action Department personnel around were all worried about his situation.
At most, they were barely maintaining order at the scene and neither could nor would forcibly order these civilians to stay in place.
In this situation, these Death Fighters around could act with considerable freedom.
If a Death Fighter were standing high up overlooking at this moment, they could clearly notice that a large number of glaring titles above the crowd were gradually moving toward the armored vehicle where Lu Bai was.
Fortunately, Captain Mao had not forgotten the two grenades that someone had thrown out earlier.
Even without knowing the reason, he could be certain there were bad people in the crowd.
Based on this, he immediately carried Lu Bai into the armored vehicle and quickly issued orders for nearby Action Department personnel to rush over for support.
In less than two or three minutes since Lu Bai passed out, dozens of fully armed Action Department personnel had already arrived around the armored vehicle.
They quickly pulled up a circle of yellow tape and professionally carried out vigilance work.
The Death Fighters had deliberately kept their distance from Lu Bai before, which instead prevented them from squeezing through right when he collapsed.
“This blockade is a bit tricky.”
Looking at the quickly set up yellow tape, the Dandy had to stop and discuss a way to break the situation with his companion.
Gotta say.
Precisely because Lu Bai had preemptively read off the abilities of these Death Fighters at the scene, even if these Death Fighters wanted to take this opportunity to kill Lu Bai, they were somewhat like a clever woman unable to cook without rice.
The white-collar man with the “Swift Minion” title above his head leaned against the Dandy, his right hand unobtrusively slipping into his crotch.
He lowered his voice and said, “I still have one last grenade.”
The Dandy glanced at the Swift Minion.
He neither approved nor disapproved, instead saying, “We need to ensure our own safety first.”
Without abilities, they were essentially ordinary people.
If they exposed themselves in front of so many Action Department personnel, it would be no different from directly admitting defeat.
The Dandy looked around, casually sweeping his gaze over some people: “Some of these guys around should be impatient enough to act first.”
The girl wearing the bow hairpin nodded in approval.
Lu Bai had performed too strongly; if they didn’t take him out while he was unconscious, once he woke up, it would probably be their turn as Death Fighters to suffer.
It was with this idea in mind.
The scene did not remain silent for long; suddenly, an armored vehicle seemed to lose control and crashed toward the armored vehicle where Lu Bai was.
Civilians along the way who couldn’t dodge in time were directly run over.
In an instant, screams erupted everywhere, with limbs flying.
Seeing this, Captain Mao, who had been maintaining high vigilance, was startled and immediately grabbed the communication equipment to contact the driver of that armored vehicle.
However, there was no verbal response on the walkie-talkie channel.
Instead, the vehicle-mounted machine gun on that armored vehicle began spewing fire toward them.
Seeing this, the Dandy suddenly dropped to the ground, his smile intensifying to the point of being downright ferocious.
He shouted loudly at the Swift Minion: “Minion brother, now’s the time, move!”
……
When Lu Bai opened his eyes.
He found himself lying on a hospital bed.
Two life monitoring instruments beside the hospital bed looked expensive just at a glance.
The hospital room was clean and bright; it was more like the presidential suite of some luxury hotel than a hospital room.
Lu Bai turned his head left and right, and his action was immediately noticed by the Guardian Knight on duty beside the hospital bed.
“Master Lu, you’re awake.”
The Guardian Knight was overjoyed, as if she had just won five million in the lottery, and hurriedly notified the others.
Soon, Minister Zhang led a large group of people through the door.
Judging by the timing, these high-level Action Department officials had even been waiting in this military region hospital.
Captain Mao was mixed in among these Action Department high-level officials.
Normally, his position wouldn’t qualify him to enter here; he was purely riding on his acquaintance with Lu Bai.
At the back of the group, several doctors in white coats walked in; they turned to busily record data from the medical instruments, occasionally stealing reverent glances at Lu Bai.
“Master Lu, it’s truly great that you’re okay.”
Minister Zhang stood at the front beside the hospital bed.
He was still in his military uniform, but facing Lu Bai, he showed none of a soldier’s tough demeanor.
At his age with graying hair, he even appeared amiable to the point of being somewhat obsequious.
There was no helping it; as the highest leader of the Action Department, he had previously endured hearing about the tragic casualties every time an anomaly occurred.
Now that there was a way to deal with anomalies, he treated Lu Bai like a treasure.
“We’ve gathered the nation’s top doctors; you can rest assured and recover. Make sure to take care of your body first.”
Minister Zhang quickly explained the situation, then asked with concern, “Do you have any other needs?”
To put it bluntly, given how highly Lu Bai was valued, let alone needs in terms of companionship, even if he enjoyed killing for fun, Minister Zhang could bring truckloads of death row inmates for him to kill to his satisfaction.
“I think I’m already fine.”
Lu Bai blinked his eyes and sat up, lifting the blanket.
In fact, he felt his condition was extremely good right now.
It was as if he had slept soundly until waking naturally, feeling so comfortable that he wanted to jump up and do a set of middle school broadcast gymnastics to settle down.
In reality, unless there were clearly marked side effects, Death Fighters didn’t have to pay any unbearable price even for overusing abilities granted by the Deathmatch System.
“Please don’t rush; we must ensure no hidden issues, as the entire nation is concerned about your health.”
Minister Zhang didn’t strongly stop Lu Bai’s actions but persisted in persuading him: “If you find staying in the hospital too boring, you can make any requests, and we’ll arrange everything perfectly.”
