Chapter 240

"Mmm!"

No one could like that scene.

In the following days, wounded members of the Seventh Squad gradually returned, accompanied by some nurses and several doctors.

The hospital lacked space, so patients whose injuries were stabilized and improving were transferred out first.

Each time a member returned, the Seventh Squad welcomed them warmly and happily.

But their way of welcoming had a mischievous streak.

Su Yang saw two members of the emergency squad hopping and skipping in front of a comrade in a wheelchair…

The man in the wheelchair nearly stood up and fought them.

The medical staff also brought a Bai Yin-level Qingyu sheep, its entire body covered in bluish-green hair.

This Qingyu sheep had no horns—it was a ewe.

Its healing technique could accelerate wound healing.

Such beast, skilled in healing and recovery, was extremely rare in the wild.

Though adept at healing, they lacked offensive power and struggled terribly to survive in the wild.

Major cities within the Huaxia Federation had long been deliberately breeding Qingyu sheep, hoping to expand their population—the results were quite good.

Seven days later, Xu Jiutian's injuries had healed almost completely.

By evening, he and several other emergency squad members linked arms, apparently discussing something.

"Su Yang, want to go out for some fun?"

In recent days, the emergency squad's management had been extremely lax.

They could go out at night, but absolutely must not cause trouble.

"What kind of fun?"

"You tell me."

"You guys go!"

Emmm… Su Yang realized the ones escorting them were still soldiers from Jiacheng.

On the eighth morning, Xu Jiutian and the others returned.

Xu Jiutian brought a chair and placed it by the door, sitting down on it, his eyes still weary.

"Drained?"

Su Yang asked with a smile.

"Impossible!" Xu Jiutian waved his hand and yawned. "Just a bit tired—but it was relaxing!"

"Still drained, then?"

"I'll tell you, when we left, they refused to take money, said it was free… but am I, Xu Jiutian, someone who lacks money?!" Xu Jiutian said proudly. "I secretly slipped the cash under their pillows!"

Su Yang noticed Xu Jiutian's military uniform.

He was probably recognized—the Emergency Corps uniform was very distinctive, with the two Huaxia characters "Emergency" on the back.

Last time Su Yang went out to buy a baked pancake for a taste, the old woman selling it flatly refused to take his money.

"Big Brother Xu, tell us about your family!"

"No family!"

Su Yang gave Xu Jiutian a strange look: "No wife?"

Xu Jiutian was quite old, wasn't he?

"Don't need a wife—living alone is free and easy!" Xu Jiutian said with a touch of melancholy. "No ties, no burdens—it's better. Even if I die, no one will grieve…"

"Once, a brother of mine died in battle—his wife fainted right there, clutching his corpse. From then on, I decided living alone was better."

"Understood!"
