Chapter 483

After Hao Ren was settled, and Su Yang—the highest-ranking—was assigned to the luxury room, Liu Mengyun stepped into Su Yang's room, waved her hand, and signaled for the landlady to leave.

The landlady nodded as if understanding, and whispered: "In the bottom drawer on the left side of the bed!"

Then she quietly closed the door and tiptoed downstairs.

Su Yang sat on the sofa, let out a long breath, and only then noticed Liu Mengyun.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Mengyun whispered: "The Ice Moon Sprite has been upgraded to Platinum High-Grade!"

During the daytime battle, Liu Mengyun fought fiercely and killed many ferocious beasts!

Although they were all low-level ferocious beasts, their sheer numbers pushed the Ice Moon Sprite's experience points high enough to reach Platinum High-Grade.

"That's good news!"

"Major, can you tell me how you did it?"

"Can I say it's because your Ice Moon Sprite has extraordinary talent, and I merely activated it?"

Liu Mengyun stared at Su Yang, her face plainly reading "I don't believe you."

"Then ask the Ice Moon Sprite!"

"It won't tell you—can you tell me?"

"No!"

After being refused by Su Yang, Liu Mengyun's expression showed not the slightest change.

Or rather, she had already guessed Su Yang would likely refuse.

Su Yang changed the subject: "Were there any hospitalizations today?"

"We've tallied it: thirteen members with minor injuries, three with severe injuries—nearly incapacitated, now lying in the hospital; one dead, a body retrieved; two missing, likely killed in action!"

"That's a heavy loss."

"Not heavy—it's already minimal!" Liu Mengyun shook her head. "They were careless. Our Fourteenth Emergency Squad is famously the one with the lowest fatality rate."

Su Yang sat up and headed straight for the door: "Call Captain Hao, let's go to the hospital!"

"Alright!"

As Liu Mengyun was about to follow Su Yang out, she suddenly remembered the landlady's words and instinctively pulled open the bottom drawer on the left side of the bed… Seeing what was inside, her pale face flushed red.

Although Liu Mengyun had no experience, she understood the essentials.

"What are you looking for?"

Su Yang's voice came from behind her.

Then she heard Su Yang's footsteps drawing closer.

Damn!

Liu Mengyun acted instantly, pulled the box out of the drawer, and shoved it into her pant pocket.

"Nothing!"

"Then why did you pull open the drawer?"

"I just looked—there was nothing there!"

"Then let's go."

"Yes, Major!"

The hospital was the last place Su Yang wanted to go.

Yangcheng's hospital was now overflowing.

The open space in front of the hospital and every corridor inside were packed with injured soldiers and civilians.

Over a dozen ordinary soldiers patrolled the perimeter, carrying energy crystal rifles.

Everywhere were the moans of the wounded, pleas from families, and the frantic movements of medical staff.

A young man grabbed a middle-aged doctor with glasses: "Doctor, my father is dying—please, prioritize his surgery!"

On the floor at the young man's feet lay an old man.

Blood seeped from the old man's abdomen, foam frothed from his mouth, his chest heaved violently—he looked like he was about to die!

The doctor was drenched in sweat; he gripped the young man's hand and whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are many critical patients upstairs needing treatment!"

"Doctor, please—I'll kneel for you!"

The young man dropped to his knees.

"Kid, I'm sorry, I'm sorry—I have to go upstairs!"

"But my father will die—can't they wait a little?"

"I'm sorry!"

The old doctor forcibly pried the young man's hand loose and ran upstairs.

At that moment, the young man pulled a dagger from his pocket and charged at the doctor!

A gunshot rang out—"Bang!"

The young man's chest was pierced clean through!

The entire first-floor hall, previously noisy, fell silent—only the moans of the wounded remained.

A lieutenant, holding an energy crystal rifle, exhaled softly and signaled two soldiers to drag the body away.

"Doctor, go upstairs."

The lieutenant ran over and spoke to the stunned doctor.

"He didn't mean to hurt you…"

"I must ensure your safety. If you object, you can file a complaint later—but right now, please go upstairs."

"Ah…" The old doctor sighed heavily. "I understand—he was too impulsive."

The old doctor turned around, leapt up the stairs in a few strides, and rushed to the second floor.
