Chapter 255: Wanting to Take the Child Away

~7 min read 1,354 words

Inside the Military District Medical Station.

After checking that there were no abnormalities with the pregnant women in each ward, the on-duty medic came to the main hall of the Medical Station and sat down in the duty room to make records.

"Grandmother, you rest first; I will help you keep watch for a while."

Hearing Vulkan say this, Mother Ying rubbed her eyes, which were feeling a bit sleepy, and said in a soft voice.

"Then I will trouble you; I am indeed a bit tired."

Afterwards, Mother Ying lay down on a simple folding bed to the side, and before long, light snoring could be heard.

Vulkan came to the baby crib of his little sister, and looking at the sleeping appearance of the young life inside, a trace of doting could not help but rise in Vulkan's heart.

At the same time, outside the Medical Station, five Catachan Jungle Fighters were hiding in the shadows, observing every soldier passing by.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to distinguish the enemy?"

A muscular Catachan man gripped the handle of his Catachan Combat Knife with his right hand and muttered in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter; as long as any Heretic dares to threaten that ward, they are the damn enemy!"

The Catachan Sergeant wearing a hat replied.

"Boss, are those two female soldiers the ones?"

The Catachan Sergeant saw two female medics arrive at Huang Xi's ward and knock on the ward door.

"Probably not; Lord Vulkan is inside, so there won't be any problems."

Soon, the door opened, and the person who opened it was a 1.9-meter-tall, grey-skinned, red-eyed muscular man.

"We are here to check the baby's physical condition, confirm that she is a Human child, and register her."

Hearing the two female medics say this, Vulkan let the two enter the ward. Soon, the two female medics walked out of the ward holding the sleeping child, while Vulkan followed closely behind them the entire time.

This behavior of Vulkan's made the two female medics feel a trace of discomfort, and one of the female medics said to Vulkan.

"You go back first; after we finish the examination for this child, we will send her back to the ward."

Vulkan looked at the female medic with his red pupils and said in a serious voice.

"No, I cannot let my little sister leave my sight, not even for a moment. This is my promise to Mother; I must protect her."

Vulkan's words made the two female medics pause. After the two exchanged a brief look, they agreed to Vulkan's request.

The two led Vulkan into a corridor, and one female medic took a short knife from her bosom and quickly turned to stab at Vulkan's abdomen.

But this female medic only felt a gust of wind strike her, followed by a sharp pain in her abdomen, and her whole body flew out, slamming heavily into the wall of the Medical Station, causing ripples on the Spirit Pattern on the wall.

Seeing this, the female medic holding the child had not yet had time to react before her neck was fiercely gripped by a large hand, and the sleeping child in her arms was also steadily transferred into the arms of the muscular man before her, without being woken up.

Vulkan's voice was very low, but the aura he exuded was chilling.

"You are not from the Medical Station?"

The female medic, who was being held up by her neck by Vulkan, looked at the grey-skinned muscular man before her in disbelief and said in a stuttering voice.

"How... how is this... possible? How... how could you... have such powerful strength?"

The huge noise here alarmed the female medic who was making records in the duty room. She had just walked out of the duty room when she saw four bare-chested, muscular men with knotted muscles and red headbands, along with a female warrior wearing a vest with bulging pectoral muscles and a red headband, rushing toward the location where the sound came from.

Sensing that something was wrong, the female medic immediately notified the soldiers who were patrolling and on duty within the Medical Station.

Within the silent Medical Station, dozens of soldiers carrying weapons and equipment soon entered.

By the time everyone arrived at the location where the sound came from, they only saw a grey-skinned muscular man pinching a female medic's neck with one hand and holding the still-sleeping child with the other.

"Lord Vulkan, who are these two?"

Seeing Vulkan's current appearance, the Catachan Sergeant wearing a hat felt a shiver for no reason. With a wave of his hand, several Catachan Warriors took control of the female medic whose neck was being pinched by Vulkan and the female medic who had already fainted on the other side of the wall.

Only then did Vulkan check on his little sister sleeping in his arms. Seeing that his little sister had not been woken up by the noise just now, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and only then did he answer the Catachan Sergeant's question.

"They wanted to take my little sister away, and when I followed behind, they even wanted to attack me."

A burst of hurried footsteps came, and the soldiers of the Medical Station arrived to take over the two female medics controlled by the Catachan Warriors; a 3-meter-tall figure also appeared behind everyone.

"Ah!!!"

"Ugh! Ah!!!"

The two female medics suddenly screamed in pain, and then streaks of black flames burned across their bodies. In just a few seconds, the screams disappeared, vanishing along with their bodies.

After Yingzhou finished handling matters in the Military District, he came to the Medical Station. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Medical Station, he saw the duty troops inside running toward the interior of the station, and his heart tightened suddenly.

Just as he turned the corner, he encountered the same state of death as the men in black who had previously monitored his home.

"Is it them? Is this the Demon that Ji Bu said was hidden in the Ninth Defense Zone before he died?"

Yingzhou ordered the duty soldiers of the Medical Station to return to their respective posts and had Vulkan take the child back to the ward.

Due to the painful screams of the two female medics just now, the child who was still sleeping in Vulkan's arms was woken up. Vulkan had no experience in coaxing children, so he could only walk quickly back to the ward and hand the task of soothing the child to Mother Ying, who had just been startled awake and was looking for the child and Vulkan.

Yingzhou brought the female medic on duty at the Medical Station tonight to question her. Looking at her appearance as if she had seen a ghost, he asked.

"Do you recognize the two soldiers who just died?"

Hearing Yingzhou's question, the female medic was stunned for a second before quickly replying.

"Yes, Chief. They did not come to the Medical Station at the same time, and they rarely had any interaction. I also don't know why they would become like this."

Watching the words and actions of the female medic before him, Yingzhou was silent for a moment before saying.

"If there are no problems with the pregnant woman Huang Xi and her child, then prepare for registration. After the registration is finished, I will immediately arrange for people to leave the Medical Station."

When he originally summoned Vulcan Vulkan, it was because he was afraid of things like registration. If others thought he had just picked up a stray child, then no one would pay too much attention.

Previously, in the Outer City, the Zerg had used a pregnant woman to carry out a massacre in a residential area, so that ever since then, all pregnant women must give birth in designated Medical Stations, and the infants born must also be registered after examination before they can be taken home.

"Understood, Chief. I will handle it now."
