Chapter 65: Hospital

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

“Wait, has Yu Shan retreated yet?”

‘When Lin Feng saw that people were coming and going in the base and many people were boarding the spaceships, he suddenly remembered Yu Shan.

“Yu Shan? Brother Feng, if you’re talking about the Yu Shan who’s third on the merit rankings, he should have retreated already. The casualties in the hospital were the first to be evacuated. We already belong to the second batch.”

Lin Feng nodded and said, “That’s good. I’ll visit him in the hospital after we retreat to Dragonlith City.”

Preparations for relocation were going on everywhere in Dragon Mountain Base. Many people were still somewhat reluctant to part with it, but this was an order, and no one dared to disobey it. Some of these martial artists were adventurers, some were here for their own martial goals, and some were

even simple businessmen who just wanted to kill dire beasts to earn money to support their families.

However, faced with the threat of dire beasts, they had no choice but to retreat now.

In reality, humans were still at an advantage over the dire beasts overall. It was very rare for frontline bases to retreat to cities at the homefront like this.

Ina short period of three hours, everyone in the base had boarded the spaceships. Only some research institutes and inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock were left.

The researchers of the research institute were organizing information and equipment. These were all very precious and absolutely must not be left behind. Since it was a retreat, everyone had to leave. A spaceship was even specially prepared for boarding by researchers of the research institute.

Chief Commander Long Duo also came to the research institute. He found Professor Wei Yuan still busy in front of the computer, seemingly analyzing a set of complex data.

“Professor Wei, it’s time to leave.” Long Duo said softly. It had taken him a lot of effort to invite Professor Wei Yuan from the Central Academy of Sciences. Over the years, he had provided a lot of help to Dragon Mountain Base.

Professor Wei Yuan was already very exhausted. Even his eyes were bloodshot, but his gaze was full of vigor. When he saw that Long Duo had come personally, he heaved a long sigh and said, “Just a bit longer. Give me 5 more—no, 3 more days, and I will definitely be able to research the new dire beast

thoroughly.”

Long Duo gave a forced smile and said, “Professor Wei, I know you’ll definitely be able to succeed in your research, but there’s no time now. We have to retreat immediately. Once we arrive in Dragonlith City, you can research it however you want, but not now.”

Long Duo was the only one who could persuade Professor Wei Yuan. Therefore, when he heard that Professor Wei Yuan was unwilling to leave the research institute, he personally came to persuade Professor Wei into leaving.

Wei Yuan still seemed a little reluctant. He frowned and said, “I’ve already made some progress in my research. This kind of new dire beast isn’t that simple… Alas, unfortunately, there’s no time to analyze the experimental data now. All right, I’l leave the base first. I’l do my best to study it after I return

to Dragonlith City.”

In the end, Professor Wei Yuan reluctantly gathered the experimental data and led the members of the research institute onto the spaceship.

Long Duo also got on the spaceship. He took a long look at the Dragon Mountain Base below, his eyes filled with unwillingness to part with it. Although he was an extremely powerful inhuman expert, it still took a lot of effort for him to oversee a base.

Once this retreat took place, the results of all previous efforts would be destroyed. It would be hard to say if he would ever be able to take charge over a main region again in the future. However, he had no choice but to make this difficult decision. If Dragon Mountain Base suffered too heavy a loss, he

would only be held more accountable.

The spaceships quickly started and carried the members of the Dragon Mountain Base towards Dragonlith City.

The retreat of Dragon Mountain Base shocked Dragonlith City. However, the government had already stated the reason. It was not due to Dragon Mountain Base being unable to withstand the assails of the dire beasts, but merely a “strategic” retreat.

As for what exactly was going on with this “strategic’ retreat, some experts from the government would naturally explain it. However, only the upper echelons of the Dragon Mountain Base knew the true reason.

Even the martial artists from Dragon Mountain Base did not have a clear idea. They had participated in the decisive battle at the frontline, but it seemed like they were actually victorious, and had not lost. Why should they retreat if they had won?

Thus, during this period of time, there were a lot of discourse in Dragonlith City. They were all about the reason behind the retreat of Dragon Mountain Base. There were all kinds of opinions, but no rumors. This was because the government had already taken all sorts of measures. All those who spread

rumors were arrested and awaiting trial.

In this aspect, the government was very efficient.

A few hours later, dozens of airships landed in Dragonlith City. Many martial artists finally retuned to the human city after a long parting. When fighting with dire beasts at the frontline, all of them were mentally strained. Now that they had finally retreated, they could also relax properly.

Lin Feng and Feng Xiu also alighted from the spaceship, and were arranged to stay in the temporary residence of the Myriad Academy. Feng Xiu said excitedly, “Brother Feng, we’ve finally returned to the homefront after everything, This place is much better than the frontline. Wanna go out and have

some fun? I have a few friends here in Dragonlith City…”

Lin Feng did not take in the rest of what Feng Xiu was saying. He shook his head and said, “You go and have fun. I’m going back to my residence first.”

With that, Lin Feng left alone. Feng Xiu gritted his teeth. He knew that Lin Feng was “hardworking”, but he did not have that kind of persistence.

He had been on edge for the past few months at the frontline. Now that he was back in the bustling city, how could he pass on the opportunity to have fun?

Hence, Feng Xiu left his temporary residence at once, and went to his friends to go out for some fun.

Lin Feng was indeed very hardworking, but this was because he had no choice. He did not have much time left. He had to break the genetic lock and restructure his genes as soon as possible.

Moreover, he had already sensed the genetic lock of 3 types of dire beasts. Now, there was only the last type of dire beast genes left. He must sense the genetic lock soon.

However, it was a little difficult to sense the genetic lock of the last dire beast, which was the fleshworm dire beast that Lin Feng had fused. Lin Feng tried the previous few methods of sensing it, but they were all somewhat unsuccessful.

This was because he knew far too little about the fleshworm dire beast. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that he knew nothing about it, aside from the fact that these dire beasts had very strong regenerative abilities.

As for the rest, Lin Feng did not know much.

After staying in the room for three consecutive days, Lin Feng still could not sense the genetic lock on the fleshworm dire beast. He could not help but feel a trace of anxiety, and was somewhat frustrated as a result.

In sucha state, it was even harder to sense the genetic lock.

After some thought, Lin Feng decided to leave his residence to visit Dragonlith City. He had yet to visit Yu Shan. In his eyes, Yu Shan was one of the few good friends who was together in life and death with him. A friendship that had undergone trials of mortality as theirs was impossible to forget.

Soon, Lin Feng arrived at the hospital. He had inquired about it. All the casualties in the Dragon Mountain Base were sent to the hospital in Dragonlith City. Moreover, Lin Feng had indeed seen many injured martial artists in the hospital.

These injured martial artists were basically all injured in the decisive battle at the frontline. Most of their injuries were not very serious and were only minor injuries, so their faces were all brimming with a slight smile.

However, when Lin Feng asked about Yu Shan’s condition, he was informed that Yu Shan had been discharged from the hospital and left Dragonlith City three days ago.

“Wasn’t Yu Shan amputated? Why would he be discharged?”

“This patient was recovering relatively well. The patient also had a strong desire to be discharged. Naturally, we discharged him by procedure.”

“Doctor, do you know where he’s gone, then?”

“think he went home to recuperate.”

This was all the information Lin Feng got. On careful thought, Yu Shan was once a proud martial artist. Now that he had suddenly lost his legs, it was certain that he didn’t want to face other familiar martial artists anymore, and only natural that he wanted to be discharged.

However, being discharged from the hospital was not a bad thing, He could rest at home and spend the rest of his life in peace. In the future, if Lin Feng succeeded in breaking the genetic lock and was no longer plagued by his strange illness, he would still have the chance to visit Yu Shan at his home.

Just as Lin Feng was about to turn and leave the hospital, he suddenly heard a shrill cry of pain. Then, chaos erupted on the second floor of the hospital. Something seemed to have happened.
