Chapter 40 Hospitalization
"Boom boom boom!"

"Knock knock knock! Old Xu?"

"Old Xu!"

Early in the morning.

Huang Sen stood in front of Xu Feng's house, holding a bowl of soup, and knocked on the door forcefully.

The knocking even startled the disheveled, chubby Wang Long.

Wang Long, still half-asleep, asked, "Brother Huang, what's going on so early in the morning?"

"That's strange. Why is Old Xu up so early? He's not here at all. It's still a long time before Xiao Dan goes to school."

Huang Sen said with a puzzled expression.

Wang Long said speechlessly, "He's probably crawled into some woman's bed."

"Come on, I've never seen anyone bring their child into bed with them." Huang Sen rolled his eyes.

At this point, he turned to look at Wang Long and handed him the meat soup in his hand: "Here, it was originally for Xiao Dan, but I'm giving it to you."

Wang Long immediately thanked him and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. There's a huge commotion outside, just go to sleep."

Huang Sen said irritably.

"What's going on? What do you mean by 'the world is turned upside down'? I was working on a new drug last night, I was in the basement the whole time, what happened outside?"

Wang Long scratched his head and asked in surprise.

Huang Sen frowned and said, "I heard from a friend that a lot of people died last night. Some experts were killing people indiscriminately in the shantytown, but I don't know why."

Little Fatty was immediately shocked, his body trembling with fear: "What?! A bunch of people are dead? Experts are killing people indiscriminately? Holy crap, can we even stay in this godforsaken place?"

Huang Sen frowned and said with disdain, "Can you please tidy yourself up a bit? I mean, do researchers have to be so Einsteinish?"

Although some skilled fighters were wreaking havoc, the base also produced skilled fighters who suppressed them.

She's said to be a beautiful and skilled fighter; many people saw her, so there's no need to worry too much.

"A beautiful woman?" Upon hearing "beautiful woman," Little Fatty's eyes lit up instantly. "There really are beautiful female experts? I thought those experts were all big and burly."

"Damn, I need to wash my hair right away. If a beautiful girl takes a liking to me, my life will be settled."

Huang Sen: "Huh?"

"Chirp chirp~~"

"Gugu~Gugu~"

"Cough cough."

Xu Feng coughed lightly and woke up from his sleep.

The pristine white ceiling that met his eyes plunged him into a prolonged daze.

A faint smell of disinfectant permeated the air.

The surrounding area was pure white.

Outside the window, lush green plants and cheerful birdsong.

In an instant, it felt as if he had returned to his past life.

'This is a hospital! Right, I'm in the base hospital now!'

Xu Feng suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously reached for his hand.

However, they found nothing.

Neither the throwing knives nor the battle swords were there.

He immediately panicked.

"Nurse! Nurse!"

As Xu Feng shouted in a somewhat panicked manner, the other two patients in the ward immediately stood up in surprise and looked at him.

"Hey! Bro, stop yelling. There's a call button by the bed. This is a hospital, not your home!"

On the next hospital bed, a one-armed man frowned and scolded.

Xu Feng then looked at the other person apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."

He then pressed the call button.

Soon, a petite nurse in white rushed in: "Mr. Xu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Feng waved his hand and quickly said with a smile, "No, I'm not feeling unwell. I just wanted to ask where my personal belongings are?"

"Personal belongings? You didn't have any belongings when you came in," the nurse said quickly after a moment of surprise.

"Impossible! Where are my throwing knives and battle sword? I always carry them with me!"

Xu Feng's expression changed slightly.

"Pfft—" The one-armed man and another patient next to him immediately burst out laughing. "Haha, brother, you don't think you're still in the wild, do you?"
This is a base hospital; you'd be a fool to bring weapons in here.

"Huh? Is that so?" Xu Feng was immediately taken aback.

"Please rest assured, sir. Any personal belongings you have will be stored in the hospital's storage room and you can retrieve them when you are discharged."

The nurse chuckled softly and said gently.

"Also, your friend Ms. Lu asked me to tell you that you should rest assured and focus on your recovery. Your daughter is with her."

Hearing Lu Fei's name, Xu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This woman is quite reliable.

Then it should be fine.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you, thank you."

Xu Feng quickly put his hands together to express his gratitude.

After the nurse left, the one-armed man in the ward looked at Xu Feng curiously and asked, "Brother, are you from the shantytown?"

Xu Feng smiled sheepishly: "Yes, it's my first time in a hospital, I don't know the rules."

The man immediately raised an eyebrow and then said in surprise, "Brother, you must have a connection."

Normally, the thugs from the shantytown would go to the Second Hospital for treatment.

Those who can get into the First Affiliated Hospital are all genuine martial artists like us.

Hearing the slight surprise and arrogance in the other person's tone, Xu Feng shook his head slightly.

Even hospitals have different levels of admission.

Besides, what's there to be proud of?
"I was lucky to meet a friend, which is how I got in."

Xu Feng subtly changed the subject and asked.

"What happened to your arm, bro?"

"Damn it, don't even mention it. Our exploration team was attacked by alien races in the Wumeng Mountains."

Old Zhao and I were alright, we only lost arms. The others, they lost their heads.

When the one-armed man talked about this, he immediately became dejected.

Xu Feng then noticed that another patient was missing a leg.

However, judging from his expression, he seemed quite relaxed.

"Brother, you seem to have a great attitude," Xu Feng said, looking at Lao Zhao.

"Haha, you escaped with your life, isn't that lucky?" Old Zhao's words impressed Xu Feng greatly.

There are very few people who have this mindset.

The one-armed man sighed and shook his head, saying, "Old Zhao has always had a good attitude, but I can't."

My whole family depends on me to support them. If I lose an arm, my fighting ability will collapse.

From now on, the exploration team won't be able to stay; they'll only be able to do odd jobs in the base patrol team.

"The patrol team is not bad either. They earn at least 50,000 a month, which should be enough to cover the family's food expenses."

Old Zhao, on the contrary, comforted the one-armed man.

"Forget about that, I haven't asked your name yet, brother. My name is Wang Qiang, a mid-level warrior," the one-armed man said with a smile.

"Oh, my name is Xu Feng, I'm just a quasi-martial artist," Xu Feng quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, a flash of disdain crossed Wang Qiang's eyes.

Zhao Wuji chuckled, picked up a banana from the bedside table, and tossed it to Xu Feng.

"My name is Zhao Wuji, you can just call me Lao Zhao."

It's fate that we're sharing a hospital room; maybe we can even become friends. I'm a mid-level warrior too.

Xu Feng caught it immediately: "Thanks."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang curled his lip and shook his head slightly.

Be friends?
He glanced at the information sheet on Xu Feng's bedside table.

What's so great about associating with a forty-year-old aspiring martial artist?
However, Xu Feng was unaware of this.

He simply had a sudden thought and took the opportunity to ask the two about the daily work and life of the formal martial artists at the base.

The two of them were clearly bored.

The three of them then chatted and talked about life at the base.

Hsu Feng is an e-person by nature.

Therefore, in less than an hour, he became friends with the two of them.

I also learned a lot of things that I wouldn't normally be qualified to know.

However, he could sense that although the two didn't say it, they had a slight disdain for the residents of the shantytown.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, most of the people living in the shantytowns were servants.

Just as the three were having a lively conversation.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a sudden knock on the ward door.

soon.

A figure in a trench coat strode in, accompanied by a young man in a white robe.

"Director Liu."

"Hello, Director Liu."

Zhao Wuji and Wang Qiang quickly greeted the young man in white with smiles.

He then looked on in astonishment as the two walked up to Xu Feng.

The young man in white nodded slightly and followed Lu Fei to Xu Feng, smiling gently as he said:
"Mr. Xu, I have seen your problem. It's nothing serious. Just go back and get plenty of rest."

For your age, your body is in very good condition.

Don't worry, Junior Sister Lu, I've had all the medicine you need packed up.

If you have any further questions, just contact me directly.

It was surprising to see that the renowned Director Liu of the First Affiliated Hospital was so polite to Xu Feng.

Wang Qiang and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances, while simultaneously giving Xu Feng a second, discreet look.
