Chapter 464 Xiao 5 goes home 14
Situ was panting, his gaze falling back on the nutrient tank. His eyes were complex, showing helplessness, fatigue from the heavy burden, a desperate decision, and a glimmer of hope for the uncertain future.
"Let's get on with the future first!" He emphasized these five words with all his strength, in a firm and decisive manner.
"He...ahem...as long as he's alive, there's hope."
He took a few deep breaths of the dusty air, but it seemed like he had exhausted all his strength. He leaned on his son's arms for a long time before continuing with a tone that was almost self-deprecating and filled with faint hope:
"Wait... wait until your big brother and the others can actually bring back a treatment chamber... and cure the Admiral.
By then, wouldn't my old bones be able to... lend me some light and cure this damn lung disease? ... cough cough..."
This last sentence sounded like a word of comfort to his son, but also like a word of comfort to himself, full of bitterness but tenacious will.
Sirong lay motionless in the shadows, as if she had stopped breathing.
Situ Ming's painful words and hoarse and resolute confession struck her heart like a hammer.
They are not just guarding, they are even betting their own health and the future that the Situ family has worked so hard to build.
Spending everything to prolong a person's life, placing a slim hope on obtaining a treatment chamber.
Their position has been completely confirmed. They are not enemies, but allies who carry heavy burdens and move forward with sincere protection!
"We can be sure they're harmless to the Admiral." Muchen's voice echoed in Sirong's mind. "Should we show up now, or wait until tomorrow?"
Sirong's eyes were fixed on Situ Zheng's hunched and trembling body due to severe coughing. The sound of his breathing like a broken bellows was extremely harsh in her ears.
"Now!" Her thoughts were firm and there was no hesitation.
"The Admiral's condition is being maintained by a nutrient tank. I cannot make an accurate assessment at the moment, and a careful examination is needed before a plan can be determined.
But I can cure Situ Zheng's lung disease right now! Every day you delay, he'll suffer even more!"
Her reasons were simple yet full of a doctor's urgency and compassion, since she had confirmed that the patient was a friend and not an enemy.
What's the point of waiting one more day other than letting this loyal old man continue to suffer in pain?
Muchen instantly understood Sirong's decision and felt the urgency.
"Alright!" He agreed decisively. "The sooner we intervene, the sooner we resolve the issue. Although showing up now might scare them.
This is a good opportunity to demonstrate our strength, so we don't have to spend time testing, maneuvering, and practicing Tai Chi when we visit tomorrow!"
Sirong no longer waited.
She took a deep breath and removed the invisibility talisman. At the same time, Muchen also flashed out of the space.
Just as Situ Ming looked at his father warily, Situ was holding his chest and gasping in pain, without even looking up.
It appeared extremely naturally and without warning in the relatively brightly lit open area beside the bed.
"Who?!"
Situ Ming let out a low roar almost as a conditioned reflex, and his whole body instantly jumped up like a leopard whose tail was stepped on!
His muscles tensed, a sharp light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and he subconsciously took an extremely solid and explosive defensive counterattack posture!
His reaction was far beyond that of an ordinary person and his speed was astonishingly fast, fully demonstrating his survival instincts and strong physical fitness honed in this harsh environment.
He took a step forward and without hesitation put his seriously ill father behind him!
His eyes were like lightning, fixed on the strange woman who suddenly appeared! Suspicion, vigilance, and even a hint of hidden murderous intent instantly spread out!
Situ Zheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly looked up and saw that the person coming was not a ghost but a living young woman with a unique temperament. An expression of disbelief and astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, a huge anxiety and fear seized him! The first thing he thought of was not himself, but the secret behind him!
"Cough cough!!" Situ Zheng was so angry and excited that he suddenly broke free from his son's protection.
He wanted to say something, but all he could do was burst into a series of heart-wrenching coughs. He coughed so hard that his vision went black and he almost passed out.
His body was shaking violently, his finger was pointing at Sirong, and seemed to be pointing in the direction of the nutrition tank, but he couldn't say a word. Only rapid and hoarse gasps were left, and his face quickly turned gray in the dim light!
"Dad!" Situ Ming cried out anxiously. He wanted to help his father, but he didn't dare expose his back to the mysterious Si Rong. He was instantly caught in a dilemma, his eyes filled with unspeakable pain and struggle! Should he protect the secret? Or save his father first?
At this chaotic moment when the nerves of the Situ family father and son were stretched to the limit!
Sirong moved!
She didn't explain a word, and ignored Situ Ming's hostile attitude and Situ Zheng's state of fear and suffocation.
The movement was as fast as an afterimage, and the right hand was already raised!
The target is not a person, but Situ Zheng himself!
Before the father and son could react, three silver needles had already penetrated Situ Zheng's chest.
Situ Ming, who was beside him, became even more anxious when he saw this.
"What are you doing?! Let my dad go!" The huge fear and rage like a volcanic eruption instantly overwhelmed Situ Ming's sanity!
He had never seen this kind of silver needle before, yet it just pierced his father's chest like that?
Is this an assassination or something?
He didn't have time to think about anything else. He just wanted his father not to be hurt.
What's coming for him?
Why do you attack the weak first?
But before he could get close to Sirong, Muchen was already there and stopped Situ Ming.
"Second Young Master, it's us!" Mu Chen's hands were like pliers, and even a big guy like Situ Ming couldn't move at all.
"Huh?!" Situ Ming turned his head in horror and met a pair of calm and deep eyes.
It was only then that he realized there was another person in the room! When did he appear?!
Muchen knew that he was very anxious, but wasn't Situ Zheng in trouble?
"Don't make any noise, or someone outside will hear you.
We are not bad people, my wife is treating Master Situ!"
On the hospital bed, Situ Zheng, whose chest was pierced by three silver needles, twitched violently for a few times. Suddenly, a long, deep breath with a trembling sound of relief came out of his throat, as if a river that had been blocked for many years had finally been unblocked!
“Ho-ho-ho!”
It wasn't a violent cough! It was the sound of air finally flowing smoothly and abundantly into the lungs!
Then came the second bite, the third bite... like a downpour after a long drought!
The painful spasm on Situ Zheng's pale face subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Instead, there is an incredible sense of freedom that feels like a rebirth!
