Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 920: Xiang Yu Injured and Admitted to the Hospital
Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Xiang Yu Injured and Admitted to the Hospital
Xiao Xuan stood there, staring at the wounds on Xiang Yu’s body, his eyes reddened. He wished all those injuries had been inflicted on him instead.
Xiang Yu patted Xiao Xuan’s shoulder with a smile and said, "I’m fine, don’t feel bad."
"Bro, I swear I’ll tear Lin Chong limb from limb," Xiao Xuan declared with unwavering determination in his eyes.
"That’s unnecessary," Xiang Yu replied with a faint smile before motioning everyone to head back. Honestly, they didn’t have much of a grudge against Lin Chong.
It was only because Lin Chong refused to let go of Zhang Dongxu that Xiang Yu was enraged.
Zhang Dongxu followed behind, deeply embarrassed. Throughout the ordeal, he had contributed little and even ruined a golden opportunity for Xiang Yu.
"Brother Yu, am I completely useless?" Zhang Dongxu asked softly from behind Xiang Yu.
"It’s not your fault," Xiang Yu responded with a lighthearted smile, worried that Zhang Dongxu would carry the burden in his heart.
Xiang Yu stopped for a moment, seemingly deliberating, before looking at Zhang Dongxu and saying, "I have a task for you. Stay here."
Zhang Dongxu froze, unsure of what Xiang Yu meant by asking him to stay behind.
Noticing his confused expression, Xiang Yu clarified, "Now that Lin Chong has left, he definitely won’t let this go. This is his old base; he’s bound to return. You stay here to prevent him from regaining footing."
Zhang Dongxu responded with a bitter smile, "You want me to wait here for Lin Chong?"
Though Lin Chong had failed today, he still had many loyal men by his side. Asking Zhang Dongxu to stay was almost like leaving him to die.
"If you’re too scared, just say so," Xiao Xuan retorted, an icy glare in his eyes that carried a murderous edge.
After some thought, as if making a monumental decision, Zhang Dongxu finally nodded. "I understand, Brother Yu. Leave it to me."
"I’ll have a certain little nurse delivered to you personally," Xiang Yu said with a mysterious smile.
Zhang Dongxu awkwardly nodded. Truth be told, the thought of staying there alone did make him worry about the little nurse.
"Additionally," Xiang Yu added, glancing at Wu Jing, "you lead the brothers from the Tianlong Squad and stay here as well."
"No way!" Wu Jing protested vehemently, worried that Xiang Yu might make this choice. He stared resolutely at Xiang Yu, saying, "Right now, there’s no one in City No. 2 except Wang Ze. If the squad members come here, City No. 2 will be left completely defenseless."
Xiao Xuan also shot Xiang Yu a perplexed look, clearly not agreeing with the decision. While the world had calmed down somewhat, it was far from stable. If others learned that Xiang Yu’s base of operations was now unguarded, they would surely exploit the opening.
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine," Xiang Yu reassured them, firmly standing by his decision as he turned and walked away.
Wu Jing knew that once Xiang Yu made up his mind, it was almost impossible to change it.
Zhang Dongxu looked awkwardly at Wu Jing and asked, "What should we do?"
"What else? Clean this place up first," Wu Jing replied tersely.
The surroundings resembled a living hell, with scenes so harrowing that they were difficult to stomach. Many of the squad members were still injured and in need of care.
In situations like this, Wu Jing was considered a seasoned expert and managed the cleanup efficiently and methodically.
Xiang Yu walked over to the car, opened the door, and got inside. As he sat down, he nearly stumbled and fell, an unsteady movement that only Xiao Xuan noticed. The others were oblivious.
"Bro, hold on. We’ll be at the hospital soon," Xiao Xuan said as he started the car and drove directly toward City No. 2.
He didn’t trust any other hospital. On the way, he called Liu Yuhang to have everything ready.
When Liu Yuhang received Xiao Xuan’s call, he immediately knew—Xiang Yu must be injured again.
He had grown numb to it. In the past, he would worry, but now he barely reacted.
Because Xiang Yu was injured often, and always gravely, yet somehow he always pulled through.
In Liu Yuhang’s mind, Xiang Yu was the undying War God; no matter what, he would never succumb.
By the time Xiao Xuan arrived at the hospital in City No. 2, it was already evening. Supporting Xiang Yu, he escorted him straight to his private ward.
Liu Yuhang was already there waiting. Seeing Xiang Yu return, he quickly urged him to lie down.
Xiang Yu seemed utterly exhausted. While he had persisted earlier, as though some force compelled him to keep going, now that he let his guard down, his body was on the verge of collapse.
Liu Yuhang used scissors to cut open Xiang Yu’s clothes, uncovering wounds where the blood had already clotted. While Xiang Yu had been injured before, it had never been so severe and straightforward.
"Will Brother be alright?" Xiao Xuan asked anxiously from the side.
"They’re just flesh wounds," Liu Yuhang answered, his hands trembling slightly. Although the injuries weren’t fatal, the sheer number of wounds was extraordinary.
He couldn’t fathom how Xiang Yu had endured it. An ordinary person would likely have passed out from the pain.
Although his body ached, Xiang Yu’s mind stayed sharp. He was growing increasingly puzzled by his own body.
He didn’t understand where his strength came from in the moment and why now he felt utterly drained.
"Yuhang, you’re a medical professional. Have you ever heard of anything that could unlock human potential?" Xiang Yu asked quietly as he lay there.
Liu Yuhang hesitated for a moment before saying, "In medical theory, the human body has various acupoints. Some are known as ’death points’ which can also serve as ’life points.’ When properly stimulated, they can unlock a person’s potential."
Liu Yuhang wasn’t sure why Xiang Yu was asking, so he answered casually.
"Death points? Like the ones written about in martial arts novels?" Xiang Yu asked with curiosity, looking at Liu Yuhang.
Liu Yuhang shook his head and replied, "Those novels exaggerate too much, but acupoints do exist. I just haven’t studied that skill."
In fact, Liu Yuhang had only heard about it. His medical knowledge was entirely inherited from his father, passed down through generations.
And techniques related to acupoint healing were likely lost to time.
Xiang Yu nodded in acknowledgment. There were still many unexplainable things in the world.
Like the medicine that Liu Yuhang brewed himself. It had miraculous effects; for external injuries, applying it would speed up recovery dramatically without leaving scars.
Even with today’s advanced technology, such results remained beyond reach.
This hospital was funded by Sun Bo, with Liu Yuhang serving as its director. Getting treatment from the director himself was a privilege only Xiang Yu enjoyed.
As Xiao Xuan waited anxiously nearby, seeing Xiang Yu’s wounds begin to heal slowly put his mind at ease.
Just then, his phone rang. It was Tie Zhuzi calling.
"What’s up with you guys? Off chasing girls without inviting me?" Tie Zhuzi joked as he opened the call.
Initially, Xiang Yu had noticed that Tie Zhuzi and Gao Zhitao got along well, so he had left Tie Zhuzi to keep Gao Zhitao company.
Over time, Tie Zhuzi had essentially become Gao Zhitao’s servant. Every time Gao Zhitao needed to go to the bathroom, Tie Zhuzi would have to help him.
"Brother’s injured," Xiao Xuan said bluntly.
As soon as Xiao Xuan spoke, Tie Zhuzi hung up the phone. At that moment, Tie Zhuzi had been idly chatting with Gao Zhitao out of boredom.
After hanging up, Tie Zhuzi immediately stood up and dashed out, prompting Gao Zhitao to shout from behind, "Where are you running off to? Can’t hold it in anymore?"
