Xiao Sang's Aspiration

Li Yao walked into the Phoenix Legion's temporary General Headquarters. The small room, built with corrugated steel tiles, was already filled with many people.

Upon seeing Li Yao enter,

The disabled soldiers still managed to stand up and salute Li Yao. Li Yao noticed that many of the soldiers had lost their hands or even arms, and the grotesque, closed scars were a shocking sight.

Li Yao approached these people and thought for a moment before saying, "I know you are all excellent. Replacing your limbs is also a way of seeking progress, but you have to take things one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time."

Biological Prosthetics can certainly compensate for the physical defects of warriors, and can even enhance their combat capabilities.

But Biological Prosthetics are not their own bodies after all.

It was created by the Queen Mother.

They have a uniform design, and apart from their somewhat unique form, they are otherwise similar to the equipment that soldiers usually use.

After the Biological Prosthetics is attached, it will be adjusted in sync with the soldier's body for a period of time, such as fine adjustments to its length and thickness.

This process is somewhat painful.

Soldiers who have lost limbs have no choice but to have them replaced.

"Severing a normal part of the body to attach a special Biological Prosthetics will put a strain on the body!" The soldiers listened quietly as Li Yao spoke, and many ambitious soldiers seemed convinced. After all, he was the expert in this field, and soldiers in the army often respected knowledgeable technicians like Li Yao.

Just then,

A soldier stepped out from the crowd.

The soldier was very tall, Li Yao noticed at a glance that the soldier had two prosthetic limbs. The soldier said, "Hello, sir! My name is Lei Xinzhuang. Actually, we have no choice but to make these requests. For example, I am missing my left leg, so the two sides are different! It would be very easy to cause a disaster if the replacement is completed."

Lei Xinzhuang was quite humorous, which made the soldiers burst into laughter.

Li Yao also laughed; it was indeed his oversight.

People like Lei Xinzhuang, who are left and right missing, are relatively rare. Most people either have lost both legs or both lower legs, or have lost an arm or something similar. It is unknown how Lei Xinzhuang was injured.

Li Yao asked out of curiosity, "How did you get injured?"

Lei Xinzhuang: "When I was on a peacekeeping mission in Africa, I lost an arm to a machine gun while covering my teammates' retreat. Later, when I charged the enemy, I lost a leg."

charge?

Your teammates retreat, but you charge towards the enemy?

Meeting Li Yao's questioning gaze, Lei Xinzhuang smiled brightly, "I thought I might not survive, so I thought killing more people wouldn't be a loss. I didn't expect those bastards to be so weak. They all collapsed after I only lost one leg."

He treated it as a topic of conversation, but his comrades around him all looked at him with admiration.

Li Yao pursed his lips and said, "Replacing all four limbs would be very strenuous."

Lei Xinzhuang flashed a bright white smile, "I think I'm very strong."

Li Yao then asked Han Xiaosang, "Can you remove his arm painlessly?"

Based on the information obtained from Derek, Han Xiaosang possesses the ability to control cells, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to make human limbs detach naturally like a gecko's tail.

Han Xiaosang shook her head. "That would alter the structure of human cells, so it has to be cut off."

Feng Li added, "Could we use anesthesia, or have Xiao Sang block the transmission of nerve signals?"

Xiao Sang finally nodded.

That leaves only the issue of workload. Li Yao can replenish his physical strength with Vitality Potion or stamina potions. For a more economical approach, he can ask the Wallfacer Organization for a solution. As the largest superhuman force in the country, they certainly have the necessary resources and experience in this area.

However, it's not so easy to replenish one's mental well-being.

"Essence Mana Potion" or "Wisdom Elixir" are high-end potions that even mages only use in critical moments.

I usually use meditation to enhance myself.

That kind of medicine is much more expensive to make.

So Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. I will set up a Mental Resilience Testing Device. Only those who pass the test can bear the weight of their limbs... It's settled then!"

Feng Li waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone, you can all leave now!"

Once the solution was proposed, everyone dispersed.

Xiao Sang needs to continue helping people get prosthetics.

Using her abilities actually takes a lot out of her; she needs to rest for more than half an hour after working for just ten minutes each time.

Therefore, Xiao Sang can only connect to a limited number of people per hour, about three or four.

If working an eight-hour day, Xiao Sang can treat a maximum of about thirty people a day.

There are two thousand people here...

Even if she worked non-stop without taking a single day off, it would still take Xiao Sang more than two months to completely connect and cure more than two thousand people.

This is a huge project.

Li Yao looked at Han Xiaosang. Her chubby little face, which had been pampered at the tavern and with the two elders, had become thin again. However, her eyes were bright, as if she had found her anchor in life, radiating a firm and clear light.

Li Yao had seen this kind of light before.

When Chen Tao used his expertise to rescue his girlfriend, a similar glint appeared in his eyes.

It was as if they had finally found their life's value and their lifelong aspirations.

Saving lives and healing the wounded

Is this Xiao Sang's ambition?

Li Yao asked gently, "Xiao Sang, you've worked hard. Are you tired?"

Xiao Sang shook her head, then nodded.

Li Yao said to Feng Li, "Don't let Xiao Sang get too tired. This matter is settled anyway, so there's no need to rush."

Feng Li said helplessly, "Of course we know, but Xiao Sang said it's okay and she'll keep working."

Li Yao scolded, "Just because she says it's okay doesn't mean it's okay! She's a child, and you're a child too!"

The usually arrogant Big Sis Feng Li was now as docile as a quail.

Xiao Sang, unable to bear it any longer, tugged at Li Yao's sleeve. "Uncle... don't be mean to Auntie. I'm really fine. If I'm tired, I can just rest for a night. Besides, I feel like I've become even stronger." She waved her little fist and said solemnly, "I can help out too!"

Li Yao: "..."

Feng Li: "..."

They both squatted down and said in unison, their voices full of earnestness, "You should call him brother/sister!"

Xiao Sang: "..."

Li Yao pinched Xiao Sang's cheek. "You've already helped a lot! Don't push yourself too hard, look how thin your face is! If my mom sees this, she'll definitely think I'm mistreating you, and then your godmother will definitely chase me around with a feather duster."

Um...

It's quite a vivid image.

Xiao Sang was conflicted. Uncle is her godmother's son. Is it inappropriate to call him uncle again?

But calling him "brother" would make him seem too old, wouldn't it?

Xiao Sang was exhausted. She couldn't believe that she had to think about such ethical issues at such a young age! Li Yao didn't know what Xiao Sang was thinking. After asking Feng Li to arrange for Xiao Sang to rest, he found Feng Li, "I will send you a set of mental will testing devices in the next few days. Only soldiers who can hold on for thirty seconds in the device will be allowed to have full prosthetics installed."

These warriors must possess exceptional willpower and can become the elite force of the Phoenix Legion! Feng Li nodded. "I remember you said that after the prosthetic limb is installed, it will also have a slow strengthening effect on the host's body?"
