I'll Hold Them Off Alone (Alliance Master Ren Xing Guai)
(Congratulations to the newly crowned Alliance Leader "Ren Xing Guai"! Here's the first bonus chapter.)
"Three hours... I can only perform initial treatment. To quickly restore nerve function, I need to reopen the sutures and re-treat the wound, which will be very painful!"
Bai Guyue looked at the crooked stitches, and her focused expression made Bai Guyue frown.
"Who stitched up this wound? It's utterly ridiculous."
Mu Fan grinned, revealing a slightly pale smile. "If I don't deal with this, I'll probably die on the way."
Hearing Mu Fan utter the word "death" so casually, Bai Guyue's eyes widened in surprise and shock.
"You cleaned the wound and sutured it yourself?!"
Mu Fan lowered his eyelids, nodded, and softly hummed in agreement.
"Three hours, okay!... I'll treat your wound again, you have to bear it! Then I will perform cell repair under the influence of assisted Bio-Current Stimulation, which will be extremely painful and will quickly deplete your strength. Afterwards, you will need to replenish a lot of energy and apply the medicine for a week."
This was her bottom line as a medical professional when her friend was seriously injured!
Nothing is more important than life.
Bai Guyue became unusually stubborn at this moment.
Seeing the determination in the other person's eyes, Mu Fan nodded. "I have the Special Medicine and energy supplements. Please, three hours at most."
"Okay, then I'll reopen the sutures and treat it again. I'll give you local anesthesia first." After seeing Mu Fan agree, Bai Guyue put on a mask and disposable gloves and prepared to get a syringe.
At this moment, Mu Fan's voice suddenly rang out:
"No anesthesia, I need... a clear mind."
Looking at his horrific wounds and feeling a slight dizziness emanating from deep within his body, Mu Fan's voice was as firm as a nail striking iron!
Ultimately, the surgery was performed without anesthesia due to Mu Fan's exceptionally persistent insistence.
Bai Guyue underwent a second surgery.
Mu Fan lay on the operating table, feeling the cold, sharp blade cutting into his wound again, before Bai Guyue carefully cleaned it and performed anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and hemostatic procedures.
The girl then took out a dense array of needle-like activators.
Behind each gleaming silver needle tip is a long, thin wire.
"Bear with it, the next step is to rapidly restore nerve function." Fine beads of sweat also appeared on Bai Guyue's forehead.
He exhaled a soft breath, then swiftly inserted the needle tip into Mu Fan's body.
Each insertion is accompanied by a surge of electric current, followed by a wave of pain before the needle is pulled out and inserted again for the second time.
Mu Fan's body trembled slightly before becoming as still as steel.
Five consecutive minutes of uninterrupted acupuncture.
Bai Guyue and Mu Fan had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads.
When the suture needle was removed ten minutes later, Bai Guyue looked at her peer who hadn't uttered a sound with disbelief.
This level of pain is enough to make someone dizzy, yet he...
This is the second time I've managed to withstand it without anesthesia!
Throughout his medical career, Bai Guyue has traveled to many places with his grandfather, but he has never met anyone with such willpower!
What was the purpose of that unwavering belief in his eyes?
The girl forcibly suppressed these questions in her heart.
Then, Mu Fan saw the exquisite sutures on his wound, moved his lips, and said three words: "Thank you."
Because at this point he could feel that control of the other three fingers was gradually returning.
The subsequent Bio-Cabin treatment subjected Mu Fan to over two hours of intense stimulation.
Under the stimulation of the auxiliary electric current, the Cell Repair Fluid swirls like boiling water, each time it washes over the wound, it brings out large amounts of blood.
Mu Fan's physical strength was being rapidly depleted, but astonishing changes were beginning to occur within his wounds.
His unique and extraordinary physical recovery ability, combined with Bai Guyue's superb medical skills, finally allowed Mu Fan's wounds to heal in a way that far exceeded Bai Guyue's expectations.
When the time was up, Mu Fan stood up and put his light gray Medical Center uniform back on.
Although Mu Fan appeared weaker this time, the spirit and conviction between his brows were indeed stronger than ever.
That vibrant sense of life made Bai Guyue's eyebrows almost furrow together.
Mu Fan's body completely overturned her previous treatment experience!
"Mu Fan, the cell repair effect of these two hours... has actually reached the level of a seven-hour cycle! Your body and willpower are terrifying." Bai Guyue's words were filled with undisguised shock and admiration.
"Time is of the essence, I have other matters to attend to, and I must leave now. Thank you!"
"Good friend, no need to be so polite. Is there anything I can help you with? I will definitely do my best to help you if I can." Bai Guyue said very seriously. She could naturally see that Mu Fan's wound was not simple, but she did not ask why.
In her simple world, there are only those who are good to her and those who are bad to her.
As for right and wrong, her grandfather never deliberately taught her.
"Thank you, but no need. I'll come to thank you again in a few days! Goodbye." Remembering his upcoming tasks, Mu Fan solemnly said, preparing to take his leave.
"Be careful... and remember that you need to keep applying that Special Medicine for at least three days. If you need anything, just call me." Bai Guyue didn't press the matter further, but she stumbled a little when she finished speaking because she was nervous.
"Okay." Mu Fan gave a sincere smile, then turned and left.
His left hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, was already clenched into a fist.
Step two: Exceed the target!
After Mu Fan's figure disappeared into the long plant corridor, an old man with white hair and beard appeared from behind and slowly walked to Bai Guyue's side.
It was Bai Yiduo, the First Pharmacist who was respectfully called "Master Bai" by everyone!
He stared intently in the direction Mu Fan had left, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
A wisp of white mist in his hand sometimes expands and sometimes contracts, as if it were alive, dancing in his palm.
"Grandpa, you're awake." Bai Guyue was clearly startled, having been completely unaware of her grandfather's presence.
She was terrified of her grandfather, especially after seeing the white mist in his palm. She forced herself to suppress her fear and instinctively lowered her head.
That was Grandpa's most terrifying weapon; every time he stood beside it, his heart would jump into his throat.
A mixture of toxins that could kill almost any living organism... and Grandpa just played with it in his hands.
When will I be able to reach that level?
"Yes, your surgery was very good."
Master Bai did not turn to his granddaughter, but continued to look in the direction Mu Fan had left. Although his tone was dignified, it was not hard to hear the faint praise in it.
This immediately brightened the girl's face; it was rare to hear her grandfather praise her.
"However, there's still no progress with the six-stage reagent! Go back to sleep now, we'll continue tomorrow." Master Bai's tone suddenly turned stern again.
This made Bai Guyue's face turn bitter, but she still obediently hummed in agreement, pressed the electronic button for automatic cleaning, and disappeared from the room.
Bai Yiduo remained standing there for several minutes before a soft sigh, seemingly both nostalgic and reminiscing, echoed in the room:
"This feeling is so familiar... This killing intent and hatred... I vaguely see... myself from back then."
He raised his hand, watching the white mist in his hand expand and contract as if it were alive, finally condensing into a solid like crystal. He clenched his fist, put his hands behind his back, and left.
The house returned to silence.
Outside the courtyard, the ghost-like Hover Car arrived once again.
Mu Fan sat down, feeling the thirst emanating from his cells and the tingling pain in his shoulders. Although he was still unable to exert force, it was a sign that his body was beginning to recover!
Inside the dark vehicle, the eerie flames in the boy's eyes began to brighten and grow stronger.
When he spoke, his deep yet powerful words echoed in the car.
"Black."
"Exist."
"First, send me back to Dingchuan, return the car to its original place, and erase all traces of it."
"Second, contact the Nautilus Warehouse's autonomous driving robot to wait at the academy gate."
"And then, let's fight together."
Mu Fan looked down at his clenched fists, veins bulging.
Conspiracy, open scheme...
I accepted them all this time.

P. S.: A thank-you note for donations will be presented in a separate chapter.
I'd like to recommend a book, "Nuclear Blood Machine Heart," by a brilliant Cute Girl female author. While both are science fiction mecha works, the author's extensive knowledge puts me to shame.
By the way, Zhang owes me two inflatable dolls now that she's gone. Could you guys please help me get them back?
Having these two dolls will make me feel incredibly cool for a long time. Thank you everyone...
