" Captain Shen, I'm sorry!"
Chen Xin looked at the young man in front of him, who was even younger than himself, with some shame.
"Your injuries are much more complicated than I initially thought. I can't heal you all at once; you'll probably need to come back for a few more days!"
"Okay, I understand!" Shen Heng nodded calmly.
"In the next few days, you can continue to let the Origin Power flow through your body to nourish it, but be careful not to use it on a large scale, otherwise it may worsen your injuries," Chen Xin reminded him.
Shen Heng paused slightly upon hearing this.
Having just repelled one wave of beasts, theoretically, the Calamity Beast shouldn't be able to organize another wave in the short term, however...
"Using Origin Power to Body Tempering?" Shen Heng asked.
"Yes, but try to extend the Body Tempering time as much as possible, and reduce the Origin Power used during Body Tempering," Chen Xin said.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Heng nodded slowly.
"In that case, I'll be leaving now!" Chen Xin stood up and let out a soft breath.
After three days, he was finally freed from the heavy medical workload.
It's not that everyone else has been cured.
Rather, it required his intervention to treat the condition, and the problem has been largely resolved.
After treating the other more serious injuries, he rushed over immediately.
They initially thought that since the other party hadn't come looking for them after a few days, the injuries must be alright. However, after a thorough examination, they discovered that the other party's injuries were quite shocking.
One meridian after another, like overstretched springs, have lost most of their elasticity, and many of them are covered with fine cracks.
In professional terms, those meridians endured an explosive force far exceeding their limits, resulting in structural damage and signs of necrosis.
The muscles are relatively better, but there was still a severe muscle strain.
This kind of injury would be a death sentence for an ordinary person; even if he were alive, it wouldn't make a difference.
In other words, once the opponent reaches the Fifth Tier, their body can be described as inhuman; otherwise, they would not have been able to survive.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin subconsciously looked up at the calm-faced figure in front of him.
The other party used their Origin Power to nourish and repair the meridians.
However, the transition between the old and the new was exceptionally slow; without him, it would probably have taken at least a month.
Honestly, he had no idea how the other person managed to endure it. Didn't it hurt?
Chen Xin let out a soft breath and said:
"In that case, I'll take my leave now. Until you've fully recovered, please do as I just said, Captain Shen."
"Okay, I understand, thank you!" Shen Heng nodded slightly and smiled.
"You're too kind!" Chen Xin said with a smile, then bowed slightly and stepped back.
Shen Heng continued to sit in the room, lightly tapping the table with his finger.
Suddenly, his raised finger paused slightly, then he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
To be honest, the injuries on my body definitely hurt.
But he had no other choice but to try to distract himself and reduce his perception of pain.
Otherwise, what do you expect him to do? Just stand there screaming in pain?
Shen Heng raised his finger and placed it back on the table.
However, at the S-Class, twenty-three Late Fourth Tier inspectors were sacrificed...
If it weren't for the fact that his abilities were just enough to somewhat counter the two types of attacks that the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi excelled at, he probably wouldn't even have been able to hold out.
S-Class...
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused slightly, his gaze shifting to the wristband that was vibrating slightly on the table.
Upon arriving at the command post, Shen Heng nodded to the two officers, then looked at Zhou Zhenguo.
"Have you received any news from the base?" Shen Heng asked.
"Yes," Zhou Zhenguo nodded, a smile appearing on his lips, and continued, "The relevant personnel and supplies will be replenished in the next few days."
He continued:
"Moreover, this intelligence is of great significance. There may be S-Class Calamity Beast mixed in with the beast tide, which is very important for other cities, enabling them to better resist the beast tide."
Shen Heng nodded, but there wasn't much joy on his face.
Even if you know, stopping it isn't actually that easy.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenguo's smile faded somewhat.
Indeed, although he didn't understand it very well, he could tell from the casualties of the inspectors who went down to try to hunt the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi.
Twenty people went to hunt a Calamity Beast whose cultivation level was not even higher than their own, but more than half of them were killed or wounded.
Part of the reason was that other Calamity Beast were interfering at the beginning.
However, at this stage, those who can cultivate to the Late Fourth Tier are all formidable individuals!
Therefore, it must be admitted that S-Class Calamity Beast are indeed enough to crush ordinary members of the Supervision Bureau!
"We can only hope that the Calamity Beast responsible for leading the beast tide won't have to appear!" Zhou Zhenguo said in a deep voice.
Shen Heng nodded slowly.
Based on past experience, the Calamity Beast that are usually responsible for leading the beast tides generally do not participate in the battle.
After all, if the Calamity Beast below die, they die; but if I die, I'm truly dead!
This time, if it weren't for those two Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi rushing at us, the situation wouldn't have escalated to that point.
"However," Zhou Zhenguo continued, "Regardless of the circumstances, this victory is still of great significance!"
"Through this setback, the Calamity Beast may adjust their strategies more quickly, ultimately moving closer to our strategic objectives."
Shen Heng nodded, his gaze fixed on the map projected in mid-air.
Their strategic objective was to make the Calamity Beast realize that attacking and destroying a single city was meaningless, thereby causing Calamity Beast to distribute their hordes of monsters across different Anchor Point and the Eye of Earth Marrow.
Zhou Zhenguo also turned his gaze to the map.
"What are your thoughts on the subsequent actions of the Calamity Beast?"
"What do you think?" Shen Heng looked over.
"Do you think that after the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi left this time, it will come back again?" Zhou Zhenguo asked Shen Heng with a serious expression.
Shen Heng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:
"It's uncertain. They might come, or they might not."
"Isn't that obvious, kid?" Zhou Zhenguo said with a laugh.
"We came here because there's a possibility we might hold a grudge, and besides, our continued presence here poses a threat to the Anchor Point on the side," Shen Heng explained.
"The reason we don't come is that, even if we stay here, we can only influence one or two Anchor Point."
"So, instead of coming here, you'll have to deal with other cities..."
After a slight pause, Shen Heng continued:
"For the Calamity Beast, the benefits might be even greater!"
Zhou Zhenguo nodded slowly.
The two turned their gaze back to the map projected in mid-air.
Suddenly, Shen Heng turned his head slightly and looked in one direction.
A moment later, intermittent mechanical sounds echoed from inside the command post.
"Detection... Beast tide... Approaching... Chongshan City, please... Plans for the remaining cities!"
"Detection..."
