Fellow Patients

The Louvre Palace riots resulted in numerous deaths and injuries.

As a tightly bound group of interests, any misfortune suffered by one of the Western Capital City would inevitably lead to damage to the overall interests of the other Lineage.

The Sequence Committee has a lot to clean up, and the intricate web of connections between them is giving many people a headache.

Not only were the temporary committee members replaced, but the ousted committee members also had their own issues.

Wang Yi'an was once full of vigor, survived a great calamity, but his son Wang Zetao died in the riots, and his legs were cut off by Zhang Qiaoen. This made him despondent and silent, just like Wang Haoran a few years ago.

Zhou Rihui and Zhou Yueyan were placed in the X446 medical pod for treatment.

Ren Yisheng also lay down in the X432 medical pod.

Another committee member named Zhong Zhenzhen was also recuperating. Zhang Xuezhou had no relation to this committee member, but this committee member's father was Zhong Rang, the fourth committee member of the first Sequence Committee.

Only a few can charge to the front and survive. They either have great skills, are seriously injured by rocket artillery bombardment and have to withdraw, or survive sniping like Song Bu'er.

Apart from that, the rest were beyond saving.

How is Professor Zhang?

Is Professor Zhang awake?

Compared to Song Fengying and Zhang Weimeng, Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian showed more concern for Zhang Xuezhou.

Both suffered severe injuries from the massive explosion in North Rehe and nearly died; they have been recuperating at a medical center ever since.

The fact that they did not forcefully take charge of the Sequence Committee's affairs saved them from disaster, but Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian had never faced such a critical moment.

If they hadn't been completely wrapped in bandages, making it difficult to see their faces and determine their actual location, the two siblings felt they would have been highly likely to be assassinated.

To those plotting rebellion, they are all uncontrollable and unstable factors.

Like the elderly in the old mansion, they would be killed without hesitation by the instigators should there be any opportunity to eliminate them.

This riot had a significant impact on the two of them.

Never before had the two of them desired Zhang Xuezhou to possess abundant divine grace, and then rely on that god Tu'er to heal them.

But before anything even began, Zhang Xuezhou found himself in a precarious situation.

Zhang Xuezhou is one of the very few people who survived being stabbed by Zhang Qiaoen.

Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian sensed something fishy was going on, but they didn't want to investigate further. All they wanted at the moment was for Zhang Xuezhou to recover his health so as not to extinguish their hopes for recovery.

"The scalpel has been removed, and the patient is in good condition!"

The attending physician who emerged from the operating room had a slightly strange expression on his face.

He had never seen such a bizarre injury. The knife was stuck in the patient's chest, yet there was no sign of severe bleeding, as if the knife was an extension of the patient's body.

Moreover, his main job was to administer anesthesia and remove the scalpel.

However, after two injections of local anesthetic, the other person was not anesthetized at all.

Ultimately, the only option was to forcibly remove the scalpel, resulting in several screams from the operating room.

After removing the knife, the next step is to stop the bleeding, a process that can be quite troublesome.

When Ren Wuyang, who managed the Jishi Medical Center, became impatient, he was kicked out and the treatment was handed over to Ren Wuyang.

That's the gist of it. Listening to the heavy breathing still coming from the operating room, the attending physician felt that the patient's condition should be very stable.

"Can we go in and take a look?" asked Chang Kong Yinghao, who was still wrapped up like a mummy.

"To prevent cross-infection, I think it would be better for you two to see the doctor outside," the attending physician said politely.

Chang Kongyinghao was very polite, but the attending physician knew that the other party was most likely a person of importance. However, the other party had too many injuries when he was transferred to the hospital, so he could not recognize his appearance or know his identity.

Ren Wuyang, who was in charge of the Jishi Medical Center, was extremely polite to the two of them, clearly someone he could not afford to offend.

After deflecting the matter, the attending physician was about to leave with the medical team when a shout came from the operating room. Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian then happily pushed the wheelchair into the room.

Professor Zhang looks to be in good health!

"This doesn't look like someone who's been stabbed at all!"

Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian pushed the wheelchair faster than a person could run, and the two even drifted, stopping right in front of the operating table.

Zhang Xuezhou still showed signs of pain on his face, but he was fine now, having just come off the operating table.

If it weren't for the knife Zhang Xuezhou's chest, Chang Kong Yinghao would have almost doubted that Zhang Xuezhou hadn't been stabbed.

Of course, it's a rare thing that the other party survived being stabbed by Zhang Qiaoen.

Wang Yi'an's legs were severed, and several others had their bodies pierced, while Zhang Xuezhou appeared to be unharmed.

"I'm very lucky," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

There are many cultivators at the Divine Ability Realm who have been killed by cultivators of a lower level, and many have even been killed by assassins of a lower level. Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was nothing shameful about almost being beaten to death by Zhang Qiaoen, and it was not incomprehensible that Zhang Qiaoen, who was ganged up on by everyone, ended up like this.

In their temporary team that surrounded and attacked Zhang Qiaoen, there were those who were good at defense and those who were good at control, but there was no high- Sequence Holder was good at strong attacks. For example, Wang Yi'an seized the opportunity but found it difficult to cause real and effective damage to Zhang Qiaoen.

For various reasons, they were almost wiped out.

But Zhang Xuezhou was very happy. He felt that after the rapid rise of the "Tomb Classic," the corresponding response should also decline rapidly, and his bad luck might have already passed.

Of course, even if his bad luck hasn't passed, as long as he seeks techniques to improve his luck, his symptoms will be relieved or even disappear, and he may even have good luck again.

Having reached the Divine Ability Realm, Zhang Xuezhou had no particular ambitions for the time being. He simply wanted to become more normal to avoid encountering misfortune in any accidental conflict.

Like Zhu Haishan, the other party probably never imagined in his life that he would lose his life to an out-of-control rocket launcher. When luck is bad, there is no reason to believe it.

Zhang Xuezhou had just broken through to the Divine Ability Realm when he was caught up in a riot and even stabbed in the back. This was something Zhang Xuezhou found hard to understand, but he could accept it.

In this incident, perhaps the only one who had foresight was Zuo Teng.

However, Zuo Teng was of low status and could not speak out. Even if he did speak, others would just take it as a joke. Even though Zhang Xuezhou valued Zuo Teng's words, he did not expect things to progress so quickly.

"Zhang Qiaoen most likely got the information from Zuo Quan. If Zuo Teng has been exposed, he'll be in danger next!"

There are many things that Zhang Xuezhou can't just do because he wants to. For example, Zuo Teng feels that his father has a problem, and Zhang Xuezhou agrees with this, but it's not something they can just investigate or arrest on a whim.

Targeting a committee member without solid evidence can backfire and have unbearable consequences if the investigation fails to bring them down.

Zhang Xuezhou may seem to have a lot of connections, but his own fate is truly lacking.

If the authority of the Sequence Committee is so easily challenged, then it is no longer the highest power center of the Scarlet Alliance State.

Zhang Qiaoen is the loser of the challenge. The ensuing turmoil may cause the opponent's Lineage and power to disappear directly, and will also bring disaster to many other Lineage closely related to them.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't get involved, and Zuo Teng lacked the ability and qualifications. In fact, the conflict between Zuo Teng and Zuo Quan was more of a family matter, making it difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Chang Kong Yinghao and Chang Kong Yinglian.

He hoped the two men could find the heron blood serum faster, so they could recover 90% of their injuries and be discharged from the hospital; otherwise, the chaos in Western Capital City would be difficult to clean up.
