Who Is Lou Yu's Wife? (Gong-focused plot, little shou content) (continued)

Lou Quan considered for a few seconds and felt that this amount of leverage should be enough, so he told Lou Yu to go and rest first, and he would tell him the result after he had reached an agreement with the other party.

As soon as Lou Yu left, Lou Quan made a phone call and explained the prepared explanation that he and Lou Yu had given each other.

They also said they needed to discuss it further and would give him an answer later.

Lou Quan wasn't in a hurry; he was confident the other side would agree.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the other party called and said they accepted the exchange.

The objective had been achieved, but the solemn expression on Lou Quan's face didn't fade much.

Last time it was Lou Yu's materials, this time it's Lou Yu's blood and practice tips, what will we use next time, and the time after that, to satisfy their appetites?

It's impossible for him to give up Lou Yu; otherwise, he'll inevitably face difficulties later.

In recent years, he has been vigorously supporting doctoral students in their research on reagents because he doesn't want to be dependent on others for such essential needs anymore.

The awakening experiment did not end well, and the current situation at the Yong'an Base is not much better than before.

Despite the fact that, compared to the experimental data from the Central Base, sacrificing fifty-two people to obtain one superhuman, even if it was a defective product, was still a very good result.

But as mentioned before, they didn't have the confidence to compare themselves to the Central Base.

A drop of water falling on a person can only wet a small patch of skin, but if it falls on an ant, it can kill it.

Lou Quan was actively searching for a way out for the Yong'an Base, but all that lay ahead was darkness, and he himself was about to be swallowed up by it.

More than a month later, the tide of mutated monsters finally receded.

The base was destroyed? The area needs to be rebuilt? The injured and wounded need to be resettled? Money, manpower, and materials are needed in every aspect? Lou Quan has endless meetings, phone calls, and documents to sign every day.

Has the person become much thinner and more irritable?

"Where's Lou Yu? Let him handle this." Lou Quan rested his forehead on one hand, his brows furrowed tightly.

The adjutant cautiously said, "Captain Lou is still in the hospital. He was attacked by a mutated plant, his abdomen was pierced, and he almost died."

Lou Quan was stunned upon hearing this. He had been too busy lately and hadn't even known that Lou Yu was injured.

"Is he still... alright?"

The adjutant said, "He was rushed to the hospital in time. He had suffered severe blood loss, but he's a superhuman with strong healing abilities, so he pulled through."

Lou Quan sighed and said, "I'm busy these few days. Could you take some gifts and visit him in the hospital for me?"

The adjutant replied, "Yes, I'll go after I get off work."

Lou Yu has actually been in the hospital for half a month. He can get out of bed and move around now, but he still can't do heavy work.

The situation at the time was that mutated plants had invaded, and after he used all his supernatural abilities to kill a wave of attacking monsters, he was helped to the side to rest.

Thanks to Lou Yu and the other warriors' efforts, the main force of the monsters was wiped out, leaving only a few waves of smaller monsters. Even without him, the rest of the group could handle them.

Because the monster was attacking from the front, everyone's attention was focused ahead. Lou Yu, while resting by the car, remained vigilant and kept observing his surroundings.

He was just doing it as a precaution, but he never expected that an accident would actually happen.

An unidentified plant with serrated leaves possessed the ability to expand and contract. After escaping from a corner to the inner perimeter, it silently hid under a car, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The soldier closest to the vehicle became its target. The soldier was focused on dealing with the mutated monster in front and completely failed to notice the serrated leaf monster hiding under the vehicle to its side and rear.

That vehicle had a high chassis, enough to fit a person, and its parking spot was also quite convenient, very close to the battlefield, which is why it was chosen by the monster.

Lou Yu guessed that the monster's original plan was to drag the soldiers under the vehicle first, and then use the vehicle as cover to escape back to the battlefield.

It had a very good plan, but unfortunately it ran into Lou Yu.

Just as it suddenly swelled up and extended its serrated leaves, preparing to pierce the soldier's body, wrap him up, and carry him away, Lou Yu rushed forward and tackled the man to the ground.

The soldiers were unharmed, but Lou Yu was stabbed through the abdomen from behind by a serrated leaf. If the others hadn't reacted quickly and killed the mutated monster in time, he would have been the one dragged away.

Since the start of the defense, Lou Yu has suffered numerous injuries, both major and minor, but this time it was the most serious.

According to witnesses at the scene, Lou Yu was lifted into the air by the serrated leaf, and blood fell like rain.

Everyone thought Lou Yu was going to die. He was in the emergency room for three hours, and the soldier he had saved cried outside for three hours.

Fortunately, he was lucky; the mutated plant was non-toxic, and he had an extraordinary self-healing ability, which barely saved his life, but he still remained unconscious for three days before waking up.

When Lou Yu lunged forward, he actually considered his special self-healing ability as a superhuman. He might not die from the injury, but the soldier would definitely perish, so he took a gamble.

After Lou Yu woke up, the soldier's whole family came to the hospital to thank him. Although their family was not well-off, they still managed to raise enough money for the medical expenses and did not renege on their debt.

Every day after work, the soldier would bring his mother's cooking to visit Lou Yu. He was a warm-hearted chatterbox, and he could talk to Lou Yu for two hours every day without repeating himself.

After the chatterbox left today, the doctor came to check on Lou Yu and, seeing how quickly his injuries were healing, exclaimed how amazing people with superpowers truly are.

Lou Yu's injury healed quickly, but he wasn't very happy.

John was on night watch tonight. Seeing Lou Yu staring intently at his stomach with a serious expression, he asked, "Captain, is your wound hurting? I'll go call the doctor."

Lou Yu refused, saying, "No need. It hurts every day, and I can't take painkillers every day. Calling a doctor won't help either."

John sighed, sat down on the chair next to him, and started chatting with Lou Yu.

But as they talked, Lou Yu subconsciously looked down at his abdomen. His expression didn't seem to be from pain, John asked, "Is there something wrong with your wound?"

Lou Yu seemed troubled. "Will it leave a scar?"

John said, "Such a big wound, like the one on your chest, it'll definitely leave a scar."

After saying that, John thought for a moment, then suddenly understood something and joked, "What's wrong, Captain? Are you worried that your scar is too ugly and your future wife will dislike you?"

Lou Yu said earnestly, "If I get injured, he will feel sorry for me."

Tao Qiu really likes touching his abs. The scar on his chest used to upset him, and now he has one on his stomach too. Tao Qiu will probably cry.

John was about to laugh, but then he realized something was off. Lou Yu was speaking with such seriousness, as if he really did have a wife.

"Captain, you..." John hesitated, realizing he had stumbled upon a major secret.

"What's wrong with me?" Lou Yu asked.

"No, nothing." John thought Lou Yu was pretending to be stupid, so he stood up and said, controlling his facial expression, "I'm going to the restroom outside."

He finished speaking and then slipped away as fast as an eel, before Lou Yu could even stop him.

He wondered to himself, "Isn't there a toilet in the ward? Why do I have to go outside?"

John hid on the deserted balcony, dialed Liu Qi'an's number, and excitedly said, "Quickly call them all over! Big news! It's about the captain's wife! You can listen for free!"

John's usual aloof and fierce image in front of outsiders vanished at this moment.

They don't usually call to chat because of the high cost of communication, but when it comes to Lou Yu, it's worth it.

An hour later, John returned to the ward looking radiant, a smile still playing on his lips.

Lou Yu: "..."

Going to the toilet and looking this good? Did you find money in the toilet?

Ever since the news that Lou Yu might have a girlfriend spread throughout the team, the team members have become even more proactive in taking turns to stay with him in the hospital. They arrive earliest and leave latest, following Lou Yu wherever he goes, just wanting to see who this "wife" is.

Why not just ask Lou Yu directly? Since he didn't tell them on his own initiative, he must be trying to keep it from them for now.

Moreover, melons dug up by oneself are more fragrant and delicious, after all, they embody one's own hard work and sweat.

Lou Yu's teammates figured that he basically stayed in the base except when he was on missions, so he couldn't possibly go out to talk to the mutated monsters. Therefore, the target could only be inside the base.

Aside from his teammates, Lou Yu's relationships with other men, women, and children at the base seemed rather ordinary, and there was no hint of any romantic atmosphere.

They followed him for several days, but they still couldn't figure out who he was interested in.

The teammates were frustrated.

Huo Lan crossed his arms and frowned, saying, "If it weren't for the captain encouraging me to boldly pursue my love when I was flirting with the handsome doctor today, I would have doubted whether he liked me."

As the only person vaguely aware of the situation, Chen Lin, who had been watching the spectacle, immediately became unsettled after hearing what Huo Lan said.

"What? A handsome doctor? You want to pursue him?"

Huo Lan rolled his eyes. "Me, flirting with ten or eight handsome guys a week? How could I possibly pursue them all?"

Chen Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a few seconds, he still subtly revealed a hint, "Why are you all so rigid? Who says that just because you've been staying at the base for a long time, you have to like someone from there?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi'an's eyes widened in surprise. "Yes, there's more than one base in the world. Maybe the captain met someone from another base while on a solo mission, and they fell in love at first sight. Who knows?"

John and Huo Lan were successfully led astray.

"That's possible."

"That makes finding out who it is even more complicated."

Chen Lin: "..."

I quietly moved a little further away from them.

There's a fear that low intelligence can be transmitted through the air.

Another half month passed, Lou Yu was able to be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home. His teammates, unable to find their captain's wife for a long time, also gave up their efforts.
