The First Hospital of Yuanyang City, Intensive Floor.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it had been two hours since Chief Zhou Yang led the A-level soldiers to deal with the alien race.

Ling Xiangming and Ling An waited anxiously outside the door, and the red indicator light in the operating room was always on, which made Ling Xiangming's face always a little pale.

"Dad, don't worry, didn't Chief Zhou Yang say that my brother's injury is very serious, but the doctors here have the ability to treat him."

In Ling An's opinion, Ling Zhiyuan had only suffered some impacts at that time, and he also knew that the soldiers of the Glorious Army had even surpassed the scope of normal human beings for reasons that most ordinary people did not know, not to mention that Ling Zhiyuan had no wounds on his body, Ling An thought that he was only slightly injured.

But who knows, after an A-class warrior saw it, he said that Ling Zhiyuan's injuries were very serious and needed special examination and treatment.

Chief Zhou Yang personally arranged, together with the adjutant, who was also an A-class soldier, to send Ling Zhiyuan to Yuanyang First Hospital, and they were greeted by the medical team that had been prepared a long time ago.

After a cursory examination, the chief physician of the medical team told them that Ling Zhiyuan needed surgery, which surprised Ling An.

Ling An only told his father the news, and after Ling Xiangming found out, he found an excuse to hide it from Yu Shuwan and Ling Xuan, and rushed over, just when Ling Zhiyuan was sent to the operating room.

While comforting his father, Ling An glanced at Chief Zhou Yang who was standing aside.

As the highest defense commander here, General Zhou Yang actually didn't go to his own work, but stayed here to wait for the results, which made Ling An and Ling Xiangming both a little moved.

"Mr. Ling, you don't have to be too anxious, your son's injuries are mainly internal, but as long as you take out some things through surgery and do some repairs, it's fine." Chief Zhou Yang smiled.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou. In this case, you should have a lot to do. You don't need to stay here and wait. Ling Xiangming hurriedly said.

Chief Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Mr. Ling, you're welcome, Zhiyuan is a member of the Glorious Army, and he is also a temporary member of the Earth Defense Force during his vacation. As the defense chief of Asia, I naturally have to accompany me when this kind of thing happens. I let the adjutant take care of all the other trivial matters. ”

At this moment, the light in the operating room went out.

The door to the operating room opened, and a doctor wearing a mask walked out.

"Doctor Nie, how is my son doing?" Ling Xiangming hurriedly asked.

Because Ling Xuan was also treated in Yuanyang First Hospital, Ling Xiangming was familiar with many senior doctors here.

The Doctor Nie in front of him, as far as Ling Xiangming knew, was the best surgeon in this hospital.

Every Glorious Army soldier gets almost the best treatment on earth.

"The patient is out of danger and his condition has stabilized. If you want to know the specific situation, the family members should wait first, because the patient's identity is special, so the situation needs to be reported to General Director Zhou Yang first. Doctor Nie said politely.

Ling Xiangming was stunned, and Chief Zhou Yang beside him said to him:

"Mr. Ling, I'm sorry, I still need you to wait a little longer, this may involve information that needs to be kept confidential, please understand."

Anyway, Ling Zhiyuan was already out of danger of his life, and Ling Xiangming was not as anxious as before, so he hurriedly expressed his understanding.

Chief Zhou Yang followed Dr. Nie into a room, and in less than ten minutes, Dr. Nie came out again.

As soon as Dr. Nie came out, Ling An and Ling Zhiyuan hurriedly greeted him.

"Doctor, can you tell us the specific situation of Zhiyuan now?"

Who knows, Dr. Nie still shook his head and said:

"I have already told Chief Zhou the specific situation, he is letting you in, and he will tell you about the patient's situation. I also need to do some follow-up preparation for the patient, and I will be out of company first. ”

"Thank you, doctor." Ling Xiangming hurriedly thanked him.

When the father and son entered the room where Dr. Nie came out, Chief Zhou Yang looked pensive,

"Mr. Zhou, the specific situation of Zhiyuan ......"

Ling Xiangming's words made Chief Zhou Yang wake up from his contemplation, and he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Ling, sit down first. Ling An, you also sit. ”

After the two of them sat down, Chief Zhou Yang said:

"Two, about the situation of Zhiyuan, I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first? ”

The father and son looked at each other, and Ling An opened his mouth and said:

"Chief Zhou Yang, don't be kidding."

"Okay, then I'll talk about the bad news first."

Mr. Zhou Yang sighed.

"The bad news is that Ling Zhiyuan's nerves in many parts of his body are seriously damaged, and although he has no worries about his life, he is afraid that he will be permanently disabled......"

Ling Xiangming and Ling An were stunned at the same time.

"So, what about the good news?" Ling Xiangming asked.

In fact, Ling An on the side had already guessed about ......

Chief Zhou Yang's face showed a trace of bitterness, he sighed again, and said:

"The good news is that because of his condition, he meets the relevant conditions for compulsory retirement under the Honorable Army regulations, and he will be required to retire."

"He no longer needs to leave Earth and go to the Martian battlefield."

This news made Ling Xiangming stunned.

Then, he began to tremble slightly, and asked in a tone that did not know whether it was sad or joyful:

"You, are you telling the truth? Zhiyuan is retiring? ”

Chief Zhou Yang bowed slightly,

"Yes, Ling Zhiyuan has retired."

"Great! That's great! Ling Xiangming couldn't help but say excitedly, and there were even tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

As a father, except for Yu Shuwan, no one hopes that his eldest son Ling Zhiyuan can stay away from that battlefield more than him.

It would have been an incomparably glorious thing for a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, and Ling Xiangming also agreed with this.

However, he hoped that his son would not take risks and live well, even as a mediocre person, rather than glory.

After all, none of the relatives and friends that Ling Xiangming knew who had joined the Glorious Army had returned......

Among them, including Ling Xiangming's younger brother, Ling An, Ling Xuan and Ling Zhiyuan's uncle, a glorious soldier who died on the battlefield as a C-level soldier - Ling Shouyue.

To this day, his name remains on the list under the monument in Yuanyang City.

Those who can return with glory are only a few, after all.

Ling Xiangming was a little excited, but looking at Chief Zhou Yang, he seemed to feel that he didn't respect the Glorious Army like this, swallowed his saliva and calmed down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I'm a little out of shape."

"No apologies, I understand." Chief Zhou Yang still had a smiling expression.

Ling An had been observing Chief Zhou Yang.

Perhaps, this news is good news for the Ling family, but it should not be good news for the Glorious Army.

After all, they had lost a fighter, and Ling Zhiyuan seemed to be favored by the top brass of the Glorious Army, and in their opinion, he should belong to the group of people with great potential.

Perhaps, for Ling Zhiyuan himself, this is not good news......

"Zhiyuan's medical expenses will be fully reimbursed by the Defense Logistics Bureau, and after retirement, he will enjoy the treatment of retired soldiers, but, according to the regulations, because it is an abnormal forced retirement, the treatment will be lower than that of normal retired soldiers, please forgive me." Chief Zhou Yang said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can understand." Ling Xiangming hurriedly said.

When had he ever seen such a low-voiced big man? The Chief of Defense of Asia, in terms of position, belongs to one of the dozens of most important people on the planet! Now he talked to himself without any arrogance, which made Ling Xiangming a little flattered.

The same is true for Ling An, and it is understandable that Ling Zhiyuan's retirement treatment has been reduced.

The treatment of the soldiers of the Honorable Army after retirement is very, very good, in addition to a large monthly allowance, they also enjoy all the public services of the Federation for free.

The only drawback is that the treatment of family members is correspondingly reduced...... Wait a minute!

Thinking of this, Ling An was suddenly shocked.

If this is the case, most of the medical subsidies enjoyed by Ling Xuan for the families of the Glorious Soldiers on duty will also be reduced, and the follow-up treatment will ......

"I also know about your family's situation, if Zhiyuan retires, although his personal treatment will be improved, it should not be able to make up for the medical expenses currently reimbursed by your family." Chief Zhou Yang really said.

Ling Xiangming was silent.

The money spent on Ling Xuan's treatment every month is actually the cap on the medical security for the families of the Glorious Army during the epidemic.

After Ling Zhiyuan retired, according to the regulations, this money can only be reimbursed for his personal medical treatment. Other family members are only entitled to half of the original benefits.

This is not the Federation's ruthlessness, but the annual reimbursement of all the families of the Honorable Army around the world is not a small amount, and this subsidy was originally intended to eliminate the worries of serving soldiers.

"We understand." Half a ring, Ling Zhiyuan said.

Although still joyful, there was a slight change in his tone.

Pressure.

"Strictly speaking, Zhiyuan was also injured when we helped us complete the task, so please rest assured, I will apply with the above to maintain the treatment of your family, but it is really not possible, I will personally fund it and fill it in for you."

Chief Zhou Yang obviously knew about the situation in Ling An's family and knew what the reduction in medical subsidies meant to their family.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness, if the application is not successful, then forget it." Originally, Ling Xiangming wanted to refuse, but after thinking about Ling Xuan's huge medical expenses every month, he didn't say anything about his refusal.

"Well, after Zhiyuan wakes up, he still needs your family to comfort him, I read his details, this kid ...... It may be very sad. Mr. Zhou Yang sighed.

"By the way, Mr. Ling, there are some things I want to say to Ling An alone." Chief Zhou Yang looked at Ling Xiangming.

Ling Xiangming was stunned for a moment and looked at his son.

Ling An nodded, and Ling Xiangming stood up and opened the door and walked out, leaving the space for them.

"Chief Zhou Yang, what do you want to tell me?" Ling An asked suspiciously.

"Two things." Chief Zhou Yang smiled lightly.

"Ling An, when you were at the scene before, did you see it?"

Ling An's heart moved, but his expression did not move on the surface, and he asked:

"What do you see?"

"Demons." Chief Zhou Yang spit out these two words from his mouth.

Demon?

Ling An was stunned.

Isn't that monster alien?

Speaking of which, it looks like a bat's wings and dark red skin, which really resembles the image of a demon...... Wait, isn't it, the so-called alien races and demons are a thing?

"Chief Zhou Yang, isn't that guy an alien?" Ling An couldn't help but ask.

"It's just a kind of alien race, that guy is the ruler of the alien race, and he ranks seventh among the entire alien race, and is also called the seventh by the alien race, otherwise do you think that no alien race can escape from Mars for so many years, and any alien race can break the restriction and come to the earth?"

When President Zhou Yang talked about aliens, he was no longer as gentle as before.

It seems that the restrictions on Mars should not have been broken...... Ling Anxin thought.

Honestly, seeing the ...... When the demon came, in addition to the initial shock, he soon worried about whether the human fortress on Mars had been attacked by aliens.

However, it seems that the situation is not as optimistic as some politicians in the Federation promote!
