Chapter 63: The Ward Awakens
"Drip ...... Drip...... Drip ......"
The equipment in the ward follows the change of the indicator light, making a regular sound, and the data displayed on the screen is also slowly swiping through, indicating that the patient's current condition is stable.
A sore ache came from all sides, waking Valk from his sleep, and he opened his eyes, looked at the pale blue ceiling above him, and tried to sit up, but the pain in his lower back and abdomen made him give up on the idea for now.
"Lie down first, don't try to exert yourself." A slightly younger voice came from the side, and Valker turned his gaze to the side.
A young male physician was standing beside him, carefully observing the data on the instrument, and holding an electronic record board in his hand, jotting down some key information.
When he was done observing and recording, he put the clipboard away and approached for questioning.
"This is the hospital department of Edus Academy, how do you feel now?" He reveals the silver sage plaque on his white coat.
Nameplate: Partridge Francaty, Light Feather Sequence 6, Senior Recovery Attending Physician
As the best physician in Edus Academy, even though he has been responsible for the physical examinations of many students, this Valker student's physical fitness is extremely rare and strong.
"Soreness all over, especially in the lower back and abdomen." Valker is honest about his feelings.
"Of course, this is the first time I've seen a brave boy like you who directly resists lightsaber piercing." Partridge had a funny look on his face.
"Remember, if you see a murder weapon like a lightsaber in the future, stay away, it's best to kill it remotely."
"Is there no way to use a lightsaber in close combat?" Valk asked, puzzled.
"Of course there is, and there are many ways, but it is not recommended."
"It's most common to wear high-strength armor, but it's generally two levels higher than a lightsaber to effectively resist the most powerful punctures."
"For example, some of the firm's members are equipped with a gold-level lightsaber, which requires a military color crystal-level mecha to completely ignore its damage."
"Most people can't do this kind of condition, and in practice, it's more common to rely on dodging and confrontation with the same kind."
"It's the person who holds the lightsaber after all, and if it's a person, there will be flaws, his moves, his speed, his angle, and so on."
"In addition, the lightsaber is also a relatively rough weapon, which consumes a lot of energy, even if it is a transcendent in sequence 5, he can't fight for a few minutes with a rushing lightsaber, and his magic power is consumed in this area, and other aspects are naturally weak, if you can find a flaw, or make up for it with other advantages, you can easily defeat the other party."
"In the end, it's the same kind of confrontation, since the other party is using lightsabers, it doesn't make sense that we don't need to, as long as you play better, of course, you can also abuse the other party."
"These are the three common countermeasures, the best strategy is to resist with excellent armor, the middle strategy is to rely on skills to attack his weak points, and the next strategy is to fight against the same kind, and life and death are divided under the lightsaber."
"I see, thank you, teacher." Valk thought for a moment and seemed to really listen.
Seeing that he still had the heart to study, Partridge shook his head, not knowing whether to praise him or say that he had a good attitude.
"You take care of your injuries first, you don't have to be in such a hurry to study, by the way, what do you want to eat at noon today, I'll help you order."
"What to eat and this, isn't it generally prescribed by a doctor?" Valk was a little surprised, he had been to the hospital many times before, and each time the doctor told him what to eat and what not to eat.
"That's what quacks do, and they're just trying to save trouble and avoid trouble, so they let patients eat a fixed meal."
"But in my case, I think you can eat something you like, keep a good mood, and it will be more helpful for treatment, as long as you don't eat too much, I think it's OK."
"I see, then give me a honey-glazed chicken leg set."
"Oh, this is quite common, honey and meat are also mild, just to replenish the body, it seems that you are quite skilled." The physician picks up the personal terminal and orders a quick meal, then sets it aside.
"While I'm waiting for lunch to come,Can you tell me what happened at the time?,Although my current job is a doctor.,But it's also a teacher in the school park.,I want to know the specific cause and process.。
"Here's how it is......" Valk began to recount the events of that day, many dusty memories coming back to his mind.
……
Ten years ago, on the outskirts of Black Strontium in the North Kowloon District.
The cold whistling woke him up, the snow fell, and the sky was forever gray.
Breaking away from his old blanket, Valker looked around and found himself in an abandoned garbage dump, standing up slightly, he looked at his hands that were red and swollen from the cold, a little helpless and sad.
'Abandoned again......'
This is not the first time, he has never seen his father's appearance, when he was a child, his mother took him for a while, she disliked him for dragging herself, and then left with another man.
And then who adopted him, probably his grandfather, the old man who was hunched over his waist fed him simple food, and finally fed him.
However, his grandfather also had a difficult life, and he could not be fed every time, and hunger always accompanied his life.
He followed the old man and lived in a small house in the suburbs, and the old man usually made a living by picking up garbage, and supported him for a few years, and then his body became more and more difficult to move because of his age, so he entrusted him to one of his nephews, who later died of old age and illness in the house.
After the old man's death, the family of the 'nephew', who was in his forties, could not bear this strange looking like a beast anymore, and on a winter night, after feeding him medicine to sleep in, they threw him dozens of kilometers away in the suburbs.
Valc, who had long sensed that the family did not like him, was not surprised, but was just thinking about what he could get to eat today.
He stood up in an old blanket, walked around the countryside and searched for it, digging through the ruins of all kinds of snowflakes to find something to use, and then he had more and more things draped over him, although they were much heavier, but at least they were not so cold.
After walking aimlessly along the road for a long time, he found a red pavilion on the side of the road, standing alone in the wilderness, with intact network terminals and communication equipment inside.
He tried to open the pavilion, but only refused.
[Identity monitoring failed, no resident ID chip found, please enter your own Federal Resident Number verification ......]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
……
After several attempts, he walked away disheartened, only occasionally turning his head to look at the intact pavilion in the wilderness.
Many years later, he learned that as long as he passed the identity verification, he could enter the pavilion, feel the warmth, no longer be disturbed by the cold wind, obtain basic starch protein emergency food, and connect with the hovercar that automatically paraded to the city where humans gathered.
But none of this had anything to do with him at that time, and he could only continue to wander in the wilderness.
……
After walking for some reason, he finally found a small town where humans gathered, with an estimated fifty households, small shops and supermarkets.
He tries to get closer, but is quickly spotted by surveillance around the town, and then chased away by the Self-Discipline Unit.
These T6-level self-regulatory units, while not having the power to enforce the law and not be able to use violence against humans, will sound loud alarms to attract the attention of the townspeople, which often leads to the desert and flee.
In this way, it was not until two days later that he found the blind spot around the town, sneaked in at night, and rummaged through some food.
He was so happy to finally survive and eat those half-spoiled foods, and that experience he still remembers.
He sneaked around in this town for two days, but he was still discovered by the townspeople, but fortunately, the townspeople only drove him away and did not send him to the security office, probably because he was also troublesome.
Leaving the town, he began to wander again, and so on and so forth, until one day he finally fainted in the wild, his body gradually became cold, and all thoughts slowly stopped.
