Chapter 2521: Chapter 2513: The Angler Injured
Ninth Brother was quite familiar with the hospital’s owner and knew their background. He went over to assess the situation and immediately decided to buy it.
Would buying it definitely come in handy? He wasn’t sure, but... what if it was needed?
Actually, Ninth Brother intended to reduce some of the supplies he held. If no one was forcibly buying them, he had plenty of supplies on hand, but he wouldn’t just store them unused because that would be the greatest waste of wealth—the remaining supplies were enough for his own use.
In any case, it proved that his foresight was correct. The mysterious person was willing to set aside some supplies for him again.
The medicines and food that Feng Jun controlled were not actually a lot. Last time, he took in 800,000 tons of goods and gave Ninth Brother only 240,000 tons, leaving him with just 560,000 tons.
This time, he intended to set aside 160,000 tons of supplies and exchange everything else for energy stones: Do you want to fight? I support you!
So he first asked for the hospital’s address and then said, "I’ll leave you another batch of supplies, but remember, this isn’t free of charge. Consider it a deposit for the limb regeneration drug production line."
"Thank you for your trust, sir," Ninth Brother was extremely excited. With the backing of the Chen Clan Association, he was considered a prominent figure in Xiajing City, but he wasn’t really qualified to handle such a big transaction. "I absolutely won’t let you down."
Feng Jun waved his hand, seeming indifferent, "Survive this war first; it’s too early to talk about anything else."
At his words, Ninth Brother realized: was this person finding a reason to support Xiajing?
It wasn’t surprising he thought that because when he bought the hospital, he had similar thoughts.
But he wouldn’t let the other party be disappointed, "If something happens to me, sir, you can go to the president of the clan association. He’ll honor it."
Feng Jun didn’t bother to respond to that and instead asked another question, "That Qin Family shelter, it could actually store some supplies."
"You’ll have to negotiate that with Sister Qin," Ninth Brother’s expression turned not-so-good, "because of some earlier issues, I’m not on good terms with her brother-in-law, so I don’t want to make decisions for her anymore."
Feng Jun glanced at him and calmly asked, "So you’re not planning to share what we leave here this time with her, either?"
"I can share it with her," Ninth Brother answered straightforwardly, "Sister Qin fronted me some funds at the start, and I’m someone who knows gratitude, but her management has problems... I won’t make decisions for her anymore."
Feng Jun nodded thoughtfully, "That’s fine, with a big enemy before us, let’s put those trivial matters aside and focus on external threats."
Ninth Brother nodded and solemnly replied, "I will heed your instructions, sir, I won’t bicker with them... no time for that."
That night, Feng Jun arrived at the hospital. The surface part of the hospital had been mostly destroyed, but starting from the first basement level, many rooms were still intact, and the second and third basement levels had a higher integrity rate.
In these rooms, there were not only over twenty staff members remaining but also seventy or eighty patients.
However, these patients weren’t injured; they seemed to be patients in the true sense, and the medicines for treatment probably weren’t for wounds.
After listening for a while, Feng Jun learned that these people had already been transferred to another hospital, but the number of wounded was truly overwhelming. So they voluntarily applied to be diverted to this hospital to free up space for the injured warriors.
Such a Human Race... should be invincible, right?
Feng Jun didn’t dwell on it too long and took the elevator directly down to the three deep basements.
The basement was indeed impressive; Feng Jun even felt it was like an indoor sports stadium with not less than a million cubic meters of space.
He filled the three basements completely and didn’t rush to contact Ninth Brother. It wasn’t until midnight the next day that he sent a notification and then left on his own.
Ninth Brother, appearing somewhat rough, was actually quite perceptive. Knowing the other party might be using methods like "Underground Leap," he would not recklessly unmask it. After receiving the notification, he first sent out a string of strange instructions using his communication wristband.
An hour later, he met with Sister Qin at the hospital.
Sister Qin was full of apologies, "I’m truly sorry, Ninth Brother, I’ve already locked that guy at home. Initially, I wanted to break his leg, but unfortunately... medical supplies for injuries are too precious now."
"No need for formalities, I’m not doing this to save face for you," Ninth Brother spoke without expression as they took the elevator, "it’s those people who want to look after you, but your shelter’s space won’t be needed for now."
"Then it won’t be needed; I suspect they have spies there as well," Sister Qin replied nonchalantly. But in the next moment, she was taken aback, "So many energy stones... truly impressive. What did you exchange for them this time?"
"You don’t need to ask about that," Ninth Brother replied expressionlessly, "By the way... who was it that broke into the Xiajing Military Department at night?"
"Who else do you think it could be?" Sister Qin retorted, then hesitated before adding, "It’s said that the Shoe Cultist also got themselves killed by them. Even the military head pounded the table, but they just can’t find anyone."
"Tch," Ninth Brother snorted disdainfully, "With that energy, catching two Shoe Cultists would count, why bother them, do they think the Human Race has too much help?"
Sister Qin pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn’t you ask them if they could take a few people away?"
"I’m afraid that if I ask that, they might just kill me," Ninth Brother replied blandly, "I advise you not to think too much."
Sister Qin remained silent for a long time, then sighed heavily, "Children are always innocent!"
Even though Feng Jun had completed the delivery, he continuously sensed their reactions secretly, initially hoping to hear some sort of praise. At this point, he finally shook his head and quietly left.
The Human Race really has a hard time; this time, even without rewards, he accepted it.
However, just as he was leaving, a massive fluctuation coming from outer space was felt by him even on the planet: Spiritual Energy and pressure erupted recklessly.
This explosion lasted for quite a while, a full thirty seconds, and alarms throughout the city went off one after another. At this moment, the pitch-black, tranquil night suddenly became agitated.
Feng Jun flickered to the suburbs, took out a radio and turned it on. He wanted to know how people here viewed these fluctuations.
Evidently, he overestimated the information transmission speed of this human society; several channels were night programs. It took a full fifteen minutes before the local news channel started broadcasting, "The energy fluctuations just now originated from the Insect Race gathering area, with energy levels higher than the Insect Race’s control ability. It can be confirmed that it is not the energy aura of the Insect Race."
"Our station will continue to follow up on the mysterious energy news, thank you to all listeners for tuning in..."
"Such a big commotion, it’s probably hard to cover it up, right?" Feng Jun silently muttered; at this moment, he resented his own weakness a bit, not being able to participate in such a great battle is one thing, but he even lacked the ability to observe!
After another day and night, he finally awaited the arrival of Han Hai True Sage, together with the arrival of the Old Fisherman.
Upon meeting, Han Hai straightforwardly stated, "The Old Fisherman needs to rest at the passage entrance for a while, let the two sects switch to another True Sage."
"I’m clearly fine," the Old Fisherman muttered, but ultimately did not insist.
To prevent the Old Fisherman from pulling any tricks, Han Hai True Sage actually escorted him, allowing Feng Jun to take them both back.
Later, Feng Jun learned that indeed, there were three Inset Race bugs at the Emergence Stage. When four Human Race True Sages ambushed two Emergence bugs, a third one rushed out to encircle the Old Fisherman.
Han Hai True Sage was responsible for commanding the situation and should have dealt with it, but the Old Fisherman unfortunately blocked his attack route.
Within this instant, the pressure on the Old Fisherman increased drastically. By the time Han Hai intervened, the third Emergence bug decisively chose Self-Detonation, leaving the Old Fisherman to suffer greatly.
The energy fluctuations felt on Xingzheng Star came from this bug’s Self-Detonation and the True Sage’s defense.
As for the specific details, Han Hai True Sage wasn’t keen to elaborate, and the Old Fisherman naturally wouldn’t speak of it.
Feng Jun was concerned about whether the Tianqin cultivators had been exposed; Han Hai straightforwardly replied, "Certainly exposed on the Insect Race side. As for the Human Race... I masked it a bit, though it might not be effective, but does it really matter?"
So, renowned individuals are different; he simply didn’t care about the attitude of the Human Race of this world.
Feng Jun escorted the two to the passage entrance on the Tianqin side; the Old Fisherman, aiming to save face, didn’t mention his injuries, simply stating that he had gained substantial rewards in front-line combat and needed to retreat to seclusion for digestion, also recommending Xiaotong True Sage of Yuangang Sect to proceed to the front line.
Xiaotong True Sage was one of the two initial participants from Yuangang Sect, and now another True Sage from Yuangang has arrived, allowing him to free up to join the battle.
Inevitably, Feng Jun once again ferried these two to the front line, directly landing on Xingzheng Star.
Upon landing, Xiaotong sensed the surroundings, then asked in a deep voice, "Friend Han Hai, is Friend Old Fisherman injured?"
"I don’t know," Han Hai answered concisely, "You can ask the other True Sages; I’m not aware."
Later, Feng Jun learned that the Old Fisherman was hurt, and the others hadn’t even noticed; only Han Hai was certain enough to drag him away for healing—the other True Sages were completely in the dark.
Xiaotong was relatively familiar with the Old Fisherman, guessed this fact, and sensed before exclaiming in surprise, "Why is even the Wei family’s True Sage here... that’s Wei Sancai, isn’t it?"
"I came in with him for a visit," Han Hai True Sage took responsibility, "We’ll leave now!"
"I didn’t mean that," Xiaotong True Sage was easier to talk to than the Old Fisherman; indeed, he was responsible for coordinating and dispatching from the rear, acutely aware of the Tianqin cultivators’ situation in the Insect World—lacking manpower, especially top-tier experts!
The two sects fervently wished to hold dominant power over this world, yet in reality, they simply couldn’t manage the Insect World; especially as it was the establishment phase, elite experts were desperately needed to hold the fort.
