Chapter 2553: Chapter 2545: Investment

The night-vision insects signaled, and more than twenty insects rushed down, launching an attack on the observation post.

It must be pointed out that the observation of the hospital by the post was not a military operation. There was no requirement such as "better to be killed than to voluntarily expose." Their ambush was merely to verify information and strive to obtain some clues.

Since the Insect Race initiated an attack, it was inevitable to activate defenses. How could Federation Soldiers face insects and not resist?

However, as soon as they resisted, the hospital guards were dumbfounded, "What the hell, does this mean there are so many people hidden nearby?"

The person in charge of these guards was also a disciple of the Chen Family — this was almost inevitable. He had some understanding of Chen Jiu’s matters, so he was not particularly surprised to see these people appear outside.

He issued an order, "Coordinate to attack the insects, but if these people insist on not leaving, we also need to conserve ammunition."

The people at the observation post were almost furious, "We are directly affiliated with the military department... and you still refuse to give full support?"

"Directly affiliated with the military department, then go back to the military department," the person in charge snorted coldly, "What are you doing hiding here with us?"

The observation post initially intended to be discreet, but since they were discovered, there’s no need to hide anymore, "This is a military department task. You are not qualified to inquire. Now we demand you provide your strongest firepower to support us,"

"Sorry, our energy blocks are limited!" The person in charge replied without hesitation, "Will you reimburse these costs?"

The military would not follow such a trend, "Won’t kill insects if you aren’t reimbursed? Is this... a refusal of a military department request?"

"Such a big hat," the person in charge sneered, "I don’t know what task the military department has, but because you’re hiding near the hospital, you’ve attracted insects, putting great pressure on the hospital’s defense... this is intentional, right?"

"I’ve told you it’s a task," the observation post replied coldly, "Fully open fire, this is an order!"

"Don’t even think about it!" The person in charge flatly refused.

The priority of the Wartime Management Regulations is very high, but it’s not without reason, and he has grounds to refuse, "You’ve attracted insects, asking us to fully open fire, but our energy stones are insufficient... Is the military department planning to kill with a borrowed knife?"

"It must be because of Ninth Sister-in-law," a guard shouted loudly, "She didn’t give face to the military yesterday, so they want to destroy the hospital."

The observation post was so angry they wanted to vomit blood, could the Xiajing military really be so short-sighted?

They initially thought that due to the insects’ surprise attack, their actions could now be revealed directly — our previous ambushes couldn’t be disclosed, now that you know, we can take advantage of the situation to make our actions justifiable.

But if the other party thinks this way, it becomes very difficult to be aboveboard, the military will face trouble from insects here in the future, and it’s fortunate if the hospital doesn’t drag its feet.

In fact, both parties are well aware, Chen Jiu’s people would never accept surveillance by the military here.

No matter what, this time Chen Jiu’s people took action and helped withstand the insect attack.

However, the insects soon organized a second wave of attack, this time involving nearly a hundred insects.

And in contrast, the hospital guards fired only a few shots at the insects, forcing some insects to turn their attention to the hospital, which then faced concentrated fire from the guards — thinking we are easy targets?

The observation post was furious, "Are you... letting us die without rescue, have you become partners with the insects?"

"Then we’re partners with the insects," the guard in charge sneered, "saves you leading insects here on purpose."

Without the hospital guards’ support, the ten observation posts couldn’t withstand the siege of nearly a hundred insects, only able to band together in defense while calling for military department support.

Support arrived quickly, but the military already had two people killed and three severely injured, with few reinforcements available, they swiftly left after retrieving their comrades — insect communication is fast, if they move too slowly, the squad would be stuck.

Still, one severely injured personnel was left at the hospital, this was a helpless choice — this person could barely move, without immediate treatment, he would soon die.

Once they left, the hospital guards immediately began checking nearby surveillance, within ten minutes, nearly everything was found.

Meanwhile, the insects launched two more attacks, realizing that their targets had retreated, they would need to attack the strong fortress if they wanted to continue the assault, finally shifting their aim.

Suddenly, Feng Jun appeared nearby, no one noticed how he arrived.

When he reached the negative fourth level, he found Chen Jiu awake, and his condition much improved compared to yesterday.

Upon seeing him, Ninth Brother greeted him proactively from the recovery cabin, "Greetings... those bastards at the door, too deceiving."

"Doesn’t matter," Feng Jun waved his hand, expressing indifferently, "I said our medical methods far surpass yours, convinced?"

"Convinced, of course convinced," Ninth Brother truly had no objections, "I’m feeling much better today."

"Let me give you another shot, and then you’ll understand what it means to be truly convinced," Feng Jun pulled out the syringe.

After the injection was complete, he put away all items that might reveal his identity, when Ninth Brother spoke up, "May I ask, with your advanced technology, can my appearance be restored to normal?"

His facial and chest injuries were really severe. Even if the toxins were cleared, with the technological level of this world, recovering wouldn’t be difficult, but restoring him to his original appearance would be very challenging.

Some might say, even the Stick Universe Country in the Earth Realm can handle such minor surgeries, yet here it’s not possible?

It truly isn’t possible, cosmetic surgery does not equate to returning to normal—without even the courage to press the tip of their nose, would you call that normal?

Strictly speaking, the Federation has completely solved the issue of tissue hyperplasia in wounds—something the Earth Realm won’t achieve in a hundred years—unless Feng Jun provides technical support.

Simply put, with the toxins cleared, Chen Jiu’s face and chest can be nicely restored, but to become exactly like before the injuries, it’s basically impossible, and that’s assuming one is willing to pay the price.

Feng Jun was momentarily stunned, then he laughed, "Restoring to normal is no problem, but... you can’t afford it. Do looks really matter that much to a grown man?"

Ninth Brother also laughed, but with his current appearance... his smile looked terrifying, "Actually, I don’t really care about appearance, but I want to buy that production line... for limb regeneration, so I’d better show some strength."

There were only three people in the ward now: him, Feng Jun, and Shuanzi. Talking about limb regeneration here wasn’t a concern.

"Show strength?" Feng Jun furrowed his brow, then instantly realized, "You mean to showcase my ability to repair the body?"

"Exactly, that’s what I mean," Ninth Brother answered without hesitation, "Having strength facilitates negotiations, otherwise the other party might quote sky-high prices... even bargaining would be tough."

"Are you mistaken," Feng Jun couldn’t help but laugh, "In your view, repairing the body might seem easier, but the methods I use to help you repair your body are far more expensive than limb regeneration."

Far more expensive? Ninth Brother wasn’t quite sure of this statement, as his level of education wasn’t high. In his impression, regenerating limbs was surely harder than repairing the body, but online search results told him: perfectly repairing the body is indeed more challenging.

Anyway, he chose to believe it, "If you fix my face, the chances of success are much higher."

Feng Jun thought about it and replied, "You should focus on healing first, the production line issue... isn’t urgent."

He truly wasn’t in a hurry, besides ordering one here, He Runxian ordered three there. Whichever family comes up with a production line, he’d buy it—after all, given the Earth Realm’s needs, not just four lines, even eight lines wouldn’t be enough.

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t betting on which family had better channels, just casting a wide net, and as long as there were returns, it’d be fine—had he not arrived in time, if Chen Jiu had died, the investments here would’ve been just bubbles.

But even bubbles weren’t a concern; he didn’t care about them. This thinking resembles an investment company in the Earth Realm—I believe in your project, so I invested.

As for whether the project can develop, it’s not solely a matter of effort. Many factors can potentially impact it.

So Feng Jun’s idea was to invest in several firms, accepting failure. If all succeeded, there’d be no panic; with the Earth Realm’s capacity, a dozen production lines could be easily absorbed.

He truly wasn’t in a hurry, but Chen Jiu was eager; he wanted to make a comeback based on that production line.

Previously, he thought he was doomed, so he hadn’t given it much thought. Now that he’s alive, the fact Feng Jun saved him clearly demonstrated that Feng Jun indeed possessed advanced medical capabilities—it’s not that it couldn’t be done, just that it costs more.

Nonetheless, he had no intention of exploiting Feng Jun, nor did he have the guts to do so, so he could only explain, "Those people are very arrogant. If we don’t show some unique skills, it’ll be hard to operate."

Feng Jun glanced at him lightly, "No boasting, all my unique skills, none of you can learn..."

"I’m just trying to increase the possibility of bringing it in," Ninth Brother helplessly sighed; he could explain more, but at this point, explanation becomes disguise; the more he says, the more mistakes he makes, "I’m trying hard to complete this project, but the pressure is really immense."

"If I intended to fool you, there’d be no pressure, but I truly don’t want to fool you."

Fool me? Feng Jun smiled but was disinclined to speak hurtful words, "Your intuition is quite good. Have a nice recovery, I’m leaving now."

"Leaving?" Ninth Brother sprang up from the repair fluid, even with a face like a biochemical crisis, "You’re leaving?"

"Yes, I’m leaving. Are you trying to stop me?"

"I don’t have that thought," Chen Jiu shook his head frantically, stop you... am I insane?

"Yet you came to Xiajing... not just for my insignificant life, right?"
