After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately
Chapter 348: Kill first and tell later
The sea was stormy again, with strong winds, heavy rains, and surging waves. Xia Ji's ship stopped and started for two days and finally had a moment of respite, but because of the strong winds and waves, it inevitably deviated from its course.
The wind and waves seemed to be dying out, and the rain was still falling. Just as the crew was about to set sail again, they suddenly spotted a black spot on the sea ahead, being pushed towards them by the waves.
After focusing on observation, they found that it was a person, and they didn't know whether he was dead or alive. The crew asked their teammates to report to the superiors to see whether they should carry out a rescue.
Xia Ji went to the cockpit to observe the situation. The man was wearing a somewhat tattered life jacket and his black clothes were swaying in the wind and waves, so it was difficult to observe his appearance clearly.
But as the distance got closer and he saw the vague shape of the clothes, Xia Ji's heart suddenly twitched and he immediately ordered a rescue.
When he saw clearly that the person being salvaged was Li Ke, Xia Ji's hands shook uncontrollably. The woman's condition was very bad now. If she moved casually, blood would flow out of her ears and nose.
Her skin was cold and pale, without a trace of blood. Everyone carefully placed her on a stretcher and carried her to the emergency room.
Xia Ji waited outside the emergency room for a long time before the doctor came out. He asked anxiously, "How is she? Is she awake?"
The doctor shook his head: "The spleen is ruptured in different ways, three ribs are broken, and the whole body is covered with bruises from the impact. The injuries are extremely serious."
Xia Ji felt his heart palpitating and in pain when he heard this. He asked anxiously, "What is the situation now? Can it be saved? Can it be saved?!"
The doctor glanced at Xia Ji. Commander Xia was too concerned about this woman, so he stopped keeping her in suspense and said admiringly, "It's also because her physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people. It's a miracle that she can still breathe in such cold weather and with such serious injuries. Don't worry, although her injuries are serious, her condition has stabilized for now. She should be almost healed after another month or two of rest."
Xia Ji felt the tightness in his heart ease up a little, and he relaxed his brows and said, "That's good, just keep her stable. When will she wake up?"
Doctor: "It's hard to say. Maybe she will wake up later, maybe tomorrow. In her current condition, it's better for her to sleep. She will be in pain when she wakes up."
Xia Ji: "Don't you have painkillers?"
The doctor rolled his eyes at him and said, "Yes, but you can't use it all the time. Wait."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ji did not ask any more questions. When he saw someone being pushed out of the emergency room, he hurried forward to check.
The doctor looked at him and shook his head. It was novel to see the old tree bloom, but he could say that he had gained a lot today.
With the blood and hair samples in his pocket, the doctor walked towards his work laboratory. The woman's injuries were far more horrific than he had described, but she managed to survive.
The doctor also knew that many people's bodies had changed, and they had collected a lot of blood samples for research. Li Ke's was the first, and the doctor was very curious about her physical condition.
Li Ke lay in bed for more than a week, sleeping and waking up, before he finally recovered some of his spirit. Due to the frequent winds and waves, their speed on the sea was not very fast.
During this period, Xia Ji and Xia Yu were frequent visitors to her bedside. Most of the time, they took care of her meals, talked to her, and stayed with her quietly for a while.
Half a month later, the ship finally arrived at the underwater aircraft carrier base. Xia Ji sent the light energy ore in his hand to the aircraft carrier research laboratory for composition research.
Li Ke can now get out of bed and move around, and occasionally do some light exercises. Her attending physician is very concerned about her physical condition and often comes to check on her and ask about her recovery progress.
Li Ke could see an inexplicable excitement in his eyes, but she didn't care too much. The space wanted more light energy ore, and Li Ke also felt the recent changes in the space.
Just a piece the size of a fingernail seems to have brought a breath of fresh vitality to this space that has remained unchanged for many years.
This vitality is not only beneficial to the space, it also seems to be able to feed back to her body, but she has been a seriously injured patient recently and can only suppress these feelings.
After witnessing some of the magic of the light energy mine, the captain's expression remained as steady as a mountain, but the changes in his eyes revealed his inner unrest.
"This thing is indeed precious. If there are more energy mines like this, our immigration plan will be able to proceed faster and more smoothly." The captain's low voice sounded.
Xia Ji: "Can you study it thoroughly within a week? I feel like this thing has too much energy, and there should be big problems with its stability."
Captain: "Wait. You don't have to understand it thoroughly. As long as you know its key properties, uses and value, that's enough."
Xia Ji nodded. At this point, he was no longer the supreme commander.
The captain suddenly asked again: "I heard that Li Ke was seriously injured. How is his condition now?"
Xia Ji: "She has just recovered a little, but she still needs to continue recuperating. Her injuries are too severe, and it is already very difficult for her to survive."
Xia Ji had some selfish thoughts. Li Ke's physical condition was actually better than he thought. But even so, Xia Ji felt that with her current physical condition, she was not suitable to participate in the next light energy mine mission.
"Then let her rest well and get well as soon as possible. Also, tell her that I took some of her hair tissue on behalf of an old friend, and the tissue has been sent back."
Xia Ji was slightly startled and then immediately asked, "Is it Chief Mo? Should we ask Li Ke for his opinion on this matter first?"
The captain didn't look at Xia Ji: "The things have been sent out, you decide how to tell her. I see you have a good relationship, so I'll leave this matter to you."
With just this little bit of tissue, his entire fleet could get half a year's supply of materials from the Mo family. He had no way of refusing such a deal, so he could only act first and report later.
Xia Ji took a deep breath. Looking at the captain's expression, he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion. He only thought about it for a moment and knew that the person who did it was the military doctor.
Back in their activity area, Li Ke was sitting in the training room, watching Xia Yu and the others train, occasionally getting up and joining them in doing some slow boxing. When Xia Ji saw this, his brows furrowed in disapproval.
He came to Li Ke's side and said, "You need to rest and recuperate. I think you are too impatient."
Li Ke stopped and looked at Xia Ji's expression. He suddenly asked, "Don't you want me to recover too quickly? Why? Don't you want me to participate in the mission?"
Xia Ji: "The light energy mine is too dangerous. The laboratory has not yet developed protective equipment that can completely suppress it. Your body still needs time to recover. You are no longer suitable for this mission."
Li Ke: "When does the mission start?"
Xia Ji thought for a moment and said, "It will take at least half a month at the earliest and at most a month at the latest. No matter how healthy you are, you will need to rest for another two months. You will not be able to participate in this mission."
Li Ke met Xia Ji's gaze and said, "Then wait a little longer. I think Commander Xia is not the only one who suggested that I participate in this mission."
Xia Ji's breath was choked: "You are a person who can't be more obedient. Weren't you unwilling before?"
Li Ke said nonchalantly: "Since we are here, it would be nice to see it for ourselves."
Xia Ji was so angry that he laughed: "What do you mean you're already here? Do you know that there is a nuclear submarine base near the mine? The elites there are no worse than us. In your current state, you'll die in vain if you go there!"
Li Ke: "Commander Xia, I will do my best. Please be dedicated to the public and don't be affected by selfish motives."
Xia Ji's expression froze for a moment, and he sighed, "Li Ke, you have died once, so you should know how to cherish your life. I may have some selfish motives, but even if it were someone else, I would say the same thing."
Li Ke smiled: "Thank you, I understand, you are a good commander."
Xia Ji's heart moved. Li Ke didn't smile this kind of relaxed smile often. He seized the opportunity and said, "Captain Mo asked us to take a few strands of your hair and send them back. Your condition was very critical at the time, so we took some samples and sent them back on our own."
Li Ke put away the smile on her face. Seeing Xia Ji's expression getting nervous, she said with some relief: "Whatever, it doesn't matter."
Xia Ji looked at the indifference in Li Ke's eyes and said, "Aren't you curious about who your biological father is? Your mother may not be qualified, but if Captain Mo Ji is your father, then he must be a good father. I can feel it."
Li Ke didn't say anything. He had expectations before, but he was more afraid that after his expectations came true, he would not be able to adapt and would not know how to accept it. Over time, it would be best to let it go.
Mo Qing has Mo Baoer and Mo Cheng by her side, he doesn't need her. She has her dog by her side, and apart from her, she doesn't need anyone else.
