Chapter 203 Healing and Deciphering

Lin Che was the last to step out of the passage. As he leaned against the wall, his body slumped, and he coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Blood dripped from between his fingers, a glaringly red stain. Lu Zhao rushed over to support him, her voice urgent, "Hold on, don't fall asleep!"

The medical team was already waiting at the entrance to the safe zone. When Su Wanqing saw Lin Che's expression, she took off her jade bracelet with her left hand and sent him directly into the medical unit.

Several medical staff lifted Lin Che and secured him to the examination bed.

A series of warning beeps sounded, and the heart rate and blood pressure on the display screen were dropping.

The medical staff acted swiftly; some lifted his arm to check his veins, while others used portable scanners to scan his abdomen and chest cavity.

Soon, the attending physician frowned, pressed a few fingers on the screen of the testing device, and reported in a low voice, "Multiple internal organ hemorrhages, cardiopulmonary function decreased by 30%, large-scale necrosis of liver and pancreatic cells, the organs seem to be burned by high heat at the same time... Traditional drugs and plasma have not been very effective."

Su Wanqing approached the medical pod, switched the jade bracelet to its medical function, and retrieved the stored nano-emergency medicine.

She frowned as she watched the red alerts popping up on the screen.

"Push Lin Che into the intensive care unit."

A nurse quickly connected the medication to the tube, and the attending physician asked in a low voice, "Should we try the special treatment for your jade bracelet?"

Su Wanqing didn't hesitate: "Use it now." She held the jade bracelet, brought up the medical section, and linked the diagnosis to the instrument. After the jade bracelet recognized Lin Che's information, a series of interference codes appeared on the screen.

Su Wanqing repeatedly adjusted the parameters, but the instrument kept displaying the message: "Unknown abnormal energy exists in the target body, and the treatment plan is ineffective."

Lu Zhao stood to the side, his lips pressed tightly together, and whispered, "Could it be related to the night?"

Su Wanqing tried several different combinations of medications, but the data kept fluctuating wildly, and the rejection reaction was very obvious.

She directly entered the highest-level code, switching the medical pod to adaptive energy buffer mode, finally adjusting the jade bracelet's energy output to the lowest level, so that the nano-medicine and Lin Che's physical strength could barely reach a range where they no longer clashed violently.

The attending physician tried to administer the medication slowly, and the instrument detected that the values ​​had dropped, indicating that the condition had eased slightly.

The medical pod closed, leaving only two observation openings on the outside. Lin Che fell into a coma, his breathing intermittent.

The medical staff recorded data with grim faces, no one daring to utter a word. Lu Zhao's palms were sweaty; he touched his neck and looked at Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing didn't glance at Lin Che again, knowing that no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait.

She pulled Lu Zhao back to the main control console, locked the access control, and transferred the energy core data she had just collected to the desktop terminal.

Lu Zhao immediately began the data analysis process, importing the newly generated "memory bank" fragments from the jade bracelet into the decryption team.

As he debugged the program, he muttered, "The capacity of the jade bracelet has doubled, and some of the data inside is not in a conventional storage format at all."

Su Wanqing clicked into the "Memory" folder to debug the interface.

A moment later, the main screen flashed a frame, and a blurry holographic image was projected into the air.

In the scene, Su Wanqing stands in a dimly lit laboratory, arguing fiercely with a man with distinct features. The two of them talk without pausing.

Lu Zhao frowned. "That man... how come he looks almost exactly like Hugo?"

The audio was intermittent, but Su Wanqing's voice could still be faintly heard: "The seal is useless. The evolution path may be a trap. Wasn't the failure in the last round enough?"

The man retorted, "If the sealing plan isn't started, everything will collapse. S-7, you don't understand the responsibility on your shoulders."

Su Wanqing lowered her head and said to Lu Zhao, "Look at this time tag, it's a fragment of the document from the previous round."

Before she could finish speaking, the scene flashed by, leaving only keywords such as "core, reincarnation, evolution, and seal" jumping in the air.

Lu Zhao then pulled up the next piece of data. He asked, "Ye mentioned 'reincarnation' before, do you believe it?"

Su Wanqing didn't answer directly, but instead repeatedly stroked the jade bracelet, revealing her impatience.

She was more focused on a newly popped-up energy coordinate graph on the monitor.

After synchronizing with the second energy core, the jade bracelet actively generates a three-dimensional distribution map.

Su Wanqing swiped her hand across the jade bracelet, and seven glowing dots appeared on the screen.

She beckoned to Lu Zhao: "The coordinates of this third point are clearly written."

Lu Zhao zoomed in on the numbers and announced them aloud, "Five hundred meters directly below the fortress, the area code matches Xiaoling's description perfectly." "How could she possibly know all this?" Lu Zhao rubbed his hands, unusually puzzled.

At that moment, the intercom in the medical area crackled to life, and a nurse gave a brief report: "Xiaoling's temperature has returned to normal, but she is still not awake. The EEG parameters... are extremely close to the energy core fluctuations we detected before."

Su Wanqing pursed her lips into a straight line. She hurried to the medical pod and found Xiaoling still with her eyes closed, while the doctor adjusted the monitoring equipment.

Lu Zhao followed and asked in a low voice, "Will she wake up in a little while?"

The attending physician answered calmly: "Her current brainwave frequency is completely deviating from the standard human curve. Her basic vital signs are stable, but she seems to be resonating with some kind of energy source. We have never seen this phenomenon before."

Su Wanqing stood in front of the medical pod for half a minute, then placed the jade bracelet near the scanning area by Xiaoling's bedside.

The device automatically synchronized the parameters, and the brainwave frequency gradually became smoother, with the data on the display screen becoming similar to that of the second core.

Not long after, Xiaoling's eyelids twitched and she slowly opened them.

She sat up, her eyes still glazed over. When the doctor asked her what she could remember, she just shook her head. "I didn't think about anything after I fell asleep, I just felt that it was very bright outside."

Su Wanqing didn't say much, and placed her hand on the jade bracelet screen.

Xiaoling tilted her head and suddenly said, "I dreamed that there was a big iron gate down below, and in front of the iron gate was a blue light. There were symbols on the gate, just like this star."

She pointed to the jade bracelet. Su Wanqing paused, then turned to get paper and pen. Xiaoling slowly began to draw again, describing the shape and structure of the iron gate while marking the route little by little.

Lu Zhao took the route map she had drawn. "Have you been to the base of the fortress before?"

Xiaoling shook her head. "I've never been there, but I think I can get in... I still remember what the third star looks like."

She reached out and drew a complex energy core on the paper, marking the positions and colors of the connection interfaces and energy stripes, her tone brisk.

A nurse examined Xiaoling's EEG monitor and said, "Her brain frequencies are very strange right now, almost synchronized with the frequencies of the patterns she describes."

Su Wanqing whispered to the medical staff to continue monitoring, while glancing at Lu Zhao.

“Five hundred meters underground, an iron gate, symbols, blue energy,” Lu Zhao whispered quickly. “This is exactly the same location that the jade bracelet distribution map pointed to earlier.”

Su Wanqing rubbed the side of her palm, staring at the data stream. "Doctor, how is Lin Che now?"

The attending physician's feedback came through the walkie-talkie: "Lin Che's vital signs have stabilized, but his recovery is very slow. He must be completely isolated, as his internal energy is still out of control."

Su Wanqing placed the jade bracelet close to the data port of the medical pod and carefully reduced the energy output to minimize the rejection reaction from "Night".

The rejection index in the highly sensitive areas on Lin Che's body slowly decreased as the jade bracelet adjusted the temperature.

The medical team kept recording every abnormal value in Lin Che's treatment ward, and nurses would occasionally report the adjusted medication dosages.

Lu Zhao turned on the main control system and reviewed the previously decrypted footage: "What did you argue with that man about in the video?"

Su Wanqing thought for a moment, "It mainly concerns 'sealing' and 'evolution,' involving the base's true core research."

I strongly disagreed with launching any such plan at the time. She carefully examined the analysis script automatically saved by the jade bracelet, staring intently at the new distribution points on the screen.

At this moment, another set of reconstructed data appeared on the main screen, with the center coordinates fixed at 500 meters underground in the fortress.

“That’s right, the third core should be in the ‘deepest layer,’ just as Xiaoling said.”

Lu Zhao identified the coordinates, drew a route map, and recorded the path and entry/exit plan in the main control database.

The night shift medical staff pushed the door open again and reported Xiaoling's condition: "There is no danger at the moment. The values ​​are very strange, but her descriptive ability is completely normal. After waking up, she can remember to draw the route map herself, and there is basically no memory confusion."

When Xiaoling saw Su Wanqing, she carefully completed the appearance features of the third core and bent down to reorganize the symbols and guide lines on the paper.

The air in the medical area was quiet, with only the low hum of the monitoring equipment.

Su Wanqing said in a low voice, "All the data matches up. Now it's just a matter of the next step."

Lu Zhao didn't speak, but used his pen to trace three points on the map to confirm the route and the base structure.

The medical staff adjusted Lin Che's medication delivery system and reported, "He is still in a coma, but his condition has not worsened."

Xiaoling pasted pictures on the paper again, saying as she drew, "If you find the third star, be sure to take this puzzle box with you. It's best to go in through the front door..." Before she could finish speaking, the doctor told her to rest for a while longer.

Su Wanqing carefully put away the paper map and backed up the route on the jade bracelet, alerting herself that a new round of operations was about to begin.
