Lord: Starting with Summoning the Regular Army of Earth

Chapter 135 The Miracle of Life Brought by the Magic Circle

Five days later, a special medical team composed of the country's top geriatrics, intensive care and biomedical experts escorted Li Guodong's secret medical unit to the Zero Point Base, which was heavily guarded and sealed off.

Mr. Li was in a semi-comatose state, clinging to a sliver of life with the help of the most advanced life support system.

He was shockingly thin, lying on a specially designed suspended medical bed, like a leaf about to burn out. Only the occasional slight trembling of his eyelids showed that the sparks in the depths of this great mind had not yet been completely extinguished.

At this point, the connecting room, near the magic circle, has been separated into a separate area and transformed into an "observation and treatment room" according to the highest biosafety and medical monitoring standards.

It is filled with state-of-the-art vital sign monitoring instruments, emergency rescue equipment, and monitoring probes specially designed for the "sequencing effect" to monitor field strength distribution, bioenergy flow, and microscopic particles.

Feng Zhenhua, Director Zhao Ming, and the head of the medical team gathered here, their expressions solemn.

"Old Li's body is extremely weak, with multiple organ functions on the verge of collapse. Conventional medical methods are ineffective," Zhao Ming said in a low voice. "Our plan is to slowly move Old Li's medical bed into the connecting room under close monitoring, placing it in the area where the energy dissipation of the magic array is most stable. Initial observations indicate it is located about three meters between the center and the edge of the magic array, where the ordering effect is relatively significant and the field strength is relatively mild. We will proceed at the slowest possible speed, pausing every ten minutes to fully assess changes in vital signs. If any indicators deteriorate rapidly or become uncontrollable, we will immediately withdraw."

"We are simultaneously monitoring changes in field strength and potential energy convergence or disturbance around Mr. Li's body, as well as any microscopic biomolecular responses," Feng Zhenhua added. "This is not just treatment, but an unprecedented in vivo observation experiment. The data may have more long-term value than the results themselves."

Qin Weiguo and Li Wei stood behind the bulletproof glass of the observation room, silently watching the medical staff and researchers conduct the final checks.

The air was thick with the smells of disinfectant, the low hum of machinery, and an almost frozen tension.

"Let's begin," Qin Weiguo said in a deep voice into the communicator.

The specially designed medical bed started silently and slid very slowly along the clean track toward the heavy door of the connecting room.

The door opened silently, revealing a complex magic array on the floor inside, quietly rotating and flowing with invisible energy.

The light from the magic circle seemed softer than usual, as if silently welcoming this special visitor.

The bed, inch by inch, was entered.

The data on the monitoring screen began to refresh like a waterfall.

For the first few minutes, Mr. Li's vital signs remained almost unchanged, still weak and stable.

But as the medical bed fully enters the connecting room and comes to rest in its designated position, subtle changes begin to occur.

First, the highly sensitive precision detectors connected to the room, used to monitor energy disturbances, recorded that the energy flow of the magic array seemed to have undergone a slight, almost imperceptible "deflection" toward Elder Li's location. Although the total amount did not increase, the distribution showed an extremely subtle change, as if an invisible stream was gently brushing over a pebble that was about to sink.

Immediately afterwards, the monitor connected to Mr. Li's body emitted its first soft beep, different from an alarm.

"Heart rate—slightly increased. From 42 beats/min to 45 beats/min, and is stabilizing." The doctor in charge of monitoring reported in a low voice, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Blood oxygen saturation increased by 2 percentage points."

"Core body temperature, up 0.1 degrees Celsius, stable."

"Brainwave activity—alpha and beta waves show a slight increasing trend. Deep sleep waves are decreasing."

The changes are subtle, but they are unmistakably a positive trend.

Moreover, these changes occurred naturally without the use of any drugs or any external physical intervention!

Inside the observation room, everyone involuntarily held their breath.

Li Wei clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Qin Weiguo's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the screen.

Time passed second by second.

The medical bed remained beside the magic circle for the scheduled one hour.

During that hour, Mr. Li's vital signs showed a slow but steady "recovery".

Although still far from healthy standards, the heartbreaking, continuously declining curve has been stabilized and has even begun to show extremely slight upward fluctuations.

Most shockingly, real-time cell metabolism monitoring showed that the rising concentrations of several key biomarkers representing cell damage and aging slowed significantly, and even slightly declined.

"This—this is simply a miracle—" a senior medical expert murmured. In his decades of medical practice, he had never seen such a bizarre and holistic improvement in the state of life.

"It's not a miracle, it's order." Feng Zhenhua's voice was hoarse, filled with the excitement of a researcher witnessing a historic moment. "The energy field is gently and systematically promoting the self-adjustment and repair of his bodily functions! Look here."

He pointed to a set of microscopic monitoring data: "The mitochondrial membrane potential of some aging cells in his body showed slight signs of recovery, which—theoretically—can improve cellular energy metabolism!"

An hour later, the medical bed was slowly moved back to the observation room according to the pre-arranged plan.

Immediately, a full suite of in-depth checks was restarted.

The results were encouraging.

Mr. Li's vital signs have stabilized at a level that is significantly improved compared to before he entered the hospital.

Although still weak, the deathly pallor seemed to have faded slightly.

Most encouragingly, this improvement did not disappear immediately after briefly leaving the magic array environment, but was maintained to a certain extent.

"The effect is persistent; at least some of the repair or adjustment is physiological, rather than simply maintaining the field energy!" Zhao Ming's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Over the next few days, following a meticulously designed plan, Mr. Li was sent to the connection room each day to receive several hours of exposure to the "ordered field".

Each time, it is accompanied by detailed monitoring and careful evaluation.

Change is cumulative.

Mr. Li's conscious time began to increase slowly, from the initial few minutes to being able to have short, logical conversations.

His failing organ function indicators stopped deteriorating and began to show extremely slight improvement.

What shocked the medical team the most was that some old, chronic inflammatory lesions that had seriously affected his quality of life showed signs of absorption and improvement on imaging.

By the seventh day, with the help of others, Mr. Li was even able to sit up briefly and clearly inquire about the progress and data of the experiment.

His eyes, clouded by age and illness, have regained their sparkle of knowledge and wisdom. Although his body remains frail, his spiritual recovery is evident.

"Incredible—really—incredible—" Old Li leaned weakly against the raised hospital bed, looking at the data charts that Feng Zhenhua and the medical team leader showed him, and a long-lost, pure smile belonging to a scientist appeared on his lips.

This energy field—it doesn't directly provide energy, but it guides the body—to rediscover its optimal operating order—

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant—the underlying principles are enough to revolutionize existing biology and medicine—

He took a breath, his gaze falling on the faint outline of the magic circle visible through the observation window, his eyes deepening: "This proves that consciousness leaving the body and operating in another world doesn't conflict with the body accepting this 'ordering' effect. In fact, the latter might even provide physiological support and optimization for the former. So, conversely, if my body ultimately truly cannot be salvaged—"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood his unspoken message.

If this body eventually reaches its end, then can its consciousness, which carries countless wisdom and experience, rely on this connection to continue existing, thinking, and even—contributing to science and to both worlds—in another world in another form?

This is a deeper and bolder part of the high-level plan.

Qin Weiguo walked to Li Lao's bedside and solemnly saluted: "Li Lao, your contributions to the country and the nation are beyond repayment. The data from this experiment is an invaluable asset. Please rest assured and cooperate with your treatment. As for the future—we believe that the road ahead will become wider and wider."

Old Li blinked slowly, his gaze returning to the mysterious magic circle. His voice, though soft, was incredibly clear: "Please thank that young man in another world for me. He opened more than just a door—"

Inside the room, the magic circle continued to rotate silently, emitting a soft and mysterious halo.
