If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

The rain hadn't stopped, and it was pattering down on the roof of the ambulance.

The sirens pierced the night sky of the city, and a dozen traffic police officers on motorcycles led the way, with all the traffic lights switched to green.

The private cars on both sides of the road pulled over one by one. No one honked their horns. Everyone leaned out of their car windows to watch the car with the word "Emergency" printed on it speed past.

"Hurry! If anything happens to Gun Gun, none of you are coming back!" Director Chen shouted into the walkie-talkie from the command center, his voice already hoarse.

The hospital entrance was already crowded with people. Although it was the middle of the night, no one had left. There were vegetable vendors, young men who had just finished get off work, and students in school uniforms.

They held homemade light signs that read, "Heroes, hang in there!" Several little girls squatted on the curb, wiping away tears and murmuring that everyone must be safe.

As soon as the ambulance door opened, several burly men rushed out carrying a specially made stretcher.

Li Tuantuan lay there, the steel bar still lodged in his chest, blood soaking the stretcher. His chubby face, usually adorned with a mischievous grin, was now frighteningly pale, his eyes tightly shut, utterly still.

Lin Wan ran alongside the stretcher, one hand gripping the edge tightly, the other covered in dirt and blood. She didn't cry out loud, but tears kept falling, and her lips were bitten until they bled.

"Team Leader Lin, go and treat your wound first. We'll take care of things here." Zhao Gang pulled her along, his voice choked with emotion.

"I'm not leaving. I'll stay here and watch over her." Lin Wan pushed his hand away, her eyes fixed on Li Tuantuan being wheeled into the operating room until the door closed and the lights came on.

In the operating room, all the best surgical experts in the province were present. Looking at this 300-pound behemoth on the operating table, their palms sweated with pressure. This wasn't just any ordinary panda; this was a hero who had just saved the entire city.

Deep within Li Tuantuan's consciousness, he was in a strange space.

"System? Where the hell are you? Am I going to die?" Li Tuantuan shouted in her mind.

The system panel kept flashing red: [Warning! Host has suffered fatal damage! Spiritual energy recovery progress has reached 1%, external energy fluctuations detected.]

[Because the host sacrificed himself to save others, he gained a massive amount of hidden merit, forcibly activating a protective hibernation mode.]

Li Tuantuan felt lightheaded, as if he had no feeling in his body. He had a dream in which he was sitting on a golden mountain, holding a spirit stone bigger than a football in his hand, which he was crunching on. The taste was absolutely wonderful, both fragrant and crisp.

"It's so delicious, have another one." In her dream, Li Tuantuan was drooling while waving her bear paws, making a fighting stance as if she wanted to snatch the spirit stone.

In the corridor outside the operating room, Jin Dou and Mei Qiu squatted on the bench, one on each side. Jin Dou's golden fur was soaked through, and he curled up into a ball, occasionally letting out a weak whimper. Mei Qiu's one wing drooped, and he preened his messy feathers with his beak, unusually refraining from swearing.

"Ugh... If that fat guy doesn't wake up, who am I supposed to yell at?" Coal Ball said softly, head down.

Lin Wan sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, staring at the operating room light. Her mind was in turmoil; she kept thinking, if she had reacted faster, if she hadn't followed, would Gun Gun have been safe?

Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly. Every hour felt like a year.

As dawn broke, the operating room door finally opened. The surgeon emerged, removed his mask, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The surgery was successful. The steel bar avoided a vital organ. But he is now in a deep coma due to exhaustion, and it's hard to say when he will wake up."

Lin Wan suddenly stood up, her vision momentarily blurred from the sudden movement. Ignoring this, she rushed to the cart. Li Tuantuan was wheeled out, her body wrapped in bandages like a giant white cocoon.

He was moved to a top-tier VIP ward. This ward, originally intended for retired cadres, had been vacated. The room was kept at a constant temperature and humidity, and a dedicated nurse was on duty 24 hours a day.

For the next few days, the whole city prayed for him. The entrance to his hospital room was piled high with flowers and fruit, and some people even brought boxes of milk. The live stream never quieted down, with the screen filled with messages like "Pullup, wake up!"

Li Tuantuan lay in the hospital bed, occasionally making "hmm" sounds, and her bear paws would unconsciously scratch the blanket a couple of times.

"Nurse, is he awake?" Lin Wan asked anxiously.

The nurse glanced at the monitor and shook her head: "No, this is probably a subconscious movement. Maybe he's thinking about his comrades, or maybe he's continuing the fight in his dreams."

Lin Wan touched Li Tuantuan's cold nose, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

Actually, Li Tuantuan was busy in his dream. He noticed that the spirit stones in his dream were dwindling, and a little man in black kept trying to steal his things. In his dream, he practiced a set of Tai Chi, then did a move called "Iron Mountain Lean," working up a sweat.

"Trying to steal my stuff? No way!" Li Tuantuan roared in her dream and swung out a palm.

In the ward, Lin Wan was wiping Li Tuantuan's face when she suddenly saw that the fat bear paw suddenly rise up and almost slap her nose.

Lin Wan was stunned. She saw Li Tuantuan's eyelids twitch and her eyelashes tremble violently.

"Gungun? Gungun, can you hear me?" Lin Wan leaned close to his ear, her voice trembling violently.

Jin Dou jumped onto the hospital bed and rubbed against Li Tuantuan's ear. Mei Qiu flew to the windowsill and craned its neck to look inside.

Li Tuantuan felt his eyelids were as heavy as if two bricks were pressing down on them. He struggled to open his eyes a crack and saw a blinding white light. Then, he saw Lin Wan's face, which was covered in tears like a cat's.

"So noisy... I still need to eat spirit stones..." Li Tuantuan complained in her mind.

He moved his mouth, feeling his throat parched. He tried to sit up gracefully, but a piercing pain shot through his back, making him want to curse on the spot.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!" Li Tuantuan let out a weak whimper, tears almost falling from her eyes.

His voice threw the entire ward into chaos. Lin Wan frantically called for the doctor and pressed the call button, her hands trembling like a newly recruited police officer.

Li Tuantuan looked at the roof, feeling a chill run through him. He could feel the abundant power within him vanish, leaving him feeling empty.

He struggled to open the system panel, wanting to see how much wealth he still had.

Upon seeing it, he almost fainted from anger.
