"Boom!"
The helicopter circled once in the air before finally landing steadily on the spacious helipad on the top floor of the military hospital.
On the ground, the medical staff who had been notified in advance were already anxiously waiting, pushing mobile hospital beds and carrying various emergency equipment.
As soon as the cabin door opened, before the propellers had even come to a complete stop, Dr. Wu was the first to jump out of the cabin.
"Quick! The wounded are here! Penetrating wound in the right shoulder, damaging the veins, causing massive blood loss!" Dr. Wu shouted as he quickly explained the injury to the responding doctor.
The attending physician, frowning, asked loudly, "Such a large amount of blood loss? What treatment was given on the plane? Is the blood pressure still stable?"
As Dr. Wu helped carry the stretcher down, he emphasized with great pride, "Director, don't worry! I used our hospital's new 'Qiao's Hemostatic Powder' on him in the helicopter! It worked wonders; the massive bleeding has completely stopped! The scabs on the wound have already solidified!"
"What? Qiao's Hemostatic Powder?" The attending physician who came to help was stunned. Of course, he knew about this new drug that had been making headlines in the hospital recently, but this was the first time he had heard of it playing such a significant role in the emergency treatment of such a severe trauma.
But he quickly realized that now was not the time to discuss the efficacy of the medicine; saving lives was the priority!
"Good! Well done! Quick! One, two, three, lift!"
Several strong male doctors and nurses worked together to carefully transfer Lu Baizhou from the helicopter stretcher to a wheeled gurney.
"Make way! Make way! First aid! First aid!"
The wheels of the gurney screeched on the corridor floor as a group of people pushed Lu Baizhou like a whirlwind, rushing towards the operating room.
The red light on the operating room door shone brightly.
……
I don't know how much time passed, maybe a day, maybe two.
In a spacious and bright VIP single ward at the General Hospital of the Military Region.
The walls were painted snow-white, and a faint smell of disinfectant filled the air.
Lu Baizhou lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, with two thick, soft pillows behind his back. His right shoulder and back were wrapped tightly in thick white gauze, and he looked thinner than usual.
Although his face was still sickly pale and his lips were bloodless due to excessive blood loss, the sharp and majestic aura of a special forces king in his deep eyes had recovered to about 70-80%.
Four or five soldiers in military uniforms stood in a row in front of the hospital bed. These were the key members who had gone into the mountains with him on the mission that day, including his deputy and Xiao Zhao.
They all stared at Lu Baizhou with wide eyes, their faces filled with worry, lingering fear, and barely concealed excitement.
"Commander, you're finally awake! Do you know how scared we brothers were while you were unconscious for the past two days!" The second-in-command's eyes were red and his voice was rough.
"Yes, Commander, if you hadn't pushed that greenhorn away that day, you wouldn't have been so badly injured. If anything had happened to you, how would we explain it to you when we got back?" another soldier chimed in.
Lu Baizhou looked at these tough guys who usually wouldn't shed a tear even when they bled and sweated on the training field, but now they were all teary-eyed, and he couldn't help but find it amusing.
He cleared his slightly dry throat, his gaze sweeping sternly over the faces before him. He deliberately put on a harsh expression and reprimanded, "Alright, alright! Hold back your tears! What kind of behavior is this, all of you grown men crying like this? I'm not dead yet!"
"I'm telling you, I'm fine! This gunshot wound is nothing to me. The doctor said that as long as I take good care of myself, I'll be out of the hospital in a few days, all lively and energetic."
Lu Baizhou adopted a nonchalant attitude and shouted, "You guys get back to the camp right now, do your training, do whatever you're supposed to do. When you get back, tell the other brothers that I, Lu Baizhou, am tough as nails, even the King of Hell won't take me! Tell them not to worry about me, I'll teach you bastards a lesson when I get back!"
Hearing their commander's powerful and forceful curses, the soldiers finally felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts. They knew that as long as their commander could still curse, it meant everything was truly alright.
"Yes, Commander! We will definitely deliver the message!" Several soldiers nodded repeatedly, their faces showing honest smiles.
"Alright, stop standing here, it's annoying to look at you." Lu Baizhou waved his uninjured left hand, indicating that they could leave.
Just as the soldiers turned to leave, Lu Baizhou suddenly spoke up again: "Hey, wait a minute. Also, there's some great news I need to tell you in advance."
The soldiers stopped and turned around, looking at him with puzzled expressions: "Good news? Commander, what's the good news? Are you getting promoted?"
Lu Baizhou leaned back on the pillow, slightly raising his chin. His tone suddenly changed completely from when he was scolding people earlier; his voice now carried an uncontrollable, smug, and boastful mirth.
He looked at the group of bachelors and announced slowly and deliberately, word by word, "I'm in a relationship."
"..."
The room fell into a deathly silence.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Four or five soldiers stood frozen in place, as if they had been collectively frozen in place. Their eyes were wide open, their mouths agape, and their jaws nearly dropped to the ground, as if they had heard something utterly unbelievable.
There was a full two seconds of silence.
Then, Li, the youngest soldier at the front of the line and usually the most outspoken, was the first to react. He took a step forward abruptly, his eyes wide as saucers, his voice cracking: "What?! Commander, you...you have a girlfriend?! Really?!"
Seeing their utterly astonished expressions, Lu Baizhou felt incredibly pleased. A smug grin spread across his face as he said triumphantly, "Nonsense! When have I ever joked about something like this? It's true! And it's a serious relationship with marriage in mind!"
He paused, then dropped another bombshell: "You guys better get your stomachs empty and prepare your wedding gift money! I'm going to treat you to wedding candy soon! Just you wait, you'll be waiting for that soon."
The soldiers' expressions were incredibly varied. It was as if they were trying to process some earth-shattering news that could blow up the planet.
Even a burly, usually daring veteran could hardly believe his ears.
