Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Two or three seconds later, An Zhishui felt a surge of energy and her thoughts became clearer. At the same time, she noticed a familiar electromagnetic field being generated near the crack.

"..."

An Zhishui was stunned for a moment, her heart slowly calming down, her tone complicated: "Sister Cheng... she really didn't die..."

During that year in the Soviet Union, she and Gu Cheng often worked together, and this electromagnetic field allowed the mimicry ghost to access the signal more easily.

Could it be that she wants me to... set up a support network for missile launches...?

“Xiao Weiwei kept saying that my abilities were not suitable for post-disaster order.”

The girl was talking to herself, her mind connected to the electric field.

"Since that's the case, I might as well take advantage of this opportunity and fight to the death." If she wins, ordinary people will be spared from slaughter, world order will be preserved, and she can continue to dominate the internet as a top hacker.

With her mental power fully unleashed and the mimic ghost operating at full capacity, An Zhishui, amplified by Ling Yi's abilities and assisted by Gu Cheng's electromagnetic field, broke through Nidhogg's signal isolation and successfully established a wireless network.

The electronic fog that had shrouded the battle finally dissipated, and the entire fleet simultaneously re-established contact with the coastal base.

"what happened?"

"We contacted headquarters, and the signal has been restored!"

"Immediately transmit Nidhogg's location information and request artillery fire."

The commander-in-chief reacted quickly. The instant he received the fleet's signal, he ordered the land-based missiles to enter their silos. However, due to the lack of satellite positioning, he could not launch them with pleasure, as a large number of ships and potentially surviving Awakened remained on the sea.

"We must disperse the cumulus clouds and fog to obtain more accurate satellite coordinates."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the command center.

"Sir, the clouds have dispersed..."

On satellite cloud images, the thick clouds covering the sea gradually dissipated, and the remaining gray fog overlapped and intertwined to form a giant ring.

Nidhogg is positioned right in the center of the circle, like a bullseye marked in a shooting range, waiting to be hit.

Chapter 427, Section 435: The Sun Shines

The next day, soft sunlight streamed through the blinds and gently fell on the bed. The room was warm and dry, and the sheets and blankets were all pure white. A few simply decorated, pale yellow lilies were placed in the cabinet not far away.

The woman lay quietly on the hospital bed, her pink lips slightly pouting, her eyelashes rising and falling with her breath, and her long, smooth, flaxen hair gently draped over the pillow, clean and sweet.

After a long while, Gu Cheng slowly opened her eyes, her brown pupils staring blankly at the ceiling in front of her, her expression somewhat confused.

Who am I? Where am I?... I'm hungry...

Rubbing her head, Gu Cheng let out a soft, delicate hum like a cat's meow. She frowned, her mind gradually clearing as the light flickered.

She remembered Nidhogg being pierced through the shell by a beam of heat from the sky, its massive iron wings teetering under the barrage of cannon fire, howling winds and torrential rain accompanied by thunderstorms, heat waves stirring the tides, and the blood of the black dragon filling the ocean.

Then, she lost her footing and fell into the deep sea.

Gravity manipulation failed... Su Wanxi... Gu Cheng's eyelashes trembled, she sat up straight abruptly, looked around, and found that the room was empty except for herself.

My heart sank, and a sense of panic spread everywhere.

Gu Cheng hurriedly got up, not even having time to put on slippers. Her smooth, jade-like feet gently touched the floor, and the cool touch, along with the smell of disinfectant, flooded her brain.

Every time she went to the hospital, the first person she saw when she woke up was Su Wanxi. If the latter was safe and sound, she would never be absent at such a time.

As she reached the door, the woman suddenly stopped, her hand gripping the handrail without turning it. She was afraid, afraid to face some cruel reality, just like Zhou Li had experienced, waking up to find everything changed.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Cheng called out softly, "Gu Chengyan?"

Her mind remained silent. She tried several more times, but still received no response.

Perhaps, she's just asleep.

Gu Cheng comforted herself as she turned around and sat back on the hospital bed. Looking at the loose and clean hospital gown she was wearing, she pursed her pink lips tightly and tried to set up a bio-electric radar to find Su Wanxi.

The moment the spiritual energy was transferred, it sank into a quagmire, as if an invisible and intangible transparent wall had been built on all sides.

This feeling of stagnation made Gu Cheng even more uneasy. She even forgot the most crucial point: the long-standing rejection effect on her body had vanished at this moment. She could feel the air kissing her skin and the sunlight warm and comfortable.

"Click".

The door opened, and a young woman dressed as a nurse entered the ward. Seeing Gu Cheng sitting thoughtfully on the edge of the bed, she paused, then asked, "Miss Gu is awake?"

Gu Cheng nodded, placing her hands obediently on her knees: "Hello, may I ask where this is...?"

"Tianjin Medical University General Hospital." The nurse put down the change of clothes and said gently, "Ms. Gu, how are you feeling now? Do you have a headache or fever?"

"No... my mouth is just a little dry..."

The nurse kindly handed Gu Cheng a glass of warm water, watched her take a few sips and put it on the bedside table, and smiled, "That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you can contact us anytime. The call button is by the bedside."

Gu Cheng glanced at the button, her brows relaxed slightly, and she quickly moved her lips a few times, pinching her thigh with her fingers, and asked the question she cared about most.

"Does your hospital... have a patient surnamed Su...?"

The young nurse was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, thinking that only the surname Su was too broad a scope. Gu Cheng also realized this, and awkwardly put her legs together, offering a more precise description.

"Su Wanxi, Wan as in sunset, Xi as in dawn."

It's a very nice-sounding name.

The nurse recognized the name, but remembering the strict orders from above not to disclose patient information without authorization, she could only give a vague answer that she wasn't sure and could go and ask for help.

Gu Cheng nodded slightly and smiled gently at her, who quickly looked away, her ears turning red.

"Thank you. There's one more thing. I'd like to know what the date is today?"

"Wednesday, December 22nd, just after the Winter Solstice. Would Miss Gu like some dumplings?"

The hospital cafeteria serves meals every morning and evening, and since it's not yet noon, it's convenient for Gu Cheng to eat.

"No need, thank you."

The woman declined softly. After she left, Gu Cheng got up and rummaged through the closet. Apart from a few changes of hospital gowns, the rest were disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and face wash.

Neither the Tang sword nor the cell phone were among them, and the heavy combat uniform was nowhere to be found.

After anxiously waiting for more than half an hour, Gu Cheng received a call from the nurse saying that Miss Su was resting next door and that a visit could be arranged.

"Take me there."

The hospital had the heating on, so the temperature difference between the ward and the corridor wasn't too great. Gu Cheng only wore a coat on the outside. As she pushed open the door, she immediately saw the beautiful woman with black hair, whom she had been longing to see, lying on the bed receiving an IV drip.

Su Wanxi's sleeping face was serene, her long eyelashes drooping low, her cherry lips pale but still soft. Sunlight bathed her, brushing over her pert nose, and a few shadows made her features even more three-dimensional.

Even when she's asleep, Su Wanxi looks especially beautiful.

Gu Cheng stood quietly by the bed, her gaze fixed on her lover's profile. Her restless heartbeat gradually calmed down, and an indescribable tenderness filled the room. She pursed her lips, her voice gentle and soothing.

"Su Wanwan..."

"It's my turn to accompany you this time."

Gu Cheng stayed by Su Wanxi's side all morning. She moved a chair to the bedside and sat quietly like her former fiancée used to.

According to the doctor, Su Wanxi fell into a coma due to low blood sugar and excessive fatigue. Gu Cheng knew that Su Wanxi couldn't possibly have low blood sugar. She strictly supervised her fiancé's three meals a day, not to mention that Su Wanxi was a big fan of sweets.

Thank goodness I exercise regularly, otherwise I would have developed a belly long ago.

Gu Cheng speculated that the main reason for Su Wanxi's coma was the exhaustion of her mental energy, and secondly, the loss of vitality from healing her shoulder injury. These injuries were all related to mysticism, and the hospital had difficulty finding the cause.

The military should use a unified narrative, with all wounded soldiers given similar confidential statements.

By lunchtime, Gu Cheng was starving. She hadn't eaten a single grain of rice since waking up, only drinking two cups of hot water. Her phone wasn't with her, and she didn't want to be too far from Su Wanxi, so she asked the nurse from earlier to bring her some food.

After a while, the little girl came into the house carrying a steaming hot lunchbox.

"You don't need to give me any money; the government will cover all the expenses incurred during my hospitalization."

Seeing that Gu Cheng looked well, the nurse's voice also became much more relaxed.

"Actually, the food in the hospital cafeteria isn't as bad as people say online. Here, Miss Gu, give it a try."

After speaking, she handed the lunchbox to Gu Cheng, who smiled and accepted it, politely thanking her. Su Wanxi, lying on the bed, vaguely heard someone talking, and her beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed into a straight line in the light.

Then she saw her fiancée smiling at a young and beautiful nurse.

Chapter 428, Section 436: A Heart That Beats for You

After eating military rations for almost a week, Gu Cheng was finally able to taste some normal food. Even a simple boxed meal made her feel incredibly happy. After finishing her soup and cleaning up her dishes, she felt warm and comfortable in her stomach.

Sitting back on the edge of the bed, Su Wanxi was still asleep. Gu Cheng peeled two oranges for her, arranged them into a heart shape, and then propped his face up, aimlessly counting her eyelashes.

"Wanwan... Gu Chengyan's plan succeeded..."

"Although the thunderstorm failed to kill Nidhogg directly, the concept erasure pierced the gap between the rift and reality, and the military's naval defenses successfully destroyed the Black Dragon's core."

"We prevented the end of the world from happening."

After talking to herself for a while, Gu Cheng bent down to help Su Wanxi fix her hair. Her fair wrist covered her cheek and accidentally touched the tip of her nose, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Su Wanwan, please wake up soon."

"The food at the hospital here is delicious. The sweet and sour ribbonfish is cooked to a super sweet taste, the braised eggplant is also good, and you can even taste the egg drop soup in the tomato and egg soup."

“I know my Su Wanwan doesn’t like compressed biscuits, but if she’s asleep, we can only give her glucose drips. When you wake up, you can eat whatever you want. If it’s a dish I don’t know how to make, I’ll find a chef to teach me. Anyway, there’s plenty of time in the future, and I’ll learn it eventually.”

Gu Cheng lowered her hand to the edge of the bed, grasped the soft hand, and parted her pink lips slightly.

"While Sleeping Beauty is beautiful too... well, I kind of want to hear you talk..."

Su Wanxi lay quietly, her fair and delicate face, free of makeup, was as white as snow. Gu Cheng looked at the lovely woman so close to him, his gaze moving from her lips to her eyelashes, and finally settling on his fiancée's smooth and fair forehead.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Cheng lowered her head and gently smacked her lips.

Then, she noticed that Su Wanxi's eyelashes trembled, and her shimmering, leaden eyes seemed to hold fallen stars.

"Wanwan?" Gu Cheng was clearly stunned for a moment, as if something was stuck in her throat. Su Wanxi blinked at her and smiled slightly.

"You...were you awake a while ago?"

Gu Cheng realized something was wrong. Her dark eyes were calm and indifferent, with a hint of clarity, not at all like someone who had just woken up from a coma.

The woman gave a muffled "hmm," her voice delicate and alluring. Seeing this, Gu Cheng, embarrassed and annoyed, pressed her for an answer: "When did you wake up?"
