Chapter 849: Chapter 758: Medical Immortal’s Secret Transmission (13) [Double Chapter]
Upon hearing this, the chief academician looked at Jian Liu in disbelief: "Those were your soldiers!"
"They died for the glory of the legion, which is an honor for them."
"When the day comes for the new world to arrive, people will lay flowers at their tombstones, praising their deeds."
"But their deaths are meaningless!"
The chief academician wanted to say more, but the cold and stubborn look in Jian Liu’s eyes extinguished his anger, leaving him drained and on the verge of collapse.
"Because of your obstinacy, their deaths were meaningless..."
"You have changed."
"If all of this isn’t to deeply engrain the pain of history, to return this world to its rightful path, then what is the point?"
"Are we leading human civilization into the future, or are we letting history repeat itself?"
"I can no longer continue this research; it will destroy everything. I don’t want to be the one who digs civilization’s grave with my own hands."
After speaking, the academician removed his military cap and gave a deep salute to Jian Liu before turning to walk towards the door.
"Academician, thank you for your efforts over the years. Before leaving this fortress, you should first think about how to retrieve Gabriel."
"I will..."
A slow and weary voice echoed. Witnessing the downfall of a fortress; countless soldiers perished in Fortress No. 17, the chief academician appeared to have aged decades, his figure becoming slightly hunched.
In the dead of night, the chief academician packed his belongings, sent the resignation letter addressed to Dretry, and just as he pushed open the door, planning to leave, a cold gun barrel pressed against the back of his head.
"Academician, your name is on the purge list."
In the darkness, flickering firelight dance, and the academician, who had dedicated half his life to the legion, died before his farewell night.
The Fallen Angel Project continued.
Time flew by, rushing past two months after the fall of Fortress No. 17.
...
Floating amidst Cloud Whale dreams, life reveals countless dynamics.
In the illusory dreamscape, a girl’s joyous laughter echoes, a green-haired girl sits atop an ancient banyan tree, the silver bells on her legs chiming crisply as she swings. She holds a fishing rod, the float lands in the pond beneath the banyan tree, rippling the water.
"Little old man, you always say this world is sick, gravely sick. What are the symptoms?"
The old man wearing a straw hat didn’t answer; he gazed afar, where vast lakes and undulating mountains lay, with the sunset descending on the horizon.
The elder appeared hunched and lean, shorter than the girl on the banyan tree; thick white beard hid his wrinkled face but couldn’t conceal his profound and wise gaze.
"This world is a giant, a towering giant. Just by standing there, everyone can clearly see its silhouette."
"We might see it suddenly sneeze and say—it has a cold. But with such a large body, could it really just be a simple cold?"
"Don’t always speak in riddles! I don’t understand these things. I only know that if there’s illness, it needs to be cured. No matter the ailment, once medication is applied, the disease will be eradicated."
The girl spoke, and suddenly her fishing rod moved. She jumped up, raising her hands high above her head, seemingly exerting all her strength.
In the next moment, the fishing rod flew into the sky.
Distant whale sounds echoed, shadows ascended into the sky, the colossal creature overshadowed the clouds, its curved body and the half moon in the sky formed a full moon.
The girl actually fished up a Cloud Whale!
The body of the Cloud Whale was broader than the cloud barriers, taller than mountains, it floated high above the sea of clouds. With its appearance, the world turned into an ocean. Pure blue tears flowed upstream, transforming into a reverse rainy curtain, with lazy purple coral clusters growing across the entire sky. Everything appeared like a grand miracle.
The girl raised her hand to her forehead, stood on tiptoes, and exclaimed ’Wow’ in admiration.
She looked at "Cyan Sage", and the little old man also turned his head towards her.
"Cyan Sage" stood up, leaning on a cane, his thin figure appearing somewhat comical. As the medicine gourd on the cane slightly shook, yellow luminescence spread across the entire sky, the Cloud Whale again let out a distant hum.
"Cloud Whale Uncle is huge, but why doesn’t it get sick?"
"Do you want to know why?" "Cyan Sage" said.
"Of course, I do." The girl answered without hesitation.
"Since you want to know, then use your own eyes to see it. The myriad forms of the world, the cold and warmth of common beings."
"Once you’ve ascended the highest mountain, crossed the farthest rivers, once your steps have measured this land, you’ll be able to find the cause of the sickness."
The girl pondered, looking into the distance, her legs swinging.
"Despite being so skilled, why don’t you try to cure the world’s sickness?"
"Because..." "Cyan Sage" pondered.
He didn’t continue speaking, only looked at the girl. He intended to leave the answer to this question for the girl to discover on her own.
The girl jumped down from the banyan tree, took the Cyan Sage’s medicine gourd cane, lightly hooked, and hung her backpack on her back.
"It doesn’t matter. Since the old man can’t do it, I’ll do it. I have the Miracle Medicine! Miracle Medicine cures all ailments; as long as I know what’s wrong with this world, what the illness is, I will definitely cure it!"
The distant whale sounds faded into the distance. Floating amidst Cloud Whale dreams, life itself is like a dream.
A drop of dew fell onto the girl’s eyelash, the Little Medical Immortal sat up and stretched lazily. She hadn’t slept so peacefully in a long time.
