#899 - Chapter 899: No cure? There is hope! Counterattack ahead of schedule, the army is mobilized!
"Chen… …"
Originally wanting to call him Director Chen, Li Hongwei quickly changed his words: "Commander Chen, you've arrived? Old Huang's condition isn't good. Although it's temporarily stabilized, but… his constitution was already poor, and long-term high-intensity work has severely damaged his bodily functions!"
"How serious is it?" Chen Hao asked urgently.
"I'm afraid… …"
Li Hongwei looked at Zhang Ling, unable to say the words that followed.
"Director Li, please speak!" Zhang Ling gritted his teeth.
"I'm afraid… it's only about half a month."
"What?!"
Zhang Ling felt the world spinning.
Chen Hao was also dumbfounded and immediately went straight to the emergency room: "I'll go take a look!"
Zhang Ling's eyes lit up.
He had already been desperate, but hearing Chen Hao say 'I'll go take a look,' hope suddenly rekindled.
Who is Chen Hao?
A genius!
His attainments in the medical field far surpass everyone present!
Zhang Ling is a Doctor of Medicine, and he knows that if Chen Hao takes action, perhaps the outcome can be changed.
However… …
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Hao walked out with a frown.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Ling had already guessed it, and asked in a daze: "Chen, you… can't do it either?"
Chen Hao shook his head.
His medical skills do surpass everyone.
But if it truly cannot be cured, it makes no difference even if it's him.
In Western medicine terms, Old Huang has multiple organ failure, while in Traditional Chinese medicine terms, his essence, qi, and spirit are exhausted.
Currently.
Life signs are temporarily maintained with the help of top-notch equipment and drugs.
But to cure him…
If there were a 00019 genome preparation, it might allow Old Huang to defy fate.
But that's simply not realistic!
The most difficult genome, known as the forbidden zone of life, is roughly estimated to take Chen Hao about a year to complete, even if he devoted himself wholeheartedly, and the time left for Old Huang… is only about half a month!
Let's put it this way.
Even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep, working non-stop 24 hours a day, he wouldn't have enough time to complete the genome.
"How could this be…" Zhang Ling muttered painfully.
He was worried that Chen Hao would give Zhang Ling hope, only for that hope to be completely shattered in the end.
The blow would be even greater!
"Director Li!"
Chen Hao didn't explain: "Be sure to use every means possible to maintain Old Huang's life signs and delay time as much as possible!"
"Rest assured about that!" Li Hongwei nodded.
The hospital will do everything possible to extend Old Huang's life.
It has little to do with Chen Hao's orders.
Who is Old Huang?
A national treasure!
Not long ago, at Jiaotong University's graduation ceremony, Chen Hao awarded a group of scientists, including Old Huang, with medals—the highest national-level medal!
"President Chen!"
Seeing Chen Hao running out, Zhang Ling quickly chased after him: "Is there really hope for my mother? Are you… not just comforting me?"
"I can't be certain, but there is hope!" Chen Hao's expression was solemn.
"Really?!"
Zhang Ling was very excited.
Compared to the conclusion Li Hongwei gave first, Chen Hao's 'not certain, but there is hope' was already the best possible outcome.
Leaving the hospital.
Chen Hao called the old man: "Old man, I want to launch the counterattack early."
"Early?"
The old man was stunned.
In fact, bringing it forward or delaying it by a few days wouldn't have much impact on the overall situation, especially since there were only a few days left until the half-year preparation period.
The problem is…
Since there are only a few days left, is it still necessary to bring it forward?
The old man wanted to ask, but the words that came to his lips were swallowed back down.
When has this child's decision ever been wrong?
There must be a reason why it has to be brought forward.
"Little Chen."
The old man chuckled: "You are the head of the Special Operations Department. It's fine for you to decide on this kind of thing. I won't object!"
… …
Ten o'clock in the morning.
At a secret military base in the suburbs, seven or eight hundred people stood on the open space.
They are not ordinary soldiers, but top elites selected from millions of troops according to the screening conditions given by Chen Hao.
Hundreds of people were in high spirits.
For half a year, before the Xuanjia was fully developed, they conducted driving and combat training through virtual reality simulations. Two months ago, the Xuanjia was officially mass-produced and began high-intensity combat training.
They were waiting for this day!
When everyone was summoned here, they realized that the counterattack was about to begin.
Dong, dong, dong!
Accompanied by footsteps, several people walked onto the stage.
These people had at least two stars on their shoulders, and the one in the middle was Chen Hao!
"More than a year ago, a virus with an extremely high mortality rate swept the globe unstoppably."
Chen Hao's gaze was serious, sweeping over the hundreds of people present: "Then, the Yellowstone volcano almost erupted, followed by the Arabian Sea tsunami."
"In fact, there was a second round of tsunamis, covering all the seas around the world, but it was ultimately not implemented."
"Is it because they were softhearted?"
"No! It's because we used our trump card to threaten them with mutual destruction!"
"From the very beginning, the alien civilization came with the intention of exterminating the entire surface civilization."
"What should we do?!"
Hundreds of elites clenched their fists.
Plague!
Volcano!
Tsunami!
That damned alien civilization inexplicably attacked the surface world, and every move was devastating, aimed at complete annihilation.
What's the point of talking to such enemies?
"Destruction!"
A soldier shouted.
"Destruction!"
"Destruction!"
The roar of hundreds of people was like a surging tsunami.
Throughout history, the surface world has seen countless wars, but the purpose of almost all wars has been to conquer territory, rule, and enslave. But the alien civilization is not like that—their goal is very clear, which is to exterminate.
"Yes, it's destruction!"
Chen Hao's face was as cold as ice: "They want to exterminate us, so there's nothing to say—an eye for an eye, blood for blood!"
"You will represent China in the battle, and success will be revered by the people of China."
"At that time, I will personally award medals to everyone!"
The elites were extremely excited.
The strongest mecha of the alien civilization cannot be countered by Xuanjia, but the problem is that it has already been captured.
The remaining single-soldier mecha and giant mecha cannot be compared with Xuanjia in terms of performance, so they are not worried at all. What's more… even if the enemy is strong and we are weak, as Chinese soldiers, we will never be timid!
Fifty years ago.
China used equipment far inferior to its opponents to push the sixteen-nation coalition back to the 38th parallel.
Today!
The equipment is stronger than the opponent, so what is there to worry about?
If we can't win this kind of crushing game, we might as well find a wall and kill ourselves!
And once we win…
Representing the surface civilization and defeating another invading civilization, they are not only Chinese heroes, but also heroes of all mankind.
Their names will be added to the family tree!
The key is.
The Commander will personally award medals to everyone.
What an honor?
"Use me in the first battle, and I will surely win!" Someone shouted.
"Use me in the first battle, and I will surely win!"
More of the same voices echoed.
The banners fluttered!
The shouts thundered!
"General Wang!" Chen Hao ordered.
"Here!"
General Wang stepped forward.
"Has the position of the Xuanjia Legion been arranged?" Chen Hao asked.
