46: Phoenix Nirvana!

Immediately following, dust billowed across the wasteland.

Lin Qingran looked back to see three army-green jeeps speeding towards them.

The high-ranking Iron Blood Clan member clearly noticed the situation as well.

He glanced at the white-robed man in front of him, immediately boarded his flying machine, and chose to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran's face changed drastically, and she quickly said to the white-robed man, "Don't let him get away!"

The white-robed man smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Don't worry, little sister, he can't escape."

After the man spoke, a dazzling fiery light streaked across the sky above their heads.

It then precisely struck the Iron Blood Clan member's flying machine, which instantly exploded in mid-air.

The high-ranking Iron Blood Clan member fell heavily to the ground, but the explosion of the flying machine did not cause him much harm.

Seeing this, the white-robed man's eyes suddenly turned cold; he reached out, and an ice-blue longsword instantly appeared in his hand.

Immediately after, he directly threw the ice-blue longsword, which in an instant pierced through the high-ranking Iron Blood Clan member, pinning him to the ground.

Lin Qingran felt relieved upon seeing this.

At the same time, the three army-green jeeps slowly came to a stop.

Wu Chiren, Ji Xing, and the others quickly got out of the cars and ran towards the two.

Upon seeing the dying Shen Xingyu, everyone's expressions instantly turned grim.

"Doctor! Where's the doctor? Someone here needs treatment!"

Wu Chiren shouted loudly behind him.

A woman in a white coat ran forward, weaving through the crowd.

Seeing the unconscious Shen Xingyu, the woman quickly began to examine his injuries.

However, the more she examined him, the more alarmed she became.

Lin Qingran's heart sank when she saw the female doctor's changing expression: "Doctor, how is he?"

"His condition is very bad; his internal organs have suffered a great degree of impact."

Everyone panicked instantly upon hearing this; Zhang Zeyang quickly pulled out a large handful of spirit liquid and handed it to the female doctor: "Doctor, will these be useful?"

The female doctor glanced at the spirit liquid Zhang Zeyang handed over; although they were all top-grade spirit liquids, Shen Xingyu was severely injured, and these spirit liquids could no longer have any effect.

Looking at their hopeful gazes, the female doctor shook her head helplessly.

"He's very badly injured; these spirit liquids are no longer effective."

"I can only give him some medicine first to preserve his life. Whether he can make it once we return to the outpost hospital will depend on him."

Everyone's faces turned pale upon hearing this.

After the doctor finished speaking, her hands moved continuously, taking out an injection from the medical kit slung over her shoulder and injecting it into Shen Xingyu.

Lin Qingran looked at Shen Xingyu's pale face without any expression, but her reddened eyes betrayed her.

She picked up Shen Xingyu by the waist, struggled to stand up from the ground, and then walked towards the jeep.

"Let's head back to the outpost first!"

Everyone looked at the slightly thin figure carrying Shen Xingyu in front of them, lost in thought for a moment, then quickly followed.

Wu Chiren volunteered to sit in the driver's seat. After the car kicked up a cloud of dust, it roared like a fierce tiger and drove off into the distance.

...

Outside the Star Gate, in District Three, inside the hospital of Outpost "N318."

Everyone was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room.

Wu Chiren sat on a chair in the corridor, head bowed, not saying a word.

Earlier, he had followed Shen Xingyu's instructions to drive back to the outpost for reinforcements.

Not long after, he encountered the others who had rushed to support after receiving the distress signal.

He felt extremely guilty at this moment; if all of them had stayed back then, such a result would not have occurred.

Lin Qingran sat opposite Wu Chiren, frowning and remaining silent.

She seemed to be making some kind of decision.

Just then, the emergency room door suddenly opened.

Everyone heard the sound and quickly gathered around.

"Doctor, how is he?"

Everyone asked in unison.

The doctor took off her mask and sighed at everyone.

"Currently, we can only ensure this young man's life is preserved, but only for one day."

"If there isn't a Ninth-Rank healing type, I'm afraid..."

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.

As long as there was a way, everything would be fine!

"Thank you, Doctor, we'll contact them immediately."

After a brief thank you to the doctor, Wu Chiren pulled out his identification plate to call for help.

Zhang Zeyang, who was squatting in the corner, heard this and immediately used his identification plate to send a message to Old Jia.

He told Old Jia to absolutely contact a Ninth-Rank or higher healing type, and to agree to whatever conditions the other party set!

Then Zhang Zeyang sent his location to Old Jia.

Not long after, Old Jia sent him a message.

"Young Master, I can contact them, but one day is too tight; they absolutely can't make it in time."

"Some Ninth-Rank Seniors are on the front lines and can't break away..."

Zhang Zeyang's face inevitably turned grim when he saw the message, and he quickly typed on his identification plate.

"Contact my grandfather immediately! Whether they're on the front lines or can't make it, I want to see them within one day!"

"Yes, Young Master."

At this moment, not only Zhang Zeyang, but everyone was mobilizing their connections to find a Ninth-Rank healing type who could arrive.

The military personnel came by at one point, and upon learning the news, immediately began helping to make contacts.

But ultimately, the replies everyone received were almost identical.

Either the time was too short, or the person was on the front lines and unable to break away.

Everyone was stumped at this moment.

After more than four hours, everyone still couldn't find a Ninth-Rank healing type near District Three.

Even with General Zhang personally stepping forward and contacting several, they still couldn't make it in one day!

"Damn it!"

Zhang Zeyang's eyes were bloodshot at this moment, and he slammed his fist against the hospital wall.

He was now both guilty and self-reproaching; he hadn't been able to help at all along the way.

Brother Xu sacrificed himself! Even Brother Shen...

How could he be so useless!

Not just Zhang Zeyang, as time ticked by minute by minute, everyone was restless.

Were they really going to watch Shen Xingyu die before their eyes?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao and Nakano Keiko couldn't help but cry.

The others clenched their teeth, eyes red, still continuously contacting people; even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they absolutely couldn't give up!

Just as everyone was anxious, Lin Qingran suddenly stood up and walked towards the ward.

Everyone quickly followed her.

But when she reached the door, Lin Qingran turned around and stopped them.

"You all stay at the door. No matter what happens, no one else is allowed to approach here."

Ji Xing frowned upon hearing this.

"You have a way?"

Lin Qingran nodded faintly.

Joy instantly appeared on everyone's faces.

"Lin Goddess, what way?" Wu Chiren asked.

"Never mind," Lin Qingran said, then directly closed the door.

Everyone was at a loss at this moment.

"What do we do now?" Wu Chiren asked the others.

Ji Xing pondered for a moment, then said to the others, "Continue making contacts, prepare for both outcomes."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Inside the ward.

Lin Qingran sat on the stool beside the bed, looking at the unconscious Shen Xingyu, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She did have a way to save him, but the cost was also great.

Her talent was called Phoenix Fire. As an ancient Divine Beast of Huaxia, the Phoenix possessed an extremely special ability.

That was Phoenix Nirvana!

And this ability was also a hidden part of her talent.

This ability could not only be used on herself but also on others.

However, in her previous life, she had never used it on anyone.

Because, to use it on others, one had to engage in sexual intercourse with that person.

Therefore, that person must first be a male.

And, it had to be her true and sincere desire for the Phoenix Nirvana effect to work.

Lin Qingran thought, and couldn't help but look at Shen Xingyu on the bed, her small face turning crimson.

"I really owe you!"

She murmured, her small face becoming even redder.

Looking at Shen Xingyu on the bed, she seemed to have made some kind of decision.

She didn't want Shen Xingyu to die.

So...

Then she waved her hand, and a fiery red barrier enveloped the two of them.
