78: Chapter 78: Limbs Regenerated, Disabled Veteran Returns to Peak Condition

"Comrade Lin Yun, are... are you serious? Letting those children... stand up again?"

Elder Chen's voice trembled, and his weathered face was filled with disbelief.

The several high-ranking military officials behind him had their eyes wide open, their breathing becoming rapid.

They all held a long list in their hands.

Every name on the list represented a broken body and an unyielding soul.

They were the sharpest swords of the Dragon Kingdom, but in battle after battle of defending their home and country, their blades had snapped, leaving behind lifelong regrets.

"I won't just let them stand up."

Lin Yun held the newborn Qibao, his gaze as firm as a rock.

"I will make them even stronger than before!"

Three days later.

In the western suburbs of the capital, the highest-spec "Pangu" Military Medical Center.

The atmosphere here was as solemn as if a state funeral were about to be held.

Over a hundred soldiers, sitting in wheelchairs, leaning on crutches, or even being carried on stretchers, were brought here by their families and comrades-in-arms.

They were covered in military medals, yet their eyes carried a trace of indescribable loneliness and inferiority.

"Old friend, tell me... is this true? Is there really a miraculous technology in this world that can make severed legs grow back?"

An old general who had lost his left leg in a border conflict thirty years ago asked his old comrade-in-arms beside him in a low voice.

His old comrade had lost an arm in the same battle.

"Whether it's true or not, being able to see you old bones again makes it worth it." The one-armed general smiled, but his smile was full of bitterness.

Just then, the heavy alloy gate of the medical center slowly opened.

Lin Yun, wearing a simple white lab coat, pushed out a transparent life-support pod with an extremely sci-fi design.

Inside the life-support pod, there were no complex robotic arms or scalpels, only a mass of silver liquid slowly flowing like liquid metal.

That was the medical medium composed of billions of nanobots.

"Respected seniors, heroes, welcome home."

Lin Yun bowed deeply to the group of highly decorated soldiers before him.

The entire place was deathly silent.

Everyone was looking at this legendary young man.

"I know everyone has doubts in their hearts, perhaps even thinking this is a scam."

Lin Yun didn't offer much explanation; he looked directly at the old general who had lost his left leg.

"General Li Yunlong, you are the God of War of our Dragon Kingdom. Back then, you led a regiment and stubbornly held off an entire enemy division, securing the Kunlun defense line for us."

"I, Lin Yun, would like to ask you today to be our first participant, may I?"

General Li Yunlong, having been named, was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha! Good lad! You still know my name!"

"Alright! My old life was picked up from the brink of death anyway, and this half-leg has long been treated as scrap metal. If you can really grow a new leg for me, I'll be your bodyguard for the rest of my life!"

"If you can't, I won't blame you either; I'll just consider it accompanying you youngster to have a dream!"

Under everyone's gaze, General Li Yunlong was carefully helped into the transparent medical pod by two nurses.

The moment the pod door closed.

The mass of silver liquid seemed to come alive, instantly enveloping General Li Yunlong's entire body.

"My god! What is that?"

"Won't there be any danger?"

The families' hearts were in their throats.

Lin Yun walked to the console and operated it calmly.

"Scanning vital signs... Genetic sequence matching complete."

"The neuron rupture point of the left lower limb has been located; data models for bones, muscles, and blood vessels are being established..."

"Initiating molecular restructuring program!"

As Lin Yun pressed the button.

Everyone saw a scene they would never forget on the external screen of the medical pod.

Beneath General Li Yunlong's empty left trouser leg.

A mass of silver nanobots began to gather at high speed. Like the most exquisite craftsmen, they began to "weave" bones, "stretch" muscles, and "lay" blood vessels and nerves at a speed visible to the naked eye!

First, a small granulation.

Then the ankle, the foot, the toes...

That wasn't "growing" at all; it was "3D printing" at a speed that transcended the laws of nature!

In less than five minutes.

A brand-new, powerful left leg appeared perfectly before everyone's eyes!

The texture of the skin, the lines of the muscles, even a mole on the sole of the foot, were exactly the same as in the General's old photo from decades ago!

"This... this isn't an illusion, right?"

"My god! A leg... just grew out like that?"

The entire place was silent, followed by an explosion of thunderous exclamation and applause!

The door of the medical pod slowly opened.

General Li Yunlong lowered his head, staring blankly at his "recovered" left leg.

He tried moving his toes.

A long-lost, incredibly clear sensation rushed through the nerve endings straight to his brain.

He stepped out of the medical pod, trembling. He first tentatively tapped the ground, and then, he suddenly raised his head and let out a roar that had been suppressed for decades!

"Ah—!"

In the roar, there was excitement, grievance, unwillingness, but more than anything, it was the ecstasy of being reborn!

Like a child, he stomped his feet hard on the spot.

"Bang!"

The hard alloy floor was actually dented by his stomp!

"Good lad!" General Li Yunlong rushed to Lin Yun, his tiger-like eyes staring at him, full of tears of excitement.

He didn't say much, just gave Lin Yun a bear hug with all his might.

"Thank you... thank you..."

This scene, through the live broadcast, spread across the whole world.

Countless patients in hospitals, desperate due to exorbitant medical expenses, saw the dawn of hope at this moment.

And for the next day and night.

Miracles continued to unfold in this medical center.

Pilots who had lost their arms regained arms capable of piloting fighter jets.

Scouts who had been paralyzed for twenty years due to shrapnel hitting their spines stood up on their own legs once again.

Even a female soldier whose skin had been severely burned all over from a chemical weapon attack recovered skin even smoother and more flawless than before the injury under the repair of the medical pod.

When the last disabled veteran stepped out of the medical pod with a vigorous stride.

Over a hundred eagles that had once had their wings clipped now stood straight before Lin Yun.

They didn't speak, but gave Lin Yun the most standard, most forceful military salute.

Lin Yun stood before them and solemnly returned the salute.

He knew that from today on, the word "disabled" would no longer exist in the dictionary of the Dragon Kingdom.

However, his gaze crossed over these reborn soldiers and looked further away.

"Elder Chen, you see, our soldiers have now all recovered their health."

Lin Yun walked to Elder Chen's side, his voice not loud, but carrying an unquestionable power.

"However, their physical fitness is still only at the peak of ordinary humans."

"Tell me, what if I turn them all into... superhumans?"

Elder Chen turned his head abruptly. He looked at Lin Yun's eyes, which were flashing with a crazy light, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Lin Yun... what do you mean by that?"
