Chapter 414 Healing Others
After having lunch with the soldiers, Li Chenglong went to the director's office of the Dawn Army Hospital, where the director, vice director, and several chief physicians and attending doctors were already present. He exchanged a few pleasantries with them before explaining the matter of life energy.
While there are many advanced wood- and water-type ability users here, many of them have received twenty or thirty years of materialistic education and are therefore skeptical about this matter. This is understandable; although the large-scale emergence of ability users has severely impacted their understanding, the regeneration of severed limbs is still far too incredible.
Liu Lan, the director of Dawn Military Hospital and an 11th-level wood-type ability user, spoke first: "City Lord, are you serious? You're not joking, are you? Even Li Xue, who currently has the strongest healing ability in Dawn City, can only heal others' serious injuries. Isn't limb regeneration a bit too much?"
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't really believe it at first either, but as my understanding of life energy deepened, I felt that it was possible. There's no point in just talking about it here, so let's give it a try. Even if we fail, it will only prove that the power of life energy is not that strong, and it won't cause any harm to the patient."
Liu Lan nodded. Then she asked a head nurse to fetch a soldier who had lost two fingers. This soldier was to be discharged from the hospital today. Although he had lost two fingers, Qin Susu had personally approved his application to rejoin the army after his repeated requests.
A minute later, the head nurse led the soldier in. Upon seeing Li Chenglong, the soldier immediately saluted and said, "Commander, hello! I am Zhao Zhijie, company commander of the 4th Company, 3rd Battalion, 15th Regiment, 2nd Army of the Dawn Army. The head nurse said you needed to see me." Li Chenglong carefully examined the soldier; he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a youthful appearance. His left hand was intact, but his right middle and index fingers were missing. Thanks to the treatment from a high-level ability user, bandaging was no longer necessary.
Li Chenglong returned the salute, patted Zhao Zhijie on the shoulder and said, "You're a level 7 dual-elemental ability user, not bad, not bad." Zhao Zhijie said somewhat embarrassedly, "Last year when we went south to fight the zombies, because of my outstanding performance, I earned a psionic apple based on my accumulated military merits, and was fortunate enough to become a dual-elemental ability user."
Li Chenglong nodded and said, "Sit in this chair, give me your right hand, close your eyes, and make sure you relax. No matter what happens, don't use your special abilities to fight back, understand?" Although Zhao Zhijie didn't know what the commander wanted to do, he sat upright in the chair that Li Chenglong had prepared in advance and then closed his eyes.
Then Li Chenglong said to the medical staff next to him, "You too, no matter what you see, don't say anything. Okay, let's begin. Anyone who wants to record a video can do so." Hearing this, everyone around him quickly took out their crystal phones, turned on the camera function, and watched carefully.
Li Chenglong let out a long breath and began to mobilize his body's spiritual energy, especially the newly emerging life energy from the G crystal, gradually gathering it in his hands. Then, he grasped Zhao Zhijie's palm with one hand and the severed finger stump in front of his palm with the other.
Everyone saw that green orbs of light appeared in Li Chenglong's hands, covering both of their hands. The orbs of light gave people a comfortable and vibrant feeling, making them want to get closer.
At this moment, Zhao Zhijie felt warm all over, especially his right hand, which felt incredibly comfortable, as if all the blood in his body was flowing smoothly, making him feel much more refreshed. Less than ten seconds later, a burning sensation returned to his right hand, particularly the tips of his two severed fingers, which felt extremely hot, as if they were on fire. He wanted to open his eyes to see what was happening, but the commander's instructions made him keep them tightly closed, trying his best to relax his entire body.
Two minutes later, Li Chenglong released Zhao Zhijie's right hand and said with a smile, "Open your eyes and feel it carefully. There's nothing special about it." Before he even opened his eyes, everyone in the office exclaimed in surprise, "It's really healed? The severed finger has regenerated!"
Zhao Zhijie opened his eyes and looked at his right hand, only to find that his index and middle fingers, which had disappeared, had reappeared. He stood up abruptly, clenched his fist tightly, rubbed his eyes with his left hand, and then pinched the newly grown fingers on his right hand before he could believe that it was indeed his right hand.
Zhao Zhijie looked at Li Chenglong, who was smiling at him, tears already streaming down his face. He was about to kneel down when Li Chenglong swiftly helped him up: "Don't do that. If you want to thank me, then show me your skills in battle from now on. But you must be careful and stay safe, understand?"
With tears welling in his eyes, Zhao Zhijie was too moved to utter a single word. He solemnly saluted Li Chenglong again before leaving. After he left, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted in the office. Liu Lan exclaimed excitedly, "Lord City Lord, you've truly shown us what a miracle is today!"
Li Chenglong waved his hand, signaling everyone to keep a low profile. He continued, "Dean Liu Lan, starting today, unless there's a battle, I'll be here every afternoon for four hours to treat our disabled soldiers. What do you think?" Liu Lan excitedly replied, "That would be wonderful! Actually, I was just about to say that, but I was worried that you, Lord, are too busy to have the time. Your willingness to do this would be a real blessing for all of us wounded and disabled soldiers."
Liu Lan immediately began making arrangements, quickly setting up an office on the first floor as Li Chenglong's dedicated treatment room. Then, the nurses began issuing notices, instructing all disabled soldiers to line up for treatment. Because there wasn't much time left today, they would only treat soldiers with milder disabilities, as this would be faster and allow them to return to their units sooner.
Actually, the medical staff didn't even need to notify them, because as soon as Zhao Zhijie went outside, he rushed to the flower bed and pond in the middle of the hospital, excitedly shouting and yelling. It was only after the head nurse stopped him that he calmed down. But because of this incident, everyone knew that the commander could treat the disabled, and they all flocked to the director's office.
After Liu Lan's explanation, everyone learned that Li Chenglong would come to see patients every afternoon starting today, and a weight was lifted from their hearts. Subsequently, under the arrangement of the nurses, some soldiers with milder disabilities began to receive treatment first, while those with severe injuries were not in a hurry. Since the commander had said he would come every day, they had hope and there was no need to rush.
At 6 PM, Li Chenglong took out a towel and wiped his sweat. He had been using his spiritual energy and life energy all afternoon, and also had to concentrate all his energy on healing the soldiers, so he was quite tired. However, even after healing for an entire afternoon, he had only used 30% of his spiritual energy, which was much easier than fighting.
Two nurses nearby reported excitedly, "Commander, we treated 87 soldiers from 2:00 PM to 5:50 PM, and all of them have been fully cured." Li Chenglong took the list, looked at it, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad. I'll come over around 1:00 PM tomorrow and try to cure as many as possible."
He then went to the dean's office, greeted Liu Lan and others, and left the Dawn Military Hospital amidst the farewells of all the soldiers. As per his arrangement, Liu Lan would organize people to contact the wounded veterans, ensuring they also came to the hospital for free treatment at the scheduled time. Those who wished to rejoin the army or return to work after their treatment would be accommodated.
When Li Chenglong returned home that evening, he found Han Xiaoling drinking a cup of hot water. After some questioning, Han Xiaoling said embarrassedly, "I have some stomach pain. It happens every time I get my period. I never thought that even as a Level 11 Awakened, I would still be troubled by menstrual cramps. Sister Li Xue helped me with treatment, but the pain still comes back every month."
Hearing Han Xiaoling say this, Li Chenglong said, "Lie down on the sofa, and I'll try to see if this life energy can cure your problem." After Han Xiaoling lay down, Li Chenglong placed his hand three centimeters away from Han Xiaoling's lower abdomen, and instantly green energy covered her lower abdomen.
The girl felt a warm sensation in her previously cold stomach, and soon the pain disappeared completely. Li Chenglong withdrew his hand: "You shouldn't have this problem again. Wash your hands and help me prepare dinner."
Han Xiaoling sat up, about to speak, when she felt a wetness on her bottom. Her face flushed red, and she quickly rushed out the door and went home. After changing her soaked sanitary napkin and underwear and cleaning herself up, she went to Li Chenglong's house. Soon after, Yun Lan and Su Qian, who was holding the baby, also returned, and the family had a happy dinner together.
