Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Hospitalized



As Xiaoyun tried to think of what happened before he blacked out, a nurse walked inside the room holding a tray.

"Mr.Mayor, you are finally awake!"

The nurse excitingly ran towards Xiaoyun as he was still trying to comprehend what had happened.

"Where am I? How long has it been?" Xiaoyun asked weakly as he could barely move his body.

"You\'re at the hospital. It has been a week since you moved in here in a coma state." The nurse replied.

"I had been in a coma for that long?"

As Xiaoyun mumbled, the nurse put the food tray in front of Xiaoyun.

"Mr.Mayor, I\'ll go call the doctor right now. You can eat the food right here."

With the nurse gone, Xiaoyun only had a food tray in front of him.

"I\'m so hungry..."

Despite the food being right before him, Xiaoyun couldn\'t eat it. He was too weak even to move it slightly.

It was almost as if his body had been disconnected from his head as he had to put all his effort into moving a single muscle slightly.

After being taunted by the food for three minutes, a person finally entered the room.

"Hello, Mr.Mayor, do you feel any better?" The doctor asked as he stood beside Xiaoyun\'s bed.

"Not really. I can barely move at all." Xiaoyun complained.

"Hm. It might be due to the gunshot wound you suffered. It was able to hit your nervous system."

"You kidding me. You mean I\'m going to be paralyzed for my entire life?"

Xiaoyun started getting increasingly nervous as he tried to remake his body, only for nothing to happen.

"No, Mr.Mayor, you won\'t be paralyzed forever. It seems your body has been slowly regrowing its nerve around the neck. Which is a miracle in itself."

"Whew, you should have told me that earlier." Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.

"But it\'s going to take a long time to heal... I\'m not even sure how long. I have never dealt with this kind of case."

"It\'s fine... By the way, how did the expedition go?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"Um, you might need to ask Mr.Yezi for that. I\'m only a doctor... Although I have seen all the soldiers had returned to the town."

"I see... can you call Yezi for me?"

"No problem, sir."

The doctor pulled out his phone and started making a phone call outside.

"Mr.Xiaoyun, do you need any help? Do you want me to call Mrs.Leyan? She had been visiting you every day." The nurse asked.

"No need... I don\'t want her to see me in this state." Xiaoyun got quieter and quieter.

"Well, she\'s most likely going to come in the afternoon... Before I go, if you need help, press this button."

The nurse moves a small red button attached to a string from the wall to his hand and then left.

"Okay, Mr.Mayor. I had called Mr.Yezi, and he\'ll be here in ten minutes... Oh my, did she put the food before you like this? Let me call her to come back——"

"It\'s fine. Do you mind moving the food to the side? I\'m not that hungry anymore."

"Of course."

After the doctor moved the food to the side, the doctor asked again.

"Anything else?"

"I\'m good."

As the doctor left the room, Xiaoyun turned slightly to see the clock.

It was only eleven, and noticing the sunlight through the window, it was clearly eleven in the morning.

After staring at the ceiling for almost fifteen minutes, someone finally entered the room.

"Xiaoyun, you are finally awake. Are you feeling any better?" Yezi asked as he sat down next to the bed.

"What do you think? I can barely move at all." Xiaoyun responded irritatedly.

"I can see that... Anyway, do you remember what happened to you?"

"All I remember is someone held me at gunpoint, and then I shot him... When I was examining a pin on his jacket, I felt a sharp pain on my neck before I blacked out."

As Xiaoyun finished speaking, Yezi reached inside his pocket.

"This pin, right?" Yezi asked as he showed it in front of Xiaoyun.

"Yes, do you know where it is from?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"Well... I asked several people, and they recognized it as the Freemason."

As Yezi put the pin on the overbed Tables, Xiaoyun got confused.

"Freemason? What\'s that?"

"A cult? Actually, it is not a cult. It\'s more of a social club? I\'m not sure about this, to be honest...

I went out and asked several people, and they all told me that it\'s more of an organization in the Western world, so I got no clue what it is doing here." Yezi shrugged.

"I see... how about the sharp pain in my neck? What was it?" Xiaoyun asked again.

"From what Lingang told me, you were shot right in the neck. Which explains how you felt the sharp pain in the neck..." Yezi paused for a second to pour himself a cup of water.

"What happened afterward?" Xiaoyun impatiently asked.

"Several soldiers came by to check, and when they found you lying on the ground, they were all panicking. Eventually, they called the medic and started trying to stop the bleeding at your neck."

As Yezi paused again to take a sip of water, Xiaoyun started to get annoyed by the pauses.

"And then? What\'s next?"

"The medic thought you were practically dead after seeing the amount of blood you leaked out, and the bullet almost ripped half of your neck.

Luckily, after a while, the bleeding stopped, and your neck started healing on its own. Eventually, Lingang decided to put you in a modified bus to carry you back to the town..."

"Where did Lingang and the army go? And how about the captives?" Xiaoyun asked the question that had been on his mind since he was in the hospital.

"They were able to transport all the captives to the new temporary zone that Yuqi set up. And I had paused the operation...

You wanted to attack the zombies in the city right after, didn\'t you? That wasn\'t in the plan." Yezi questioned Xiaoyun.

"The factions that we conquered didn\'t even stand a chance. I felt like there was it was the best opportunity to strike.

All the outside influences are gone, only us and the military... If we wait too long, the military will learn what happened and start questioning our intention."

As Xiaoyun finished his explanation, he noticed Yezi was hesitant to say something.

"What\'s wrong? You want to say something?" Xiaoyun asked.

"The military... they completely withdrew from their military base," Yezi explained.

"What? You mean they left Guangzhou completely?"

Xiaoyun\'s face was in disbelief as Yezi nodded to affirm it.

"Why would they do that? I thought that was their main base."

"I\'m not sure... Maybe they felt like their base was too hard to defend, or they had a better base elsewhere. Either way, we are the only settlement left to face the zombies from the city now."

"That\'s going to be a nightmare situation..." Xiaoyun sighed as he thought of dealing with all the zombies in the city alone.

"We\'ll cross that bridge when we come to it—no need to stress about that right now. You should be taking the time to rest. I\'ll deal with it." Yezi patted Xiaoyun on the shoulder to reassure him.

"Not like I have a choice... anyway, do you know who\'s the person that shot me? Where did it even come from?" Xiaoyun asked another question.

"I don\'t know about that. Nobody knows how you got shot... however, the bullet that we found on the ground was from a sniper bullet, and the angles it shot from matched up with a building near the edge of the town...

So yeah, you got assassinated by a particular group... might be related to the person that held you hostage, or maybe not." Yezi replied.

"So, no clue who\'s the person that shot me... Whatever, I\'m going to get revenge for that one day." Xiaoyun mumbled.

Just as Yezi and Xiaoyun were about to discuss the next step for the army and the town, the door suddenly opened.

"Oh hey, Yezi... Oh my god, honey! You finally awake!"

Leyan ran across the room excitedly and started asking questions nonstop as she sat beside Xiaoyun.

"How do you feel, honey? Is everything okay? Do you need me to help you with something? I can help you with anything..."

As Xiaoyun responded to the questions one by one, Yezi silently left the room to let the two talk privately as he closed the door.

"Honey... I know I can\'t restrict you from going on missions, but can you be more careful next time?

You know how scary it was for us when we saw you come back in a stretcher?"

Xiaoyun could feel his chest getting a little wet as tears started coming out of Leyan\'s eyes.

"I\'m sorry... It won\'t happen again. I promise."

As Leyan slowly stopped sobbing, she decided to speak up again.

"Honey, can you promise me something?"

"What is it?" Xiaoyun decided to ask what it was rather than promising it blindly.
