CH 190

Lin Wen immersed himself in busy work, but it still couldn't alleviate the anxiety in his heart.

For some unknown reason, there were particularly many critically ill patients in this batch.

After all-out efforts to save them, there were still over 200 people in critical condition, with 50 on the verge of death, and the hospital issued a critical illness notice.

Lin Wen saw their struggling breaths and felt distressed.

But his divine power was only at 3%, unable to use any spells.

He could use the power of good karma, but only once, and after using it, his Daoist state would return to its lowest level, resulting in more harm than good.

After finishing his daily care work, Lin Wen went to the intensive care unit. Among the 256 girls, he looked at each one and kept murmuring, "Hold on, hold on, good girl."

"You must hold on."

"Nurse, what does it mean when this curve flattens?"

"Nurse, why did the machine make an extra sound just now?"

"Nurse, I think the drip should be increased by 0.618 milliliters to achieve the golden ratio."

Lin Wen didn't notice that the nurses who came each time were different. They patiently explained each reason to Lin Wen and were not annoyed by his astonishment.

When the period of exhaustion passed, Lin Wen lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

When he woke up and checked, his divine power was at 15%, the highest level of his Daoist state.

Calculating in his mind, he should be able to use three spells. If he acted quickly, he should be able to save 150 people.

Lin Wen jumped off the bed, not even noticing that the place where he slept had changed. He rushed into the intensive care unit and looked around. Fortunately, there were no empty beds, indicating that no girls had died.

He immediately took out the candy beans and shouted, "The goods have arrived."

The hospital director and chief rushed in immediately, forcefully pushing the nurses aside, causing a commotion and angry shouts.

Lin Wen looked at them and said, "As usual, you know, right?"

A uniform response came, "We know."

They immediately adjusted the layout of the ward, arranging the 150 most critical patients into a perfect mathematical matrix, allowing Lin Wen to touch each patient as quickly as possible and move without any obstacles.

Lin Wen took a deep breath, planned the route in advance, walked to the top of the matrix, took out the candy beans, extended his right hand, and touched the forehead of the girl in front of him, who was pale and thin like a skeleton.

His left hand quickly stuffed the candy bean into her mouth. Her breathing visibly stabilized, her heartbeat became regular, the irregular heart rhythm and slight atrial fibrillation shown on the instruments disappeared, and a hint of color appeared on her face.

Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, as if feeling the long-lost warmth. A faint smile appeared on her lips, more like an angel who had come to the mortal world rather than a dried-up corpse.

1, 2, 3.

Lin Wen silently counted for 3 seconds in his heart, then swiftly raised his hand and pressed it on another girl's head, while his left hand took out a candy and stuffed it into her mouth.

The chief doctor rushed over and surrounded the first girl without disturbing Lin Wen.

"Blood pressure is gradually rising!"

"Heart rhythm has returned to sinus!"

"Breathing is normal!"

"Pupillary reflex has returned!"

"Miracle, it's a miracle!" The chief doctor shouted in excitement. Although he had seen it many times before, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The empire has finally put biotechnology on the right track!"

"Yes, this kind of medicine should be developed more. Stop messing around with things like Nine-tailed Fox, Three-headed Dog, or Eight-headed Snake."

"How did they achieve this? The human body is the most complex system, and we still haven't fully understood its fundamental operation."

"Yes, it's not strange to have one or two individual effects, but what's rare is this comprehensive recovery. The medicine seems to have achieved perfect harmony with the human body, producing only positive effects without any side effects."

A chief physician murmured, "I feel like there was no process at all, it worked instantly, like immortal magic."

"Don't waste time, quickly record all the indicators!"

"If you miss half a second, don't expect to be selected next year."

Lin Wen's movements were extremely fast, not even half a second could be wasted. The spells only lasted for 159 seconds. Even if he was just 1 second faster, he could let one more person enjoy the effects of the spell for 1 second.

159 seconds passed in an instant. This time, Lin Wen performed exceptionally well, treating a total of 52 girls. Only 2 seconds were wasted during the transition, and one girl enjoyed the effects of the spell for 1 second.

Lin Wen took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and began another round of rapid touches.

This time, Lin Wen surpassed his limits and saved 53 girls, wasting only 1 second.

But in the last round, he could only reach 52 people, and one person only enjoyed 2 seconds of treatment.

Lin Wen hated himself. His skills didn't reach their peak. He wasted 1 second in the first round, resulting in a missing second in the last round. Otherwise, this girl could have fully recovered.

Fortunately, he saved the most critical 157 people. There were less than 100 people left, and their conditions were slightly lighter, with a higher chance of survival.

Lin Wen looked at the 157 recovered people, who were in a brightly lit area, while a group of chief doctors held various instruments and frantically recorded various data. The 100 people who hadn't recovered stayed in the dark corner, ignored by everyone.

One side was like heaven, while the other was still in hell.

And he stood on this dividing line.

By evening, despite all-out efforts to save them, six people died from severe bedsores that had become infected, as well as multiple organ failure caused by long-term hunger and malnutrition.Lin Wen watched as the six young girls were pushed out, their faces devoid of any signs of life, only the remnants of torment remained.

They came to the mortal realm with hope, but they left in such a way.

Is it fair?

No, it's unfair.

Is there a solution?

No, there isn't.

There are only limited resources, and sharing them equally means that no one receives complete treatment. Short contact time would only waste more of Lin Wen's time on a busier path, and the end result would only be worse.

No.

Lin Wen suddenly clenched his fists.

No, that's not right.

It's because I'm not strong enough.

If I were strong enough.

If I had a spiritual power of 200 or 300.

This wouldn't happen.

No one would suffer.

There would be no more tragedies, no more regrets.

All the unhappiness, unwillingness, and resentment would disappear.

So, the fundamental reason for not achieving all this is.

I'm not strong enough!

A few days later.

Yu Nong called for the fourth time, demanding that Lin Wen fulfill his promise and grant unconditional inspection exemption to all the goods of the Tianlong Trading Group.

His tone was quite severe, indicating that he had reached his limit.

Lin Wen only said one word: "Okay."

Then, he activated his Seven Aperture Linglong Heart.

After a while, Yu Nong hung up the phone satisfied and drove all the off-road vehicles in the base out.

Each off-road vehicle was loaded with goods, like carrying a mountain, heading towards Huai Town, the only commercial town in Changshan County.

The Governor was in a hurry, the resistance army in the Gannan region of Rock State was fierce, and Chang Shengkai had sent four troops to besiege them. Three of the troops were slacking off halfway because the Governor's military pay was insufficient.

Seeing that the resistance army's momentum was growing, Chang Shengkai was extremely worried that the Elder Council would find out and think that Rock State could still cause trouble at such a time, unable to stabilize the situation, making him incompetent.

So he was particularly anxious and had already sent urgent messages to Yu Nong three or four times, each time with a more severe tone.

Yu Nong knew that he couldn't wait any longer. After obtaining Lin Wen's assurance, he immediately took half of the goods out. If these bumpy cigarettes could be sold smoothly, he would receive at least 1 billion in returns.

The price of bumpy cigarettes in the underground market in the eastern part of the empire had risen by at least 30%. If they could be sold slowly, the absolute profit would be even higher.

But there was no time now, he had to collect the money as soon as possible to meet the Governor's demands.

Otherwise, not only would his position be difficult to maintain, but his life might also be in danger.

However, while counting the goods and preparing for the second round of transportation, Yu Nong soon received bad news.

The convoy of the Tianlong Trading Group was surrounded by the garrison troops of Changshan County shortly after leaving the mountains. Due to the huge disparity in strength, the entire army was wiped out in an instant, and all the goods were destroyed on the spot.

"What?"

Yu Nong felt as if the world was spinning, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He found himself sitting on the grandmaster's chair, with a few subordinates fanning him and applying ice packs.

He pushed them away, grabbed a messenger, and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the news before collapsing to the ground.

He couldn't believe it. Sheriff Lin had clearly had a pleasant conversation with him on the phone, praising the large number of girls he had sent, completely satisfying his needs. He was very grateful and hoped for deeper cooperation with Rock State in the future, and so on.

Everything was going well, and there were no unexpected events. Why, why did he suddenly turn his back on him in an instant?

That little bastard must have gone crazy.

Didn't he know that by doing this, he was directly turning against Rock State?

He was just an independent county now, with internal and external enemies, extremely weak, and should have been building good relations with neighboring counties.

Rock State was located southwest of Changshan County, directly adjacent to it. Wasn't he afraid of retaliation from the Governor?

Before deciding to cooperate with Changshan County, Governor Chang had consulted Elder Cheng.

Elder Cheng clearly told him that the kid was not a supporter of the emperor. He had no roots or factions now, and the emperor only protected him for the sake of his authority, without deeper contact.

The princess faction even openly declared that they had no connection with that kid, and the princess didn't give him any gifts.

Even if she did, it was only because she saw his previous status as a hero of the empire and gave him an ordinary gift, nothing more.

In this case, the kid not only had no backing, but also offended a lot of people. Shouldn't he be trying to get closer to Governor Chang at this time?

Why?

Why did it turn out like this?

After a while, he jumped up.

"No, that little bastard has gone too far. I have to tell the Governor, I have to kill him!"

He immediately dialed the special phone number of the Governor's Mansion in Rock State.

After a while, he got in touch with Governor Chang Shengkai.

Just as he was spitting while describing the crazy behavior of the little bastard to the Governor, one of his subordinates suddenly pointed to the sky.

"Look, that cloud is flying so fast."

"Boss Yu, look, that cloud is really strange."

Yu Nong covered the satellite phone and scolded angrily, "Get out of my sight, can't you see that I'm on the phone with the Governor?"

However, more and more subordinates were looking up at the sky. Yu Nong felt a little strange and also looked up.

He saw a cloud with a diameter of three meters falling rapidly towards them.

Yu Nong was stunned for a moment, not even noticing that the Governor was cursing at him on the phone, "Damn it, Yu Nong, do you not want to work anymore?"

The white cloud descended from the sky and landed among them. The mist dissipated, and in the next moment, a dazzling white light engulfed the world.Far away in the Governor's Mansion of Rock State, Chang Shengkai could only hear continuous screams coming from the phone.

"Ah, my eyes!"

"What is this thing!"

"I'm going blind!"

Then there was a thud, like the muffled sound of a watermelon bursting.

The thudding sounds continued, first close to the ear, then gradually fading away, until no sound could be heard anymore.

After a long while, it seemed that someone picked up the phone.

"Huh, there's a satellite phone here, perfect, it's mine now."

With a click, the call was hung up.

With a loud bang, Chang Shengkai smashed the phone on the table.
