Chapter 555 - 251: Battle Beneath the Wall
Nowadays, after undergoing several months of intensive training in Ambush Fist and grappling combat techniques at Jinbang, Gu Ji’s close combat skills have improved significantly, rising more than just a notch compared to before, surpassing the level when he had the small combat mark.
Without blocking, and his feet remaining still, his upper body swayed like a pendulum, pivoting to the left with his waist as the axis.
The clawing attack from the South Korean man in front of him seemed fierce, but it missed by a hair, too forceful, causing him to stumble to the triage desk and then start coughing violently.
[The items and privileges you are carrying have been delivered. Open the backpack to view them.]
[Crisis begins!]
[Please choose your initial reward!]
[Language Specialization (Major)] or [3M 6200 Chemical Gas Mask Set + Fully Enclosed Biohazard Suit *1]
The crisis began so quickly?
"Cough cough cough..."
Hearing the violent coughing of the South Korean uncle who had just attacked him, Gu Ji instinctively retreated, raising his hand to realize he was still holding a black leather briefcase in his left hand.
[Language Specialization (Major)]: You will master the languages of all major countries in the world, and fully understand the local linguistic history, culture, and basic professional fields.
[3M Chemical Bioprotective Suit *1]: Can fully protect respiratory organs, eyes, and face from harmful agents, biological warfare agents, bacteria, and radioactive dust; wearing it, you will no longer fear a biohazard~
Both things are very practical.
But for Gu Ji now, he needs the language more.
Because the foreign languages he memorized by rote were limited to those commonly used in the United Nations, and most he could only understand, not speak, he urgently needed a language imprint to facilitate communication with checkpoint characters.
Otherwise, he would be like playing a game without Xia script, completely clueless.
A yellow light descended.
This was the first time Gu Ji had seen a yellow-level imprint.
In an instant, his brain felt like it was suddenly connected to the internet, with countless pieces of information and data flooding into his memory.
Even more miraculous, the surrounding birdsong quickly transformed into something as fluent as his native language.
[New Objective: Discover and Report Public Health Crisis!]
Compared to the mission objective.
What Gu Ji actually cared more about was the message that Wa Xueming sent before entering the checkpoint.
Although he hadn’t fully understood its content, that sentence "May human glory endure forever" suddenly struck a chord with him.
Wasn’t this exactly the slogan shouted by a daredevil on a motorcycle who attacked with a liquefied gas bomb during Jinbang training?
Could it be that the village attack incident in Bian Ga was controlled by Liangben?
Gu Ji pondered repeatedly and felt the likelihood was low.
First, based on the features of the main culprits in the 10.16 major case, they completely did not match the daredevils from the Bian Ga area.
Or rather, they are simply not on the same level.
The former at most could be called criminal offense, while the latter posed far greater harm than the former.
Secondly, all the daredevils, without exception, spoke unintelligible languages, making communication impossible with Sun Hengfei, Zhao Wenwu, or even Japan.
So why would an organization completely unrelated to them utter the exact same slogan as the Japanese Yakuza before their death?
"May human glory endure forever" — what does this phrase signify?
"Asibah, how dare you treat my father like this, do you want to die! Ah!"
Just as Gu Ji was lost in thought, another younger man’s voice came, pointing at his face, swearing.
He glanced around.
He saw the uncle coughing at the triage desk, wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket. His hair was somewhat gray, accompanied by two family members, a woman and a man, apparently his wife and child, and the person who just swore at him was the son of the white-haired uncle.
"Gentlemen, please do not scuffle in the emergency room; it will affect other patients, otherwise, I will have to call security!"
The nurse saw the situation getting out of hand and hurriedly stepped between them, raising her voice to remind them.
Although the white-haired uncle was coughing violently, he didn’t forget to curse fluently at Gu Ji.
"Asibah, cough cough... It’s this guy suddenly cutting in line, aiyee~ Dressed in a suit, looking like a social elite, how could he do such a thing!"
Only now did he understand why the other party was so aggressive towards him.
It turned out to be because he cut in line.
Gu Ji, though unclear about the causes and effects, no longer wanted to be entangled with the other person; it was hindering his observation and analysis, and the other’s violent coughing might just be one of the sources of infection for this checkpoint!
Thinking of this, he casually apologized, but his steps retreated more swiftly.
"Ahisibah, people like this are really annoying!"
"Uncle, please don’t get angry, it’s not good for your health. May I ask where you’re feeling unwell?"
"I just feel pain all over, and often cough. I usually feel somewhat stuffy when breathing!"
"Please don’t worry, let me first measure your temperature and blood pressure."
With that, the nurse took out a thermometer and blood pressure monitor from the triage desk, instructing the uncle to sit on a high stool.
Seeing a doctor in the emergency room is slightly different from a regular outpatient visit.
Nurses at the triage desk will briefly inquire about symptoms, measure vital signs like temperature, breathing, blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation, then assign you to the corresponding department based on the type and severity of the illness.
