Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 360 - 359: Living Dead

After getting off the plane, a car was already there waiting to pick them up.

After driving for three hours, they entered a building, a white European-style building, with strict guards at the entrance inspecting incoming and outgoing vehicles.

Through the glass doors at the entrance, one could see medical staff in white coats coming in and out, but the building bore no signs indicating it was a hospital.

Officer Li explained, "This is our secret hospital, a place dedicated to treating and healing those injured individuals who can’t be exposed. Rest assured, the staff here is top-notch, though their identities can’t be disclosed."

Gu Xiaoqing followed Officer Li into the building.

They directly took the elevator to the third floor and stopped at the room at the end of the corridor.

Officer Li looked at Gu Xiaoqing sternly, with a gaze that even carried a hint of a severe reprimand.

It made Gu Xiaoqing wonder if she had done something wrong.

"Prepare yourself mentally. The Fang Shaohan you are about to see might be very different from the Fang Shaohan you used to know. I only hope that you don’t scare Fang Shaohan."

The meaning of those words stunned Gu Xiaoqing.

Absorbing the meaning and implications of the words, Gu Xiaoqing felt slightly dizzy, wondering what had happened to Fang Shaohan.

Officer Li reassuringly grabbed Gu Xiaoqing’s arm, steadied her, and helped her sit on a chair nearby.

She sat on the chair, feeling that all the surrounding sounds were blurry and seemed very distant, with only a sensation of alternating cold and heat, a dizzy spell, and cold sweat trickling down her back, soaking her thin shirt.

Gu Xiaoqing took deep breaths to prevent herself from collapsing when lowering her head, closing her eyes as she could hear the sound of footsteps coming and going, phones ringing, and conversations around.

In a daze, she thought, the work Fang Shaohan was doing was the most dangerous, arming himself to face the most heartbreaking details while also dealing with the overall situation.

But now it seemed she needed to be armed in this way.

Ever since she met Fang Shaohan, her life seemed to have transformed from an inspirational movie into an adventure story, with thrills and accelerated heartbeat being an inevitable encounter and process that she couldn’t avoid.

Soon, Officer Chen handed over a can of cold drink to Gu Xiaoqing.

"Drink it, you’ll feel a bit better."

Gu Xiaoqing blinked her eyes, exerted effort to open it, and gulped down a big mouthful. As the cold, sweet, thick coffee flowed down her throat, her whole spirit lifted, and the dizziness seemed to gradually drift away.

Feeling relieved, Gu Xiaoqing drank the entire can, with the sugar and ****** components helping her regain composure, and she said confidently to Officer Li, "I’m okay now."

Officer Li’s approving gaze swept over Gu Xiaoqing.

This girl was stronger than imagined, no wonder Fang Shaohan needed this person. If it were his parents, perhaps they would have fainted.

Gu Xiaoqing stood up and resolutely said, "Let’s go, I’m ready."

Whether you face it or avoid it, it’s the same.

The moment she opened the door, Gu Xiaoqing was momentarily stunned, but quickly came to her senses, replacing disbelief in her eyes with distress and surprise.

It was a room divided into two sections, and through the glass, Gu Xiaoqing could see a person completely wrapped in white bandages, revealing only a pair of eyes, lying there with an IV drip on the arm. Apart from height and build confirming it was a man, nothing else was identifiable from a distance, nor could she tell the extent of the injuries.

But the motionless appearance confirmed to Gu Xiaoqing that the person was comatose.

"What kind of injuries did he sustain?"

Gu Xiaoqing held her breath, trying to let her breathing calm down, maintain at least a semblance of peace, knowing no one could support her at that moment.

Officer Li looked at the person through the glass and said, "What I told you was simplified, but in reality, Fang Shaohan’s injuries are severe. He suffered severe injuries after the explosion and was hit by three bullets; one penetrated the lung, and another grazed the heart.

Fortunately, didn’t puncture the heart. The explosion caused fractures all over his body, with the most serious being six broken ribs, fractures in the legs, and excessive blood loss, causing ischemic anemia that kept him unconscious for a long time.

His recovery is poor, with sporadic moments of consciousness, but quickly falling back into a coma. What you need to know was asked during one of his brief cognizance periods, and we are hoping that you can provide him with mental support, help him hang in there, and wake up sooner, otherwise, it’s very dangerous.

The doctors say if this coma continues, it’s hard for him to survive and it could trigger more complications."

Gu Xiaoqing tried to let her thoughts clear up, digesting every sentence and its meaning, quickly understanding what she needed to do and the situation she was in.

Fang Shaohan’s condition was more severe than she imagined. She never thought it would be this severe. Based on her prior understanding, she only thought maybe Fang Shaohan had a fracture, at most a gunshot wound, perhaps terrifying, but she didn’t think there would be any real danger, just like those severely injured police officers in movies and TV shows.

They recover quickly, and at most, she’d serve as a nurse, providing simple care and handling, even bickering with Fang Shaohan. But this was entirely different.

The Fang Shaohan she saw was practically a living dead, with death hovering any moment. The role she must play is not merely a caregiver but life-saving support, and the responsibility suddenly magnified.

"Can I go in now?"

Even with mental preparation, the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her vulnerability, something not everyone could withstand through sheer strength.

In such moments, composure isn’t attained merely by being strong.

These are entirely different matters.

Officer Li nodded.

"After changing into sterile attire, you can go in."

They had brought Gu Xiaoqing here for this purpose and wouldn’t deny her entry.

They too hoped Fang Shaohan could wake up, recover healthily, having already paid a steep price in this mission, with several sacrifices, and Fang Shaohan being among the elites. Losing him would invoke regret in many.

It’s not just a loss of talent, but also a heartache for many.

Each mission’s outcome, arriving here, saddens Officer Li profoundly, always being the bearer of bad news, watching comrades disappear one by one with indifference, a feeling truly beyond ordinary endurance.

It’s exhausting.
