Urban Super Soldier King
Chapter 2021 - 2122: A Glimmer of Hope
Arriving in Long Wu’s room, looking at her lying quietly there, Xiang Yu felt an indescribable sadness.
Xiang Yu had always understood Long Wu’s feelings for him, he just didn’t dare to accept them.
Sitting by Long Wu’s bedside, looking at her lying quietly there, Xiang Yu held her hand and placed it on his face.
"Xiao Wu, please wake up. Let’s retreat to the mountains and live the life you’ve always wanted..."
Xiang Yu talked to Long Wu for quite a while, but she just lay there quietly, showing no sign of waking up. Of course, Xiang Yu didn’t expect much.
About half an hour later, Xiang Yu walked out of the room and then looked at Liu Yuhang, asking, "Tell me the truth, can Long Wu still wake up?"
Liu Yuhang felt troubled, not knowing how to respond.
"Just be honest." Xiang Yu smiled faintly.
"Brother Yu, given our current scientific capabilities, we’re powerless. We’re researching a solution, but it’s unlikely we’ll discover anything soon. I sent someone to America, and they’ve never encountered this kind of situation. Theoretically..."
Liu Yuhang hesitated, unable to continue.
"Just say it." Xiang Yu said straightforwardly.
"Theoretically, Long Wu is already dead. I don’t know why she still shows signs of life. Maybe it’s a miracle."
Liu Yuhang was reluctant to tell the truth, but he didn’t want to deceive Xiang Yu.
A buzzing sound suddenly filled Xiang Yu’s mind. Even though he was prepared, hearing Liu Yuhang’s words was still hard to accept.
"Brother Yu, are you okay?" Liu Yuhang quickly supported Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu waved his hand, saying, "I’m fine."
Just then, Xiao Xuan and Wu Jing came up, just in time to see Xiang Yu nearly fall. Xiao Xuan hurried over and said, "Brother..."
"I’m fine. Good timing, you two. Let’s talk inside." Xiang Yu said, then entered a large office.
He first looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, I might have to leave for a while. The world is vast; there must be a way to save Long Wu. I need to find it, you..."
"Brother, I’ve already decided. Wherever you go, I will follow, so you don’t have to worry about me." Xiao Xuan said firmly.
Xiang Yu believed Xiao Xuan meant what he said, then nodded and looked at Wu Jing, asking, "What are your plans?"
Hearing Xiang Yu ask this, Wu Jing was suddenly at a loss. What plans did he have? He had never considered this before. For a long time, he had been following Xiang Yu’s path.
Whether it was coming to Little Ba, or developing power here, it was all at Xiang Yu’s will.
"Brother Yu, I want to follow you." Wu Jing said sincerely.
During his time in Little Ba, he had always appeared as a coach, while the position of highest leader had always been Xiang Yu’s. Now, with Xiang Yu suddenly saying he wanted to leave, Wu Jing was a bit flustered.
Xiang Yu smiled, then patted Wu Jing on the shoulder, saying, "You should stay here, like Zhuzi, guard our base. So when we come back, we have a place to settle."
Wu Jing understood Xiang Yu’s intention, so he didn’t argue much and nodded, saying, "Brother Yu, you will always be the leader here. No matter when you come back, this position is yours."
Xiang Yu didn’t say much more, then looked at Liu Yuhang, saying, "Take good care of Long Wu. I will find a way to save her."
Xiang Yu explained a lot of things to them, specifically instructing Wu Jing to act low-key and ensure good relations with the local government and military, avoiding any conflicts.
Xiang Yu didn’t go to the base, but he believed the base Jackson built must be secure.
Xiang Yu and the others sat there talking until it was very late, and eventually Wu Jing went back to rest.
Liu Yuhang sat there, looking as if he wanted to say something. Xiang Yu could tell he had something on his mind, so he didn’t stop him, saying, "Is there anything else?"
"Brother Yu, are you really planning to find a way to save Long Wu?" Liu Yuhang asked.
Xiang Yu immediately sat up straight, asking, "Do you have a way?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan quickly leaned in as well, looking seriously at Liu Yuhang.
Even though Xiang Yu didn’t show it, Xiao Xuan knew that Xiang Yu was in more pain than death. If Long Wu couldn’t be saved, Xiang Yu would live in guilt.
Liu Yuhang didn’t hide anything and said, "I remember my father once said that he learned his medical skills from someone. Back when I was just born, our family was poor. He went hunting in the mountains and encountered someone who was severely injured and dying, whom my father saved."
"After saving him, my father went to the mountain to gather herbs as instructed by this person, treating him daily. Within a month, he was healed. To thank my father, that man taught him some medical skills. At the time, my father didn’t take it seriously and forgot about it. That man left after thanking my father."
"When I was three, I suddenly contracted a strange illness. My father took me to many hospitals, and the doctors all said I wouldn’t make it, telling my father to prepare for the worst. At that time, he too had lost hope, but then he suddenly remembered the medical skills that man had taught him three years earlier and tried them as a last resort. In the end, he saved me. It was then he realized that the person he saved was truly skilled."
"From then on, my father began to learn medicine and studied the methods taught by that man. But because three years had passed, he forgot much of it, only remembering small bits, which he passed on to me. What I learned was even less."
Xiang Yu and Xiao Xuan listened attentively, feeling like they were hearing a fantastical tale.
"Are you telling a joke?" Xiao Xuan said in disbelief.
Liu Yuhang gave an embarrassed smile, saying, "This is what my father told me. Whether it’s true, I don’t know."
"Is the ointment you developed learned from that person?" Xiang Yu asked.
Liu Yuhang’s ointment was miraculous. Any external wound on the body healed quickly without leaving a scar when applied, something even modern technology couldn’t achieve.
Liu Yuhang nodded, saying, "Yes, it was something my father learned from that master."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu suddenly had hope. The world is vast, and what they understood was just a fraction. Masters are among the people, and true masters disdain worldly things.
"Brother Yu, my father was a bit mysterious. Whether what he said is true, I don’t know. He liked to brag." Liu Yuhang gave an embarrassed smile.
"Where is your father? Can’t we just ask him?" Xiao Xuan pursued.
Liu Yuhang sighed and shook his head, saying, "He left us a year ago..."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu felt deep sorrow. When his good friend’s father passed away, he didn’t even return to offer condolences, truly a failure of duty.
"I’m sorry, Yuhang..."
"Brother Yu, don’t say that. You are my elder brother, our benefactor. Without you, there would be no Liu Yuhang today. Before he passed, my father repeatedly told me to always follow you, no matter what..."
