Lu Yuan always felt that even if he really died one day, he would have to die in a blazing way. Dying because of lack of money for medical treatment would be too depressing.
When the warship finally arrived at the main planet of Salilan and landed smoothly in front of the largest medical center in the imperial capital, Lu Yuan had already fallen into a semi-comatose state due to the snake venom. His hair was soaked with sweat, his cold brows were wrinkled in pain, and he began to shiver uncontrollably. He uttered a few unclear words with difficulty:
“Cold… so cold…”
Justu looked down at Lu Yuan's naked body and frowned unconsciously. He raised his hand to unbutton his military jacket and said to Yoriga, "Hurry and carry him down."
Yoriga was stunned when he heard this, and instantly became a frightened groundhog: "You are crazy, he hasn't taken a bath in five days!"
Yusitu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Will you carry me on your back?"
Yoriga was still angry with him, scratching his hair in annoyance: "Damn it, don't talk to me like that! You haven't settled the score for cheating me just now, so you have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Justu clenched his fists until they cracked when he heard that. He originally wanted to deal with Yoriga, but seeing that Lu Yuan's condition was really bad, he finally decided to send him to the hospital first.
On the planet Salilanfa, the bodies of female insects cannot be seen by the opposite sex, otherwise their reputation will be terrible. Yusitu took off his military uniform and put it on Lu Yuan, wrapping his upper body, and then carried him off the battleship.
Lu Yuan barely had a trace of consciousness left. He lay on Justu's back, opened his eyelids with difficulty, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he couldn't resist the dizziness that came over his brain and fainted completely.
The medical center had received a distress message from the team four hours ago, saying that a male insect bitten by a mutant was found in the dense forest of Solitia and his vital signs were worrying.
Yusitu was originally planning to apologize, but upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed and he looked at him unkindly: "Complain? What's the reason for the complaint? Or is the life of a female insect cheap and not worth the surgery you personally perform?"
When the medical director heard that a male insect was injured, he immediately arranged an operating room and a separate ward, and personally greeted them at the door with his assistants. When they saw Justu coming with a male insect whose face could not be seen clearly, they immediately stepped forward to help lift Lu Yuan onto the medical bed.
Justu shook his head. "The gene database didn't find any information. We initially speculated that it might be a new variant. We injected him with a C30-4 injection on the way here, and he didn't take any other medications."
Seeing this, Yoriga secretly pulled Justu and said in a low voice: "That's enough Justu, don't cause trouble. The headquarters just sent a message urging us to return to the team."
Yoriga peeked in from behind and quickly added, "He has lost his memory and doesn't remember anything. Can you help him restore his memory?"
Seeing this, Yoriga whistled: "Seventh Prince, you are so generous."
Justusu subconsciously glanced at the micro-terminal on his wrist when he heard this, and then he found the message of returning to the team. He was about to leave the hospital with Yoriga, but after walking two steps, he remembered something and went back to the front desk. He took out a blue translucent star card from his wallet and threw it on the table: "The medical expenses of the female insect just sent in will be paid on this card."
Yoriga and the others could only nod reluctantly.
The following sentence is full of sarcasm.
The medical director was furious: "You bunch of damned soldiers, do you think it's fun to play tricks on me?! I deliberately turned down three meetings to come for the surgery, and you actually told me that he is not a male insect?! Who is your superior? I must file a complaint against you!"
The medical director choked when he heard this, and finally turned away in frustration: "I don't bother to care about you!"
Yoriga shrugged: "Hey, don't count on my brother. Haven't you heard that the richer the worm, the stingier it is?"
The medical director habitually opened Lu Yuan's eyes to check the dilation of his pupils. When he found Lu Yuan's rare black eyes, he frowned and said "Huh", then untied the gauze on his leg and found the wound that had been simply treated: "Do you know what mutant bit him?"
The medical director was stunned when he heard this. He subconsciously looked in the direction where Lu Yuan went and exclaimed in shock: "What?! He is not a male insect?!"
Justu glanced at him coldly: "Perhaps I should let you pay, after all, Lord O'Hara is the treasurer of the empire?"
On the other side, Lu Yuan had been pushed into the operating room. His body was no longer cold, but had a high fever. When he touched it, it was incredibly hot, and his breathing became rapid.
The instrument next to him beeped and the red light swept up and down, scanning Lu Yuan's body data into a picture and projecting it onto the display screen.
The medical director said to his assistant, "Hurry up and push him into the operating room. Call Dr. Cobo."
The medical director was about to follow him into the operating room, but when he turned around, he saw Yustu and the others looking at him with hesitation. He sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Justu paused, and finally decided to tell the truth. He couldn't hide it anyway: "Sorry, there was an error when we reported the information. He is actually a female insect."
The medical director changed into surgical gowns and began to methodically extract blood samples from Lu Yuan's wounds. He asked his assistant to take them for testing for toxins and injected several injections of drugs to help stabilize his vital signs.
Male insects have no wings due to genetic degeneration, and their skeletal structure is very different from that of female insects, but infinitely closer to that of human males. So when Lu Yuan's skeletal image appeared on the display, it was almost indistinguishable from that of a male insect.
The medical director was originally cleaning the infected tissue around Lu Yuan's wound when he glanced at it carelessly. As a result, he almost dropped his knife in shock and cursed angrily, "These damned soldiers, they sent me a male insect, and they dared to lie to me!"
Although Lu Yuanzhong's venom was a new type of snake venom, the Imperial Capital Center gathered almost all the top elites in the medical field. In addition, with rich drug resources, they quickly found a snake venom serum that could be used as a substitute.
When the last injection of medicine was given, Lu Yuan's vital signs finally returned to normal.
"Send her to the intensive care unit, monitor her health data 24 hours a day, and notify me immediately if there is any emergency."
After the medical director said this, he walked out of the operating room, only to find a middle-aged female insect standing outside waiting. She was wearing a neat military uniform with four military stars on her epaulettes.
The medical director knew him well, so he walked up to him and asked, "Admiral Safir, why are you here?" Admiral Safir smiled when he saw him come out, but his eyes went through his shoulder and curiously looked at the man lying inside: "The military academy is on holiday today, so I came here for a physical examination. I heard that you received a male insect rescued from the restricted area. How is the situation?"
The medical director took off his mask and had a headache. "He was bitten by a new type of mutated snake venom, but we currently have no way to catch the snake that bit him to extract serum. We can only use universal serum to temporarily suppress the toxin. So far, it seems that the effect is not bad."
Admiral Safir frowned slightly upon hearing this and fell into deep thought: "The search team said that the male insect stayed in the most polluted area for five days. I don't know if it's true or not. Have you checked his body and blood?"
"Of course it's fake. Don't believe those soldiers who are full of lies. A fragile male insect can't survive in the restricted area for five minutes, let alone five days."
Just then, the assistant pushed Lu Yuan out of the operating room. The medical director asked them for a copy of the test data and flipped through it while saying, "We checked him out. There's nothing wrong with his health at the moment, but the purity of his blood... I can't tell you right now."
Admiral Safir frowned: "Is he seriously infected?"
"No, on the contrary," the medical director shook his head and handed him the information in his hand. He pointed to one line of data and said, "Not only is he not contaminated, but he is very healthy. Look, the blood purity is 100%..."
Before he finished speaking, Admiral Safir's hands trembled and he almost stumbled. He stared in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?!"
The medical director sighed helplessly: "Relax, of course it's fake. Currently, the male insect with the highest blood purity in the empire is only 56%."
Admiral Safire pointed at the 100% shown on the data and was speechless for a long time. He rarely lost his composure: "Then... then..."
The medical director took the information back and tucked it under his armpit. He adjusted his thick glasses and said, "There are two possibilities. First, the hospital's equipment is broken. Second, the snake venom affected the test of his blood purity, causing the data to be biased. However, since the equipment was newly replaced, the chance of damage is very small, so the second possibility is the only one left."
He raised his eyes and looked at Admiral Safir, as if he knew what the other was thinking. He shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "It will never be possible for the Empire to have 100% pure-blooded male insects. That is the punishment from the Insect God for us not cherishing our homeland. You know it, and I know it too..."
"Unless one day you can completely remove the polluted source stone, it means that the insect god is finally willing to forgive his people..."
Being hospitalized is never a wonderful experience, at least for Lu Yuan. He just felt like he had a very long dream, and he wanted to open his eyes and wake up countless times, but it was as if there were two heavy stones pressing on his eyelids, and he couldn't open them.
I could hear intermittent conversations.
"This lady is so beautiful... but it's a pity that she hasn't woken up yet..."
"Is he really a male insect... The back of his neck... The insect pattern..."
"Maybe it's... a birthmark... a pattern..."
"Stop chatting... I have to go to the next room to check..."
There was a sound of a door closing, and the surroundings became quiet again.
Lu Yuan moved his fingertips with difficulty, and finally gathered a little strength to open his eyes, and a ray of dazzling sunlight came into his sight. He closed his eyes subconsciously, and waited for a long time before opening them again. This time, he focused his vision and finally saw the surrounding environment clearly.
Lu Yuan was in a luxurious ward at this time. The white decoration was bright and comfortable. There was a vase of fresh, dewy flowers on the bedside, and even the air was fragrant.
There were needles on the back of his hand, and on the medicine rack above him were several IV bottles to maintain his body's energy, which were dripping at an astonishingly slow speed.
Lu Yuan supported himself with his hands and slowly got up from the bed. He looked at the empty ward, then looked down at the hospital gown on his body and found that it was relatively clean, probably because someone had cleaned it.
"anyone there?"
Lu Yuan subconsciously wanted to call for help, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't even make a sound. He frowned and looked around, but he didn't find a kettle or a cup. There was a dial instrument button at the head of the bed, but it was colorful and he didn't dare to press it casually.
Damn it.
Lu Yuan was so thirsty that he simply pulled out the needle in his hand, dragged his injured leg and slowly moved out of the ward, wanting to find medical staff. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a hot female wearing a pink miniskirt twisting her waist and walking past him.
That’s right, sub-female.
Yoriga once told Lu Yuan on the battleship that in addition to the two types of creatures, female and male insects, the planet Salilanfa also has a creature called sub-female.
This creature has breasts and a butt, and looks no different from women on Earth, but that can't hide the fact that their penis is bigger than yours.
When Lu Yuan saw her walking past him, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch: "..."
Most male insects prefer soft and petite sub-females, and do not like hard female insects. The sub-female noticed Lu Yuan's gaze and glared at him with disdain. She accidentally saw the insect pattern on the back of his neck and thought he was a female insect. She snorted and said, "What are you looking at, you rogue insect! You won't have a good figure like mine no matter how you look at me!"
Lu Yuan thought to himself, look at you, you look like everyone has the same problem.
