Zhou Rong, also surprised by Si Nan’s journey to find him, kissed the top of his soft black hair, his handsome face slightly red: “I’ll head back then. He seems… like he doesn’t need to return to the hospital…”
The small exposed part of Si Nan’s face showed no expression. But everyone knew his eyes were vigilantly observing every movement through the white gauze.
General Zheng considered for a moment, surprisingly relaxed: “Okay. But the research institute might need to draw some blood later, so please cooperate.”
The chief of staff frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, but was stopped by General Zheng with an almost imperceptible shake of the head.
Zhou Rong responded: “Yes, we’ll definitely cooperate.” He then signaled Yan Hao to follow and carried Si Nan out of the office area.
Yan Hao vaguely guessed something. Zhou Rong signaled the military officer to wait, squatted down, and gently pulled Si Nan’s slender fingers covered in bandages: “Rong Ge needs to take care of something, will come to see you in the ward tonight, okay?”
Si Nan lowered his head slightly, his eyes quietly facing Zhou Rong behind the white gauze.
“If you don’t come,” Si Nan said softly, “I won’t cooperate.”
This was almost a blatant threat, and the military officer’s expression immediately changed.
Zhou Rong pressed firmly on the back of Si Nan’s head, kissing his temple and laughing: “I know, when has Rong Ge ever broken a promise?”
The car drove past the long aircraft carrier island. In the distant massive parking apron, fighter jets and military helicopters were densely arranged. The aircraft group took off and circled in the blue sky, like an orderly group of seabirds, continuously transporting survivors and weapon supplies.
Some soldiers established a survivor refuge in the Northeast, while others came to the South China Sea, settling in a large artificial island and military base, establishing a new military headquarters.”
The military officer drove while diligently explaining. Zhou Rong sat in the passenger seat, one hand supporting his forehead, letting the sea breeze blow through his hair, nodding thoughtfully.
“After the base and headquarters were established, the entire military was restructured. Rescue teams began repairing communication towers, rescuing survivors and building refugee facilities. The military sacrificed countless soldiers, establishing six large refugee centers at a tremendous cost.”
