Ch36.1 - Gradual Clarity

Editor: Namy

Husband and husband hand in hand!

There is a special kind of temperature and sterilization system in the intensive care unit which makes many people feel restless. Therefore, after the situation gradually stabilized, the doctor left first, and there were only Zhou Mian and Ford in the ward, each guarding one of the patients.

Cecil and Ellen rested on a bench outside the glass wall, guarding the people inside as well.

There was complete silence.

Casper had been reporting to Cecil that the federal capital people had gathered outside the hospital to demonstrate with a banner which said that Cecil should not get seduced by the “cultists” and demanded that the cultists spare Major General Gu, who had dedicated his life to the Federation.

Cecil thought to himself, fortunately, the sound insulation effect on this floor is good, even if the sky has been turned upside down, it would still look peaceful.

Cecil also asked Mingyan to issue an official statement explaining in detail why he did so, as well as Gu Xingzhi’s situation.

Although everyone involved is from the higher echelons this time, it is not easy to make the common people understand, but the officials can not fail in making an official statement on time.

After the statement came out, Starnet was even more confused.

Dark Phoenix sent someone to stir up the waters on the StarNet, misinterpreting the official statement, and combined with the previous Zhou Mian’s Hong Luoluo incident, it created an even greater panic.

Casper said: “The people are getting out of control… Admiral, do you want to come down and stabilize the situation?”

The people outside the hospital were getting even more agitated.

Cecil said, “The king’s husband and the marshal have been downstairs to pacify them, but it has no effect, so what is the use of me going?”

This… mainly the royals or marshal couple usually stay away from government affairs, and their credibility is not that great.

Cecil looked at the situation inside.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to deal with the chaos downstairs, it’s just… At this moment, he was unwilling to leave Zhou Mian and Gu Xingzhi, and he was afraid that something would happen inside.

“It’s all right.” Ellen advised, “The situation here has stabilized…”

Ellen smiled and said, “Gu Xingzhi will be fine, you can go down and have a look.” Each floor of the hospital was guarded by the Twelfth Army and three of the entrances were heavily guarded against the agitated people outside desperately trying to break in.

Cecil originally wanted to appease most of the people, but not long after he came out, he saw the owner of the Gu family, the old general who came with the Gu family army to get his son back.

The owner of the Gu family, the middle-aged man who looked as fierce and indifferent as Gu Xingzhi, sat in the tall mech, opened a loudspeaker and shouted: “Admiral Cecil, hand over Xingzhi, he is the eldest son of the Gu family, and we should bear everything.” The leader of the house talked very politely and gave Cecil enough face.

The head of the family, like the marshal and his wife, was once brilliant, but now he has retired from the political arena, but despite this, the Gu family’s military strength is still there.

At this moment, Gu JiaJun was holding a weapon in his hand, and he also drove a row of mechs just behind the sea of people surrounding the hospital.

Cecil gave Casper a look and told him to be ready to fight.

The marshal, his wife and the king’s husband had been sent away, and Cecil looked at the shouting people in front of him, and then at the family army, only to feel a headache oncoming.

The sword is rattled and ready to go.

Cecil pulled aside the Twelfth Army guarding the gate and strode out to meet the angry crowd and Gu JiaJun : “I use my surname to guarantee that Admiral Zhou’s phytotherapy will definitely cure Xingzhi. Give us another night and Gu Xingzhi will recover! If General Gu insists on snatching the person back, it will hurt Xing Zhi!”

Cecil also laughed and said at Gu Jiajun’s direction, “For the sake of Xing Zhi and his adjutants, for the sake of my soldiers, I don’t mind going to war with General Gu here.” The Gu family lord frowned slightly.

Subsequently, he decided to stir up the emotions of the crowd.

“Please return Major General Gu! I can’t accept that Gu Shao will become your test subject, like a white mouse!” The crowd shouted excitedly, and even had slogans, demanding that Cecil return Gu Xingzhi.

“Put an end to cults! Eliminate herbs! Return Major General Gu!”

“Put an end to cults! Eliminate herbs! Return Major General Gu!”

……

In this uniform cry, the Gu family lord also said: “In our time, soldiers were the foundation of the Federation and the people’s dependence. If General Cecil insists on listening to General Zhou’s advice to let the herbs slowly run rampant and poison our soldiers, you will harm the Federation.”

“Boom!” Cecil sneered and plunged his sword into the ground.

The ground was asphalted, but Cecil’s strength directly submerged the iron sword into the ground, and a harsh and sharp sound startled everyone, making the people in front of him suddenly quiet.

“I hurt the Federation?” Cecil lifted the corners of his lips and shouted to the crowd, “Whoever present here thinks I will harm the Federation, whoever thinks I am a sinner of the Federation, just shout to me! Keep shouting! “

“…”

The shouting gradually subsided.

Cecil was the god of the Federation, and no matter how bad the situation was at the moment, no one dared to directly deny him.

“I hope you remember that I am General Cecil, who leads the Union Army! If the herbs are going to harm people, will I allow general Zhou to use it?!”

“I grew up with Gu Xingzhi, lived and almost died together with him on the battlefield, will I harm him? Will the Federation be disregarded by me?! Or is it that in your eyes, I am a brainless general, as long as someone looks good, he is worth my life and death, right?” Cecil has always been indulgent, he is different from Zhou Mian, Zhou Mian will dodge and not explain in the face of the crowd’s doubts, because he does not care.

But Cecil is not Zhou Mian, he has self-confidence and the capital. He will not let himself and all those around him be even half wronged.

At this moment, in the face of the general who had no expression and suddenly became fierce in front of the crowd, there were so many people at that time, but none of them dared to open their mouths.

And “Cecil”, the innate aura of the Federation, also magically calmed the crowd gradually.

The Gu family owner sneered, raised his hand, and waved it.

“Boom—”

Shoot straight at him.

The all-interstellar text clearly stipulates that open fire cannot be used in human-to-human warfare, unless it is a dirty and unsolicited government like the previous royal family of Glacier Empire hunting down and killing Zhou Mian. Otherwise, the war on the surface could not involve a large number of human lives, just as Cecil and Zhou Mian had led the soldiers to operate drones and mechs and fight from a certain safety zone before, but at this moment, the Gu family’s military was using battle mechs.

The Twelfth Army had already made preparations, and at this moment it was also all facing an all out battle.

The crowd began to scream and flee, while the Union Capital Army were evacuating the crowd.

“Boom! Boom—”

The air cannons rose and fell, and the trees in front of the hospital were immediately destroyed, and the noise almost blew the sky apart.

The two sides fought in front of the hospital.

……

Zhou Mian and Ellen naturally sensed the movement downstairs, and Ellen’s heart was uneasy , so he went into the intensive care ward to guard Gu Xingzhi’s side.

“Don’t worry, Cecil will take care of it.” Zhou Mian was relaxed.

Ellen stammered.

At this moment, Ford had gone outside to rest temporarily, and it was nothing wrong for Ellen and Zhou Mian to sit face to face, Zhou Mian paused, smiled and asked: “Your Highness cares a lot about Major General Gu, and when he wakes up, you can explain your intentions properly to him.”

Ellen has always flirted with Cecil and Zhou Mian, and at this moment, he was caught off guard by Zhou Mian’s anti-general close talks and grumbled: “It is he who does not understand anything!”

“Huh?”

Ellen brushed his hair aside and said, “We’ve been together since we were kids… In the military academy, I studied with him.”

Of course, the truth is that Ellen was a disguise in front, and Gu Xingzhi was behind all the work.

“Then when I became an adult, I thought… Don’t be so reserved, be honest, so I proposed to him.”

Zhou Mian was stunned.

But after thinking about Ellen’s personality, he could understand it. Ellen is just such a kind of person.

“However, he not only refused, but also offered to break up our friendship.” Ellen gritted his teeth and said, “He! Acted! Without warning! And proposed to break up!

“So how did you react…?”

“I smashed the flower vase in his face and kicked him in the groin.” Ellen snorted, “After that we… Not much time to see each other, he went to the frontier.” Zhou Mian bowed his head slightly, “Maybe he didn’t tell you something.”

Ellen narrowed his mouth and looked down, “What else could be the reason, it’s about…not loving me enough, thinking I’m just trouble.”

Zhou Mian looked at the person lying in the treatment vessel and felt some doubts in his heart. Logically, having been together for so long, will they really change their minds like this?

Ellen said, “After that, I went through all kinds of waves, changed a boyfriend and girlfriend every day, and was in the bar until the sky was dark, he ignored me, didn’t give me a single look, just went to the frontier!”

Zhou Mian said in a warm voice, “These things are better than life and death, when he wakes up, why don’t you ask him directly?” The sound of cannon 1 firing downstairs was getting louder and louder, fortunately, the hospital was a sensitive area, so when it was first built, worried about having some accidents, they used a strong and special material, and at the moment it was only slightly shaken, and there was almost no damage.

The two said a few words, and Zhou Mian got up to see how Gu Xingzhi’s lieutenant was recovering at the other end.

“Snap!”

Suddenly, the treatment room darkened, and all the lights “clicked!” off.
