Chapter 8 Discharge from hospital
1958 10 Month 21 Day.

“Beep! Beep~beep~beep-beep~beep~”

Today is the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, which is the Double Ninth Festival. Early in the morning, the wake-up call sounded, and Liu Zhiye got up early.

She was wearing a white hospital gown with blue vertical stripes and slippers. In her hand was a yellow enamel washbasin with the words "Military General Hospital" written on it, on which was a white enamel pot, an Old Shanghai brand toothbrush and toothpaste, a white towel, and a piece of Lighthouse brand soap.

He planned to go to the public bathhouse in the hospital to take a hot bath. The conditions in the main hospital were very good. Hot water was available 24 hours a day and the bathhouse could be used at any time without paying any money or tickets.

I have been in the hospital for almost a month. A while ago, I was afraid that the wound would get infected, so I didn’t dare to wash my body properly.

In the past two days, he felt that his body had almost recovered. In addition, he was going to be discharged from the hospital today and go home, so he simply took a good bath.

There was no one in the bathroom. After all, who would have the time to take a shower so early in the morning?

He stripped naked, wrapped himself in a white towel, and soaked in the pool, feeling the criss-crossing scars all over his body, including penetrating wounds, lacerations, knife wounds, and gunshot wounds.

Liu Zhiye was lost in thought for a moment. It wasn't easy for this guy. He was so young, but he had scars all over his body. He had worked hard to get there. It turned out that there was nothing in this world that came without hard work, and there was no position that could be obtained without hard work.

Earlier, Sister Ren came to see him and told him everything that happened after his old injury recurred.

It was really a close call. If he hadn't been sent to the main hospital, with so many experts and professors providing consultation and treatment, he would have really had to go see Ma Lie.

He stayed in the hospital for nearly a month before he was basically recovered. All he had to do now was rest.

To be honest, this speed of recovery also shocked a bunch of professors and experts. Originally, it was estimated that it would take him half a year to recover and be discharged from the hospital. But in less than 20 days, he was just like a normal person. They were puzzled and wanted to continue their research on him.

Liu Zhiye couldn't agree to this, as he was afraid of being used as a guinea pig for experiments. So he immediately refused, no matter what anyone said, it would be useless.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that there was no other reason for such a quick recovery. It was all thanks to the system.

When he woke up, he found that his personal information had also changed.

Player name: Liu Zhiran (Liu Zhiye)
Age: 24 years old

Lifespan: 3 months and 2 days+
Strength: 8/10 (normal adult is 5)+
Physical strength: 8/10 (normal adult is 5)+
Agility: 7/10 (normal adult is 5)+
Intelligence: 6/10 (normal adult is 3)+
Luck: 4
Energy: 0+
In order to recover from his injuries, the system forcibly deducted his lifespan during this period of insufficient energy to complete the repair. This reduced his lifespan by more than 2 months, making his already stretched life even worse. His physical strength also decreased a little due to the recovery from his injuries, and his energy was directly reset to zero.

During this period, I replenished my energy to 3000 by taking intravenous drips and eating nutritious meals. I tried it and clicked the lifespan + sign. Hey! There was a real change. I clicked it, and my energy decreased by 100, and my lifespan increased by 10 days. I clicked it 30 times in a row until my energy was zero, and my lifespan increased by a full ten months.

This made Liu Zhiye feel relieved. He no longer had to worry about how long he could live. It was great.

That's how he figured out how to use energy and how to obtain it. As long as he had enough energy, he could increase his lifespan and basic abilities.

The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is the warehouse. I don’t know how to expand it because there is no option to add energy.

This injury is also related to why he submitted a report for transfer to another job before.

In fact, he heard that he was going to return to China a while ago. He also let go of his obsession. After all, the symptoms of his injury were recurring more and more frequently, and he might collapse one day, so he made a ruthless decision to change his career.

There is a reason for his illness.

In that sniper battle, he was seriously wounded in the head and rushed to the field hospital. It was found that he was shot in the head and was in critical condition. It was probably too late to send him to the rear.

The field hospital did not have very good medical facilities, and the attending doctor, Dr. Ye, performed the operation on him with the mentality of giving it his all. He was lucky to survive, but he was left with sequelae.

That is, headaches and dizziness from time to time. Because the symptoms in the previous few times were very mild, disappeared quickly, and were not life-threatening. Under Lao Ye's diagnosis and treatment, they were quickly discharged from the hospital and continued to fight on the battlefield.

Later, the symptoms became more frequent, and peace was in sight. Liu Zhiye felt unwell and decided to retire and go home. First, he did not want to cause trouble to the army, but also thought that if something happened, he could still see his family and say goodbye to them forever.

That's why he submitted his report for demobilization. The leaders at all levels in the army also tried their best to retain him. They didn't agree with his demobilization at all. Others would let it go, but Liu Zhiye was a top talent. He had the age and education. He had the merits. The organizations at all levels had spent a lot of effort to train him, and he was included in the reserve echelon of military cadres. How could they let him go so easily?

Finally, I brought the matter to the old leader, who reluctantly agreed. I had planned to do some ideological work on him after he returned to China.

Unexpectedly, man proposes, God disposes. His old injury relapsed this time and almost cost him his life. Although he was rescued again, there is no guarantee what will happen next time.

When the leaders saw this, they decided to approve his expertise. After seeing that his operation was successful, they approved the case on the same day.

Last week, Lao Ge came to see him, bringing with him the transfer certificate issued by the division, a letter of introduction, and some of Liu Zhiye's personal belongings.

When he left, the old man hugged him and cried. He really couldn't bear to leave Liu Zhiye. The two of them had been friends for nearly ten years through thick and thin. He was extremely reluctant to part with him.

Finally, he was given an exquisite rectangular box made of huanghuali wood, which was about the size of a shoe box.

He was told that it was a gift that Commander Jiang had specifically asked him to pass on to him personally.

I didn't have time to look at it at the time, and he threw some personal belongings and luggage into the portable storage. I couldn't take care of it for the time being, and planned to take a look at what was there later.

After taking a shower, I returned to the ward, changed out of my hospital gown, and put on my military uniform without my rank insignia in front of the mirror.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I was dazed again. I had just experienced the identity of a soldier, but soon I was discharged from the army and transferred to civilian work.

A wry smile.

After all, he is not the original Liu Zhiye, who had no choice.

Now he has a choice. He has a system. As long as he has energy, he can completely recover and extend his life.

It would be great if he could stay in the army honestly, and he would be able to get through the big storm safely in the future. It was too late to say anything now, because of his special situation, his old unit gave him special treatment.

The military headquarters was entrusted to handle his discharge ceremony. His organizational relationship was temporarily kept at the armed forces department in his hometown DC, and other arrangements would be made after he recovered.

I looked at myself in the mirror for a while longer.

"Yeah, still so handsome!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Pfft!"

Liu Zhiye turned around to see who was laughing.

I saw a young female military doctor in front of me. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a graceful figure, a curvy figure, long legs and a slender waist. She wore a soft military cap on her head, her black hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, and she was wearing a green military jacket, a white coat, and black leather shoes.

To describe it with a poem:
"The stunning silhouette under the moon is suspected to be the fairy in the painting!"

He knew this woman, and they had met frequently over the past month.

In the past month, apart from Sister Ren who often visited him, she was the only one who came often. As for his family, they didn't know about his situation yet. He was not mentally prepared to recognize them until today.

The two of them were quite familiar with each other. According to Sister Ren, when Liu Zhiran was unconscious, she helped him clean up his excrement and urine. After hearing what she said, Liu Zhiye wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. It was so embarrassing.

There is a reason why he can help with these things, because Zhen Ni still has feelings for him.

The end of the Goryeo War.

Zhen Ni was a military medical student. She signed up for the consolation team organized by the rear without telling her family. Soon after arriving at the front, she was assigned to the battlefield service team where Sister Ren was, to provide support services.

Zhenni was born in the General Staff compound, and her parents had a close relationship with Sister Ren's family. So when she met Sister Ren, Sister Ren also took special care of her.

Later, Liu Zhiye went to see Sister Ren whenever he had time. He could also see her occasionally, and as they came and went, the two young people became familiar with each other.

Zhen Ni, a young lady in her twenties, was beginning to fall in love. Gradually, she was attracted by Liu Zhiye, who was well-spoken, tall, handsome, and heroic.

Until one day, Sister Ren called Liu Zhiye to her office and talked.

"Zhiye, you are 19 this year. Don't you want to consider personal feelings?"

"Don't follow me, Reagan!"

"We should protect our country, but we can't let our personal problems get in the way, right? Don't say you're young. Wait a minute. People your age in the countryside already have children."

"Others may not worry about it, but as the eldest sister, I can't just ignore it. Let's put it this way~ I'll just forget about the girl I introduced to you before, whether you're real or fake!"

"You have to pay attention to the person I introduce to you today, and don't give me the runaround anymore~"

"Who, who?"

"Look at Jenny, what do you think? Such a good girl, it's hard to find a beauty like her! She's pretty, educated, and a college student, and she comes from a high-ranking official family. It's hard to find someone with these conditions even with a lantern."

"Let alone others, just look at these unmarried young men in the base. Who wouldn't want to hang around her all day? What are they thinking? Humph! I can't let them get away with it!"

"I'm telling you, you can't be stubborn anymore."

"Sister Ren, I-I don't agree!"

Liu Zhiye blurted out. He had no feelings for Zhenni at all, although he often talked and laughed with her, that was just an ordinary friend. Because he had someone in his heart, he didn't want to climb up the social ladder.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, which was heard by Zhen Ni who opened the door.

Jenny, who had originally had a crush on him and was planning to go out with him, immediately started to question him with tears in her eyes and a pale face.

"How am I unworthy of you! Why do you treat me like this?"

"Woo~ How dare you bully me."

"What's so great about you? You don't care about me, and I don't care about you either!" Then she ran out of the room crying.

She didn't even give Liu Zhiye a chance to explain. Later, Liu Zhiye wanted to explain to her. But Zhenni, the little girl, always avoided him. Over time, Liu Zhiye's temper was not good either, so he never went to see her again.

Think about it, one is a gifted girl from heaven, the other is a grassroots hero, both are proud people.

We drifted further and further apart, you ignored me and I ignored you, and later when Zhen Nie returned to his country, we never met again.

It was not until Liu Zhiye woke up that day that the young and beautiful woman he saw was her.

At that time, Jenny had just returned from a training course set up by a team of medical experts invited by Big Brother.

Seeing Sister Ren coming to the hospital in a hurry, she asked and found out that Liu Zhiye's old injury had relapsed. After the rescue, she often came to help Sister Ren take care of Liu Zhiye.
