Elder brother's garrison

Page 2062

About half an hour later, just as the admirals were wondering why the medical examination results were still not available, the door to the lounge was finally pushed open.

A female ship leading the way entered the lounge.

"Admirals, thank you for your patience. The medical examination results are in." The guiding ship girl bowed respectfully to the admirals in the lounge, then stood by the door and said softly to everyone, "Please do not crowd. Please line up neatly and follow me to the interview room. The doctor in charge of compiling the medical examination data is already there."

"It's finally over—" Admiral Lian breathed a sigh of relief and, swaying slightly, helped each other up.

The other admirals exchanged glances, then rose from their seats and formed a line quite consciously.

Led by the guiding ship girl, the group left the lounge and arrived at a spacious consultation room nearby.

When everyone entered the consultation room, there was only one person inside.

That was a male figure that was extremely rare even within the entire Admiral's Guild.

The man was probably in his sixties or seventies, wearing a white doctor's coat and brown striped reading glasses. His curly hair was mottled with black and white, and his face had obvious wrinkles. Although he looked somewhat old, his eyes behind his glasses were exceptionally bright, and he stood very straight, giving people a reliable impression of being experienced and energetic.

It's a human doctor...?

Xiao Bai looked at the old figure sitting in the chair with some curiosity.

"Fellow admirals, the person in front of you is the head of the private hospital branch of our Admiral Guild." The ship girl next to him explained to Xiaobai and his group, "He is one of the few human employees in our Admiral Guild's private hospital branch, but he is also the most skilled, experienced, and authoritative person in this field."

"He looks kind of familiar... Is he the director of some major hospital in Yanjing?" Admiral Lian muttered to himself, stroking his chin with a puzzled expression.

"I think I've seen him on TV before," Admiral Ling said, also puzzled.

"I see, you are truly a man of great virtue and prestige!" Upon hearing this, Admiral Haoding quickly clasped his hands in greeting to the old man, "Elder! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hahaha." The old doctor smiled at everyone, his attitude gentle. "Admirals, you're here to pick up your medical examination results, right? Please find a place to sit."

As the old doctor finished speaking, his gaze fell on the two rows of chairs on either side of the reception room door.

The admirals looked at each other and then took their seats.

Under everyone's gaze, the old doctor walked to a position resembling a desk and took out seven documents sealed with brown paper from the desk full of files.

The old doctor took out the first piece of brown paper and opened it.

"Admiral Li Hua, please step forward."

Upon hearing the old doctor's call, Admiral Li Hua, who was sitting in his seat, turned pale. He glanced at Xiao Bai across from him with some fear, then stood up shakily and went to the old doctor.

"Haha, a handsome young man." The old doctor smiled at Admiral Li Hua and handed him the medical examination report. "Admiral Li Hua, your medical results show that, from a medical perspective, you don't have any long-term health problems. However, you seem to be troubled by something recently, appearing overly anxious and fearful, and have begun to show some symptoms of neurasthenia. I hope you can adjust your condition as soon as possible. Pay more attention to rest and sleep, ensure adequate vitamin intake, and don't forget to take time to relax, no matter how busy you are."

"Thank you, thank you..." Admiral Li Hua nodded obsequiously, took his medical examination form, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, the doctor didn't seem to mention that he was faking illness...

Admiral Li Hua turned around and glanced at Xiao Bai with great fear, then returned to his seat in the corner like a thief with a guilty conscience.

"Next up is... Admiral Haoding." The old doctor glanced at the second medical examination form and called out to the crowd.

"It's me!" Admiral Haoding stood up abruptly and strode over to the old doctor. "Old man! Please speak freely!"

"Haha, you look very energetic." The old doctor smiled at Admiral Haoding and handed him the second medical examination form. "I have also received Admiral Haoding's previous medical records. Hmm... you were recently invaded by deep-sea energy and almost lost your life because of it, right?"

"Yes!"

"Judging from the concentration of deep-sea aura in your body, your condition has recovered very well. In fact, if we disregard the deep-sea aura, your physical condition is currently the best among all the admirals." The old doctor handed the medical examination report to Admiral Haoding with satisfaction. "Here is your medical examination report. I have no suggestions for you. Just go back and continue living your life as before."

"Haha, thank you very much, old man!" Admiral Haoding took the medical examination form, laughed twice at the old doctor, bowed, and returned to his seat.

"Next up is Admiral Lian," the old doctor said after watching Admiral Haoding return to his post.

"I'm here, I'm here!"

Admiral Lian stood up with his hand raised.

"Admiral Lian, your medical examination results are also very healthy..." The old doctor glanced at the medical report and said to Admiral Lian, "However, I still hope you can improve your diet, eat more meat protein and fresh vegetables. Relying too much on sweets will not only cause you to gain weight, but also cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases..."

"Grandpa, please stop scolding me. I'll change it, I'll change it right away..." Admiral Lian walked forward with tears in her eyes and took the medical examination report.

"Next up is Admiral Ling."

The old doctor examined the medical examination report for a while.

Admiral Ling stepped forward and looked at the old doctor cautiously.

"My advice to Admiral Ling is the same as my advice to Admiral Lian. Your medical examination data is surprisingly consistent; this is extremely rare, even among identical twins," the old doctor said. "So you should also try to eat less sweets and pay attention to nutrition. Your previous dental checkup also showed that you have a cavity."

Admiral Ling hurriedly and awkwardly took the medical examination form, bowed to the old doctor, and quickly ran back to Admiral Lian's side.

"Next up is Admiral Duan Shuiliu."

Duan Shuiliu got up and quietly walked to the old doctor.

"Yes, Admiral Duan, your medical examination results show that you are in excellent health. However, the previous psychological test results indicated that you often have some rather negative thoughts when looking at things." The old doctor asked Duan Shuiliu, "Have you had any unpleasant memories?"

"..." Duan Shuiliu remained silent.

"Haha, it's better not to say." The old doctor chuckled and continued to Duan Shuiliu, "Mental illness is a rather special condition. Logically speaking, to be considerate of your feelings, I shouldn't bring this up directly in front of your friends. However, I also saw in your psychological tests that although you had rather negative thoughts about things for a long time, in the last year or two, your negative emotions in this regard have significantly lessened. Therefore, I think you should have been prepared to face these unpleasant memories long ago."

"..." Duan Shuiliu remained silent, only looking up to meet the old doctor's gaze.

"I just want to say that you did a great job with your advice." The old doctor handed the medical examination form to Duan Shuiliu. "Patients who can take the initiative to get out of the shadows, no matter what the situation, all have tremendous courage. At least from a doctor's point of view, I have great respect for you."

"...Thank you." Duan Shuiliu accepted the medical examination form.

Duan Shuiliu silently returned to his seat.

Before he knew it, the old doctor had only two sheets of brown paper left in his hand.

One of the letters was from Xiaobai.

The other letter was from Nanxing.

Sitting in the chair, Xiaobai looked expectantly at the brown paper in the old doctor's hand.

I wonder if I'll be the next one called out, or if it will be Sister Nanxing...

Xiaobai is looking forward to it.

Then, to Xiaobai's great surprise, the old doctor looked at the last two pieces of brown paper in his hand but did not open them.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the old doctor raised his head, smiled, and spoke to the crowd.

"Well... now, the admirals who have received their medical examination reports can go back to the lounge."

Chapter 2899 The Only Choice!

"Now, the admirals who have received their medical examination reports can go back to the lounge."

The old doctor's words lingered in the air.

The admirals present, including Xiaobai and Nanxing, were all taken aback.

"Hmm? Old man, what do you mean by that?" Admiral Haoding stood up in confusion and asked the old doctor.

The old doctor's behavior naturally made everyone present feel a chill.

As the saying goes, when a doctor asks to be alone with a patient, it's generally not a good thing.

The admirals present looked at Xiaobai and Nanxing with concern upon thinking of this.

"Oh, please don't worry, it's nothing serious." The old doctor saw what the admirals were thinking, and he smiled and said to everyone, "These two admirals have no problems. It's just that the following medical examination involves some rather private matters, and it's really inconvenient to tell others. Please feel free to leave; it won't take too long."

"Oh I got it!"

Hearing the old doctor's words, the admirals present were finally relieved.

"Admiral Lu Lin, Admiral Nan Xing, we'll head out now!" Admiral Hao Ding gave Xiao Bai and Nan Xing a thumbs up. "Don't worry too much about yourselves!"

“Little cutie, we’ll wait for you outside…” Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling waved to Little White.

Duan Shuiliu also silently watched Xiaobai, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end he still left the consultation room with the others.

The door to the reception room opened and then closed.

For a moment, only Xiaobai, Nanxing, and the old doctor remained in the consultation room.

Seeing that everyone else had left, the old doctor took out the second parchment from the top and looked at Xiaobai with great kindness.

"Admiral Lu Lin...is that you?"

The old doctor's smile was as warm and kind as the sun, and Xiaobai could even sense from his smile that... well... it seemed like a grandfather looking at his granddaughter.

How strange.

This old man didn't treat the other admirals like this.

And when he addressed himself just now, did he use the formal "you" (您)?

Even stranger...

Xiao Bai looked at the smiling old doctor with a belly full of doubts, but still stepped forward.

“Hello, grandpa… I’m Lu Lin…” Xiao Bai said.

"Hahaha..." The old doctor looked at Xiaobai, his eyes immediately curving into crescents. He handed the medical examination report directly to Xiaobai. "Admiral Lu Lin, the medical examination results show that all of your physical indicators are perfect. You can say that there are no hidden dangers in your body. Even your muscle distribution, bone condition, and even the pulsation of your internal organs and blood tests are all textbook-level standards. This is simply a healthy body that can be included in textbooks."

"Is it...is it really that exaggerated?"

"Haha, that's not an exaggeration at all." The old doctor nodded to Xiaobai. "I've never seen such a healthy human body before in my life. It's truly an eye-opener."

“…Uh.” Xiaobai turned her head to the side and scratched her cheek sheepishly.

"Furthermore, I've checked your medical records, Admiral Lu Lin. You underwent a major surgery when you were a child, didn't you?" the old doctor said with a smile. "Judging from your current physical condition, your postoperative recovery is truly remarkable."

The old doctor looked at Xiaobai with an expression of utter satisfaction, as if he had just encountered a rare species.

Feeling the old doctor's gaze, Xiaobai's expression grew increasingly awkward.

"Admiral Lu Lin, you can wait a moment." The old doctor opened the last piece of parchment and said to Xiao Bai, "The next medical examination... is for Admiral Nan Xing."

"Eh?"

Xiao Bai, who had been watching the old doctor's expression, paused for a moment after the old doctor finished speaking.

As Xiaobai watched, she was surprised to find that when the old doctor mentioned the words "Admiral Nanxing," the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a very focused and serious expression.

what happened?

Was Admiral Nanxing's medical examination result terrible?

Xiao Bai stood there, stunned, thinking unconsciously.

Just then, Admiral Nanxing arrived beside Xiaobai and stood in front of the old doctor.

"Admiral Nanxing, your medical examination results show... from a normal person's perspective, your health is quite good. It seems you exercise regularly, pay attention to your diet, and avoid many unhealthy lifestyle habits." The old doctor paused slightly as he spoke, holding the medical examination report. "However... unfortunately, in all your medical examination items, there is one item in which your measured value far exceeds the level of a normal person."

Xiao Bai's eyes widened when he heard this.

Nanxing looked at the old doctor expressionlessly, seemingly unsurprised.

The old doctor handed the medical examination form to Nanxing.

“Admiral Nanxing, what you need to be wary of is that the current concentration of deep-sea aura in your body is more than a hundred times higher than that of the other top ten admirals,” the old doctor said solemnly to Nanxing. “Even the current Admiral Haoding only has one-fifth of the concentration of deep-sea aura in his body. From this, I can deduce that your current physical condition is extremely dangerous.”

"Huh?? Huh?? Huh!??"

Xiao Bai listened from the side, his eyes widening even more.

There is a high concentration of deep-sea energy in Admiral Nanxing's body?

Wait...did she, like the former Admiral Haoding, also have her body invaded by the aura of the deep sea?

Xiao Bai covered her mouth, looking at Nan Xing in surprise.

Even when the old doctor directly announced her physical condition, Nanxing remained calm and composed. Her expression did not change in the slightest. She merely lowered her head slightly and glanced at her snow-white palms.

"The admiral's job is inherently high-risk. To command the ship girls' expeditions, admirals frequently have to approach the deep sea and live among the abyssal atmosphere," the old doctor told Nanxing. "Normally, thanks to various protections and the existence of the admiral network, admirals can naturally resist low concentrations of abyssal atmosphere. However, in special circumstances, such as entering waters with high concentrations of abyssal atmosphere or living in places surrounded by it for extended periods, it's inevitable that this abyssal atmosphere will invade their bodies. Normally, the admirals in Chapter 8 all have some abyssal atmosphere in their bodies, a result of their long-term struggle here. Under normal circumstances, the concentration of this abyssal atmosphere in their bodies is extremely low and will not harm their health."

The old doctor paused again after saying this.

"But Admiral Nanxing, the concentration of deep-sea energy in your body has clearly exceeded a level that wouldn't harm your health," the old doctor said solemnly. "If this isn't stopped, you won't live much longer."

The old doctor made a surprising statement!

Nanxing remained silent.

The consultation room was quiet for a while.

After a while, the old doctor sighed.

“Admiral Nanxing, I don’t know what you went through that caused these deep-sea auras, which are enough to endanger your life, to invade your body,” the old doctor said. “But I hope you can pay attention to the harm that deep-sea auras can cause to the human body. This is not an exaggeration. At least with the current medical technology, we cannot remove such a large amount of deep-sea auras from a normal body.”

“…” Nanxing paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked the old doctor, “…Is there any hope for me?”
