Chapter 500: A New Enemy
The surgery officially began under the guidance of Dr. Lena. Because vampires are very insensitive to anesthesia, the anesthesiologist did not dare to use anesthetic drugs casually, so the anesthesia step was later canceled.
Currently, in addition to blood transfusions, she is also receiving super-restorative potions and black orchid extract. Black orchid extract has a certain anesthetic effect, which can slightly alleviate Queen Sindra's pain, and more importantly, it does not cause any harm to the body.
Li Chenglong added, "Vampires recover very quickly, and with the constant blood transfusions and super recovery potions, we have to be fast during the surgery. Teacher, after you cut it open, I'll catch this black arrow."
Teacher Lena nodded and let out a long sigh of relief: "Attention everyone, we're about to begin." Then she started operating quickly.
Her hands moved incredibly fast, barely noticing the slight bleeding, because time was of the essence in this surgery. Five minutes later, the necrotic tissue around the black arrow had been completely removed. With lightning speed, Li Chenglong used his spiritual energy to create a small hand, pulled out the black arrow, and quickly threw it into a nearby trash can.
Professor Wang Li looked at the large hole in the wound and said with some difficulty, "This wound is too big, we must treat it carefully." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenglong, Erica and Reina released their healing abilities at the same time, and three minutes later, Queen Syndra's injury had been completely healed.
Wang Li shook his head: "With you advanced superhumans, I feel like we can use far fewer people for future surgeries, hahaha." The nurses and anesthesiologists on site applauded, celebrating the successful completion of the surgery.
After the surgery, Li Chenglong and several nurses personally carried Queen Sindra's bed out of the operating room and directly to a special care ward. Lena and Erica then promptly shared the good news with Helen and Margaret.
He had just come out of the ward when Li Xue approached and said, "Brother, the black arrow you pulled out turned into a pool of black liquid in a very short time and then disappeared quickly." Li Chenglong smiled and said, "I had expected this. I didn't originally intend to obtain any information through that arrow. Let's wait until the Empress wakes up before we talk about anything else."
Li Xue didn't leave with Li Chenglong because she had to help out at the hospital. Li Chenglong chatted briefly with Duke Helen before leaving with Lena and Erica.
It was already 6 p.m. when they got home. Susie was cooking in the kitchen, and Yunlan was helping her. Although Susie was only 20 years old, she was a very good cook and had learned a lot from Song Yixin. She was good at making different dishes for people of different ages.
After chatting for a few words with Li Yunhao, who was playing in the living room, Li Chenglong went into the study. Today, he not only consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, but also contributed 1000 milliliters of blood, so he really needed to rest properly.
A moment later, Yunlan brought in a cup of warm water made with her special ability royal jelly and handed it to Li Chenglong, who was resting on the sofa in the study. Li Chenglong sat up and took the cup with both hands: "Are you going to eat? I'll be right out."
Yunlan laughed and said, "It's already 10 pm, and you're still thinking about dinner. I've heard everything from Xue'er. To save the Vampire Queen, you not only expended a lot of spiritual energy, but you also donated 1000 milliliters of blood. That's too dangerous. You know, if a normal person loses that much blood, they'll be half-dead, if not dead. Was it worth it?"
After a pause, Li Chenglong nodded and said, "It's worth it. Although Queen Syndra has only just reached level 14, the fact that she was injured like this shows how strong her opponent is. That black arrow is clearly closely related to special forces, but even the strongest special forces we've encountered so far couldn't possibly injure a level 13 expert. So we must save her this time, both to obtain intelligence on potential new enemies and to preserve our Earth's high-level combat power."
Hearing Li Chenglong's words, Yunlan didn't know what to say. She smiled and said, "No matter what, you're always right. After Susie found out about your situation, she spent more than two hours making some blood-nourishing dishes again. Would you like to come out to eat, or should I bring them in for you?"
Li Chenglong stood up with a smile and took Yunlan's hand: "Let's go out to eat. I want to go back to sleep after we eat, haha."
The next morning at 7 a.m., Li Chenglong, having just finished breakfast, received a call from Duke Helen, who said that Queen Sindra had woken up at 3 a.m. that morning and, after taking a large amount of super recovery potion, had finally recovered somewhat. After learning that Li Chenglong and the others had saved her life, she wanted to express her gratitude in person and explain the intelligence about the new enemy.
Upon learning of this, Li Chenglong called upon Yunlan and contacted Marina, Lena, Cecily, and Erica, preparing to go to the hospital to inquire about information from the now-awakened Queen Syndra.
Since they were going to visit a patient, they didn't need too many people; the six of them should be enough. Li Chenglong also prepared a basket of the best spiritual fruits and a gift box of black orchid honey as gifts for the visit.
Upon entering the luxurious ward specially prepared for Queen Sindra, Li Chenglong noticed that her complexion had improved significantly. Although she still looked somewhat thin, it was quite remarkable that she had recovered to this level after only one night's rest.
After exchanging pleasantries, Queen Syndra repeatedly expressed her sincerest gratitude to Li Chenglong and the others for saving her life. Li Chenglong first inquired about the Dark Alliance's situation over the past year before asking about the mysterious enemy she had encountered.
Queen Syndra let out a long breath and began to recount her story: "The night before last, after discussing the recent battles with the special forces with several high-ranking members of the vampire clan, I was about to go back to my room to rest. Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in my living room, and a warrior with a build similar to a normal male, covered in black armor, walked out of it. Judging from the aura emanating from him, I could tell that he was also a special force member, and quite powerful."
“As soon as that black-clad warrior appeared, he attacked me without saying a word. To be honest, his raw strength wasn't that great; he was definitely no match for me. But he had a very strong ability: he could absorb the energy I was attacking him, which greatly weakened the intensity of my attacks. Even so, overall, I was still putting him on the defensive,” Syndra continued.
She paused for a moment and continued, "But at that moment he took out a repeating crossbow and kept shooting those black arrows. These arrows were like radar, automatically searching for me. I couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the chest. But at the same time as I was hit, my full-force attack had already killed him."
She continued, "Because of the influence of that strange black arrow, I tried to pull it out but couldn't touch it. Instead, the arrow absorbed a lot of my energy. In addition, I went through a battle with the black warrior and finally collapsed due to exhaustion. When I woke up again, I was already here with you."
Li Chenglong and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. After a while, Teacher Lena summarized, "It's now confirmed that a very strong special agent has indeed appeared, with strength at least at the late stage of level 13. If there's a first time, there will be a second. We should immediately spread this news so that all bases and even all forces on Earth know about this."
Li Chenglong nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll arrange this as soon as I get back to Dawn Tower. At the same time, we should quickly come up with a countermeasure. If that black warrior can really travel through space at will, then we need to find a way to suppress his ability."
Everyone stayed there for forty minutes before leaving one after another. To recover, Queen Sindra planned to stay in Dawn City for half a month before returning home, and also take the opportunity to tour the city and sign some new contracts. Li Chenglong readily agreed.
