Chapter 853: Chapter 872: Jiang Qiuqiu’s Disappointment
After ending her call, Qiuqiu went to a private cubicle and sent a message to the director of the research institute.
Their conversation was actually very simple.
Qiu: I’ve run into some trouble.
Director: !!!?
Director: Where are you? Report your coordinates immediately. What exactly happened? Who’s messing with you?
Director: How powerful is the opposing faction? What is the scale of their armed forces? Are you in immediate danger? How long can you hold out!?
Qiu: ...
Qiuqiu reported her coordinates and what had happened recently.
The director sounded a bit frustrated, as if he were scolding a reckless child. "As the Ancient Earth saying goes, ’A wise person does not stand beneath a collapsing wall.’ I told you that going to remote places could be dangerous. Look at you now! This is too dangerous. It’ll take me some time to deploy people over there."
"The shackles on my Sea of Spirit Power have loosened," Qiuqiu said calmly. "I can feel the barrier to the next level."
"..."
"Honestly, why can’t the Federation have a few more patients? It forced you to go all the way to Q3 just to find them.
"What are the higher-ups in Q3 thinking? You’re clearly there for medical consultations, yet they still target you. It’s infuriating!
"I told you that going out was dangerous. You should have agreed to take an escort team back then... Don’t worry, Qiuqiu. Just endure it for now and keep a low profile.
"I’ll immediately apply to the higher-ups to send an advance team to get you out of Q3."
"Thank you, Director!"
"Thank what? You’re going to worry me to death..." The old director spoke grumpily, but his words were quite heartwarming. Before hanging up, Qiuqiu heard him muttering softly on his end, "What is the dean of the Federation University’s Spirit Healing Department doing..."
Hearing this, Qiuqiu’s eyes dimmed slightly.
Dean Zhu had sent her a message before this incident. Although Qiuqiu knew in her heart that the dean was also subjected to many restrictions in this matter—leaving him unable to speak up or allow her to leave, and only able to hint that this was just temporary—she was still a little disappointed.
When Jiang Qiuqiu walked out of the small cubicle, her expression was even worse than before she went in. This gave Little President Qian a fright.
"What’s wrong? Did it not go well?" Seeing her troubled look, Little President Qian immediately grew nervous and started formulating a Plan B.
"No, it went very smoothly."
"Then what’s with that expression?"
"I just thought of some things," Qiuqiu said. "Let’s head to the front of the factory. The delay is almost up, and everyone will be waiting."
"Lately, I really feel like you don’t act like a twenty-year-old," Little President Qian sighed. "Even with a mountain crashing down on you, your expression doesn’t change."
She had already started walking.
The midday lights were bright. As Qiuqiu passed window after window, the illumination danced across her side profile, scattering and shifting. Amid the flickering light and shadow, she said, "If a mountain is crashing down, panicking won’t help anyway.
"You still have to figure out a way to move the mountain."
Fear was useless. She had to find a way to solve it.
Jiang Qiuqiu quickly threw herself back into the dull, tedious, and exhausting healing treatments.
The external pressure was immense, and she was bearing a heavy psychological burden. However, this didn’t destabilize Qiuqiu’s Healing Spiritual Power; she was still able to output it continuously. Moreover, she maintained an abundant level of energy and an excellent state for quite a long period. Just as Teacher Mao had said, she was naturally born for the battlefield.
As the sun slanted westward, the lights in the factory turned on. The bright lights dispelled the darkness. Meanwhile, the people from Mystery Studio swiftly invaded the Federation’s gourmet section. Then, brimming with smug confidence, they fired their first shot here.
