As Zhang Mo was about to have the leader of the thugs take him to the mastermind, an ambulance and police cars arrived almost simultaneously.
A few paramedics rushed into Unit 3, and shortly after, they carried out an elderly person, accompanied by a sobbing Chen Yuxi.
"Chen Yuxi, what's wrong?"
Zhang Mo asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing, it's none of your business. You should go back to school quickly!"
Chen Yuxi said as she got into the ambulance.
Subsequently, the doors closed, and the ambulance sped away.
The police began calling for backup and began arresting the thugs lying on the ground.
They completely ignored Zhang Mo, after all, who would pay attention to an elementary school student with a backpack, appearing harmless?
"Little brother, it's too dangerous here. If you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly!"
A police officer said to Zhang Mo with a smile.
"Uncle, may I ask which police station you're taking these bad guys to?"
Zhang Mo asked, tilting his head up.
"We are from the Tianhe Street Police Station. We will take these bad guys to the station for interrogation!"
The police officer replied with a smile.
"Officer, don't be fooled by this child. He beat up all my brothers!"
The leader of the thugs limped over, crying out.
"Stop talking nonsense. None of you thugs tell the truth. How can you even come up with such a ridiculous lie? Behave yourself!"
The police officer directly pushed the thug leader against the police car and handcuffed him.
"Officer, believe me, I'm not lying this time, I'm really telling the truth this time, I can swear to the heavens!"
The leader of the thugs said, on the verge of tears.
The police officer ignored him, stuffed him into the back seat of the police car, and then went to apprehend the other thugs.
At this moment, Zhang Mo slowly walked to the car window and said to the thug leader with a smile:
"I'm going to take care of something first. You stay at the Tianhe Street Police Station, and I'll come find you after I'm done!"
"You still need to take me to find your boss, so we'll meet again!"
Zhang Mo said and turned to leave.
Only the thug leader was left behind, looking terrified and shouting:
"Officer, it's not my fault this time!"
"It's that kid, he was threatening me just now, I demand to be a witness and apply for police protection!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of an electric shock, followed by the thug leader's screams.
From a distance, he heard the police officer say with a cold face:
"You habitual offender, unrepentant, you dare to obstruct our execution of duty, and cause trouble. I'll teach you to keep making up lies!"
Zzzt! Zzzt!
...
Zhang Mo bought a toy mask from a convenience store at the entrance of the residential area and put it on.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes and expanded his senses to their maximum.
Soon, he located the ambulance.
Whoosh!
Zhang Mo exerted force with his legs and began to run quickly on the road.
The surrounding people, scenery, and even the moving cars were quickly left behind by Zhang Mo.
By the time the ambulance reached the nearest hospital, Zhang Mo had also arrived at the hospital and followed Chen Yuxi and the medical staff into the emergency room.
"How is Grandma?"
Zhang Mo asked.
"Zhang Mo?"
Chen Yuxi's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing Zhang Mo.
He had actually followed her to the hospital!
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at school? And... how did you know my address?"
Chen Yuxi asked a string of questions, her face full of vigilance.
"I'm not a bad person. I've already beaten up the bad guys at your doorstep. I believe they won't dare to cause trouble again!"
"I will find the mastermind behind this and make sure he never bothers you again!"
Zhang Mo said earnestly.
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
Chen Yuxi asked in surprise.
"Do you need a reason to do good deeds?"
"Those are bad people. Bullying is wrong. Anyone with a sense of justice would do what I'm doing!"
Zhang Mo replied.
"Are you an ability user?"
Chen Yuxi asked again.
"Mm, you could say that!"
Zhang Mo nodded.
"By the way, why were those bad guys targeting you, your parents..."
As soon as her parents were mentioned, Chen Yuxi's eyes instantly turned red, and she sobbed.
"My father was a police officer who was investigating their case, and he was hit and killed by them. Grandma was already in poor health, and then they came to our house every night, banging on the doors, throwing paint, and blocking the keyholes. Grandma and I didn't sleep a single peaceful night. Otherwise, Grandma wouldn't have suddenly fainted... sob sob sob..."
Zhang Mo gently patted Chen Yuxi's back and said:
"Don't worry, those bad guys will definitely not have a good end!"
After they chatted for a while, tens of minutes later, the emergency room door opened, and Chen Yuxi's grandmother was wheeled into a special care ward.
Looking at her grandmother, who was wearing a ventilator and with her eyes closed, Chen Yuxi's face was filled with anxiety.
"Doctor, how is my grandmother's condition?"
The doctor did not answer Chen Yuxi. Instead, he looked around and asked the nurse:
"Where are the family members for this bed?"
The nurse pointed to Chen Yuxi and said:
"She's just a little girl. The old woman's son and daughter-in-law are both gone. She lives with her granddaughter now."
"I see..." the doctor frowned and said:
"It's like this, child. Your grandmother is old, and she hasn't been resting well recently, so many of her illnesses have flared up. This is the result of accumulation, not something that can be explained by a single condition."
"Currently, she needs to be hospitalized for observation. The special care ward is very expensive every day, and..."
"The old woman is old, and her illness cannot be completely cured. So... you should make the decision yourself. If you decide to be hospitalized, please pay 20,000 yuan first!"
Chen Yuxi nodded and said:
"I'll go pay now!"
Then, she ran towards the cashier's office.
Although she was young, she was very independent, and it was evident that she had been to the hospital many times before, and was very familiar with the place.
"Sigh, it's not easy for children. The survivor's benefits left by her parents have basically all been spent on her grandmother's medical expenses. What will she do on her own in the future?"
The nurse, who also recognized Chen Yuxi, sighed softly from the side.
Hearing this, Zhang Mo slowly walked to Chen Yuxi's grandmother's bedside.
Soon, the faint flow of energy within her body appeared before his eyes.
"I remember Uncle Bai saying that the reason people in the apocalypse don't get sick is because their internal life energy is very strong. Viruses and bacteria with only weak life energy cannot cause any harm to the body."
"Moreover, life energy can counteract the damage caused by aging to the body, so even the elderly are not to be underestimated in combat."
"According to this principle..."
Zhang Mo recalled what Bai Hanlin had said and placed his small hand above Chen Yuxi's grandmother's body.
Then, a stream of energy slowly flowed from his palm into her acupoints all over her body...
