Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 310

310 Visiting Lone Wolf
However, before he rushed to the armory, Wu Mo had to go to Renhe Medical Center in Jingdu.

When the two cultivators who were escorting him heard Wu Mo’s request, they agreed very quickly and drove the military vehicle toward the medical center.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Wu Mo felt a little emotional.

Lone Wolf’s right leg was seriously injured. He did not know if he would ever recover from this.

For a Special Forces captain with a strong sense of self-esteem, losing a leg meant that his combat ability would be greatly reduced. He would not even regain a tenth of his peak mobility and flexibility.

!!
As such, even though Lone Wolf had reached the peak of the six-star rank, his skills were no longer as good as that of ordinary five-star cultivators.

This meant that Lone Wolf would have to bid farewell to the battlefield forever.

That might not be much for ordinary soldiers.

However, like Bald Eagle, Lone Wolf was an elite trained by the federal government. He had long made the decision to dedicate his life to the country.

Therefore, the current situation would definitely be a huge blow to Lone Wolf’s heart.

The thoughts in Wu Mo’s mind continued to surge, and at the same time, his desire to successfully forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear grew.

If only he managed to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear earlier, then Lone Wolf would not be in his current predicament!

Wu Mo reached Renhe Medical Center with that on his mind.

Renhe Medical Center was located in the most prosperous area of the capital’s Baihe District. It covered an area of nearly 1.2 million square meters and was known as one of the top hospitals in the White River province.

Pushing open the hospital door, Wu Mo took out his phone and dialed Bald Eagle’s number. After learning of the specific ward, he immediately rushed in the Inpatient Department’s direction.

The two cultivators followed closely behind, still seriously carrying out their task of protecting Wu Mo.

About three minutes later, Wu Mo passed through several buildings and finally took the elevator to the floor where Lone Wolf’s ward was.

After Wu Mo walked out of the elevator, he went straight to Lone Wolf’s ward. However, before he could knock on the door, he met Bald Eagle who had just stepped out of the ward!

Bald Eagle looked a little haggard, and his eyes were slightly red. Although he still had a smile on his face, his expression was filled with sorrow.

“Wu Mo, you’re here!”

The moment he saw Wu Mo, Bald Eagle’s condition improved slightly, but he was still very depressed.

“Lone Wolf, he… How is he doing?” Wu Mo immediately asked with concern.

“Sigh, he’s in a very bad state right now. He’s already had amputation surgery, and in two days, they’ll install the artificial limb. He’ll get by, but the doctor said that he can’t do intense exercises anymore.

“To him, it’s like being a boxer without his fists, so you have to be careful when you go in. Don’t mention anything depressing.” Bald Eagle patted Wu Mo’s shoulder and said in a heavy tone.

Hearing this, Wu Mo felt a little discouraged. He responded, pushed the door open, and walked in with Bald Eagle.

The two cultivators waited outside the door.

Wu Mo pushed open the ward door, which reeked of alcohol, and saw Lone Wolf lying on a white bed.

The ward was cozy, and the colors were all warm enough to make a person happy. The room was also fully equipped with all kinds of furniture. It was not inferior to the master bedroom in his villa over at the Research Department.

It had only been a while since they last met, but Lone Wolf looked a lot more haggard. His face was a little pale, and he was leaning on the bed at the moment, looking out of the window in a daze.

When the door opened, Lone Wolf subconsciously turned his head to look. When he discovered that it was Wu Mo, his expression instantly changed.

“Haha, I thought Bald Eagle was trying to bother me again. I didn’t expect it to be you. What a rare guest. Please have a seat.”

Lone Wolf revealed a happy smile and spoke in a cheerful voice. There was no trace of his previous wooden demeanor.

Wu Mo immediately walked up to the bed and activated his Interspatial Ring with his spirit power. The next moment, a fruit basket and two gift boxes appeared on the table.

“It’s just a small token. I didn’t know if you would like it, but I made the decision to buy it,” he quickly said as he sat in the chair by the bed.

“Wu Mo, you’re too kind. You don’t have to treat me like a patient. I’m in good health now.”

After he said that, Lone Wolf tried to use his spirit energy.

“No… There’s no need for that. I know you’re fine.”

Wu Mo gently stopped him.

“You don’t have to say anything to comfort me. I’m fine now. After all, I’m in the Special Forces and it’s hard having to carry out missions every day. Now that I can finally rest, I’m ecstatic. Why would I be depressed?

“By the way, tell me how you’ve been. Are you researching new equipment again?”

Lone Wolf changed the subject and asked in a relaxed tone. At the same time, he avoided Wu Mo’s mention of the sensitive issue in his heart.

“New research is in progress, but it’ll take at least a month before the final product is ready. But I can reveal in advance that the equipment this time is armor that can provide full-body protection.”

Wu Mo revealed a bit of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s effect, but because of the security measures in place, he did not say much.

“Mm… That sounds like a very powerful piece of equipment. Wu Mo, you are indeed a genius in the field of research. In the future, when this piece of equipment is released, you have to let me see it.”

Lone Wolf instantly showed interest and gave him a thumbs up.

However, Wu Mo’s sharp senses discovered that there was a deep unwillingness hidden in his eyes.

In the past, Lone Wolf could visit Wu Mo and watch him demonstrate equipment at any time, being who he was. But now, with his current state, Lone Wolf would have to retire soon.

Although he could enjoy a great material life and everyone’s respect, he would be cut off from the power he used to have and most of his connections.

Retirement meant becoming an ordinary person. He could not even enter the Research Department, let alone see Wu Mo’s latest equipment.

Thinking of this, Wu Mo immediately revealed a smile.

“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely have the chance. But before that, I’d like to ask, what are your plans for the future?”

…

Lone Wolf was silent for a few seconds. Then, he turned to look at Wu Mo and casually said, “After I retire, I’ll definitely enjoy my life. No one wants to fight on the battlefield every day. Who knows when I’ll be injured or even killed?

“I’m lucky that I can retire so soon. I’m still young enough to go around and see the beautiful rivers and mountains.”

Lone Wolf appeared excited as he spoke. It was as if he really looked forward to his future life.

However, Bald Eagle’s eyes turned red when he heard what Lone Wolf said.

He was also a captain of the Special Forces, so he knew what Lone Wolf truly wanted.

It definitely was not a vacation to enjoy a good life.
