Chapter 259 Truth and Falsehood
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the military hospital ward, illuminating the tranquility.
Inside the ward, a medical examination team jointly formed by the special operations force and the border defense military region stood in front of the bed, carefully examining He Jun's body with instruments.
Mu Zenan and Xiao Yi stood to the side, watching the doctor's operation with focused expressions.
After the doctor finished the examination, Xiao Yi asked impatiently, "Dean Zhang, how is this young student's health? Is there anything wrong?" His voice revealed a hint of anxiety, clearly showing his great concern for He Jun's health.
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's question, He Jun immediately perked up his ears and listened intently to the doctor's answer.
After all, he had been in the hospital for some time, and his mind was always on the upcoming college entrance examination.
The thought of facing an important exam in just a few months made him increasingly anxious.
Therefore, he naturally paid close attention when he heard the question about whether he could be discharged from the hospital.
Dean Zhang looked up at He Jun, then looked down and carefully examined the report in his hand. Finally, he said seriously, "Well... after this period of treatment, He Jun's internal and external injuries have largely healed."
"Next, all you need to do is rest well and let your body gradually recover to a healthy state."
Upon hearing the good news, He Jun was so excited he almost jumped up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Ah! That's great! Does that mean I can be discharged and go back to school?" His face was beaming with joy, as if he could already see himself leaving the ward that smelled of disinfectant.
"This..." After hearing this, Dean Zhang did not answer him immediately, but looked at Mu Zenan standing to the side with a hesitant expression.
Mu Zenan noticed Dean Zhang's gaze, smiled slightly, and then said, "Ahem, He Jun, don't worry."
"Once you're able to get out of bed and move around in a few days, our military region will send a convoy to take you to school."
"So, all you need to do now is rest and recover for a few days."
He Jun was still somewhat disappointed after hearing Mu Zenan's words.
However, he understood that he really needed to rest properly, so he lay quietly on the hospital bed and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Mu Zenan and the others returned to the monitoring room.
Xiao Yi looked at Mu Zenan and said with a serious expression, "Major Mu, your plan doesn't seem very feasible."
“Those phantoms have no intention of being fooled at all, so there’s no point in us continuing to guard them like this.”
Mu Zenan stared blankly at the monitor screen, remained silent for a moment, then smiled confidently and replied, "Hehe, it's okay, let's observe for a few more days."
"I believe they won't be able to hold out for long, and they will reappear sooner or later in the next few days."
"Let's go grab a bite to eat and get some rest."

As time went by, the sun gradually rose higher, and the midday sunlight shone through the windows into the hospital corridor, bringing a touch of heat.
In front of He Jun's ward, several border guards were standing guard, standing straight and watching the surroundings vigilantly.
The sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows on the ground.
Despite the heat, they remained vigilant and did not let their guard down.
At that moment, one of the border guards couldn't help but let out a big yawn.
And this yawn seemed to be contagious, as another soldier also started yawning.
"Ah..." a soldier stretched and muttered to himself.
"I wonder what delicious food the cafeteria will make for lunch today?"
"Yeah, I'm starving," another soldier chimed in. "When the shift change comes, we have to go to the mess hall for a good meal, otherwise it would be a shame after all the time we've been on duty."
Then, as he spoke, he rubbed his slightly sore eyes, as if trying to dispel his drowsiness.
For the two border guards, standing guard is an important task, but the long hours of standing and the need for intense concentration also leave them feeling exhausted.
"Is the discipline of sentries to whisper among yourselves?! Which squad are you two from, and who is your company commander?" This sudden reprimand was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of the two sentries.
Upon hearing the sound, the two men turned deathly pale, their foreheads beaded with cold sweat. They turned around in terror and saw a staff officer in a captain's uniform walking briskly toward them.
"Report... Report! We are from the garrison company, and our company commander is Hu Delu!" One of the soldiers saluted nervously, his voice trembling slightly.
"The garrison company, huh? I have some connections with your company commander, Hu. Since that's the case, I'll let you off this time, but this is a one-time exception. If I find you violating sentry discipline again, it won't be as simple as this." The captain's expression softened slightly upon hearing their company commander's name.
"Yes!" The two soldiers, as if granted a pardon, quickly responded in unison.
Seeing their fearful and apprehensive appearance, the captain's anger subsided somewhat.
He then softened his tone and said, "I'm here on Major Mu's orders to check the surveillance equipment in the ward."
"When the shift changers arrive, have them bring in the new equipment and install it."
After saying that, the captain ignored the two sentries, walked straight to He Jun's ward, gently pushed open the door, and stepped inside.
The two soldiers, still shaken by what had just happened, dared not interfere too much.
In the ward.
After the captain closed the door, he waved his hand, and a magic circle blocked the surveillance in the room. However, the guards in the monitoring room did not notice anything unusual. From their perspective, only He Jun was still resting in bed in the ward.
However, the reality is quite the opposite.
After seeing that the magic circle had been successfully activated, the captain stopped pretending and walked toward He Jun on the hospital bed with a ferocious grin.
"Who are you? You're not a soldier!" He Jun felt the strange aura emanating from the captain and wanted to shout in terror.
But at this moment, He Jun felt that his vocal cords had stopped working and he could not make any sound.
"Hehehe, you ask who I am? Didn't you already guess? Today I can greet you on behalf of the gargoyle phantom. You got away last time, now let's see who can save you!" The captain's lips curled up wildly as he looked at the terrified He Jun, forming a sinister smile.
