172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk1Bky5w9C

所幸經醫師檢測，維爾科的手腕肌肉還保有機能。醫師為他施打破傷風針，並除去壞死組織，術後將其右手放置在小型保溫箱中，囑咐維爾科靜養一周。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYJyItBKOB

維爾科在術後第二天轉入四人制的普通病房。在那裡，他見到了皮瑞的好兄弟，棟瓦！172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqGfaNgTnC
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwz3zOVG60

172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEWCp5FdTj
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLQe1pZ3ae

172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibwJYU31Zo
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGCntVGPkg
「你還好吧？」棟瓦雙眼紅腫，面容看來相當哀愁。他走下床，來到維爾科旁邊。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4U5Ev6TXU

172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kyxTBHUXS
「因為 11 級吸引太多異獸，所以我後來被編發到 A 據點，跟其他前輩一同去阻擋。」棟瓦說到最後冷嗤一聲：「我剛才說的同期除了皮瑞，其他都是綠毯據點看守員。他們完全沒事，待在家舒舒服服的被其他小組保護著！」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4LqN00Qwx

172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebQrC1eCSX
「他們回來了！」棟瓦快步走到窗前，單手扶在窗框上：「那是勝利煙花！城內施放煙花高度不能超過鋼鐵牆牆緣，否則會吸引異獸……我還是頭一次親眼看到。」172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGr3NCnYwF

隔天早上，陸續有政府官員前來醫院探視傷兵。由於重傷患都在加護病房不能見客，普通病房的患者便肩負起讓長官慰問和拍照的任務。172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfI5gBghxd
