……

The next day.

It's just dawn.

Ward of Hexie Hospital.

Gao Xiaoguang, lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a nurse in a white coat and a mask changing the dressing beside the bed.

"Comrade...Nurse." Gao Xiaoguang spoke, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound.

In desperation, he raised his arm with difficulty and poked the nurse.

"Comrade! Are you awake?"

"Water... water..."

"Wait a minute." The nurse poured a glass of water and placed it on the cabinet. Then she helped Gao Xiaoguang up, put the pillow horizontally, and let him lean on the bed.

"Ton ton ton~" After taking a few sips of water, Gao Xiaoguang finally felt better at his dry throat. He then asked, "Comrade nurse, how are my colleagues?"

"Two comrades have died, and another comrade named Xu Zhengyang is in the emergency room and is currently in critical condition. The remaining colleagues have suffered varying degrees of injuries, but are not in life-threatening condition, though they are still in a coma!"

"The doctor didn't say how long it would take for Xu Zhengyang to be out of danger?"

"It depends on whether the comrade is strong enough to survive." The nurse explained while changing the dressing.

After the two asked and answered questions, Gao Xiaoguang learned that one of the two comrades who died was a member of the technical department, and the other was a police officer who was arresting enemy spies.

It was also learned that Wang Mincai, Xiang Xiyong and Ge Jianmin all suffered injuries of varying degrees, but their lives were not in danger and they would be discharged after recuperation for a period of time.

Yao Xuemei was pierced in the cheek by shrapnel. After rescue, her life was saved, but she was disfigured. It will be difficult for her to get married in the future.

"crunch~"

The wooden door of the ward was pushed open, and several people in white coats walked in, followed by the factory director Liu Dekui, security chief Lu Qingying and the union leaders.

The net bag in Secretary Xiao Liu's hand was filled with canned fruit, malted milk and milk powder wrapped in kraft paper.

These gifts may not be considered a big deal in later generations, but in 57, milk powder was a high-end nutritional product that was not found in ordinary homes.

After the doctor finished the examination, Liu Dekui asked, "Doctor, is his injury serious? Will there be any sequelae?"

"It's not serious. You can be discharged after two days of recuperation. However, you need to increase your nutrition after discharge."

"Thank you doctor."

After seeing off the medical staff, Gao Xiaoguang sat up and was about to get out of bed when he was stopped by Liu Dekui and others.

"Thank you all for taking the time to visit me."

"You are our factory's treasure. When everyone heard that you had been sabotaged by enemy agents, they all wanted to come and see you. But you also know that the factory has a heavy production workload, so the factory director brought a few of us representatives to visit you."

"The leaders and doctors have all said that I can go back to work after a few days of recovery from my injuries."

"There is always work to be done. Listen to the doctor and recover before being discharged from the hospital," the union chairman comforted.

"Thank you, leader."

Gao Xiaobin did not refute. In any era, when employees were injured, leaders would always carry out some image projects. His rebuttal would be a slap in the face of the leaders.

"Comrade Xiao Gao, I understand you're worried about the lab work. I can tell you that the 15-horsepower, single-cylinder, water-cooled engine was assembled yesterday and is currently undergoing testing."

Hearing what the factory director said, Gao Xiaoguang was surprised at how efficient Teacher Fang Xueying, Xiang Hu and others were at work.

Liu Dekui added: "I have another good news to tell you. The leaders have agreed that the First Ministry of Machine Building will take the lead and form a group of imitation experts in conjunction with professors from the Mechanical Department of Beijing Normal University to go to Hongxing Automobile City to observe and study the 100-ton hydraulic press.

Our factory also has a quota, which was specially reserved for you by the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building."

"The factory director thanked the leaders on my behalf. I will definitely cherish this opportunity to observe and learn."

"..."

"..."

After expressing his condolences for a few words, the leader left the ward to visit other colleagues in the technical department, while the factory director and Lu Qingying stayed.

Liu Dekui apologized, "Comrade Xiao Gao, I apologize to you. If it weren't for me, you and Comrades Zhengyang and Mincai wouldn't have gone to Quanjude."

"The factory director doesn't blame you. Who would have thought that Li Deli was such a traitor?" Gao Xiaoguang comforted.

"This damn spy got away with it!" Lu Qingying was indignant. He wanted to whip Li Deli's corpse, but D's discipline did not allow it. At this moment, he didn't know where to vent his anger.
