Sighing deeply, Rod stared at the hospital ceiling, trying hard to organize his memories.
He recalled participating in a secret activity to meet a visitor from Jiuxia at a covert military port. That visitor from Jiuxia was... what was it again?
Rod couldn't remember clearly, but then his memory shifted to the arrival of the Jiuxia Mission. As a translation officer, he led them around, and then encountered that rare violent storm.
The storm was fiercer than last year's, even stirring up the Thames River. It surged onto the streets and infiltrated underground, causing aged pipelines to shatter, leading to further disaster.
In Rod's memory, things happened like this: he was hit on the head by falling rubble while sheltering the Jiuxia guests, passed out, and upon waking, found himself in the hospital.
