Hello, Arknights

Chapter 382 Treatment

The Windermere Army acted decisively with excellent judgment. The first shell was specifically fired at the Hybrid Earthshaker. After several battles, the bloody demon had no room to dodge. The precise artillery fire completely damaged its heavily burdened body, and finally it was annihilated in the artillery fire along with a large number of bloody monsters.

From tactical planning to execution and then to precise strikes, this fleet stationed far away on the border can be said to have only returned as a support to put an end to the unrest here. Moreover, after repelling the blood tide, it did not rashly enter the Changquan Town area immediately. After the blood mist dissipated and basic communication means were restored, it contacted Madeline, the commander of the Changquan Town battle, and brought people to the suburbs for material support.

When Windermere saw the wounded and disabled soldiers appearing in small numbers, anger welled up in her eyes and her dissatisfaction with Caster grew stronger. In her opinion, from besieging without attacking to sending the Steam Knights to die alone, Caster was extremely unqualified as a Duke. And she could sit in this position for so many years, it must be impossible for her to be so stupid.

"How are they preparing?"

"Your Excellency, progress is slow. According to them... they have suffered heavy losses, and there are less than 500 people available to participate in the rescue operation."

Windermere stood facing the wind, her cloak rustling. She gazed at the devastated Changquan Town area for a long time and said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order. Ship No. 4 should prepare safety measures and be ready to receive the wounded."

"Your Excellency, the intelligence we have indicates that... over 90% of their personnel are infected."

“…So take safety measures and control their range of activities.”

"Your Excellency the Duke, think twice. The Originium dust explosion that may be caused by the death of an infected person may affect an entire floor of the fleet if we are not careful. We do not have the relevant technical conditions." The sword guard reminded again.

"But our 'guests' do." Filin sighed at his fate, and the sword guard immediately realized who the Duke was referring to: "Are you referring to the team from the pharmaceutical company on board? But they are guests invited by Caister..."

"Now that they are on my ship, they are naturally my 'guests'." Windermere waved his hand. "Do as I say. Invite Dr. Precious."

At this moment, another officer came running over, saluted, and reported, "Your Excellency, the Duke, the doctor from Rhodes Island wishes to see you."

"What a coincidence?" Windermere was surprised. "Bring her in."

Let’s put aside the second meeting between Rhodes Island and Victoria Jianfeng for the time being and go to the wounded camp in Changquan Town.

Ling Dengxian, who was able to move without any hindrance, took on the duties of a doctor. The Infected Corps was extremely short of military doctors, and did not have sufficient medical conditions and medicines. Without the timely material support from the Windermere Fleet, he would be powerless.

Even so, the sudden downturn in the second half of the battle with the blood-red monsters led to a surge in the number of seriously injured soldiers, but in fact the number was much smaller than expected.

In such an almost one-sided battle, it is difficult for the wounded to survive.

"Ahem... Bai Ge, you are still a doctor..." The dying orator couldn't help but sigh after seeing Ling Dengxian. The other party faced a more brutal battle, and after suffering the same serious injuries, he was still able to stand up and rescue with his bruised body, while he and his colleagues who were lucky enough to survive could hardly even breathe or speak.

"I'm from a pharmaceutical company. You should be thankful that I have a good senior sister who taught you everything you needed to know." Ling Dengxian handed him a towel and patted his arm, signaling him to relax. "I'm going to remove the bone spur from your back. Bear with me and relax."

"... Baige, later... can you help me take a look at the wound on my chest? I always feel..."

"I think the mineral disease is still unreliable. The flesh and blood growing on your chest that doesn't belong to you is not dead yet, right?" Ling Dengxian knew his situation very well. Lafushini had asked him to take good care of the wounded who were infected with the bloody plague in the deep pool.

“…You know everything.”

"You have a responsible leader—I'm going to take action."

Not everyone can suppress the screams caused by severe pain, especially someone who has experienced his immature techniques before.

"Doctor White Dove is very good at making patients remember him." White-haired Rupert appeared beside him, with more bandages than before and a white sword slung over his shoulder. It seemed that he was recalling some "good" memories.

"Don't criticize me. I'm much more professional in dealing with you now than I was before." Ling Dengxian threw the bone spur into the recycling bin beside him. These dangerous goods may still be infectious and need to be carefully recycled and destroyed.

"Am I special then?"

"It hurts a lot."

Ling Dengxian was extremely helpless against this guy's teasing. Fortunately, even someone like Mostima had almost gotten used to it. His internal organs were still in pain, and his movements were inconvenient. "Lappland, if you're okay, come and give me a hand. I'm also injured."

In fact, there were few people in the area who were not injured. Lappland did not panic and came over to help him.

He quickly stopped the bleeding, bandaged the Orator's back, and gestured to Lappland to help him turn over. "Orator, I'm going to help you remove the alienated flesh and blood. After this, don't move around. You won't be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month."

"Thank you..." The orator was well versed in rhetoric, but at this moment, thousands of words could not compare to the sincerity of these two words.

Ling Dengxian didn't even spare a glance at the hideous flesh buds. He simply cut away the disgusting flesh like a weed. Sure enough, the flesh buds were quickly cut away, leaving only faint traces of blood. They were no longer part of his body; they had died under the suppression of the mineral sickness.

"Mr. White Dove! There is a seriously injured soldier who has just been sent here! The situation is very serious!" Blond-haired Vayfan said anxiously as he opened the tent.

"Send the orator back—push him in! Let me see."

There were footsteps, and he met Draco's eyes as he carried in the wounded. He had not received the bad news of Deep Pool's death, and he knew that with her strength, there was no need to worry too much, but the white cloth all over the field in the morning still made him speechless, and when he saw with his own eyes that his friend was still alive, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Ravshini's strong physique allowed her to recover quickly. She herself hadn't sustained much damage, thanks to Abrana's final protection. She had suffered more mental damage from overexerting her bloodline abilities and exhaustion from overdrawing her physical strength. After recovering, she immediately joined the ranks of those rescuing the wounded.

"This way." Without saying anything, just confirming that each of them was alive, Lavshini and Ling Dengxian did not forget the priorities.

After seeing the condition of the injured person, Ling Dengxian's face changed. The serious injury left him almost hanging on. He immediately released Bai Yan to prevent the injury from worsening, and then quickly determined the necessity of surgery.

But he had no surgical experience at all, and only knew the theoretical knowledge that Yaye had explained to him, without even having time to explain the cases in detail.

"He needs surgery, but I'm not qualified and I don't have the experience!" Ling Dengxian concluded without hesitation, "Are there any other military doctors?"

“…” Ravshini’s silence made the answer pronounced with a sense of powerlessness.

There were not many doctors who could rescue the wounded together with Ling Dengxian. The military doctors in Shenchi did not have the demand and therefore did not have the corresponding level. The infected regiment did not have any serious doctors and could only rescue the wounded with minor injuries.

Just as Ling Dengxian was determined to shoulder the burden of the wounded man's life and risk his life, an unexpected figure hurried into the tent. In a very short time, he had completed the preliminary work of tying his hair and dressing himself. He gestured to him to move aside without hesitation and tossed him a new pair of gloves: "Help me. Do whatever I say."

Ling Dengxian was overjoyed and immediately made room.

The person who came was Yaye, who was affiliated with the doctor's direct team of Victoria Operation in Rhodes Island. After discussing with the doctor and Windermere, he led the Rhodes Island medical team to venture into Changquan Town to provide medical support.

Knowing that they could not help, Lavishini and Lappland left the tent. When the curtain fell, Huang saw his long-lost friend through the gap.

He wasn't hurt...

He was not injured in such a brutal battle.

Hypocrite...or the instigator...

The heart of disaster conveys terrible thoughts in the gloomy curtain of curse, and the laughter of small debris is extremely flammable.

"When can we see the brilliant fireworks?"
