Chapter 86: Mountains 1
Simple medical station behind the front line due to the mountains
Su Mei tilted her head and clenched her teeth, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, her face extremely pale and she stood motionless.
The medical staff quickly and skillfully wrapped a roll of yellowed medical gauze tightly around her slender waist.
There was a hole as big as a fist, going straight through the back of the waist. It was pierced by a mutant horned bull when it went berserk.
Seeing that the blood had seeped through the gauze again, the nurse frowned and began to rummage through the trolley beside her.
"Damn it! There's not even any hemostatic medicine left! They're all gone!"
"No, it's okay. Just wrap it around me again, and it will be fine. Tighten it tighter." The waves of intense pain almost made her lose her mind. Su Mei bit her tongue and forced herself to stay awake.
She couldn't fall down yet, her teammates were still on the front line, and she had to rush over to support them.
The young nurse had no choice but to pick up another roll of gauze and said, "Bear with it and try wrapping it again."
At that moment, Su Mei's eyelids were twitching in pain, and countless white lights flashed before her eyes.
It really hurts!
"Xiao Lin! Come quickly! Another group of injured people has arrived!"
The simple wooden door was suddenly pushed open and an urgent voice rushed in.
"Hey! Here I come!" The young nurse responded loudly, quickly tied the knot, grabbed the cart and ran away.
"Xiao Lin, go over there! I'll leave those eight people to you!"
"knew!"
The hurried footsteps outside the door gradually moved away, and Su Mei took a deep breath to ease the pain.
After a few seconds, she stretched out her left hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, then moved her legs and stood up again.
She closed her eyes, anxiously waiting for the black scene to disappear.
She lost a lot of blood, but that wasn't a problem. The important thing was that her comrades on the front line were still fighting!
After her vision cleared again, Su Mei stepped outside and pushed open the wooden door. Many wounded were lying on the dry yellow ground, all wrapped in layers of gauze, their faces filled with unbearable pain.
Su Mei walked past the wounded without looking around, and picked up a wounded man's triangular spear with his only usable left hand and weighed it.
It's pretty easy.
"Captain Su! Where are you going?!"
Xiao Lin suddenly saw Su Mei running out brandishing a sword right after bandaging the wound, and he was so angry that he put down the tray in his hand heavily.
"Just lie down in there! Don't you know you have a big hole in your stomach and a broken right arm?! Do you want to die right now?!"
"Let go. My comrades are still on the battlefield, I can't abandon them!" Su Mei's eyes were fierce, she shook off the nurse's hand, and walked out with firm steps.
"Hey, your teammates are all here! Why are you still going to the front lines?!"
The little nurse stamped her feet, grabbed her arm again, and dragged her forcefully to the west side of the cabin.
"Look, they're all there! Don't run around! I'm so worried!"
The young nurse pointed at several wounded soldiers whose faces were covered with black and red stains, and left her to continue the rescue.
It's been a rough few days! The three psychics at the medical station who can heal have all been transferred away, and there are still a lot of wounded people. We don't even have enough medical equipment! We can only rely on hard work!
Seven wounded soldiers were lying on the bare ground, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, enduring the pain coming from deep inside their bodies. When they heard the nurse's voice, they slowly turned their heads to look, their lost pupils slowly focusing, silently staring at Su Mei.
team leader.
Su Mei felt a sharp pain in her heart when she saw this scene. The battlefield was changing rapidly and getting injured was too normal... She silently counted the team members and found that there were only 7 of them, 12 people were missing!
"Those 12 people are still on the front lines? You guys take good care of yourselves and I'll go to the front lines to provide support."
Su Mei didn't have time to take a closer look at their injuries. She was extremely anxious when she thought that there were still 12 people fighting alone on the front line!
"Captain, ahem, don't go. There are only a few of us left, ahem." Mao Yuanyuan grabbed her trouser leg, her eyes full of sadness.
"What?!"
"They're all gone! Captain! Cough cough cough!"
Su Mei felt dizzy and her eyes were filled with blood.
"12 people, all gone?"
The seven people lying on the ground turned their heads to the side, and crystal tears oozed from the corners of their eyes. Before they fell, they turned black, as if the condensed grief was so severe that even light could not escape.
Those 12 people bravely died to cover their retreat, so that some of them could survive!
As if the sky had collapsed, Su Mei took a few steps back and fell to the ground, her left hand hanging limply at her side, mumbling absentmindedly:
"How could this happen... It's all my fault... If I were..."
"No! Captain! It has nothing to do with you! Don't blame yourself!"
"Yes, Captain, it has nothing to do with you."
The teammates lying on the ground endured the pain and raised their upper bodies, stretching out their hands to pat the captain's shoulders.
Losing 12 of their closest comrades at once was hard for them to accept, not to mention the captain. However, this was a battlefield, and being on the front line meant separation of life and death. They had known that for a long time, hadn't they?
Forcibly driving the 12 extremely familiar faces out of her mind, Su Mei rubbed her sore eyes and raised her head. "You two should take good care of yourselves first. I'll go find you something to eat and drink. Wait for me to come back."
Su Mei stood up again and hid the sadness in her eyes.
Now is not the time to be sad, there are still 7 teammates waiting for supplies to survive, she has to go and get them.
——
Outside the materials management department, Su Mei was stopped by someone who said that the minister was in talks and asked her to wait a moment.
Su Mei straightened her back and looked straight ahead with bright eyes.
Seeing that she was quite well-behaved, the guard gave her two warnings and then went to do other things. A new batch of crystal cores had recently arrived, and the quantity was huge. Minister Dong Changbing asked that they be carefully watched and that no mistakes be made.
The sun was shining brightly, the temperature rose sharply, and layers of heat waves were surging in the air.
Su Mei lifted her stiff legs and tried to walk to the shade to avoid the sun. She was weak now, and there were many things she needed to deal with. She must not fall down!
Just then a breeze blew by, bringing a string of conversations into her ears.
"Brother Changbing, despite the disruption caused by the Third Squad this time, there are still some survivors. Look, according to the previous plan, do we have to arrange for them to go to the battlefield again?"
"Well, that's the only way. So, tomorrow I will..."
As if the voice was lowered intentionally, the second half was blown away by the wind and disappeared.
Su Mei's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she vaguely felt that what was being said was related to their Ninth Team.
And inside is her mortal enemy Wajon!
A nameless anger rushed into her heart, and she walked straight forward and knocked on the door, causing the two men to panic.
"Who?!" Dong Changbing cleared his throat and waved his hand to signal Wa Qiong to sit down and not panic. "Come in!"
Su Mei pushed the door open and went in.
"It's Captain Su. Captain Su came here in person. Is there something urgent?" Dong Changbing clasped her hands together and placed them on the table, with her usual smile on her face.
Su Mei glanced at Wa Qiong beside her, pursed her lips, and turned to look at Dong Changbing.
"Minister, I'm here hoping you can approve some food and water for me. My teammates are in urgent need."
