Chapter 59
Border Distortion Quarantine Zone
The helicopter landed on the old tarmac, and Jiang Zihan keenly smelled a strong smell of medicine. The captain said it was specially sprayed to drive away the out-of-control beast.
When the hatch opened, Jiang Zihan saw the gray mountains in the distance at first sight. In order to eliminate the harm caused by the spread of deformed mutants, they had burned half of the mountain.
There are several guard towers standing around, high and low. Fully armed soldiers stand with guns, vigilantly watching the surrounding situation. At the same time, there are many drones patrolling around, leaving almost no blind spots.
Feng Xiangming looked at Zhuifeng and Shunying, who had followed Jiang Zihan, and his eyes flickered for a moment. He stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry to invite you here under these circumstances."
He was wearing a thick isolation suit, and his originally handsome face looked a bit weathered. It seemed that he had not had a good rest for a long time.
There were iron walls everywhere, and many cannon barrels extended from the holes in the walls. As soon as Zhuifeng landed, his muscles tensed up and his pupils straightened into a thin line. This was the land he had conquered before, and the soil was filled with the smell of old blood.
Under guidance, Jiang Zihan and others put on protective masks and led the two war beasts to enter the safe zone. Then, after walking a few steps, they saw Zhuifeng stop and began to look around vigilantly.
Jiang Zihan raised her hand slightly, and her mental power spread out, causing Feng Xiangming to look over in surprise. There was a slight vibration from the ground, and she turned around suddenly. Something was approaching rapidly.
Two figures, one black and one white, rushed out quickly, and soon came back with something black in their mouths.
Lu Chenyuan quickly took out some clean water to rinse their mouths, and Jiang Zihan picked up a branch and turned it over to examine the thing.
"Don't worry, they're just low-level distorted lizards. These distorted beasts don't have high intelligence and are no different from ordinary animals," Feng Xiangming said. "We just cleaned them out last week. Maybe the potion's effectiveness has worn off, so they're coming here to feed again."
Jiang Zihan frowned. The situation here was too bad. Not to mention the war beasts, the soldiers were probably not having a good time either.
Zhuifeng suddenly rushed between the two of them, blocking Jiang Zihan tightly in front of him, and growled a warning in one direction. Feng Xiangming's face changed, and he immediately drew his gun and fired in that direction. Several gunshots rang out, and light sounds fell to the ground.
"Looks like we need to disinfect in advance." Feng Xiangming couldn't help but smile bitterly. "You guys go in first. Someone will lead the way to the temporary emergency center."
"Are you really not going to pick up Zhuifeng?" Jiang Zihan lowered her head and patted the furry back. Zhuifeng rubbed her hand gently, then turned around and stared at the tall man in front of him.
Feng Xiangming froze.
After a while, he still shook his head: "Not now."
He curled his fingers slightly. "The military is still investigating, and the situation is still a bit chaotic, especially my position. If I add an S-rank war beast, I'll be in danger once the border war is over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuifeng looked at him with a hint of disgust. He turned his head away and buried his big head in Jiang Zihan's arms, and a few dissatisfied whimpers came from his throat.
This huge white tiger, standing a full meter tall, had shiny fur and looked very healthy. Jiang Zihan took good care of it.
Jiang Zihan understood what it meant and patted its back soothingly. "I'm not saying I'm giving it to you, I'm saying I'm borrowing it. While I'm still at the border, you can take care of Zhuifeng. Once the joint consultation is over, I'll bring him back to the island. How about that?"
Feng Xiangming took a deep breath and said, "Let's wait until we've cleared the obstacles within the Legion before..."
"By then, it may not be willing to go with you." Jiang Zihan interrupted him.
There was a rumbling explosion in the distance, and Zhuifeng immediately entered combat mode. Seeing the urgent situation, Jiang Zihan hurriedly said, "Zhuifeng will be in your care for the time being. It might be dead!"
Jiang Zihan was almost pushed into the base by Shunying. As soon as the push from behind disappeared, she turned her head and saw the figure hurriedly leaving.
Lu Chenyuan: "Don't worry, the battlefield is their home ground."
Jiang Zihan sighed, "How can I not worry? Even if they have a lot of experience, they've spent all this time on the island eating and sleeping. They've gained several pounds of fat. What if they become unwell?"
As the saying goes, "A mother worries about her son even when he is a thousand miles away." As a "stepmother," she is indeed a little worried.
After arriving at the emergency center, Lu Chenyuan and Shunying were also "borrowed away". It seemed that the situation outside was indeed very bad.
Jiang Zihan pushed open the door and walked into the place where she would work for a short time.
"From the Land of Exile?" The masked military doctor glanced at Jiang Zihan's pass, his eyes filled with suspicion. "In that kind of place... how could there be any regular doctors? I'm afraid you're practicing medicine without a license?"
The younger doctor next to him knew more and whispered, "I've watched the Star Network live broadcast. She's really good at treating war beasts."
"The signal at the border is so bad, and you still have the energy to watch this nonsense?" The military doctor said impatiently. "If you have the time, you'd be better off watching some instructional videos to hone your skills."
"Since she was sent down from above, let her try. We are also short of staff. If you are really worried, let her help first." The doctor next to him yawned loudly, and the dark circles under his eyes looked like he had been punched.
The former military doctor sighed inaudibly, "Since you've been vouched for, you can help out in Operating Room 3 for now."
The tired doctor patted her shoulder and said, "My name is Xiao Wen. Work hard. I'm going to get some sleep first. If there's anything I can't handle, call me in the lounge over there. Thank you for your hard work."
The alarms in the emergency center sounded one after another, and doctors in protective suits were running back and forth in a hurry. The pungent smell of disinfectant and blood mixed together in the air, making it difficult to breathe.
The serious doctor did not stay for long and soon returned to his original post.
The young doctor whispered, "Doctor Jiang, right? Don't mind me. Doctor Els is like that. He values ​​qualifications and ability the most. After all, in the emergency center, all the patients who come in are seriously injured. If you're not careful, you could make a big mistake. He hasn't rested for 48 hours, so his emotions are a little out of control. Don't mind me."
Jiang Zihan nodded, put on a mask and was about to walk towards the so-called Operating Room No. 3 when the emergency passage suddenly lit up.
A team of fully armed soldiers rushed in: "Get out of the way!"
The warrior at the front was holding a bloody feline war beast in his arms. Its left front paw was almost stuck with some corrosive liquid, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
Dr. Els rushed out: "Quick! Wash the wound immediately!"
The injured war beast seemed to smell something, suddenly opened its eyes and looked around.
The soldier holding it was about to cry with snot: "Huhu! It doesn't hurt, huhu, it will be fine soon."
Jiang Zihan paused as she was organizing her tools. "Whoa?" She ignored the strange looks from those around her and desperately pushed her way into the crowd.
When Huhu saw the familiar figure, he immediately struggled and meowed loudly and aggrievedly, as if he was complaining to his parents.
The soldier was startled when a figure quickly rushed over. Els's eyebrows raised, and he was about to scold the ignorant young doctor who was hindering the treatment when he heard the soldier shout, "Doctor Jiang! Great, please check on Huhu. She's been sprayed with the mucus of the corrosive beast. It's all my fault..."
Jiang Zihan carefully picked up Huhu and felt heartbroken looking at the pitiful little Phantom Cat. These were Phantom Cat's first batch of children, who had followed her all the way here. Who would have known that they would be so seriously injured not long after leaving the base.
She began to clean the wound silently, burying her head in her arms dependently, whimpering aggrievedly from time to time in her throat, but she did not struggle no matter how painful it was.
The surrounding military doctors looked at each other in confusion.
Els looked at the military doctors gathered in a circle, his face immediately darkening. The busy emergency center couldn't stop operating. "What are you looking at? Is it really that good? Get moving!"
The crowd dispersed immediately.
Els thought for a moment, then took out a few reagents from the medicine cabinet nearby and brought them to Operating Room 3. "Use this. It's the latest product developed by the Federal Pharmaceutical Company. It's helpful for wounds caused by corrosive liquids."
Jiang Zihan looked up in surprise, only to see that the other party had changed into a new pair of gloves and started working again.
"Meow?" Huhu moved a few times, moved closer to her face, and gently touched her with the tip of his wet and cool nose.
Jiang Zihan applied the new medicine and used his mental strength to rub the kitten's head soothingly. The kitten gently closed its eyes and fell asleep peacefully in this unfamiliar operating room.
Several more runaway war beasts were sent in from behind. Due to lack of manpower, they could not be arranged. Els hesitated for a moment and called Jiang Zihan to come over to help treat them.
Jiang Zihan put on gloves neatly and pressed the injured leopard a few times with rapid speed. The leopard, which was struggling violently, suddenly lost its strength, stared with wide eyes but did not dare to move at all.
"What did you do?" Els was a little confused. He could see that these actions did not hurt the war beast, but why did they make it calm down immediately and even start to tremble faintly?
Jiang Zihan smiled and said, "Just suppress it with the aura of a higher-level war beast."
Els was skeptical. They had tried this method before, but it never had such a good effect. Could it be that the war beast they found was not advanced enough?
Working together, the cheetah's wound was quickly healed. Ayers's eyes flickered with admiration. It seemed he'd judged her by her appearance; her deft and precise movements showed she was indeed a qualified doctor. This collaboration was also a test; only after witnessing it with his own eyes could he confidently hand the war weapon to her.
By the time Xiao Wen came out after resting, Jiang Zihan had already cured three seriously injured war beasts in a row. Even the surgeon who originally asked her to assist had quietly given up his position and went to a new operating room.
Xiao Wen stood at the door of the operating room and grabbed the doctor. "What's going on? She's doing it alone now? Also, what's going on with that feline war beast? Shouldn't they transfer it to another hospital after emergency treatment?"
The doctor shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. I can't beat her with my knife, so I can only make room. As for the war beast, it seems that she raised it. It just went to the battlefield and was injured while saving its comrades. Now it sees the breeder and refuses to leave. It insists on staying here." As he spoke, he felt a little fantasy, and happily went to find an empty operating room to work.
Xiao Wen scratched his head. Wasn't he a doctor? How did he become a war beast breeder?
