While the Joint Base was celebrating its victory, the Russians braved the snowstorm and reached the underwater base.
The Arctic was frozen, but the entrance to the underwater base was still on the ice.
They killed the sentries, poured crude oil down the vents, and threw a few smoke bombs, and blocked the vents when they were almost burned.
Anyone who wanted to come out would be shot into a sieve.
That time alone, half of the people in the Joint Base were killed or injured.
There were several more battles later, and neither side got what they wanted. There
was another bloody fight yesterday. Not only did the Russians run out of ammunition, but they also ran out of medicine. But they couldn't watch their companions die, so they had to come out and try their luck.
I didn't expect to meet the Chinese, but after being forced to retreat, I could only dig out the bullets with my bare hands.
I didn't expect it to get worse today, so I had to take the risk again.
Yin Fante expressed his purpose again, "As long as it can save people, wine or ham, corn and potatoes are all fine."
Jiang Ning did not speak, but made eye contact with Huo Yishen.
Huo Yishen looked down at Bai Xue, thought for a while and said, "You can try."
Bai Xue had a scar on her body, which was caused by a machine.
Therefore, it is a fact that there are other survivors in the Arctic.
And the wolf pole holds grudges. If it was the Mao bear that hurt it, it would not be as calm as it is now.
It's still the same sentence, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It doesn't have to be a close friend, but it can be cultivated in special times. There is no need to make enemies.
Jiang Ning agreed after weighing the pros and cons.
The most precious things in the end times are food and medicine. The Maozi have no shortage of food, and as for medicine...
Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. Let alone giving them herbs, even the survivors in the country may not use them.
However, Jiang Ning said the ugly words in advance, "We don't have western medicine, and we don't have many herbal medicines, so we can't guarantee a cure."
Yin Fante was very happy, "It doesn't matter, if you can cure it, that's the best. If you can't, I'll still give you a ham and two bottles of wine, just as we're making friends."
Jiang Ning replied, "Drag those two patients over."
They could only drag one by one, and the others had to wait where they were and not get close.
Yin Fante walked back on the snow and called a companion to drag the unconscious patient on the sled over.
He is worthy of being a bear, born with resistance to cold.
He was so sick, but he didn't die even after being dragged over in the snow.
There was also a ham and two bottles of wine on the sled.
The amount of food that bears eat is proportional to their bodies.
The authentic pork ham still weighs more than ten pounds after being dried.
Huo Yishen asked Yin Fante and his companions to retreat fifty meters, and Jiang Ning squatted down to take the patient's pulse and check his eyelids.
It's infected.
The temperature in the wild is too low to check the wound.
Jiang Ning searched the two people and made sure they had no weapons, so he called Doudou to drag the two people home.
Huo Yishen and Gou Zi stayed where they were, staring at Yi Fante and the Maozi in the distance.
Jiang Ning collected all the things that shouldn't be there, and then dragged the two sick Maozi back to the house.
The house was warm, and after they recovered, she began to check the wound.
The Maozi was indeed fierce. He sprayed vodka on the wound and then dug out the bullet with a dagger.
As expected, it was 100% infected.
Jiang Ning needed to dig out the necrotic muscle of the wound and then suture it.
Reluctant to use anesthesia, Jiang Ning used acupuncture to relieve pain and block blood flow, blocked the patient's mouth, tied the body with ropes, and performed the operation after disinfecting the instruments...
As expected, the unconscious Maozi was awakened by the pain, howling.
He looked around the unfamiliar environment, realized that he was being saved, and endured the pain.
But his body was so weak that he soon fainted from the pain.
After skillfully treating the first one, Jiang Ning followed the same method to suture the second one.
After treating the external injuries, she went into the room to get medicine from the space.
Some were decocted and some were boiled to clean the wound.
Yin Fante said that there were several purely external injuries. Seeing that the Maozi were generous, Jiang Ning also prescribed a few doses of herbal medicine.
Then, he dragged the man and the herbal medicine back.
Jiang Ning only gave three days' supply, told Yin Fante how to take it, and a few simple acupuncture point massages.
Yin Fante had been in China for a few years and had some knowledge of Chinese medicine. "Jiang, Huo, thank you, I'll go back and try it."
At the same time, he did not forget to remind that the people at the joint base were ruthless, "Be careful, don't let them find you."
Jiang Ning smiled, "Hurry up, they will freeze if you're late."
After watching them disappear at the end of the snow, the three of them patrolled around before returning.
After entering the house, Jiang Ning opened the bottle.
It was indeed vodka, with a mellow and spicy aroma, and a high-proof liquor.
The ham was also made of real ingredients, and it was well preserved, and it didn't smell strange.
However, Jiang Ning did not try it easily, but put it in the space to preserve it.
For two days, nothing unusual was found.
It was a rare calm day in the Arctic. Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen were shoveling snow in front of the house, while Doudou and the two were keeping watch on the snow hill.
On the morning of the third day, Yin Fante came again.
Knowing that Jiang Ning was on high alert, he came alone, carrying an empty gun with no bullets for show.
It was freezing cold, and he almost froze to death on the way here. Shivering, he took two sips of vodka to warm himself up.
When he warmed up, he rubbed his hands and smiled, "Jiang, your Chinese medicine is amazing. Those two guys survived. Thank you."
He came to trade this time, wanting to exchange more herbs.
"Are there any vegetables?" After living in the Arctic for a few months, Yin Fante couldn't help swallowing his saliva. "I heard that every Chinese person can grow vegetables. In the past, your scientific expedition team grew vegetables in the Arctic, and our country's scientific expedition team often came here to eat vegetables. At that time, the two countries were as close as one family. I hope you can exchange some vegetables with us."
Every day they had either potatoes, corn, or frozen meat jerky. The smell made him want to vomit.
They missed the green vegetables.
The Chinese are a very peculiar nation. I heard that they are also studying how to grow vegetables on the moon, so isn't it normal to grow vegetables in the Arctic?
"No."
Even if there is, Jiang Ning will not give it to them.
People's appetites will be enlarged by feeding. Last time they gave herbs, this time they asked for vegetables, next time they should ask for something else.
It's a pity that there are no vegetables, but Ivante insisted on asking for herbs, "Many of our people are sick, we can exchange them for supplies."
In addition to potatoes, corn and ham, they also have crude oil.
Maybe there is nothing else, but the bears are rich in crude oil, and they brought a lot of it.
Without refined crude oil, Jiang Ning would be useless. At most, it can only be used as a combustible, but the black smoke is particularly large.
Burning crude oil in the Arctic, isn't this exposing the coordinates and inviting the enemy to visit?
She is not that stupid.
As for medicine, she can give some.
I don't expect to become friends, but at least don't become enemies.
Before asking for wine and ham, in order to show that his family is not rich, Jiang Ning said he would give the herbs he could give, and then asked for 100 kilograms of corn and potatoes each.
Ivante felt that it was not a good deal, but who made him lack medicine, so he did not bargain.
At the same time, he also extended an olive branch, "Jiang, Huo, you Chinese have an idiom called lips and teeth are cold..."
His purpose of coming today is not just for medicine, but to form an alliance.
