Chapter 104 Post-War Arrangements
The smoke of the battle at the main star port gradually dissipated, and Ye Heng took Lin Yao back to the Chiying base to plan the post-war cleanup work.
In the command room, the holographic projection screen clearly divided the names of "captives" and "traitors".
The red spots of light represent the soldiers brought by Zhao Cheng, and the blue spots of light represent the former officers who betrayed Chi Ying. The temporary detention location is marked behind each name.
Ordinary soldiers were confined to the confinement room on the west side of the base, guarded by Red Shadow soldiers;
Du Ming and other rebellious officers, as well as Zhao Cheng and his confidants, were imprisoned in cells and were not allowed to contact anyone except for daily food supplies.
"For the time being, treat the soldiers as regular prisoners of war. Record their status every day. Do not treat them harshly, but do not let your guard down either." Ye Heng's fingertips slid across the projection screen, his tone steady.
"After all, they are just ordinary soldiers brought by Zhao Cheng. There is no need to kill them all. We can deal with them after the situation stabilizes."
Lin Yao looked at the list of "traitors". "What about Du Ming and the others? According to the Red Shadow Military Regulations, those who betray the base will be executed or exiled, but now..."
"Now," Ye Heng's eyes darkened, "Du Ming is easy to deal with. We can just execute him on the spot, but the others are more difficult to deal with."
"Logically, they should have been exiled, but now that patrol ship has returned to the Central Star with the news..."
"Are you afraid that after you exile them, they will take advantage of the lax supervision to escape and leak the current situation of the base to the empire?" Ye Heng didn't finish his words, but Lin Yao already understood what he meant.
They want to rebel against the empire, which is equivalent to tearing their relations apart. At this time, the most important thing to guard against is the leakage of specific information about the Red Shadow Base.
This group of traitors are officers of the Red Shadow, and they are considered to be people who know the Red Shadow base, so they cannot be released.
"It's okay to stay. Is there a place to detain them?" Lin Yao no longer worried about whether he could deal with these people according to military regulations, but asked Ye Heng if there was a place to detain them.
"For now, I'll just stay in the cell," Ye Heng thought about it and realized that the cell seemed to be the only option.
Lin Yao said yes and recorded the disposal plan on the terminal.
Anyway, that group of people have been poisoned by Shasha, so just lock them up in the cell and let Ye Mang and others keep an eye on the situation during their daily patrols.
Lin Yao was writing and thinking at the same time, but his brows were still furrowed. Suddenly he turned to look at Ye Heng who was sorting documents and asked, "Where's the guide?"
His voice carried a subtle solemnity.
"The base is currently without a guide, which is a very disadvantageous thing for Chi Ying.
The sentinels' mental state needs to be addressed; long-term lack of guidance can easily lead to mental disorders."
Ye Heng's fingertips paused on the light screen, and the tapping rhythm suddenly stopped.
He looked up at Lin Yao, a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes. Lin Yao was right.
Ye Heng slid his fingertips and called up the sentry files of the Red Shadow Base. The dense red marks on the screen were particularly glaring.
When Zhao Cheng took control of the base, he sent all of Chiying's original guides back to the Central Star under the pretext of imperial deployment.
Now in the base, apart from the guides brought by Zhao Cheng, there is not even a guide who can provide basic spiritual counseling.
Moreover, in order to further disintegrate Chiying, Zhao Cheng would not use the guides he brought with him for Chiying soldiers. Even distributing some diuretic drugs and agreeing to use the diuretic chamber were very harsh.
Therefore, the Red Shadow Soldiers are in a very bad condition now.
Lin Yao leaned in front of the light screen and glanced at the "Mental Status Assessment" in the file.
Nearly half of the Sentinels' assessments have changed from "stable" to "slightly fluctuating."
There were also sentries who were originally marked as needing medication, and the status bar read "Can no longer be maintained by medication, guide evacuation as soon as possible."
Not to mention those sentries who originally needed guides to guide them, and who knew that their medicines were useless, but just endured it.
"The sentinels need counseling. Even those with the mildest symptoms need to rely on medication and treatment chambers to maintain their condition, not to mention those who are heavily dependent on guides." Lin Yao's tone was full of worry.
Lin Yao can suppress their fluctuation value, but Lin Yao and Ye Heng still have to go to the place provided by Lin Ruheng to get evidence. What will happen to these soldiers when he is not in the base later?
“I can do a big grooming, but if there is no guide afterwards,
Even with medication, their condition will only get worse. By then, not to mention combat, even daily duties will be a problem."
Faced with the problem that Lin Yao pointed out incisively, Ye Heng remained silent, tapping the light screen again with his fingertips, the rhythm a little faster than before, obviously he was also anxious about this matter.
"And the base's medicines are a problem right now." Ye Heng followed up on his words, his eyes falling on the "Medical Supplies" label in the corner of the screen.
"The stock of diuretic drugs is definitely running low. Zhao Cheng was only thinking about withholding supplies to please the Third Prince, so he may not fully supply the medical department."
Ye Heng then raised his hand and pressed the communicator, connecting to the channel of the head of the medical department: "Director Zhang, how long can the sentinel-type drugs currently on hand at the base last at the current dosage?"
Director Zhang's slightly embarrassed voice came from the other end of the communicator, with a hint of helplessness:
"Marshal, if we only maintain basic needs, that is, give the lowest dose to the sentinels with mild fluctuations, and give priority to the treatment chambers for those with severe conditions, we can only last for a month at most."
He paused and added, "When Zhao Cheng was in power, he never restocked the medical department's medicine supply. The ones in the warehouse are all leftovers. Now they are used up a little bit."
"One month." Ye Heng repeated the number, his voice as cold as ice. After hanging up the communicator, he looked at Lin Yao with a serious look in his eyes.
"That's our deadline."
Lin Yao's heart sank, and he instantly understood what this meant.
Within a month, they must find a solution, either find a new guide or get enough medicine.
If this is not done, the Red Shadow's sentinel troops will be paralyzed.
By then, the base would be in chaos on its own without the Empire or the Third Prince having to take action, which would be equivalent to being strangled by the Empire.
"The Lin Family Experimental Base on Heiyuan Star might have a way." Lin Yao quickly found an idea and pointed out the coordinates of "Lin Family Laboratory" on the light screen with his fingertips.
"Lin Ruheng said that the laboratory has research data on 'mental power enhancement', and perhaps also has a formula for synthesizing a drug for this purpose." He looked up at Ye Heng with a firm tone.
"So this time when we go to Black Abyss Star, we not only need to obtain evidence, but also look for suitable medicines or formulas. Then we can overcome this hurdle."
Faced with Lin Yao's expectations, Ye Heng hesitated to speak. After thinking it over again and again, he told Lin Yao not to have too high expectations for the experimental base.
After all, eighty to ninety percent of the drugs in the Lin family's experimental base are contrary to the coordinating drugs. Otherwise, what kind of coordinating drugs would the Lin family factory produce?
Lin Yao felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His expression turned grim.
But I have to admit that Ye Heng is right. They are all developing shameful drugs, so how can there be normal drugs?
Ye Heng also noticed his emotions. "But maybe there is? I'm just saying there's probably an 80 to 90 percent chance of getting anything. There's also a possibility of getting some, right?"
Lin Yao raised the corner of his mouth and nodded imperceptibly. He knew Ye Heng was trying to comfort him:
"At worst, we can rob the Lin family's factory. They'll definitely have those drugs there!"
Ye Heng smiled and nodded, saying that it was absolutely fine, he could do whatever he wanted, and he would always be with him.
Then Ye Heng mentioned that a guide was still needed. He had already contacted Yan Rufeng.
Ever since Ye Heng was trapped in the Ye family by Ye Bingzong, their contact has been intermittent. It was only in the past two days that they really got in touch.
Yan Rufeng still wanted to return to Chiying, so Ye Heng wanted to ask him if he could bring back a few guides from the Central Star.
Finally, Ye Heng asked Director Zhang to reduce the dosage of the medicine and give priority to protecting the sentries at the battle posts.
If there is really no other way, just choose a few honest guides from the ones Zhao Cheng brought to deal with it, and maybe you can hold on for a few more days.
After hearing Ye Heng's arrangement, Lin Yao nodded, and the anxiety in his heart eased a little.
"Let's prepare for the big dredging first!" Lin Yao's eyes were a little anxious, and it would be fine if he could stabilize it first.
"Okay, I'll tell Ye Mang and the others to organize it."
