Chapter 838 - The backbone of the medical center (1/2)

P5092 watched as Ren Xiaosu walked away. He asked his deputy commander, “Have the troops fully assembled?”
“Yes.” The deputy commander said, “But Commander P5091 did not stop here and headed straight to the battlefield. He said there was an ambush at the front line, so he needed to rush there to provide support.”
“Since 091 has gone there, we can take a breather.” P5092 said, “Let everyone take a hot shower and have a good meal before we set off tonight.”
“Got it.” The deputy commander wondered, “It seems you’re quite interested in that young man? You said earlier that he might be a supernatural being, so have you confirmed it yet?”
“He’s only a supernatural being who saves the dying and treats the wounded.” P5092 said with a smile, “Don’t tell anyone about this. We’re lucky to have someone like him in the rear. By the way, go look for those three soldiers who drove the doctors from the Trinity Institute and have them come here. I want to ask them some questions.”
“OK.” The deputy commander left. 20 minutes later, he led three soldiers back.
The three soldiers were trembling in fear. They wondered if their superior had found out they had accepted bribes and was looking to use them as a warning to the others.
However, P5092 was stunned when he saw the watches on their hands. He muttered under his breath, “Just how many watches does that kid have? Alright, you three can go back now.”
The watches the three soldiers were wearing were exactly the same as the one on his wrist!
P5092 had thought Ren Xiaosu had given him his own watch. But he did not expect that Ren Xiaosu had actually distributed them in batches!
After that, P5092 walked towards the forward operating base. As he walked, he started laughing uproariously, making his deputy commander and the three soldiers look puzzled.
…
Everyone was extremely busy in the medical center. It was so busy that ever since Ren Xiaosu arrived, he never came out once. Ren Xiaosu did not have time to check out what this forward operating base looked like, nor did he find out where the cafeteria was. All of their meals were delivered here by the nurses while the doctors who finished their surgery would squat in the hallways and have a quick bite before rushing back into their operating rooms.
It wasn’t until this moment that Ren Xiaosu understood why the Pyro Company had to enlist the Trinity Institute. In fact, he later heard that the escapees who had come to the North with them were only the first batch to be brought here. Subsequently, all the doctors in the Kong Consortium would be deployed here as well.
There was a real lack of doctors.
Occasionally, the doctors who were squatting in the hallways and eating would even chat with one another. However, they only talked about their patients’ conditions. A doctor said as he gobbled up his food, “That wounded soldier from earlier had to be amputated because he was sent here too late.”
“What a pity.” Another doctor threw his finished lunch box into the trash can and said, “We’re running out of medicine in my department. How’s the situation on your side?”
“We’re starting to run short of medicine as well,” the doctor lamented. “But have you heard? It seems that a team from the Trinity Institute is here, and they’ve newly established the Fourth Emergency Department. I heard they’re very competent.”
“This is the first time I stepped out of the OR since this morning, so I don’t know much. I have to get back now. I still have more than 10 patients waiting to be treated.” This doctor left in a hurry.
The five minutes they had to eat was a rare break for them throughout the day.
Just as Wang Jing had lamented, when war broke out, the rate of saving people would never keep up with the speed of them getting wounded or killed.
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu was standing in front of a standalone, makeshift operating table. Wang Jing, who was standing across from him, was skillfully stitching up the patient’s wounds.
