Chapter 840 - Salute (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu’s principle was that if he could not solve a problem when it arose, he would take care of it by getting rid of the person who caused it.

A very pointless thought experiment had once been proposed. Suppose there was a child on one side of a forked trolley track and five children on the other side. The question posed was that if you had a track switcher in your hands, which side would you choose to let the trolley go down?

If Ren Xiaosu were asked this question, he would simply beat the shit out of whoever asked it.

However, Ren Xiaosu was not in a hurry to join the battle. After all, he and Yang Xiaojin had worked over the operating table for over 20 hours. Moreover, they would definitely face a tough battle after they went to the battlefield, so what Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin needed most right now was some rest.

Before they arrived here, the forward operating base had prepared their accommodations for them. They were supposed to live in shared dorms. But after the incident of them treating the wounded soldiers had alarmed the entire forward operating base and caused a sensation, their assigned dormitories were switched to single-person rooms.

Honestly, Ren Xiaosu would like to tell the P3 commander in charge of the forward operating base that in this situation where resources were lacking, he didn’t mind sharing a room with Yang Xiaojin.

But in the end, he did not manage to say it as he was unable to locate the major.

After an entire day of surgery, a total of 190 patients had been treated. This figure might not sound like a lot, but it would be considered exceptionally impressive for other doctors if they could even treat 10 seriously injured patients in a day. After all, surgeries were extremely complicated procedures, and other doctors would still need to disinfect their surgical equipment and ensure they had a sterile environment to work in.

Wang Jing told him that the number of wounded soldiers could not really be counted as a lot at the moment. Once the war ramped up to total war, they would probably have to set up many makeshift tents outside the medical center. At that time, no one would care if the conditions were sterile. It would all depend on the patients’ own will if they survived or not.

It was not that the doctors’ medical skills were not good enough, but that the conditions just did not allow it.

However, an entire day of surgery had not only brought Ren Xiaosu all those gratitude tokens and unlocked an achievement for him, he had also earned the respect of the Pyro Company soldiers and officers here in the forward operating base.

Everyone had already heard that the Trinity Institute group who had just arrived at the medical center was extremely capable. As long as the wounded were sent to them for treatment, they would definitely survive!

Not only would they survive, but they would also be able to actively move around after a few hours.

The only thing that was puzzling was why most of the patients got an erection after they were operated on…

In normal circumstances, the nurses were not separated by gender while they were on duty. But faced with such events, even the most experienced nurses would find it a little embarrassing.

When Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin woke up in the evening and went to the chow hall at the forward operating base, a soldier suddenly stood up and saluted them.

Off to the side, someone asked, “What’s going on? Who are they?”

Everyone who knew about Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin’s deeds had mostly only heard about it. They’d never met them in person before.

The soldier explained to the others who were eating, “When I carried our platoon commander back today, he was the one who saved our captain. He’s that young doctor from the Trinity Institute.”

When he said that, the thousands of soldiers eating in the chow hall slowly rose out of their seats and saluted in the direction of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.

This sight was so shocking that Ren Xiaosu was unable to react for some time.

The Pyro Company soldiers all stood to attention with their arms firmly locked in salute. Some of them had just returned from the front lines in defeat, while others were lightly wounded and wrapped in bandages.

But none of this stopped them from expressing their respect.

To a soldier, it was too important that doctors possessed good medical ethics and expertise. Although their commanders were unable to prioritize their lives due to tactical and strategic considerations, doctors would.
