Chapter 852 - What you see might not be the truth (1/2)

Ever since Ren Xiaosu’s return, the forward operating base was bustling with people and activity. More and more of the Pyro Company’s main forces from multiple other locations arrived and assembled before rushing off towards the northern front line.

But amid this bustle, the activity in the medical center started to wane.

There were no wounded soldiers being sent over, and no one crying for help from the doctors at the entrance. There were no longer cries or wails in the medical center. The patients who had previously been treated had even started playing Fight the Landlord in the hospital. This made the doctors feel a little off.

They looked at the patients who were playing Fight the Landlord and thought that if it weren’t for the fact they had to maintain their physician image, they would even have joined them.

“Didn’t they say all the barbarians on Mt. Dashi have been killed? Why didn’t our soldiers suffer any injuries then?” The director of the medical center was a little doubtful. However, he couldn’t possibly check on this matter with those at the front line, could he? What was he going to ask? Question them why no one got injured in the battle? Wouldn’t that be sheer nonsense?

However, everyone knew this was just a temporary break. There would be even busier days waiting for them later. Most importantly, they should take advantage of this period to quickly adjust their mental and physical health.

Facing this situation, Ren Xiaosu undoubtedly found it the most unbearable. Having experienced that rapid accumulation of gratitude tokens, he suddenly did not know where he could earn more.

As such, Ren Xiaosu started making rounds to the various departments. When he saw some of the patients who were not treated with the black medicine yet to fully recover from their injuries, he ran over and asked, “It doesn’t seem like your wounds were handled properly. Why don’t we remove your bandages and treat them again?”

The patient’s expression immediately changed. “Thank you, but there’s really no need…”

“Gratitude received from Liu Chengyang, +1!”

The patient could clearly see a glimmer in the young doctor’s eyes!

Honestly speaking, Ren Xiaosu really did not expect to receive a gratitude token like this. He turned around and looked at the other patients. As a matter of fact, a lot of them had not fully recovered yet!

Ren Xiaosu continued dropping by at every department to search for even more patients. Suddenly, the entire medical center was in chaos until a doctor went up to him angrily and said, “I know you have excellent medical skills and the patients treated by your Trinity Institute recover very quickly. But are you trying to humiliate our other medical staff by telling all the patients that their wounds were not handled properly?”

Nearby, the other doctors were glaring at him as well. Ren Xiaosu had caused an outrage this time.

“Ahem, no, no. That’s not really what I was trying to do.” Ren Xiaosu was a little embarrassed as he explained himself quickly. As such, he had to drop the idea of collecting gratitude tokens for the time being.

After returning to their department, Wang Jing said analytically to Ren Xiaosu, “Don’t worry, the war situation in the North has gotten extremely intense now. When all the main forces have assembled in the North, they’ll definitely have to shift the medical center there to cope with the even more intense battles later on. There’s no need to worry about having nothing to do.”

The medical center they were at was a 100 kilometers from the front line. If the wounded were to be brought back from there to receive their treatment, it would probably be too late for them.

A commotion suddenly broke out in the forward operating base. Everyone in the medical center was wondering what had happened. Although it was usually quite lively around here, there was never a commotion as big as this. After all, the Pyro Company soldiers tended to keep to themselves more often than not. Even when they talked, they would not speak too loudly, so where was all the noisy chatter coming from?

When Ren Xiaosu and the others made their way out of the medical center to have a look, they were surprised to see a long convoy of vehicles outside the forward operating base. The Pyro Company troops were checking the vehicles one by one before letting them through.

The logo of the Qinghe Group was on those vehicles!

“Oh, I remember now. Wasn’t it reported that the Qinghe Group was looking to provide material assistance to the Pyro Company? They came to provide the supplies while the Luoyang City garrison troops will head north to participate in the war.” Liang Ce said excitedly, “I’ve always heard that Qinghe University is very liberal-minded. It’s just that I’ve never had a chance to witness it.”

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other. They had been enrolled in Qinghe University. Back then, after the Battle of Luoyang City, the two of them became very well-known. The Qinghe Group even had their statues erected on Wangchunmen Boulevard.
