Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’

Chapter 1741 - 1392: Surprise

At this moment, Su Mo turned away, gazing into the distance, only to see a wasteland outside Thunder Base filled with dead Monster bodies and debris from destroyed Weapons.

Apart from the emotionally reunited personnel, everywhere were busy figures rescuing the injured.

The true brutality of war was only now unveiled.

Agonizing moans and despairing howls were heard everywhere.

One soldier after another held their dying comrades, nerves frayed, shouting anxiously.

"Doctor!"

"Doctor!"

...

Though there were quite a few Doctors on site, compared to the number of injured, their numbers were on a totally different level.

Furthermore, even the Doctors the reinforcements could provide were few in number, for a simple reason.

Because the reinforcements also suffered heavy losses and numerous injuries during the forceful entry into Ceres.

As Su Mo walked along the way, his mood grew increasingly heavy.

At this moment, Su Mo saw a burly man clad in heavy Mechanical Armor of the fifth generation, desperately clutching a Doctor’s hand, nearly on his knees, speaking anxiously.

"I beg you, save my brother, he can’t die..."

"Officer Akari, it’s not that I won’t save him, but there’s truly no way to. Look at the level of pollution on him, it’s already severe, mutation and degeneration are only a matter of time, I’m powerless."

The elderly Doctor explained helplessly.

"You’re talking nonsense, he’s clearly alive, there must be a way to save him."

"If he had lost limbs, even if only a head remained, he could be saved. But with pollution, even Gods can’t help. To tell you the truth, there are many Doctors in Thunder Base, but virtually none can treat pollution. Take my advice, let him pass with dignity."

The elderly Doctor freed himself from Akari’s grip helplessly.

Akari stood there, somewhat dazed and distraught, painfully watching his struggling brother, his hand trembling as he reached for the gun at his waist.

Su Mo couldn’t help but shake his head, turning away, not continuing to watch, as he already anticipated what was about to happen.

Bang~

Just as he hadn’t walked far, a crisp gunshot rang out behind him.

Su Mo spoke solemnly to the Swallower, "Negative Energy Pollution is even more brutal than imagined."

"You should have been mentally prepared for this long ago; didn’t Tilo and the others teach you a lesson?"

The Swallower replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, but seeing it again still leaves my heart feeling heavy."

Su Mo sighed deeply and replied, then, as if thinking of something, walked toward the interior of Thunder Base.

Mere moments later, Su Mo entered Thunder Base, where the situation inside was even more miserable—injured people had been hastily arranged all over the spacious corridors.

Though Thunder Base’s internal life support system had already been activated to its maximum state, continually purifying and cycling the air,

the smell of blood, antiseptic, and other mixed odors could still be distinctly discerned.

Everywhere were busy figures of Doctors.

Su Mo watched those Doctors as he walked further in.

Before long, Su Mo arrived at the area where the Federation gathered—the situation here was equally bleak.

Everywhere were personnel lying exhausted on the ground, and wounded people groaning in pain.

Numerous logistics medical staff busily ran to and fro.

Su Mo glanced around, his brows furrowed slightly, then he reached out to stop a busy female Doctor.

"Hello."

The female Doctor was quite irritable at being interrupted, but upon seeing it was Su Mo who stopped her, she was taken aback briefly, then replied excitedly.

"Are you Lord Su Mo?"

"Yes, I want to ask, where is Lan Xi? I haven’t seen her."

Su Mo nodded slightly and asked.

This was partly out of concern for Lan Xi’s safety and partly because he wanted to call her back,

after all, she was a Doctor specializing in curing Negative Energy Pollution, and they desperately needed skilled Doctors in that field right now.

If Lan Xi had been present then, perhaps Tilo and the others wouldn’t have had to execute all those comrades.

"You mean Dr. Lan Xi?"

The female Doctor responded instinctively.

"Yes."

Su Mo was slightly stunned to learn Lan Xi had become a Doctor.

But upon thinking, it made sense; back when he participated in the Black Brilliance expedition, Lan Xi began integrating into the Federation Army’s medical system. She then stayed on Ceres as one of the first volunteers, rarely leaving, so it’s not surprising she advanced.

"I haven’t seen Dr. Lan Xi for a long time either. Oh, Dr. Lan Xi isn’t here; she took a medical team to the Observer Base."

The female Doctor thought carefully and answered Su Mo.

"Observer Base? What’s the situation there right now?"

Su Mo’s brow furrowed tightly.

"I’m not too sure about that."

The female Doctor shook her head.

"Officer, you don’t need to worry about that, the Observer Base should be fine."

At this moment, a rather young man wearing a Federation Lieutenant uniform walked up and said.

"How do you know?"

Su Mo looked at the young NCO in front of him and asked.

"Officer, I was stationed at the Observer Base before. I was present when Dr. Lan Xi’s team arrived. Then, when something went wrong at Thunder Base, we came to support. Also, since the Observer Base was besieged so many times before, the Alliance modified it afterward. The lower area has been sealed as a shelter, stocked with a lot of food and supplies."
