Ever since Milo’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, favonovel.com couldn’t possibly check on this matter with those at the front line.
What was favonovel.com 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, Milo undoubtedly found it the most unbearable. Having experienced that rapid accumulation of gratitude tokens, favonovel.com suddenly did not know where favonovel.com could earn more.
As such, Milo started making rounds to the various departments.
When favonovel.com saw some of the patients who were not treated with the black medicine yet to fully recover from their injuries, favonovel.com 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 Gionata Tedeshci, +1!
The patient could clearly see a glimmer in the young doctor’s eyes!
Honestly speaking, Milo 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!
Milo 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com as well. Milo had caused an outrage this time.
“Ahem, no, no… That’s not really what I was trying to do.” Milo was a little embarrassed as favonovel.com explained himself quickly. As such, favonovel.com had to drop the idea of collecting gratitude tokens for the time being.
After returning to their department, Nicholai said analytically to Milo, “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 Milo 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 Vasophati Group was on those vehicles!
“Oh, I remember now. Wasn’t it reported that the Vasophati Group was looking to provide material assistance to the Pyro Company? They came to provide the supplies while the Bidara City garrison troops will head north to participate in the war.” Pierre said excitedly, “I’ve always heard that Vasophati University is very liberal-minded. It’s just that I’ve never had a chance to witness it.”
Milo and Miriam looked at each other. They had been enrolled in Vasophati University. Back then, after the Battle of Bidara City, the two of them became very well-known. The Vasophati Group even had their statues erected on Palladium Boulevard.
Now that the Vasophati University students were here, they had better not get recognized by them!
But what surprised Milo even more was that after the Vasophati University students got out of their vehicles, they carried the medical supplies straight into the medical center.
Miriam said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, they’re all fourth-year students. I don’t think they’ll recognize us.”
When they were at Vasophati University, Milo and Miriam were in their freshman year. Miriam had always kept a low profile and did not interact with the others while Milo was in his armor when favonovel.com rescued the Vasophati University students. So, even if the students knew about them, they might not know what they looked like.
When Miriam said that, Milo felt relieved.
Those several hundred students came to the entrance of the medical center in high spirits. But when they saw Milo and Miriam, they were somewhat hesitant. That was because the two of them did not have their white coats on and looked a little too young to be doctors. But that had nothing to do with them. What was most important was that they delivered the medical supplies to the doctors.
Milo and Miriam went right back to their department’s office to have some tea and read the paper. Due to the fact that their department had played the most important role during the emergency treatments, it was located closest to the entrance.
As the students entered the medical center one after another, all of them had very excited looks on their faces.
However, when the students were greeted by the sight in the medical center, they were stunned. They had imagined this place to be a living hell where many wounded were lying in the hallways due to a shortage of beds. There should also have been a lot of people crying in pain. The doctors in this medical center should be very busy as well.
But what they saw was an empty hallway in front of them, and the doctors were sitting inside their offices sipping tea and reading the paper. There were even some strange noises in the hallway.
The students were at a loss as they crowded around in the hallway with the supply boxes.
Someone approached Milo, who was reading a copy of Hope Media’s newspaper, and asked, “Do you work in the medical center?”
Milo nodded. “Yes… Y’all must be here to send the material assistance. Thank you very much, but we have to wait for the medical center’s director to take them.”
But something unexpected happened.
A male student questioned, “Didn’t they say the front line was being hard-pressed by the enemies? Where are the wounded? Why are there so few of them? The doctors here also have nothing to do. Aren’t they deceiving us?! We didn’t come all the way here just to watch you guys sip tea and read the paper.”
Milo frowned. “I know that y’all came here out of kindness, but what you see might not be the truth. Y’all should wait for the director to get here first before making any assumptions.”
