Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 376 Protracted War

Ning Xuan went to the main battlefield of the star field where the war broke out. Before leaving, Yue Qingtian finally found an opportunity to put Mo Yan into Ning Xuan's treatment team as a doctor's assistant.

Ning Xuan wanted to go to the main battlefield of the star field to provide support, but she still needed Yue Qingtian's signed transfer order. Therefore, Ning Xuan did not refuse this medical team.

Defense and attack systems have begun to be built around the main battlefield in the star field, clearly indicating preparations for a protracted war.

Through the observation window of the transport ship, Ning Xuan saw a huge halo. Within the halo, countless engineering mechs shuttled through space like worker ants, and countless transport ships were transporting supplies and personnel.

The massive metal frame is already taking shape. With the Federation's technological capabilities, building a steel fortress in space would only take a few days.

Ning Xuan had seen the construction blueprints for the forward base at the mobilization meeting for key support forces held a few days ago. The command post had planned a three-layer defense system. The outermost layer consisted of densely packed honeycomb-shaped energy shield launchers, the middle layer was equipped with an array of automatic turrets, and the inner layer was a safe activity area, including a rest area, a medical treatment area, a catering area, and so on. The inner layer also contained a core area, which was the command center whose framework had just been completed.

The outermost halo is emitted by the energy shield. The honeycomb energy shield emitter only needs to be deployed at fixed points. The shield will block various energy attacks and protect the middle and inner layers so that the defensive fortifications can be constructed smoothly.

In order to build a sufficiently large defensive fortification, the Federal Military has deployed all available Hive Energy Shield Launchers.

The transport ship carrying Ning Xuan had slowed down and was preparing to stop. At this moment, there was a slight vibration, and the docking hatch slowly opened.

Lin Mo stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Ning Xuan. The hatch opened, and a mixture of smells of various metals and machine oil rushed out. Even though Ning Xuan was wearing a mask that could filter toxic gases, she could still smell the strong odor.

Ning Xuan took a slow breath, stepped out of the cabin, and entered the docking cabin. From the docking cabin, one could directly access the medical treatment center inside the base.

The so-called medical treatment center inside is actually just a framework structure, which is currently under construction. Although it is just a framework structure, it has already been filled with beds, with a screen separating every dozen or so beds for isolation purposes.

Although the medical treatment center was very basic, it had already housed many wounded people, and the staff were busy going back and forth in front of the beds.

After sending Ning Xuan to the medical treatment center, Lin Mo had to return to the front-line troops. As the highest-ranking officer of the support troops dispatched by the Second Army Corps, he had to return to his unit to command the battle.

After Lin Mo left, Mo Yan took the opportunity to step forward. "Miss Ning, I just inquired and found out that 425 wounded people have been received here in the past 72 hours. Of them, 189 are seriously injured and 73 have died. Due to limited resources, all the wounded are currently housed in the lobby. To differentiate the severity of their injuries, the area is simply divided into three zones: black, red, and yellow. The black zone represents critically injured patients whose lives are in danger at any time; the red zone represents patients whose injuries are serious and whose condition is at risk of deterioration at any time; and the yellow zone represents patients whose condition is relatively stable."

When Mo Yan was reporting to Ning Xuan, Yan Fuzhen looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. In an unfamiliar place, Yan Fuzhen's most important task was to protect Ning Xuan's safety. He had been looking around and knew that Mo Yan was right.

Sure enough, just as Mo Yan finished her report, the staff member in charge of reception came up to her. When introducing the current patient reception situation, they gave exactly the same information as Mo Yan. "Miss Ning, welcome. I am a receptionist from the medical treatment center. The medical treatment center has just been established, and the Federal Senate has mobilized 30 SS-level and 150 S-level controllers with treatment capabilities to provide support. You are among the first batch to arrive. I have already arranged a rest room for you. Please follow me." The receptionist was very polite to Ning Xuan.

The highest leader of the medical treatment center will be selected from 30 SS-level controllers. Among all the SS-level controllers, Ning Xuan is the youngest and least experienced, so her chances of being selected are very small.

Before Ning Xuan could even reach the rest room, as she passed through the treatment hall, she heard the roar of a wild beast. She was very familiar with this sound; it was the noise made by someone undergoing mutation.

Ning Xuan stopped in her tracks. The wails echoing throughout the treatment hall were like invisible hooks, piercing into her mind. She took a deep breath and decided to go and see what was happening right now.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood mixed with disinfectant.

In the red area of ​​the hall, three healers were holding down a warrior who was convulsing. Scale-like patterns had appeared on the man's bare back, and the roars coming from his throat were no longer human.

The metal treatment bed groaned under his struggles, two of the restraint straps having snapped.

“Hold his head down! Don’t let him bite,” a therapist told a colleague.

Ning Xuan glanced at the soldier, then precisely gripped his mutated wrists with both hands. The skin on his hands had become scalding hot, and dense scales had grown on his wrists, seemingly growing from his flesh. The surrounding skin was covered in blood.

Ning Xuan had Mo Yu, who was following behind her, pry open the soldier's mouth and pour a bottle of mutation value removal potion into it.

After the soldier drank the potion, Ning Xuan quickly inserted several acupuncture points on his head. The previously agitated soldier instantly calmed down. The healer looked at this miraculous scene and could hardly believe it.

"He actually fell asleep. We just gave him more than a dozen sedatives, but they had no effect at all. Miss, you are really amazing. You gave him a few acupuncture needles and he fell asleep." A therapist looked at Ning Xuan with admiration.

"This patient had been struggling for so long, she was already tired and sleepy. It was just a lucky break for her," a man nearby said indignantly.

Everyone around her was busy, and Ning Xuan didn't want to argue. After confirming that the patient was out of danger, she prepared to leave. Just then, she heard a sharp sound of glass shattering from her right rear.

Ning Xuan turned her head and glimpsed a wounded soldier who had knocked over a medicine cart while struggling. The pale blue sedatives shattered on the ground, reflecting a pale blue light under the lamp.

"What are you doing? Hold him down! Sedatives are in short supply right now. Wasting so much like this, how are you going to explain this to your superiors?" A doctor angrily reprimanded his assistant who was standing by.
