"one!"

At the last second, Luo Tianming pressed the [Energy Shield] button hard!

A second before impact, all the ship's power was drained, and a blue shield field unfolded around the Nautilus—it was indeed as the customer service representative had advertised: capable of withstanding the impact of any kinetic weapon.

Including: the Scarlet Queen who was forced to 'crash' into her head.

"..."

The impact force absorbed almost all the reaction force, and the Nautilus, at its maximum speed, slammed into the Scarlet Queen's chest, creating a large crater.

Furthermore, due to the force of the impact being offset by the force of the impact, the Nautilus was almost completely undamaged and came to a stop due to the powerful reaction force.

The Scarlet Queen wasn't so lucky... First, it took a hard hit to the chest, rupturing its heart. Then, its head and neck lashed out like whips, causing secondary damage as it crashed into the shield.

Worse still, the sudden appearance of a 'heart' inside the body prevents it from healing these fatal injuries in time.

"..."

Loss of blood supply, disappearance of heartbeat, pupils dilating to white...

It probably never imagined that it would be killed by a submarine.

Chapter 88 Healing and Saving Lives

When the Nautilus reconnected to the airlock at Red Star Station, they were not greeted with hymns of 'heroic return,' but rather with the stench of blood and smoke.

"..."

Everywhere are people suffering from the disaster and have nowhere to go. The streets that Hongxing Station was once proud of have now become corridors for corpses and the wounded, and blood has become the main color here.

A nauseating stench gradually filled the air, and a person suddenly began vomiting yellow gastric juice... Those around him avoided him, but they were powerless to change anything.

This is perhaps the true reflection of disaster.

"..."

Looking at those injured and disabled people, Luo Tianming felt a pang of unease.

Miaomiao, who is a doctor herself, found it even more unbearable.

The cries for help coming from beside her made her bite her lip in agony...

Suddenly, Luo Tianming's voice came from the side.

"Do you want to help?"

"!"

Wu Jianmiao was startled. She hesitated... not because she doubted Luo Tianming's words, but because she had some doubts about her own medical skills.

That incident completely changed the female doctor; the labels of "plague god" and "quack" cast a shadow over her, one that she could never shake off.

All the hospitals in the industry boycotted her, so she had to open a private hospital in the community. Even so, she was still bothered by people who came to her door every now and then.

The name 【武見妙】 has almost become a rumor used to stop children from crying.

She dared not treat others anymore and closed herself off emotionally.

"..."

Luo Tianming could see her hesitation; at this moment, she needed someone to give her a push.

He suddenly raised his arm and shouted:

“Those who want to see a ‘doctor’ should line up here. Those with minor injuries in the surrounding area can come and help out and receive free treatment!”

"—!"

Wu Jianmiao was startled by the voice. She suddenly stared blankly at Luo Tianming, who was looking at her with a wicked smile.

Miaomiao first glared at him with a pressured look, then gave him a grateful look.

Luo Tianming's words were quite effective. A line of wounded soldiers immediately formed in front of them. Several wounded soldiers recognized him and began to maintain order as Luo Tianming had instructed.

Cleaning, disinfection, and handling bodily waste... these basic tasks always need to be done by someone.

Just as everything was about to proceed smoothly, they suddenly heard Takemi Myo's signature voice.

With her hands in her pockets and a punk-like demeanor of rebellion against the world, she began to speak:

"Let me state upfront that I am a quack doctor. Anyone who does not wish to be treated may leave on their own."

"..."

Even Luo Tianming was surprised when she said that... Was it necessary to belittle herself so much?

He probably didn't even realize it—this was Wu Jianmiao's attitude towards outsiders. To her, Luo Tianming was her 'special' experimental guinea pig, which is why she could so recklessly subject him to both bitter and sweet treatments.

She remained wary of the world towards others.

However, reality was quite different from what Dr. Takemi had imagined.

She had expected that after she said those words, the look of 'taboo,' 'suspicion,' and 'fear' she would receive would not appear.

The line of patients in front of her didn't decrease; in fact, it grew longer...

For Hongxing Station right now, anyone who comes is welcome, as long as a doctor can save them.

As for the so-called 'quack doctor'?

Haha, in a place where painkillers are a staple, how can you expect the doctors here to be very professional?

Even the most incompetent doctor is a hundred times gentler than a military doctor at this moment.

…………

Soon, under Luo Tianming's command, more and more soldiers participated in the work of moving patients and delivering medicines, and more and more patients were discovered.

Following traditional emergency management methods, Luo Tianming used colored wristbands to classify patients into four categories: red (critical), yellow (long-term care not endangering life), green (minor injury), and black (death).

Of course, there are also some 'foresighted' wounded who will be quietly placed on his 'white list'. Most of these people have suffered severe crush injuries, extensive burns, severe blood loss and hypothermia, or are seriously injured and have no hope of rescue.

Luo Tianming would arrange some quieter rooms for them and administer some opioid medication to alleviate their pain...

Even though they had done everything they could to save the patients, the situation at Hongxing Station was still far from optimistic.

At least 130 people have been injured or killed so far, including more than 20 dead, more than 40 seriously injured, and no fewer than 70 slightly injured. The most serious casualties occurred when the Queen's giant offspring attacked the site, killing 7 people on the spot.

If Luo Tianming hadn't arrived in time, the casualties would probably have been even greater.

"..."

Through this battle, he also realized that the combat levels of these stations varied greatly.

At a military site, they might only need to suffer single-digit casualties to drive away the behemoth.

The Jupiter separatist site is estimated to have fewer than 20 casualties...

Large settlements like Red Star Station, which were primarily colonial in nature, were easily wiped out in the event of a crisis due to the lack of effective local measures.

Sometimes, the biggest threat isn't the giant beast, but the chaotic crowd...

Just as he was deep in thought, a new scene interrupted his train of thought.

That was Wu Jianmiao, who appeared before him, and she spoke as usual:

"Okay, no problem... next patient."

"..."

An elderly woman slowly sat down in front of her. Wu Jianmiao didn't recognize her: "Symptoms? Where do you feel unwell?"

The old woman said, "It's a little uncomfortable to breathe, I can't eat, I'm coughing more, and I have a lot of phlegm... cough cough."

Wearing a mask, Miaomiao spoke in a somewhat muffled voice: "Were you hit by something or trampled? Do your ribs feel uncomfortable?"

The old woman: "Hehe, this old lady hid in the safe house the moment the chaos started, and I wasn't hurt at all, cough cough..."

Wu Jianmiao glared at her, her eyes conveying, "Why are you causing trouble if you're not injured?"

Suddenly, she recognized the old woman—she was the merchant who had sold them tobacco leaves earlier.

Levi then joined in, saying, "Hey~ old lady, you're still alive?"

The old woman said nonchalantly, "If I die, where will you get so many cigarettes to smoke?"

Revy nodded: "That's true."

She then left, leaving Wu Jianmiao and the old woman alone.

Miaomiao realized that the old woman didn't seem to have come to her because of an injury, so she reiterated, "Let me make this clear first—I'm a quack doctor, do you really want me to treat you?"

The old woman chuckled: "If you are a 'quack,' then the so-called doctors on Europa are nothing more than cleaner butchers."

"I've been watching from the side for a long time, and you're a good doctor... I only came to bother you, the ship's doctor, after confirming that there were no other patients. Could you please take a look and see what the problem is?"

"..."

Wu Jianmiao listened to the breathing sounds with a stethoscope: "Hmm~ It's a bit serious, chronic bronchitis... He smokes too much, but that's not the main reason."

"Difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids... plus difficulty breathing, and thick phlegm is probably caused by dry mouth and throat."

"The air quality hasn't been good lately. I guess I've been cooped up in my room for too long, and the food inside probably got some kind of botulism bacteria."

The old woman said, "No wonder. The previous doctors just told me to smoke less, but even though I reduced it to one cigarette a day, my symptoms didn't improve."

Wu Jianmiao looked at her sternly: "You are not allowed to smoke a single cigarette. Throw away all the spoiled food in the house. I will also prescribe some antitoxin for you. This is a very serious illness."

The old woman firmly retorted, "I knew those cheap bacon sausages were no good... Alright, I'll take my medicine properly."

"Doctor, this is your 'consultation fee'."

As she spoke, she handed a small notebook to Takemi Mio.

"?"

When Takemi opened it, she found it filled with densely packed instructions on tobacco cultivation, interspersed with various illustrations she had drawn and descriptions of pests and diseases.

This was practically her ability to assess her family's wealth, and Wu Jianmiao immediately realized how precious this item was.

"Wait!" she said, looking flustered. "I can't accept such valuable things. Today's medical care is free; those medicines aren't worth it at all."

The old woman's expression was very natural: "Isn't your 'free medical care' only for people who are injured today? I'm not one of them—besides, it's up to me to judge whether it's worth it or not, and I think you are a doctor I can trust."

"Since I've entrusted it to you, you can use it however you like... But remember to tell the girl with the gun to smoke less, otherwise it'll be troublesome if she ends up like me when she's old~"

"..."

Hearing this thank-you from the patient, which she hadn't heard in a long time, Wu Jianmiao's brows relaxed considerably.

Seeing that her medical skills were recognized, Luo Tianming felt quite pleased.

Since we don't need him here anymore, let's go back to the submarine and take a look at the rewards.

Chapter 89 Management Master

[New Mission: Revenge (Completed)]

[Mission Rewards: 10 Common Recruitment Tickets, Trait [Beast Slayer] unlocked...]

Congratulations! You have activated the new system 'Management Master'.

"..."

Besides the initial 10 recruitment tickets, the previously (unexplained) trait also surprised him.

[Beast Slayer]...What is this thing used for?

Next, he opened the third related system: Management Master.

This system was clearly different from the others; its interface was quite complex… He turned a page, and all his information appeared on it.

From physical health status to detailed analysis of every part of the body, including internal oxygen levels, water content, heart rate, and blood pressure... it's practically a medical diagnostic instrument that monitors your condition at all times.

And that's not all. In addition to this basic information, you can also see various physical stats and the traits you possess.

The traits he just acquired have already been loaded here.

Giant Beast Slayer

Nature: Unique

Effect: You deal an additional 15% damage to all creatures larger than you or the ship you are piloting.

(This curse... was bestowed upon you the moment you opened the 'Book of Dwarf Hatred'.)
