463: Chapter 420: Confrontation (Second Update) 463: Chapter 420: Confrontation (Second Update) Xiao Wen hesitated for a moment before instructing, “There’s one more thing, when you’re handing people over to the medical department of the GT department.
If you get the chance, give them an extra reminder to treat them well.”
Su Mo was slightly startled, then nodded in response.
“Then don’t delay, you should set out now.
Every minute wasted, their condition will worsen a bit more.”
Chen Shan replied gravely.
Inside the Reserve Point Base, General Mihan looked at the latest intelligence coming from Black Brilliance with a somewhat ugly expression on his face.
His adjutant asked carefully,
“General Mihan, has there been a problem?”
“Lord Spade has sent the latest intelligence, supplies might be scattered and hidden in several dozen concealed points nearby.”
“Then don’t we have to divide our forces to explore?
I’ve just received feedback from the defensive points on the perimeter.
Last night, many defense points were attacked by all sorts of monsters, and the casualties were very severe.”
“That’s right, the risk is extremely high.
But if we don’t do this, we might return empty-handed!”
Mihan’s mood gradually calmed down.
“So, what should we do now?”
The adjutant was a bit at a loss as well, hating this kind of no-win situation the most.
“Divide our forces and explore!
We’re here for the supplies, if we can’t get them, how can we face going back?”
Mihan made a decisive call, despite his ease of words; in truth, he had no better solution.
“Understood, I will arrange it right away.”
The adjutant hesitated and then responded….
At this moment, Su Mo was piloting a mecha, escorting the transport vehicles, and after four or five hours, they arrived at the conquered Reserve Point Base.
The place was heavily guarded, with Iron Guard mechas standing watch on the periphery.
As they approached, they were stopped by a patrolling squad, led by a female captain, who asked,
“Which squad are you from?”
Chen Shan replied, “We’re from Squad Eleven, I am Major Chen Shan!
We were attacked by monsters last night, these are the injured personnel, and we have specifically transported them over according to regulations.”
Hearing Chen Shan’s words, the female captain said gravely, “Wait here, I’ll notify the medical personnel accompanying the GT department.”
Before long, GT department medical personnel wearing protective suits with distinctive badges on their chests, accompanied by fully armed combatants, hurried over.
Upon their arrival, they spoke, “Take all the injured personnel away.”
Su Mo, noticing the accompanying combatants, frowned slightly and asked, “Can we follow and have a look inside?”
You can head back now.”
The leading medical supervisor replied coldly.
“Then when can we come to pick them up?”
Su Mo continued to ask.
“I have no obligation to answer you, wait for notification.”
The leading medical supervisor replied impatiently, then gestured with a hand wave for the injured to be taken away.
When the medical personnel saw the patrol members tied up, they asked, “What’s the situation with these few, why are they all tied up ?”
“They’ve been bitten, and some have lost their sanity.”
The medical supervisor present directly said in a cold voice, “Take them away separately.”
As he spoke, several combatants stepped forward and roughly pulled them up, their attitude extremely poor.
Su Mo and Chen Shan frowned deeply as they exchanged glances.
With this kind of attitude, could they trust these people with their own?
Therefore, Chen Shan asked, “Captain, may I know how to address you?”
“Fendi, what’s the problem?”
Fendi replied coldly.
Fendi, we’re entrusting you with ninety-eight people, and we hope you’ll return them to us in full.
Otherwise, you’d better come up with a good explanation,” Chen Shan said.
Chen Shan had already lost so many brothers, and his mood was very unpleasant.
Seeing this medical worker in protective gear, whose face he couldn’t see, and with such a nasty attitude, he became even angrier. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
If it weren’t for the fact that their injured brothers still needed these people for treatment, he wouldn’t bother speaking politely.
The defense team members of the base, seeing this scene, showed no intention of speaking up for the GT department’s medical personnel.
In fact, ever since the mission began, the relationship between the GT department’s accompanying medical team and everyone else had rapidly deteriorated.
If it weren’t for the higher-ups keeping a lid on it, conflicts would have probably erupted by now.
Fendi didn’t even bother to pretend to care, waving her hand as she led her people into the base.
Chen Shan was also furious.
Su Mo calmly asked the base’s guards, “Hello, may I ask, of the other injured personnel who were sent in, how many have been cured?”
The guard fell into a rare silence upon hearing Su Mo’s question, and eventually spoke.
“As of now, no one has come out yet.
We’ll probably have to wait a bit longer to see.”
“Alright, I understand, thank you.”
Su Mo didn’t say much more.
At that moment, the voice of Xiao Wen sounded from Su Mo’s communicator.
“Su Mo and Chen Shan, after completing the escort task, immediately head to the coordinates 267, 62 to join us.
We’ve received a new mission and are preparing to explore a hidden base.”
Su Mo glanced at Reserve Point Base and answered, now they could only carry out their mission first and deal with the rest later.
Elsewhere, the slightly injured personnel were being taken into the base feeling uneasy.
They were confined to very cramped individual rooms, which were retrofitted from the base’s original rooms—the space was so narrow that it barely fit one person lying down, along with a simple toilet.
And on the metallic steel walls of the room, there were still some bloody scratch marks left behind.
Fendi turned to her subordinate and said, “Check their bodies’ state with the devices.
Those with a Change Value exceeding 60, give them a good meal, inject them with an overdose of SCS drugs (strong sedative), and send them to the incinerator.
Those under the limit, inject them with Type I ISQ antiviral drugs and keep them under separate observation.”
Her subordinate hesitated, stopping mid-sentence.
“But what, supervisor?
Why don’t we tell them the truth?
We haven’t done anything wrong.
Now many people have grievances against us,” the subordinate said.
Do you want to distract them and drive them to despair?
Compared to those at the front fighting for their lives, the worst we’ll face is some criticism,” Fendi replied.
Fendi turned and left, her eyes moistening beyond her control.
What could be more despair-inducing than having to end the lives of her own companions?
Aboard Black Brilliance, Spade watched the latest progress footage being transmitted back.
The First Legion’s troops had already advanced to the core area of the Royal Capital, and the progress was very encouraging.
Furthermore, based on intelligence provided by Delair, they had discovered a service nucleus within a ruined military building and had managed to hack into it to extract some new technology.
They also secured seven large warehouses filled with weapons and supplies.
