Capítulo 1103: Chapter 816: Black Needle Base (Part 2)

“Doctor!”

…

All around, there were medical personnel running everywhere.

In the resting area, soldiers lay weakly, their lips cracked and bleeding, their faces sallow, and their eyes vacant.

“How much longer until we rotate? To guard the perimeter and clear out the harassing monsters.”

“Two more days, I think.”

“I feel like I can’t hold on any longer.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, hold on until the rotation for guard duty at the perimeter, then we’ll be allocated some food and water.”

…

In the corner, Lin Ming leaned against the dirty metal wall.

At this moment, several subordinates came over, they took out a Nutrition Bar, handed it to Lin Ming and said, “Lord Lin Ming, please eat something, you haven’t eaten in nearly a month.”

“It’s okay, I’ve used a more advanced Genetic Potion, I can manage a bit longer, give the food to the brothers below,” Lin Ming waved his hand and replied.

“Lord Lin Ming, just eat it, the brothers below have all eaten.”

“Yes, Lord Lin Ming, please eat a little. We’ll have to wait several more days for the next distribution of rations.”

…

The present subordinates all pleaded insistently.

“Then give it to the injured brothers, I can still hold on for now. Besides, the situation at the base is relatively stable currently, there aren’t any powerful monster attacks, no need for combat,” Lin Ming shook his head wearily and said.

“Lord Lin Ming, can we really hold on?”

The soldier in front of him couldn’t hold it in any longer and choked up as he asked.

“Don’t lose hope, the Federation Government will definitely not abandon us, supplies will definitely be sent. As long as we hang in there, there will surely be hope,” Lin Ming’s gaze never wavered.

…

In the corridor, Lan Xi, wearing protective clothing, was examining a comatose patient, and she anxiously turned her head and shouted.

“Xini, go get some VC-93 antibacterial agent.”

“Doctor Lan Xi, that medicine has long been used up.”

“Then switch to CQS-02 antibiotics,” Lan Xi shouted anxiously.

But unfortunately, her assistant Xini stood motionless behind her.

“What are you standing there for?”

Lan Xi anxiously shouted, feeling that this patient in front of her was not going to make it.

“Doctor Lan Xi, that medicine is gone too,” Xini replied with her head down.

“What medicine is left in the pharmacy?”

Lan Xi stood there in shock and asked.

“The public pharmacy is empty now, there’s only a bit left in the advanced pharmacy. But those medicines are reserved for the core combatants, they can’t be touched,” Xini held back tears, biting her lip, speaking painfully.

Lan Xi felt her head spinning, almost as if she was about to faint. Her body was thoroughly exhausted, though she could still grit her teeth and endure, but how could she bear the exhaustion of the heart?

At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded on her bracelet.

Lan Xi glanced at it, inwardly thinking it bad, and said to Xini.

“Go to the supplies department and get some water, let this injured person drink a bit, whatever it takes, at least make him feel a little better.”

After saying that, Lan Xi hurriedly ran toward a patient room.

…

Within minutes, Lan Xi rushed into a patient room.

Inside the room was a Life Support Machine, and on the bed next to the machine lay a man.

The man’s left eyeball was removed, his right arm and both legs completely amputated, his body severely mutated, his skin covered with raised red blisters, and various tubes were inserted all over his body.

At this moment, the man’s only remaining left hand clutched a Nutrient Tube.

The whole machine kept sounding alarms!

The adjutant standing beside kept persuading, “General, don’t do this.”

“General Figerl, what are you doing?”

Lan Xi rushed forward frantically, reconnecting the pulled-out tube.

The man lying on the bed was none other than General Figerl, who had once been responsible for assessing Su Mo’s entry into the GT department.

“Let me die, my state is hopeless, no need to, waste resources on me. I also don’t want to become a monster, I would rather die with dignity than mutate,” General Figerl said, suppressing his pain.

“General Figerl, what are you saying, you’ll definitely be alright, don’t you trust me? I will definitely heal you,” Lan Xi said, her eyes red, forcing herself to comfort.

“Really?”

Figerl forced a smile.

“Don’t worry, I can do it,” Lan Xi wiped her tears and said assuredly.

“I’m in terrible pain, can you get me a painkiller?”

“Okay, I’ll go right away,” Lan Xi rushed out.

However, just after Lan Xi left, Figerl spoke with difficulty to the adjutant beside him.

“Tang Lei, I’m begging you, give me a gun!”

“No General, what do you want to do, Doctor Lan Xi has gone to get painkillers.”

“That’s useless, I know my body, I’m already heavily contaminated, there’s no saving it, eventually, I’ll turn into a monster. As a soldier of the Federation, I absolutely cannot become a monster, I don’t want to become a monster, I’m begging you, give me a dignified end…”

Figerl, exerting his strength, grabbed Tang Lei’s hand, suppressing his pain as he said.

“General, just hold on a little longer,” Tang Lei pleaded through gritted teeth.

“Tang Lei, you’ve been with me so long, I’m begging you,” Figerl almost in a pleading tone, rather than ordering, this was the first time in his life he had begged.

“General….”

Tang Lei looked extremely pained, he pulled out a small P23 piercing handgun from his waist, left it on the bed, and then turned to walk out of the room.

Bang~

A gunshot rang out.

The alarm in the ward sounded again.
