Chapter 148 The Situation

Just then, the Black and White Boundary Fortress led the Dark Crow Legion and the Black and White Legion out from the defense zone.

Accompanying them were the elite fleets of the Annihilation Legion, the second trump card of Xinghuan City.

This time, they didn't choose to hide in the rear, using the troops of various countries as cannon fodder. Instead, they interspersed on both sides of all the troops, acting as the backbone.

After all, relying solely on cannon fodder legions could easily lead to their complete annihilation under a barrage of fire.

Inside the command room of the Star Destroyer, Phantom Flower.

Tia watched the deployment of Xinghuan City's forces, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they weren't being treated as cannon fodder again. Even if the situation was difficult, they still had a chance to fight.

Jiang Hanqiu saluted Tia and reported, "Lady Tia, our fleet is ready."

"Tell everyone to fight with all their might. If Xinghuan City loses, we won't be any better off."

Tia said calmly.

Jiang Hanqiu was slightly stunned, and hesitated before asking Tia, "Has it really come to the point where we have to fight to the death?"

"That's right."

"But, with so many enemy fleets, how can we possibly win?"

"We don't need to win. We just need to hold out until the Star Gate is erected. As far as I know, it won't be long. That's also why the Everlasting Sleep Clan is attacking at this time."

Tia replied with a calm expression.

Just as Tia finished speaking, Commander Nanqi's virtual image appeared on the command ships of various countries.

He stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice to everyone.

"You've all seen it. The Everlasting Sleep Clan is attacking aggressively. I can tell you with certainty that if we lose this battle, it will be equivalent to losing our qualification to advance into the Valhalla planet. Don't even think about mining and getting rich peacefully. But if we defend it, congratulations, you will officially gain the recognition of Xinghuan City and receive the grace of Xinghuan City. Of course, we're not completely without a chance of winning. Let me tell you the truth. There are still 43 hours before the Star Gate is erected. When the rear Star Gate opens, the support army of Xinghuan City will arrive, and even if the Everlasting Sleep Clan is a tiger, they will have to lie down. At that time, you will be meritorious officials! And the rewards will be huge!"

Commander Nanqi started drawing cakes again as he spoke.

But, to be honest, his cake-drawing this time was quite successful. Anyway, a war was going to break out sooner or later, so having a cake was better than nothing.

Tia and other commanders responded one after another.

"Yes, Commander Nanqi, we are willing to fight alongside Xinghuan City and share its fate!"

"Good!"

Commander Nanqi revealed a brilliant smile.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Inside Thunderous Base.

Su Mo came to the medical area, where doctors were treating the wounded soldiers.

Everywhere, there were sounds of painful moans.

These injured personnel weren't just those returning from exploring the ruins.

The main force stationed at Thunderous Base wasn't just sitting around doing nothing. They usually had work to do.

They also had to go to the outer areas from time to time to mine resources.

They had to transport large quantities of minerals back, otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to afford to live in Thunderous Base.

You should know that Commander Bayerick wasn't a philanthropist. The reason why he accommodated the Alliance forces here was to absorb their resources.

If the Alliance forces wanted to exchange materials from him, they had to use extremely expensive minerals.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although there was an element of exploitation in being stationed here.

At least they had a stable foothold and wouldn't be destroyed like the Watcher Base and the Black Thorn Base.

Of course, once the Alliance's strength grew, they would still have to move out, because no one could stand being exploited all the time.

Su Mo walked around in the medical area, looking around everywhere.

The low voice of the Mutilator sounded, "What are you doing here?"

"It's not easy to come here once, so I have to see some old friends, right? These opportunities to meet are rare, and we might never see each other again."

Su Mo replied with a slightly heavy heart. Many of the people he knew had died in the Great Interstellar Era, and life was too fragile.

After hearing this, the Mutilator fell silent.

Su Mo carefully looked at the doctors one by one, but unfortunately, none of them were the ones he was looking for.

"Excuse me."

Medical personnel said to Su Mo from time to time.

"Okay."

Su Mo quickly stepped aside.

Because Thunderous Base allocated too small an area to the Alliance, and there were so many people in the Alliance forces, the average area per person was very small.

Therefore, there were no single rooms at all.

Only this open space was converted into a medical area, and even so, it wasn't enough.

Su Mo looked left and right, but couldn't find the person he was looking for. A bad idea arose in his mind: had she also sacrificed herself?

Thinking of this, Su Mo felt a little heavy. He immediately turned around and wanted to ask someone.

As a result, he ran into Lan Xi, who was wearing a white isolation suit, holding a medical toolbox, and looking haggard.

"Su Mo? Why are you here?"

Lan Xi's face was filled with surprise and astonishment.

Su Mo smiled awkwardly and replied, "Well..."

"Are you not feeling well?"

Lan Xi asked with concern.

"Ah, it's like this. I've been having trouble sleeping lately, so I thought I'd come and get some sleeping pills."

Su Mo quickly made up a story.

Lan Xi was slightly stunned, and then said to Su Mo, "Wait for me here for a moment. I'll finish treating that patient over there."

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll just watch from the side. I don't have anything else to do anyway."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Okay."

Lan Xi suppressed the joy in her heart, and then ran towards a critically ill patient not far away with her medical kit.

The sergeant looked pained, his whole body covered in contaminated bloodstains, and his right leg was amputated.

Several companions stood guard beside him.

"Excuse me."

Lan Xi said as she rushed over.

The companions quickly made way and said anxiously to Lan Xi, "Doctor, please save him."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to treat him."

Lan Xi responded simply, then opened her medical kit, took out a portable medical device, and began to carefully conduct a preliminary examination of the patient.

Soon, Lan Xi began to take out medicine and prepare it, then injected it into the sergeant.

After the injection, the sergeant's painful expression eased a lot.

Lan Xi immediately took out a special medicine and cleaned the other party's wound.

......

Su Mo stood quietly and watched. He wanted to help, but unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

He really didn't know much about medicine.

However, Su Mo could see that Lan Xi was becoming more mature and capable. She handled patients in an orderly manner and was very skilled.

It seemed that she had grown unusually fast during her time on Valhalla.

At this time, a female medical assistant passed by, saw Su Mo following Lan Xi, and stopped to look Su Mo up and down.

"You look unfamiliar? I haven't seen you before."

"Cough, I'm new here."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"I can tell you're new. You've taken a liking to Sister Lan Xi, haven't you?"

The girl in front of her looked Su Mo up and down.

"No."

"It's okay, you don't have to be so shy. Even a fool could tell at a glance. But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Sister Lan Xi is dedicated to becoming a top doctor. She's not interested in love. I don't know how many people have been turned away, and even if you are quite handsome, you have no hope."

"Cough, you've misunderstood."

Su Mo became more and more embarrassed.

Just then, Lan Xi, who had finished her work, walked over. She saw Su Mo chatting with the girl and asked with a smile.

"What are you talking about that's so happy?"

"Uh, nothing,"

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

The girl said in surprise, "Sister Lan Xi, you know him?"

"Yes, I do. Xiao Nan, hurry up and go do your work."

Lan Xi said to Xiao Nan with a smile.

"Okay."

Xiao Nan quickly left.

Lan Xi then said to Su Mo, "Come on, come with me to the medical room. I'll give you a full body check-up."

"Ah, is that really necessary? I'm fine."

Su Mo replied with a dazed expression.

Of course, it wasn't that Su Mo was completely fine. His condition was worse than anyone else's, and there was no way to cure him.

"No, how can I ignore it when you're not feeling well? We're such good friends."

Lan Xi said firmly. This was out of her professional duty as a doctor.

"Okay."

Su Mo replied with a wry smile. He had really shot himself in the foot this time.
