The city of Chehe, shrouded in darkness, was desolate. The searchlights cast upon the ruins, reflecting halos that resembled its tears. This once prosperous city was now destroyed…
Su Muqing felt an unspeakable sadness. She had been helping the people of this small world since her arrival, never ceasing. Though it was part of her mission, she genuinely did not wish for the common folk to suffer such hardships.
She wanted to help Huo Qiyuan's parents and seek justice for the more than a hundred people who died in the Prince of Parallel’s Mansion. She also hoped to save the common people of the Great Yu Dynasty, a nation gradually declining.
However, she never imagined the cost would be so great. Collapsed houses could be rebuilt, but the people buried beneath the ruins, their eyes closed forever, could never open them again…
War was cruel, she knew, yet she had many ways. She could have sought justice without initiating war, and she could have quietly provided aid without annexing these cities.
Of all the paths available, she chose the most wrong one!
Su Muqing took a series of deep breaths, managing to suppress the inexpressible pain deep within her heart. She soon arrived at the first critical care tent.
The area outside the tent was crowded with injured people. She lifted the flap and stepped inside, only to find the conditions even worse, with people missing limbs lying on the ground.
The military doctors and their assistants were sweating profusely, and the patients’ pained cries were incessant. Su Muqing tightened her grip on the tent flap and then pulled Huo Qiyuan into a room that had been half-collapsed.
Su Muqing swiftly entered her space, while Huo Qiyuan kept watch outside. After purchasing the most advanced surgical robot last time, her quantum coins in the Future Mall were dwindling. In Chehe City’s situation, without ten or eight of them, more people would die.
She quickly contacted Ding Mo from the disaster apocalypse and made a transaction worth trillions. Seeing such a large amount requested, Ding Mo was somewhat stunned, as he couldn't produce that many quantum coins on hand.
Observing Su Muqing's urgent expression, he immediately hung up and contacted other survivor bases. Within five minutes, he had gathered 11 trillion quantum coins for her.
These quantum coins would be used not only to purchase surgical robots but also to buy prosthetics.
Su Muqing received the currency and then apologetically explained her predicament to Ding Mo. The goods worth 11 trillion quantum coins would likely fill the sea if piled up, and she genuinely couldn't organize them all at once.
She increasingly felt that the price this time was too great. If she hadn't had some savings, this single transaction would have been enough to bankrupt her!
"Brother Ding, I have a special situation here and may not have time to prepare the goods for you now. Once I'm done, I'll trade the items to you at the first opportunity."
"Go ahead and attend to your business! We've been cooperating for so long, do you think I wouldn't trust you?"
Fortunately, Ding Mo trusted her implicitly. After all, their world was on the brink of collapse initially. If it weren't for the food Su Muqing traded, they would have gone extinct long ago.
Therefore, he readily agreed and said he would help explain to the other base leaders, allowing Su Muqing to focus on her tasks.
After a brief farewell, Su Muqing dived into the Future Mall. The page displayed options for both ordinary and mid-grade robots, but after some thought, she decided to purchase the high-end surgical robot she had bought before.
Although this model was significantly more expensive, it was the top-tier configuration. It was not only very easy to operate and had strong battery life, but also covered a wider range of applications – a single unit could cure all ailments!
She planned to buy ten units at once, but when she went to pay, she found the stock was insufficient. It turned out that the top-tier items in the space mall were limited. She had already bought one, and now she could only buy nine more.
Su Muqing reduced the quantity to nine and successfully completed the transaction, which cost 4 trillion quantum coins. After her purchase, she noticed that the icon for the medical robot had changed from its original blue-white to gray, and the system indicated that this item could no longer be purchased in this small world.
It didn't matter that she couldn't buy more. Ten units were enough. Fortunately, the replacement energy batteries were not limited in purchase. Su Muqing stocked up on the energy batteries, paid for them, and quickly exited her space.
Huo Qiyuan had only waited a few minutes before Su Muqing emerged from her space. Along with her came a full nine surgical robots, all lined up with their heads bowed, presenting a somewhat eerie sight.
"Brother Huo, please ask Leng Ren and the others to deliver these robots to each medical tent! Oh, and make sure someone guards them. These are all the medical robots we have, and we can't buy any more. Don't damage them!" Su Muqing asked Huo Qiyuan to call for people while she turned on all the robots and checked their power levels.
Huo Qiyuan turned and called for Leng Ren and the others. With Leng Feng and Leng Kui gone, only eight remained in the Leng character team, and with him and Su Muqing, there were exactly ten people.
Su Muqing briefly explained how to use them and emphasized that they must be taken care of properly, as they couldn't be restocked. Leng Ren seriously guaranteed that as long as the robots were there, they would be too!
Seeing their determined expressions, Su Muqing almost wanted to laugh if the situation were not so dire. After the brief training, Leng Ren and the others each carried a robot and carefully headed to the medical points in the city.
Su Muqing and Huo Qiyuan were at the two front locations. This stretch was the main street of Chehe City. When the shelling occurred, many people, terrified, ran out of their homes, thinking they would be safe on the street.
Little did they know that after coming out, they discovered that hiding on the street was useless, and they had become complete targets. Consequently, the most casualties occurred in these two areas.
When the medical robots began performing surgery, the old military doctor in the tent’s eyes widened like copper bells.
Although he didn't need to assist, after his constant pleading and assurance that he would absolutely not make a sound to disturb them, Su Muqing still agreed to let him stay and observe. Those who studied medicine were always exceptionally curious about such things.
Su Muqing called Huo Xiao and instructed him to thoroughly disinfect and then guard the medical robots. Afterward, wearing a thick mask and calling for a few more people, she shone a powerful flashlight on the pile of bodies blown into pieces.
While the others were curious about what she intended to do, Su Muqing handed the flashlight to the person behind her and then suddenly crouched down, her hands beginning to rummage through the pile of dismembered corpses.
"Gag…"
"Gag…"
Seeing Su Muqing stirring amidst a pile of flesh and blood, the soldiers behind her couldn't help but start retching. The soldier holding the flashlight for her trembled incessantly.
