Chapter 496: Chapter 342 Boss’s Foresight (First Update)_1

"First, help me get his clothes off," Mu Lin instructed the uninjured people around her.

Anybody would do.

"Okay." Even though he himself was injured, Wu Ya was eager to help. However, he was kept back by the others, "Let us do it," they said. As snipers who never moved, their injury rate was lower.

Black Shark had people stationed in hidden locations to prevent an unexpected return attack. He figured they won’t be back so soon, considering their disorderly retreat before. When everything was set, several people stepped forward to assist.

Mu Lin took a scalpel out of the bag, sterilized it in flame after anesthetizing the wound and then pain relief treatments.

Kneeling by Xigua, Mu Lin looked into his eyes and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t hurt; if you feel scared, close your eyes." The thought of having an incision close to the heart would scare anyone, even those fearless of death.

Fear and horror are not always the same.

Her cold voice was soothing.

Xigua looked at Mu Lin, his lips curling slightly in trust, "Sister-in-law, go ahead." Had it been someone else, he might have been afraid knowing he could die here, but Mu Lin was different. He trusted her as much as he trusted their boss.

If even the Poison Doctor couldn’t cure him, it would mean that his fate was predetermined to end here.

Truth be told, Xigua felt unprecedented peace at this moment.

"Okay," without saying anything further, Mu Lin quickly went to work; her scalpel did not hesitate as it neared the blurry wound, fluid seeping from the wound. A breathless silence fell upon the observers. One has to say, while Xigua was not tense, they certainly were...

Even the brothers keeping watch around the perimeter could not help but cast a worried glance and prayed for Xigua.

Nobody wanted to witness another heartbreaking scene.

It’s not that they didn’t trust Mu Lin, but they were scared.

They could give up their lives, but they could never bear to watch their brothers lose theirs. The pain was a hundredfold worse than their deaths.

The unique bond among soldiers is exactly this.

Mu Lin worked swiftly, before anyone could pull themselves back together, her motion stopped. She had extracted the bullet and tossed it aside.

"If the bullet had deviated even slightly, it would have struck the heart directly. Even I can’t guarantee anything in that case." Had the bullet hit the heart, she wouldn’t have been as confident to deal with it. The heart is a critical organ, and healing a wounded heart is not a simple task.

A slight delay could mean death.

Hearing Mu Lin, Jing Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, gratitude gleaming in his eyes, "Linlin, thank you." He owed her a lot for saving Xigua’s life with the life-saving pill and prompt arrival. If not for her, Xigua’s fate would have been unimaginable.

A sight he couldn’t bear to see.

Listening to this extremely uncomfortable words of gratitude, Mu Lin glanced at Jing Chen and smiled, "Don’t forget, I am the military doctor of the Ying Sun, although I have not officially reported yet; you were the one who recruited me. ’Thank you’ is not suitable between us."

There was no need for formalities between them.

As she spoke, she quickly and adeptly stopped the bleeding, applied medicine, and bandaged it. Then she told Xigua and the others, "You should be safe for now, but avoid exertion to prevent reopening the wound and heavy bleeding. If you go into shock, then we would be in real trouble." He’s already lost too much blood.

With one injury atop another, death seemed the only outcome.

The others nodded in understanding.

Jing Chen continued, "I don’t think they will be back anytime soon. We can rest here for one day and start again early tomorrow." He turned to the young woman, "Miss Luo, what’s your opinion?" They had to respect the wish of the person they were protecting. However, sometimes they need to consider their own willingness too.

The young girl’s name was Luo Shiyan.

Names in Y Country followed an East Asian system where the surname preceded the first name, similar to Chinese and their children usually inherit surnames from their fathers. The given names usually consist of three characters, with the surname at the beginning and given name following. There is a placeholder character in the middle of the given name, which is "Wen" for men and "Shi" for women.

So.

Looking at Jing Chen, Luo Shiyan shook her head gently, "I’m alright. Xigua ended up like this because of me. I don’t mind taking a few more days off." She didn’t understand much. As long as they took the lead, she was ready and willing to cooperate anytime, anywhere.

Actually, Luo Shiyan had always had a fondness for this race. She’d heard so much about it from her father’s mouth since her childhood; in her father’s eyes, it was an ancient race. They were modest, virtuous, disliked war, loved peace, and vastly different from their own Y Country.

At least outside, you won’t encounter as many dangers as in Y Country.

That was one of the reasons why Luo Shiyan would sneak out to play at night.

You would only know once you had experienced it, this place was truly lovable beyond measure.

Jing Chen nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Mu Lin walked up to Wu Ya. Before he could speak, Wu Ya had already boldly taken off his coat.

He didn’t dare to wait for Doctor Mu to move or speak; after all, Xigua could clearly feel that their Boss was a total jealous pot.

Looking at the injury on Xigua’s arm, Mu Lin raised her eyebrows, "You really have been hurt twice." The two bullets hit with startling accuracy.

Hearing this, Wu Ya sighed, "Isn’t it, both hits were in the same place; counting the bullet extraction, that’s three injuries." He didn’t feel the pain while worrying about Xigua just now. Now that he focused on his wound, it really hurt like hell.

Was the person who shot him the same both times?

Mu Lin didn’t say anything. Two of the Ying Sun members stood by her side. As soon as Mu Lin stood up, they handed her the necessary items. There were quite a few injured this time; they couldn’t do much else, but at least they could help a little; occasionally, they could even help with bandaging.

As the silver needle pierced his skin, it stung a little; as Mu Lin’s scalpel inched closer, Wu Ya frowned at the sight, appearing unable to bear straight eyesight, causing Mu Lin to raise her eyebrows slightly.

Was it that painful?

Then, when Mu Lin removed the bullet, applied the medicine, and finished bandaging, Wu Ya didn’t feel anything at all.

"All done." A cold voice rang out.

"Done? So quickly!" Wu Ya instinctively turned to look at the wound on his arm, then looked at Mu Lin in surprise, the corners of his mouth cracking into an unusually cheerful smile, "Damn, it finally doesn’t hurt anymore." His fear of pain genuinely scorns him in the hearts of the Ying Sun members around him.

Are they sure this kid was one of them? They were skeptical.

Ignoring him, Mu Lin walked to the others and helped them bandage and treat their wounds one by one. The number of injured was indeed quite a lot, but fortunately, they were all minor injuries. Some people were just slightly scraped, some had already used Mu Lin’s medicine and their wounds had already scabbed over. Although some of them had reopened, Mu Lin was there, and they were sure she would handle it better.

The hawk-eyed people were truly experiencing the massive difference between having a military doctor and not for the first time.

Their leader was truly a visionary, not only did he find them the best military doctor, but he also indirectly found himself a wife. It was really a case of killing two birds with one stone.

The boss was finally getting married. After that, it should be their turn, right?

Although they said so, they seemed to have already heard the wailing voices of the female soldiers within the military area.

Had they ever wondered if Jing Chen was really "accidentally" looking for a wife?

After bandaging the wounds, Mu Lin returned to Jing Chen’s side and sat down, her body resting slightly against his. She hugged her knees without putting much pressure, and asked casually, "How come the losses were so heavy?" She had heard that no one could force the Ying Sun Special Forces into their current state. If it hadn’t been for seeing it with her own eyes, no one would probably believe it.

As a habitual move, Jing Chen held Mu Lin in his arms, smiling slightly with a sense of helplessness, "We fell into their ambush." He blamed himself for not having arranged things properly as the leader.

Hearing the hint of regret in Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin chuckled teasingly, "I can’t believe it, you can actually regret sometimes."

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen laughed helplessly, "I have no choice, after all, I’m also human." No matter how powerful his abilities were, he was still a regular person. After a moment of silence, Jing Chen reversed the question: "What about you? What happened after I left?"

"Did you get into a fight with those people again?" After all, that bunch never wanted to let it go, did they?

"Yes." Mu Lin nodded without hiding anything, "Indeed, we did. Just a few days after you left."
