Chapter 193
The temporary operating room at the medical station was brightly lit. The Starfire members who had just finished the battle for the medical station were being sent in one after another.
Among them, three members were seriously injured—one had been shot in the abdomen, one had a fractured arm,
and another had been grazed on the thigh by shrapnel; blood had soaked through their clothes, and their faces were as pale as paper.
Chen Yao was busy treating the wounds of the lightly injured members, and when she saw the seriously injured members being carried in,
she was so anxious she was covered in sweat: "The one shot in the abdomen needs immediate hemostasis and suturing, but the suture needles I have aren't fine enough,
and I'm afraid if I don't handle it well, it will get infected." Lin Chen had just finished arranging the battlefield cleanup; hearing this, he immediately walked into the operating room: "Let me do it. I learned battlefield first aid before and have handled similar wounds."
Chen Yao was somewhat surprised, but she still immediately stepped aside. Lin Chen put on gloves,
found fine suture needles and sterile thread from the medical kit, and first injected a hemostatic agent into the member shot in the abdomen,
then cleaned the wound with saline, his movements precise and swift. His fingers were nimble,
and when suturing the wound, the stitches were neat. He quickly completed the hemostasis and suturing, and even carefully applied antibacterial ointment.
"Next, treat the fracture." Lin Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and picked up the splint and bandages,
first gently resetting the fractured arm, then securing it with the splint. When wrapping the bandages, his force was moderate,
ensuring the fixation effect without causing the member excessive pressure. Finally, when treating the thigh shrapnel wound,
he used tweezers to precisely extract the shrapnel, avoiding blood vessels and nerves, and did not let the member suffer any extra pain throughout the process.
"Team Leader Lin, your medical skills are too amazing! You're even more proficient than professional medical personnel."
The member helping nearby couldn't help but exclaim. Lin Chen smiled: "I often encountered this situation when carrying out missions in the past, and slowly I practiced it out."
"You guys take good care of the wounded, and call me if there's any situation." After speaking, he took off his gloves, preparing to go to the temporary safe house to see the situation of Lin Guodong's family—he had hit them in the morning, and he always felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the temporary safe house, he heard suppressed crying coming from inside. Lin Chen pushed open the door,
and the scene before his eyes stunned him: Lin Xiaoxiao was lying on the ground, her face bruised and purple,
bloodstains hanging from the corners of her mouth, clearly unable to get up; a large chunk of her hair had been pulled out,
scattered on the ground, revealing a bald scalp; her left eye was also swollen like a walnut, almost unable to open, and she could only look at the door weakly with her right eye.
Liu Mei sat on the ground, holding Lin Xiaoxiao, tears streaming down continuously: "How could you use such a heavy hand?
She is just a child!"
Lin Guodong stood to the side, his fists clenched tight, his eyes full of anger, but he dared not step forward.
Lin Chen frowned; the force he used when hitting Lin Xiaoxiao in the morning was clearly very light, how could it have become like this?
"It wasn't me who hit her. I only touched her lightly in the morning; it's impossible for her to be injured like this."
Lin Chen explained immediately. Liu Mei, however, did not believe him, crying and shouting: "Besides you, who else would hit her? We are locked here,
and can't even go out the door; if it's not you, who is it? You are just bullying us on purpose because of the rumors!"
Lin Chen squatted down, wanting to check Lin Xiaoxiao's injuries, but Lin Guodong suddenly rushed over,
and pushed him away: "Don't touch my daughter! If you dare to get close to her again, I'll fight you to the death!"
Lin Chen steadied his figure, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao groaning in pain on the ground,
knowing in his heart that now was not the time to argue: "Stop arguing first; I'll take her to the medical station to treat her wounds; it will be too late if we wait any longer."
Liu Mei hesitated for a moment, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's increasingly weak appearance,
and finally nodded. Lin Chen carefully picked up Lin Xiaoxiao; her body was burning hot,
clearly running a high fever, and she was intermittently calling out "Mom, it hurts" in her mouth. Lin Chen quickened his pace, running toward the medical station, his heart full of doubts—who exactly had used such a heavy hand on a child?
