Chapter 20: Joining the Field Medical Team, Venturing Alone to No. 69 Marking Point

When Zhou Chu heard the middle-aged soldier call his name, his heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward: "Reporting, I am Zhou Chu!"

Jia Mengshan's brows furrowed into a "chuan" shape, and after looking Zhou Chu up and down for a moment, he said: "You bound an F-Grade Soul Profession?"

Zhou Chu paused and said: "I suppose so!"

Jia Mengshan then said: "Then please demonstrate your Soul Profession skill!"

Zhou Chu nodded and summoned a contract servant from the Contract Pool that was nearly two meters long and looked like a cross between a spider and an ant.

After his Life Soul Artifact, 【Dead Man's Coffin】, was upgraded to B-Grade, the C-Grade Crypt Poison Spider in his original Contract Pool had turned into a B-Grade Crypt Demon.

Its body size was even two sizes larger than the C-Grade Crypt Poison Spider.

When Jia Mengshan saw the Crypt Demon summoned by Zhou Chu, his brows couldn't help but twitch twice.

This thing looked full of evil aura, resembling the lowest-level monsters in the Calamity Legion.

However, its combat power was lacking; it would probably be decent if used as a mobile stretcher for transporting the wounded.

Jia Mengshan signaled for Zhou Chu to retract the summoned creature, then said:

"The Exorcism Army has a regulation that one must have at least an E-Grade Soul Profession to join the Scout Team."

"So you cannot join the Scout Team; help the Field Medical Team transport the wounded for now!"

Immediately after, Jia Mengshan picked up the walkie-talkie: "Field Medical Team, have your Captain Lin come over."

Before long, a girl wearing a field medical uniform hurried over.

"Reporting to the Captain, Field Medical Team Captain Lin Yue'er has arrived to report, please give instructions!"

The girl who called herself Lin Yue'er puffed out her chest toward Jia Mengshan and gave a straight military salute.

Lin Yue'er had a sweet appearance, a well-proportioned figure, was full of youthful vitality, and her voice was crisp and pleasant.

"Wow, she is actually Lin Yue'er, the senior from our Tianhua No. 3 Middle School!"

"Lin Yue'er? Is that the school beauty from No. 3 Middle School who bound the S-Grade Light Mage four years ago?"

"Senior Lin isn't just a Light Mage anymore; it's said that during university, she triggered an Awakened Talent and became an SS-level War Priest! She is the first person from Shenxia University to trigger an Awakened Talent."

"Senior Lin is also the record holder for the Expert Difficulty of the Tianhua City Novice Dungeon, and no one has broken it in four years!"

"Finally seeing her in person, she's so beautiful; she truly lives up to being the school beauty of No. 3 Middle School."

"Eh? That's not right, I heard that during today's city-wide assessment, someone already broke this record! The person who broke the record seems to be named Zhou Chu?"

"Zhou Chu? Is it this Zhou Chu who bound an F-Grade?"

"That's impossible, how could an F-Grade break Senior Lin's record? Are you joking? You must have heard wrong!"

More than twenty new Soul Profession recruits were whispering privately.

And the appearance of Lin Yue'er attracted the gazes of the male recruits even more.

"Xiao Lin, this is Zhou Chu, he bound an F-Grade Soul Profession. Take him back and have him be responsible for transporting the wounded."

Lin Yue'er looked at Zhou Chu with some surprise and said with some difficulty: "Captain, the lowest-ranked member in the medical team is D-Grade. It doesn't seem right to let an F-Grade rookie join the medical team."

"In case of any emergency, we won't be able to look after him!"

"Why not send him to the cooking squad? Helping out Chef Chen and the others would be better than following our medical team."

Hearing Lin Yue'er's words, Jia Mengshan began to hesitate.

Seeing this, Zhou Chu hurriedly said: "Captain, please let me join the medical team to transport the wounded. I've never started a fire or cooked a meal since I was little; I'm clumsy and would definitely just cause trouble."

"I guarantee that if an emergency occurs, I will definitely be able to take care of myself and won't need others to worry!"

Jia Mengshan did not hesitate any further and immediately made the decision: "Fine, then it's settled. Zhou Chu, you just focus on transporting the wounded."

"Xiao Lin, carry out the order!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Watching Zhou Chu leave with Lin Yue'er, those recruits were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Just a bottom-feeder who bound an F-Grade, yet he joined Lin Yue'er's medical team the moment he arrived and got the chance to have close contact with the school beauty senior. What kind of fate is this?

A few boys who bound E-Grade Soul Professions wished they could have bound an F-Grade Soul Profession like Zhou Chu, so they could join the medical team and form a dedicated stretcher squad.

Lin Yue'er led Zhou Chu toward the direction of the Field Medical Team, and neither of them spoke along the way.

Soon, they arrived at the camp of the Field Medical Team.

It was a busy scene here, with the doctors and nurses of the medical team treating the wounded in a tense manner.

These injured people were all members of the Scout Team who had just retreated from the front lines and were undergoing treatment.

Sure enough, being on the front lines, danger is always by one's side.

Lin Yue'er brought Zhou Chu to a corner and pointed at several stretchers: "These are the things you are responsible for. You must be ready at all times; once there are wounded who need to be transported, you must act as quickly as possible."

Zhou Chu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Wait, am I the only one responsible for transporting the wounded? Are there no helpers?"

Lin Yue'er nodded: "Just you for now, maybe you'll have a helper in a while."

She turned around, and just as she was about to leave, she stopped and urged Zhou Chu: "Once you are in the medical team, you must follow orders and not act on your own. Do you understand?"

Zhou Chu nodded quickly: "Understood, Senior Lin."

At this moment, the front lines were within arm's reach, and Zhou Chu wished he could immediately charge deep into the Calamity Land to slaughter some monsters.

However, this was the army after all, and Lin Yue'er had already given the warning to follow orders and not act on his own.

Zhou Chu had finally obtained the chance to come to the front lines; he absolutely could not blatantly violate discipline.

After wandering around the medical team's station for a while, Zhou Chu discovered that the position of transporting the wounded seemed to be an existence that could be done without.

Before he had even arrived, the wounded were still being transported back safely.

Therefore, even if there were truly wounded who needed transport, there was no need for him to step in.

He, a God-level Soul Profession, was being ignored just like that!

Just at this moment, a hurried report came through the walkie-talkie not far away.

It stated that a large number of monsters had been discovered at No. 69 Marking Point within the Calamity Land.

The scout squad responsible for the No. 69 reconnaissance mission encountered monsters; people have already been injured, the situation is critical, and support from other squads and medical teams is urgently needed.

At this moment, the medical team members who heard the news were already quickly packing their equipment, preparing to move out.

This is an opportunity!

Zhou Chu said nothing, shouldered a stretcher, and ran quickly toward the outside of the base.

Because of the emergence of this emergency, absolutely no one in the entire medical team would pay attention to Zhou Chu, a newcomer who had bound an F-rank Soul Profession.

Carrying the stretcher, Zhou Chu rushed into the Calamity Land in one breath.

Heavy fog shrouded the line of sight, and visibility was extremely low, at most no more than ten-plus meters of distance.

After being eroded by Calamity Qi, the land was barren and desolate, with shriveled corpses and withered bones scattered everywhere.

This place was originally a vibrant area, but now it has been polluted by Calamity Qi into a land of death.

The Calamity Land is filled with unknown dangers, and monsters could appear from the fog at any time.

Zhou Chu dropped the stretcher in his hand and hurriedly summoned the Hero Servant Xina out from the Hero Tomb.

After resting in the Hero Tomb for a period of time, Xina was radiating vitality.

She respectfully nodded to Zhou Chu and said, "Master, Xina is at your service at any time!"

Zhou Chu then summoned a Crypt Demon from the Contract Pool and straddled it.

Only then did he instruct Xina: "Take me to the No. 69 Marking Point!"
