Chapter 398: Incoming Bomb

~8 min read 1,465 words

The fire outside had gone out; she came out to tend to the fire and add water, which also let those keeping watch outside know that she had been inside the whole time.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyin in the space had been working the entire time, and bottle after bottle of medicinal powder was being labeled with special marks by An Yinan.

Others would not be able to tell them apart.

"Nan Nan!" Seeing the curtain of the small tent open, Li Xiue walked up.

An Yinan's face was a bit pale; she had been busy all day, and it was already dark.

It was also because it was dark that she dared not stay inside anymore; after all, the tent could not block the light.

Shadows suddenly disappearing and reappearing was quite frightening!

"Let's hurry back to rest; we need to get up early tomorrow," An Yinan said.

The few of them returned to the tent, where the others had already fallen asleep; this time Zhang Hong was sleeping on the inside, and when the three of them walked in, no one noticed at all.

An Yinan waited for them to lie down, and in just a short while, those two were already snoring.

She took her Silver Needle and, starting with the soundly sleeping Zhang Jia, pricked the blisters on her feet and then sprinkled on the medicinal powder.

She then took out the anti-swelling ointment and applied it to her hands.

It was their first day here, and everyone was unaccustomed to it, but they had persevered, so she would leave the rest to herself.

Liu Er Ya, Zhang Hong, Zhao Qiu Hua...

She tended to them one by one.

But when it came to Li Xiue, Li Xiue opened her eyes and saw the person crouching on the ground pricking the blisters for her; she closed her eyes again.

Her eyes were just very moist; when she left home, her heart felt empty, and she knew she no longer had a home.

But now, her heart was full!

She knew she still had a home.

A place where there is care from others is a home!

After finishing for her sisters, she lay down on the large straw mat fully clothed, and the moment she touched the straw mat, she fell straight asleep.

She didn't care at all if it was prickly, and didn't care at all if it was clean or not.

The next day's bugle sounded; no one complained, and there was no chaos.

"We need to head over early today; everyone eat something and assemble," Qin Hao stood in the tent and announced loudly.

His eyes were bloodshot; he had likely been busy all night again.

The few of them went out, grabbed a coarse flour pancake to bite on, and hurriedly checked their backpacks to see if their things were complete.

"According to the colors, you few divide up the medicinal powder and confirm the use of the powder with Zhang Hong."

"You must not use them incorrectly."

An Yinan instructed the few of them.

She had taken out five bottles of her medicinal powder in total, one for each person, and in her backpack was a Small Medicine Box, with all the important medicine inside this Small Medicine Box.

Zhang Hong ate her pancake while organizing the placement of the medicines.

"This red paper is the Hemostatic Medicine; this will definitely be needed in case of heavy bleeding."

"Muscle-Relaxing and Blood-Activating Ointment."

"Debridement Medicine."

"Anti-inflammatory Medicine."

"..."

Zhang Hong did not hold anything back at all, introducing them one by one to everyone, and not just to these few, as even Qian Zhao and the others were silently memorizing them.

Who knew what kind of situation might arise where they would also need to step onto the field?

"Dismiss! Move out!" When the time came, Qin Hao ordered loudly.

An Yinan was biting on her pancake while thinking about things.

"I submitted your request; the General Person-in-Charge added two more sets of Silver Needle and said to pick them up in two days." When he went over yesterday, the sister-in-law had been refining medicine the whole time and hadn't come out of the tent.

He could only come over now to say a word.

An Yinan nodded; the matter was a bit strange, as logically speaking, it shouldn't have been so straightforward.

Her space also had traditional Chinese medicine, but she wouldn't take it out to use unless it was an emergency; it wasn't that she was being secretive, but rather that she was leaving a backup plan for everyone.

Everything possible should be prepared in advance.

"So straightforward?" An Yinan asked directly.

Qin Hao looked at her, and seeing the sister-in-law's puzzled expression, he was puzzled too.

"You don't know?" he asked.

An Yinan finished the last bit of her pancake, "Know what?"

Qin Hao repeated what the General Person-in-Charge had said earlier.

"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Qin Hao said, not understanding.

An Yinan's eyes lit up, "So that's how it is!"

Who else could it be? It must be Guo Ge!

Fearing that the progress here would be delayed, he had directly revealed her identity; it wasn't for the Military to open any back doors for her.

It was to make it convenient for her to use medicine, and since she was paying for it herself, there would be no pressure on the Military's supplies.

Whatever she needed could also be delivered in a timely manner.

Qin Hao looked at the sister-in-law's expression; it seemed she already knew who it was.

However, he didn't ask in detail; in any case, doing this made it convenient for the sister-in-law's future use of medicine.

Arriving at the battlefield, they had no rest; person after person was carried over, and person after person was carried away.

"Doctor An." Someone came over carrying a person on their back.

But just at this moment, An Yinan's eyelid twitched.

"Everyone, scatter quickly!" An Yinan suddenly shouted loudly.

And with one hand she carried her bag, while with the other she grabbed Liu Er Ya beside her, running quickly toward the distance.

The people of Quanshui Village had already formed an instinct regarding An Yinan's orders.

As for the soldiers, they were even more disciplined, obeying every command without hesitation.

The moment An Yinan's words left her mouth, everyone took action.

"Boom!" A shell slammed directly into this Regional Economics area.

The medical area where they had just been had already turned into ruins.

"The medicine!" Zhang Hong was just about to run back, but was held back by Zhao Qiu Hua.

"Your life is what's important!" Zhao Qiu Hua roared.

But Zhang Hong's eyes were red at this moment, "This medicine can save so many people's lives!"

No matter how she struggled, Zhao Qiu Hua and Zhang Jia, who had just reacted, did not let go.

They waited for a full five minutes.

Only when that peculiar sense of crisis vanished did An Yinan heave a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Hong, go find them; Zhang Jia, go with your sister."

"Everyone else, come over and help." An Yinan quickly issued orders.

The medical area was a safe zone, with basic cover in front, but now it was already a ruin.

Yet on the edge of the ruins, one could still see people busy at work.

All the medical areas had heard the commotion; after all, this time the noise was too close.

Zhang Hong rummaged through the items, finding the medicine bottles one by one; some were shattered, while others were still intact.

Like a beloved treasure, she solemnly placed these medicines into her bag.

From this day on, her bag never left her side again.

"What is the situation here?" Qin Hao heard the report and hurried over from a distant Regional Economics area.

The sound just now was so loud that it shook the large tents of the Camp, and it was hard to imagine the casualties here.

"I don't know where the bomb flew in from." An Yinan truly did not know.

If not for the warning from her space, I fear that few of them would have survived this time!

"What is the casualty situation?" Qin Hao asked with some anxiety.

This was the first time a major incident had occurred in the medical area; if handled poorly, it might cause all the medical staff to become unsettled.

Everyone immediately formed up, but An Yinan helped the injured person down.

It was just after they had come over that the bomb had flown in.

Time was urgent, and she could not attend to them.

Fortunately, the person carrying the injured was quick-witted; after hearing An Yinan's words, they ran directly after An Yinan.
