Chapter 1156: Heading to the Battlefield

Since Ning Shu was a military doctor, she was able to ride in the car and didnt have to walk with the troops with the heavy medicine chest on her back.

It was now July, so the weather was very brutal. The troops had to march under the full heat of the sun. Some soldiers couldnt endure the heat and got heatstroke, so Ning Shu used the camping pot to boil a pot of water and sprinkled in medicinal powder before handing it out to the soldiers that had gotten heatstroke.

Ning Shu was quite glad that she had prepared well in advance, otherwise she definitely wouldnt have been able to deal with this issue. If she was useless as a military doctor, she probably wont be able to live long. If something happened, shed be abandoned. A person of no value wasnt worth saving.

The troops kept marching almost without any rest. Since there werent enough cars, the soldiers had no choice but to run.

When they finally got near the battlefield, they heard the distant sounds of continuous gunfire. There were fighter aircrafts in the sky that would drop lethal bombs from time to time.

Ning Shu was immediately a.s.signed to a tent at the back of the battlefield. It was said that the former military doctor had died, so Ning Shu was to replace him.

The moment Ning Shu walked into the tent, she saw that there were countless wounded lying inside with expressions of extreme pain. Some people were even rolling on the ground in pain while crying out like they were about to die.

Ning Shu quickly set down her medicine chest and began treating the wounded. She was working all by herself. After treating one person, she immediately moved on to the next.

It was her first time taking part in modern warfare. The sounds of exploding sh.e.l.ls constantly boomed in her ears and she could feel the shadows of the fighter aircrafts pa.s.sing by overhead. Bullets seemed to streak past her ears.

A single bullet was enough to take a life.

Ning Shu wrapped a piece of cloth tightly around a soldiers thigh. This soldiers calf had been blown away and the wound opening was badly mangled with white bone showing. The wound was currently still bleeding nonstop and this solders gaze was already starting to become unfocused. It was clear that he wouldnt be able to hold on for much longer.

After binding the thigh with the cloth strip to slow the flow of blood, she sprinkled the hemostatic powder on the wound.

The soldier wailed from the pain, but Ning Shu just gritted her teeth to continue dealing with the wound. There was no way she could waste time gently consoling the patient in this kind of situation.

Every few minutes, another person would be brought in. Ning Shu treated the people who were most severely injured first, those who werent that severely injured would first be set aside.

Ning Shu felt numb as she continuously treated all kinds of wounds.

It was tiring, very tiring, but she couldnt stop. She had known from the start that it would be very hard to be a military doctor, but she never thought that it would be this rough.

In addition, she even had to guard against the sh.e.l.ls dropped by enemy aircraft. Every time a sh.e.l.l was dropped, it felt like shed go deaf. The ground beneath her would also shake violently.

Once the planes stopped dropping sh.e.l.ls, shed get back up from the ground to continue treating the wounded soldiers. It felt like her hand had already died from overuse, but she still didnt know when she would be able to take a break.
