Chapter 1158: Was Reflex

The commander has been shot. He cant leave since he needs to oversee the battlefield. Once he leaves, itll greatly damage morale, so you come with me now, said the man anxiously. If nothing unexpected occurs, well be successful in guarding this base before sunset, so the commander has no choice but force himself to hold on.

Ning Shu said to Fang Feifei who was looking after Zhu Yanqiu, Since you have free time, if these wounded soldiers want a drink of water or something, help out a bit. If more patients are brought in, if theyre bleeding heavily, sprinkle this powder on the wound and stop the bleeding first. The rest can wait until I come back.

Fang Feifei was stunned and listened blankly to Ning Shus words as she accepted the medicinal powder Ning Shu handed her. Just as she was about to speak, the other party had already left the tent.

Ning Shu hunched over as she walked through the trench. The sound of bullets filled her ears. She was almost hit by by a bullet, so she hastily hunched down even more.

Bang!

A soldier was shot and collapsed in front of Ning Shu. Ning Shu immediately squatted down to see if he could be saved.

Lets go, what are you doing? The commander is waiting. The officer in front shouted at Ning Shu. The sh.e.l.ls were so loud that people couldnt hear other people if they didnt shout.

Oh... She felt the urge to try and save the wounded whenever she saw them. Her body reacted faster than her head, it was a complete reflex. Ning Shu felt the soldiers pulse. He was already dead. Ning Shu hurriedly followed after the officer and saw that several people in the trench were standing around a man lying on a stretcher.

The commander who was lying on the stretcher seemed about thirty years old. He was already unconscious due to severe blood loss. His face was pale and his lips were colorless.

Ning Shu saw that his clothes were already soaking wet with blood around the chest area, so it was probably his heart area that had been injured. This was definitely troublesome.

It wouldnt be easy to save him. If she failed, would she be killed by these officers?

Ning Shu set down her medicine chest, undid the commanders clothes, then wiped the blood off the wound with a cotton ball. There was a hole in his chest. Ning Shus heart instantly chilled. How was she supposed to deal with this?

How is he? Hurry and save him! The officers standing nearby were all looking at Ning Shu, causing her to feel a lot of pressure.

Ning Shu used the scalpel to clean the edge of the wound and expanded it to expose the path of the bullet. There were no anesthetics, so the commander woke up from the pain and s.h.i.+fted. The officers hastily pressed the commander back down.

Ning Shu pulled apart the dead tissue and saw that the deformed bullet was stuck on a rib. Some fragments were even scattered in the flesh. If these fragments werent extracted, theyd cause lead poisoning.

Ning Shu slowly pried open the rib tissue with the scalpel and the commander immediately inhaled sharply in pain. His eyes opened as his face twisted with pain and sweat covered his forehead. Ning Shu took out the bullet with the tweezer in her right hand and the wound immediately started gus.h.i.+ng blood like a spring. Ning Shu sprinkled some medicinal powder, then hastily pressed a cotton ball on it.

Once the bleeding slowed, she extracted the rest of the shards before covering the wound with a pad and bandaging it up. Ning Shu was quite worried since the commander was barely breathing. She dissolved an anti-inflammatory and anti-infection pill in water, then had the officer feed it to the commander.
