Chapter 1160: Our Duty is to be Ready

Human’s lives in troubled times were the most worthless. At the very least, these people were still alive. They were already in a much better state than those who were hit and died on the spot.

“Military doctor, hurry and come with me. The commander has a fever,” said the officer from before to Ning Shu.

The moment Ning Shu heard, she put the medicine chest on her shoulder and followed him without saying anything

Zhu Yanqiu who was drinking the rice soup only saw Ning Shu’s back which wasn’t very clear under the weak light. He asked Fang Feifei, “Our military doctor’s female?”

Fang Feifei’s hand which was holding the bowl stiffened for a moment, then she nodded without saying anything.

Ning Shu arrived at the commander’s tent. The commander was currently sleeping on a simple wooden bed. His body was slender and even longer than the wooden board.

She walked over to touch his forehead and look at his wound. The gauze covering the wound was oozing blood and his body was covered with sweat. Ning Shu hastily said, “Get some water and wipe him down.”

Ning Shu opened the medicine chest and dissolved the western medicine in water before feeding it to the commander.

A guard got water to wipe the commander down.

Ning Shu changed the gauze again.

She had done everything she could. If even this wasn’t enough, then she expressed that there was nothing she could do.

“Where did these things in your box come from?” asked the officer.

“I prepared them all,” said Ning Shu

“Head back first. I’ll call you again if anything happens with the commander,” said the officer. “What’s your name?”

“Zhu Suniang.” Ning Shu put the medicine chest on her shoulder.

“Then I’ll call you Doctor Zhu. I’m Tang Zheng,” said Tang Zheng.

“Officer Tang,” greeted Ning Shu politely. She then said, “The army is very short of medicine. Simple physical treatment alone can’t save the lives of the soldiers. Can we get some medical resources?”

“I can’t give you a definite answer until the commander wakes up. It’s not just that our army that lack medicine, all the other troops are in the same situation,” said Tang Zheng as he spread his hands helplessly.

Ning Shu could only nod. During war, not only were medical resources in short supply, food was as well. She now regretted not getting even more medicine.

She knew that there would be a shortage of medical resources, but she never thought that there would be such a shortage. If she hadn’t prepared anything in advance, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything in this situation.

No matter how clever the wife, she couldn’t cook without rice!

Ning Shu headed back to the tent with the medicine chest on her back. She felt dizzy. She had been working all day so her brain hadn’t even had a moment to rest. She collapsed on the wooden board and prepared to nap for a while.

She didn’t know what things would be like tomorrow. In these days after days of desperate combat, no one was sure whether they’d still be alive tomorrow. Countless comrades have already fallen next to them. In the next moment, perhaps they’d also fall like their comrades had.

Humans were greedy and malicious. They plundered and snatched.

For the sake of survival, one must take up arms and resist.
