Chapter 169 Wounded

As evening approached, Su Mo saw that the IV drip was almost finished. He pulled out the needle and slowly got out of bed.

"Hey, where are you planning to go?"

Bagger turned his head and glanced at him, asking with some surprise.

"It's nothing. I'm feeling a little stuffy, so I'm going out for a walk to get some fresh air."

Su Mo replied calmly.

Bagger didn't say anything more and just continued lying down.

Su Mo walked out of the ward. The guard soldiers standing at the door saluted.

"Lord Su Mo, where are you going? Do you need us to accompany you?"

"No, thank you."

Su Mo nodded slightly and walked down the corridor.

All the rooms on this corridor were high-end wards, and the doors were mostly open.

As he walked along, he could hear many low moans of pain.

Su Mo glanced in and found that all the wards were full. Doctors and nurses were constantly coming and going.

He continued to walk, and when he arrived at the ordinary ward area, Su Mo was stunned by the scene before him.

The entire corridor was filled with patients in extra beds. Some had burns all over their bodies, some had missing limbs, and some were highly contaminated.

"Ouch..."

"It hurts..."

"Doctor!"

...

The doctors and nurses here were extremely busy, and the air was filled with a pungent mixture of disinfectant and blood.

Su Mo walked on with a tense expression.

"Ah!"

At this moment, a warrant officer tied to a hospital bed suddenly struggled frantically. Hideous contaminated blood streaks appeared on his face, his skin began to fester, and his nails grew longer.

"Doctor, come quickly! My brother can't hold on anymore!"

Another warrant officer roared hysterically.

Su Mo glanced at him and shook his head. It was obvious that he couldn't hold on. The contamination was too severe.

Sure enough, the doctor who rushed over took one look and said anxiously,

"He's fallen. Let him go peacefully."

"Are you guys just eating and doing nothing? My brother was fine when he was sent here. He was just contaminated, why can't you save him?"

The brother guarding the warrant officer questioned with red eyes.

"Sir, listen to us. During this war, almost none of the wounded who suffered contamination damage can be rescued. This time, the negative energy contamination is extremely abnormal, especially those who have directly contacted the negative god cell contamination, there is no hope!"

The doctor quickly explained.

"Damn it!"

The warrant officer who questioned the doctor slammed his fist hard on the metal wall of the corridor. His entire hand was bleeding, and his face was filled with unwillingness.

Su Mo sighed slightly and walked on.

Just as he walked dozens of meters away, a clear gunshot rang out behind him.

"Bang!"

...

For a time, everyone accompanying the patients in the corridor became more and more silent, and a faint sadness appeared on everyone's face.

Soon after, Su Mo walked out of the central hospital and headed towards the nearest mobile station.

A dozen minutes later, Su Mo took the floating elevator and arrived at Area 18 of the Glory City's No. 1 Ship Hangar.

When Su Mo walked out of the elevator exit, he was greeted by the heavily damaged Legendary-class Star Destroyer, Immortal Blade, sitting before him.

Thousands of high-level mechanics from Star Ring City were operating multi-functional maintenance mechs, working overtime to repair the ship.

Sparks flew everywhere!

Su Mo walked towards the boarding entrance. As he approached, he saw Ti Luo with her long blue hair and wearing black mechanical armor standing there, and called out.

"Ti Luo."

Ti Luo was slightly stunned when she heard Su Mo's call. She turned her head, and when she saw Su Mo walking over, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Su Mo, why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting in the hospital?"

"I'm fine. These injuries are nothing to us. By the way, what about our casualties?"

Su Mo asked with some concern.

"Our casualties are not too serious. A total of 532 people were killed in action, and 1,551 were injured, which is still within the acceptable range."

Ti Luo reported to Su Mo.

"Okay."

Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Actually, the casualties are so low thanks to you, Su Mo."

Ti Luo replied very seriously.

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Su Mo was very surprised. He didn't think he had made any contribution. Moreover, Ti Luo and the others were risking their lives for him. He should be the one thanking them!

"That's because the mechs you equipped our people with are the best. The lowest are high-configuration Night Watch mechs. You should know that any one of these high-configuration Night Watch mechs would be top-tier combat power in any country's army."

Ti Luo explained simply to Su Mo.

From this, it could also be seen how good Su Mo was to them.

"Don't say that. Equipment is only one factor. The main thing is that you guys are strong. After all, not everyone can pilot Generation IV and Generation V mechs. Forget it, let's not discuss this. It's good that the casualties aren't serious. How are the injured being treated, and have the sacrificed comrades been properly taken care of?"

Su Mo shook his head in response, but he was quite touched in his heart. Sure enough, wars cost money. The effect of high-end weapons and garbage weapons is different.

You should know that Ti Luo's people followed the Immortal Blade and directly charged into the VI Fortress-class Combined Beast. Their combat power against monsters is very strong, so this battle damage ratio is impeccable.

"Don't worry, we have our own doctors, and they are carrying out orderly treatment. As for the sacrificed comrades, we have also recovered their bodies."

Ti Luo replied steadily.

"Okay, that's good. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave."

Su Mo nodded and was about to return to the hospital.

Suddenly, Ti Luo stopped Su Mo.

"That, Su Mo..."

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

Su Mo couldn't help but look at Ti Luo and asked with a puzzled expression.

"There's something I want to tell you."

Ti Luo's expression changed for a moment, and finally she raised her head and said to Su Mo.

"Tell me."

"Actually, the reason why we suffered so few losses this time, and the Immortal Blade was not sunk, is largely because a Standard-class Star Destroyer, the Light Crystal, took the brunt of the main gun attack of the Na Shen. Otherwise, the Immortal Blade might have already sunk, and we would have suffered heavy casualties. However, the Standard-class Star Destroyer, the Light Crystal, which took the attack for us, although it was equipped with an energy shield, failed to withstand it. The entire ship was scrapped, and it is said that the casualties were very heavy, so..."

Ti Luo simply told Su Mo about the matter.

After listening, Su Mo nodded and said to Ti Luo, "I know about this. Where is that scrapped Star Destroyer?"

"It's in Hangar No. 2, its number is 09."

Ti Luo replied quickly.

"Okay, I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry. I'll leave first."

Su Mo nodded slightly and then turned and left.
