Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 171
After hanging the call, Jiang Xiu heard noises from the Medic Station. It seemed that Qiu Yinru and a few students were arguing with the personnel stationed there.
Jiang Xiu went over there to take a look. Qiu Yinru pulled his shirt when he came over, "Jiang Xiu, she's not giving treating Professor Xu, not even willing to give an IV drip."
The other party was a 30-year-old woman who wore a white coat on top of military attire, "Student, I've already explained it to you that something has happened at the front line, so we have a lot of wounded personnel. It happened so suddenly that we don't have much medicine, so we have to first treat the injured soldiers."
Qiu Yinru argued with her, "Naturally, the injured soldiers must be taken care of, but you should give higher priority to the Professor. He's so old, and we were stuck in the desert for several days, so he's in a dangerous condition."
The female officer countered her, "You went into the desert to explore archaeological ruins while our soldiers were injured to defend our country's honor. Moreover, this is the Medic Station of the garrison, so we have to obviously prioritize the soldiers."
Jiang Xiu checked the place out. The Medic Station's corridor was filled with beds and soldiers with injured heads, missing limbs were resting on them. Some even screamed with pain. It appeared as if they had retreated back from a battlefield.
Qiu Yinru didn't listen to the officer and got angry, "Jiang Xiu, tell her…"
"There's no need for me to speak to them." Jiang Xiu interjected.
Qiu Yinru's eyes grew wide open, "You're such a bigshot so why won't they dare to give you face?"
Jiang Xiu broke into laughter, "Does he know who I am?"
The female officer looked towards Jiang Xiu. It seemed like she didn't know who he was.
Qiu Yinru got furious, "Why did those people get scared after hearing your name then? Since you're so powerful, you can surely make the people of a Medic Station do your bidding."
"It's not like I'm a landowner or bureaucrat."
Jiang Xiu turned towards the officer, "What happened? Why are so many soldiers injured?"
The officer replied, "The garrison suffered an attack from unknown monsters. They were two crimson monsters with high defensive as well as offensive abilities. Their saliva was capable of corroding iron. We used a tank, an armored car as well as several soldiers as the price to kill those monsters."
"God knows where those monsters popped out from. Something like them had never appeared here."
Jiang Xiu was stunned, the students too looked at each other. Those monsters sounded like the ones they had encountered at the Ancient City. Jiang Xiu pondered on it. It seemed like his guess was right. "How about this? Those people had collapsed due to dehydration. Why don't you give them a bit of the drip if the medicine isn't enough? That should allow them to last until more medicine arrives."
Jiang Xiu's proposal was very rational. No matter what, if their lives are gone, it won't look good for the Medic Station as well, but this female officer clearly didn't place them in her eyes. She rejected the proposal without any hesitation, "That won't do. I have orders from my superior that the treatment of the soldiers has a higher priority."
Jiang Xiu liked to kill and was vicious as well as merciless towards enemies, but he didn't like to bully good people. That's why he used kind words to persuade the other party but didn't expect he would get refused. It became quite awkward for Deity Xiu this time.
Such a thing was called 'bringing disgrace on one's own head.'
Qiu Yinru, Chen Dewen, and the others looked at him with weirdly. They felt that he had acted quite violently in the desert which was void of rules but acted meek after coming back to society.
"Let me make a call, okay?"
"It won't matter who you call. The orders came from the commander of this zone. The soldiers are the highest priority." Not only the soldiers but many of the local frontier residents were injured as well.
The students all felt dejected. "What should we do then?"
"I recommend taking him to the city. As he's exhausted as well as dehydrated and also quite old in age, it will be dangerous if he stays unconscious." The officer advised them.
"The city is 100 km away from here. The route is quite bumpy as well. Professor Xu might not last the entire journey." Qiu Yinru said.
She knew that the officer didn't wish for them to stay here, but if they moved Professor Xu and the others under such circumstances, the consequences would be terrible.
"We can't do anything else. Let's go to the city."
The students compromised in the end.
"It'll be too late if you go to the city."
"Wait a bit. Let me make a call first."
He took out the cell phone and called Gu Dekang, "I'm at the Western Region's Border Area Garrison's Medic Station. Send a person to cooperate."
"Alright!" Gu Dekang replied.
Gu Dekang felt like he was turning into Jiang Xiu's underling nowadays. Such a leader like him was living the life of a lackey, but he was quite happy with it and lived diligently. Jiang Xiu had already passed the Explosive Punch fist art, and a 100 chosen elite had already begun cultivating it.
It was quite difficult to coordinate with people across another military district. To avoid delaying time, Gu Dekang personally called the commander of the frontier garrison, Wu Guiyong.
"I am Gu Dekang. My military district's supreme advisor, Jiang Luoxia is at your border area's Medic Station. He has wounded people over there who need medical support right now."
"So, it's Commander Gu."
"I'm sorry, but we lack medicine over here so I'm afraid we can't help him." Wu Guiyong replied.
Gu Dekang's relationship with the Western Region's military district was never good, so he hung the call after hearing that then called the HQ.
Wu Guiyong leaped up from his chair after receiving a call from the HQ.
"Y-Yes…"
"I'll arrange it immediately."
Wu Guiyong hung the call then cursed out in a fit of anger, "Motherf*cker! Gu Dekang, do you think this Daddy's people aren't human? Why should I prioritize your men first?"
"Xiao Chu!"
A 20-year-old officer outside the door came inside.
"Take two soldiers with you and go to the Medic Station. See what that person from Jingmen's Military Command needs but there's no need to obey them."
"Yes!"
After the guard captain left the building, he got onto his jeep and made towards the Medic Station. He felt quite pissed. The frontier had suffered an attack from monsters. He was quite busy with work, and now he still had to go play nice with a leader of another command center.
Bullshit!
It usually took 10 minutes to travel, but he made a leisurely 20-minute ride to reach the Medic Station. He got down the jeep, went inside and saw several wounded people there. He scrunched up his brows, "Who is Mr. Jiang?"
"It's me!" Jiang Xiu replied.
Xiao Chu sized him up and down and saw that he looked around 20-years old. Those accompanying him were all students too. He almost cursed out in anger. A guard captain like him had to come to play nice with a bunch of kids. He was filled with contempt towards Jiang Xiu, "What do you need?"
"My professor as well as two experts are fatigued due to the traveling in the desert and are severely dehydrated. They need immediate medical attention as well as an IV drip."
Xiao Chu furrowed his brows tightly after hearing this, "Only that much?"
He shouted loudly, "Who's the person in charge of the Medic Station?"
That female officer quickly ran over. The expression on her face changed after seeing the insignia on Xiao Chu's shoulder, "Reporting to the senior official, our medical supplies are low, so we have prioritized treating the soldiers according to the orders of the superiors."
Xiao Chu finally understood that there wasn't much medicine, "When will the re-supply arrive?"
"In around 3 hours."
Xiao Chu turned towards Jiang Xiu, "You heard that, right? Wait for them to arrive."
Jiang Xiu's face turned grim, "Is this how you plan to coordinate?"
"Without an IV drip, oxygen mask and other treatment, the Professor might die in 3 hours."
Xiao Chu replied, "Don't tell your crap to me. Can't you see that our soldiers also lack medicine?"
Jiang Xiu pointed at a wounded soldier, "Although his leg is wounded, the injury is already treated."
"He just got wounded…"
"You can surely take out a portion of the medical supplies to save to extend the Professor's as well as the other 2 people's lives."
Qiu Yinru agreed with him, "Yes, Jiang Xiu's correct."
Xiao Chu retorted, "Are you a doctor? The doctor is her, and since she has arranged it this way, she must have her reasons. Alright, you either wait for 3 hours or manage something yourself."
"I have an important mission, so I don't have the time to play here with you."
He walked out after saying this.
Booom!
A loud sound came from outside the Medic Station. Those in the army were very familiar with this sound, it was the sound of a grenade exploding. Xiao Chu immediately shouted, "EVERYONE LIE DOWN!"
He rushed out to see flames soaring to the skies. The soldiers beside the jeep yelled towards him, "Captain, it's an enemy attack. It should be Meng Du's army."
