Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 992: Chapter 903: Defending Our Rivers and Mountains 33

When Kou Shuangshuang came in, her face didn’t look good. She was still worried about the other side of the clinic and was quite annoyed about being called by Ming Qibo to waste time. Besides, Kou Shuangshuang had a rough idea why Ming Qibo called her over. It was nothing but the prisoners she had killed, and this guess made her even more displeased.

She walked straight up to Ming Qibo, angrily saying, ”What does the commander need me for? If it’s about those prisoners, please spare your words. I won’t admit any fault. Furthermore, my time is tight. Do you know what could happen if a patient’s wounds worsen while I’m called over by you?

I don’t have time to tangle with these nonsense issues right now. If you’re really upset about me killing prisoners, I can leave immediately after the combat ends. If you want to punish me right now, it’s unnecessary. I’m not your soldier; I’m just here for medical support, and you can’t supervise me.”

During this period, Kou Shuangshuang witnessed firsthand the land belonging to her country being taken over and wantonly destroyed, and the brutal treatment of ordinary people, not even sparing the elderly and children. Some villages were completely slaughtered, leaving no survivors!

Even more cruel, there was a village where not only were all the adults killed, but all the infants in their swaddling clothes were strung up like candied hawthorns and hung high up! Such a cruel scene made many people furious, feeling that they couldn’t kill these beasts fast enough, wishing they could eradicate all these enemy soldiers. Because of this, Kou Shuangshuang was fed up with the policy of granting prisoners special treatment.

On top of everything, she was too busy treating injured soldiers to even find time to eat, yet she was still called over to waste time listening to some ideological education class. This led her to vent her frustrations on Ming Qibo, looking at him displeasingly and speaking sharply without restraint.

Ming Qibo wasn’t angry; instead, he raised his eyebrows and said with a half smile, ”They say Dr. Kou has a gentle personality, is patient and caring with her patients, and diligently guides the doctors and nurses new to the battlefield, never losing her temper. If people knew about your fiery temper, they’d probably be shocked.”

If under normal circumstances, with Ming Qibo’s good-natured demeanor, Kou Shuangshuang might have felt embarrassed about her conduct and then patiently engaged with him.

However, with such an exhausting workload that even sleeping and eating was considered a luxury, paired with worrying about the seriously injured soldiers, all of Kou Shuangshuang’s patience had been worn out. Her patience had been entirely spent on the wounded soldiers, and she just wanted to hurry back to the clinic. She lacked the patience to listen to any irrelevant words from Ming Qibo.

Thus, she completely disregarded decorum and impatiently said to Ming Qibo, ”What exactly does the commander want to say? Can you hurry up? My patients are lying in bed waiting for me. You have the leisure to chat with me slowly here, but I don’t have the time to waste with you.”

Ming Qibo was momentarily choked by Kou Shuangshuang’s fiery temper and was at a loss for words. Seeing her furrowed brows and anticipating stormy irritation, Ming Qibo was afraid to truly enrage Kou Shuangshuang. Knowing how skilled a doctor she was, who could save countless lives, he feared that if she left in anger, it would be a major loss for him.

A bit embarrassed, he touched his nose and sighed, ”I just wanted to tell you that the medical equipment you urged for last time has arrived. Regarding the prisoners, they are still on the battlefield and don’t count as prisoners. Let’s put this matter behind. You shouldn’t act so impulsively next time. I’ve already had the medical equipment sent to the clinic; you may go back to oversee the assembly later.”

Actually, Ming Qibo originally intended to discuss the prisoner issue, although he was handling it. To prevent Kou Shuangshuang from constantly impulsively killing enemy wounded soldiers on the battlefield, he needed to address the issue. Seeing Kou Shuangshuang’s clearly poor mood, however, Ming Qibo decided to hold back the words.

Frankly, Ming Qibo himself also loathed these robbers. If he weren’t the commander, he might make the same choice as Kou Shuangshuang. Moreover, Kou Shuangshuang has her principles and wouldn’t go ahead to kill prisoners unless absolutely necessary.

Feeling better now that she saw Ming Qibo hadn’t brought up the prisoner issue, Kou Shuangshuang’s mood improved significantly. The more she witnessed the aftermath of invasion, the less she could talk about humanitarian spirit towards those worse than beasts. In her eyes, those things weren’t human, but rather garbage worse than animals.

Once she calmed down, Kou Shuangshuang briefly discussed the situation of the wounded with Ming Qibo, including reporting the number of injured and estimated medication requirements. Then she returned to the clinic to check the new medical equipment and continued to care for the wounded.

Continuously busy for over ten days, most of the wounded sent to the clinic had long recovered, even most of the critically ill had survived, with only a few fatalities—an unprecedentedly low death count after battle.

Everyone was extremely pleased with this, having been tense for so many days. With such good news, everyone could finally relax, no longer worrying about any deaths.

Once allowed to relax, fatigue naturally came rushing in. Since everyone could rotate and rest, they unanimously decided that during rest time, they would catch up on sleep. Even Kou Shuangshuang, who was due for rest, was so exhausted she decided to go to bed early on her rest day, as it had been ages since she got a good sleep.

Yet, the night Kou Shuangshuang intended to sleep well, she heard some unusual sounds outside in the middle of the night. The sounds were very faint, but they made Kou Shuangshuang perk up and immediately wake up.

During the marching, one would never take off their clothes, so Kou Shuangshuang was properly dressed. As soon as she awoke, she swiftly rolled out of bed and left the tent silently.

Under the moonlight, Kou Shuangshuang hid in the shadows and stealthily followed the direction of the sounds. Sure enough, she found a line of well-equipped enemies invading the camp at one corner of the clinic. There seemed to be quite a few, nearly a hundred people, each carrying the latest gear.

With so many people moving without a sound, they were clearly highly trained elite soldiers. This reminded Kou Shuangshuang of the Sharp Blade Team, which was an enemy trained to constantly put her side at a disadvantage.

It seemed they had delivered themselves right to her door. Kou Shuangshuang’s lips curled into a playful smile as she bent down to pick up a handful of stones and quietly followed the team from behind.
