"I oppose agreeing to their conditions! The reinforcements sent from the country have already arrived, and they will soon start the rescue. At this moment, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. We just need to hold our ground here and wait for the rescue troops to come, then we’ll be out of danger. There’s absolutely no need to create more issues." One member of the rescue team was the first to voice opposition to the negotiation terms proposed by the rioters.

Even though they were trapped, their communication with the outside world was not cut off, so they received the news of the reinforcements’ arrival immediately.

In such a situation, it’s completely understandable not to want to treat patients, to avoid putting themselves in trouble.

After all, according to the information provided by the reinforcements, they will come to the rescue within a few hours at most. If they treat patients now, it won’t be possible to complete the treatment within a few hours.

When the rescue troops arrive, whether the patients are taken away or stay, it will cause significant trouble for the rescue efforts.

Ultimately, these people are doctors. Not treating patients can be explained as a lack of favorable conditions, but if they admit patients, due to doctors’ professional ethics, they can’t abandon them without care.

"Although they are Lucian people, we also advise against treating them." Since there were also Lucian medical staff trapped here, this was their own ground, and they naturally participated in the discussion, though their opinion was clearly opposite to the Flame Country’s direction of discussion: "We can’t guarantee that the patients and wounded they send in are harmless. What if this is a ploy by the rioters to get us to open our defenses?

Moreover, we are merely a research institution and don’t have the capacity to admit a large number of patients.

The ancient virus spreading this time is highly infectious; treating patients requires specialized negative pressure isolation wards, and the treatment also needs specialized medical equipment—these are things we don’t have."

What the Lucian people said is true; the main function of a research institution is scientific research, not patient treatment. It’s quite normal that they don’t have the capability to admit patients.

However, some people expressed disagreement with this.

"I just looked closely; many of the injured are women and children, supposedly innocent victims hurt in the riot. I think we can at least treat their wounds. As for patients..." The speaker was Hu Jie, who still hoped to fulfill her duties as a doctor.

While the negotiator sent by the rioters was speaking with them at the door, Hu Jie looked outside and noticed indeed many of the injured were women and children, which undoubtedly stirred her sympathy.

"I am not opposed to helping the injured, but we lack medical supplies here. Even if we want to help, we don’t even have enough bandages and disinfectant. How can we help them?" The Lucian side apparently still held basic sympathy for their compatriots, but they truly lacked the capability.

Regarding this issue, Hu Jie looked towards the leader from Flame Country.

Noticing Hu Jie’s gaze, the leader hesitated, then spoke: "We have a Repair Device, which can treat human injuries. Although it cannot treat diseases, it has excellent effects on external or internal injuries."

The Repair Device, along with the Three-Record Device, was handed to the rescue team by Chen Xin. After arriving in Lucia, they separated the equipment into two sets: one stayed on the Ark for treating infected crew on the Dog Unit and admitting patients, while the other was brought down with them.

However, although the Human Body Repair Device is very effective in treating human injuries, it has no significant effect on virus infections.

Or, it can only resist the virus by continuously repairing the damage inflicted on the infected person’s body, but it cannot cure, which is why the rescue team did not bring out the Repair Device to treat patients.

"Is there really such a thing? The technology of Flame Country is truly incredible!" The Lucian people obviously didn’t expect the Flame Country to have such hidden cutting-edge technology.

"I still maintain my opposition; the risks are too great!" Even now that there are means of treatment, and everyone, after discussion, felt helping the injured was acceptable, some still remained opposed.

Considering the situation, Hu Jie thought for a moment and said, "We can ask the other side to send only women and children in for treatment and limit the number, saying that we cannot accept too many injured persons at once, have them come in batches, and inspect those entering to ensure they carry no weapons. This can minimize the danger."

"That is indeed a method. If we treat the injured in batches, even if someone has malicious intent, we can deal with it." After the rescue team leader and the Lucian representative discussed Hu Jie’s suggestion, they thought it was a feasible plan.

Finally, after a round of discussions, they agreed to treat the women and children among the rioters, but only allowing a controllable number to enter the medical research institution each time without carrying weapons.

The conclusion was relayed to the negotiator sent by the rioters. After discussing it with some others, they also agreed to the conditions and sent the first group of injured persons.

Watching as children and women with bleeding heads were brought in after being checked and confirmed weapon-free, the medical staff at the medical research institution couldn’t help but feel compassion.

Although the rioters were hateful, the women and children seemed very innocent in this riot.

Even if they might have participated in the riot and aren’t wholly innocent, seeing the injured children, no one could remain indifferent.

Using the limited medical supplies at hand, they cleaned and treated the wounds of these injured persons, while comforting them. The members of the Flame Country’s rescue team also brought out the Repair Device, placed it on the injured, and started the device to repair their wounds.

This equipment, created by Chen Mo, is undeniably cutting-edge technology. Once the device was started, the wounds on the injured began to stop bleeding and scab over at a visible pace; most minor injuries nearly healed directly after treatment, and even more serious injuries were effectively treated.

Very soon, the injuries of the first group of wounded were basically addressed.

Hu Jie escorted the treated injured persons out of the medical research institution, and noticed that the negotiator from the rioters stood at the door the whole time. His gaze towards the injured reflected genuine concern. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Thank you for being willing to help these people. I’ll arrange for someone to bring you food and water." The negotiator noticed Hu Jie’s gaze and gave her a friendly smile.
