The construction site of the Grand Canal has become a battlefield, and the Grand Canyon has also become a bloody alley, and the casualties on both sides of the first battle exceeded 30,000, and a large number of wounded needed to be treated, which caused great pressure on the logistics of both sides.

This is especially true in the Metropolis.

The Metropolis was originally out of a strategy of "going out" to survive, and now that a large number of wounded people have returned to the metropolitan's already fragmented medical system, the Supreme Medical Research Society has issued a proposal for all the citizens of the metropolis: citizens, they are your family, they are fighting for you, please take care of them.

Directly the pressure was forcibly shifted to the people.

After Fort Town was forced to receive the wounded, the Grand Board issued a percentage of the number of people who would treat the wounded to all members of the Community and Safety Island Project, which was rated at six hundred.

Of course, this kind of "chaotic" fortress town is ignored, not to mention that since Coconut died in the attack, fortress town has cut off almost all ties with the metropolis - except for economic exchanges. But even if the fortress town was tough, it was useless, the Metropolitan militia transport team adopted a method of transportation that bordered on hooligans, they just left the wounded in the same position as they had abandoned last time, and according to the tradition of the fortress town, they could not watch the wounded die like this.

In desperation, Irina established a Green Leaf organization on the eastern border to house the wounded, costing the fortress a lot of resources.

It would be fine if it was only to treat the wounded, but the treatment of the wounded has caused a series of secondary problems, the first of which is hospice care.

The humans on Eden are all descendants of human immigrants, and the ancestors have been injected with mutated genes, although after several generations of genetic self-repair, the vast majority of people's genes will no longer mutate, but this mutation ratio still exists, about six thousandths.

So in peace, anyone who is going to die normally will receive hospice care, and if there is a near-death mutation, they will also have to be well cared for, so that they can be resurrected without harming others.

But on the battlefield, this kind of hospice care is difficult to achieve, and during the first and second battles, the troops responsible for cleaning the battlefield and the guerrillas who came to fight the autumn wind have fought against the resurrected mutants.

As for the wounded, there have been cases where tragedies have occurred due to poor medical treatment and lack of proper end-of-life care at the time of death.

Fort Town was also unlucky, as two mutations occurred among the first dead wounded, one was a zombie, who nourished himself by devouring corpses and other wounded before meeting the patrol, and then attacked the patrol. The patrol shot him more than a hundred times before killing him.

Another mutation is weird, the corpse has undergone a transformation from human to fungal. The fungus that grows on the corpse inherits the thoughts and memories of the deceased, and then lives by decomposing other corpses, and when he is found to report Irina, he has grown into a large mushroom more than three meters tall! At the top of the mushroom is a human face, which also speaks. Because he decomposed the corpses of dozens of people, allowing him to inherit the memories of these people, he grew into a story king and singer.

However, he is not a simple entertainment star, his roots will secrete corrosive slime, once attracted by his singing, it will be captured and digested by the slime, the flesh will become nutrients, and the memories will be used by him.

Fortunately, Irina found it early and isolated it in time, so that there was no tragedy.

However, the wise Irina eventually turned this into a good thing, and she asked Sangmin to build a small theater centered on the Mushroom King, the kind with a protective fence, and the business was prosperous, and the income was enough for the Mushroom King to buy enough fertilizer and meat for him to enjoy.

Soon, the Green Leaf Branch in the eastern part of the fortress town treated more than 1,000 wounded, and among these people, there were also those who planned to return to the battlefield, but the militiamen who recovered from the wounded each received a bill with a separate record of "rescue expenses, treatment expenses, rehabilitation expenses, food expenses, accommodation expenses, miscellaneous expenses, etc." "Although it is not a sky-high price for black hearts, even if it is reimbursed, most of these militiamen cannot afford it.

It didn't matter if the militia couldn't afford it, the town of Fort asked the officers who came to recruit to recover from the wounded and sick to pay, and at first a few guys with short brains paid the bill and took the people away, but then no one did it, because the militia of the metropolis came easily, as soon as there was an earthquake and the water level rose, there were a lot of people and resources to ask to join the militia - after all, the militia provided free food and shelter.

As for the militia who couldn't pay, the big fortress also had a way of coping with it - the Shangmin expanded the concentration camps and sent them all to forced labor.

However, there are those who have succeeded in collecting debts, but it is generally not long before these people will come back in a low breath and ask to go to the concentration camp to work, and now it is not easy to have a safe place to sleep and a place to eat without worry.

At least a few of them went back to join the militia with their ideals, but almost all of them were killed in the next battle, after all, the god of luck rarely falls on the head of the same person twice.

The metropolis made actuary calculations after the defeat of the first battle - after all, they were all businessmen, and they felt that it was not possible to fight like this, and even if they won the victory, they would eventually exhaust all their manpower, so they adjusted their strategy to facilitate the continuation of the construction of the Grand Canal, and on the other hand, it was convenient to take the route of elite troops, and at the same time, they had to give full play to their advantages in manpower, and at the same time they had to train and hire elite troops to attack the transportation line of the Yunmeng army from both wings.

The strategy was successful, and continuing construction would win the goodwill of the city-states - look, we didn't want to fight, we really just wanted to reduce the disaster.

The Yunmeng Army is inferior in numbers, and if it wants to gain an advantage on the battlefield, it must give full play to its firepower superiority, and firepower superiority requires an efficient logistics and transportation system to maintain.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of the transportation line, the Yunmengjun reorganized the newly formed Third Brigade into a transportation unit and undertook the task of escorting the transportation of the people's movement.

This adjustment has come at a huge cost, and the grassroots infantry detachments of the two brigades on the front line have been in a state of dissatisfaction for a long time, and some even have only a small half of the strength left, and even if the joint command reduces all the organ logistics personnel to support the front-line detachments, this problem cannot be solved.

As a result, the Yunmeng Army almost lost the ability to take the initiative to launch a campaign offensive.

And the lost fighter will be used by the other side.

Half a month later, the Metropolitan militia received a batch of real mortars and machine guns, and launched a second campaign with this as capital.

At the beginning of the campaign, the Metropolitan Militia changed the previous crowd offensive to the offensive strategy of small groups and multiple firepower escorts, although the combat results were average, but in terms of firepower was basically the same as that of the Yunmeng Army, which wanted to save ammunition. On the fourth day of the battle, the Metropolitan Militia completed the encirclement of two brigades and one joint operations command of the Yunmeng Army, and the transport brigade on the periphery became the only savior of the Yunmeng Army.

The battle entered the middle of the battle, the metropolitan militia launched a ferocious offensive, and the Yunmeng army also broke out with a tenacious will to survive in order to survive, and took out the last ammunition reserves for the fire wall defense, and at the same time, the Yunmeng city-state once again mobilized all the transport airships to throw the reserves and ammunition into the encirclement.

At the same time, the Grand Board of Directors also called on all the metropolitan nobles and companies to donate their airships to support the front line, so there was another airship war, because both sides were basically civilian airships, and they didn't even have time to add weapons, so they could only carry out battles such as platoon guns and even gang jumping with small arms.

Interestingly, the Metropolis's improvised airship units were far less combat-ready than the militias fighting on the ground, and the casualties from several firefights made them unable to avoid the ensuing air battles, and they were soon reduced to a second-line force for logistics transportation and high-altitude reconnaissance.

On the contrary, the airship troops of the Yunmeng Army grew up in battle, they occupied the sky of the battlefield, and in the later stage, they even directly threw **** with manpower to support the ground troops.

On the seventh day of the battle, the Yunmeng army survived the most difficult moment, the troops of the transport brigade concentrated the strength of four battalions, launched an attack, tore through the encirclement of the metropolitan militia, and brought continued reserves and ammunition to the two brigades in the encirclement, and at the same time, the transport team organized by the civil organization of the Yunmeng city-state continuously sent ammunition and supplies to the front line, and at the same time sent the wounded and prisoners to the rear.

The army and people of Yunmeng City-State have grown up in the battle, and their combat power has skyrocketed. The corresponding Metropolitan Militia suffered another defeat, but due to the heavy losses of the Yunmeng Army, only a fire attack and pursuit were carried out, allowing the Metropolitan Militia to compete

The retreat was organized in an orderly manner, and the treatment of the wounded was significantly stronger than in the first battle, and the number of militiamen killed in this battle was only more than 8,000, and the total number of casualties was less than in the previous battle. So at the battle summary meeting, the big director announced that the battle had achieved the expected results, effectively eliminating the living force of the Yunmeng army, and the day of the destruction of the Yunmeng army was not far away.

But insiders all know that although the number of casualties this time is less than that of the first battle, the experienced core elite infantry killed accounted for a large proportion, and in order to prevent the second battle, a large number of elite sabotage troops with combat experience were recalled to form an encirclement, and as a result, they suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Yunmeng Transport Brigade.

The outbreak of the second battle made Fort Town, especially Irina, fall into a nightmare.

Another wounded were sent one after another, and Irina was busy, even if she was a Naga, her energy was far beyond ordinary people, and she was a little unbearable at this time, after all, the medical resources of Fort Town were limited, and the militia also found that the wounded who were sent to Fort Town could be better cared for than in other places, so they all desperately wanted to come to Fort Town.

In addition to emergency treatment, there is also hospice care.

Irina dealt with another mutant, this guy gained the ability to "suck", due to the suddenness of the attack, the three wounded in the same room, plus a temporary volunteer nurse, were all mummified by this guy. That's not all, this guy is still powerful, and Irina wasted a lot of effort to subdue him and give him an anesthetic injection.

But just when Irina was relieved, the guy suddenly woke up again, and used the technique of naked choke to lock her neck.

Bare choke as a fighting technique is incomprehensible, but if it were normal, Irina would hold her breath and break a few of his ribs first, but recently Irina is really tired, and her strength and reflection judgment are not as good as usual, plus this guy has used the special ability to inhale **, shouting that Irina will not let go of her ears, and Irina will be paralyzed when she sees it.

"Am I going to die?" Irina felt the pain of capsizing in the ditch, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

But she didn't die after all, but her ears were almost deafening, and her brain was buzzing. Because Ke Junxia used a double-barreled *** called a carriage gun, he fired at the middle of the mutant's eyes with two barrels at the same time.
