This is not a temporary base, and Wang Shui sees many permanent buildings.

When the front advances, it may become a logistics center or an arsenal.

The troops who were resting here were in good spirits, they were reassured by the abundance of supplies, and Wang Shui even saw a few familiar trucks, which were food and drug companies under his command that had contacted the military.

Mastan took Wang Shui directly to a thick three-story building, and when Wang Shui got out of the car and touched the wall of the small building, he was keenly aware that this small building was built with special composite materials, which were not only bomb-resistant, but also very complex in composition.

Without understanding the composition of the material, the alchemist would not be able to disassemble the building.

This is an advanced product from an emerging building materials company, and it took a lot of time for Aqua Aqua Aqua to come up with this formula, and yes, this company is also Aqua.

In the war conference room on the first floor, Wang Shui saw Colonel Magus, a middle-aged man who looked more like a civilian official in size, and a peaceful gaze under small round glasses greeted him very warmly.

"Welcome, Mr. Hill Via, welcome to the Second Brigade, where the President highly recommended your mechanical armor to me, and I had to recruit you here."

"Since I was urgently recruited, it means that time is very short, where are the injured?"

"Don't you need to take a break?"

"It's not too tiring on the road, let me go to work, by the way, this sergeant is not bad, lend me as a deputy."

Wang Shui pointed to Mastan, who was a few positions behind.

"Then thank you very much, let Mastan follow, he also knows alchemy."

Colonel Magus still maintained a peaceful smile, and Wang Shui was also full of smiles, looking very talkative.

On the way to the field hospital with Wang Shui in Mastan, Wang Shui subconsciously began to talk.

"Sergeant, it turns out that you know alchemy, why didn't you break free when I sealed the car door?"

Mastan was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "I don't have time to prepare the corresponding refining array. ”

"You studied alchemy just to do research? It's not a difficult thing to carry around a few commonly used refining arrays, right? ”

Wang Shui very generously took out a large stack of cards and showed them to Mastan, on which were all kinds of refining arrays, and some cards were even painted on both sides.

Mastan looked at the elaborate patterns and words carefully, but did not speak.

"A boring young man who doesn't like to communicate and use his brain, and has been a soldier all his life. Colonel Magus, the prefect of the Academy, is obviously many ranks higher than me, but he is still so polite to me, you know that I am powerful but alienate me, is it just because of that little joke? It's better to have a bigger gas volume. ”

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't alienate you."

"So, I want to learn more about the situation in the war zone from you, can I count it as my request, and I will accidentally run into the enemy-controlled area one day."

“…… Of course. ”

Wang Shui could still feel Mastan's defense.

"Okay, I saw the map in the war room just now, the battle line on it is not particularly tight, and the troops of the Central Army are specially marked, how many senior officers have been sent to the Central City? What brigades are in control? ”

Mastan hesitated, but finally spoke:

"The sixth, seventh, and eighth brigades belong to the Eastern Military District, and the first five are all commanded by officers from the Central City, but most of the soldiers are from the Eastern Military District."

"Colonel Magus is from Central City?" Wang Shui asked suddenly.

“…… Yes. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm from the East." Mastan speaks faster, but less information.

And at this time, the field hospital arrived.

Wang Shui retracted his expression and entered the hospital, and soon saw a large number of wounded under the guidance of Mastan and the guards on duty.

It's just that the person who was shot or hit by shrapnel will not be in this house at all.

In this large ward, which has been isolated from dozens of small areas, at least there are soldiers who are missing arms and legs, and some of them have even injured their torsos.

At the end of the room, there were sterilization boxes, on which was the logo of Wang Shui's mechanical armor company, but no one was installing mechanical armor, many people's wounds had not been treated, and only a small number of military doctors were numbly busy here.

Wang Shui changed his clothes, he changed into a white coat and anti-bacterial protective clothing, disinfected the small suitcase and brought it in together.

The working medic looked up at him, but did not react, still busy with the stitching work at hand.

When Wang Shui was about to ask someone about the situation, a burst of blue light attracted him, and he saw a short middle-aged man, very familiar.

"Marko? Are you here too? ”

The main plot character, who has not yet won the title of national alchemist, is still a doctor who is proficient in alchemy, Wang Shui knows him and has taken the initiative to communicate with him, but Wang Shui remembers that he does not seem to be a specialized surgeon.

"Hill Via! It's great if you can come! Quick, there are twenty-one more, the innermost these! Simply stopping the bleeding will only make the limbs necrotic more, so help deal with their wounds! ”

Marco usually doesn't talk much, and his voice is very gentle, but today he was extremely excited, causing the doctors and nurses present to look at Wang Shui.

"In this case, Colonel Magus actually told me to rest...... Let's stop for a moment, and I'll do a check. ”

There was some helplessness in Wang Ping's calm tone, he walked from the entrance to the inside, while placing the paper card at the head of each wounded person's bed, and after walking to the end of the room, Wang Shui turned around and folded his hands.

Blue light lit up from the card, and harmless blue lightning formed a huge refining array that enveloped all the wounded.

"It's very bad, what is this?! Why is there such a serious secondary injury? Marco! What's up with these new burns and effusions?! ”

“…… High-explosive bomb accidentally injured neutral hospital...... Only a small number of soldiers with good physique survived...... A large number of civilians and doctors......"

Marco stumbled on answers, but none of the other doctors spoke, and the room became cold.

"Accidental injury? Hum. ”

Wang Shui snorted noncommittally, found out the injuries of all the survivors, and immediately launched the Dragon Vein Alchemy, the clear "qi" began to flow again, and under the blood-soaked bandage, the wound began to heal, and even the skin of the burn was recovering.

After maintaining it for five minutes, Wang Shui lifted the refining effect, and the military doctors who had been afraid of disturbing him hurriedly checked the wounded at this time, and untied some hemostatic equipment and life-sustaining equipment to prevent excessive injury.

Marco breathed a sigh of relief, his body staggered a little, and so did the other military doctors and nurses, whose tense spirits in order to save people relaxed a little, and some of them could not even stand anymore.

"The medical staff will rest first, and the physical strength will be responsible for taking care of the seriously injured patients, Sergeant Mastan, you go find a few soldiers with flexible hands and feet and clever brains, let them help take care of the wounded, and take the doctors to rest by the way, now I'll keep an eye on it, Marko, are you still in spirit?" Help me set up the [Neural Connector] and then rest. ”

Marco didn't speak, just sat down in his chair and nodded.

While Mastan went to find someone, and the doctors left one after another, Wang Shui dragged Marco to the next room where he was disinfecting and dispensing the potions.

Marco bowed his head as if waiting for trial.

"The military did it on purpose?"

Silent.

"You tell me, or I'll figure it out myself, it's just a waste of time." Wang Shui's tone was serious.

"That's ...... It was the hospital of the Ishvars, and our people were humanitarianly rescued by them...... That's why it was injured by mistake. ”

Wang Shui was a little surprised by his obvious anger, this was obviously just a fantasy world that had little to do with him, and he had even ended the lives of many people...... But he inevitably developed some special emotions, some emotions based on anger.

Wang Shui thought that he would use this world without hesitation, and he thought that as long as he mastered the knowledge of refining the Philosopher's Stone, the main quest could be done at any time.

"Quiet." Sylvia felt the mood swings of aqua regia,

"Stay calm, it's not bad sympathy, or any kind of hypocrisy, it's just that things hurt like humans, and their situation will make your brain have a similar experience of pain, and make you feel the same way as to avoid war and avoid harm.

Just like many people see bleeding wounds, they will also feel very uncomfortable; When you see a spike or blade close to you, you will subconsciously dodge, and it is just the normal feeling of people who seek advantage and avoid harm.

Your anger is the empathy of the weak, and I think you have had similar injuries in your cultural knowledge system. ”

Wang Shui didn't speak, didn't nod, he just patted Marco on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"Ciel, will someone like me never become a strong man?"

"What kind of people?"

"Not decisive, not cold-blooded, not ...... Play hard. ”

"Maybe. Hah-" Sylvia chuckled suddenly, "If you can become a strong person by lowering your moral bottom line, then a strong person is too cheap." I don't know what you think is a strong person, anyway, I don't think I'm not, if you can live freely, what does it matter if you are strong or not? ”

"You've been getting more and more salty in the last two years...... I'm still not sure, if you want to achieve your goals efficiently, you will inevitably cause damage to others, but if you are too slow to do anything...... I thought I was ready......

Sometimes I really envy the protagonists in the fantasy world, they can wantonly adhere to their own principles, say they don't kill if they don't kill, they say they are simple, and they still maintain their innocence in the face of the real and cruel world...... Or as clean as an idiot, there will always be a plot that will wipe their butts in the end, and things will always try to make sense. ”

"The story needs to be reasonable, reality doesn't need it, you're just a little person in reality, why are you entangled so much, it's hypocritical to say it."

The topic stopped suddenly, Wang Shui did not continue to discuss, Sylvia had long been accustomed to Wang Shui's character, and did not bother to speak.

Whether it is personality, emotion, or three views, they are all limited by a person's knowledge and experience, no one has a perfect character, and if you pursue perfect self-understanding too much, you will only fall into pain - or extreme.

Wang Shui walked around the entire hospital, except for the big ward just now, the injuries of the others were not too serious, and the resistance of the Ishvars was not particularly strong.

At this time, Mastan brought 8 soldiers, Wang Shui saw some familiar faces, but they were just a little familiar, he could remember the group of people in the main plot, but also thanks to the original author's shaping was plump enough, and he didn't remember the people on the edge.

"Mastan, take two of you who are careful and help Marco record the data of the [Neural Connector] in a moment, you try to install some generic prosthetic limbs, and the box of the mechanical armor has instructions for adjusting the length and counterweight. I had to go to Colonel Magus beforehand. ”

After Wang Shui finished explaining his work, he immediately returned to the operations office and found the colonel who was waiting for him there.

"Why, Colonel."

"Well, before answering your question, I would like to ask you a question, what exactly are you after the mirror alchemist, Hill Via?

With a strong alchemy, proficient in mechanical knowledge, after becoming a national alchemist, he just went to the [National Central Library] to study, he didn't care about the salary, he had no friends and no family, he has been traveling all over the country, but obviously he is not just looking at the scenery, Syl Via, don't you have a desire? ”

"Why do I have to have it? You're spying on me! Wang Shui acted in surprise and then quickly returned to calm.

"Why not? Money, power, enjoyment, people will always have their own desires. ”

Nonsense, I have it all, can you give it to me for nothing? Wang Shui didn't expect the people in the military to be so direct, and now that he is tense, he may have to take another line.

"If I want to say that, knowledge, probably is my pursuit, I long for more knowledge, I long for more powerful alchemy, I want to get great power."

"Oh? Alchemy? ”

Yes, yes, don't talk nonsense, recruit me, can you skip the conversation.

"Then you, are you interested in the Philosopher's Stone?"

"The legendary things are just superficial, the literature is very superficial, and the text just keeps repeating that the Philosopher's Stone does not need to follow the principle of equivalent exchange, but no one has really obtained and verified it."

wanted to skip the dialogue, but Wang Shui still patiently said the lines he should say.

Colonel Magus suddenly turned around, smiled grimly and meaningfully, and said:

"If you could get the legendary Philosopher's Stone, what would you pay for?"

Wang Shui performed extremely vividly what it means to be shocked and then quickly returned to his composure, he showed a keen intuition, and asked:

"Does this have anything to do with your attack on the hospital?"

He was answered by the colonel's smug smile, and then Wang Shui saw his main quest item, the red hedron like fresh blood.

Colonel Magus took out a Philosopher's Stone from his pocket with a flat expression, and without making a move, a red flash flew across the room.

The wooden floor quickly peeled away and weaved into a cage like vines, and the massive wooden structure gradually grew into steel, trapping aqua regia inside.

"I'm just a crappy alchemist at the apprentice level, but I can easily trap you now, how about it, Mirror Alchemist, would you like to consider joining us?"

"You guys? What are you? Wang Shui showed a hint of movement, which was caught by Colonel Magus.

"We are the military."

"Am I not from the military?" Wang Shui asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, but it looks like you're going to be there right away."
