Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Battlefield

So that Si Xu would be in the best possible condition to concoct the medicine, Jiang Qin offered to perform a soothing for him.

That was why, at the moment, only the two of them were inside Soothing Room 6.

Si Xu surveyed his surroundings with great interest, praising, “Miss Jiang, you’re clearly someone who enjoys life. Even your soothing room is decorated so cozily.”

Most female soothing masters’ rooms were spartan, containing only the sofa they sat on and the table they used.

The warriors who came for soothing could usually only stand or sit on the floor.

Even then, they worried their grimy bodies would dirty the room.

So every time they scheduled a soothing, they would make a point to shower, change into clean clothes, get a haircut, and shave their beards.

Despite all that, they were usually met with disdain in the end.

A slight smile touched Jiang Qin’s lips. “Life is meant to be enjoyed.”

She preferred a clean and cozy environment, so she had taken great care in decorating her workspace.

Besides, such an atmosphere was also conducive to soothing.

“Mr. Si, please lie down on the sofa and put on the Holographic Helmet.”

Si Xu noticed the disposable, sterilized medical pad that had been placed on the sofa, a gesture that made him appreciate Jiang Qin’s thoughtfulness even more.

’No wonder so many people like her.’

’A female who is so considerate of others’ feelings, who can really put herself in their shoes, is truly rare.’

…

Upon entering the Star Network, Si Xu found himself in a grassy meadow.

Wildflowers bloomed nearby, and dandelion seeds danced in the air.

The sunlight was bright but not scorching.

A gentle breeze drifted under the blue sky and white clouds.

He lay on the grass and closed his eyes. A soft, cheerful melody filled his ears.

“If you have too many complaints about this world

If you fall and are too scared to go on

Why must people be so fragile, so broken

…”

In the background, the chirping of insects and the babbling of a brook mingled, soft and beautiful.

A sweet, clear voice, a gentle melody, beautiful lyrics…

It was the perfect recipe for a sweet dream.

***

When he opened his eyes again, Si Xu felt as if he had just awoken from a beautiful dream.

Not only had his spirit been soothed, but he felt as if his very soul had been cleansed.

The Calming Power of an S-level female truly lived up to its reputation.

’What a shame. Who knows when I’ll get another chance for an appointment.’

“Thank you for the soothing, Miss Jiang. I’ll head back to my workshop to concoct the medicine now. I’ll do my best to get it done so you can go home early.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Si.”

Si Xu just smiled and left without another word.

Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan were waiting at the door of the soothing room to escort Jiang Qin back to her temporary quarters to rest.

…

For the first half of the night, the camp was quiet.

Aside from the warriors on patrol, no one else was out and about.

However, at three in the morning, the camp’s alarms suddenly began to blare!!

A deafening wail echoed throughout the entire encampment.

“Assemble now! Alien Beasts are staging a night raid!”

“Alien Beasts have been spotted inside the camp! All soothing masters are to remain with your partners and do not move about. Wait for the warriors to clear the camp.”

“Squads 1, 2, 3, and 4, form up immediately! Advance to the front lines and engage the enemy!”

“Tenth Squad will be responsible for transporting the wounded. All medical personnel, stand by!”

After the announcements ended, the entire regiment’s camp burst into a flurry of activity.

All the warriors geared up with maximum speed, fell into formation, and advanced toward the front lines.

Not a single word was exchanged between them, only the sound of their swift, determined footsteps echoing through the camp.

The atmosphere was extraordinarily heavy.

Some of the females began to grow frightened.

“Is the front line about to fall? Can they send us back to the Federation first? I don’t want to die.”

“I don’t want to die either. If I didn’t owe a debt to the government, I never would have come to the front lines to be a soothing master.”

“Everyone, don’t panic! Our Federation’s warriors are no pushovers. We have to believe they can hold the front!”

An older female stepped forward and said, “My dears, the fact that we came here proves that we have passion in our hearts and a sense of duty!”

“Right now, the males on the front lines need us most. We should do everything in our power to help them and prove that we females are not cowards who cling to life and fear death!”

“So, who is willing to follow me to the front lines to perform Spiritual Soothing for those young ones who are fighting for their lives to protect our home?”

The females exchanged uncertain glances.

Soon, one by one, some began to stand up.

They were mostly females who had volunteered to support the front lines, not the ones serving out criminal sentences.

“Both of my partners are risking life and limb on the battlefield right now. I want to go help them.”

“My brothers are all warriors. My father and my uncles were once warriors, too.

So I want to help the warriors, just as I hope a soothing master is there to help my own family.”

“I may be a female, but I’ve always wanted to be a warrior. My health isn’t good enough, though, so I could only become a soothing master.

But I believe that even soothing masters can go to the battlefield and be heroes!”

It had to be said, these females were incredibly brave.

The cannon fire ahead illuminated most of the night sky.

They didn’t even have to get close to imagine how intense the battlefield was.

Flying Alien Beasts broke through the lines and were attempting to attack the camp.

Warriors, piloting their Mechas, battled these aerial behemoths in the sky.

The patrol teams within the camp didn’t dare to let their guard down, terrified that Alien Beasts with abilities like invisibility or shapeshifting might have snuck in.

They had, in fact, just killed several.

While Alien Beasts with such abilities were generally not very large and were easy to handle, to the females, they were nothing short of monsters.

All the soothing masters’ partners stood guard vigilantly beside their own females.

However, not everyone’s partner was an S-level or SS-level male.

The majority were B-level and A-level males.

It was all too easy for their defenses to be breached while trying to protect their females in a place like this.

Fortunately, many warriors had remained in the camp to help guard the females.

…

Several older females, leading a group of younger ones, moved toward the battlefield.

Watching the sky filled with Alien Beasts and the occasional severed limb of a Beastman falling to the ground, Jiang Qin was reminded of the beast tide.

In the end, she followed them.

Lan Yuyan frowned, his lips moving as if to say something, but no words came out.

Yun Xie, on the other hand, merely narrowed his eyes, staying close to Jiang Qin’s side like a predator coiled and ready to strike.

The battlefield itself was, as expected, even more brutal.

These Alien Beasts were utterly ferocious. Each one possessed different abilities, but none had any semblance of reason.

They had no fear of death or injury; their only impulse was to devour humans and charge forward!

The Beastmen, meanwhile, had to endure their constantly rising Riot Values while in their beast forms, making it impossible for them to fight as wantonly as their foes.

Furthermore, while the beasts were mindless and fearless, the Beastmen were keenly aware that they only had one life to live.

Thus, they couldn’t resort to reckless tactics that would cost them eight hundred to injure the enemy by a thousand.
