I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 91

Keiko hurriedly pulled out the drip needle from the back of his hand and rushed toward her.

Leah, who was behind her, was startled and called her name out in reflex, “Keiko!? Where are you going?”

However, Keiko had already rushed out all the way.

The soldiers on the side were surprised and quickly asked:

“Doctor, did you say “Keiko” just now?”

Leah was perplexed and said, “Yeah.”

“Is that person right now Second Lieutenant Keiko Lee from Einherjar Brigade’s third squadron who was fighting against the swarm tide alone at the city gate a few days ago?” The young soldier blabbered, looking very excited.

Leah, in her confusion, absentmindedly nodded, confirming the young soldier’s guess.

“That’s The Death Reaper in flesh! The real deal!”

“I don’t expect the death reaper to be in this hospital. We are so lucky!”

“I heard that she killed more than 100 monsters alone, even without a mecha! Damn! Is that even possible? So unreal…”

“Heh, what do you know? That’s not surprising. Listen to me, the story didn’t end there! She even killed an A-rank monster without breaking a sweat after getting in her mecha! You know, the A-rank, right? A-rank!”

Dr. Leah’s mouth raised her eyebrows while her mouth twitched unconsciously when she heard the story getting more and more exaggerated.

“Yes, that’s true,” a soldier sagely nodded and said in a solemn tone, “I also heard that the drawbridge collapsed because it was accidentally hit by her punch! Terrifying!”

Another soldier jumped in, not wanting to lose, “My friend that happened to be on duty on the wall that day swore to me that she saw some zergs and predators pissed their pants, no, no, they don’t have pants, um… shed tears and cried like a baby when Death Reaper’s mecha turned its head on them!”

“Damn, that’s my idol for ya!”

“This time she has made great contributions at the gate of the city, and I won’t be surprised if she gets another promotion after this.”

Several soldiers gathered around, gossiping. Together, they exclaimed with excitement, while their attention was focused on Keiko in the distance.

Their conversation was overheard by some deviants, and they began whispering to each other, as if they were talking about Keiko.

Leah wore a weird expression on her face and murmured to herself, “Why do I feel like things are heading in a strange direction?”

At that moment, Keiko, who wasn’t aware that she had become the new sensation in the city, was rushing to Sarah and Diana’s side. Without a word, she picked up Sarah, who could barely walk, and carried her on her back while Diana followed from behind.

Seeing the familiar figure of her saviour, tears instantly wet Diana’s eyes. Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t say anything. Although she had misgivings about Keiko in the past, any of her hostility had been cleared because of Keiko’s kindness this time.

Keiko returned to the hospital’s entrance, seated Sarah on a stone bench, then turned her head at Diana, asking her, “What happened to your mother?”

“There were many zergs that wanted to eat us. Mom protected me as we escaped, but… but she was stabbed on the side by a monster…”

Her sobs turned louder, and her haggard little face became wet and messy. She explained honestly, without omitting anything to Keiko, fully relying on Keiko.

Keiko lifted the corner of Sarah’s clothes and saw a fresh gaping wound on her side.

Sarah seemed to feel excruciating pain from it as her forehead started sweating profusely, repeatedly gasping for air, and her face turned sickly pale.

She should’ve fallen unconscious a long time ago if it wasn’t for her concern about Diana.

Keiko decisively tore a piece of cloth from Sarah’s worn trousers, then divided it in half and stuffed it into Diana’s hands while giving her instructions.

“Use these two pieces of cloth to block your mother’s wounds or she will bleed to death.”

“Yes…Yes…” Diana completely and unconditionally believed in Keiko, and hurriedly followed her instructions.

Keiko raised his blood-stained hand, beckoned to Leah, led her aside, and said softly.

“The law states that doctors are not allowed to treat deviants. What exactly does the law say? Could you recite it to me word for word?”

Leah was taken back by Keiko’s request and vaguely understood what she was trying to do. She asked Keiko anxiously, “Keiko, are you planning to save those people?”

Keiko quickly nodded and admitted that was the case.

“Keiko, you have gone crazy! You’ll be in deep trouble if you do this!”

Leah tried to talk some sense to Keiko, but to no avail.

“So many lives can be saved, so what if I get into some trouble because of it? I even survived a swarm tide. As long as it’s not violating my principal and conscience, there’s nothing I can’t, won’t, or am afraid to do.”

“If I don’t die, I have no fear in the future,” Keiko still remembered her cry at the city gate at that time.

“You… you’re just…” Leah was completely speechless. She just thought Keiko was crazy.

“Just tell me, is there any loophole that can be used?” Keiko urged.

Leah took a deep breath, raised her hand, and stroked her long silver hair before slowly reciting the said law.

“Article 113 of the Mutated Persons Handling Act under the Criminal Code, any physician with a federal physician qualification shall not, under any circumstances, directly or indirectly assist the deviant in any way. Anyone who violates this law shall be disqualified as a physician, and depending on the severity of the case, the violator will be imprisoned for at least a five-year period, and at the longest, a ten-year period. In addition, all the properties under the violators’ names will be confiscated by the government. ”

“Any physician qualified as a federal physician? So, there are illegal doctors who can treat deviants? ”

“Yes,” Leah nodded. “It is indeed true that there are some illegal doctors who treat deviants, and most of them are deviants themselves. Otherwise, the deviants would not survive until today.”

“Is it illegal for soldiers to rescue civilians on the battlefield?”

“Ah? Of course, it’s not against the law.”

“Is it illegal for soldiers to rescue deviants on the battlefield?”

“It’s not… There is no law that states clearly this matter, but… soldiers can’t have anything to do with deviants, otherwise they would be investigated, and in serious cases, they would be charged with military violation. You…”

Keiko raised his hand to interrupt her, “That’s easy. I know first aid, and I know how to sew, bandage, and give an injection. I also know how to set bones. I just need medicine. Do me a favour and go to the pharmacy to prescribe medicine in my name. I’ll handle the rest.”

“Keiko! Do you really want to do this?”

“I’m not a doctor, so I can save them without breaking the law, hehe.” Keiko smiled at Leah, revealing her neat and white teeth.

Leah was moved, only to feel that at this moment, this person in front of her seemed to be exuding the aura of a saint, which was extremely charming.

“Okay, I’ll help you.”
