After lunch, Lu Zexuan returned to the dormitory and gave Yu Ran the detailed information of the Falcon Special Forces. Yu Ran opened the optical computer and read it carefully. The information included the time when each member joined the special forces, as well as their family background, study experience...
The Dark Night Organization started its activities 5 years ago, and Lu Zexuan became the captain of the Falcon Special Forces 5 years ago. But this does not mean that the Dark Night Organization sent people to lurk in the Falcon Special Forces that year. It is very likely that the undercover has been lurking for a longer time.
Moore, who has served in the special forces for eight years, and Xiong Kai, who has been the deputy captain for seven years, are the two with the longest seniority. Most of the other sentinels joined the special forces during these five years.
Yu Ran used his super memory to memorize all the information and put it into his mental picture so that he could check it at any time.
After reading the information, Yu Ran put down the laptop and asked Lu Zexuan, "Captain Lu, there are no missions in the next few days. I'm free anyway. Do you want to go check on those frenzied sentinels? Maybe I can help."
Lu Zexuan frowned: "You have no experience in treating berserk sentinels. I'm afraid you will be attacked..."
Yu Ran smiled and said, "It's because I have no experience that I need to learn early! Otherwise, when I'm on a mission in the future, if my teammates need emergency treatment, I won't know how to do it... Wouldn't that delay it?"
Lu Zexuan met his serious eyes and was unable to refute for a moment.
Yu Ran is right. For a military guide doctor, it is not important whether he has learned theoretical knowledge well or not. The key is practical experience.
Each sentinel has a different mental picture and a different degree of frenzy, so the treatment methods used are of course different. Moore has accumulated rich experience in long-term practice, so he can quickly sort out the mental pictures of his teammates and keep them calm.
It is much easier to treat the Sentinels imprisoned underground in the White Tower than to treat the Sentinels who suddenly go berserk and out of control while on a mission in the harsh wild environment.
I can't stop him from contacting those dangerous patients just because I'm worried about him. Such worry is a constraint for Yu Ran. Only by letting him grow up slowly and become stronger can he adapt to the intensity of the Falcon Special Forces' missions, stand shoulder to shoulder with me, and become an excellent guide.
Lu Zexuan quickly figured out this truth. But he was still worried about letting Yu Ran contact the patients alone, so he simply sent a message to Moore, saying, "Moer, you are going to treat those crazy sentinels this afternoon, right?"
Mor quickly replied, "Yes. There were too many berserkers captured in the last mission, and I only dealt with half of them."
Lu Zexuan said: "I will bring Yu Ran to see you later. You can teach him what to do and let him help you share some of the lighter cases."
Moore was a little surprised: "He just joined the team, and you are so anxious to let him fight?"
Lu Zexuan said: "He proposed it himself, and he wanted to go and help."
Moore laughed: "Ranran is really serious and doesn't want to be idle for a day. Okay, bring him here and leave him to me."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zexuan brought Yu Ran to the underground city of the White Tower.
The elevator stopped at the first floor and needed to be verified again before it could reach the basement floor.
There is a dozen meters deep isolation zone between the underground first floor and the first floor. The isolation zone is filled with special soundproofing materials to ensure that no matter how noisy the underground city is, it will not affect the normal sentinels upstairs. Moreover, the isolation layer of more than ten meters is poured with the strongest metal, so even some sentinels with "underground burrowing skills" cannot dig through the building to escape.
The White Tower Dungeon, this is the darkest place on the capital planet.
There are a large number of frenzied and even distorted sentinels imprisoned here. They kill people without mercy, are bloodthirsty and crazy, and have almost lost their humanity... But many of them were once federal soldiers who made great contributions. Many of them also have parents, wives and children.
However, once you go berserk, you must be detained here and wait for the guide to treat you.
Those who can be cured will be released to continue working, while those who cannot be cured will stay here for the rest of their lives, never seeing the sun and suffering all the time. As soon as Yu Ran arrived at the underground level, he heard a deafening roar coming from the corridor.
"Ah...ah..." It was a painful howl like someone being tortured.
Yu Ran was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly hid behind Lu Zexuan. After all, this was his first time to see a crazy sentinel, so he had to act more realistically. Lu Zexuan glanced at him and whispered to comfort him, "Don't be afraid. They are all locked up. Those who are too crazy will be knocked unconscious by electric shock."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "sizzling" sound of electricity, and the howling sentry was electrocuted on the head and fainted.
Yu Ran whispered, "He must be in pain, right?"
Lu Zexuan turned around and looked at Yu Ran.
Yu Ran's face turned pale, but his voice was serious: "Being frenzied is just losing reason, and the actions are not controlled by the brain. It does not mean losing consciousness and perception. The senses of the sentinels are very sharp, and their sense of pain is more than ten times that of ordinary humans. Such violent electric shocks are actually a cruel torture for them."
The little guide in front of him had a pair of particularly clear and clean eyes, and at this moment, his eyes were full of sympathy and sadness.
Lu Zexuan's heart trembled slightly - when facing berserk sentinels, most guides with weak abilities would be "afraid" and those with strong abilities would find them "troublesome". Only a few guides, like Yu Ran, could truly think from the sentinels' perspective and empathize with their pain.
The sentinels' sense of pain is ten times greater than that of ordinary humans.
The pain that an ordinary person feels when pricked by a needle is like amputation for a sentry.
For an ordinary person, this kind of electric shock to the brain would probably be as painful as having the skull smashed or the brain dug out.
Yu Ran was right. The frenzied sentinels were imprisoned in the White Tower, enduring the double torture from the spiritual world and physical pain day and night. Although they still maintained their human form, they lived worse than a dog.
Some of the berserker Sentinels weren't completely unconscious, they just... couldn't control themselves.
Lu Zexuan sighed in his heart and whispered, "Let's go. The sentries we captured are all locked up on the negative seventh floor."
The deeper you go in the White Tower underground city, the more dangerous the sentinels are. From the first floor to the sixth floor, there are C-level sentinels with relatively mild illnesses. C-level sentinels have very small mental images and limited attack power, so they are relatively easy to treat. From the seventh floor to the ninth floor, there are B-level sentinels, and the difficulty of treatment is significantly increased.
On the negative tenth floor, those sentries above level A are imprisoned.
When sentinels go berserk, their combat power will be significantly improved. The combat power of A-level berserk sentinels is similar to that of normal A-level sentinels, close to S-level. They are extremely difficult to control, so the sentinels on the negative tenth floor are all wrapped in special electromagnetic chains. Once they make any abnormal movements, the electronic sensing system will immediately release a violent electric current, instantly piercing their brains.
To the sentinels, it was like a dark abyss, and no one dared to go down there. The security measures there were also very strict.
The elevator quickly reached the seventh floor below ground level. Yu Ran followed behind Lu Zexuan, secretly observing the cameras in the corridor as he walked.
There is a rotatable sensing camera at each corner of the east, south, west and north.
Yu Ran looked at the order of the rooms - the order of the room numbers on the previous floors was the same, probably for ease of management. Starting from the north corridor, Room 1, it was arranged clockwise, with 50 rooms in a row, and Room 103 was exactly the third room from the left on the south corridor.
It is very close to the elevator entrance in the south direction.
Yu Ran glanced at Room 103 on the seventh floor below ground calmly. The room number on the tenth floor below ground should be the same as here.
Lu Zexuan led Yu Ran forward, and from time to time painful screams could be heard in the corridor, mixed with the sound of electricity. B-level berserkers were difficult to control and would be tied up with chains. When they struggled, the chains rubbed against each other, making a harsh metallic sound.
Yu Ran frowned and wanted to cover his ears. The next moment, Lu Zexuan suddenly put a pair of soundproofing headphones into his ears.
My ears suddenly became quiet.
The man's finger accidentally rubbed the allergic earlobe. Yu Ran was stunned for a moment, and her ear suddenly turned red.
He ignored the strange feeling in his heart and looked back at Lu Zexuan. Lu Zexuan's mouth was moving, and then a low and pleasant voice came from his ear: "This is a soundproof headset with communication function. It will be much more comfortable to wear it."
Yu Ran nodded: "Thank you."
Lu Zexuan was also wearing headphones with the Falcon Corps logo on them.
He pointed ahead, and Yu Ran continued to follow him through the long corridor. The soundproofing headphones blocked the sounds of the sentinels' screams and struggles, but the despair and madness on their faces were still clearly reflected in Yu Ran's eyes.
When they turned the corner, they finally saw Moore.
Moore was also wearing noise-isolating headphones. He was sitting in a closed cell, patiently treating a frenzied sentinel. Four pure white tentacles of thought stretched out from his palms and gently pressed against the sentinel's forehead.
Moore's expression was very focused, and due to the severe mental exhaustion, a few drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks.
Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan stood outside the cell without interrupting. After a while, More finished the treatment and retracted his mind tentacles. The sentry's dark eyes gradually returned to their normal brown pupils, and his eyes regained focus. He looked at More gratefully and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, thank you."
Moore smiled and said, "You're welcome. Just take a nap and you'll be fine when you wake up."
The Holy Light Guide's hypnotic ability was very strong. As soon as he finished speaking, the mentally damaged sentinel in front of him finally fell into a deep sleep - this was the first time he had truly fallen asleep since being imprisoned in the White Tower.
Moore stood up, walked out of the cell, looked at Yu Ran and said, "This is your first time here. Are you scared?"
Yu Ran scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's okay. Although these frenzied sentinels are very aggressive, I know that their mental world must be very painful. They don't want to be like this, but they just can't control themselves. Besides, they are all locked up, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Moore was a little surprised. "Last time, several interns from the medical school came to the basement of the White Tower. They were so scared when they saw so many frenzied sentinels that they dared not speak. One of them even fainted... I didn't expect you to have such a strong psychological quality."
Yu Ran said: "How can doctors be afraid when facing patients? They need the help of guides."
Moore and Lu Zexuan looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Yu Ran's simple words pointed out the key. Only someone with the same idea as Yu Ran can become a qualified battlefield guide.
No matter how terrifying the sentinel is, the guide must not be afraid or retreat.
—Because he is your patient. He needs your help.
Moore patted Yu Ran's shoulder gently and said with relief: "It's great that you think this way. The last time you treated Xiao Qi, I felt that you were very talented. These days, the Falcon Special Forces is in a rest period and has no missions. You can learn from me how to deal with the crazy sentinels."
Yu Ran nodded vigorously: "Well, I will study hard."
Xiao Qi was the simplest case Yu Ran had ever come across. After all, she was only a 7-year-old child with a very small mental picture. It was very easy for Yu Ran to break through her mental barrier. Moreover, she was just in a dazed state, not frantic or aggressive.
The Sentinels imprisoned in the White Tower were a different story.
These are adults with complex and vast mental landscapes, and they have gone berserk and are very aggressive. When a guide approaches them, he must ensure his own safety, while also quickly breaking through their mental barriers, making them obedient, and healing their damaged mental worlds...
If you are not careful, you may suffer backlash.
There have been cases where guides were accidentally killed by sentinels while treating them. Therefore, it is understandable that many guides are afraid of sentinels. After all, these sentinels are like "madmen".
Lu Zexuan was still a little worried and said, "I'll stay with you."
Yu Ran: “…”
If you stay with me all the time, how can I go to the basement floor to rescue people
However, Lu Zexuan's concerns were understandable. He was worried that Yu Ran, the "rookie doctor", might be in danger of his life, so he stayed by his side to protect him.
Forget it, let him stay with me for two days. After I learn the skills to deal with the berserk sentinels from Moore, Captain Lu will be "reassured". Then I will find a way to get Lu Zexuan away and secretly go to rescue people.
"Thank you for your help, Captain Lu. I feel more at ease with you around." Yu Ran looked at Lu Zexuan and said sincerely.
"… You're welcome." Lu Zexuan touched his nose. Would he feel more at ease with him by his side? This feeling of being trusted seemed pretty good
Yu Ran turned around and looked at Moore: "Doctor Moore, let me help you!"
Seeing Yu Ran eager to try, Moore smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the next case."
