Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 498: Factional Relations (Combined Chapter)
"Um……"

Bowei opened his eyes in a daze.

What I saw was a white dome with paintings of goshawks, herds of sheep and bonfires on it.

A familiar sight.

White tent.

What filled my nose was the smell of medicine, which was different from the herbs that ordinary herdsmen usually cooked, and more like chemical medicine such as disinfectant.

He suddenly stood up:
"How are the wolves?"

The guards around him quickly supported him and said, "Everyone is fine."

Bo Wei looked around and saw neatly stacked camping beds, each of which had a warrior from the North Wind Clan lying on it.

But it's different from when I first came in.

These people don't look like injured people at all. They are lying in a crooked position, some are snoring and sleeping soundly, while others are gathered together to chat and play finger-guessing games.

They were still wrapped in bandages though.

But the injuries on his body were obviously almost healed.

I'm full of energy at the moment.

Bo Wei looked at his naked upper body and realized that he was the same.

Those horrific wounds torn open by the Bone-Burying Wolves were not only sutured together with fine soft thread, demonstrating the operator's highly skilled technique, but the wounds themselves had also almost recovered.

New tender flesh appears behind the fallen blood scab, and even the scar is only a shallow layer.

There is almost no trace of it on these rough guys.

He was shocked and asked, "How many days have I been in a coma?"

For creatures in the wasteland, the normal recovery speed is already very fast. There is an old saying that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but most people cannot understand it - take the warriors of the North Wind Clan for example, they can go home and lie down for ten days before getting out of bed and continuing to work the next day.

However, they need to recover from the injuries they suffered during the battle against the Bone Burial Wolves to their current level.

It will take at least a month to do this, and that's only for those with minor injuries.

After all, you still have to grow meat.

Bo Wei could see that his subordinates had received good treatment, but he didn't expect that he would be unconscious for so long after being injured...

During this period, the wolves might catch up with the North Wind Clan. Perhaps the Beak-billed Beast Plague has already broken out or even ended... Their forces are delayed here, and there is no time to go back to protect their families.

Bowei was quite anxious.

But he also found that he did not seem to be weak due to being in a coma for a long time.

"Brother," the guard said with a strange look on his face, "you just slept for two days."

"Only two days?" Bo Wei exclaimed, "How is this possible!"

He knew the extent of his injuries best, and they had almost healed now... How could it be possible that only two days had passed since he had fought off the wolves? It would take up most of the day for him to get normal sleep.

"Brother, you are already considered seriously injured. Most of the brothers only came in to lie down for half a day before being replaced. This is the last batch." The guard said, with a trace of disbelief in his tone after adapting to the past. "Everyone is almost well now."

"It's hard to believe... but the one who treated us personally was the Red King."

"And here is his tent."

Such seemingly illogical words, when spoken by the guards, seemed to be natural - as if mentioning the 'Red King' could naturally explain all the magical phenomena.

This is indeed the case.

They witnessed a miracle.

[Effective module: Rapid medical bed (level B)]

[Effect: Camping beds provide 20 times the healing rate, medical beds provide 40 times the healing rate, and mechanical repair beds provide 100 times the healing rate...]

[Effective range: within the base]

The healing rates provided by the module are based on the "natural recovery rate without any formal medical treatment", which has been superimposed on the category of the medical bed itself. For example, the ancient black technology of the mechanical repair bed can automatically perform surgery and greatly speed up the recovery of injuries. Now it has become more abnormal.

Without having to guard against wolves, Lu Meng changed the module of the stronghold from "building health" to "quick medical bed". The most basic one only requires an ordinary outdoor camping bed, which he had already arranged.

In his conception,

In the future, different buildings can be divided into different functions.

Tents are undoubtedly very suitable for use as mobile field hospitals.

The scope of effect is still limited to his own base, and will not make large-scale changes to the entire world.

This is also related to the module permission level.

Of course, such restrictions are actually beneficial to Lumeng at the moment.

It won’t suddenly turn all the beds on the continent into top-level health-recovery cabins...there are still many of Lu Meng’s enemies out there.

If you want to make all the poor people in the world happy, you must first clean the house before inviting guests.

But in the eyes of the North Wind Warriors.

A magical scene appeared.

As long as you walk into the Red King's tent and lie down on the camping bed, your injuries will heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if you have received a blessing from God.

But once you leave the tent, the effect disappears.

Some people secretly took out the camping bed and tried it outside, but it didn't work. The camping bed turned back into an ordinary straw mat in an instant, and it even made you catch a cold due to the wind...

under control variables.

Everyone knows where the problem lies.

Or, to know who did it all—

Lu Meng was standing on the top of the grass hill at this moment. His cloak was stained red by the wolf's blood and he had no time or water to wash it. He only took it off for hygiene reasons when treating the wounded, and then roughly disinfected his body.

Now I put it on again to keep warm, and it still has a strong fishy smell.

However, none of the North Wind Warriors behind him showed any disdain.

On the contrary, they looked at Lu Meng with deep respect.

Resist the wolves and turn the tide...

More importantly, it turns decay into magic... no, it should be said that it turns decay into miracle.

One can imagine what kind of impact this would have on them, who came from a simple herdsman background.

And that’s not all.

In addition to the "rapid medical bed" module that is effective at the stronghold, there is also a corresponding module hanging on Lu Meng's personal panel.

[Effective module: Medical Angel (Level B)]

[Effect: Your treatment will generate additional faction favorability. ]

Lu Meng, the 'old doctor', hasn't practiced his [Medical] skill for a long time, so its improvement is very slow compared to his other skills.

This time I gained a lot of experience.

Reached the level of "outstanding".

But now, Lu Meng’s own medical skills level is no longer important.

Firstly, a medical department was established in the swamp. The team headed by Dr. Zhong was much more professional and had more manpower. Although they could not meet all medical needs, after all, doctors always have bald heads...but it was basically no longer Lu Meng's turn to take action.

Secondly, his own strength has improved and he rarely gets injured.

The need for first aid is not that urgent, but even if it is, a dedicated field doctor can be found later.

However, after the authority is upgraded to level B.

Combined with the newly unlocked module "Medical Angel", the nature of the [Medical] skill seems to have changed.

Lu Meng had his back to everyone at this moment.

It's not that he's trying to be cool.

But even he, who had been through many battles, could not withstand the fanatical gazes of these rough and muscular men behind him... After a brief experiment, it seemed that the effect was a little too strong.

On the panel, more information is provided after the permissions are unlocked:
The "Northern Wind Clan" column in [Faction Relations].

It has evolved from the initial "coexistence" to the highest level of "blood alliance".

And because of the gap in strength.

It is written as "blood alliance", but it is not an exaggeration to say it is "surrender".

Starting from neutrality, there are a total of 1000 positive favorability points, divided into five levels: neutrality, coexistence, friendliness, respect, and blood alliance.

At the beginning, as Lu Meng realized, although the Beifeng Clan obeyed his orders, they were mainly intimidated by his power, and their actual favorability only fluctuated between 400 and 500.

but now.

After fighting side by side, using fast medical beds, medical angels, etc.

The favorability level is directly maxed out.

"How can this be called a medical angel..." Lu Meng sighed inwardly, "It's obviously a medical succubus, right?"

But this is understandable.

Take this combination of punches.

Anyone would be confused.

He knows that panel data does not directly change the world, but rather records and provides feedback on existing information about the world.

It's just for people's intuitive understanding.

For example, the relationship between him and the Beifeng clan is currently a "blood alliance".

But there will still be differences among them. For example, the opinions of the uninformed herders towards Lu Meng will not change... This is a comprehensive judgment.

However, this can also be reflected from the side.

These North Wind Warriors around Lu Meng were so fanatical about the 'Red King' in their hearts that it directly raised the average of the entire tribe.

This is also because of their high weight.

They are already respected in the Beifeng clan and have a say, plus they are the armed force of the entire tribe - if even the military force is controlled by someone else, then there is no doubt which direction this force will lean towards.

"The Red King."

A sturdy man with his upper body wrapped in bandages opened the curtain, strode out, and saluted with his fists clasped.

"You've recovered very well." Lu Meng looked at him and said jokingly, "But I won't try so hard next time. Pulling you back from the brink of death... This is the most strenuous time in my medical career."

The man who came was Bo Wei, the commander of the North Wind.

Not surprisingly, he had the same fanaticism in his eyes.

No, it is still better.

"It's all because of your highness's divine...superb medical skills." Bo Wei was a little entangled, "I was a little worried before."

He didn't know whether to say this was a supernatural power or medical science.

But since the Red King didn't say anything, I should just go along with what he said.

"Ah."

Lu Meng didn't explain much.

As far as he knew, in the A-level module, there was also a human body repair cabin, which was a top-level treatment method, almost a creation from the era of interstellar colonization...but it consumed a huge amount of electricity and had harsh prerequisites.

More importantly, Lu Meng suspected that its prototype or substitute also existed somewhere in this world.

In comparison, the medical bed on display this time is just a small matter.

For example, the camping bed in the base, strictly speaking, has the same healing effect as an ordinary mechanical maintenance bed.

Of course, this is also perverted.

The latter is the most powerful medical repair equipment on the known continent. There are only a few in stock and they are quite hidden. There is only one in Shark Village, at the Dancing Skeleton Man's place.

But same effect as a camping bed.

There are hundreds of them in the white tent now.

It is also cheap to make and can be dismantled after use - after all, it is just a straw mat.

If it was the real cold weapon era, with this kind of black technology, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for a certain uncle to support the Han Dynasty...

"Ow~"

"Boneyard Wolf!?"

At this moment, Bo Wei heard another wolf howl. His hair stood on end and he wanted to draw his sword immediately, but he missed again.

Then he realized that he was just a patient who had just recovered from his injuries.

But this sudden wolf howl was not as ferocious as the one the night before. Instead, it contained some desperate whimpers, as if it was only one step away from begging for mercy.

"Snap!" A whip sounded and exploded in the air.

"What are you yelling about!" an old man cursed and swung his whip.

Bo Wei looked in the direction of the voice and realized that the man was one of his subordinates and also an experienced animal tamer in the North Wind Clan, Mota North Wind.

However, what shocked him was

What was under Motta's whip was none other than the ferocious and predatory wolves from the night before. There were more than twenty of them.

But now, their legs and feet were tied with thick hemp ropes and they couldn't break free.

There was an iron bit on that bloody mouth, but it was obviously a size too small and it broke the skin and flesh.

These are for bone dogs.

The Boneyard Wolves were much larger than them, so it was naturally not suitable for them.

It seems that it will need to be rebuilt in the future.

"Are you trying to tame them?" Bo Wei understood immediately and looked at Lu Meng in astonishment.

"Yes." Lu Meng walked to the struggling bone-burying wolf. The wolf's body shape was similar to the lions and tigers in his impression, and its ferocity was even greater. "Is this rare?"

Then Lu Meng patted it on the head.

The wolf buried in the ground cowered and remained quiet.

However, the wildness hidden in those green eyes could not be completely eliminated.

This leaves no doubt:
Once they are untied again, these Boneyard Wolves will once again transform into ferocious beasts that wreak havoc and hunt.

"Yes...that's not right." Bowei didn't know what to say.

Of course, it is rare to want to tame the Boneyard Wolf.

No one has ever done it.

In the legends of the tribes of Shan, there is only one tribe that has a mutation that allows it to possess an extraordinary affinity for animals. They are considered a legendary clan that has the potential to tame the many wild beasts in the Skeleton Wasteland and solve the beast disaster in one fell swoop.

However, I wonder if they have lost their minds.

Not only was this clan unwilling to tame wild beasts, they even stopped herding cattle and sheep. Instead, they suddenly developed a strong interest in a certain crustacean.

So much so that they left the inland plain of Shem.

They moved eastwards and now no one knows where they are going.

In this era, only Wumian and the former beast taming genius of the White Eyebrow Clan offer some hope.

However, Wumian chose to specialize in beak-mouthed beasts, and the youngest son of the White Eyebrow clan was said to have fallen seriously ill and become mentally ill in an accident. Now he can't even take care of himself and is being kept in a tent, and has not seen anyone for a long time.

Taming the Skeleton Wolf?

Bo Wei wanted to say it was impossible.

but……

He looked at Lu Meng's back, and a light flashed in his eyes.

If it was this person...

What's impossible?
Lu Meng was looking at the bone-burying wolves he had captured. Although they were not as big as adult beasts of burden, they were also extremely strong. Their shoulder height was almost as high as that of an ordinary person's chest.

After all, they are just mutated wasteland creatures and cannot be compared.

There is a folk saying.

A head of copper, bones of iron, and a waist of tofu.

This refers to the spines of canines, which are generally fragile and cannot withstand any physical exertion, let alone being ridden.

However, the thick bone plates on their bodies, like exoskeletons, make up for this well.

Then, Wolf Riders...

Is there any explanation?
