Chapter 540 - 549: Joining Caeluna Base

Chapter 540: Chapter 549: Joining Caeluna Base

That, at least, saved her a lot of trouble.

Those with minor injuries that only needed simple bandaging could be handled by anyone with quick hands.

The slightly more serious cases, which were more troublesome to handle, were left to those who had studied medicine and had medical knowledge.

And Stella only handled the patients who were either too severely injured or had complicated conditions.

On top of that, she also provided a large amount of hemostatic gauze and anti-inflammatory drugs. She had collected all of this when she’d previously plundered supplies from Sanctyr Base, and now it was coming in handy.

With these supplies, many more lives could be saved.

The people all looked at Stella gratefully, and then went about their tasks with even more enthusiasm.

A night passed. The reputation of Caeluna Base spread rapidly throughout Veridia, and at the same time, the name of their leader, Stella Sterling, became deeply ingrained in the heart of everyone in the city.

They all knew that their lives had been saved by the people of Caeluna Base, saved by the woman named Stella Sterling.

And they also learned that Caeluna Base was a major base from the south.

In that moment, their favorable impression of Caeluna Base reached its peak.

This place was clearly Sanctyr Base’s territory, yet no one from Sanctyr Base was managing them now. Even during past natural disasters, the people from Sanctyr Base had simply left them to fend for themselves.

Compared to Caeluna Base’s actions, Sanctyr Base was sorely lacking.

’If only Veridia were ruled by Caeluna Base.’

Caeluna Base was willing to lend a hand even in an area outside its jurisdiction. If Caeluna Base were the ones ruling them, their lives would probably be much better than before.

Especially their leader, who was willing to personally treat their injuries. Where else could you find someone so good?

"A good day’s harvest!"

Stella Sterling stretched, a bright and radiant smile on her face.

Not only had she saved many people last night, but she had even laid a solid foundation for Caeluna Base’s future incursions.

Although Caeluna Base hadn’t been built out this far yet, Stella Sterling had already achieved her goal.

"Miss Sterling, your medical skills are incredible!"

As Stella walked past someone, the person greeted her with a look of pure adoration.

"Thank you!" Stella Sterling nodded. ℴℴ𝘮

The person jumped up and down on the spot in excitement.

Last night, Stella Sterling’s name had truly spread among them.

It wasn’t just because she was the leader of Caeluna Base, but also because her sublime medical skills left even those who studied medicine in awe.

Later, after the others had finished their own work, they all followed behind Stella Sterling to learn from her.

And they discovered that situations they considered extremely tricky were handled with such ease by Miss Sterling.

Her medical skills were truly sublime. Even with such a simple setup and a lack of proper tools, none of it seemed to be a problem for her.

After that one night, they were all in complete admiration of Stella Sterling’s medical prowess.

And when they learned that this young woman with superb medical skills was also the leader of Caeluna Base, they didn’t know how to express their shock.

’We’re all human, so how can the difference be so great? How can someone be so exceptional?’

Watching Stella Sterling walk away, the people’s gazes were filled with a mixture of envy and respect.

Last night, this Miss Sterling had truly opened their eyes.

"Excellent work, everyone."

Stella Sterling looked at the members of Caeluna Base resting on the ground and clapped her hands.

Hearing her voice, they all stood up. Although their faces showed fatigue, they all wore irrepressible smiles. "We’re not tired, Sterling! It was all worth it!"

They were a little tired, yes, but they had saved so many people! Just thinking about that made it all feel worthwhile.

Even Andrew Shaw, who was as tired as a dog, didn’t complain as he usually would. He had done it willingly.

Stella Sterling nodded. "It was indeed worth it. But you all really did work hard. Once this is all over, we’ll treat ourselves to a good reward!"

After hearing Stella Sterling say this, everyone knew Sterling was going to give them extra food again.

At that, they all started cheering and jumping for joy.

In this apocalypse, besides staying alive, the only thing they really had to look forward to was a good bite to eat.

Seeing them act like this, Stella Sterling covered her mouth and chuckled.

The people nearby who were watching the Caeluna Base members and their cheerful atmosphere also found themselves smiling, stealing envious glances from time to time.

’The people from Caeluna Base seem different from the ones we’ve seen from Sanctyr Base.’

’These people all seem really approachable, and the atmosphere among them is so good. Even their interactions with their leader are so relaxed and normal.’

’If only we could join Caeluna Base.’

Just as Stella Sterling and her team were resting, a number of people started walking toward them.

Black Swan and Seven Locke went over to talk to them. A moment later, they came back to report. "Sterling, these people say they want to join Caeluna Base. What do you think—"

Stella Sterling looked over at the group. Among them were some of the people who had helped treat the injured, as well as some who had voluntarily joined the rescue efforts earlier.

She thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright!"

She had interacted with these people last night. They were capable, and most importantly, they were good-hearted.

Not expecting to be accepted so quickly, the people froze for a second before bursting into loud cheers.

These people had been wandering the apocalypse alone, like rootless duckweed.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to join a base. They had joined Sanctyr Base, only to find it was completely different from what they had imagined. They couldn’t accept the things Sanctyr Base did, so they eventually found a way to leave.

But Caeluna Base, right in front of them, was different from Sanctyr Base.

Their leader was their idol, and they wanted to join Caeluna Base.

Stella Sterling thought for a moment, then said to Black Swan and Seven Locke, "I plan to establish a branch of our base here in the north. The first location will be Veridia. When we go back this time, I’m going to leave some people and some weapons behind. They’ll stay here to establish the base!"

"We’re going to need a lot of manpower going forward. We can take this opportunity to recruit some people from this group. Given the special circumstances, we can relax the recruitment requirements. For those who join Caeluna Base, the benefits will be excellent!"
