I'm playing Frostpunk in Arknights

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Lighthouse



"The temporary treatment decree allows workers to join the rescue station and treat patients."

"I believe you have the ability to teach them how to treat patients," but since it is a matter of life and death, Alina feels that she should know more, "but is it really risky to let the workers receive patients?"

Alina's doubts are understandable, and this is also the problem Wang Zhan hopes to solve, "Workers cannot treat serious patients; they cannot perform surgery, so they can only treat people with milder conditions."

With such a severe drop in temperature, Wang Zhan guessed that there might be many serious patients, and then the four people in the rescue station would need to be separated and a new rescue station would be opened.

"In this case, we can let Gatlin and his rescue station receive serious patients," Alina made her own suggestion. She needs to judge the patient's condition in advance. If there are too many people, there may be trouble, and then Talulah will need to come forward to help.

"Smart, I plan to do the same," Wang Zhan praised. "This requires the efforts of you and Talulah. I can only do so much for the treatment of patients."

Alina felt that Mr. Generator was too modest. Just providing a warm environment, medical conditions for surgery, and hot food was enough to make the infected feel like they were dreaming.

And the promulgation of the decree made this newly emerging home look like a city.

"You can be proud," Alina told Wang Zhan seriously. "You have indeed changed the status quo and achieved the conditions that Talulah has always promised to the infected... Leave the rest of these trivial matters to us."

"We will help you complete the construction of the city."

Since Alina said so, she would be a hands-off boss, "Okay, then the next thing will be left to you and Talulah."

When the lighthouse is built, you can see the new landmark after opening the map. Mu Ye should have added new events, right?

With the map, you need to plan for the next action of the energy tower. "The infected won't let you down."

Alina found that Mr. Generator's voice disappeared from her ears. He should have heard what she said just now, right?

Although she was not sure, her thoughts were conveyed to Mr. Zhan, so it didn't matter if he didn't hear it.

"Why do you feel a little depressed, Alina?"

Carl pulled Mr. Pence out from the side of the Generator. Pence looked at Alina a little embarrassed. He heard that she was very angry when he left without permission.

"Do you want to hear it?"

Alina asked back with a smile. Carl seemed to smell the smell of danger and pushed Pence in front of her. "I found him back. The injection of the inhibitor is missing this person, right?"

Alina nodded and looked at Pence. "Mr. Pence, you said that you would wait until the mineral disease broke out before leaving. I respect your wishes, but it's not time yet."

Pence didn't expect Alina to remember it, even though she was so busy at ordinary times.

He choked a little, and his voice was trembling. Pence counted the days of his life in his heart, and a strong gratitude was brewing within him. "I seem to be dreaming, a very long dream," he glanced at Alina, feeling that he couldn't raise his head. "The storm is cold; it reminds me that I was supposed to die."

"I'm afraid of death, and it doesn't matter if no one remembers me," Pence raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "On the first day I came here, I followed others to the village to dismantle wood, and no one helped me."

Alina felt sad; the infected had long been numb to each other, and only Talulah would lend a hand to others even when eating tree roots.

"But, it's really strange, on the second day, someone came to help me," Pence smiled. "Everyone took good care of me in the days that followed, and when I first came, they still disliked my mineral disease."

"You gave me clothes, food, and shelter. I was often replaced by others because of my thin body," Alina saw his unwillingness. Mr. Generator only assigned the work, and she was responsible for arranging the workers, but she also knew that people couldn't be idle, and she didn't expect that the infected would take the initiative to replace the shift.

"I wonder if this beauty is rejecting me and whether I am qualified to enjoy this happiness?"

"The storm is coming," Pence said incoherently. He was too excited and could only say what he liked. "I suddenly realized that the dream was about to end."

"I will die sooner or later, but I can give my happiness to another person."

Alina understood Pence's thoughts. She was often proud of herself because she had made some efforts in the current situation, but Pence seemed to tell her that it was far from enough.

Mineral disease is the god of death that accompanies them after all. Perhaps because of this, Mr. Generator has never been satisfied with the status quo.

"It's so sensational," Gatlin stood at the door of the rescue station for a long time. "Even if what you said makes sense, I still have to inject you with this inhibitor."

Alina and Carl looked at Gatlin. It's not that Gatlin has never seen this situation before; there are many such things in the village. He is used to abandoning human lives.

But that's because everyone has no choice but to let the young people live first, which is actually a helpless move.

It's different now. If we have resources, we must use them. Saving lives is always the first thing to do. "As a doctor, I won't watch you die. Besides, do you want to live up to Mr. Generator's kindness?"

Pence stopped talking. Alina smiled happily and said, "Go get the injection."

Gatlin helped Pence into the first aid station. Carl found that there was no task for the time being. "I'll go and rest for a while... You too, Alina, you haven't closed your eyes since yesterday morning, right?"

"After the lighthouse is built, I still need to discuss the treatment of the guerrillas with Talulah."

Carl understood in his heart, "Then take care of your health. Other brothers will replace us. If you have something to do, find a quilt - it's a person's name, don't get me wrong."

"I know. Go and rest."

After sending Carl away, Pence also completed the injection. After Gatlin confirmed that there was no problem, he would send him to the shed. 

There was laughter in the rescue station. Alina caught a glimpse of a dazzling light rising from the bottom of the rock wall. The hot air balloon continued to expand and rise with the light below. Was the glowing stator under the rope used to mark the height?

Alina watched the dazzling light gradually become softer until the light source was higher than the generator tower, protruding out of the canyon, and stopped in the air.

The cold wind was biting, and the light was swaying. She watched for a long time until she was sure that the light of the lighthouse would not leave with the cold wind.

"Ah--"

Alina's neck made a crisp sound. "It hurts..."

[The lighthouse has been built, our home has begun to take shape, and this strange land will also show us a corner of it. We need to organize a reconnaissance team to explore this land.]
