Chapter 680 - 686: The Most Suitable Candidate
Finding a medic, Yang Yi felt a stir of excitement.
Having one was still better than none, right?
"Find a medic? Brother Yong, tell me how to find one, and the real question is, how effective would they be?"
"The effectiveness of medics is just so-so. Don’t you think about where mercenaries work? It’s always in places without any order—for the past few years, look at the hotspots like Libya, Syria, Iraq. Wherever mercenaries operate, do you expect hospitals to be around? Plus, mercenaries are like rats crossing the street—loved by neither uncle nor grandma—even if there are big hospitals, you’d have to dare to go there. And even if you dared, by the time you get the injured there, they’d already be gone."
Yang Yi didn’t even need to ask; Zhang Yong had laid it all out for him.
"Once the employer has paid, they don’t care what happens next. Mercenaries don’t have support or supplies. They do the work for money; whoever gets injured is just out of luck. For minor injuries, no need for others; you can just deal with it yourself. For serious injuries, medics can’t handle it. Even if they are skilled, they don’t have the conditions, right? Suffering a serious injury, relying on a medic to keep you alive long enough to get to a hospital—that’s something that might sound plausible, but it’s tough in reality. So if a mercenary is seriously injured, it’s basically a death sentence."
Yang Yi let out a heavy sigh. It seemed finding a good doctor among the mercenaries was a lost cause.
However, just then, Zhang Yong shifted his tone again.
"But it’s not impossible. For the cannon fodder groups, having a medic is just for some psychological comfort. However, for groups like Angel Mercenary Corps, it’s different. They have medics, real military doctors who, if you’re critically injured, can perform major surgeries like open chest operations right on the spot. Why does Angel have that? Because they have money and connections. Nate is willing to do anything to increase their survival rates. But that’s treatment that only top-tier mercenary groups like Angel could offer; other groups could only dream of it."
