Chapter 520 - 513. To Use Their Weapon
"Can you move?" Bassena asked Ron. The scout wasn’t as badly injured as before--nothing was melting away--but still...bad. He was drenched in blood and pale from mana deficiency.
"No," the man replied after finishing cursing the experience of getting scattered twice by fragments. "Can someone get me the box in my breast pocket?"
"I--I’ll do it," the outpost defender, who was feeling bad for barely doing anything, helped the scout light up a golden needle Radia supplied him as a thanks for that first fragment attack.
"Haa...let me have this a bit and I’ll get up again," the man said while inhaling mana deep inside, filling his empty system again.
After giving the defender a set of regenerative serums to be given to the scout, Bassena quickly swept his gaze around. Thankfully, no one was in danger of eruption yet; Ron and Helios were in the red, but it was a low one, and they should be able to manage until they got to the Borderland.
He looked at the Humvee next, which engine was still on. Good--at least it was still operating. "Zeylo, Ishi, get everyone to the Borderland right away."
"Y-you mean...vacating the outpost, Commander?"
"Yes," he glanced at the reporters once again. "Get everyone to safety, and send these two to a healer and a guide. Here," he threw a dimensional storage pouch to the marksman. "Put the reporters’ equipment here to make room so these two can lay down."
"Y-yes, Commander."
Bassena looked at them once more before turning around. He would like it if he could make sure they were truly alright--or at least on their way--but he couldn’t afford to do it now. Finally, he made sure the remnants of the fragment’s material body fully disappeared before turning to the main base’s direction.
"Bas," Ron stared at the dark foliage above and blew an odorless smoke into the stuffy air. "Hang on."
