Loreen then pulled a syringe from her Thread Pants...
After all, her healing abilities wouldn’t do well on those open injuries. So of them must be closed up before the healing effect can truly shine.
She then injected her patient a coagulant-enhancer, then followed with a leaf’s breath healing potion that was made from the World Tree’s leaves..
The mont it entered his system, Loreen’s Healing Zone activated.
[ Healing Zone - Nearby allies recover 10% HP over 10 seconds ]
The two nearby soldiers straightened slightly, and their wounds started knitting faster. One of them gave her a quick nod before charging back into the fray.
Loreen exhaled as she scanned the battlefield.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
At the sa ti, the traps had caught dozens of crawlers... Limbs were impaled, as writhing bodies could be seen everywhere. However, more kept coming.
They poured from the treeline like a living tide as they mindlessly aid to reach the wall...
"North gate is holding," one of the Super Soldiers shouted. "But we need more ti!"
Loreen tapped her comm.
"This is Loreen. I’m deploying the last of the alchemical fire. Clear the front line!"
She reached into her coat and pulled out a pair of special ampoules—one red, one green. She twisted them together, shook once, and threw the vial over the barricade.
It shattered mid-air.
Crash~
Just like that, a burst of erald fla erupted across the crawler swarm, igniting the infected Zombies with a chemical fire.
The creatures around shrieked as the fire clung to their bodies. This fire couldn’t be easily removed, so it started burning through their muscle and bone!
They couldn’t do anything about it at all since it was specifically made to burn zombie flesh...
[ Effect: 50% Burn Damage to Mutated Flesh ]
The Super Soldiers surged forward as they cut down the disoriented crawlers.
Loreen didn’t stop moving.
She weaved between fighters, checking vitals, injecting stimulants, applying bandages with inhuman speed.
Of course, there are several healers or physicians who were also on the battlefield like her, but her presence alone could assist more than 100 fighters!
Her Precision Gloves glowed faintly with every touch, boosting her efficiency, keeping her hands steady even as blood sprayed and bodies fell.
Outside the wall, a crawler broke through the line as it leapt over a barricade...
Loreen didn’t flinch.
She ducked low, swept its legs with a spin, then jamd a vial into its exposed neck. The glass shattered, releasing a burst of paralytic mist!
Whoosh~
Her combat style was completely different from many others, but she certainly had a lot of vials she could use!
Many of them were created by her own hands, but most of them were actually Anna’s creations... They were failed dicines that had been converted into weapons instead...
Gurgh~ Gurgh~
The crawler soon spasd, with its limbs locking up after a few seconds as if its blood had frozen...
One of the Super Soldiers finished it with a clean strike and broke it completely...
Crash~
"Thanks for the help..." The Super Soldier said.
"Don’t thank yet," Loreen replied. "You’re still bleeding."
She pressed a gauze patch to his shoulder, activated a minor healing salve, and moved on.
The battle raged for another 30 minutes.
Then, finally, the last of the crawlers fell. Thankfully, the Zombie Lord had attacked the southern gate instead of the northern gate, so the damage wasn’t too big.
The field was now littered with twitching corpses, so still impaled on traps, others burned to husks.
Loreen stood at the center as she helped an injured Super Soldier...
Soon, her circlet glowed faintly as it scanned for any remaining critical injuries.
[ No critical injuries detected ]
She exhaled.
Then turned to the squad.
"Get the wounded inside. I’ll prep another batch of salves and stabilizers. We’ll need them before the next wave..."
One of the Super Soldiers gave her a tired smile.
"You’re not just a healer... You’re a damn miracle worker. Great work, Alchemist Loreen."
Loreen chuckled as she just adjusted her gloves and moved toward the next patient.
There was still work to do.

In the anti, while the shelters still suffering from the Red Night Sky Event, and the defenders fought tooth and nail across every gate, another kind of battle was being waged within the New Genesis Shelters
Deep within the subterranean hangar, the 12 mute slaves worked in silence.
They didn’t speak. They didn’t rest.
They didn’t flinch when the walls trembled or when distant alarms echoed through the steel corridors. Their hands moved swiftly, guided by blueprints, raw materials, and the ever-watchful eye of Cloud.
Each one was marked by the sa trait. They were expressionless faces, pale skin, and eyes that never blinked...
They were quite a terrifying race that Shane bought from the Auction Event but they were not mindless. They were focused. And they were building sothing that had never existed before.
The ch Fra stood at the center of the hangar...
Unlike the other 5 to 6 ter tall Aegis Series, the one in front of them was twelve ters tall, sothing that could equal the Giant Zombie King...
Furthermore, the cockpit was now designed for full neural sync. But what made it different wasn’t its armor or weapons.
It was the new engine.
The Advanced Floating Engine Core that Shane bought for 25,000 Points was damaged, unstable, and barely functional.
Its original purpose was powering a flying fortress. But now, it had been reborn... Instead of powering a single fortress, they had divided it to ensure that it could help them create the 21 Special Engine they called GM Drive.
Cloud had handled the calculations.
The mute slaves had handled everything else.
They had lted down broken conduits, reforged stabilizer rings, and rebuilt the levitation matrix using salvaged Spirit Crystals and alchemized steel. Every bolt, every wire, every panel had been placed with surgical precision.
And now, 18 hours into the Red Night Event—with only six hours remaining—the ch Fra was complete.
