Chapter 270: Healing Jin Guang

In the early morning of the Western Hills Safe Zone, the broadcast played training instructions on a loop,

the golden sunflower sea rippling in the sunlight, Lu Ran busy on the ridge of the field early in the morning,

loosening soil and fertilizing those mutant sunflowers. A Nian ran over, skipping and jumping, holding a grass-woven bracelet in her hand, with two small golden sunflowers inserted on it.

"Captain Lu, look." A Nian handed the bracelet to Lu Ran,

her eyes curving into crescent moons, "Today is my twelfth birthday; Sister Xia Nuan taught me how to weave it."

Lu Ran stopped his movements, crouched down, looked at the sunflowers on the bracelet,

then looked at A Nian's smiling face, reaching out to rub her hair: "It looks very good."

A Nian smiled even more happily; she hopped to the center of the sunflower sea,

waving at that golden sunflower that would never wither. Lu Ran looked at her back,

the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifting into a smile. During this period, life in the safe zone gradually stabilized, the threat of the zombie tide was temporarily contained,

the remnants of the Black Scorpion organization were also completely cleared, the smiles on the team members' faces increased, and everything was moving in a good direction.

After the morning training ended, a commotion suddenly came from the medical room of the safe zone.

Lu Ran heard the news and immediately ran toward the medical room, A Nian also following behind him, still holding that grass-woven bracelet in her hand.

The medical room was crowded with people, and several team members were carrying a seriously injured team member in a hurry. That team member had encountered a mutant beast while patrolling,

his chest slashed open with a long cut, blood gushing out,

his face pale and frightening. Xia Nuan was busy dealing with the wound, using a pile of hemostatic medicine and gauze, yet still unable to stop the bleeding.

"The blood won't stop; the wound must be sutured as soon as possible." Xia Nuan's voice carried a hint of anxiety. "But his blood pressure is too low; too much anesthetic cannot be used."

Lin Chen stood to one side, his brows tightly locked, shouting to the surrounding team members: "Move aside, keep the air circulating."

The team members retreated one after another, making a path. Lu Ran squeezed in, looking at the seriously injured team member's wound, his heart sinking. His enhancement ability was biased toward attack,

and he had no help for treatment, only able to watch Xia Nuan busy.

A Nian stood beside Lu Ran, looking at the painful appearance of the seriously injured team member,

her small face wrinkled into a ball. She remembered the first-aid knowledge Sister Chu Yao had taught her, and couldn't help but walk forward, saying to Xia Nuan: "Sister Xia Nuan, can I help? I can press his wound."

Xia Nuan looked at her and nodded: "Be careful, don't hurt yourself."

A Nian nodded, carefully reaching out her hand, pressing against the edge of the seriously injured team member's wound.

Her hand was very light, her movements very steady, as if she had practiced countless times.

Just then, the seriously injured team member suddenly twitched, and the blood at the wound gushed out violently, splashing onto A Nian's hand.

A Nian was startled, yet didn't let go. She looked at the painful expression of the seriously injured team member, and a strong impulse suddenly surged in her heart, wanting to help him reduce the pain. She closed her eyes, muttering to herself, not knowing what she was saying.

The next second, a soft golden light radiated from the palm of A Nian's hand,

slowly enveloping the seriously injured team member's wound. That golden light was warm and soft, like the spring sunshine, falling on people, making them feel a sense of comfort.

Xia Nuan's movements stopped abruptly; she looked at that golden light, her eyes wide open. Lin Chen and Lu Ran were also stunned; they looked at that golden light, their faces revealing expressions of disbelief.

This golden light was exactly the same as Chu Yao's healing golden light.

The moment the golden light enveloped the wound, the blood stopped gushing out. The seriously injured team member's complexion gradually recovered a bit of ruddiness, and his painful expression also eased. A Nian still closed her eyes, the golden light in her palm growing brighter and brighter, until the seriously injured team member's wound began to heal slowly, before she slowly opened her eyes, and the golden light dissipated accordingly.

A Nian looked at the palm of her hand, then looked at the seriously injured team member's wound,

her eyes full of confusion. In her mind, some fragmented images suddenly flashed: the wind and snow filling the sky, Sister Chu Yao's gentle face,

and that warm golden light. Those images became clearer and clearer, more and more complete, like memories that had been sealed, being completely opened at this moment.

A Nian's body shuddered violently, and tears surged out instantly. She turned around,

rushed toward Lu Ran, hugged his waist tightly, and cried out loud: "I remembered that snowy night."

Lu Ran's body stiffened; he looked at A Nian crying in his arms,

his heart feeling as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand. He reached out, gently patting A Nian's back, his movements as gentle as if he were afraid of breaking her.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Ran's voice was hoarse, yet carried a trace of imperceptible gentleness.

Xia Nuan walked forward, looking at the crying A Nian, her eye sockets also turning red. She reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying to the surrounding team members: "Everyone disperse; the wounded is already fine."

The team members nodded one after another, turned, and left the medical room, leaving only Lu Ran, Xia Nuan, and Lin Chen. Lin Chen stood to one side,

looking at the two embracing, his heart also feeling a wave of sourness. He knew A Nian had remembered, remembered that snowy night, remembered Chu Yao's sacrifice.

A Nian cried for a long time, until the tears were dry, her voice was hoarse, before she gradually stopped. She looked up, looking at Lu Ran's face, her eyes red and swollen like walnuts: "Captain Lu, Sister Chu Yao she..."

Lu Ran nodded, not speaking. He knew some things didn't need to be said; A Nian understood everything in her heart.

Xia Nuan crouched down, gently stroking A Nian's hair: "A Nian, Sister Chu Yao hasn't left; her light is always there."

A Nian looked at Xia Nuan, then looked at the palm of her hand, where the temperature of the golden light seemed to still remain. She remembered Sister Chu Yao's final smile, remembered the way Sister Chu Yao entrusted her to Captain Lu, and tears couldn't help but fall again.

Lu Ran reached out, wiping the tears from A Nian's face, his eyes firm: "Sister Chu Yao's light will always be with us."

Lin Chen walked forward, patted Lu Ran on the shoulder, then looked at A Nian, and nodded. The atmosphere in the medical room was no longer oppressive, sunlight shone in through the window, falling on the three of them, and also falling on that golden sunflower placed on the windowsill, the petals swaying gently, as if smiling. ===== CHAPTER 271 =====
