Chapter 386

What exactly happened?

No wonder he can only lie there waiting to die; even if taken to the first special zone with the highest civilization level, the outcome would still be just waiting for a miracle.

If it really happened while helping transport weapons, Ye Heng will feel guilty for life.

While the defense team hasn't arrived yet, Ye Heng didn't just wait idly.

He took out all the medical supplies for treating wounds from his space, intending to first help Luo Song clean the wound.

But the wound was already festering and oozing pus, intertwined with dried blood stains and gauze clothing stuck together; Ye Heng was at a loss for a moment, so he could only first invite Xu Ya inside.

"Sister-in-law, I want to first help him clean the wound, but my hands are heavy, so I still need your help."

Xu Ya heard this, froze a moment, then suddenly caught sight of a pile of medical supplies in the corner out of the corner of her eye, and was startled.

"You, you have medicine?"

Ye Heng nodded, "I have saline, iodine, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and antipyretic medicines. Luo Song's wound is severely infected; we need to quickly remove the pus, blood, and necrotic tissue, otherwise it will only get worse."

Xu Ya felt somewhat excited; she immediately walked over to those medical supplies and examined them one by one, growing more shocked the more she looked.

These things aren't even available in the special zone; who would dare be so extravagant as to have such a large bottle of saline?

There are also many medicine bottles, seemingly only available from the civilized era; since Fe Tu Shi Jie, resources are scarce and the ecology severely damaged, so the medicines that can be reproduced are extremely few.

As for innovative development, that's even harder.

Xu Ya took a deep breath, and hope suddenly flared in her eyes again.

As long as we have these supplies, Luo Song might still be saved!

Xu Ya looked gratefully at Ye Heng, her gaze firm as she said:

"Brother Ye, thank you so much; these supplies are too precious, but Old Luo really needs them now, so I won't stand on ceremony."

"I'll handle the wound cleaning; my assigned job in the special zone is medical nurse, I'm familiar with this."

Ye Heng felt reassured hearing that; with a professional present, Luo Song would be better protected, and he wouldn't have to waste the supplies Lin Meng gave.

"Alright, I'll assist from the side; tell me whatever you need me to do."

Soon, the two began cleaning Luo Song's wound.

Ye Heng grew more alarmed as he watched; once the treatment was nearly done, he also gave the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines to Xu Ya.

"These two medicines are effective; quickly give them to Luo Song."

Xu Ya took the pills and gave them to Luo Song to swallow, then she finally relaxed.

Regardless, the medicine has been used; whether he can pull through depends on Luo Song's own fate.

Xu Ya stayed strong for several days, but then she couldn't help secretly shedding tears.

Ye Heng is not good with words and doesn't know how to comfort, so he could only say:

"Sister-in-law, don't worry; Luo Song's constitution isn't bad, he'll surely pull through."

Xu Ya wiped her tears while nodding.

"If he can pull through, that's best; the child can't be without a father, and I don't want to lose my husband. Old Luo is a good father and husband, but it's a pity that even if he survives this severe injury, he must be able to accept it himself."

Ye Heng was somewhat puzzled by these words.

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?"

Xu Ya took a deep breath, then spoke sorrowfully:

"Even if Old Luo wakes up, his body might be ruined; you don't know, both his legs are comminuted fractures; even if I immobilize him now, without surgery it's hard to heal."

"Old Luo has always taken pride in being the defense team captain; this job is both an honor and the family's lifeline."

"I can't imagine how desperate he'd feel when he wakes up to find his job gone and his body disabled."

Nowadays, many people live just to save face.

If Luo Song knew he'd become a cripple, how great would his psychological pressure be?

Xu Ya didn't go on; she was also very afraid.

She is merely a nurse trained after the civilized era; many skills she hasn't fully learned, only knows the simplest basic operations, and in the medical team she's basically a marginal figure.

This time her husband was injured and took long leave; there might not be a position for her there anymore.

If she loses her job, with no points source, Luo Song also loses his defense team job; whether the family of four can continue to reside as upper citizens in the special zone becomes a question.

Becoming an upper citizen doesn't mean one can rest easy; everyone still needs to continually earn points for housing.

Once they lose their points source, they're likely to lose the special zone's protection, be expelled, and live in the outer shantytowns.

Xu Ya didn't tell Ye Heng these things; these medical supplies have already left them unable to repay, she feels she shouldn't drag Ye Heng further in.

Ye Heng fell silent upon hearing that.

He actually already anticipated that Luo Song's injury couldn't be just superficial; both legs are swollen and rotting, the bones inside must have been crushed.

Seeing Xu Ya feel despair, Ye Heng couldn't bear it in his heart.

Now there's no other way; we can only seek help from Lin Meng again.

Last time Zhang Chaoran was near death, it was Lin Meng who used a divine pill to pull him back from the gates of hell.

Luo Song's injury looks less dangerous than Zhang Chaoran's last time; it should be fine.

But this way, we'll have to trouble Lin Meng again.

That divine pill must be extremely precious; not to mention whether Lin Meng still has any left, if she does, what could we offer in exchange? We can't keep taking without giving; that would be too improper.

After thinking, Ye Heng decided to first ask Lin Meng and then decide.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Meng immediately inquired about Luo Song's condition.

Ye Heng gave a brief description; hearing it, Lin Meng felt relieved in her heart.

"There's hope; like this, I'll give you a Return Spring Pill. Take it and observe his condition more; if it's just the injury you described, one Return Spring Pill will be enough."

Ye Heng's eyes lit up; yes, last time it was also a Return Spring Pill that saved Zhang Chaoran's life!

But, this pill can snatch a person from King Yama's hands; it's surely very precious.

Ye Heng thought for a moment and said:

"Lin Meng, Luo Song's injuries are too severe; without the medicine you gave him, his life is ruined. I can only shamelessly ask for this medicine on his behalf first, but rest assured, I will definitely find a way to repay you, not take it for free."

"What was Lin Meng doing then?" she waved her hand and said:

"No need for that; didn't Luo Song earlier give me a box of gold? The golden tree, the golden book is heavy and especially valuable, plus the golden Buddha statue, pistol, and little turtle—I also like them all."

"What he gave is more than enough to buy this Return Spring Pill in my hand; it's what he deserves, you don't need to think you're taking it for free."

As she spoke, the Return Spring Pill had already been transferred into the First Space.

"Take it and give it to him to consume; if there's any news, contact me anytime."

Ye Heng was deeply grateful, but right now the most important thing is to help Luo Song recover from his injuries.

Just then, the sound of pounding on the door kept ringing; outside, the two children were frightened and hid inside the house.

Ye Heng's hand, clutching the small porcelain bottle, quietly withdrew again, and he put the Return Spring Pill back into the space.

Luo Song's life should be saved, but for now he cannot be given the medicine.

Those outside harbor ill intentions, watching like tigers; if they happen to see Luo Song's condition greatly improved, they will surely target him.
