Chapter 379 -379: Cooperation
Next, Liu Yun and Bai Xiao continued to cooperate and quickly stitched and treated the other wounded. Because there was no anesthetic, Bai Xiao’s acupuncture was almost a universally effective miracle cure, and Liu Yun’s movements became even more skilled; the two of them coordinated more and more seamlessly.
However, there was nothing they could do about An Zhiyuan’s amputation; they could only suture and dress it, but reattaching the severed leg was impossible. First, the leg had been blown to who knows where, and secondly, Bai Xiao absolutely could not regenerate someone’s leg at this time.
That would truly be a death wish.
The injuries of the remaining wounded were not so severe, merely requiring disinfection and stitching. About twenty or thirty wounded were quickly taken care of.
It had already gotten dark.
The sporadic sounds of gunfire silenced everyone.
This was a farewell between life and death.
Bai Xiao was too exhausted to move, sitting at the entrance of the Karst Cave, leaning against the rock wall, the gradually darkening night outside unable to block the booming of the artillery and the flash of its fire.
Because of the heavy fog, no stars or moon could be seen in the sky.
The air was filled with a damp moisture.
Bai Xiao felt someone sit next to her. She leaned against the cliff, too weak to even want to open her eyes.
No one could understand her feelings; today was probably the most astonishing day.
She was very clear that her special ability had evolved once again.
The most obvious result was that despite the day’s exertions, the aftereffects of cold only caused her to shudder a bit, her skin to goosebump, and her complexion to pale slightly.
Compared to the past when she needed to be covered with quilts, drinking brown sugar water, and still shivering, this was a huge progress.
What’s more important, she discovered that she could now control her healing ability more freely, even to the extent that, although the external injuries looked severe, their internal immune systems had been stimulated by her to heal themselves effectively.
This was a massive improvement compared to before.
She strongly believed that this evolution of her special ability was likely related to An Zhiyuan’s treatment.
The two of them were like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, now truly sparking when they collided.
“Eat something!” An Zhiyuan’s voice was still so deep, carrying a reassuring steadiness. Bai Xiao opened her eyes, and a piece of steamed bread was pushed into her hand. Although it had turned cold, it was still edible and more popular than compressed biscuits.
But here, it was the worst kind of food to preserve. The temperature was high, and coupled with the continuous rainfall, such food had to be delivered by the kitchen crew daily; otherwise, it would definitely mold and sprout hair by the next day.
The kitchen staff would only improve their meals a few times a year; otherwise, it was always rice, which for many from the north, rice was practically a death sentence.
Ordinarily, they might not eat a single meal of rice in a year, and now it had become every meal, every day, every year.
This was undeniably a torment.
Bai Xiao broke off a piece of the bread, put it into her mouth, and asked him vaguely.
“Have you eaten?”
An Zhiyuan nodded. “I ate earlier than you, about two hours ago when you and Dr. Liu were still busy.” He watched Bai Xiao, who looked exhausted, feeling a pang of pity.
“Looks like you won’t be able to go down today. Their retaliation might last for several days; today there’s still steamed bread, but starting tomorrow, you’ll probably only have compressed biscuits and cold water.” He didn’t want Bai Xiao to stay here. Emotionally, having the person he loved by his side was a joy, but logically, having the person he loved stay here meant placing her in danger, which he did not wish for.
