Chapter 419: Chapter 419
"Little He, what are you hiding here for?" Just when He Qizhi was confident that Qian Qi wouldn’t find him, a sinister laughter suddenly sounded in his ear.
He Qizhi stiffly turned his head, and upon seeing the terrifying face that had chased him to death in his dreams countless nights, he let out a miserable, terrified scream in an instant!
"Ah——!" How did he find him!!!
After wandering around the military camp for a while and not finding He Qizhi, Qian Qi came to the warehouse as usual to see if there was anything good she could "borrow." She didn’t expect to meet He Qizhi here.
Her smile suddenly turned mischievous.
"You wouldn’t be... hiding from me, would you?"
He Qizhi crouched in a dark corner, huddling into a ball, too afraid to make a sound, wanting to minimize his presence as much as possible.
"Boring." Seeing him so cowardly, Qian Qi paid no more attention to He Qizhi, rummaged through the warehouse but couldn’t find anything more interesting than the Blast Gun, so she took two bottles of Die Da Jiu and walked out of the warehouse.
He Qizhi breathed a slight sigh of relief, just poking his head out to leave, he saw Qian Qi returning, "By the way, Little He, where’s the infirmary in this military camp?"
He Qizhi was so frightened that he fell to the ground again, trembling as he pulled out a military camp defense map from his pocket, shoved it into Qian Qi’s hand, and fled the warehouse, practically rolling away.
She touched her face and muttered, "Weird, how come when I beat up He Qizhi, he gets scared , but when Old Qian beat up Chen Tong, Chen Tong dared plot to kill Old Qian?"
He Qizhi is the heir of the He Family, both his identity and personality are more arrogant and prideful than Chen Tong, yet, why is it that Chen Tong not only isn’t afraid of "Qian Qi" but even dares to seek revenge? The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novęlfire.net
It’s as if Chen Tong doesn’t have "Qian Qi face phobia."
Qian Qi puzzledly tugged at her face, soft and easily deformable.
The system blew a whistle guiltily and then disappeared.
Sneaking around following the defense map, Qian Qi didn’t expect to bump into an acquaintance at the entrance of the infirmary.
"What are you doing here?" Qian Qi looked at the equally secretive Xu Jinghong in surprise.
Xu Jinghong was equally surprised, "What are you doing here?"
Here they both were, wearing Defense Helmets stealthily as if they couldn’t be seen.
The two exchanged a glance, and after a moment of silence, they both tacitly refrained from speaking.
Stepping into the infirmary, they glanced at the signpost, one quickly walked towards orthopedics, the other swiftly ran towards surgery.
Over there, Xu Jinghong turned a corner and saw Qian Qi hadn’t followed, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, then took a deep breath and walked into the office in the orthopedics area.
There were many patients in the infirmary, everyone was lining up, it was a long wait before Xu Jinghong’s turn.
"Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" The doctor didn’t even lift his head to look, after days of sleepless treatment of survivor injuries, they were also exhausted.
"The bone in my shoulder should be cracked." Xu Jinghong said.
The recoil from Sheng Qing’s sniper rifle was too strong, he fired several rounds, and the bone in his shoulder had long cracked. He had been enduring it all the way, finally making it to the military camp, and secretly came to the infirmary avoiding people.
With many siblings at home, he had gotten used to bearing painful things by himself.
Just didn’t expect Qian Qi also came alone secretly, thinking she was like him, unwilling to show weakness in front of acquaintances.
"Go inside for an X-ray." The doctor pointed to the inner room behind, thanks to the "instance," modern medicine was forced to make rapid advancements in internal medicine and orthopedics, now small-scale bone fractures and fragmentation can be very well treated. After confirming Xu Jinghong’s injury, the doctor gave him a low-level healing potion and a plaster bandage, "Limited conditions, can only use this for emergency, but you’re an Awakener, your healing rate is much faster than ordinary people, you should recover fully in a week."
"Thank you." Xu Jinghong thanked him, put on his coat to cover the signs of plaster.
Meanwhile, Qian Qi randomly slipped into a patient room, pulling aside a woman chatting with other patients, "Sis, can you help me?"
"Oh dear, what’s wrong?" The woman saw Qian Qi and responded warmly, "What do you need help with?"
"I hurt my back, can’t reach or see it myself, can you help me apply some medicine?" These days, spending so much time communicating with Moyu in the instance, Qian Qi’s voice was a bit hoarse.
"Ah, this... this isn’t appropriate, young man..." The woman blushed slightly, "How about I go to another room to find a man to help you..."
Qian Qi: "Sis, I’m a girl."
Woman: ... "Haha, actually I meant that you’re such a pretty girl, you definitely have a boyfriend, let me call him over, don’t be shy..."
Qian Qi touched her helmet and cooperatively hummed, "Long-distance relationship, can’t come over."
"Ah, I see!" The woman clapped her hands, "Come on, let me apply medicine for you!"
The woman was very warm-hearted, everyone in the room was female, those who could get out of bed did so, they locked the door and covered the window, holding two bottles of Die Da Jiu, ready to apply medicine for Qian Qi.
And when the girl took off her Defense Armor, seeing the numerous injuries on her body, their eyes turned red and noses sore.
Not even mentioning other areas, just the back was covered with bruises and purplish patches, nearly covering her whole back, with many suppurating pustules that likely resulted from large-scale burns, ground to bleed in several places, looking like a blood-and-flesh mess that inspires a painful sympathy.
Though the Blood Stopping Magic Potion healed the claw marks left by the Violent Tooth Iron Bear, it couldn’t heal the bruises and burns left by the A-level Magical Beast Magic Plant whip on Qian Qi. As time dragged on, it naturally hurt and swelled, even with Defense Armor, one could feel the pain through the collisions and friction.
"Oh dear, child, how did you get so many injuries!" An elderly grandmother spoke with heartache, "Already skinny and frail, not cherishing your body!"
"How’d you endure without making a sound, it must hurt so much!"
"Dear, are you an Awakened Warrior? It’s thanks to you we can survive."
An aunt, looking at Qian Qi’s back, shed tears, "Still so young, going to the battlefield, how heartbroken your parents must be if they saw this!"
Seeing them so emotional and upset, Qian Qi was a bit unaccustomed, she comforted, "It’s okay, I don’t have parents."
Might as well not have spoken, once she said it, all the women in the room started crying.
System: [Wow, you’re quite the comforter.]
Thing is, she never thought it was a big deal, these were all small injuries, the major ones had long been treated with Blood Stopping Magic Potion.
The women, wiping their tears, mixed the Blood Stopping Magic Potion with Die Da Jiu and applied it onto Qian Qi’s back, the burn blisters healed quickly, leaving scabs to fall off rapidly, the bruises stayed but after some invigorating movements, they lightened a tone.
Qian Qi also took off her shoes, applying medicine all over the burn blisters on her soles and other affected areas.
After handling her injuries, Qian Qi bid farewell to the women and left the surgical area, upon stepping out, she bumped into Xu Jinghong coming out of the orthopedic area.
Neither asked each other anything, Qian Qi tossed a bottle of medicine to Xu Jinghong, "Apply it to your soles when you get back."
Xu Jinghong’s soles must have been burnt too.
Xu Jinghong nodded and then, the two stepped out of the infirmary, tacitly heading one east and the other west, parting ways...
