Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 819 - 80: Zhan Zhouzhou Returns Gravely Wounded
"Oh, crap!"
Seeing who had come, Li Zheng exclaimed and jumped up from the stool, rushing to the teleportation gate in three steps: "How did you get hurt like this?"
Zhan Zhouzhou was covered in blood, several wounds still bleeding, and she looked pale and weak due to excessive blood loss: "You... you jinx! Talking about yesterday before setting off, and today twenty blockheads ambushed me, almost couldn't make it back alive."
"Forget the babbling, you need to treat these wounds right away!" Li Zheng rummaged through the capsule and finally found some low-tier medical supplies: "Damn! Always relied on old Xiao for healing, never even collected medical equipment beyond platinum!"
Li Zheng was panicking because these wounds on Zhan Zhouzhou weren't going to heal quickly with anything below platinum-level medical equipment.
Frustrated, he picked up a bottle of Black Water and sprayed it over Zhan Zhouzhou's wounds, and handed her a bottle to drink: "Stop the bleeding first, drink this Black Water to prevent internal injuries from worsening!"
"It's no use." Zhan Zhouzhou held the Black Water without drinking: "I tried it, but it didn't stop the bleeding."
Indeed, after Li Zheng sprayed two bottles of Black Water, the bleeding from Zhan Zhouzhou's wounds showed no signs of stopping and instead appeared to accelerate with her movements.
"Damn it!" Li Zheng was anxious: "You can't die, I'm counting on you to escort me to find the Blacksmith!"
Zhan Zhouzhou was Li Zheng's only safeguard since he lost his combat ability. If something happened to her, he'd have no sense of security at all.
"Wait!" Li Zheng remembered something and tossed a few empty bottles at the busiest part of the street: "Hold on, reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements?" Zhan Zhouzhou weakly asked: "Where are these reinforcements? Can you get Xiao Siyuan to come?"
"Xiao? He's off who-knows-where right now, how could he come?" Li Zheng helped Zhan Zhouzhou back to sit by the table, constantly watching the alarmed passersby, and sure enough, he saw someone eyeing them, activating an Inscription Card, clearly 'calling for help.'
Seeing this, Li Zheng felt somewhat relieved, now only hoping that Chen Rui and Xiong Li aren't coming like the 'wolf,' else Zhan Zhouzhou's life will certainly be saved!
"I feel a bit cold..." Zhan Zhouzhou weakly said, leaning on the table.
"Of course you feel cold, you've lost too much blood, how could you not feel cold?" Li Zheng had been with Xiao Siyuan for a while, and he had picked up some basic medical knowledge.
"Of course I know it's from blood loss..." Zhan Zhouzhou weakly but firmly said: "So how soon will your reinforcements arrive? I feel like I can't last much longer..."
Smack!
Li Zheng saw her looking drowsy, and unexpectedly slapped her across the face, provoking Zhan Zhouzhou's anger: "Damn! I'm like this, and you take the chance to settle personal grudges? Do you have any humanity?"
Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Still have the energy to swear, should be able to hold on for a while."
Zhan Zhouzhou instantly fell limp: "This is the first time I've been hurt so badly, when I recover, if I find out who sent those blockheads, I'm definitely going to stab them three times in six spots!"
"Let's talk revenge later." Li Zheng saw two figures of vastly different sizes squeezing out of the crowd: "Here come the reinforcements."
Chen Rui adjusted his clothes that got wrinkled by the crowd and came up to them: "Yo, what happened? How did you get hurt like this?"
Li Zheng promptly handed over 100 ml of intermediate nutritional fluid: "Brother Chen, do me a favor, take her to the best doctor here."
"What are you doing?"
Chen Rui raised his voice and said: "We are the Law Enforcement Team! We're public employees! Know what public employees are? They're public servants! Public servants do not charge for helping the people!"
As he spoke, he handed back the nutritional fluid that Li Zheng had given him and nodded toward Xiong Li: "Big guy, take her, let's go to Old Niu!"
Xiong Li leaned down and scooped up Zhan Zhouzhou, placing her on his broad shoulder, saying muffled: "Old Niu's expensive, let's go to Old Snake instead."
Chen Rui turned and slapped Xiong Li's hip: "We're saving people, not selling organs! Old Snake might be a better doctor but he doesn't charge money, only patient organs!"
"Really?"
Xiong Li scratched his head in confusion: "Why didn't he mention that when I went for healing?"
"Of course!"
Chen Rui said irritably: "Look at your intelligence now, Old Snake definitely took your brain!"
Thud thud~
Xiong Li tapped his head, listening to the sound, and said confidently: "Impossible! It's not empty in there!"
"That's a metaphor! A metaphor! Do you understand metaphor? With your combat power and straightforwardness, Old Snake wouldn't dare mention organs to you..."
As they walked away, Li Zheng listened to their conversation, feeling both relieved and speechless.
What kind of bizarre creatures live in the Outer City?
Why are there so many doctors with different styles?
Turns out the ones I met before were the most regular part of the Outer City?
Compared to this, the peaceful Pandaren who had a conflict due to language issues yesterday seemed too pure, wondering if they could survive well in the Outer City...
Oh, they're old players' survivors, huh?
Then it doesn't matter...
But the fact that Zhan Zhouzhou got hurt this time is strange. How come after killing one yesterday, twenty people ambushed her the next day?
Li Zheng rubbed his chin and sat by the table again, thinking quietly.
Does that organization have something to pinpoint locations?
Or is Zhan Zhouzhou's luck just so bad that she ran into another bunch of thugs by chance?
Both are possible, and both seem unlikely...
However...
"There's a third possibility, could it be that Zhan Zhouzhou met a different group from yesterday's?" Li Zheng thought, feeling this explanation made the most sense.
Based on collected information, Li Zheng knew that the 'seniors' were numerous but considered 'expendable,' possibly divided into several factions.
Regardless of the faction, they shared a common trait: once dead, they're gone.
So even though Zhan Zhouzhou wiped out one yesterday, the group wouldn't blindly attack without knowing the enemy's strength, it would be suicidal.
At the very least, Li Zheng thought even with his intelligence often criticized by Zhan Zhouzhou, the seniors would definitely figure this out.
After thinking for a while, a thought struck Li Zheng's head: "Could it be that Zhan Zhouzhou encountered those red-named players from the Outer City today?"
The most daunting in the Outer City, apart from the seniors, were the red names left behind from past player events.
Their individual power was above average, ruthlessly cunning, and they could easily come together for profit.
"If that's the case, today's incident is just a misunderstanding."
