324: She won't feel at ease until she sees her teammates wake up

Jiang Fei did not cut Lu Yu's underwear.

Otherwise, if his teammates woke up and knew about it, both of them would be embarrassed.

She went next door and called Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui.

“You two help Lu Yu change his underwear; it’s not convenient for me.”

Jiang Fei conscientiously turned her back, not looking.

A few minutes later.

Su Liuyuan: “It’s done, Captain.”

Jiang Fei came over, wet a towel, wiped the remaining seawater from Lu Yu’s body, and helped him put on dry, comfortable pajamas.

Afterward, she took out a can of food and a beef bone and fed them to Little Black in the doghouse.

“Little Black was great today; this is your reward.”

“Woof!” Little Black barked happily, lowering its head to eat.

“The temperature outside is below zero now, and the Tube Building is too cold. I’ll go pick up Chu Xia. You two stay in the Supermarket and don’t go out.”

After telling Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui, Jiang Fei exited the Supermarket.

The strong wind carried snowflakes, swirling everywhere, and the cold air that hit her face was like knives cutting through skin.

The snow was even more intense than before she entered the Supermarket.

The depth of the snow on the ground completely exceeded her ankles.

This weather was not suitable for driving a Jetta, so Jiang Fei took out an off-road vehicle.

After getting in the car and turning on the air conditioning, she drove to the Tube Building.

No one was outside in the blizzard. Jiang Fei parked the car in the Supermarket warehouse, went upstairs to get the key, and entered 301.

It was as cold inside the room as it was outside.

The thermometer on the wall showed -30℃.

Xiao Chuxia was curled up in her quilt on the lower bunk.

She had several quilts covering her.

“Miss, has the Axe Gang been dealt with?”

“Yes, and I also picked up Liu Yuan and the others.”

Jiang Fei brought Xiao Chuxia into the Supermarket before telling her about the three people’s injuries.

Ignoring her icy body, Xiao Chuxia first checked the wounds of Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui.

Because of the miraculous ointment, Su Liuyuan’s shoulder and chest wounds were healing.

Ling Zhaorui’s left arm was noticeably swollen.

He had already taken painkillers, so it wasn’t as painful.

Luckily, his limb wasn’t deformed.

Xiao Chuxia, however, was worried: “There’s no medical equipment now, so we can’t see what’s inside your arm. If it’s a comminuted fracture, that would be troublesome…”

Suddenly, Jiang Fei remembered something.

She had received a batch of medical instruments from Lin City Second Hospital before.

Jiang Fei took Xiao Chuxia to the Supermarket warehouse to search.

There was an electrocardiograph, a ventilator, an ultrasonic scaler, a blood pressure monitor, an X-ray machine, and a microscope.

After confirming that the X-ray machine was usable, Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia couldn’t move the machine, and their injured teammates couldn’t help. So, they simply called the injured to the Supermarket warehouse for X-rays.

Large items like X-ray machines, cars, and excavators were not on the shelves.

Instead, they were automatically collected by the Supermarket and placed on the ground.

Connecting the generator and the X-ray machine’s display screen, Xiao Chuxia performed the examination on Ling Zhaorui.

The X-ray film formed inside the machine, and the image could be seen on the screen.

“Zhao Rui, your arm has a minor bone crack. It will heal completely if you wear a brace for three months.”

Xiao Chuxia asked Jiang Fei: “Miss, do you have a brace here?”

“Yes.”

The brace was one Lu Yu had used when he was injured before.

After his arm injury healed, she put the brace in the Supermarket warehouse.

She never expected it would be used by Ling Zhaorui one day.

Jiang Fei found the brace and replaced the splint on Ling Zhaorui’s arm.

Xiao Chuxia then examined Su Liuyuan.

No problems were found.

Subsequently, Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia pulled a flatbed cart, lifted the unconscious Lu Yu onto it, and pushed him over for an examination.

Although his bones were fine, the sprain in his left ankle was quite severe and would require some time to heal.

After taking Lu Yu back to his bed in the small wooden house, Xiao Chuxia found a pillow and propped up his swollen left foot.

She didn’t forget to remind Ling Zhaorui.

“When you go back, also prop up your arm. Keep it higher than your heart; it helps reduce swelling.”

Ling Zhaorui nodded, taking note.

“Miss, Brother Lu was wet and stayed outside for several hours. He might develop a fever or cold tonight, so someone needs to stay by his side.”

Jiang Fei: “I’ll watch him. You two go rest.”

She wouldn’t be at ease until her teammate woke up.

There were only two small wooden houses in the Supermarket.

Lu Yu occupied the smaller one, and Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui slept in the larger one.

To let her friends rest and recover from their injuries, Xiao Chuxia didn’t move Lu Yu again and went to sleep in the tent outside.

Afraid she wouldn’t sleep comfortably, Jiang Fei brought a mattress and placed it in the tent.

Returning to the small wooden house, Jiang Fei sat on the chair by Lu Yu’s bed.

She drank a bottle of spring water in one gulp, dispelling her physical and mental fatigue.

Every hour, she would take Lu Yu’s temperature.

After an unknown period, Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Jiang Fei on the chair.

He wanted to speak, but his throat was too dry to open his mouth.

Fortunately, Jiang Fei noticed Lu Yu was awake and brought him the spring water from the table to drink.

After drinking half a bottle of water, Lu Yu’s throat felt much better.

“Is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?”

Lu Yu gently shook his head, indicating no.

Remembering what happened before he fainted, he pursed his lips.

“I’m sorry for making you worry…”

Only then did Jiang Fei learn the full story.

Scavenging in Mos City was not as simple and easy as it seemed.

Survivors spontaneously formed teams to stick together for warmth.

Some genuinely scavenged, while others specialized in robbing others of their hard-earned goods.

On their first day, Lu Yu and his two companions had a falling out with a team called “Cang Lang.”

Cang Lang tried to steal their supplies, and half of their people were killed.

Because of this, they hated them.

The ambush on Lu Yu and his two companions last time was carried out by Cang Lang.

Learning that the three hadn’t died and had escaped, Cang Lang feared retaliation and also wanted to settle things. They directly allied with all other teams and dug a pit on the barren mountain.

They covered the pit with dry branches, planning to lure them into the pit and trap them like a turtle in a jar.

At that time, the sandstorm was too strong, affecting visibility, and Lu Yu and his two companions accidentally stepped into the pit.

Lu Yu’s left ankle and Ling Zhaorui’s left arm were injured then.

Using smoke bombs and flashbangs, the three safely climbed out of the pit but were surrounded by Cang Lang and the other teams.

The opposing side had over a hundred people.

One-third of them carried hunting rifles.

They were outnumbered, and there was a cliff nearby.

When he was a mercenary on missions, he had jumped into the sea from high altitudes several times.

He had some experience and knew the correct diving posture.

So he covered Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui, allowing them to break out of the encirclement.

He stayed behind, throwing bombs to kill the group of people.

At the moment of the explosion, he jumped off the cliff to avoid being injured by the blast.

Who would have thought he would scratch his right leg on the reefs at the bottom of the sea?

The sprain in his left ankle also became more severe.

By the time he climbed ashore, the injuries to both legs made him unable to walk. His body ached as if it were falling apart, so he could only hide in a nearby cave.

And the walkie-talkie was lost after falling into the water.

Lu Yu said in a weak voice:

“I’m in good condition now. You go rest.”

His neighbor had been busy with the Axe Gang matter, then went to look for him. She hadn’t rested for a day and a night and was so tired she had dark circles under her eyes.

Jiang Fei looked at the watch on her wrist.

It was already 8:45 AM.

Her teammate should no longer have a fever.

Just in case, Jiang Fei took a rope and tied it to Lu Yu’s wrist.

The other end of the rope was tied to her wrist.

“I’ll lie down on the bed opposite for a while. If you feel uncomfortable, pull the rope and call me.”

Lu Yu said, “Okay.”

Jiang Fei lay on the single bed and closed her eyes.

She was indeed very tired.

Even after drinking spring water, she hadn’t recovered.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, she uncontrollably drifted into dreamland.

—

Waking up naturally, Jiang Fei immediately went to check on Lu Yu.

However, the bed opposite was empty.

If it weren’t for the rope scattered on the floor, she would have thought everything that happened after finding Lu Yu yesterday was just a dream.

His leg was injured, where could her teammate go? Was he kicked out of the Supermarket?

Impossible.

She had permanently bound a membership card for her teammate.

Jiang Fei got out of bed in a panic to look for him, and suddenly smelled a fragrance.
