Chapter 1741: Just a superficial injury

The rusty roller shutter door of the abandoned gas station was melted open by Lu Jingcheng using his lightning-based supernatural power.

The moment I pushed open the door, a much fainter smell of disinfectant mixed with a light bloody odor wafted out, clearly indicating that the bleeding from the wound had stopped, which was why the smell had faded considerably.

Chu Yuanqing leaned against the dilapidated cash register with its deep brown cracks, his face as white as a sheet of rice paper soaked in water, even the tips of his ears were tinged with a pale blue.

Her breathing was no longer the rapid panting it had been before; her chest rose and fell as lightly as if the wind were blowing through a piece of paper, and the occasional shiver was only hidden in the fingertips gripping the edge of the table.

Sun Qi sat on the ground, his right hand loosely covering the lower left chest area, his fingers not fully clenched. With each cough, his body would subconsciously lean forward half an inch, his shoulders would tremble, and after coughing, he would lean back heavily against the metal shell. In the interval between catching his breath, he rubbed the faint red at the corner of his mouth with his left thumb.

Chai Yutong sat on the oil drum next to her, her right arm wrapped with a hastily torn strip of combat uniform cloth. The edges of the cloth were slightly loose, revealing a red and swollen wound underneath, with some light yellow pus on the surface.

Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped long ago, and only this little bit of pus was noticeable.

A faint, watery light lingered at her fingertips—her water-based ability. She carefully condensed this ability into a thin stream of water, which she slowly channeled through the gaps in the cloth, gently washing away the pus from the wound.

The water flow was as fine as mist, effectively washing away the pus without irritating the broken skin. She moved very slowly, afraid of hurting herself if she didn't control her strength properly.

In her other hand, she clutched a mint that Li Luo had given her earlier. The wrapper was still on, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the wrapper. She wanted to unwrap it and put it in her mouth to relieve the itch in her wound, but she was afraid that it would distract her and affect her control of her superpowers, so she could only hold it for the time being.

Li Luo immediately understood the situation upon entering the room.

The injuries on everyone looked alarming, but in reality, they were all superficial wounds that didn't cause any serious damage.

They were already high-level superhumans, their wounds had stopped bleeding long ago, and their recovery speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, which was why she hadn't rushed over earlier.

She glanced around at everyone's injuries, her gaze first landing on Chai Yutong—although the wound on her right arm wasn't deep enough to reach the muscle, the surface was red and swollen with a little pus, making it the most noticeable among them, and it needed to be treated first.

"Yutong, let's treat your arm first." As soon as Li Luo finished speaking, Chai Yutong had already torn off the strip of cloth wrapped around her right arm, brought the wound closer, and said with a smile, "It's just a small injury. I can carry supplies right away after you're done treating it."

Li Luo's fingertips cast pale green light threads, first enveloping the pus and gently absorbing it, then slowly repairing the red and swollen area. In less than two minutes, the originally red wound faded to a light pink.

Chai Yutong glanced down, then casually wrapped the strip of cloth around her arm, her movements as practiced as tying shoelaces.

They had gone through this process countless times before, so there was no need for Li Luoduo to remind them.

Then, turning to Sun Qi, he had a palm-sized abrasion on his left chest, caused by an attack from an enemy's supernatural ability. Although there was no bleeding, it had scraped off a large area.

Before Li Luo could even approach, Sun Qi had already gently pulled down the zipper of his combat suit a little, carefully avoiding any uninjured areas, only revealing the abrasions on his chest. His tone was clearly respectful:

"Sister-in-law, you can take care of this for me first. I can help move things later so as not to delay everyone's journey."

The moment the light thread touched his skin, he immediately relaxed his shoulders, without even frowning. He only lightly clenched the hem of his clothes with his fingertips, afraid that any movement would affect Li Luo's operation, and dared not be careless in the slightest.
