It turned out that the other side of the door was actually the wilderness. Huang Ying was not dead, but she was very close to death!

She was surrounded by a large group of zombies. Cheng Zhen reached out and grabbed her, but at the same time, his arm was also grabbed by several zombies!

In that critical moment, Jiang Wan didn't hesitate to pull out her rattan whip and lashed it down at the zombies on the other side of the door.

Her strength wasn't great, and her aim was a bit off, but fortunately, her whip forced back several zombies that were grabbing his arm, allowing him to escape and rescue Huang Ying from their jaws!

Even so, a zombie was still tightly biting her leg, and Cheng Zhen brought her back with her!

"Quick! Shoot it back!" Cheng Zhen supported the portal and kicked it, forcing the zombie to release its grip.

Jiang Wan lashed out with her whip, sending it flying back!

The portal to another time and space has been closed, and the crisis is over.

Cheng Zhen sincerely praised her: "Not bad, you've improved."

Jiang Wan put away the rattan whip and nodded: "I think so too."

"Is there any hope for her?" She nodded her chin at Huang Ying. Huang Ying had several bite and scratch wounds on her body, as well as many human whipping and beating marks. Judging from the exposed parts of her body, there were hardly any patches of her skin that were intact.

The blood, frozen into a purplish-red color by the extreme low temperature, congealed on the skin, looking exceptionally gruesome.

Fortunately, her oxygen mask hadn't fallen off yet; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long in the wild and still be able to catch her breath.

But she has now fainted.

Cheng Zhen's expression was grim. He wanted to save the head of the pediatrics department, but the zombie poison seemed incurable. How could he save him?

Moreover, he has now brought her back, but there's no guarantee she won't go berserk and mutate at any time.

Just then, Huang Ying woke up, saw the two of them, gave a silent bitter smile, then closed her eyes again and lay motionless on the ground.

After a long pause, she finally said, "Why did you save me..."

She had lost the will to live, and perhaps dying like this would be a relief for her.

Jiang Wan looked at her silently for a while, then suddenly squatted down and asked her, "If we can save you, do you want to live? Who did this to you? Do you want revenge? Also, it was Zhao Xiaojun who asked us to save you."

She felt that Cheng Zhen was right about one thing: in the oxygen-deficient apocalypse, there was a lack of doctors who possessed conscience, medical ethics, and medical skills.

It's a real pity that Huang Ying died like this. What if the twins get sick in the future? Who will she turn to?

After all, she couldn't guarantee that the twins wouldn't get any illnesses as they grew up!

She scanned the tree hole space and found that the green sap had not increased, so there were still only two condensed beads.

She decided to take one out for her to try, just in case this stuff was also effective against the zombie's poison.

However, before giving her the medicine, she needed to find a cover for herself. In case the crystal bead could really cure the zombie's poison, she couldn't expose herself.

So she changed her usual indifferent attitude towards things that didn't concern her and patiently tried to find ways to rekindle her hope for survival:

“Zhao Xiaojun, he’s pitiful. He’s investigating his sister’s death and wants to avenge her. Now he’s learned that you’re in trouble. The key is that he doesn’t know who killed his sister or who harmed you. Maybe he’s acting recklessly and might offend some people’s interests. Then he might be the next one to die under mysterious circumstances.”

Huang Ying was indeed moved.

Oh my god!

It must have been exhausting to say all that!

So Jiang Wan suddenly decided that if she still wouldn't listen to advice, the task of persuading her would be handed over to Cheng Zhen.

But Cheng Zhen was much more direct: "Just tie her up and treat her if necessary. If she mutates, we can deal with it directly. Why waste so much breath talking to her?"

She rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. That's why, sometimes men are just a bit slow on the uptake.

Everyone knows she's a doctor! Can't she use her brain a little more?!

She didn't bother arguing with him anymore, and just looked at Huang Ying, continuing, "You're a doctor, you should know some herbs for treating bruises, insect bites, and other injuries, right?"

"Even if you really don't know, it's okay. We have people here who do know, but they're not very familiar with the medical theory aspects, so they might need your guidance."

After listening for a while, Huang Ying finally slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Is there any hope for me?"

Jiang Wan didn't discourage her, saying, "There's hope. I'll make you something to eat first, so you can calm down."

Then he said to Cheng Zhen, "Have someone bring Sun Sanhai and his apprentice here."

She went back to her room, made a cup of black sesame paste, and dissolved the green condensed beads from the tree hole space into it. After confirming that there was nothing unusual about it, she went next door and handed it to Huang Ying.

"Eat something first to refresh yourself; you'll have to rely on yourself from now on."

Huang Ying seemed to have come to her senses and stopped resisting. She had already gotten up from the ground and sat in the chair. Upon hearing this, she took the black sesame paste and drank it all. She stopped wearing the oxygen mask and took out a mask from her pocket and put it on.

Jiang Wan took the cup and examined it carefully to make sure she had drunk every last drop before putting it in the sink to wash.

Cheng Zhen glanced at her again, his gaze sweeping over the cup in her hand before calmly turning away without saying a word.

Sun Sanhai and Wu Xuan arrived quickly, and Jiang Wan spoke directly to Huang Ying:

"You're a doctor, so you should know a little about traditional Chinese medicine, right? They're all just amateurs, but maybe they can help you. So just tell me, what herbs do you need to treat all these injuries on your body?"

Huang Ying asked first, "Why did you save me?"

Her question was strange. She clearly didn't want to die anymore, so why ask such a redundant question?

Could it be that she has some secret, and she feels that they rescued her because of that secret?

Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen had the same thought at the same time, and then they said in unison, "Because you are a pediatrician."

Huang Ying lowered her eyelids and said, "The weather is cold now, and the snow is covering the ground, so many herbaceous plants are not affected by the frost. You can only try your luck."

She rattled off the names of several Chinese herbal medicines.

Sun Sanhai searched through his family's ancient books and told Jiang Wan the names of the corresponding plants.

Jiang Wan looked at Cheng Zhen, who nodded: "Time is of the essence, let's go now."

Unfortunately, Sun Sanhai only has one book. Huang Ying knows medical principles and pharmacology but is not good at traditional Chinese medicine, let alone identifying drugs. Moreover, she cannot leave the city now. Wu Xuan is the only one with talent in traditional Chinese medicine, but unfortunately, he has not yet mastered the basics.

Therefore, only Jiang Wan, who is an expert in plants, could go.

Cheng Zhen personally led a team to escort her.

Jiang Wan asked curiously, "Are you done with your work?"

With such a commotion last night, he must have to deal with the aftermath, right?

He smiled nonchalantly: "The interrogation is over, and the truth is out. As for what to do next, that's Old Chen's problem."

Before leaving, they tied Huang Ying up and locked her in a separate room, instructing that no one was allowed to approach her, just in case.
