Chapter 237 Survival After the Calamity shuhaige.net

After escaping the storm and drifting in the hurricane for an unknown amount of time, the three were finally blown to a beach.

On the vegetation not far from the beach, one can still vaguely see a layer of white frost; in the distance, the snow-capped peaks, which never melt, reflect the dazzling sunlight.

"Get away from me! You monster!"

Looking at the shirtless man in front of her, Aisha turned pale, raised her musket, and aimed it at his chest.

Todd glanced down at his completely mutated right arm, its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen and adorned with dozens of sharp, protruding bone spurs. He smiled wryly at Aisha and said, "I can explain this, but could you please put down your gun first?"

“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and Merciful, taste the punishment of burning!” Aisha pulled the trigger hard.

The muskets remained silent.

After pulling the trigger several more times with great effort, Aisha discovered in despair that the musket had misfired.

“We’ve been in the sea for so long, the gunpowder would have long since lost its effectiveness.” After saying this, Todd looked at Aisha’s lower body. When they fell in the storm, the mast hit Aisha’s calf, causing a noticeable dislocation of her bones.

Todd held out his hand, signaling Aisha to calm down: "Your leg might be broken. If you keep moving around like this, you could end up crippled..."

"Get out of my way!" The latter hurled his musket at the enemy as if it were a projectile, while crawling backward.

Todd looked helplessly at Rachel beside him, casting a pleading glance his way.

Rachel glanced at Aisha, extended her index finger, and made a slash towards her.

Aisha's head was twisted to the side with great force, and she immediately fainted.

To shut people up, Rachel's simple yet brutal method left Todd speechless.

Where is this place?

Upon hearing Todd's question, Rachel looked up at the sun, about to say something, when a sudden wave of dizziness caused her to fall to the ground.

Hearing the thud, Todd turned around and was immediately shocked. He rushed over to help the woman up, touching her forehead; the sensation was like a red-hot iron.

After nearly a month of constant travel, the constant psychological pressure, and the prolonged immersion in icy seawater, Rachel's body finally reached the brink of collapse. She could no longer hold on and collapsed completely.

At this moment, Todd was extremely anxious. Although a cold and fever were not considered minor illnesses in the Middle Ages, in the city of Muxi, as long as antibiotics were taken and a few days of rest were taken, it would be completely cured and was not a big deal.

The problem is that this is a desolate beach, all the luggage that came with the ship has disappeared, and even warm clothing is not guaranteed.

Looking at Rachel, who was feverish and unconscious in his arms, and then at Aisha, whose leg was broken not far away, Todd felt frustrated and wanted to shout. If he had the equipment and raw materials, he could extract medicine, but when it came to first aid in the wild, he was a complete novice.

etc!

Todd calmed himself down and suddenly thought of something: "If I'm not good at first aid, surely someone else is..."

He quietly closed his eyes and entered the world of his soul.

"Your Majesty!" Brother Joe exclaimed in surprise, looking at Todd standing opposite him. "You haven't held a meeting for two whole days... Uh? Why did you only summon me?"

Todd grabbed the other man's shoulder, anxiously asking, "I'm asking you! What should I do about a high fever caused by a cold and a broken leg?!"

The old monk was dizzy from being shaken by the king, but he still honestly offered the solution: "For treating a cold, you can use the fever-reducing solution developed by Muxi Academy. As for fractures..."

"No, what I want to ask is, how should one treat a cold and a fracture in the wild, without any medicine or equipment?"

"In the wild?" Cultivator Qiao was taken aback.

Todd nodded with a serious expression.

"Then it might be a bit complicated. First, for wind-cold, find *Vitex negundo*, *Corydalis yanhusuo*, *Fisheye bean*, and *Saccharigen*. Crush these four herbs, extract their juice, boil them, cool them, and then administer the medicine. If it's difficult to find all four, you can prioritize finding the first two. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the patient warm and prevent them from overexerting themselves." The old monk spoke while operating the computer, displaying the appearance of the herbs he remembered on the screen, and explaining some techniques and precautions.

"As for fractures, the first step is to determine the location and severity of the injury. Next, a splint is made, which can be crafted from readily available materials such as sticks or branches to immobilize the fracture. Before applying the splint, all areas in contact with the body should be padded with soft material to prevent further pressure and friction damage. Finally, bandaging is done, using either the 'butterfly' or 'bell' style, like this..."

Todd watched carefully, making sure he remembered every detail and step of the procedure. In the soul space, he spent another two hours practicing with the old monk several times, ensuring everything was correct before returning to reality.

Back on the beach, Todd first carried Rachel on his back, found a sheltered rock, and lit a campfire to keep the woman warm.

Then, he went into the woods and, following the instructions of the monk Joe, found some herbs and branches. He also turned over a stone slab with a dent, put the herbs into the dent, crushed them to remove the residue, and then put it on the fire to heat.

While the medicine was heating up, he found some branches, bark, and grass leaves, and following the monk's instructions, he secured Aisha's lower legs and carried her to the campfire.

After feeding the potion to Rachel and confirming that there were no safety hazards around, Todd quickly summoned the officials of Twilight City for a brief meeting. After telling everyone that he was safe and sound, he returned to reality.
