Chapter 65

Yun Jiu and Yan Ning's first reaction to the sudden appearance of the mining bugs was to be alert.

I have never seen such a strange insect. Although it looks bigger than ordinary insects, it does not look ferocious.

More importantly, these insects were very concerned about them, but they did not give them a sense of danger... For a moment, Yan Ning and Yun Jiu were a little confused.

"What do they want to do?" Yan Ning asked nervously as she looked at the white ball worms approaching her.

"I don't know." Yun Jiu shook his head.

The next second, the leading miner approached them and began to make a gurgling sound. Seeing Yan Ning and Yun Jiu step back, it tilted its head and aimed its first contact at Xie Xingyue, who was bleeding profusely and looked near death.

Yan Ning and Yun Jiu were stunned. Over there, under the command of the captain of the mining bug team, two mining bugs were putting Xie Xingyue on their backs and then moving towards the tunnel they had dug.

"They wouldn't want to take us back as food reserves and eat us, right?" An idea popped into Yan Ning's mind.

Not really. After all, we all have the word "insect" in our bodies. Maybe eight hundred years ago, the family ate it...

Yun Jiu carefully observed the insect's waving forelimbs and its attitude. After a moment's hesitation, he said unsurely, "It seems they just want to take us away."

After carrying away the injured who could not move, the mining insect in front of Yun Jiu pointed at himself and the dug hole with his front paws, then took a few steps forward to signal them to follow.

They had no ill intentions, and Yun Jiu's intuition told him that following them would be safe. He pursed his lips and said, "Let's follow them."

"Brother Yun Jiu..."

"We don't know when we'll be rescued if we stay here. They seem to have dug a passage that might lead to the outside world."

Yan Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'll listen to you."

"Let's go." Yun Jiu followed the mining bug that was carrying Xie Xingyue.

There are five mining bugs in this team. Two of them are leading the way and carrying the cargo in front, while the remaining three continue to dig deeper into the passage where Yun Jiu and the others are.

The order of His Majesty the Overlord is to rescue all the Tianjia Zerg who are buried underground and unable to leave due to the mine collapse. Each team has its own area, and they can only return to His Majesty the Overlord after all the rescue efforts are completed.

Inside the tunnel dug by the mining worms.

The interior of the passage was not very spacious, but it was more than enough for passing through. Yun Jiu noticed that there were a lot of ores every few meters on both sides of the passage... No, it was more like pure crystal ore bodies than ores.

Ore is something that looks like stone on the outside and is the main content of their daily excavation. However, the pure black and transparent crystal ore inside is different. Yun Jiu has only seen this kind of ore once in the two years he has been excavating.

…but it’s everywhere here.

Where do these ores come from?

Were they dug out by these insects that were digging tunnels as if to save them?

I've never seen them in the mining area before. When did they appear? And why did they come to save me?

Where will they take me now?

Doubts popped up in Yun Jiu's mind one after another, but he couldn't find the answers. The insect in front of him obviously couldn't speak.

Xie Xingyue had already fainted while being carried, otherwise he would have been frightened by his current condition. Yun Jiu suddenly felt a little envious when looking at him.

Fainting might not be a bad thing. No matter what you have to face next, you won’t feel pain even if you are eaten.

The miners were very agile. The closer the accident site was to the abandoned mine tunnel No. 1, the faster they were rescued. Qi Heng waited for a short time before the first batch of female miners were brought back.

Most of these female insects had some injuries on their bodies, but fortunately most of them were minor injuries and there were not many seriously injured ones, otherwise he would have to worry that the medicines brought from Base No. 2 would not be enough.

For Zerg, minor injuries can be healed on their own by simply bandaging them and waiting for a while, but for serious injuries, you cannot expect them to heal on their own.

Therefore, after calculating his approximate needs, he brought hemostatic spray, a small amount of bandages and some anti-inflammatory drugs.

There is no need for more.

In the empty rock cave dug by the miners, Qi Heng stood in the middle and distributed the medicines in the cloth bags to the seriously injured patients, and told their companions nearby how to deal with these serious injuries first.

These female insects were frightened by the mining insects at first, but later followed the mining insects. Some of them were seriously injured and could not resist, while others were desperate and thought they would die if they stayed where they were, so they simply followed.

Another small group had a conflict with the mining bugs, and were knocked unconscious and dragged away by the mining bugs.

Don't underestimate the fighting power of the mining bugs. In order to complete the tasks assigned to them by the Lord, they can exert 200% of their strength... Even now, these half-crippled Tianjia female bugs are really no match for them.

Qi Heng squatted in front of a female insect with bleeding left shoulder. Minor injuries and bandaging could be left to others, but injuries like this had to be treated by himself.

After all, none of the female insects present knew how to deal with this kind of injury.

The scapula is fractured and dislocated, requiring splinting after bone correction. A0 scanned the injury and laid out a treatment plan, each step meticulously detailed.

In the absence of a doctor, Qi Heng had no choice but to go ahead.

With the help of system identification, star power can promote wound healing, and there is also mental power... As a novice, Qi Heng did not encounter any other problems except that he used a little more force.

A mining bug handed over two thin slices of obsidian crystal, about 0.5mm thick. Qi Heng took them and completed the final step but couldn't fix them.

"Thank you." The rescued female insect expressed her gratitude.

He hummed, stood up, and walked towards the other female insects. The rescued insects were very easy to talk to after seeing their own kind. After all, he had saved them - and he was the only one who could save them at the moment, so they all behaved very cooperatively.

Qi Heng knew that they had questions in their minds, but he did not answer them one by one. That would be a waste of time. It would be better to wait until everyone gathered.

This was the scene that Yan Ning and Yun Jiu saw when they arrived.

In the cave, there were female insects lying or sitting, covered in dust. The insects that brought them here took them to a place and then left, with no intention of taking care of them at all.

"What's going on here?" Yan Ning was a little confused.

Could it be that everyone here was saved by the white worm just now? This is too unbelievable.

"Are we saved?"

Yun Jiu had been observing his surroundings since a while ago. He bent down and looked at the female insect sitting next to him. "Were you also brought here by that strange insect?"

The female insect being questioned nodded. Her right leg was fixed with a splint and could not move. It was obvious that the injury had been treated.

"The female insects here were brought here by those insects."

"Your friend looks seriously injured. Wait until the doctor comes and ask him to check on your friend."

Yun Jiu didn't explain that Xie Xingyue was their new acquaintance. He just asked in surprise, "Doctor?"

"Look, that's the female insect." The female insect said, raising her finger and pointing at the man who was treating someone's wound a few dozen meters away.

"He is the 'doctor'. He cured all the insect bites here."

Seeing Yun Jiu remained silent, the female insect added, "Those white insects all obeyed the doctor. We all assumed they would save us, which must have been the doctor's intention."

"Brother Yun Jiu, Xingyue's face is so hot." Yan Ning, who was looking after Xie Xingyue, suddenly said.

far away.

Qi Heng stood up and walked towards where Yun Jiu and the others were.

A0 reported to him the moment Yan Ning and the others arrived. Thinking that neither of them was injured within the [time], he decided to treat the injured person first.

Unexpectedly, A0 suddenly informed him that there was a seriously injured patient there, and Yun Jiu's arm seemed to have been broken by a heavy object, which was different from what happened in [Between Time].

Fortunately, he had anticipated this and was not surprised. After all, reality is always different from simulations, and the future is changing all the time. Being able to grasp most directions through [time] is already a cheating ability.

Qi Heng's current appearance and looks are very different from his original self. Even if he were standing in front of him, he would not recognize that it was himself.

While waiting for the miners to rescue him, he thought for a while and decided to add some settings to this fake identity. So the female miner codenamed "Doctor" appeared in the gray fog in a natural way.

Although his skills as a doctor were extremely poor, and under A0's guidance, he was no better than a barefoot doctor, and he practiced medicine without a license, special cases required special treatment. Who says someone with poor medical skills can't be called a "doctor"? Look, he's saved many female insects, hasn't he?

Qi Heng walked up to Yun Jiu and the others, looked at the female insect beside Yan Ning, and said, "His injuries are very serious. Let me check him first."

Seeing that the female insects around him all seemed to trust each other, Yun Jiu no longer hesitated and said directly, "Excuse me, doctor."

[A0, what's the situation?]

[Your Excellency, the situation regarding his injuries is very grim and cannot be fully treated under current conditions.] A0's tone was somewhat grave.

[The thigh bone is fractured, and the lower leg is comminuted. The heavy object crushed him so severely that the muscles and nerves have begun to necrotize... To fully heal such injuries, a medical cabin and cell repair fluid or special drugs that can regenerate the shortened limb are needed.]

[Also, his wound became inflamed and caused a high fever... But treating this is much easier than regenerating a shortened limb.]

[…Save his life first, and we’ll take care of the rest later.] Qi Heng said to A0 in his heart while tending to his injuries.

A0 detailed the steps of the treatment method before him, and said as always: "Your decision is always correct."

Yun Jiu and Yan Ning were a little skeptical at first about whether the 'doctor' could really cure Xie Xingyue. After all, Xie Xingyue's wounds looked too horrific, and she had started to have a fever... But they didn't expect that under the other party's treatment, Xie Xingyue's body temperature showed a tendency to drop.

After unwrapping the hastily bandaged wound, Qi Heng looked at the calf where almost no bones could be seen. With a steady wrist, he removed the broken bones and used a knife to remove all the flesh below the knee.

Judging from his current appearance, he really looks like a doctor who cures illnesses and saves lives.

Use hemostatic spray and anti-inflammatory drugs and then use star power to burn the wound closed. Performing amputation surgery in such a simple environment can be said to be extremely irresponsible to the patient.

[Master, don't worry. The risk of infection is only 30%. With follow-up medication, there will be no problem.]

[Yeah.] That’s all I can do.
