It hurts! It hurts so much! Why does my body feel like it's on fire? It feels like bugs are crawling in and out of my chest, constantly tormenting me.
I woke up with a painful look on my face and gritted my teeth. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Alpha sewing the wound on my chest with needle and thread, his red pupils staring at my chest.
"ah!"
I screamed suddenly, and Alpha was startled by me. His body trembled slightly, but his hands still held the needle and thread tightly.
Alpha's face was extremely unhappy because of my shouting: "Why did you yell as soon as you woke up? I almost ripped the string off."
I looked at the wound on my chest, which was almost stitched, but I still felt a lingering fear: "Has my wound been disinfected? Are you going to sew it up right away?"
Alpha looked at my panic with disdain, and gently bit off the thread near my chest with his neat two rows of teeth, and then threw the remaining needle and thread onto the broken floor.
"I'm not stupid. After all, I had some experience as a human. I'm not so ignorant of this kind of common sense."
When Alpha said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face.
I felt relieved when I heard this. "That's fine, but where did you get the medicine? The medicine in my storage tank seems to be damaged. Is it still usable?"
"Oh! You mean the medicine I applied to you? I found it everywhere to treat the little white cat, but it wasn't very effective and it's expired."
Alpha waved his hand casually and said this expressionlessly.
"Ahaha! You really are worried sick about the little white cat... Wait! This damn expired medicine! How dare you give it to me?"
I yelled at Alpha in panic, while looking down at my wound that had been stitched up. There was nothing unusual.
"It's just that the needlework is pretty good! Wait, no, this is expired medicine! Don't you know that expired medicine is a big problem? Don't you know that expired medicine is not allowed during wartime?"
I began to check my body constantly and screamed.
"Yes! Yes! You are right."
Alpha raised his right hand, touched his head, and placed his left hand on his scabbard. He seemed to be very troubled by my shouting. He replied perfunctorily and turned around to tease the cat.
After complaining, I stood up and looked around. This was a building that was so dilapidated that it couldn't be broken anymore in the tens of thousands of destroyed cities. There were not even a few decent walls on the empty flat.
Looking around, all I could see was a scene of desolation, but fortunately it was daytime. If it were night, it wouldn't be surprising to see a few ghosts appearing here.
There are nearly a hundred kinds of medicines around me, including bruises and trauma medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, hemostatics, epinephrine, and all kinds of things, but most of them are expired.
The production date and patient classification on the bottles have been worn away. The pills in some bottles have stuck together and are oozing out unpleasant-smelling brown mucus that makes you vomit.
I tentatively asked Alpha, "Didn't you collect all these medicines from hospitals in abandoned cities all over the place?"
Alpha was less than ten meters in front of me, sitting cross-legged on the ground, stroking the little white cat's soft hair, and feeding the kitten with the canned food I brought from the storage trough.
Alpha didn't respond to me, but nodded slightly. The midday sun shone through the broken building and onto Alpha's body. His straight back, flowing white hair, and broken shadows were very charming.
I touched the wound on my body and felt that there was nothing wrong, so I tried to stand up. As a result, as soon as I stood up, I felt a sharp pain in my upper body and I screamed in pain.
“Ah! It hurts…”
Alpha let his white hair fall down, covering his right eye. He was speechless at my continued standing despite my injuries. "You've been unconscious for three days and just woke up. You might as well just lie down. Don't ruin the stitches you just made. I don't want to sew you up again, unless you want to try that expired medicine again."
I gritted my teeth and put on my coat, then I noticed a problem and a wicked expression appeared on my face: "Are you going to take off my clothes yourself? What do you think of my body? Ah! I'm so shy. Will the Ascender think about it?"
Alpha's face showed an extremely disgusted expression. "Can you please stop being so disgusting? Do you want to see what your body looks like? The skin on your abdomen and chest has been worn away. It's all flesh and blood. What's so good about it?"
At this time, the little white cat finished eating the can and stretched out its little head to lick Alpha's fingers. Alpha was very happy with the warm and moist licking.
"Do you usually live here? Where's your sister? Do the ascended have a home?"
I walked to Alpha and said this while looking at the abandoned city outside the building. But it was obvious that this sentence was not thought through. Words blurted out could easily hurt others.
When Alpha heard what I said, his heart was touched for a moment, and his pupils contracted. But looking at the abandoned city illuminated by the sun, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and answered.
"You, do you like to pry into other people's privacy so much? Since you are a pervert, maybe this is not so strange."
I could sense Alpha's reluctance from these gloomy words, so I stopped asking questions and decided it would be better to take it slow. "Sorry, I'm just a little curious."
