After everyone at K3 base had left the room, Xu Yi took out a high-end surgical pod from his spatial storage.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. This operating room was a loot he had looted on the highway when he met Zhang Xiaojuan before.
Xu Yi disassembled the cabin into several large pieces and placed them on the RV. When the base was packing up, they were gone.
She hadn't noticed this detail at all; otherwise, she would have discovered Xu Yi's clues much earlier.
Lu Song's injuries were extremely serious, and with Lu Sheng assisting Xu Yi, the surgery lasted for a full seven hours.
He suffered varying degrees of damage to all his internal organs. Fortunately, Xu Yi was a highly skilled doctor, and Lu Sheng had stockpiled an ECMO machine, which saved his life.
The incision was finally stitched up close to midnight.
Xu Yi tied two perfectly symmetrical little bows at both ends of the surgical sutures at the wound.
Lu Sheng: "..."
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder are truly obsessive about every detail.
"The wound should not get wet, you should not eat spicy food, and you should try to avoid movement."
After seven hours of intense surgery, Xu Yi showed no signs of fatigue, while the bespectacled young man anxiously waiting at the door looked ten years older.
"Big sister, from now on, wherever you point, I'll do it. I'll be your slave to repay you!"
The tall boy, nearly 1.8 meters tall, was crying his eyes out, wiping his snot and tears with his sleeve as he stammered.
"Just stop asking me for help, you and your brother Lü."
Lu Sheng smiled faintly, "Take good care of him, we're going back to the hotel to rest."
"You're leaving? Then hurry up, this hotel closes at 11:50 every night, and if you stay any later you won't be able to leave."
Lin Xiaobao glanced at the time and hurriedly led Lu Sheng and the others downstairs, finally managing to get them out just before the shop closed.
As soon as Lu Sheng and her companions left the hotel, they saw the owner immediately lock the door from the inside, looking terrified.
A full moon hung in the center of the night sky, and the rain that had lasted for many days finally subsided a bit.
"Small hotels usually get a lot of business late at night. Does this owner even know how to run a business?" Zhang Xiaojuan asked curiously.
Han Rui skipped along beside Lu Sheng, saying, "There seems to be an unwritten rule around here that all the shops near the riverbank close at midnight. I heard there's a sea monster there!"
"What do you mean 'sea'? This is all man-made river."
At the river mouth, several figures hid in the alley and watched Lu Sheng and his group from a distance.
"Sister Fen, when do we make our move?"
In the darkness, a strong young man spoke in a sinister tone.
"Wait for them to come over, then attack them all at once and kill that bitch first!" The only woman in the group glared fiercely at Lu Sheng and said through gritted teeth.
The young man behind the woman hesitated. "Sister Fen, there are quite a few of them. Aren't we going to get taken advantage of? That woman is ruthless!"
"What are you afraid of! Apart from that bastard and the guy with glasses, the other four are just good-for-nothings who only know how to eat. We've been following them for two days already!"
"Achoo! I sneezed twice in a row. Who's cursing me?" At this moment, Zhang Xiaojuan, one of the four good-for-nothing eaters, suddenly sneezed.
"superior!"
In the darkness, the woman gave the order.
Several figures rushed out of the night towards Lu Sheng and the others, surrounding them at the mouth of the riverbank.
The woman in the lead wore a black tight-fitting vest and black cargo pants, and her short hair was neat and capable.
"Robbery or rape?"
Zhang Xiaojuan subconsciously hugged her backpack full of crystal cores tightly to her chest. "You can take care of the robbery yourself, but don't bother with the others."
Lu Sheng coldly sized up the group of people who seemed to have ill intentions, then listlessly fiddled with his nails.
"You wretch, today is your death day!"
The woman's eyes burned with fierce hatred as she swung a water jet at Lu Sheng and the others.
The remaining men quickly drew their weapons and rushed forward, each strike aimed at a fatal spot.
"Holy crap, are you serious?"
Zhang Xiaojuan quickly used her earthen shield to block the woman's first wave of attacks, and then immediately released several sharp earthen spikes in the direction in which the opposing group was charging.
His speed ability was already among the best in the fourth tier, but the short-haired woman moved quickly and easily dodged Zhang Xiaojuan's earth spikes.
Instead, he used the momentum to step on the soil spikes and quickly rushed towards Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
It turns out to be a dual-elemental ability, a fourth-tier water elemental ability plus a fourth-tier strength and speed ability.
"You killed my husband, so today I'll send you down to kowtow and beg for forgiveness!"
The water dragon in the short-haired woman's hand transformed into a sharp spear, which she thrust forcefully towards Lu Sheng's chest.
"Zhao Tuo's wife?"
Lu Sheng's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he casually snapped his fingers with his right hand.
The electric python was unleashed, howling as it tore the flowing water spear to shreds.
The powerful voltage was conducted through the flowing water to the woman's arm, making her palm go numb and causing her to take several steps back.
"What the hell? How can such a scumbag have a wife? And she's so devoted to him!"
Sun Tiantian looked puzzled. "You're so serious about avenging your husband, but before he died, all he wanted was to have a harem of women. Was it worth it?"
"Stop trying to sow discord!" The short-haired woman snapped angrily, turning to pounce on Sun Tiantian. "He's just playing around with other women. I know he only loves me!"
The short-haired woman's water-flow spear solidified again, and with a twist of its tip, it pierced straight into Sun Tiantian's neck.
"Pah! What an outrageous statement from the eldest daughter-in-law!"
Sun Tiantian angrily summoned an ice wall to block the attack, but the short-haired woman flashed and reappeared high in the air, her flowing spear aimed directly at Sun Tiantian's back.
"He's asking for it."
Lu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he drew his long sword.
A cold glint appeared in the night as Lu Sheng's Tang sword drew a sharp arc in the air, severing the woman's right arm that was holding the gun.
The broken-armed wheel reached the riverbank and tumbled into the river with a splash.
The short-haired woman screamed and fell to the ground like a rag.
The other people were also beaten up by the four good-for-nothing diners, screaming in pain, and stumbled back to the riverbank.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, the shrill scream from that night echoed through the calm and peaceful scene.
It sounds like an animal, yet also like a human toddler's voice.
Sharp and eerie.
Thick mist gradually rose from the water's surface, while beneath the calm surface, bubbles churned and bubbled.
"There's something there!"
Zhuangzhuang suddenly spoke up to warn him.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and countless dark shadows gradually rose from the water's surface.
Suddenly, countless eerie lights rose into the night.
It's like pairs of eyes rising from the water, peering into the artificial river.
"Holy crap, what is that?!"
Suddenly, someone among the group of people by the river shouted!
Glug!
A dark shadow leaped from the river, suddenly biting the man's neck and dragging him into the water!
"Sister Fen! Help me!"
