The man with the buzz cut was completely stunned; his chin was bleeding from the fall.
Realizing that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person, the crew-cut man panicked. He didn't know what he should do to save Brother Sun.
Judging from his posture, he has no chance of defeating Qiao He.
So... so what should we do?
Just as the crew-cut guy was about to make a desperate gamble and fight Qiao He to the death, he suddenly heard Old Sun shout, "Stop hitting her, A-Guo! She's not an enemy, really, you believe me!"
Upon hearing what Lao Sun said, A Guo was stunned. He hurriedly ran to Lao Sun's side, blood still seeping from his chin, and the wound looked quite large.
A-Guo looked at Qiao He nervously, "Brother Sun, you... you said this girl isn't an enemy? Then what is she?! I saw her clearly tie you up, what's going on?"
Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly, with Lin Qiao and seven kittens standing beside her for support.
Before Qiao He could speak, Lin Qiao explained, "We are not your enemies, but rather your partners."
A-Guo's pupils constricted sharply. "Wh...what?"
cooperate?
What kind of cooperation are we doing with them?
They had no supplies at all, were so poor they were almost starving, and weren't any powerful superhumans.
Why did this young girl choose to cooperate with them?
A-Guo was completely dumbfounded.
He felt like he was dreaming, so he quickly went to ask Old Sun, "Brother Sun, is what they said true?"
Old Sun nodded: "Of course it's true, A-Guo. They're not bad people. We just need to be their bodyguards and protect them if they encounter danger. Besides, they have supplies, including the most precious medicine..."
Hearing this, A-Guo was even more shocked. Ignoring the injury on his chin, he jumped up and excitedly asked Qiao He, "Really? Is this true? Little sister, do you really have the medicine?"
At this point, what we eat doesn't seem to be so important; what's most important is the medicine that can save our lives.
You should know that several of his brothers have already died because there was no medicine available.
The other brothers have all fallen ill and probably won't last much longer. If they try to hold on for a few more days, they might not be able to make it.
Qiao He took out a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine from her pocket and said in a low voice, "Although I don't know what diseases your brothers have, I do have medicine and food on hand."
"As long as you agree to be bodyguards and risk your lives for us, we'll try our best to find you whatever medicine you need," Qiao He said calmly.
She knew these people were desperate and would naturally agree.
Furthermore, looking at Old Sun and this crew-cut man named A Guo, although both of them were starving and had almost lost all their muscle, they were clearly trained fighters and had some skill.
Most importantly, they value relationships and loyalty.
That's enough.
Even under such difficult circumstances, they did not abandon their seriously ill friend, which is truly remarkable in these end times.
Ah Guo was so excited he almost cried. He knelt down and kowtowed to Qiao He, "Thank you, little sister! Thank you so much!!! I'm so grateful. Don't even mention risking my life for you! Even if you took my worthless life right now, I would give it to you, as long as you can give us some medicine and some food..."
Ah Guo's head was faintly red from kowtowing. He crawled to Old Sun and said in a tearful voice, "There's hope, Brother Sun! We're saved...!!!"
Old Sun also had mixed feelings. He knew that he would finally not have to face the pain of losing his brothers.
Then Qiao He stepped forward and unlocked Old Sun's chains, extending her hand and saying, "My name is Qiao He, I'm just here to find someone."
She didn't say it was a lost cat.
After all, there's no need to say too much to this group of people.
Looking at Qiao He's clean hands, Old Sun hesitated to extend his own dirty hands. He wiped them vigorously on his pants before cautiously shaking hands with Qiao He.
“Sun Tianliang, we just want to survive. To be honest, we used to work as bodyguards and boxers, the underground kind who fight in black boxing matches…”
After saying this, Sun Tianliang seemed afraid that Qiao He would overthink it, so he immediately explained, "Although it's underground boxing, we're really not bad people! We're not vicious people either, we were just forced into it back then..."
Ah Guo sighed, "Little sister, you're so young and yet so capable. You must have suffered a lot. Don't worry, as long as my brothers survive... no, even if we can't save them in the end, Brother Sun and I will definitely risk our lives for you."
"Bodyguards are our specialty, so don't worry!" A-Guo said with a grin.
Qiao He was just saying she was willing to risk her life; after all, all she needed was for this group of people not to be bothered to death by the henchmen when they followed her into Z City. And with this group of people, she wouldn't have to worry about having no one to keep watch at night.
Qiao He nodded slightly, keeping a certain distance from the two people, and asked, "You said your brother is seriously ill, could you tell me the specifics?"
Sun Tianliang said in a deep voice, "I don't know exactly what the disease is, but it is definitely contagious. Some people have died from dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting... We don't have any clean water sources. We are lucky if we can collect clean dew."
Qiao He frowned slightly. "Diarrhea, vomiting?"
"Was it only a small group of people at first?" Qiao He asked again.
A-Guo nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, Miss Qiao, how did you know?"
“I suspect it’s caused by cholera,” Qiao He said in a low voice, then continued, “Here’s what we’ll do: we’ll give you some medicine to treat diarrhea and some anti-inflammatory medication.”
"After all, I'm not a doctor, so I can only try these medications for now."
Ah Guo said gratefully, "Sure, sure! We're not doctors, so all we can do right now is treat the symptoms. Also... Miss Qiao, could we please take some clean water?"
“If you don’t have it, that’s okay, I was just asking…” A-Guo said awkwardly.
Sun Tianliang knew that Qiao He and the others had clean water, after all, he had been literally woken up by being splashed with water.
"Yes, don't worry, I will give you the supplies you need right now." After saying that, Qiao He led Lin Qiao and the kitten back into the house.
We must not let these two people see us when we are retrieving supplies. Although they are not bad people, we should always be wary of them.
So Qiao He prepared food and water for more than a dozen people, as well as some medicine.
It's enough to feed them for a day.
The reason they didn't give them several days' worth of supplies at once was because Qiao He was afraid they would turn around and leave after receiving the supplies.
