Chapter 118 of "New Urban Farmers": Martial Arts Therapy! Breakthrough! (10,000 words updated)
The sudden pain, the cold sensation, and the bleeding from his thigh instantly soaked through the bandage, making it incredibly red. Zhang Guodong's thigh gradually went numb and then began to lose sensation!
Zhang Guodong panicked!
What should we do?
What can be done to stop this deterioration? Pills? But Elder Yi only gave him the Serpent Spirit Pill, not any other pills. He would have to refine the other pills himself later!
It's too late now!
Practice your boxing!
Yes, it's practicing martial arts! Practicing martial arts can channel spiritual energy into his bloodstream, which should greatly benefit the healing of his injuries. He firmly believed this! And he had to try!
Zhang Guodong hurriedly moved to the Taoyuan field without even glancing at the struggling Lin Baolong, and quickly assumed the starting stance of the mutated five-star fist!
The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They restrain and balance each other. The human body is like a balanced place of the five elements. Lacking any one of them may lead to physical defects. Water is gentle and has the miraculous power of restoration!
As soon as the Five Elements Fist was unleashed, spiritual energy from all directions within Peach Blossom Spring flowed into Zhang Guodong's body! The spiritual energy here was ten times denser than outside!
As blood seeped out of the wound again amidst the tremors, Zhang Guodong's face paled even more. But as the fist technique attracted more spiritual energy into his bloodstream, the small wound surprisingly stopped bleeding quickly. He even felt an itch, indicating that it was rapidly repairing and healing!
When Zhang Guodong started practicing the Mutant Five Elements Fist, he gradually forgot the pain in his thighs, the emptiness of his strength, and his own weakness. He became intoxicated by the mystery of the fist's trajectory!
call!
The set of boxing techniques seemed to take longer than usual, taking a third longer!
The bleeding had long since stopped, and under the influence of the miraculous spiritual energy, it was repairing itself at ten times the speed of an ordinary person! The pain returned!
"Excellent boxing skills!" Zhang Guodong exclaimed in delight.
He regained the strength in his thigh, although it was only one-tenth of the strength affected by the injury. But given more time, he could easily recover to two or three-tenths of his original strength!
This level of strength is comparable to that of an ordinary person; we can escape!
He didn't know what was happening outside, so he didn't dare to go out casually. Otherwise, although he could sense the danger, his body wouldn't be able to cooperate.
Feeling the power in his thighs and experiencing waves of itchiness made him even more convinced of the magic of this boxing technique and the magic of this spiritual energy!
"Go to the 100x zone, you might recover faster there!" Zhang Guodong tried walking, and although Yan Ran was in a lot of pain, walking was no problem at all.
Turning around, he saw Dahei, Erhei, Sixiaoqing, and the Da Sha couple all around him, looking at him with worried expressions. Even Lao Qing had come over!
They could all smell the blood!
The owner is injured!
For some reason, Zhang Guodong seemed to sense the concern and humanity in their eyes, and he felt a warmth in his heart.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Guodong and his nine beasts walked quietly towards Shanhe Peak. Zhang Guodong was afraid that Lin Baolong would hear Lao Qing and the others, so he walked far away, reaching the back of Shanhe Peak.
Even if he says something there, the other side won't hear it.
At this moment, Zhang Guodong just wanted his injuries to heal as quickly as possible; if he could recover to 40-50%, he could leave!
But Zhang Guodong seemed to have underestimated the miraculous effects of the 100x zone. Here, he could actually start practicing the fist technique a second time! Even a third time! A fourth time... By the tenth time, he felt like he had been pulled out of water. Finally, he could no longer practice the Five Elements Fist! The absorption of spiritual energy and the consumption of physical strength were finally completely broken to the limit on the tenth time!
With a thud, Zhang Guodong gasped for breath and plopped down on his bottom.
Tired! But it feels so good!
"It turns out that the concentration of spiritual energy outside was only enough for him to practice the fist technique once in one breath. But in the hundredfold zone, it was enough for him to practice ten times!"
That's equivalent to ten days of spiritual energy absorption and ten days of tempering!
The pain in my thigh had almost completely disappeared! But the tingling and itching sensation was intense!
How much time has passed in the outside world? How well has the wound on his thigh healed?
With a sense of anticipation, Zhang Guodong carefully removed the blood-soaked bandages from his thigh, layer by layer, until he reached the last layer.
"The bullet hole is almost gone?!" Zhang Guodong was both delighted and astonished upon seeing it. He was delighted that the bleeding had completely stopped, and that the hole was almost gone, as if the flesh was newly grown. He estimated that with another three or four days of rest, the wound should be completely healed!
Of course, the prerequisite is that you must practice punching ten times a day in the 100x zone!
The effect of practicing martial arts in this environment, allowing the spiritual energy to permeate one's flesh and blood, should be immense.
Surprisingly, despite absorbing a significant amount of spiritual energy from these ten repetitions of the fist technique, the wounds couldn't heal immediately—a far cry from the legendary feats! This spiritual energy is indeed miraculous, but its effects are not limitless!
"However, I should be content with what I have now, which is beyond people's imagination!" Zhang Guodong thought to himself.
Old Qing and the others stood up and continued to guard Zhang Guodong. They didn't seem to have eaten. Moved, Zhang Guodong rushed to the pool and brought over a tank full of blackfish!
Lifting a water tank weighing over 100 pounds is a piece of cake for him!
Back at Shanhe Peak, Lao Qing and the others scooped a mouthful from the water tank.
Zhang Guodong himself was enjoying vacuum-packed roast duck and a little wine, which was quite an interesting scene.
As for Lin Baolong and Zhang Guodong in the distance, just make sure they don't die. Forget about food for now. Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary trouble!
"Keeping this person around is a problem. What should we do? Should we hand him over to Jiang Lihan after we leave the mountain? Or Fatty? Lin Yue?" Zhang Guodong thought to himself as he tore apart the duck meat.
The police mobilized such a large force this time. If they can't catch the suspect and recover the Hundred Herbs Cauldron...
"Jiang Lihan and Lin Ju might be punished, right?" Zhang Guodong realized to himself.
What if we give it to them?
"That would be to perform meritorious service!"
Not to mention that the fat man's position meant that even if he caught the suspect, it wouldn't be of much help; instead, it would give his superiors the impression that he "only knows how to catch criminals," which would be a net loss.
But this is different for Jiang Lihan and Lin Yue. This is their job, and catching Lin Baolong would be a huge achievement!
If someone wants to advance, like Lin Yue, she could easily take on the role of deputy director. Although her ranking would be quite low, having the criminal investigation team leader also serving as deputy director would give her much more room for growth.
As for Jiang Lihan, it seems he doesn't have much of a relationship with me, right?
Forget it, let's just leave this person to Lin Yue, that ruthless abbess. After all, she's Li Yun's best friend. The benefits should naturally go to our own people.
I suffered this time for nothing, getting shot for nothing!
This kind of thing will serve as a lesson in the future.
After eating the duck, my belly was quite bulging and I felt warm all over, so it was time to go out!
The wound has healed by about 30-40%, and four or five hours have passed. It's about 11 p.m. now, so the battle in the mountains should be over by now, right?
"I'll sneak out, hey!" Zhang Guodong checked Lin Baolong and then knocked him unconscious with a karate chop!
Why do this?
Zhang Guodong isn't stupid; he can't let Lin Baolong know how much time has passed, otherwise how could he have been transferred out? The key is to eliminate most of the suspicion by fainting once and then waking up.
Therefore, Lin Baolong was wronged. He was knocked unconscious by Zhang Guodong again.
Night. The stillness has ceased.
A dark figure suddenly appeared behind a huge rock, but instead of acting immediately, he lay prone and listened to the sounds around him!
The gunshots have stopped!
There was no sound of human voices or footsteps within a 30-meter radius. The conclusion was: no one was there!
"They've all retreated?" Zhang Guodong asked, puzzled.
I wonder what the final outcome was. Were those people killed? Arrested? Or something else?
After lying in wait for a while, Zhang Guodong decided to dash back towards the return path!
The chase had begun behind them; the main force could only move in that smaller direction. He was now rushing back. Was he speculating, gambling that perhaps they hadn't returned?
Moreover, the distance here was too great; he really didn't want to stay in the mountains any longer. He had to heal his injuries as soon as possible!
Zhang Guodong moved cautiously, as swiftly as a ghost. His footsteps were light. Then he carefully sensed his surroundings. The smell of blood!
This must have been left from a daytime battle. There were no bodies left in those areas besides bloodstains, so they must have been taken away by the police!
The identities of these people are crucial! With Lin Baolong gone missing and the Hundred Herbs Cauldron falling into his hands, aside from those people, it seems this operation will yield nothing else.
Perhaps this is causing headaches for someone!
Nothing to show for it?
I wonder if Abbess Miejue will be furious? This woman actually told me to stop during the daytime chase. Haha, interesting!
Zhang Guodong turned back, but there seemed to be no movement. Had they all evacuated? Zhang Guodong's doubts returned. What if, just what if Mo Baolong and he were hiding in these mountains somewhere they didn't know?
We still need to be careful!
"Still no news?" Jiang Lihan and his men on the mountaintop hadn't left; only a third of their forces had been withdrawn. There were still three hundred men surrounding them.
He can't turn back now!
He can't go back and explain himself if he can't catch Lin Baolong. One can imagine how lively tomorrow's district standing committee and municipal bureau meeting will be, but it's not good news for him.
Deputy Squad Leader Zhao and Captain Luo didn't leave either. They were both ashamed of the mission's failure and felt a sense of shared misfortune, so Jiang Lihan stayed. They insisted on holding on for one more night!
"Chief, we only have four snipers who can observe from a distance. Forty-eight team members have infrared binoculars, but these are very limited and the search is very difficult. We can only wait for a miracle!" Lin Yue reported in a low voice.
She was lying in ambush on the side of the ravine, motionless, with a telescope and infrared equipment in her hand. This time, the equipment provided for the successful capture of Lin Baolong was top-notch! It was all borrowed from the military region.
About a hundred meters away on the other side, another observer was also squatting motionless.
If Zhang Guodong saw these people lurking in the mountains, he'd probably call them idiots. There are poisonous snakes in there! Nighttime is the perfect time for snakes to appear! Hunting!
At night, they rely on infrared sensors to identify prey and are more likely to attack! "Huh? Oh no!" Zhang Guodong quickly crossed eight meters and was about to crouch down when he discovered a person crawling in the bushes on the uphill slope thirty meters away! Had he been discovered?
Damn it, they really did leave people to investigate at night!
Zhang Guodong immediately moved closer to the man, deciding to go all in. Otherwise, if he was too far away, it would be even harder for him to hide!
Perhaps it would be easier to get close and then cross the ditch downhill right under their noses?
"It's actually Abbess Lin Yue!" However, when Zhang Guodong successfully infiltrated the area, the other party remained motionless, seemingly waiting for him to arrive. At a distance of only about twenty meters, Zhang Guodong knew who the other party was!
It was Lin Yueci, who was holding her breath, staring intently at herself, one hand gripping an infrared scope and the other a gun. She was completely unaware that Zhang Guodong could clearly "see" everything around him, including her, within a twenty-meter radius.
Zhang Guodong felt a little dizzy, as if he and Abbess Miejue were truly destined to meet. He had encountered her all along the way, and now she was right at the spot where he disappeared into Peach Blossom Spring!
Is this woman's intuition terrifying? Is she absolutely convinced that she's hiding in this very spot?
At this moment, Zhang Guodong was unaware that Lin Yue was very unwilling to admit defeat because she hadn't caught "that person." Zhang Guodong was very upset about it! Even though the distance was very close, she couldn't keep up with the other person's running speed, and she didn't hit him even after several shots!
She harbored a deep resentment towards that person and firmly believed that he was familiar with the terrain and must be hiding in this area, so she was unwilling to leave and was waiting.
Now it's all good!
"You've finally shown up after all your hard work! Hmph, you won't escape this time!" Lin Yue thought as Zhang Guodong got a little closer, then she'd shoot him in the leg, making sure not to hit his third leg! She wanted to see just who this guy was, with such high skill that he could escape even after being hit by bullets!
"At this moment, Zhang Guodong discovered something that made him very hesitant."
A snake was slowly approaching Lin Yue. Only two meters away! Nighttime is when snakes are most active, making it easier for them to hunt their prey!
Lin Yue and her group, in their haste to carry out their mission, neglected their personal safety! While admirable, they were also foolish, Zhang Guodong thought.
But the snake stopped crawling after a short while. It seemed to sense that its prey, Lin Yue, was a bit too big.
"Fortunately, snakes are quite intelligent!" Zhang Guodong breathed a sigh of relief.
But things happened by chance, and Lin Yue seemed to realize that Zhang Guodong was not stopping and was trying to find something, so she immediately decided to take action!
Xunwei Zhun Zhang Guodong's thigh. Again, legs!
Just then, the snake, thinking Lin Yue posed a threat, darted up and bit Lin Yue's wrist!
That speed was incredibly fast, almost in an instant!
"Ah!" Lin Yue cried out in surprise. With a bang, the bullet flew into the air!
Zhang Guodong had originally intended to leave, but now he didn't need to. If even a shot fired into the air could hit him, he would be completely convinced!
The gunshot shattered the silence of the mountain night.
Immediately, those hidden in the shadows began exchanging information.
"Who fired the shot? Have we spotted the enemy?" the crowd asked urgently.
"I fired the shot and spotted the enemy. But I was bitten by a snake, and the other person is near where I was sniped, everyone be careful!" Lin Yue suppressed her fear, grabbed the snake on her wrist, and flung it away.
My wrist feels a little numb; it must be poisonous!
"Captain, are you alright? What kind of snake was it?" Lin Yue immediately put down her gun, then pulled out a short rope and quickly tied it around her forearm to prevent the venom from reaching her heart!
"What should we do? Does anyone have any snakebite medicine?" Everyone was getting anxious over the phone. They had come in such a hurry that they had overlooked the fact that this was the time of year when snakes came out of their burrows and were hunting frantically everywhere.
"I'm fine, catching people is the priority!" Lin Yue said in a low voice. Her face was a little pale, partly from fear—most men and women are afraid of snakes—and partly because it was a venomous snake; her arm was starting to feel numb. She also felt a little dizzy; was it a premonition? Or the effect of the snake venom?
I'm afraid it's a combination of both!
Zhang Guodong sighed inwardly and moved towards her direction like lightning. He couldn't just stand by and watch her die; he cursed her inwardly for being all looks and no brains! He had heard everything she said!
Like someone with super hearing, even at a distance of twenty meters, no sound could escape Zhang Guodong's ears!
This woman didn't bring any snakebite medicine?
It's both funny and exasperating!
He experienced being bitten by a snake once, which deepened his understanding of some common sense: when hiking in the mountains, snakebite medicine is a must. Snakebite medicine is equivalent to a life!
