But he was still too late.
When he returned to the campsite, the car was gone, Old Lady Wu had been slashed and lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, and Li Jingjing was nowhere to be found.
Sun Wei was furious and suspected that the group of people had kidnapped Li Jingjing.
He first settled Old Lady Wu in a secluded place and bandaged her up, then took his pistol and broadsword and went to the gang's hideout.
Sun Wei's original intention was simply to rescue Li Jingjing, but he unexpectedly discovered that this group was not an ordinary bandit; they were organized and disciplined. Sun Wei also overheard them saying that the newly captured two-legged sheep looked quite good, and that they would let the leader enjoy it first before eating it themselves.
These people are clearly cannibals and bloodthirsty beasts. He couldn't even bear to imagine how terrible Li Jingjing would be if she fell into their hands. But fighting alone would only mean certain death, so he had to find a way to outsmart them.
So he used a feint, creating disturbances near the thieves' hideout and setting traps, so that they could deal with the thieves in batches when they sent people out to investigate.
This tactic could only be used twice; the third time, he almost got caught.
With the other party on guard, it wasn't so easy. In the end, Sun Wei drugged their water and, with the help of the pistol his uncle gave him, barely managed to rescue Li Jingjing, though he himself was seriously injured.
Because Li Jingjing refused to submit, she was given a long cut from her forehead to her chin. Unless she gets plastic surgery, she will have to live with this scar for the rest of her life.
But in this apocalyptic world, these scars are nothing.
The three of them rested in place for a few days, and then they happened to meet the people sent by Minister Sun to pick them up. After exchanging tokens, they arrived safely at the Northwest Base.
Otherwise, with all three of them injured like that, they would have to walk, and it would have taken them forever to get to the base.
Grandma Wu broke her arm and had other abrasions. There was no cast available; they just used a splint to immobilize it. After examining her, the doctor said she needed to be taken to the hospital for bone setting.
After listening to Sun Wei recount his entire experience, Xu Lin felt that they were both lucky and unlucky.
The doctor examined the medicine that was brought over and said it was all good medicine and could be used.
Xu Lin remembered that she still had some skin-regenerating and scar-removing ointment in her space, and she would bring it to Li Jingjing next time.
Sun Wei and the other two needed to rest, so Xu Lin and Zhou Pin left after sitting for a short while. Sun Wei and Minister Sun were very grateful for the medicine they brought.
In fact, Xu Lin knew that Minister Sun had called Zhou Pin to tell Sun Wei and the others the purpose of their visit, which was simply to ask them to deliver medicine.
Although the base is well-constructed, many things cannot be accomplished overnight. It will take several decades to restore it to its pre-apocalyptic state.
The base is now developing agriculture, which is just enough to solve the problem of food. If the weather gets cold, most people don't even have clothes, let alone any medicine.
Therefore, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin were undoubtedly there to help in their time of need.
Xu Lin was not offended by Minister Sun's behavior. On the one hand, they got along well with Sun Wei and the other two, and on the other hand, it was only human nature. Someone else might have directly extorted money from them.
Furthermore, since Xu Lin and her group were going to stay at the base for an extended period, being tied to Minister Sun would avoid a lot of trouble; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
After leaving Minister Sun's house, the two went to the commercial street.
After the house was renovated, Zhou Pin went to work immediately, and Xu Lin also began to plan her career.
Xu Lin wanted to start a small business, partly to pass the time when she was bored, and partly to avoid running out of money.
A commercial street is a street about 100 meters long with shops on both sides. They go to the shops to see what they sell and find some ideas.
