Chapter 40 First Glimpse of Her True Face



Xiao Jin flicked the head of the man in the white shirt. What a coincidence! This sense of familiarity was not unfounded. Looking at Tan Dong's face, which was a mess from being beaten, Xiao Jin couldn't help but think.

After examining his body, it was found that Tan Dong's legs were broken, and the blood on his body came from his wrists, which were tied to his chest.

It seemed the other party wanted to torture him by bleeding him out. Several gruesome gashes ran across Tan Dong's wrists, the flesh already white, and trickles of blood flowed out of the wounds. Although he wasn't dead, such a amount of bleeding was already very dangerous.

As usual, she first stopped the bleeding. She asked the two people outside the door to find some rope and sticks to fix the leg injury, since they couldn't go to the hospital right now, so they had to do it this way for the time being.

That's not difficult. There are a bunch of broken tables, chairs, and benches outside; you can easily find several.

Upon entering, Shang Fan gasped when he saw the healing spray in Xiao Jin's hand. He had one too; it was a life-saving item. He just hadn't expected Xiao Jin to give it to a native player in the game.

After carefully securing all the wounds, Shang Fan and Mao Liu moved Tan Dong to another single bed against the wall.

Xiao Jin got up and squatted down next to another victim. Just as he was about to lift the other person's head to check his injuries, a scene that stunned everyone happened.

Before Xiao Jin's hand could even touch the other person's hair, a large hand suddenly reached out from the other side and firmly gripped Xiao Jin's wrist.

His long, slender hand encircled Xiao Jin's delicate arm. There was a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips, and when he gripped Xiao Jin's hand, the skin rubbed against it, revealing a clear red ring.

Xiao Jin frowned. She hadn't been able to sense his movements. Who was this person?

The next second, the man slowly raised his head, and a thin face with a high nose appeared in front of Xiao Jin.

He wore a well-tailored light blue shirt with a dark gray wool sweater over it. It seemed as if he had just been in a fierce fight. The collar of his shirt was slightly open, and from Xiao Jin's angle, she could easily see a glimpse of red below.

There was a bruise on the man's head, about ten centimeters above his eyebrows, from which blood was seeping out.

Perhaps due to some pain, the other person's eyes were glazed over. After grabbing Xiao Jin's wrist, a familiar, clear voice rang out: "Xiao Jin, why are you skipping class again..."

After saying that, the other person closed his eyes and fainted completely, leaving Xiao Jin in the room with a blank look on his face, and Mao Liu behind him with his mouth agape in disbelief.

What's going on?

Mao Liu winked at Shang Fan.

They've been holding this kid for so long, why hasn't the boss cut off his hand yet?

Also, ...skipping class...what's the joke behind that?

Shang Fan rolled his eyes: You're asking me? Who should I ask?

After finally managing to pull the hand off Jian Xiuyun's wrist, Xiao Jin treated the wound on Jian Xiuyun's head with a strange expression.

This is really...

Funny jokes online are becoming reality? It's the apocalypse, and my advisor is calling me to class?

Xiao Jin, lacking the memory of this identity, naturally didn't recognize Jian Xiuyun. Had the other party not introduced himself, Xiao Jin would have already punched him based on his actions just now.

What a coincidence!

Xiao Jin was speechless. What kind of luck was this? She didn't know whether to say that the other party was lucky to be rescued after being seriously injured, or to say that she was unlucky, since she had just slashed the person before the acid rain.

The lounge wasn't big, so Xiao Jin and the other two had to go to the supermarket outside, leaving the lounge for the three patients.

When they came out, they realized that it had started raining outside, with a pattering sound mixed with a hissing sound of corrosion.

"Luckily there's a rest stop here, otherwise we probably wouldn't have made it through if we stayed in the car!" Shang Fan's expression was somewhat grave.

"Don't just stand there, throw them out, and then seal the windows." Xiao Jin suddenly spoke up, handing Shang Fan and another roll of transparent tape to each of them.

Mao Liu twitched his nose, a look of disgust on his face: "This smell~"

They taped the gaps in the windows and blocked the bottom of the door with rags. Oh, and before that, they threw out a few guys who were lying on the ground.

After all, they were going to rest inside, and it wouldn't be comfortable to have a dead body lying next to them!

Xiao Jin grabbed one foot with each hand, opened the door, and tossed the body away lightly. The body flew out with a whoosh, and Shang Fan and the other two followed suit.

There were still quite a few goods in the small supermarket. After moving the shelves, the group cleared a space and moved some bedding from the rest area so they could rest directly.

Xiao Jin sat on a recliner in the supermarket, holding a knife and staring blankly at the door of the rest room, while Mao Liu was scurrying around looking for food.

The small supermarket is not allowed to have open flames. The only cooking area originally had an induction cooker, but it couldn't be used anymore due to the power outage, and Mao Liu didn't mind.

He grabbed some self-heating rice, sealed duck parts, chicken legs, and beer and ran back. He looked at Xiao Jin and felt that it was a bit odd for someone like the boss to be eating duck legs with them, so he specially brought her some dried fruit, snacks, milk, bread, and small cakes.

Seeing Xiao Jin looking at him with surprise, Mao Liu blushed and was a little embarrassed. He put down his things, smiled, and went to find Shang Fan.

Opening the lid and smelling the sweet aroma of taro paste in her hand, Xiao Jin picked up a disposable spoon, gently scooped a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. The next second, her eyes lit up.

Mao Liu, on the other side, saw this and secretly rejoiced for a long time.

The heavy stench of blood lingered in the room, mixed with a pungent, acidic smell that greatly diminished everyone's appetite. At least Mao Liu and Shang Fan only ate a token amount.

Xiao Jin was completely unaffected. She ate most of what Mao Liu had brought, wiped her mouth and hands, got up and walked to the shelf, grabbed a small basket and stuffed it with a lot of food.

Especially sweet and sour dried fruits, cakes, and candies; it's said that people who are in a bad mood should eat sweets.

Walking to the lounge, I pushed open the door and went inside. Apart from Jian Xiuyun, who was still unconscious, Tan Dong and the woman had already woken up. At that moment, the two were embracing each other and pouring out their hearts to each other.

Upon hearing the door open, Tan Dong instinctively hid the woman in his arms, and was overjoyed when he saw that it was Xiao Jin.

"Xiao Jin, it's you!"

They only knew that someone had saved them, but Tan Dong didn't know that this person was actually an acquaintance.

He covered his eyes with his hands, his voice choked with emotion, "You really... saved me again!"

"Adong?" The woman next to him nudged him with her palm, avoiding his wound.

"Slurp!" Tan Dong choked for a moment before laughing, "This is Xiao Jin, the one I told you about before, the one who saved me on the road."

If it weren't for him, I would have either been crushed to death by the pillar or corroded to death by the acid rain, and I wouldn't have been able to get to your house to pick you up in time.

"So that's how it is!"
