There were scissors in the first-aid kit, so I gestured for Song Yi to cut open the back of my clothes. I had plenty of clothes in my storage space anyway. Song Yi obediently cut open my clothes and instantly felt a chill on my back. There was a slight comforting sensation on the exposed wound. Song Yi said anxiously, "Sister, how did you get this wound? It's so serious."
I laughed and said, "It's okay, just disinfect it, apply some medicine, and put on a gauze."
Song Yi immediately took out alcohol and cotton: "It might hurt a lot, sister, hang in there. If you can't bear it, just tell me."
I nodded and Song Yi began to disinfect my wound. When the alcohol-soaked cotton fell on the wound, my mind went blank from the pain, and I felt a pain in the back of my head. I gripped my clothes tightly, my face contorted in agony.
Song Yi was quite efficient, disinfecting, applying medicine, and bandaging in one go without any pause. After the medicine was applied, I gradually felt less pain and even felt a comfortable coolness. It truly lived up to its reputation as a highly effective medicine.
As I felt Song Yi put on the last piece of gauze, I smiled and turned around. In that instant, I seemed to see Jiang Kexin standing not far behind Song Yi, looking at me with hostile eyes. When I pretended to look over again unintentionally, Jiang Kexin had already turned her back to us.
I'm almost certain that this encounter with Jiang Kexin and the others wasn't sudden, but rather deliberately arranged. My injury was also part of the plan; she wanted me to enter the medical space and use up my only chance of using it today, so that I wouldn't have the ability to come back to life. There's just one thing I don't understand: if they wanted to obtain my skills, they could have just killed me. Why did they make me get injured to use my skills?
After bandaging the wound, I told everyone to move around freely. As they continued eating, I opened my phone with some concern and stared blankly at Ji Lin'an's chat window. It had been a while since I'd received a reply, so I figured he hadn't gotten his phone yet.
No matter what I do, I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching me. Every time I turn to look at Jiang Kexin, she's doing something else. Chen Hu doesn't talk much with Jiang Kexin, and he's not familiar with any of us. Most of the time, he sits on a rock not far from us with his back to us. I admire Chen Hu. Even though he knows the child isn't his, he still sticks with Jiang Kexin.
With nothing to do, everyone either slept or lay around in a daze. Jiang Kexin walked over and sat down next to me: "Oh right, I forgot to ask you, where is your boyfriend Ji Lin'an?"
I turned and stared at her for a few seconds. Jiang Kexin still had a smile on her face. Perhaps because I had been looking at her for so long, her eyes unconsciously looked down. I smiled and said, "They went to find a shelter."
Jiang Kexin continued with a smile, "Then why don't you go find them? Why do you have to split up?"
I said, "My companion, that little girl, she wasn't feeling well this morning, so we're resting here for now."
Jiang Kexin turned to look at Song Yi and smiled meaningfully: "I think she's much better now. Let's go find Ji Lin'an and meet up."
I shook my head: "It's okay, we can just wait for them here."
Jiang Kexin said, "Aren't you worried about them?"
I tried to smile nonchalantly: "There's nothing to worry about. He's not alone. He has a clairvoyant eye and another companion. All three of them are very skilled."
Jiang Kexin nodded: "I see. We can't stay here forever, can we? It'll be dark soon. Are you planning to rest here tonight?"
I was a little lost in conversation with Jiang Kexin. I glanced around and saw that there weren't many big trees nearby, and even the denser plants were shorter than a person, offering very poor cover. Although the view was wide, anyone coming from afar could easily spot us. It was definitely not a suitable place to hide.
I pretended to go to the restroom and temporarily left Jiang Kexin's sight, worried that she would see my concern. I hid behind a big tree and continued to send messages to Ji Lin'an on my phone. I stood behind the tree and looked at the main group. There were quite a few of us, which was too conspicuous. Currently, only An Xin, Song Yi, and I could use our skills. Chen Hu and Jiang Kexin's intentions were unclear, so it was uncertain whether they would help us if we encountered danger. Wu Feng and Dai Qiang were currently without weapons or skills, and their ability to protect themselves was insufficient.
After thinking for a while, I bypassed Jiang Kexin and went straight to An Xin. I pulled An Xin to a corner and whispered, "Use your clairvoyance to see if there's a suitable place to stay nearby, and also check if there's any sign of Lao Ji and the others."
An Xin nodded and took out his phone. I turned to the side to block An Xin, trying to prevent Jiang Kexin and Chen Hu from seeing him using his skill. An Xin looked at it for a while: "There's a river nearby, probably the same river we crossed the bridge with before. If we go that way after crossing the bridge, there's a forest. The forest there is quite dense, so we should be able to hide there for now."
I frowned: "But that would take us too far from Lao Ji and the others. If the supply center doesn't have any new phones, it'll be troublesome if they come back and can't find us. Why don't you look in the direction of the supply center and see if you can find any trace of them?"
An Xin searched the direction of the supply center: "Found something! There's a group of people about two kilometers away in a dense forest, but it seems to be two different groups of people, and they seem to be fighting each other... Wait, I saw Zhu Dachang."
I exclaimed with delight, "Zhu Dachang? Then Lao Ji and Qianliyan should be here too."
An Xin shook his head: "It seems not."
I was getting anxious: "Zhu Dachang is there, and Lao Ji and the others should be nearby. Let's go find them; they might be in a dangerous situation right now."
An Xin nodded, and I immediately walked over to everyone: "Come on, Lao Ji and the others are in danger not far away. Let's go rescue them now."
