“That’s right, it was Xia He who sent them. So what? What do you want?” Lu Yuan deliberately showed a look of fear on his face. He wanted to make the other party lower their expectations of him so that he would get beaten less.
A smug look appeared on the man's face, and he said softly, "Hehe, you are already the fourth wave of people Xia He sent. The first three waves have already confessed, but I didn't expect that there would still be people coming one after another. You are really persistent!"
Lu Yuan immediately cursed Xia He in his heart. He never expected that Xia He would not have told him that so many people had been sent to do this task, and that three groups had already failed. He still sent Xia He, who was obviously just trying to trick him.
The man sneered and raised his whip to lash Lu Yuan, who could only grit his teeth and endure it, hoping that the other man wouldn't hit him too hard.
The other person raised the leather whip high in their hand. Lu Yuan closed his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly. Just as the whip was about to strike Lu Yuan, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Then Lu Yuan heard a loud shout.
"Mr. Lin is back! He's injured! Someone come quick!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately put away the whip, looked outside in disbelief, pointed at Lu Yuan, and said, "Consider yourself lucky. I'll teach you a lesson when I get back!"
Lu Yuan's hands and feet were tied to the iron frame. He was speechless. He didn't expect that Lin Qiang would actually come back. The anxious voices coming from the crowd in the passage clearly showed that there was no reliable doctor here.
"What happened to Mr. Lin? Why is there so much blood? We need to stitch him up right away!"
Another voice.
"I'm just an ordinary nurse, and I haven't even finished my internship yet. I wouldn't dare to treat such a serious wound. If I really made things worse, I couldn't bear the responsibility!"
"Damn it, hurry up and go find someone! How can we just watch Mr. Lin bleed to death like this!"
"Where are we going to find someone? There's no way we can find a doctor right now, okay? Don't you know that the survivor base has already taken all the urgently needed doctors back with them? It's extremely difficult to find a doctor outside now. We can't just go and beg the base to treat Mr. Lin, can we? If we go in, he'll definitely never come out!"
There was a moment of panic in the crowd, but one voice suddenly rang out.
"By the way, let's see if any of the people we arrested are doctors. If so, that would be even better!"
Then came a series of rapid footsteps from upstairs. Lu Yuan listened intently, and then he heard the door to the room two doors down be pushed open violently, followed by the clanking of chains. A man shouted sternly, "Are you a doctor? Can you treat gunshot wounds?"
Then came a commotion and desperate pleas for mercy, followed by the sound of the door being closed.
Then the door to the room next to Lu Yuan's was opened again, and the same scene unfolded as before. The man asked a question, and the other person seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then Lu Yuan saw a figure being dragged out of the room by an iron chain.
However, not long after, a gunshot was heard from upstairs, and then a group of people ran downstairs again. Lu Yuan was a little worried at this moment. These bastards would open fire without warning, which was completely disregarding human life. However, he could only appear very calm at this moment.
Sure enough, the third door to be opened was the one to Lu Yuan's cell. A young man walked in, looking anxious. He held a pistol to Lu Yuan's chin and asked, "Can you treat my wound? It's a gunshot wound!"
Lu Yuan chuckled, then glanced at the pistol in the other person's hand without saying a word.
"Damn it, I'm asking you a question, so answer it now, or I'll shoot you dead!"
Lu Yuan and the others laughed and said, "Is this how you beg for help? If you don't want Lin Qiang to die, you'd better take your pistol away right now, or I don't mind making him die with me!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's threat, the young man flew into a rage. He raised his whip to strike, but the middle-aged man beside him stopped him. Then, he said to Lu Yuan in a deep voice, "Are you saying you have a way to heal Mr. Lin's gunshot wound?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I have a way, but I need to check on Lin Qiang's injuries first. If he was hit in a vital spot, then I can't help him. And judging from your appearance, Lin Qiang must be seriously injured. If that's the case, the longer it's delayed, the worse it might get!"
A hint of panic flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but he remained calm and said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance. If you can cure Mr. Lin, then we'd like to release you and not pursue your responsibility any further!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, then looked around at the people and said softly, "Do you think your words carry any weight? Don't let me heal Lin Qiang's injuries and then turn around and discard him like a used tool. I'm not that stupid!"
The middle-aged man was furious, but he had no way to deal with Lu Yuan.
"So what do you want? I'm not the boss here, but I've told you everything except about Mr. Lin. I promise not to hold you responsible. As long as Mr. Lin wakes up, I guarantee I won't hold you responsible!"
Lu Yuan knew he couldn't continue bargaining with them like this. After all, his life was in their hands. If they really didn't intend to treat Lin Qiang anymore, he might die here in vain.
