Chapter 251: Chapter 117 Out of Oil and a Burnt Wick_2

"Su Lei... Su Lei..."

Gao Xin called out, but Su Lei did not respond at all.

Su Lei, it’s no use...

Seeing this, Gao Xin did not hesitate for a moment and stuffed the top-shaped crystal into Su Lei’s wound.

In an instant, with Su Lei at the center, the surrounding air whirled, and his energy quickly recovered; he opened his eyes, while his missing flesh was also inch by inch being replenished.

For him, a Grade B healing agent naturally had an intense effect, directly snatching Su Lei back from the brink of death.

Gao Xin lay shoulder to shoulder with him, his neural tentacles trying to feel that effect as much as possible.

He felt it somewhat but still hadn’t learned it.

After all, that was someone else’s body and ultimately not his.

Gao Xin smiled slightly with regret, then lay down relaxingly beside him and closed his eyes.

"Uh ah... Nice!"

Su Lei quickly came to and propped himself, looking around.

Seeing no enemy in sight and Gao Xin lying beside him, lifeless with a regretful smile on his face, he was startled.

"Bro, don’t you die on me!"

Su Lei’s eyes were nearly splitting, unable to feel Gao Xin’s heartbeat or vitality.

However, after being shaken a bit, Gao Xin opened his eyes.

"Stop shaking me, let me rest a bit."

Su Lei urgently said, "Don’t fall asleep on me!"

Gao Xin’s voice was barely audible, "Don’t worry, I can’t die, I’ve survived genetic collapse, this is nothing..."

Su Lei said anxiously, "Then why do you look so regretful?"

"I didn’t get to use such good medicine, of course I regret it." Gao Xin’s eyes were too lazy to open, drowsy and heavy.

"Why did you give the medicine to me, bro?" Su Lei asked.

Gao Xin snorted with laughter, "Giving it to you, I can hold on and not die; giving it to me, you would undoubtedly die."

Su Lei’s tears flowed, and he sobbed uncontrollably.

He knew all too well the series of battles they had today and how severe Gao Xin’s injuries were.

Pushing the limits over and over, by now, he was utterly spent.

"Alright... stop mourning, I’m not going to die."

"The enemies have retreated... the rest is up to you... let me... rest for a while..."

Having said that, Gao Xin closed his eyes.

He looked as if he were truly dead.

His body was gray and withered, battered, his heart no longer beating, thin as kindling.

But in reality, he still retained a sliver of clarity in his brain, preserving himself in a feigned death state, surviving at the minimum level.

When his genes had previously collapsed, he lay in the wilderness for three days and nights; it was not without reason.

He had never used a Grade B healing agent, naturally longing to try it.

But Su Lei didn’t have his abilities; if he had used it, Su Lei would have died, so he had to forgo it.

Wiping away his tears, Su Lei immediately hoisted Gao Xin onto his back and tied him up.

He chased in the direction where everyone had broken through before.

The Grade B healing agent was indeed powerful; wherever he passed, whirlwinds danced wildly.

He plucked some plants and chopped some branches to stuff into his stomach, which visibly transformed into a liquid metal-like substance, then healed over different parts of the body.

Additionally, Su Lei had been hit by too many bullets before, many still lodged inside him.

At least three or four pounds of bullet heads, now gone.

The top-shaped crystal was like a nanomaterial converter, automatically absorbing and dissolving surrounding matter to heal injuries.

It could become a crystal, liquid, or even gas depending on the situation.

Su Lei could feel that each time it transformed some external matter, this nano-converting liquid would use up a bit, decreasing more and more.

This cycle repeated, and Su Lei’s injuries improved dramatically; he was energetic and mostly healed.

His steps were swift as he scaled mountains, searching for traces of his comrades.

Truth be told, he was a bit lost.

"Why isn’t there a scent left by the pack of wolves?"

Scratching his head, Su Lei wondered, "Could it be... they deliberately covered their tracks when they escaped?"

He didn’t know that when his teammates left, they thought him and Gao Xin were dead...

Cassandra had some skills from living in the mountains, deliberately staying behind the group to cover their tracks and scent so that enemies wouldn’t follow.

Su Lei, unable to find his teammates and worried for Gao Xin’s safety, ran towards the outskirts of the mountain.

About half an hour later, he saw a cluster of buildings, evidently having arrived at a village.

"Finally found a village."

"Anyway, everyone was supposed to come to Lin’s Village, if I run directly there, wouldn’t that be okay..."

With a smile, Su Lei carried Gao Xin over.

The village was small, not nearly as grand and vast as Yamaguchi Village.

A high wall surrounded the central cluster of buildings, with numerous shacks outside forming a marketplace, reminiscent of the layout between the Heavenly Guardian Tower and the town below it.

Upon closer inspection, why did everything have the architectural style of the Japanese?

Su Lei paused, not daring to approach the central area, only daring to wander around the marketplace on the periphery.

It was midnight, yet there were still people on the streets.

There were Japanese, as well as many Caucasians and Africans, all kinds of people; in fact, the Japanese weren’t especially numerous by comparison.

This relieved Su Lei, and quickly, in the streets of the marketplace, he found a pharmacy.

The pharmacy was tucked away in a corner, apparently a traditional medicine shop, exuding the scent of herbs as soon as one entered.

Looking up, he saw a sign reading ’Revenge Pharmacy’.

Su Lei’s mouth twitched, thinking what kind of bizarre name is that?

He stood at the entrance and asked, "Is anyone there? Can you treat injuries here?"

"Or is this a place that sells poison?"

A bald old man emerged from behind the counter with two kitchen knives and a wine gourd hanging at his waist.

Seeing Su Lei covered in blood, carrying an even more battered casualty, the old man yawned and said, "This is an herbal shop, we don’t sell AI potions."

"But I can have a look at external wounds."

Immediately, Su Lei brought Gao Xin in and laid him on a sickbed deep inside the pharmacy.

The bald old man came closer to look and was speechless: "No way, buddy, are you messing with me? Isn’t he dead?"

Su Lei quickly waved his hands: "No, no, my big brother is not dead!"

The bald old man didn’t even need to check the pulse, because Gao Xin’s heart wasn’t beating at all; he simply placed his hand on Gao Xin’s forehead, silently feeling it.

It took him quite a while to sense anything, then he said in amazement: "Indeed, he’s not completely dead. Amazing, to be injured like this, with only the last remnants of brain activity holding on, what a strong will to live?"

Su Lei asked, "Can you treat him? Money is no object."

The bald old man’s face took on a strange expression, and he couldn’t help but retort, "If money is no object, why didn’t you go to the Silver Tower instead?"

"Why come to my shabby shop? You’ve seen it, this place is mainly for the poor or the ’glass people’ to get treatment."

Su Lei lowered his head: "Sorry, I didn’t bring any money..."

"But my teammates will soon come to Lin’s Village, and I’ll have them pay you then; if the money’s not enough, I’ll make up with the meat of a Radiant Beast."

Upon hearing this, the bald old man was even more astonished: "Huh? What are you talking about?"

"This is Yoshihara Village..."

Su Lei was struck as if by lightning: "Yoshi... Yoshihara Village?"

Damn, he had gone the wrong way.

Lin’s Village was to the northeast, whereas Yoshihara Village was due north by northwest.

In the dimness of the night, Su Lei couldn’t distinguish the direction, thinking he was heading east, but in fact, after crossing mountains and ridges, he had unwittingly deviated from his intended path.

Plus, without finding his teammates, he was anxious to locate a village, so he headed towards the lights from a distance, not realizing it was Yoshihara Village.

"Old man! Can you treat my brother first? I promise to pay you back," Su Lei begged, clinging to the old man’s legs with tears in his eyes.

The bald old man’s mouth twitched, noticing the faint whirl of Qi at Su Lei’s wounds, he appeared contemplative.

Then, tilting his head, he asked, "Strange, you’re a wolf-level who has taken a B-level healing potion, yet he’s a tiger-level at death’s door. Are you really brothers?"

Su Lei pursed his lips and said, "My brother gave me the medicine and chose to endure it himself... Old man, please save him."

Observing Su Lei with interest, the bald old man said, "Very interesting... alright, you lie down."

Su Lei’s eyes widened: "Ah?"

The bald old man drew his knife: "You let me retrieve something, and I’ll save him, and I won’t charge you, guaranteed to cure him."

Su Lei immediately lay down obediently: "Then do it, you can take whichever organ you want."

The bald old man laughed, and with a ’pfft’, he sliced open Su Lei’s stomach, rummaged around for a moment, and dug out a small, top-shaped Crystal.

Then he inserted it into Gao Xin’s wound...

"Are you a newcomer? How have you stayed alive being so naive?"
