At that time, Huo Yishen also saved many people, but it did not end well.
Jiang Ning handed the medicine to Huo Yishen. “You feed him water and medicine; I’ll go get Doudou and Coke.”
Huo Yishen took the medicine and took a deep breath. “Anning, thank you.”
Jiang Ning patted him. “This is your medicine supply, so no need to thank me.”
By the time she brought Doudou back, Huo Yishen had already finished feeding him water and medicine and was cleaning his wounds.
They brought out two beds and a lighting lamp from the space, and together they lifted him onto the bed.
Seeing a severe gash on his thigh, Jiang Ning administered anesthesia and used a medical instruments to clean and suture the wound.
From the wound, it seemed to be caused by a sharp object.
Jiang Ning took a tetanus vaccine, and a yacht was gone just like that.
After dealing with it, she also gave him a fever-reducing pill.
Doudou woke up at some point, sitting on the bed, dazed and confused. She kept rubbing her eyes. “Brother, sister.”
Huo Yishen gently comforted her as he touched her head. “Doudou, it’s okay.”
Doudou hugged him, anxiously asking, “Brother, how did I get here?”
“A tsunami hit; you were knocked unconscious by a railing, but the waves have receded.”
Doudou was still dazed, her consciousness drifting.
Huo Yishen handed her warm food and said, “Hungry? Eat something.”
Doudou obediently ate quietly, along with some watermelon juice.
She noticed the unfamiliar extra person but didn’t ask anything. She continued with her meal while sneakily slipping a piece of rib to the dog,.
A tsunami like that would surely cause numerous casualties, and high temperatures easily lead to outbreaks.
Having gotten what they needed, staying by the seaside was meaningless; who knew when another tsunami would come?
Jiang Ning hadn’t heard of this tsunami in her past life; Huo Yishen probably didn’t know either; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come.
However, despite being only seventy or eighty kilometers from Fengcheng, the situation was vastly different. If they hadn’t been well-prepared, they would have died.
Jiang Ning spoke up, “How about we go back to Fengcheng?”
Huo Yishen had no objection: “It’s dark; we don’t know the situation downhill; let’s decide in the morning.”
Afraid of other survivors coming up in the dark, Jiang Ning suggested they take turns keeping watch to get through the night.
The dog took the lead, with Huo Yishen assisting, while Jiang Ning put Doudou to sleep.
Who knew? They slept until dawn.
Huo Yishen came back from patrolling with Coke and said, “The waves have receded below the road level, and there are scattered survivors evacuating.”
The soldier was still unconscious, but the fever had subsided.
To prevent infection in the wound, they continued administering antibiotics.
After dividing breakfast between the two, Jiang Ning stepped out of the villa and stood on the mountaintop.
The wind and waves were strong, and they continued to roar.
A tsunami swallowed countless humans, docks, and ports, wiping out the remnants of industrial civilization completely.
Just yesterday, it was still bustling with activities, yet today everything turned into nothingness.
Jiang Ning felt heavy-hearted but also helpless, only able to watch as natural disasters became increasingly fierce and unpredictable.
The coastal road was safe, so the two decided to return to Fengcheng to avoid lingering in uncertainty.
With no one around, Jiang Ning brought out the domestic car.
Huh, why wasn’t it there?
She tried to take it out again, but… Nothing came out!
Damn it, what’s going on?
Seeing her sudden change in expression, Huo Yishen asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Ning was shocked. “I can’t open my space.”
Panicked, she tried several times in a row but still couldn’t retrieve anything.
Jiang Ning instantly collapsed. No, the food she could eat until she died, tens of thousands of pounds of seafood, cars worth hundreds of millions, cruise ships…
Goods worth tens of billions, It was all swallowed by space!
Huo Yishen comforted her, “Don’t panic; try something else first.”
Yeah, steady; don’t panic first.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and fiercely reached into the space.
This time she managed to grab something,
Uh.. It’s a handful of umbrellas!
Jiang Ning’s pupils trembled. Why on earth did she grab these things?
She grabbed at least dozens of them.
Startled, she quickly threw them back into the space.
But it was too late.
Huo Yishen, who witnessed the whole process, had his usually stern and resolute face… cracked visibly.
Jiang Ning’s head buzzed, and subconsciously she reached out her hands and said, “No, don’t overthink; listen to me first!”
Explain why she had so many. It wasn’t purchased; it was collected.
Damn, why did she grab these things?
Jiang Ning felt embarrassed, to the point of wanting to dig a hole with her toes. It felt like no matter how she explained, it just made things worse.
Huo Yishen, having seen big scenes before, quickly regained composure. “Anning, I didn’t think much of it.”
Jiang Ning covered her face; she might as well play dead.
He suggested, “How about you try again?”
Right, try again.
But the domestic car still didn’t come out.
Jiang Ning tried something else and successfully retrieved some peanuts.
What’s going on? Did the car get embedded with diamonds and get swallowed by the space?
Huo Yishen pondered, “Could it be that it wasn’t taken in and was washed away by the tsunami?”
No way; Jiang Ning was sure she had taken everything in.
Wait, when Huo Yishen drove back to the mountaintop, she rushed into the villa’s rooftop terrace, and he went to collect the power grid.
There was no time to drive the car into the yard; it must have been washed away by the tsunami long ago.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and it made her grab handfuls of umbrellas, embarrassing herself. It was all this guy’s fault!
Jiang Ning was furious, using Huo Yishen as a punching bag.
In that emergency situation, Huo Yishen forgot too, so he could only let her vent.
Someone wasn’t afraid of death; he brought it up again: “Isn’t it because you had certain thoughts in your mind that you retrieve them?”
Jiang Ning, wanting to kick him into the sea to feed the fish, “…”
Jiang Ning rubbed her nose, frustratingly explaining, “I found them when I searched for supplies, thinking I could use them to exchange for goods later, so I didn’t throw them away.”
But don’t underestimate them; she had already exchanged it for a cow and a sheep.
Huo Yishen listened. “Hmm, keep them.” They might come in handy later.
Jiang Ning felt like hitting him again.
Since the car was gone, they needed a means of transportation. Otherwise, it would be a big problem to travel with a child and a dog.
She brought out the Hummer: “He’s still unconscious; what should we do?”
Huo Yishen thought for a moment: “Leaving him here is a dead end. It’s better to take him back to Fengcheng and hand him over to the municipal authorities; they’ll arrange for him to return to his unit.”
Jiang Ning was relatively satisfied with his arrangement. “Okay.”
The two of them ate casually, and Huo Yishen called out to the two, “Get in the car.”
Jiang Ning took the opportunity to go in and collect things, while he lifted the unconscious soldier into the car’s back seat and fastened the seatbelt. The dogs were responsible for watching over him.
The car slowly descended the mountain. After the tsunami receded, they found many survivors teaming up to search for supplies at the villa.
It was estimated that they had been plundered several times already, as they hadn’t found any food.
Seeing a Hummer appear, they immediately grabbed their clubs and rushed towards the road, not only they want to seize the car but also to grab their supplies.
These scoundrels, even at the end of the world, why should they be able to drive cars? While they couldn’t even fill their bellies!
With a gun in hand, she remained calm.
Facing their menacing approach, Jiang Ning rolled down the window, took out her weapon, and aimed at them, her eyes filled with killing intent and indifference.
They were tired of living, so they might as well give it a try.
