Jiang Ning’s words made the middle aged woman’s face turn pale with fright, and she didn’t dare to say another word.

Afraid that Jiang Ning hadn’t had enough killing, she hurriedly turned and left.

The others were scared stiff, and they did not dare to utter a single word of nonsense.

They were confused too, why bother meddling in other people’s business?

Afraid of attracting the attention of the murderous demon, they all followed suit and left.

Coke struggled free from the belt rope and rushed over, continuously tugging at Jiang Ning, its face full of anxiety and anger, “Whimper, whimper, whimper…”

“Poop scooper, what’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Ning rubbed its head, comforting it, “It’s okay.”

Doudou ran over, her face full of anxious concern, “Sister, are you okay?”

The concern of the two overflowed, making Jiang Ning feel warmth in her heart. In this chaotic world, there were still people who cared about her.

The Zhong family father and son broke out in cold sweat, “As long as you people are okay.”

The brick hit hard, Jiang Ning worried that Huo Yishen’s bones might be injured, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Huo Yishen moved his shoulder, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes, “There should be no major problem.”

Looking at his not-so-agile movements, even if he didn’t hurt his bones. A soft tissue injury was certain.

Father Zhong suggested, “Let’s go back quickly; if it’s really bad, we’ll go to the hospital.”

Forget about medicine, but surviving doctors were still following the government’s call to treat illnesses, but for medicine, they had to figure it out by themselves.

They can find an experienced orthopedic doctor to take a look, so that people can be at ease.

Huo Yishen switched shoulders to carry the wood, Jiang Ning slowed down and pushed the sled behind him, occasionally paying attention to his movements.

Doudou was worried about her brother, but she wiped her eyes and didn’t cry.

Back at the Jinrong community, Zheng Weili and the others went downstairs to help move.

Learning that Huo Yishen was injured, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

He was so powerful; how could he get hurt?

However, no one who came back said how he was injured.

Zhang Chao glanced at Jiang Ning and vaguely understood.

After moving things upstairs, Jiang Ning followed into 1801, “Take off your shirt; I’ll check it.”

Studying medicine for only a year, although it was just a little knowledge, she was still better than an average person.

Huo Yishen didn’t refuse; he first lit the charcoal stove, waiting for the room to warm up before saying, “Doudou, take Coke out.”

Doudou was confused, but she was obedient.

The dog didn’t want to leave, but seeing the poop scooper’s expression wasn’t right, so it left dejectedly.

Feeling awkward, but Huo Yishen still took off his shirt.

It’s winter, so he wears a lot of clothes and takes off several pieces, leaving only the last piece of warm clothing.

Sitting on the floor and not knowing where to put his hands.

Jiang Ning also felt a bit awkward, but still opened his shirt and gently pressed around his shoulder, “Does it hurt in the bones?”

It hurts, but it seems not to be the bones; there’s occasional twitches, with a sensation of soreness and swelling.

“Soft tissue injury and it probably needs some time to heal.”

Fortunately, he was dressed well; otherwise, it would be strange if he didn’t fracture.

“I’ll massage you with some medicated wine, taking anti-inflammatory drugs and applying plaster will help you recover faster.”

Last time she got quite a few medicines, and both of them had no shortage.

Huo Yishen insisted on using his own; Jiang Ning didn’t force it, but the medicated wine he soaked froze.

Jiang Ning went home to get it, “I have a small bottle at my place.”

Back home, she took out a large glass jar from the space, poured about half into a mineral water bottle.

Afraid he’d notice something, she poured some hot water into the basin, and after a while, threw the mineral water bottle in.

“The medicated wine is ready; expose your shoulder.”

He wouldn’t freeze to death if he didn’t wear anything, but Huo Yishen wasn’t used to exposing his upper body in front of girls. He changed into a sleeveless vest and covered the other parts particularly tightly.

Jiang Ning pulled down his shoulder strap and applied the medicated wine, massaging with moderate pressure.

No one said anything, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Jiang Ning cleared her throat, “Thank you for saving me.”

“You could have completely avoided it; it was my miscalculation.”

Um, how to put it, Jiang Ning could indeed have avoided it, but it wasn’t entirely meddling in others’ affairs. Moreover, even if she managed to avoid it this time, what about next time?

The concern from the team was received by her.

However, she still needed to remind kindly, “If it weren’t for you, I might not have been able to dodge it, but still, take care of yourself. You shouldn’t take too many risks next time. Look, Doudou was frightened.”

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury. I know my limits.”

He knew his limits, but she didn’t want to owe this favor.

The massage lasted for more than ten minutes; then she applied the plaster and prepared the medicine for him to take.

When leaving, Jiang Ning didn’t forget to remind, “You need to pay attention and tell me if you feel uncomfortable at any time.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Jiang Ning paused, “It’s nothing.” After all, he got injured because of her.

Back home, she took a shower, changed into her loungewear, and sat on the sofa, her thoughts gradually drifting away.

The relationship on the 18th floor was good, and they weren’t people who liked to fuss over trivial matters. There hadn’t been any major conflicts in the few months they had been together.

Because of Doudou, Huo Yishen, who had a cold personality, treated her noticeably better than Zhang Chao and others. But this was the end of the world, a crisis of life and death. Regardless of who it was, they would prioritize themselves.

Even if they were in the same team, he didn’t need to rush over to shield her from the bricks, did he?

If it were Zhang Chao and the others, it would be understandable; after all, they all grew up in the orphanage, and there was a foundation of many years of affection, and they would instinctively be helping each other in danger.

But Huo Yishen?

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and felt that he should be extremely confident in his own skills, and only acted to save her when he was sure there was no danger to his life.

It wasn’t her confidence; in terms of combat power, she was firmly in second place on the 18th floor, and she also served as the communication bridge between him and 1803, and she tried her best to tutor Doudou.

If she died, the combat power of the 18th floor would be lost, and the danger of guarding the floor would increase significantly, and he would have to find a new teacher for Doudou.

With a cold and reticent personality, getting along with 1803 wouldn’t be as good as before. If new neighbors moved in, there would definitely be major conflicts.

Yeah, it must be like this.

After figuring it out, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But still, somehow…

Coke came over and scratched her with its paws. It wanted to play.

Jumping around, it successfully interrupted her thoughts.

The dog was exhausted today, and it had a very rich meal at night, not only chicken breast but also pork rib soup, corn soup, and the indispensable green vegetables. Needless to say, it enjoyed its meal very much.

At night when she was going to sleep, she turned on the walkie-talkie, “Huo Yishen, how does your injury feel today?”

Calling him like this felt a bit weird, but calling his full name felt even weirder.

The response came quickly, “It’s okay.”

Not knowing what to chat about, Jiang Ning scratched her ear, “Alright then, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time.”

She hung up the walkie-talkie and turned off the lights to go to sleep.

The room was warm, but she was woken up by Coke at ten o’clock.

Opening the door, she was almost choked by the cold air, feeling much colder than yesterday, and her face instantly broke out in goosebumps.

Going to the balcony to check the temperature, it had dropped to negative 35 degrees.

She quickly returned to the room, brushed her teeth and washed up in the space, then ate a bowl of delicious wonton noodles.

After eating, she turned on the walkie-talkie, “How does your injury feel today?”

“Numb and swollen, and it’s not very flexible.”
