Chapter 974 Finally Alive
Chapter 974 Finally Alive
Chu Xin dragged her injured body and ran all the way, only stopping to rest when she could no longer hold on. It was summer, and her injuries had not been treated, so they became inflamed and she started to have a fever.
The heavy breathing became increasingly intense. At first, it was just a dry mouth from running, but now it felt like all the water in my body had evaporated.
Knowing she couldn't keep up the act or she'd really die, she found a place to hide just before nightfall.
It was only at this moment that I had time to check my injuries.
She had a penetrating gunshot wound to her shoulder and back, multiple lacerations all over her body, extensive contusions, and most seriously, blast wounds and burns. In particular, there was almost no undamaged flesh on her entire back, making it extremely ugly.
Every inch of her body was bleeding, inflamed, and burning painfully. When Chu Xin took off her shirt, the pain made her vision go black. She had to bite her lip until her mouth was full of blood to keep from fainting.
She didn't recognize any herbs, nor did she believe that using unsterilized products on her injury would really make things better. Her life was already very fragile, so Chu Xin didn't plan to take any risks.
Once she was sure she wouldn't be easily found, she lay on the ground naked from the waist up and fell into a deep sleep.
Two days passed after that sleep.
The fact that Chu Xin was able to regain consciousness despite having a high fever without any medical intervention can only be attributed to the fact that her body had been tempered and refined during the apocalypse. Although she was still in pain when she woke up, her spirits were surprisingly better.
At least it won't feel like your brain is about to explode every time you use your superpowers.
Upon realizing this, she immediately closed her eyes. With a slight thought, the strange sensation in her hand filled her with joy. She opened her eyes with a whoosh, and three bottles of luminous blue recovery potions appeared in her palm.
After suffering for several days, Chu Xin suddenly felt like crying. Damn it, it's really not easy for her to have persevered until now!
Without wasting any more time, she immediately opened the potion and gulped it all down her throat.
In less than a minute, the medicine she had drunk transformed into a warm current that instantly swept through her entire body. The burning pain in her body subsided rapidly, and the areas still covered in rotten flesh began to scab over quickly, repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her physical and mental strength, which had been depleted, was fully restored in the instant her mind cleared.
"Finally alive!" Chu Xin couldn't help but exclaim, standing up to stretch her muscles. The feeling of returning to her peak was simply wonderful.
After waiting quietly for another half hour, the effects of the medicine had fully taken hold, and Chu Xin could no longer feel any obvious abnormalities in her body. She looked at her body again, frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.
Gunshot wounds and some large-area wounds still leave scars even after repair.
But so what? It's good enough that she's alive now. Besides, she knows that those medicines are only for awakening bodily functions and repairing damaged meridians, not some kind of magic pill that can make someone completely healthy again.
As long as there are no health problems, that is the greatest fortune.
Next, Chu Xin took out a change of clothes from her spatial storage, went out to find a clean stream and took a good bath. After solving the problem of food and clothing, the remaining task was to plan how to deal with the human traffickers' hideout.
Let's clarify one more thing.
Thinking of the cold glint in Chu Xin's eyes, she felt from the beginning that there must have been people in that village helping to cover it up, or even more people who were silent accomplices.
Moreover, ordinary human traffickers wouldn't have this much power; there's a possibility that something extraordinary has slipped in.
