Chapter 595: Save 595
"You two must hold on tight." With that, she grabbed Wei Guangxiang’s hand and charged forward; they could only run ahead now.
Wei Guangxiang felt a hand grasping his and heard Su Yuanyuan’s words, instinctively tightening his grip on her hand.
Actually, the poison only covered about a hundred meters. Su Yuanyuan was running with all her might, but she had to drag three large men, which slowed them down.
Shao Hongming and the other two gritted their teeth, trying to stay conscious; absolutely nothing could happen now.
They were about to escape the area, and Su Yuanyuan felt dizzy. But this couldn’t happen, absolutely not.
She bit her tongue one last time to stay alert and pulled the three of them out. Not far away, they saw three intact skeletons.
Su Yuanyuan couldn’t care about those now. She ran past the skeletons and only stopped more than ten meters away, where the three men immediately collapsed onto the ground.
Su Yuanyuan tore off the cloth and mask from her head and theirs, setting them alight from a distance. On the way back, she drank a cup of Spiritual Spring Water to regain her clarity.
Returning, she saw the three men unconscious on the ground. This was going to be difficult.
With no other option, she took out a cup, added a bit of the Spiritual Spring Water till it was full, intending to make them drink it.
She first propped up Shao Hongming. Unable to wake him, she suddenly remembered a small funnel in her space, a gift with an oil purchase.
Thinking of it, it appeared in her hand. She inserted the funnel into Shao Hongming’s mouth. After pouring in one-third of the water, seeing that he could swallow, she felt relieved.
She removed the funnel and then placed it into Zeng Yixin’s mouth, doing the same procedure.
When it was Wei Guangxiang’s turn, he was heavier than the other two, so she added another drop of Spiritual Spring Water.
After feeding all three, she started to remove their protective suits because she noticed a lot of powder on them. That was not acceptable.
After taking off the suits, she burned them where she previously set fire to the masks.
Seeing the dense smoke in the distance had reduced significantly, she sensed the wind’s movement, which was why she led the three men this way.
On her way back, she drank another cup; she didn’t care about others, so long as they didn’t die. She certainly needed to take care of herself.
Returning, she saw them still unconscious. But they looked much better than before.
She continued to feed them water, this time just plain water.
She knew drinking water could alleviate poisoning symptoms.
She felt exhausted; earlier, she was tense, but having done everything she could, she could no longer control the outcome. So she leaned against the side. Every ten minutes, she gave them some water.
Using their own water bottles, the water they brought was limited, after all.
They couldn’t worry about the future now; they had to ensure they regained consciousness.
She closed her eyes, leaning against the rock wall, while her Divine Sense continued to probe ahead. More skeletons were discovered, still with spears on the ground.
Su Yuanyuan prayed silently; hopefully, there wouldn’t be any more toxins, as they really couldn’t handle it.
When she fed water for the third time, Shao Hongming woke up, his eyes filled with a smile as he looked at Su Yuanyuan.
"You’re awake, that’s good." Su Yuanyuan calmly withdrew the funnel from his mouth. Since this thing was available, no one would suspect anything.
Shao Hongming didn’t get up; he stayed lying on the ground, "Thank you, my life is yours from now on."
"What would I do with your life? Rest for a while."
Shao Hongming tilted his head, watching Su Yuanyuan continue feeding water to Zeng Yixin, still using the funnel. He felt a bit disdainful but knew it was already very good; at least, he was saved first.
When she fed water to Wei Guangxiang, Zeng Yixin woke up.
His head was filled with his sister’s words; indeed, his life was saved by Su Yuanyuan. They, three big men, were saved by a woman, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Thank you, Su Yuanyuan. My life is yours from now on," said Zeng Yixin.
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "What would I do with your lives?"
Of the three, Wei Guangxiang weighed the most, but perhaps he was in better health; after being fed water, he also woke up.
Watching Su Yuanyuan still pouring water for him, his heart, silent for over twenty years, suddenly started to beat vigorously.
Looking at the woman’s beautiful, focused face, he felt she was the one he had been searching for, she’s the one.
"You’re awake? That’s great."
Finally, Su Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. These three men didn’t die for nothing; if they had, it would have left a mark in her heart.
The three, lacking strength, watched Su Yuanyuan leaning against the ground; they struggled to sit up.
"Shao Hongming, do we have any antidote?"
"The doctor gave an injection, said we could try it."
Su Yuanyuan helped distribute it to the other two. It was for injection. Su Yuanyuan felt anxious, afraid of what might happen if they ingested it.
The three, being truly weak, allowed Su Yuanyuan to help them open it.
Watching them drink without hesitation, she put her bottled water in her pocket.
Sitting on the side, she waited to see their reaction. She didn’t dare move, now stuck in an awkward situation.
Su Yuanyuan considered going by herself but felt it would be too arrogant of her. She knew her limits and decided to wait patiently.
She closed her eyes and leaned back. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Shao Hongming woke up to find Su Yuanyuan curled up in the corner. He immediately got up and walked over, wanting to lift her up.
Su Yuanyuan, dazed, opened her eyes and took a while to react, "Are you alright? Any discomfort?"
"I’ve recovered. Don’t worry, how about you?"
"I’m fine, just fell asleep." She stood up while talking.
The remaining two woke up together. They also stood up.
Su Yuanyuan checked the time, "I think we should eat something. We don’t know what we’ll encounter later, and you should recover as well."
The three naturally had no objections. At times like this, they realized they could also show vulnerability.
Su Yuanyuan only ate half a bun. She gave the remaining half to Shao Hongming and then just drank water.
"I think there will still be toxins," Zeng Yixin suddenly said.
"We only have one set of protective gear left."
"You should rest here. I’ll go back and test the section we just passed, to see if there are still toxins."
"I’ll go."
In the dark, Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Shao Hongming, thinking to herself, "You’re just a hindrance now, aren’t you?"
"I’ll go. I’m better than you guys."
Hearing these words, the three men couldn’t help feeling quite humiliated. Even the youngest, Zeng Yixin, was a year older than Su Yuanyuan. But she spoke the truth, and spoke the facts.
