Su Ying furrowed her brows imperceptibly. “Where is he?”

“In the room on the first floor.”

Su Ying followed Number One downstairs. The moment they entered the hall, the strong smell of blood assaulted their senses. The room was filled with people who were either sitting or lying down, treating their wounds.

Number Two was lying in the middle of the room on two long wooden stools joined together.

When Su Ying went up to check on him, his breathing was already very weak.

An arrow had pierced through his chest, and judging from the position, it seemed to be extremely close to his heart.

Su Ying took out a dagger and cut open the clothes around the wound, carefully examining the position of the wound.

“Go and look for a clean and empty room for me immediately. There should only be one short and one long table in the room. Be quick.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

“His injury is very serious. I need to treat him immediately. All of you spread out and don’t crowd around him.”

In the past, Number One and the others had also lived a violent life of bloodthirsty brutality. Every time they went on a mission, some people would die. Although they would lament a little, they would generally not take it to heart. They had chosen that path, so they were destined to have that kind of ending.

However, for some reason, when they were looking at Number Two lying in a pool of blood, they felt an indescribable heaviness in their hearts. Perhaps it was because of the time they spent together. They had now developed a true sense of brotherhood.

The people from the Tiger Base moved very quickly. “Madam Su, the room is ready.”

Su Ying nodded and quickly ordered people to carry Number Two into the room together with the long benches.

Su Ying followed him into the room and looked at Xiao Jin outside. “Keep watch at the door. I don’t want to be disturbed when I’m giving medical treatment.” Xiao Jin frowned and nodded. “You don’t need help?”

“Don’t need.” With that, Su Ying closed and locked the door.

Number Two’s condition was more precarious, so she didn’t have time to care about other things. After making sure that the doors and windows were all closed, she brought him directly into the operating room in the interspatial store.

Su Ying put on a pair of gloves and cut open Number Two’s shirt with a pair of scissors. She applied anesthetic and disinfected the wound.

She took out a large pair of pliers from the side and cut the arrow fletching short, leaving only a short stump. Then, she pushed the scanning device in front of Number Two to check the position of the arrow fletching in his body more clearly.

“It’s so close to the heart…” From the device, Su Ying could clearly see that the arrow fletching was only a hair’s width away from the heart. When it was at such a close distance, the surgery would be much more difficult.

Su Ying pushed the medical equipment closer to Number Two’s chest. It seemed like she would have to conduct the surgery with the help of the device.

Su Ying took out her surgical tools and swiftly and accurately cut open Number Two’s chest…

After opening up his chest, Su Ying realized that the arrow fletching had a hook, and the hook was very close to his heart. If her hands were not steady enough, Number Two would die on the operating table.

Su Ying slowly pushed the arrow fletching to the side. When the flesh was completely separated, she held her breath and slowly took the arrow fletching out!

Su Ying looked at the blood-red arrow fletching and let out a deep breath.

From the device, she could see there was no longer any fatal bleeding point in the wound. After using the hemostatic clamp to stop the bleeding, she began to stitch up the wound.

After she bandaged the wound and made sure that Number Two had a heart rate detector bracelet on, she took him out of her interspatial store.

The room was already pitch black, and she could vaguely see the torch flames dancing outside the window.

When Su Ying opened the door, everyone looked at her.

“Mistress, how’s Number Two?” Number One asked anxiously.

“He probably won’t die. Bring a cart over, lay a few layers of blankets on it, and take him back.”

When Number One and the others heard that Number Two was still alive, they were overjoyed. They admired Su Ying even more. If they had suffered such injuries in the past, they could only wait for death.

Or rather, they didn’t expect Su Ying to do her best to save them. It turned out that in her heart, they weren’t tools whose life or death didn’t matter to her. They were humans in her eyes!

“If you’re tired, go back.” Xiao Jin’s heart ached a little when he saw the fatigue on Su Ying’s face.

Su Ying nodded. She was really tired.

It was already past midnight when they returned home, but no one was asleep except for the children.

How could they sleep knowing that Su Ying, Xiao Jin, and the others were facing danger outside?

“Master, Mistress, you’re finally back. How are you? Are you alright?”

In order not to make them worry, the two of them had changed into clean clothes when they came back so that they didn’t look all blood-stained.

“We are fine. They are just a few small fries. The matter has already been resolved. Go to sleep. There are still many things to do tomorrow.”

When everyone saw that Su Ying and Xiao Jin were really fine, they went back to their rooms to rest with peace of mind.

Su Ying returned to her room and took out a few bottles of medicine from the box. She tossed them to Number One and Jiang Yang. Since they didn’t come and look for her, their injuries were probably not that serious. She would let them take care of themselves.

Su Ying yawned and fell asleep the moment she returned to her room. There was no way anyone could wake her up from this deep sleep.

Xiao Jin followed her into the room. After watching her fall asleep, he also lay down on the bamboo couch nearby and closed his eyes.

The Azure Dragon Base’s men had immediately fled back to their camp after retreating from the Tiger Base.

“Quick! Close the gate and block it securely. We can’t let that woman in!”

“Yes, Commander.”

Wu Feng soon received the news that his men had returned in defeat. When he saw the completely blood-covered commanders being carried in, his expression turned extremely unpleasant.

“Leader, Yu Tong and Hu Yi are all dead, and we are all seriously injured. That woman is not dead. She is not dead! She’s a monster. Even that big fire couldn’t burn her to death! We shouldn’t have gone against her in the first place!”

The few commanders who had escaped from death still had lingering fears. They were genuinely fearful that if they had been any slower back then, they would have died under Su Ying’s saber.

“Guard the gate carefully. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave! We can’t let that woman in at all costs!” Wu Feng’s heart was filled with hatred and fear. He also felt an indescribable fear of Su Ying.

“It’s not only that woman. There’s also a man who’s very powerful. We can’t afford to offend them, Leader. We’ve lost so many people this time. We can’t fight them head-on anymore. It’s almost winter now, and we don’t have much time left.”

Wu Feng’s face clouded over. “Now that the three states have closed their border stations, we can’t buy any grain at all. If we really can’t buy, you can gather some men and go along the borders of the various states to rob as much as you can.”

No one raised any objection when they heard that. There were some villages at the borders of the various states. These villages also belonged to the three big states, but because of their geographical locations, they were a certain distance away from the border. If they went to rob these villages and they moved fast, the soldiers at the border would not get the news so quickly. By the time the soldiers arrived, they would have already slipped away.

Now that they couldn’t buy food, this was the only way out for them..
