Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Healing Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Healing Bai Xiao rushed over, carefully inspecting An Zhiyuan’s injuries.
A piece of shrapnel was lodged just above his eyebrow! It had been cleaned out, leaving a deep wound that was still bleeding profusely, covering his eyes and face with fresh blood. It looked terrifying, and his other wounds were not visible, but An Zhiyuan was unconscious.
That much was beyond doubt.
A teammate almost frantically grabbed Bai Xiao’s arm, “Doctor, please check what’s wrong with our captain. He’s been unconscious since he was blown up by the bomb.”
Bai Xiao pushed the teammate away, “I’m going to start the acupuncture now.”
She took out the acupuncture kit from the medical box, unbuttoned his shirt around the chest, and disinfected with alcohol.
At this moment, she couldn’t afford to glance at An Zhiyuan’s robust abs, as she inserted two needles.
The teammate panicked, “Doctor, our captain has a physical injury, what good is acupuncture? Shouldn’t you examine and dress his wound first?” He might be a layman, but he knew that at first glance, the captain was bleeding uncontrollably. Acupuncture might at best stop the bleeding a little, but inspecting the wound, suturing, and so on – that wasn’t something acupuncture could do.
Liu Yun glared at the teammate, “What are you panicking for? Our Doctor Bai’s acupuncture is very powerful. She’s needed for surgeries even when there’s no anesthesia available. Besides, she’s your captain’s fiancée – do you think she doesn’t wish for her future husband to be safe and sound?”
Her hands were also busy; there were simply too many casualties. With twenty or thirty injured soldiers, their efforts were drops in the bucket.
The teammate stuck out his tongue, not expecting this to be their renowned Doctor Bai. Everyone knew of Doctor Bai; every time the transporters brought letters to the captain, they could see him sitting alone in the trench, grinning foolishly like an idiot. It was rare for their wise and brave captain to be so infatuated, and they were all curious about Doctor Bai, who was rumored to have been bear-hugged by the captain upon first meeting. They wondered who this incredible person was to make their insightful and courageous Captain An act like a love-struck fool.
“Doctor Bai, I’m sorry.”
This time it was a hundred times sincere. If anyone cared about their captain, it would be Doctor Bai, for he was her man.
Bai Xiao shook her head, focusing intently on maneuvering the silver needles. Her special ability circulated within An Zhiyuan’s body, and finally, it located the site of his injuries. A fragment of shrapnel had penetrated into the right side of An Zhiyuan’s head. Though small, it was compressing an artery. Had she not been present, An Zhiyuan’s condition would have made it impossible to get him down the mountain for surgery; a ruptured vessel would have been fatal.
Fortunately, his current unconsciousness was the lesser concern, which gave Bai Xiao some relief.
Her special ability seemed to sense An Zhiyuan’s presence, and the energy of her ability joyfully and automatically surged towards his wound. It was the first time Bai Xiao observed her ability behaving so spontaneously, as if out of her control, like it was seeking its origin – a natural pursuit. Moreover, she was astonished to discover that her special ability healed An Zhiyuan’s injuries without consuming any of her energy, as if the ability were his.
Visible to the naked eye, Bai Xiao could feel the pressure pushing the shrapnel out of the wound, falling away from the injury. Thankfully, the number of casualties was so high that even the teammate who had apologized was too busy to notice. Otherwise, this would have been a big deal.
An Zhiyuan’s wound had miraculously healed, and if it weren’t for the blood masking his face, one might not have been able to tell he’d been injured at all. Everyone would have noticed that the wounds on An Zhiyuan’s body had completely vanished.
