Chapter 23 The Wounded Hero 2
"Are you okay?" Su Wanqing asked Xiao Ran with concern while driving.

Xiao Ran looked down at his arm, blood still gushing out: "It's okay, just a superficial wound."

Su Wanqing frowned: "Don't be stubborn, the wound is very deep."

"I've seen worse." Xiao Ran tried to smile, but his expression was distorted by pain. "Take care of the little girl first."

The little girl huddled in the corner, looking at Xiao Ran with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, you are hurt."

Xiao Ran turned around and gave the little girl a reassuring smile: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. What's your name?"

"Ding Ding." The little girl replied softly, "Where's my mother?"

"Your mother may have gone looking for you." Su Wanqing said gently, "We will help you find her."

Aze leaned out from the back seat and checked Xiao Ran's wound: "The injury is serious and needs treatment."

"Let's find a safe place to park first." Xiao Ran said in a tense voice.

Su Wanqing nodded and drove attentively, checking the rearview mirror from time to time to see if there were any pursuers behind her.

The city streets were deserted, with only a few wandering zombies.

"There's a gas station over there." Aze pointed ahead. "It looks empty."

Su Wanqing drove the car into the gas station and parked in a secluded corner.

She turned off the engine and turned to Xiao Ran: "Let me see your wound."

Xiao Ran stretched out his arm, blood soaking through his sleeve. Su Wanqing carefully rolled up his sleeve, revealing a deep wound extending from wrist to elbow.

"Oh my god." Su Wanqing gasped, "This needs to be sutured."

"Do we have a medical kit?" Xiao Ran asked in a calm voice, as if he was discussing someone else's wound.

Su Wanqing took out some medical supplies she found at a convenience store from her backpack. "I have some basic supplies. Aze, can you help?"

Aze nodded, stretched out his hand, and controlled the moisture in the air to form a thin film on Xiao Ran's wound: "This can temporarily stop the bleeding."

The little girl Ding Ding climbed from the back seat to the front and looked at Xiao Ran timidly: "Uncle, you got hurt because you saved me."

Xiao Ran patted her head: "It's okay, little one. As long as you are safe."

Ding Ding suddenly threw himself on Xiao Ran, hugged his legs tightly, and burst into tears: "Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle, for saving me!"

Xiao Ran was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort the crying child.

He patted Ding Ding's back: "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore."

"My mom told me I shouldn't run around," Ding Ding sobbed. "But I saw a kitten and followed it. Then I couldn't find my mom."

"Your mother must be very worried about you." Su Wanqing said gently while cleaning Xiao Ran's wound. "Don't be afraid, we will help you find her."

Ding Ding nodded, tears still streaming, "Mom said we should go to the shelter in the west end."

Aze frowned, "Is there a shelter set up by the military?"

"Yeah." Ding Ding wiped his tears, "Mom said there is food and a place to stay there."

Xiao Ran and Su Wanqing exchanged a glance. A shelter meant safety, but it also meant a lot of people and eyes, and there might be people from the research institute.

"We can send Ding Ding to the shelter first, and then decide on the next step." Su Wanqing whispered to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran nodded, but frowned: "If the people from the research institute were there."

"We can send her far away and not go in." Su Wanqing said, "At least we can ensure her safety."

Ah Ze had been listening silently, and suddenly said, "I can feel that Lin Che is coming back."

Su Wanqing and Xiao Ran both turned to him. Aze's expression turned painful, and he held his head with both hands: "The effect of the suppressor is weakening, I can't hold on for much longer." "What do you need?" Su Wanqing asked anxiously.

Aze shook his head. "It's not that I need anything, it's that Lin Che needs salt. Lots of salt. His blue blood concentration is decreasing."

Su Wanqing immediately took out the salt packet she had snatched from the convenience store from her backpack: "Is that enough?"

Aze took a look and nodded: "It's enough for now. But we need to find a place for him to transform quietly."

"There should be a rest room behind the gas station." Xiao Ran said, enduring the pain and sitting up straight, "We can wait there for him to recover."

Su Wanqing nodded and turned to Ding Ding: "Ding Ding, let's rest here for a while, okay? This uncle needs to treat his wound."

Ding Ding nodded obediently, but still held on to the corner of Xiao Ran's clothes tightly, unwilling to leave.

"Come on." Su Wanqing gently took Ding Ding's hand, "Let's find a place to rest."

The four of them got out of the car cautiously and looked around cautiously. The gas station was empty except for a few abandoned vehicles and scattered garbage.

"Over there." Xiao Ran pointed to a small building behind the gas station. "That should be the staff lounge."

They quickly moved to the lounge door. It was locked, but Aze once again demonstrated his lock picking skills, and after a few seconds, the door clicked open.

The lounge is small but has a sofa, a table and a small fridge.

Xiao Ran immediately checked the refrigerator and found several bottles of water and some packaged food inside.

"We are lucky." He took out water and food and put them on the table.

Su Wanqing asked Xiao Ran to sit on the sofa and began to treat his wound carefully.

"This is just a temporary solution," she said. "We need to find antibiotics and better medical equipment."

Xiao Ran nodded, his eyes falling on Ding Ding. The little girl had stopped crying and was looking curiously at Aze, who was sitting in the corner with a painful expression.

"What's wrong with him?" Ding Ding asked in a low voice.

"He's feeling a little unwell." Xiao Ran explained simply, "He'll be fine soon."

Ding Ding seemed to accept this explanation and asked, "When are we going to go find Mom?"

"Soon." Xiao Ran comforted her, "We need to rest for a while, and then we'll go to the West District to find your mother."

Ding Ding nodded, hope glittering in his eyes: "Mom must be very worried about me."

"Yes, she must be very worried." Xiao Ran touched her head, "So you have to be good, so that we can find her quickly."

Ding Ding nodded solemnly, then climbed onto the sofa and sat next to Xiao Ran.

She carefully avoided his wound, but still stayed close, as if this gave her a sense of security.

After Su Wanqing bandaged Xiao Ran's wound, she turned to Aze and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ah Ze shook his head, sweat already soaking his collar. "Not good. Lin Che is probably really coming back. I can feel it."

"What do you need us to do?" Su Wanqing asked.

"Salt." Aze said with difficulty, "Give him the salt. Also... tell him what I said. Tell him that the Spark Project has been launched and he needs to find the other six element holders."

Su Wanqing nodded: "I will tell him."

Aze's breathing became rapid, and his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair: "Also. Tell him not to trust anyone except you. People from the institute are everywhere."

His voice grew fainter and fainter, until it was almost inaudible. Then, his body suddenly relaxed and his head drooped.
