Chapter 51: No Medicine, Wait for Infection

Chapter 51: No Medicine, Wait for Infection

Wang Min and the others were furious.

It was Fang Yuqing who had tempted them to attack Zhang Yi’s house.

Now, they were either dead or wounded, while she wanted to abandon them to enjoy herself? Absolutely not!

Zhou Peng, undergoing surgery, was enraged to hear Fang Yuqing planning to go to Zhang Yi.

“Yuqing, how could you do this to me? Didn’t you say you hated Zhang Yi the most?”

“Don’t you remember saying you wanted to be my woman?”

Fang Yuqing, slapped by Wang Min, covered her face but stubbornly said, “Is it wrong for me to pursue my happiness? Staying with you all is only temporary. When our supplies run out, won’t we all die?”

“Zhang Yi’s house is so comfortable, with food and warmth. What’s wrong with me going to him?”

She looked at Zhou Peng, who was in pain, with a look that seemed to plead for understanding.

“Zhou Peng, you’re a good man, and you’ve always been kind to me.”

“But if you love someone, shouldn’t you want them to be happy?”

“Although you’ve helped me, you shouldn’t stop me from seeking a better life. Can you give me more than Zhang Yi can?”

Zhou Peng’s face turned deathly pale, stuttering, unable to respond.

Zhou Ke’er frowned and said, “Don’t move! If I cut an artery, you’ll die!”

Wang Min, nervous, rushed over to hold Zhou Peng down.

“Cousin, don’t get so angry over this wretched woman. Your life is more important!”

She took a deep breath, glaring at Fang Yuqing. “Fang Yuqing, if you want to leave, we won’t stop you. But only if Zhang Yi brings us medicine in exchange!”

Lin Cainin blocked the door, raising her chin, “Fang Yuqing, if you’re leaving, we’re going together!”

Fang Yuqing glared at them in frustration, turning to Zhang Yi, “Yi, you heard them. They won’t let me go! Why don’t you give them some medicine?”

Zhang Yi, enjoying the drama in his kitchen, smiled slightly, saying, “Medicine is precious. How can I trust they’re not lying? They might even be deceiving you.”

“They could hold you hostage to blackmail me!”

“Yuqing, we can’t fall for that!”

With the speakerphone on, everyone heard their conversation clearly.

Zhou Peng yelled, “Yuqing, don’t believe him! He’s just playing you.”

Indeed, outsiders would think so.

But Fang Yuqing, desperate in this situation, saw Zhang Yi’s words as a lifeline.

Even though she rationally knew it might not save her, she clung to it desperately.

She nodded repeatedly, “You’re right, Yi.”

Then she crazily lunged at Lin Cainin blocking the door.

“You vile woman, get out of my way! Don’t stop me!”

The two women immediately started fighting.

Desperate to reach Zhang Yi’s apartment, Fang Yuqing went berserk, tearing at Lin Cainin’s hair and biting her arm.

Lin Cainin, in pain, fought back just as fiercely.

They fell to the ground, looking like two madwomen.

Wang Min couldn’t stand it anymore. The patients needed surgery, and their fight could jeopardize it.

So she joined in, helping Lin Cainin subdue the hysterical Fang Yuqing.

“Ahhh!!! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!”

Fang Yuqing screamed, looking insane.

Wang Min frowned and slapped her face six or seven times.

Fang Yuqing, dazed by the blows, finally quieted down.

Wang Min sneered, “You want to leave? Dream on!”

She picked up Fang Yuqing’s phone and called Zhang Yi.

“Zhang Yi. Fang Yuqing is with us. If you want to save her, bring us medicine!”

Zhang Yi shrugged.

“There are too many of you. I’m scared. What if you kill me?”

“So, Yuqing, although I want to be with you, they won’t allow it! Don’t blame me!”

Zhang Yi deliberately spoke loudly.

Fang Yuqing, hearing this, screamed in agony, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Wang Min and the others.

Zhang Yi ended the call, an evil smile on his face.

The cruelest thing was to give the desperate a glimmer of hope, only to snatch it away.

He had no intention of letting that bitch in; he just wanted to disgust the others.

At worst, they might kill Fang Yuqing.

Back in their room, Fang Yuqing wailed for a long time before her cries turned into bitter sobs.

But she didn’t hate Zhang Yi; she hated Zhou Peng and Wang Min.

She believed that without them stopping her, she would be in Zhang Yi’s house, eating fine food and enjoying a warm fireplace.

Wang Min sneered at Fang Yuqing.

She looked at Lin Cainin, who had fought against Fang Yuqing, and felt pleased. At least Lin Cainin wasn’t siding with Fang Yuqing.

Good friends turning on each other in times of crisis.

“You see, this woman only thinks of herself, never considering others. If you want to stay with us, keep an eye on her! Don’t let her escape.”

Wang Min coldly instructed Lin Cainin.

Lin Cainin nodded eagerly, “I will, Sister Wang!”

She glanced at the crying Fang Yuqing, her eyes filled with hatred, saying word by word, “I won’t let her run! If we suffer, she will too. Why should she alone enjoy a good life!”

In the living room, Zhou Ke’er finished the makeshift surgeries on the three men.

Without sterilization or anesthesia, she could only quickly remove the rusty arrows and stop the bleeding with gauze.

Tragically, there weren’t even disinfected cotton balls, as the medical alcohol had frozen.

The only upside was the extreme cold numbed their pain, causing them to pass out.

But the downside was also severe; the extreme cold made their bodies prone to necrosis.

Zhou Ke’er, after cleaning her hands of blood, closed her medical kit.

“This is just a temporary fix. Without medicine, there’s a high risk of infection. Be prepared.”

Wang Min and the others looked hopeless.

With Zhang Yi refusing to help, how could they get medicine?
