Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 139 The Nights When Yufei and the Others Aren't Here

While Lei Jun was driving, Qi Huang was doing something on the side.

Yufei looked at Uncle Qi curiously and asked him what it was. He told her it was radio waves, which allowed her to contact others with similar abilities within a certain range without needing a satellite.

Without a phone call, unlike wired connections, Yufei's only real feeling was that it wasn't that fast. He fiddled around for ages, trying to get a signal for almost half an hour, before finally receiving a weak signal from the other end.

They had determined a general area, and by the time the three of them found them, it was almost noon. Their group of brothers were in very poor condition.

Gangzi and several others were injured and are still unconscious; their wounds have been treated.

"What happened?" Lei Jun asked upon arriving and seeing the situation, inquiring about the group of people who were taking care of Gangzi, who had sustained minor injuries.

"After we parted ways yesterday, following Miss Yufei's advice, we quickly searched for a place to stay. Finding a place in this wasteland full of yellow sand wasn't easy; we searched until nightfall."

I never imagined that day and night in the wild were two completely different worlds. The creatures I saw during the day were so much more docile in the nighttime world.

They seem to have been born under the cover of night, their entire bodies covered in a layer of oil, black and sticky, and each one looks different, bizarre and wonderful.

The slime on their bodies seemed to be able to transform into various forms under their control. Our bullets didn't damage them; their slime seemed to dissipate force, swallowing our bullets one by one.

There was nothing we brothers could do but fight and retreat while trying to figure out a solution.

The young soldier, who looked no older than his early twenties, couldn't help but shudder as he recalled yesterday.

He had never seen such an extremely violent and flawless monster before. He would probably never forget the fierce battle yesterday. They had tried water, fire, and all sorts of other methods, but nothing worked.

Instead, they continued to inflict various wounds, constantly being defeated and exhausted by these monsters.

Gangzi and his older brothers stepped forward to cover the rear, telling them to protect the supplies and to tell Lei Jun that they, the brothers, would go first, and that they would be heroes again in 18 years.

He resolutely rushed out, blocking their path and the supplies, and then… was crushed. What they didn't expect was that one of their brothers was toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse, played until he was unconscious, and just as he was about to be enveloped in the monsters' slime…

A flashbang fell out of his backpack, its dazzling light illuminating the world before everyone and everything, including the monsters.

As the light flashed, a scream followed, and the monster that had been holding the unconscious brother threw him to the ground and then stumbled backward.

As if afraid of something, Gangzi and the others saw this during the battle and shouted to everyone, "They're afraid of light! Flashbangs, brothers!"

Those brothers, dragging their heavy wounds, mustered their last strength and opened all the flashbangs they carried in their backpacks, throwing them into the monster horde.

The young soldiers, who had been heartbroken and with red eyes, preparing to leave while suppressing their grief, realized upon seeing this scene that they had found a way to deal with the monsters.

They replaced all the weapons in their backpacks with flashbangs, put on burrow lights, and charged towards their comrades on the front lines.

After a frantic rescue, they pulled all their brothers out, but by then, those who had charged ahead were either unconscious or lying on the ground, panting heavily.

Whether it was a case of surviving a great calamity bringing good fortune or not, they surprisingly found a suitable place to settle down not long after this battle, and this was the place they were looking for.

They left two large daylight lamps outside overnight to prevent any sudden attacks from the monsters. Only after checking the cave thoroughly and confirming there was no danger did they have time to treat Gangzi and the others' wounds.

They didn't know what kind of monsters had injured them, but their wounds wouldn't stop bleeding for a long time. They tried all sorts of methods, including anti-inflammatory and hemostatic agents, before they could finally stop the bleeding.

That wasn't the end of it; they then developed fevers, and they spent the whole night trying various methods to lower their temperatures.

The situation has stabilized somewhat just now, but the young soldier said he's still worried that the children might have recurring fevers.

After finishing my instructions with Lei Jun and the others, I busied myself looking after them.

"Uncle Lei Jun, let them rest first. You and Uncle Qi Huang give them this food. I'll take care of these patients. Trust me!" Yufei looked at the young soldiers, each with dark circles under their eyes and faces full of exhaustion.

She volunteered to take over caring for the patients, partly so that those of them who hadn't slept well could get some sleep, and partly so that she could take the opportunity to feed the patients some of the spring water from her space.

After these upgrades, the spatial spring water, while not guaranteeing immortality or rejuvenation, can certainly strengthen the body and enhance their resistance to the 'viruses' brought by those unknown monsters.

It was almost noon, and she could just send Lei Jun and Qi Huang to cook. Qi Huang, on the other hand, wanted to help Yufei take care of her comrades.

Yufei said she could take care of everything herself and that they could call them if there were any problems. They quickly sent the two of them away, saying they were busy preparing lunch.

Yufei watched Lei Jun and Qi Huang busily preparing lunch outside, then turned and entered the cave, feeding each of them the spatial spring water with her fingertips.

At the same time, he took out an improved version of Bletilla striata from his spatial storage. The dragon baby said it had an extremely strong hemostatic effect, capable of stopping bleeding of any degree, the only difference being the dosage.

Yufei spent some time grinding the Bletilla striata into a paste, then unwrapped the bandages from the wounded soldiers one by one.

Blood gushed out again, the wound showed no signs of healing, and the sides were still whitish.

Yufei took the anti-inflammatory medicine and applied it to their wounds again, then quickly applied the Bletilla striata extract, and then got busy with new bandages.

Yufei worked quickly; even with her fast pace, it still took her half an hour to finish serving the patients, just as the other two had finished preparing lunch.

Qi Huang went to Yu Fei's place to signal that it was time to eat. The three of them ate lunch first, without immediately waking their brothers who were still fast asleep.

Qi Huang tended the stove to ensure that there would be hot and delicious food for the others when they woke up, while Lei Jun and Yu Fei continued to care for the five people who were still unconscious.

Lei Jun wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the five people who had just looked pale, though still lying there with their eyes closed, looked much better, even with a slight flush.
