Chapter 4 Injuries

No-

Xiao Cheng's injury made Xiao Hong angry to the extreme. With astonishing force, she lifted up a destroyed building and pounced on the monster, smashing it in the face.

Despite the heavy damage to Orange, the monster itself has already left many obvious scars on its body. At the same time, it already has some physical support, and in this case, the opponent it has to face is replaced by Xiaohong, and it immediately looks unbearable. After a while, I saw the monster make a false move, suddenly turned around, and ran away. The huge foot stepped on the ground, cracking the ground, leaving a visible gully.

Do you want to run away?

Xiaohong followed closely behind, chasing after her. While lifting up various large objects encountered on the pursuit road, he kept throwing them at the monsters.

I know you're excited, but you're no less damaging than a monster right now.

I couldn't help but complain to myself.

However, at this moment, the monster that was running in front of him suddenly fell to the ground.

Two huge front paws began to dig into the ground at an alarming rate. The monster began to burrow into the ground.

Is it going to escape?

Xiaohong was still a step late. By the time she caught up, the monster had already burrowed into the ground and vanished.

Coward, shrunken turtle, come out for me!

Xiaohong stomped the ground desperately as she pointed to the place where the monster disappeared and began to yell. But the monster won't listen to her.

Watch out, little red! Monsters may sneak up on you!

As soon as I finished speaking, the ground under Xiaohong's feet suddenly cracked, sending her into the sky. The monster that had burrowed into the ground came out again. At the same time that Xiaohong was knocked into the sky, it immediately opened its huge mouth below.

It's going to wait for Little Red to fall and eat her in one bite?

I wanted to stop it, but I couldn't do it. I could only watch her fall into the monster's mouth.

She was eaten by a monster.

My face was bloodied and my heart almost stopped.

But...... Maybe things aren't that bad.

The monster's big mouth, full of fangs and sharp teeth, seemed to be firmly closed. But if you look closely, there is still a gap that stands strong there, and it can't be completely closed.

Xiaohong, she used her body to firmly support the monster's upper and lower jaws.

If you want to eat me, you are two hundred years earlier. Little Red deftly flashed and jumped out of the monster's mouth without being bitten.

She pounced on the monster again, but it burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace. Leaving Xiaohong to stand there dumbfounded.

But just when she was stunned, the monster suddenly appeared for the second time and tore off half of Xiaohong's skirt.

Looking at the parts of the skirt that I would not normally see after being torn off, I suddenly felt a tingling and sour nose, as if I was about to have a nosebleed.

But I tell myself, this is definitely not the time for nosebleeds, and now is a matter of life and death.

As for Xiaohong, she is furious about her torn dress. But she couldn't do anything about it, because the monster was back underground. She can't attack the monsters, which they can sneak up on from the ground again and again.

There are still three seconds to drill out of the ground, at a 30-degree angle to the north-east.

Xiao Cheng, who was held in my arms and lost his vision, suddenly shouted at Xiao Hong.

Uh?North?East?

She hurriedly looked up at the sun in the sky, and then quickly jumped away from where she was standing.

Almost instantly, the monster burrowed out of the ground, but unfortunately pounced and caught nothing.

I see. Although Xiao Cheng's eyes are no longer visible, her ears can still hear. It is said that when one sense fails, the other senses become more acute, so that the blind person's sense of hearing, smell, and touch is much better than that of the average person.

The next attack, about five seconds later. Little Orange provided information again.

That's pretty much enough. Red quickly lifted a piece of building with sharp corners.

The strange tree came out again, but Xiaohong also jumped away sensitively. Not only that, but she smashed the monster's head with all her might.

The head was pierced. The strange tree let out a roar of pain and struggled desperately, and then its eyes lost its life and it fell to the ground with a thud. Like the previous kind, it quickly melted away without a trace.

At the same time, the little orange in my arms tilted and lost consciousness. After all, she was too badly injured.

After a short rest, Red and I took Orange to a hospital in a neighboring city.

Xiaohong only had a little skin trauma, but only half of her skirt was left. She had to buy a new dress on the spot. Although I didn't bring local cash, I did handle some business, so I could transfer domestic money out of the country and exchange it into cash in local banknotes.

Before that, I had to contribute my coat and let Xiaohong tie it around her waist.

Although I didn't know anything about the local language, I was amazed that Xiaohong was able to speak the local language fluently, which was very incredible. She was asked to translate the language to the medical staff.

According to her, Xiao Cheng is not a big problem, but the consumption of the body is too large, which makes me feel a little relieved.

Just after resting for a while, Xiao Cheng woke up. However, her eyesight still did not recover. She still couldn't see anything.

Outside the ward, Xiaohong seemed to be arguing with the medical staff in the local language.

I couldn't understand what she was saying, but judging by the tone and tone of her voice, she must have been very excited.

If she really had to lose her temper here, I think she would have torn down the entire hospital with her bare hands. In this case, I had to go out of the ward to persuade her.

Brother, you judge the theory. Xiaohong said angrily. They actually said that they couldn't cure Little Orange's eyes!

Hearing this, my heart suddenly cooled in half. Doesn't this mean that Little Orange will be blind for the rest of his life?

But I know there must be no panic now. Otherwise, my sister would have become even more overwhelmed than I was.

After much thought, I finally made a decision. Transfer to a larger hospital. Money is not an issue, I just want Orange to get her sight back.

Soon we went through the relevant procedures and transferred Xiaocheng to a key hospital. But the medical staff were still helpless against Xiao Cheng's eyes. The next few hospitals also shook their heads, saying that they couldn't cure her eyes.

A doctor at a hospital said it would be better for her to learn Braille early.

If I hadn't grabbed Xiaohong at the time, I think Xiaohong might have had a physical altercation with the medical staff.

Unable to restore Orange's eyesight, Red and I could only stare at each other, but we couldn't think of any feasible solution.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper in the first place. Otherwise, Orange wouldn't have traveled all the way here to fight the monsters.

How can you say that, or am I too useless. Not even a monster can be defeated.

No, the real responsibility is mine. It's because I failed to be a good brother. It's all my responsibility. I must be held accountable for this. Don't worry, even if you run all over the world, I will heal your eyes.

All over the world?

Xiaohong, you can take the two of us to the United States right away. Just to the north. It should be our last place of hope.

Is it really possible? Little Red's eyes suddenly lit up.

Actually, I don't dare to give a 100% guarantee. But if I can't cure her eyes in the United States, I really can't do anything.

Okay, then listen to my brother.

Little Red picked up Little Orange with one hand and picked me up with the other, and immediately rushed towards the location of the North United States.

Although the journey was not as far as the first one, when I reached my destination, I still fell to the ground and vomited.

I'm really fed up with this mode of transportation.

As soon as we set foot on the land of the world's largest power, we rushed to the best local hospitals.

To my great disappointment, hospitals in the U.S. are also completely flawless. Even the hospitals in Washington, D.C., are the same.

It's over. It's completely finished.

It was late at night, and we had no choice but to find a place to stay. Luckily, I knew there was a place that would be a good fit. Because I have a relative named Ling Lan who lives here, I have to call him uncle. So we stayed at his house for the night.

Uncle Lan received us warmly. But he was amazed at how the three of us were able to get from China to the United States in such a short time.

Since there were no outsiders here, I told him the truth.

Her eyes were hurt by monsters?

After pondering for a while, Uncle Lan spoke.

I don't think there is any hospital in the world that can cure her eyes. Because most people don't know much about monsters, naturally there is no special medicine specifically for monsters.

Then her eyes can't be cured?

If there's one place of hope, it's the Monster Research Institute.

Monster Research Institute?

A worldwide organization that specializes in monsters and how to deal with them. Ever since the monsters invaded the world, it has been formed. Maybe we can find a cure for her eyes there. It just so happens that I have some friendship with Dr. Richard there. I'll send you there tomorrow.

This news is tantamount to a long drought. My heart was also a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. However, it still hung high, because it was still unclear whether the Monster Research Institute could cure her eyes. But it can only be resigned to fate.

We spent the night at Uncle Lan's house. Early the next morning, Uncle Lan drove the three of us to the Monster Research Institute.

It's still comfortable to sit in the car. Although it is much slower than Xiaohong's running speed.

Appearing in front of us was an old man with a big beard. This is Dr. Richard.

After listening to our description, a smile suddenly broke out on his wrinkled face.

Is it true? She really got her eye hurt by a monster?" he said to me in English. Luckily, I can still understand some English.

Yes, doctor. So, you have medicine here that can cure her eyes?

Well, no.

What?

I felt the urge to knock the old man to the ground and beat him hard.

You may be mistaken, but I mean that by studying the toxins left in her eyes, I can learn a lot about the monsters. Richard said excitedly.

But her eyes ......

In return, don't worry, I'm fighting hard to find an antidote.

Seeing his serious attitude, I couldn't force him anymore.

In this way, Richard brought Little Orange into his real room. The two of us waited outside.

An assistant took both of us on a tour of the institute. It also taught us a lot about monsters that we didn't know.

Monsters are very different from each other. Every monster, when it appears, the relevant agencies will give it a code name. For example, the first monster ever to appear was named "The Invader". Other names include "Vanguard", "Stinger", "Speedstorm", and so on. The two monsters I saw with my own eyes were among them. The first monster that Red kills is named "Shockwave", and the one that hurts Orange's eye is called "Sandstorm".

I also noticed that there are stars marked underneath the picture of the monster. Most of the monsters, such as "Invader" and "Blaster", have only one star, while "Sandstorm" and several other monsters have two stars. In addition, I found a monster with three stars.

This should be the division of the monster's strength level.

In addition, monsters have their own different attributes, including earth, sky, water, fire, wind, and so on.

The more we visited, the more we felt that our previous knowledge of monsters was still lacking.

Of course, despite their considerable research into monsters, I have to say that they haven't found any special weapons other than nuclear bombs that can be used against them.

For the rest of the day, we lived in the institute. Dr. Richard has been working day and night on the monster toxin that hurt Orange's eyes, saying every day that something new has been made, and that he is already working on an antidote. However, a full week has passed, and it still hasn't really been successful. Red and I are starting to get impatient.

Did the rest of my sister come out of the gourd? I couldn't help but start thinking about the gourds that were still at home. I have five younger sisters to welcome. What kind of girls will they be?

Once a day, Orange would go to the institute's room and ask Dr. Richard to study her injured eye. The rest of the time is with us. Despite losing her vision, her hearing is still alive, so she is still more sensitive than the average person.

Finally, one day, Dr. Richard called us into the real room.

I think we can find an antidote within today's time.

Are you sure?

After being depressed for more than a week, I suddenly became happy, and so did Xiaohong and Xiaocheng.

But just then, an assistant suddenly ran in in a panic.

Doctor, there's another monster! It's South Africa!

Brother, you are waiting for me here. Xiaohong immediately stood up and ran out without saying a word.

Be careful.

I couldn't catch up with her, so I could only shout loudly from behind.

But Xiaohong's figure has long since disappeared.

Doctor, how long will it take to finish the research?

About two or three hours. This is the best-case scenario.

After two or three hours, will I be able to see it?

Yes, trust me. I stroked Orange's long hair. She snuggled her head into my arms.

After a few minutes, the door suddenly opened again, and another assistant stumbled in.

Blame...... Blame...... Monster.

We already know that. That girl named Xiaohong has already gone to deal with the monster, you don't have to worry. Dr. Richard said to his assistant.

No...... It's not the monster, it's ...... The other one. This time it's ...... Double attack.

What are you talking about? The Doctor's face changed all of a sudden.

A double attack is when two monsters appear at the same time. It can be in the same place or in different places.

So far, there have only been two recorded double attacks, and this is the third.

Where does the second monster appear?

The assistant smiled wryly.

Three kilometers away. Let us flee, for if we do not flee, we will surely die.

At this time, Xiaohong had already rushed to South Africa, and it was impossible for her to turn back and deal with this second monster.

But...... The doctor looked back at the mountain of research, then gritted his teeth and began to sort it all together, as if he wanted to take them all away.

It's too late, Doctor, the monster is coming out of the black hole in a moment, so get out of the way.

I...... I don't want to give up my research! And the antidote will be there soon.

As long as I'm here, your research can continue.

The doctor glanced at Xiao Cheng, his face full of unwillingness. But he had no choice but to leave.

The institute was already in chaos at this point, and people were scrambling to escape from here.

But Orange suddenly disappeared.

Little Orange - Little Orange - I desperately called.

But an earth-shattering roar drowned out my shouts. A huge monster emerged from a black hole and landed on the ground.

Not far in front of the monster, Little Orange, who had lost his sight, was confronting the monster.

Little Orange - Come back soon -

But she didn't seem to hear it. All I could see was her lifting a bus with all her might.

Of course, this is already very powerful for ordinary people, but it is still far from her sister Xiaohong. Xiaohong can even lift the building easily. Little Orange lifted the bus to the limit.

She threw the bus at the monster and smashed it on its feet. The monster slapped her with a palm.

Despite losing her eyesight, she still has hearing. Little Orange quickly dodged the palm.

Roar -

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came and I almost had to cover my ears and fall to the ground, even if I was still far away.

It's a bad thing.

Xiao Cheng, who was stimulated by the strong sound, fainted again on the spot.
