Chapter 285


    The new town was small, and it took less than five miles to get to the west side. Ste pedaled her


    mountain bike swiftly, reaching her destination in less than 20 minutes.


    The ce was remote, surrounded by no signs of a skirmish - only an old car that was about


    halfway past its prime.


    The two sat in the car. Kitty took a shot to the arm, the bullet still lodged inside. She had lost a lot of


    blood, her face pale.


    Ang tied a makeshift bandage around Kitty''s wounded arm to stop the bleeding. She, too, was


    covered in blood from multiple wounds but was not in immediate danger.


    In the backseaty five male bodies. It seemed a brutal fight had taken ce, with Ang and Kitty


    emerging victorious and driving away from the scene of the crime.


    Now, the most pressing task was to remove the bullet from Kitty''s arm and stop the bleeding.


    Otherwise, her life would be at risk.


    Ste took off her backpack, saying, "I carry a few emergency medical supplies, but not much."


    She took out some rudimentary surgical tools, disinfectant, cotton, and sutures.


    Ang had been cut with a knife, but had managed to stop the bleeding. "My wounds are not


    severe," she said. "Just focus on saving Kitty."


    The women were part of a local patrol unit, always ready with basic first aid supplies. But they


    hadn''t expected a situation this dire where even the cotton and bandages weren''t enough.


    Cody and Lukas had been running hard to reach them. When Cody heard of Kitty''s condition, he


    paled and nervously asked, "What happened?"


    Ang exined their encounter with a gang conflict while on patrol. They had decided to


    intervene, seeing the ample resources at stake. After all, survival of the fittest was the harsh reality


    of their world. Unexpectedly, the opponent had been hiding his true strength, only revealing his gun


    at the very brink of life and death. Fortunately, both girls were skilled and risked their lives to win the


    gamble.


    After half an hour of anxious waiting, Cody saw the car door finally open. "How is she?" he asked


    Ste nervously.


    "The bullet is out," Ste replied. "But she''s lost a lot of blood. Whether she makes it depends on


    her own now."


    Without a hospital nearby to perform a blood transfusion, they had to leave it to fate.


    Cody looked at Kitty worriedly as Ste focused on treating Ang''s wounds.


    With limited anesthesia, Ang gritted her teeth through the pain as Ste disinfected and stitched


    up her wounds.


    Once the injuries were taken care of, they had to deal with the bodies. They drove to a deste


    area and dumped them in a forest. In a world where death wasmonce, no one would


    investigate.


    In the trunk of their car, they found a box of medicine, a box of cured meat, and supplies of rice,


    salt, sugar, and half a box each of cigarettes and alcohol.


    Ste prepared a sugar water drink for Kitty and Ang to replenish their strength. Then they drove


    back home, with Ste sorting through the medicine on the way.


    As for how to handle the car, Ste wasn''t foolish enough to ask.


    Ang took out a few bottles of medicine and two packets of sugar, "Ste, thanks for your help


    today." This was for countering the consumption of anesthetics and other drugs. Since she had


    known them for so long, Ste didn''t refuse and took the supplies and packed them into her bag.


    Ste then returned home, where she found Jasper waiting for her. After exining everything that


    had happened, she went to bed, exhausted but safe.


    Kitty''s willpower was strong, and she managed to endure it. Even Ste admired her tenacious


    vitality. After more than ten days, Ste went to help her remove the stitches, and at the same time,


    she didn''t forget to give Cody and Lukas what they wanted most.


    She told Jasper about this. The condoms were collected by Ste, so Jasper had no objections, as


    long as he got to keep what he needed.


    Ste didn''t understand all of it, so she kept what seemed to fit for Jasper and took some of the rest.


    Coming back from the brink of death was all thanks to Ste''s help. Kitty''s cold face softened a lot,


    "Ste, thank you."


    "We''re not strangers."


    Disinfecting and stitching up was done quickly.


    Cody and Lukas were both at work, and Ang was not around, so Ste had to give her two bags


    of condoms.


    Seeing clearly what was in the bag, Kitty was especially indifferent, "This is not easy to find. What


    can I exchange for it with you?" She had looked for condoms and they were rmingly expensive.


    Ste told the truth, "We were harassed by gangs and almost got blown to bits. In a fit of anger, we


    raided their hideout. This stuff is a windfall. We can''t use it all. If you need it in the future, just let us


    know."


    The weather was too extreme to preserve it, so she only took enough for half a year, "The police


    don''t know about this, so please keep it confidential."


    "Don''t worry. I''m not a gossip."


    The car has been dealt with and a batch of materials has been received. Kitty took out tworge


    boxes of sealed truffle, "There''s nothing good, you take this."


    Ste declined a few times before epting.


    It''s only by giving and receiving that rtionships canst long. Otherwise, once a habit is formed, it


    may actually be harmful to both parties.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
