Chapter 292: Chapter 285 Capable of Repair

Time trickled past, and Wang Ning had already come to the side of Liu Deguang and Nie Erlong.

Suddenly there were two more injured, the situation was a bit troublesome, and Wang Ning had just been braving a hail of bullets to give emergency treatment to Liu Deguang’s wounds.

"Tungsten core sabot-armor-piercing rounds caused a penetrating injury, you’re really lucky!"

Nie Erlong was so sweaty from pain, but Wang Ning said to him very seriously, "After so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen such a perfect through-and-through wound!"

Being hit by a machine gun bullet, no matter where one is hit, it’s definitely going to leave a hole; there would be no doubt about that, especially with the entry wound being smaller and exit wound being larger, like a trumpet-shaped hole.

But the location where Nie Erlong was hit was in the calf, where the bullet had made a perfect little hole through his leg muscle.

"If it hit the bone, your leg would be broken."

Wang Ning poked a stick into Nie Erlong’s wound, then he couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Your bone’s fine, and you’re not losing blood severely. It seems like it just went through the tendon, and even did not completely sever it. You’re really so lucky."

Nie Erlong bit his lip, sweat flowing down his face like water, then he said fiercely, "You seem quite happy poking around with that stick, don’t you!"

Wang Ning let out a breath, saying, "I’m probing the wound, don’t cry, bear with it, be a man."

Nie Erlong really wanted to curse, but he bitterly held back the swear words about to burst forth, roaring, "That’s sweat! It hurts!"

Wang Ning quickly jammed a roll of gauze through Nie Erlong’s wound, and Nie Erlong trembled from the pain, almost fainting.

"Sorry about that, cleaning the wound is necessary, just this once, only this time."

Nie Erlong barely dared to breathe, slowly exhaling, but then he found Wang Ning ripping open a one-time use plastic stick and wrapping gauze around it.

"Didn’t you say... just one time? Ah!"

Nie Erlong let out another scream as Wang Ning pulled out the plastic stick, saying, "The first was for cleaning the wound, now I’m applying medicine. The more it hurts now, the faster you’ll recover in the future. Can’t you man up? Alright, alright, stop yelling."

Nie Erlong was almost fainting, holding his breath, slowly releasing it, and then he weakly said, "Where’s the anesthetic? You could use some anesthetic on me, where is it?"

"Well, we don’t have much anesthetic left and it’s still in the car, and there’s only a little bit in the first-aid kit, better save it for Mr. Liu, your little wound hurts but it won’t kill you."

Nie Erlong struggled to speak, "I... damn it, I can wait, can’t you get the anesthetic for me to use?"

"Time is life, no time to spare."

Wrapping Nie Erlong’s leg rapidly with gauze, quickly tying a knot, Wang Ning turned and walked away.

"Is that it?"

"That’s it."

Nie Erlong lay on the ground, slowly placing his curled-up leg on the ground, then gritting his teeth he said, "I just... just... forget it..."

Wang Ning then came to Liu Deguang’s side, then he shouted to Panxin, "Er Long has a through-and-through injury, already cleaned up. Mr. Liu’s injury is more troublesome, but neither are life-threatening."

"Received!"

Panxin gestured to Li Jingang, then he whispered into the walkie-talkie, "Quickly retrieve our weapons, construct a fire point close by to prevent the enemy from attacking again. I’ll check the car, Nemesis, quickly survey the surroundings."

Gao Yuan whispered, "I’ll go up the mountain to occupy the high ground, otherwise, if the enemy comes, we still can’t detect them."

Panxin hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The enemy might have planted booby traps. I’m not at ease with you going to the mountain by yourself, and besides, setting up a position on the mountain top is of no use."

"Bring a heavy machine gun up there!" Cao Zhenjiang immediately said. "I’ll go with Song Qian and help him set up a machine gun position to cover you guys while you repair the vehicle."

"Wait a minute..."

Lying on the ground, with blood pooled beneath him, Liu Deguang weakly said, "Let me check the vehicle. If it can’t be fixed, then we should just evacuate."

Wang Ning was treating Liu Deguang’s wound; upon hearing his words, Wang Ning frowned and asked, "Can you do it?"

"I have to, even if I can’t."

Liu Deguang took a breath, then asked Wang Ning, "I’m not going to die, right?"

Wang Ning confidently said, "You won’t die with me here."

Gao Yuan had already leapt from his hiding place and ran back to Liu Deguang’s side, while Xinghe, thinking the situation was under control, tried to stand up from the ground, but was loudly told by Li Yang beside her, "Xinghe, don’t move! Stay down!"

Cao Zhenjiang and Song Qian lifted a heavy machine gun out of the vehicle and quickly set it up beside the vehicle, with Yu Shunzhou bringing over two boxes of ammunition to place next to the heavy machine gun.

Everyone was busy, but they worked methodically. On this flat wasteland, the combat distance was at least six to seven hundred meters, even up to a kilometer; the range of the assault rifles was too short. It was necessary to set up the heavy machine gun first; otherwise, if the enemy came again, there wouldn’t be any firepower to suppress them.

When Gao Yuan saw Liu Deguang’s wound, he took in a sharp breath and exclaimed, "Oh my God, that’s severe..."

Liu Deguang had a wound on his right rib. His clothes had been cut open, his body armor taken off, revealing a long gash, flesh burst and gaping in a terrifying way, though the blood wasn’t flowing too fast.

Wang Ning said in a grave voice, "The bullet penetrated the body armor, grazing past. The injury is serious, but not lethal; don’t be afraid."

That ’don’t be afraid’ wasn’t clear; if it was meant to reassure Gao Yuan or Liu Deguang.

Liu Deguang’s face twisted with pain, but he still said, "Yeah, not afraid."

At that moment, Nie Erlong groaned.

Liu Deguang inhaled sharply, and as he breathed in, his lungs expanded, making the wound seem even larger.

"Come on, start the engine so I can listen."

Wang Ning made a quick gesture with his hand, and Gao Yuan hurried to say, "I’ll go, I’ll go."

Gao Yuan climbed into the vehicle, turned the key, and only the starter motor made a whirring sound. The engine briefly made a clanging noise, then went silent again.

Gao Yuan poked his head out, and Liu Deguang sighed, "The engine block is completely penetrated. This one’s done for, next."

Gao Yuan jumped down from the off-road vehicle and moved over to the truck they had obtained from Pakistan. He tried to start it again, and to his surprise, the vehicle briefly caught fire. Then he looked toward Liu Deguang.

Liu Deguang looked helpless as he said, "The crankshaft snapped. It can start up now, but it’s going to seize after not going far and is still junk. Next, move me over."

The truck that had come all the way from Shenzhou looked very pitiful now, with several bullet holes at the front, engine oil spilled all over, and as Gao Yuan hadn’t even gotten onto the truck yet, Liu Deguang’s face was filled with sorrow.

After Gao Yuan got onto the truck and started it, the engine roared to life, and Liu Deguang hurriedly said, "Off! Turn it off quickly, extinguish it!"

Wang Ning quickly signaled, and Gao Yuan immediately shut off the engine. Then Liu Deguang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The oil pan is punctured, and the radiator is leaking. It won’t last long, but it can be fixed!"
