Chapter 3: Fighting the wolf with bare hands and saving it bravely
The wolf loosened its mouth in severe pain, but the pain only aroused its wildness even more.
Faced with the crazy attacks of the two wild wolves, Grace could only tightly grasp the only weapon in her hand and continue to stab their bodies.
However, this cost her a heavy price, and she was covered with wounds. She tried her best, but she only managed to kill a wild wolf by chance.
Just when she thought she was about to be killed by the wolf, a huge hand suddenly smashed the other wild wolf that pounced on her to the side.
A low and cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Are you okay?"
Grace looked up in surprise, and what caught her eyes were the man's sharp eyebrows and eyes, as well as his determination and ferocity when facing the wild wolf that pounced on him again.
The pain in her body brought her back to her senses, and Grace couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that she was distracted at this time.
Unlike Grace, the man had no weapons in his hands, but he used his sandbag-sized fists to beat the wolf, causing it to howl in pain and finally turn around and run away timidly.
After killing the wolf, Austin turned around and looked at Grace, who was lying on the ground with wounds all over her body. He just reached out to help her up, but saw a knife between them.
" I have no ill intentions." Austin took his hand back with a calm expression on his face, "I just saw that you needed help."
Grace also realized that her defense just now was a bit extreme, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "Sorry, this is a subconscious reaction."
"I understand." Austin said, and turned to leave.
Grace was anxious, but she could only grit her teeth, stand up and try to follow.
However, her thigh was bitten too badly by the wolf, and as soon as she took a step, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Her right leg hit the ground hard again, and the pain made her tears well up.
Austin stopped in his tracks when he heard the noise behind him. He thought Grace would be on guard, so he didn't plan to get close.
But obviously, her situation is not optimistic.
Seeing Grace crying in pain, Austin had to walk up to her again: "Do you have any companions?"
" Yes... but they left me and ran away." Grace drooped her eyes slightly, and her tone revealed a hint of loneliness.
Austin frowned. Leaving his companion in such a place would be like sending her into the wolf's mouth.
He held out his hand to Grace again: "My car is over there. If you want to leave here, you can come with us."
Grace's heart trembled when she heard the word "we".
The man in front of her was full of righteousness and had just saved her life...
However, thinking of the two men who seemed honest but had evil intentions, she couldn't help but feel hesitant.
But in the end, Grace decided to take a gamble. After all, if she didn't take the gamble, she would die if she stayed here.
If you escape from the wolf's mouth and fall into the tiger's den, the worst that can happen is death.
Austin picked up Grace easily . To him, her weight was nothing.
The car was not far away. Seeing Austin coming with someone in his arms, the man in the driver's seat immediately got out of the car and greeted him: "Austin, Huzi has a fever."
Hearing this, Austin's heart sank: "Got it."
Austin?
When Grace heard this name, she became even more curious about Austin's identity.
This SUV has seven seats. She was placed in the back seat. On the seat behind her was a man with a flushed face. He must be the Hu Zi they were talking about.
Grace was very quiet the whole way. She hadn't spoken since she got on the car. She even took things out of her bag very quietly.
The sky gradually darkened, but the car didn't show any sign of stopping. Grace couldn't help but feel strange: "Aren't you going to find a place to rest?"
The man driving the car was named Brighton. He heard the girl's voice and then remembered that there was a new passenger in the car.
Seeing that Austin in the passenger seat had closed his eyes and didn't intend to speak, Brighton had to answer for him: "No rest, we have to drive out overnight. Our friend is injured and needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Grace's eyes lit up slightly: "Is it an external injury?"
"Yes." Brighton didn't say much.
"I'm a surgeon. If the wound isn't serious, I can help you first." Grace offered.
" It's serious. You probably can't handle it." Brighton said.
In the passenger seat, Austin opened his eyes when Grace said she was a surgeon. He looked at her in the rearview mirror.
Although she had rolled on the ground several times and her face was covered with a lot of dirt, but after removing the stains, her facial features were actually very delicate and beautiful.
Obviously, she was also on guard. After getting on the bus, she did not wipe her face clean even though there was water at hand, and even deliberately smeared some dirt on her face.
Grace was belatedly aware of Austin's gaze. When her eyes met his, he did not avoid her, but instead frightened Grace and quickly lowered her head.
Austin thought Grace was a woman who was sometimes brave and sometimes timid. In fact , Grace was indeed scared.
She was a girl, staying with three men, one of whom was a patient. It would be a lie to say she was not afraid.
"I see you have a medical kit. If it's just to treat an external injury, I can handle a more serious one..." Grace was eager to make herself valuable.
Austin saw her urgency. So when Brighton was about to refuse, he asked first, "Can the gunshot wound be treated?"
"Gun?" In this country where guns are banned, Grace never expected it to be a gunshot wound.
But she was only surprised for a moment, and quickly regained her composure: "It depends on the specific location. Injuries in different locations have different difficulties and dangers in treatment."
" You don't look big." Austin said. Medical students' studies take a long time.
"Don't worry, although I'm young, I've already graduated with a Ph.D." Grace said.
"PhD graduate? Impossible?" Brighton looked at her suspiciously, and felt more and more that she was bragging.
"Nothing is impossible. I have had excellent grades since I was young. I skipped several grades and studied for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself on the Internet once you get an internet connection." Grace said calmly.
Brighton was convinced: "A top student..."
You know, he, a poor student, has always envied the top students.
"Take a look and see if Hu Zi's injury can be treated." Austin said directly. Grace responded and then moved to the back seat. At Austin 's reminder, she checked the location where Jack was shot.
Jack was shot in the abdomen, and Austin and the others could only help him treat the wound. The gauze was already soaked with blood.
Grace checked the medicines in the medicine box again. I have to say, they are well prepared, even including a bottle of local anesthetic.
Since Grace was sure she could handle the wound, Austin and Brighton found a sheltered spot and set up the tent before it got completely dark.
When the tent was set up, Grace was carried inside by Austin...
