Chapter 340: Wolf Team Doctor—Xiaqing

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Wolf Team Doctor—Xiaqing

"The Qiang Synthesized Poison content in its blood is very low. If we can put together two doses of the right antidote, we can cure it."

After analyzing the Head Wolf’s blood, the Green Dragon Team’s doctor, Wang Shunhong, compared it to Brother Luo’s case. Looking at this wolf’s condition, he couldn’t help but feel it was incredibly lucky.

Captain Yang was on his way with the key antidote herb. It was a medicine Captain Yang had spent over a month and traveled thousands of kilometers to find, all to detoxify Brother Luo. If Brother Luo could have used this medicine within 24 hours of being poisoned, he wouldn’t have suffered for the past six months.

After examining the external wound on the Head Wolf’s leg, Chang Li consulted Doctor Wang, "Is the antidote taken orally or applied topically? Can the wound on this wolf’s leg be sutured now?"

"Orally. And yes, you can suture it." Wang Shunhong looked at the Head Wolf lying quietly on the wooden board under anesthesia and sighed, "These Evolutionary Wolves are too smart. They might not know how to make an antidote, but they know that bloodletting can remove poison. Miss Xia, may I see that Injuring Snake?"

"Of course. You can just call me Xiaqing." Xiaqing immediately went to the second floor, retrieved the refrigerated Injuring Snake from the refrigerator, and handed it to Doctor Wang. "This is the only one. From what I could gather from the Wolf Group, the Head Wolf was likely bitten by this type of snake."

Hu Zifeng and Chang Li, who had never seen an Injuring Snake in person, also gathered around, staring at it intently.

Chang Li corrected Xiaqing’s statement. "Injuring Snakes are extremely rare, and the concentration of Qiang Synthesized Poison in the Head Wolf’s body is very low. This has to be the snake that bit it."

Hu Zifeng chimed in with his own speculation, "The Head Wolf probably collapsed, and the pack didn’t know which wound was from the Injuring Snake, so they just tore open all the wounds on its leg."

"That’s possible." Wang Shunhong asked Chang Li to suture the external wounds on the Head Wolf’s leg first. He would return to No.1 Territory to prepare the antidote according to the Head Wolf’s poisoning level. Once the Captain arrived with the most crucial ingredient, they could add it to the antidote and administer it to the wolf.

The sooner the medicine is administered after poisoning, the less damage the body sustains.

Jing Kuan escorted Wang Shunhong back, while Hu Zifeng stayed behind to protect Chang Li. It was necessary to leave someone for protection; the team doctor was a vital member of the team. Xiaqing’s territory had both wolves and sheep, and if one of them went crazy and hurt Chang Li, the Green Dragon Team would suffer a great loss.

Xiaqing also stayed inside, soothingly stroking the Head Wolf’s neck while carefully watching how Chang Li sutured the wound. Chang Li knew Xiaqing wanted to learn, so she explained as she worked.

The two of them, one teaching and one learning, were completely focused. Hu Zifeng stood nearby, glancing from the Head Wolf to Xiaqing. He was bursting with questions he couldn’t ask, and it was killing him.

Last night, Hu Zifeng had personally witnessed a giant wolf carrying Xiaqing away from the Third Territory. Then this morning, he had watched on camera as Xiaqing scrambled back from the north, following a pack of wolves that were carrying her goods.

Besides a few burlap sacks, she had also brought back three injured wolves. She must have gone to Mountain No.60.

’Who won last night’s battle on Mountain No.60, the bear or the wolves? Has Xiaqing evolved an ability to speak with animals? Otherwise, how could she communicate with the Wolf Group?’

’If she really has evolved the ability to communicate with beasts, then she’d be truly invincible!’

Sensing the escalating emotions of the human standing nearby, the quietly lying Head Wolf swiveled its eyes—the only part of its body it could move—to stare at him.

Hu Zifeng took a step back, afraid of getting the scent of wolf on him. If he did, his Little Fifth wouldn’t let him get close when he got back.

BZZZT—

Xiaqing felt her phone vibrate. She pulled it out, glanced at it, and stood up. "Captain Hu, Sister Li, Captain Yang is here. I’ll go get him." ℯℯ𝘭.

Hu Zifeng stood up. "Should I go?"

That wouldn’t do. Xiaqing still had to take Yang Jin to the Spring Cave to dig up the Qiangwu Grass. "Captain Hu, you stay here and protect Sister Li," she said. "Captain Yang and I have things to discuss. First, Second, you two stay here too. Don’t let the wolf in the sheep pen cause any trouble."

Xiaqing turned off the surveillance monitors in her territory and hurried to the Northern Isolation Zone to meet Yang Jin. She led him into the low-slope greenhouse. "The two plants look exactly the same as when they were planted. Captain Yang, which one do you think we should dig up?"

"No need to dig. I asked the Team doctor; two leaves are enough." Yang Jin used a sharp, narrow-bladed dagger to quickly slice off two leaves from the Qiangwu Grass and place them in a prepared box. He turned and asked Xiaqing, "Based on your experience, does this cut need any medicine?"

Because the Spring Cave was very small, this was the closest Yang Jin had ever been to Xiaqing.

Xiaqing stared for a moment at the two drops of clear sap oozing from the cut on the colorless, transparent Qiangwu Grass, then shook her head. "No, the sap has already sealed the cut. Besides, I don’t know what kind of antiseptic would be appropriate for this plant."

Xiaqing turned her head and only then realized she was a bit close to Yang Jin. His face was striking from a distance, but up close, it was even more bewildering.

The three scars on Yang Jin’s face had already scabbed over, but his face and ears were bright red. Xiaqing wasn’t one for romantic fantasies; she wasn’t arrogant enough to think that the great Captain Yang, who had rejected all the women in the entire base, was blushing because he was close to her.

’Captain Yang’s face must be this red because he was exhausted from rushing all the way here.’

Having just sprinted sixty *li* under a heavy load herself, Xiaqing knew exactly what a body felt like after such a run. "Thank you for making the trip, Captain Yang. Would you like some water?"

Yang Jin cleared his slightly hoarse throat and replied, "Yes."

Unexpectedly, Xiaqing led him to the small cabin by the farmland again. The cabin was empty; the wolf must be getting treated back at her house.

Xiaqing poured a cup of spring water and handed it to Yang Jin. "Sister Li is at my house suturing the Head Wolf’s wound right now. It wouldn’t be convenient to serve you spring water back there."

Yang Jin took it and drank it all in one gulp.

Having been notified, Doctor Wang arrived with the prepared antidote. He squeezed the juice from the two Qiangwu Grass leaves into it and then handed two vials of medicine to Xiaqing. "Both of these are to be taken orally. Give one after the wolf wakes up from the anesthesia, and the other 12 hours later. We’ll draw blood again tomorrow to check the detoxification progress and see if more medication is needed."

After asking about the storage requirements for the medicine, Xiaqing turned to look at Yang Jin.

Yang Jin took the hint. "You should go back and give the wolf the antidote first. I have other matters to attend to. We can discuss the price of the medicine when we have time."

The antidote didn’t just use the Qiangwu Grass; it also contained other herbs the Green Dragon Team had painstakingly collected, which were not cheap either.

After seeing Doctor Wang and Yang Jin off, Xiaqing immediately rushed home, placed the medicine in the refrigerator to cool, and went back to the table-turned-operating-station to continue learning how to suture severe wounds.

After the suturing was done, Xiaqing had only one concern. "Sister Li, will the fur on the wolf’s leg grow back?"

"Some of it will." Chang Li took off her surgical gloves. "If you want it to recover better, you can trade with Territory Land No. 7 for medicine that removes scars and treats skin damage."

’Medicine for skin damage? I have that. The Body Injury Healing Potion my idol prepared for me will work.’ "Sister Li, how many days will it take for the wound on its leg to heal?"

Chang Li disinfected her hands. "This is a High Level Evolution Wolf. If it avoids strenuous activity, the wound should heal in five to seven days. However, recovering its muscle Strength will take at least a month. I can’t yet determine the extent of its recovery."

"It will definitely make a full recovery," Xiaqing said with confidence. ’Once the skin has healed, I can start the medicine soaks. The medicine I spent eight hundred thousand to trade for has top-notch effects!’

Seeing Xiaqing continuously stroking the brownish-gray she-wolf’s fur, Chang Li’s own hands started to itch. But she didn’t dare to reach out rashly; Evolutionary Wolves were intelligent and held grudges. "Did the wolf in the yard break both its hind legs?"

Xiaqing led Chang Li into the yard and asked her to examine the other wolf’s leg. "Yes, a bear probably broke them."

Chang Li observed from a distance before drawing a conclusion. "I’ll fit it with professional Protective Equipment. You’re very experienced in caring for wolves like this. It should recover in a month."

After saying this, Chang Li couldn’t help but smile. "Xiaqing, your role now is a lot like mine. I’m the Green Dragon Team’s team doctor, and you’re the Wolf Team Doctor."

Xiaqing...

After Chang Li finished treating this wolf’s leg, Xiaqing gave her ten pecans. Of course, Doctor Wang and Hu Zifeng got some too.

If Yang Jin hadn’t been in such a rush to come and go, Xiaqing would have liked to give him a few as well.
