Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Salvation

Beneath him, she could feel Li Ang’s heart still beating, but he had obviously lost consciousness.

Catina finally stood up and only after clearing her vision did she realize the full extent of the devastating consequences the tornado had wrought.

Li Ang’s originally smooth back now resembled an oil painting haphazardly splashed on by a child.

Red from arterial blood, dark red from venous blood, pink from lacerated muscles, yellow from subcutaneous fat, purple from bruising, brown from the mud…

With all her strength, Catina hoisted Li Ang’s arm over her shoulder.

She had considered going for help herself and then coming back for Li Ang, but she feared leaving him here alone could lead to other dangers.

What if the tornado circled back? What if they encountered a ravenous wild dog?

Perhaps it wasn’t the best solution, but she had one simple thought: to get Li Ang out of there.

…

By now, the police station was a complete mess due to the sudden tornado disaster; the 911 number was nearly overwhelmed with calls.

And Tyler had left the police station at the first hint of the tornado disaster.

The location of the tornado outbreak was not far from where they lived.

Moreover, today Catina had mentioned they were going out to shoot a video. Compounding the worry, neither Catina’s nor Li Ang’s phones could be reached.

Although unreachable phones could be due to a damaged signal tower nearby, Tyler still couldn’t calm himself down.

He twisted the motorcycle’s throttle to the max, planning to search each place his sister could have possibly gone to.

On the other side, Sheila had just gotten off her plane when she received news of a tornado disaster near the town where she lived.

The first thing she did was to attempt to call Li Ang, but the call wouldn’t go through.

After a moment of thought, she dialed Charles’s number, and this time the call connected.

But her mood sank even lower because this indicated that the town hadn’t experienced a widespread loss of mobile signal. However, Li Ang’s had disappeared, suggesting his current location was incredibly dangerous.

“Hey, Charles, is Li Ang with you?” she asked.

Charles’s voice sounded anxious over the phone.

“No, I’ve just been to his house looking for him, and nobody’s there. I’m sure I saw him in the yard this morning; he must have gone out.”

“I’ve just found Uncle Wilson, and we’re both going to look for him,” he said.

…

After hanging up, Sheila immediately thought of another number.

Soon, the Hillsboro City Fire Department received an urgent notice to conduct search and rescue in the area affected by the tornado.

“Captain, it’s only an EF1 Level tornado with a maximum wind speed of about 150 kilometers per hour. The meteorological department says it seems to have missed residential areas. Except for those unlucky ones who were hit directly, it shouldn’t have caused any casualties, right? Do we need a full deployment?” asked Mike.

“Mike, I hope you will speed up your work before you stop your ceaseless chatter. Similarly, you only need to know that it’s an order from the higher-ups; no need for so many opinions of your own,” responded the captain.

“Alright, alright, who said saving people from fire and water isn’t our duty, right?” agreed Mike.

Tyler, struggling to suppress his restless emotions, finally saw a “conjoined zombie” moving slowly across the grass toward the road before the tires of his bike started to smoke.

He hurriedly threw down the bike and sprinted in that direction.

At that moment, Catina’s hair was as disheveled as a ball of yarn played with by a cat, her originally white T-shirt now dyed brown in front by mud and red at the back by blood.

Her arms and legs were also covered in bloodstains everywhere.

And the Li Ang on her back was even less viewable, his body covered everywhere with injuries and dried bloodstains.

Tyler rushed over, the first thing he wanted to do was lay Li Ang flat on the ground to perform some necessary emergency measures.

At that moment, Catina hadn’t even reacted yet; her body subconsciously wanted to resist Tyler touching Li Ang.

By the time she finally realized that she had been rescued, she only managed to say “help!” before she too passed out.

Although Catina was his sister, Tyler could clearly distinguish that Li Ang was more seriously injured at the time.

Just by looking at the distribution of injuries on both of them, he could tell that Li Ang had definitely borne the brunt of the damage for his sister.

He first checked Li Ang’s vital signs and, fortunately, even though his breathing was a bit weak, his heartbeat was still steady.

Moreover, although the wound on his back looked terrifying, the most lethal blood loss had apparently already stopped to a degree.

Having reported the coordinates, he was worried about how to get both people to the hospital in the shortest time when the siren of the fire truck started to wail.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctors were quite amazed to find that some of Li Ang’s minor wounds had already partially healed.

And the wound that had hit an artery had slowed his blood loss thanks to his body’s self-healing ability.

Cleaning the wound on his back alone took half a day to complete, and the wound needed more than thirty stitches.

Thankfully, after a thorough assessment, the wounds on Li Ang’s back looked horrifying, but there were actually no serious injuries.

His bones and internal organs showed no signs of damage.

In such a scenario, aside from disinfecting the wound and using some anti-inflammatory drugs, there weren’t many other options available; all they could do was wait for the body to heal itself.

By the time Li Ang finally regained consciousness, he had been unconscious in the hospital bed for a full day and night.

He was almost completely wrapped up like a rice dumpling, with an IV in his hand, and the hospital room was filled with many people.

“He moved, he moved.”

The speaker was Charles, who looked at Li Ang’s eyelids flicker with some surprise.

Quickly, the crowd, previously scattered around the ward, all gathered together at once.

Sheila, Catina, Tyler, Charles, the Erick Brothers, and Uncle Wilson were all present.

People like Sheila, Catina, Tyler, and Charles hadn’t even left the hospital last night; they had been vigilantly waiting here.

Li Ang opened his eyes and managed a weak smile, saying in a frail voice:

“I feel pretty good right now, just a bit hungry.”

Since he couldn’t eat while lying on the hospital bed, he had to rely on glucose drips to maintain his energy intake, which significantly impacted the healing speed of his wounds.

Before long, all kinds of food were brought over.

Catina, holding a bowl of seafood pumpkin soup, was about to feed it to Li Ang, but Sheila, standing beside her, reminded:

“Your arm is still injured; let me do it.”

“But Miss Sheila, you haven’t rested well at all last night. Please, take a break.”

Their eyes clashed in the air, and ultimately it was Charles who fed the pumpkin soup to Li Ang’s lips.

Li Ang sipped the seafood pumpkin soup while also directing a portion of his attention to his attribute panel.

Although the tornado had tossed him around violently, it seemed he had also gained quite a lot.
