Section 10: Awakening
Sarah's movements were swift, and in no time, she had prepared the potion in her hand. She looked up at the little boy Toby and revealed a gentle smile
The man is suffering from a persistent high fever, a condition that would normally be of little concern to Sarah. However, it is strange that Sarah cannot find the cause of the man's fever. This poses a bit of a problem. According to Sarah's common knowledge, if such a high fever persists for a few more days, even a healthy person could be cooked alive, let alone the battered man before her. Although his body is as strong as an ox, he cannot withstand the onslaught of the persistent fever. Sarah decides that if the man does not wake up in a few days, she will dispose of him.

Currently, a man is lying in her compartment. His clothes have been removed by her, and his bare body is covered in scars. There are also several fresh wounds, among which the most striking feature is the grotesquely twisted state of his hands. The torn skin even reveals pale bone fragments.
She is very attentive. Every inch of the man's scars is carefully treated with ointment. Especially his hands; Sarah does not know what kind of battle could inflict such terrible injuries on the man before her. But he is clearly a brave warrior. The most severely injured areas are his hands, which indicates that he has been fighting hard.
The man's hand injuries were severe; if left in a typical setting, he would undoubtedly be beyond help. However, it was different in Sarah's hands. She was a pharmacist, and an exceptionally skilled one at that. Sarah was unsure of her rank according to the guild's assessment, but after spending so much time in the brigade, she had no idea how many lives she had saved. Therefore, she was completely confident in her ability to heal the man's hands. The only headache she faced was the condition of the patient.

That is the reason we have not yet reached the big city. In this world, there are many large cities whose facilities have not been destroyed. The amenities there are well-developed. You can breathe filtered fresh air and drink clean pure water, as long as you have money
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipate, and a rare ray of sunlight quietly bathes the earth. This is a rare good weather on planet X35
The little girl was engrossed in tinkering with something. Upon hearing the little boy's shouting, she replied without looking up, "Toby, stop making a fuss. You've already called out many times along the way. Is the wilderness really that fun?"
The truck bumped along, still making its slow progress. As the truck swayed, Blood Eye felt as if he had entered a dream
"I understand, sister," the little boy replied impatiently, still greedily gazing outside. "But I really love the feeling of exposing myself to the sunlight. It's so warm and so comfortable. You can't experience that at the gathering point"
She applied the last bit of ointment onto the man's hands. Sarah then gently placed a bag of ice on the man's forehead. Ice was a luxury item. Even ice made from wastewater was not something people of this era should enjoy. Therefore, Sarah was very frugal when using this ice, ensuring that not a single drop was wasted. After completing these tasks, she stood up and walked out of the cubicle
The skills of a pharmacist are undoubtedly important, but herbs are also precious in this world. Sarah does not intend to waste her valuable herbs on a man who is destined to die
A pair of tattered boxing gloves lay beside the man. They were the only thing of any value on him. However, they were now also stained with the man's blood
In the vast and boundless wasteland, a lizard stealthily poked its head out from the cave m. hetushucomcom. It furtively surveyed a small sand mouse not far away. That was its neighbor. The lizard had been watching it for a long time. The weather was pleasant today, and the small sand mouse had also come out to forage. The lizard felt gratified to see that its patience had not been in vain
Startled, Xue Tong awoke from the dream
"Understood, sister." The little boy playfully stuck out his tongue. Then, he reluctantly glanced outside once more before turning back into the carriage
It is worth mentioning that Sarah holds a good position in this brigade. Not only does she reside in the most well-equipped truck, but she also has a separate compartment within the cabin. Although this compartment is quite simple, measuring less than two square meters, Sarah is already very satisfied. It is important to note that most people, in order to secure a spot in the brigade, only have a place to sit.
But we have no money, do we
Hearing the innocent words of the little boy, the little girl smiled faintly. She continued to lower her head, fiddling with the object in her hands. It was a wooden mortar, and the contents had already been ground into a paste.
"Sister, look, look! That little guy is so fast." A small boy on top of a dilapidated truck at the front of the caravan exclaimed upon witnessing the scene. Beside him was a little girl dressed in a coarse cloth skirt. Judging by their attire, they appeared to be commoners from the wasteland.
I am going to apply medicine to him. You can stay here for a while and then go back. The pollution in the wild is quite serious. Even you should not expose your skin for too long.
A black dot gradually emerged on the distant horizon. The sound of a motor could be heard from afar. The little sand mouse perked up its ears, its small eyes quickly gazing in that direction. In its tiny front paws, it held a sandworm's egg.
He dreamed that he suddenly arrived at a chaotic and boundless battlefield on a planet, transformed into a monster clad in heavy armor. His armor was unlike any he had seen before, more elongated and athletic in shape, and its functions were even more powerful. Supported by this armor, he possessed immense strength, capable of shattering a concrete wall up to 40 centimeters thick with a single punch. He moved with the grace of a swallow, as swift as the wind. The armor felt weightless on him. He was so strong that he seemed to never feel fatigue, continuously charging through the chaotic battlefield. Before him stood enemies clad in various armors, many of which were formidable. Yet those armors, which usually appeared invincible, became as fragile as paper in his presence. He could tear them apart even with his bare hands. Most impressively, blue energy blades extended from the outer edges of his arms. These blades were sharp as knives, and no enemy could withstand them for even a moment. With these energy blades, he traversed the battlefield, leaving a trail of countless slain foes.
"But Sister Sarah..." the little boy turned around, revealing a cheerful smile. "Even if it's not fun, it's better than a dull gathering point. We waited a long time to catch a weather good enough to set off. Naturally, we should take a good look around."
It is said that although the wilderness of this world is very dangerous, there are always those who enjoy adventure. That fellow is one such person, isn't he
Certainly, the good standing of Sarah and her siblings within this troupe is also related to Sarah's profession
"Yes," Sister Sarah sighed. "I am very sorry, Toby"
"This is not your fault, sister." The little boy gently comforted Sarah. "I am already lucky enough to have you by my side. Sister, you are my greatest treasure and _book_. I love you"
The convoy approached slowly, and clear vibrations resonated through the sandy ground. The little sand mouse was just about to flee when suddenly, a lizard darted up from behind and caught it in its mouth in one swift motion. It then quickly dragged its prey back into its burrow, disappearing in no time.
Sarah quietly walked into the cubicle to tend to the man's wounds
The wilderness is a dangerous place. Terrifying mutated creatures are everywhere. That man was able to run so far from the gathering point to this abandoned 'oasis' by himself. The young boy Toby admired him greatly. So, he and his sister moved the man into the truck. He did not care about the dirt and filth on the man's body, as anyone who ventures into the wild knows how to deal with 'contamination.' However, the injuries on his body were quite severe. The most serious were his hands, which had even broken finger bones. Heaven knows how he managed to survive. Nevertheless, under the care of the brother and sister, this man's life was saved.
"Sister, are you talking about that big brother?" The little boy blinked his innocent big eyes and asked softly
All of this is due to Sarah's efforts. Sarah is a pharmacist. This profession is highly sought after in the post-apocalyptic world. Every convoy or gathering point must have the presence of a pharmacist, serving as a fundamental safeguard in the face of danger encountered in the wild. Only pharmacists can find medicinal materials useful to humanity from the mutated plants that are ubiquitous in the post-apocalyptic environment
Sarah sighed. She also carried the mortar in her hand as she walked towards the carriage
A powerful force roared within, and countless bloodstains blossomed before his eyes. The Blood Eye felt as if he had transformed into an invincible demon god, possessing boundless strength. He frantically attacked every living being he encountered, tearing them apart with his fists, light blades, and claws, as blood gradually accumulated into a lake beneath his feet, and corpses piled up like mountains. Fewer and fewer enemies dared to confront him, until ultimately, no one was willing to face him. The Blood Eye stood alone atop a mountain of corpses, watching as his enemies submitted beneath him.
The little boy is exceptionally handsome, with a head of brilliant golden hair that makes him look like a golden-haired doll. Coupled with a pair of large eyes resembling sapphires, he would undoubtedly be a very attractive young nobleman in high society. The little girl is also beautiful; although she is dressed in a simple coarse cloth skirt, it is tailored very well. Her hair, just as radiant as the little boy's, flows smoothly over her shoulders, resembling a golden waterfall.
The door of the partition closes, transforming this small space into another world
At that moment, Xue Tong habitually glanced at his hands, only to be astonished to find that he was wearing the tattered boxing gloves.
He knows that person. They found him a few days ago when they passed by an abandoned 'oasis'. Perhaps in search of a water source, the person fainted by the puddle at the 'oasis'. His body was covered in filthy dirt and he bore numerous terrifying scars
The black dots on the horizon are getting closer. The sound of engines is gradually increasing, and it is now clear that it is a disordered convoy. Leading the way is a dilapidated truck, swaying and belching black smoke. The vehicle is adorned with a hodgepodge of colorful patterns. This is a type of caravan commonly seen in the wasteland, consisting of free people searching for gathering places and merchants engaged in trade. This rare good weather presents the best opportunity for the caravan to travel.
I love you too, my dear. But that is not a reason for you to procrastinate. You must return to the carriage. I do not wish to spend more time in the evening cleaning up the mess for you. That should have been done by you yourself
