Chapter 65 Fluorescent Lamps That Light Up the Darkness
"You'd better save some strength. If she hears that you want to kill her, she probably won't let us go."
Zhang Ke carefully wiped away the dirt on the wound and poured some vodka directly on the wound, letting it dry naturally with the air flow, so as to completely kill the bacterial colonies on the skin surface - although this method is very rough.
But at this time we can only solve the problem simply and crudely.
Of course, this kind of behavior also comes at a price, that is, Zhang Ke was kicked in the face three or four times by Han Gang who was struggling crazily. The last time he felt that his nose was about to bleed.
"Okay - the disinfection and debridement are almost complete, but..."
Zhang Ke looked worriedly at Han Gang's wound that was still oozing blood. The violent struggle just now, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, made the wound that had finally lost blood a little slower begin to seep out bright red blood again.
"I...do I still have my leg?" Han Gang was a little confused from the pain, and muttered to himself, "Did you fucking amputate me..."
"Don't think so wildly. Your dog's leg is still growing fine, but the wound is still bleeding. It won't work unless it is bandaged."
Zhang Ke glanced at the blankets next to him, but then gave up the idea - although these blankets were soft enough, their water-absorbing properties were too strong. If they were applied to wounds that were bleeding all the time, they would only absorb more water and cause the blood to become thicker.
Get out quickly.
Materials with a softer, smoother texture and less strong water absorption can be used to replace hemostatic bandages, but neither the plush nor the blankets in the box meet this condition.
Zhang Ke looked around and finally focused on himself.
If you want to say that the only thing in the whole house that can replace the bandage is the shirt on your body.
The material of this kind of fabric is flexible enough. Although it has a certain degree of water absorption, it is not too strong. The texture is smooth and solid enough to physically resist blood leakage.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ke immediately tore open the collar of his shirt, pulled off half of the sleeves, poured vodka on it for disinfection, and let it dry naturally for a while.
"You...why are you taking off your clothes?" Han Gang still hadn't recovered from the severe pain. He looked at Zhang Ke in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"I'm not going to help you bandage it." Zhang Ke knelt down and carefully wrapped Han Gang's wound in three layers with the shirt torn into strips.
"In this way, the bleeding should be stopped for the time being, as long as you don't make any big moves."
Zhang Ke was not a very handy person, but the situation forced him to do his best to help Han Gang wrap up the bandage. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and asked: "How is it? Is there anything you can do?"
Feeling more comfortable now?"
"The body...is not as cold as before." Han Gang's energy seemed to have recovered a little. Although his voice was still obviously very weak, there was a slight red color on his lips. "The wound still hurts, but I'm almost used to it.
,fine……"
"Well, that's good, it won't be life-threatening for the time being - you have to hold on and don't get a fever or inflammation. There are no antibiotics here, so I won't be able to do anything at that time." Zhang Ke reminded.
"Okay..." Han Gang straightened his back slightly, sat up straight, and looked at Zhang Ke with a complicated expression.
"You seem to have something to say?" Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Ke caught a glimpse of Han Gang's lips opening, but no sound came out.
"I don't like...owing favors to others." Han Gang said solemnly, "Only others owe me favors."
"Yeah, I can see it." Zhang Ke responded as he tore more shirt fragments into strips, dipped them in vodka to disinfect them, and then changed Han Gang's dressing.
"So, I don't want you to tell others in the future that you saved my life today."
"Oh, I'm not that boring." Zhang Ke said calmly.
——Anyway, I will definitely be reincarnated back to the beginning of today, so this incident will never happen from beginning to end, although Han Gang doesn't know it.
"One month... or three months is fine, no - I can exempt you from the rent for this year." Han Gang said in a hoarse voice, "If you haven't adjusted well after one year,
, if the person you knocked unconscious doesn't wake up, I can introduce you to a more profitable job."
"Of course, if you work under me, you will naturally do whatever job I ask you to do. You can no longer be as free as you are now." Han Gang added as if he was worried.
"Pfft--" Zhang Ke couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing. This made Han Gang a little embarrassed and muttered: "Did you hear that? What are you laughing at?"
"Han Gang." Zhang Ke said calmly, "If you want to thank me, you should say it directly."
"Don't be so sentimental. I don't care if you owe me rent for so long. Although it's just a small amount of money, you should say thank you to me first." Han Gang was a little annoyed, but after listening carefully, it seemed that
Not very angry.
"Yes - I think one day, when I recall everything, I will thank you from the bottom of my heart." Zhang Ke said softly with some emotion.
"What did you say? Are you pretending to have amnesia?" Han Gang was of course shocked when he heard this answer.
"It's nothing. Now that the most urgent situation has been dealt with, we should solve the most immediate problem at hand."
Zhang Ke picked up the cipher box on the desk and said, "If we want to get out of here, we still have to crack this box first. It's so unusual for such an item to just appear in the drawer behind us."
"I didn't notice it just now. There seem to be four letters on this box." Han Gang also agreed with Zhang Ke, carefully observed the wooden box, and then said: "Look, in the middle of the wooden box lid, from left to right
There are four letters ESWN in a cartoon style.”
"ESWN, which cannot be spelled into a complete word, is the abbreviation of some special noun?" Han Gang pondered and thought, "It seems a bit familiar. Have I seen similar abbreviations in other places?"
"These four letters are completely separated from each other and are not closely connected. There are at least three spaces between them that are larger than the size of the original letters." Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows, "I think, it should be
Each letter is an abbreviation of a certain word, and their meanings should be in a parallel relationship."
"The parallel relationship...it's still four letters, could it be -"
Hearing this word, Han Gang suddenly felt a click in his head, as if someone had turned on a fluorescent lamp that illuminated the darkness.
