Chapter 83

The world is full of unpredictable changes, and the lessons of growth often come at a great cost. In recent days, the arrogance that had built up due to Xiao Wu's powerful abilities was shattered by reality.

Yang Jie realized after this incident that while Xiao Wu might be invincible in the digital world, in the real world, she is not a god, and having Xiao Wu does not make him omnipotent.

Human hearts are unpredictable. Even with Xiao Wu's immense computational power, it could not foresee that Dai Xiaoqiang would intervene to stop Zhang Bo.

Yang Jie had long known that Zhang Bo was the murderer of Wang Guixi and had prepared for Zhang Bo's desperate actions. The detective assistance system had warned Yang Jie that according to its analysis, Zhang Bo might suddenly attack in public, taking him hostage.

Yang Jie had learned special combat techniques from Yang Xinhua and had also studied authentic martial arts in the martial arts association at Yanjing University. With the support of the detective assistance system's special combat skills, Yang Jie's physical condition was more than capable of handling two or three special forces soldiers.

Therefore, Yang Jie was not afraid of Zhang Bo's attack and even subconsciously hoped that Zhang Bo would make a move. This way, he could test how much his combat skills had improved with the help of the detective assistance system.

However, Yang Jie never expected that Dai Xiaoqiang would sense the killing intent Zhang Bo emitted and be prepared to stop Zhang Bo from harming him.

It could be said that a significant part of Dai Xiaoqiang's injury was due to Yang Jie's overconfidence. If he had used a gentler and safer method to expose and arrest Zhang Bo, it is likely that no one would have been injured.

"Dai Xiaoqiang stepped forward to save you from Zhang Bo. His injuries are severe, and the county's surgeons lack the experience to handle such special trauma. I learned emergency treatment in the military and can temporarily prevent his condition from worsening. I will go to the township health center with the ambulance. Dai Xiaoqiang needs a large amount of blood. Gather the O-type blood employees at the factory and encourage them to donate blood. Then take the factory's truck to the health center." Seeing the self-reproach on Yang Jie's face, Yang Xinhua did not try to comfort him but earnestly instructed him.

Yang Xinhua saw that the two surgeons from the township health center were at a loss when faced with Dai Xiaoqiang's abdominal injuries. He quickly stepped forward and directed the two surgeons to first remove the clothing around Dai Xiaoqiang's wound before applying a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.

Yang Jie, filled with self-reproach, had no trace of the joy of solving the case. The superiority and outstanding abilities brought by the detective assistance system could not offset the fact that Dai Xiaoqiang was injured while saving him.

Deeply chastened, Yang Jie ignored Yang Hua and Jiang Yi. After Yang Xinhua and Yang Li accompanied Dai Xiaoqiang to the ambulance, he hurriedly called out to gather the O-type blood employees from the distillery.

The distillery employees undergo annual health check-ups, so they all know their blood types.

Yang Jie shouted a few times, and immediately over a dozen people stepped forward, stating they were O-type blood and willing to donate blood at the health center.

The distillery has a total of 214 employees, and nearly half of them are O-type blood.

When the other workshop employees learned that Dai Xiaoqiang was severely injured while protecting Yang Jie, they all eagerly stepped forward to donate blood. The spirit of unity and mutual assistance in Yangjia Village was vividly demonstrated in the distillery.

Two delivery trucks from the distillery, carrying nearly fifty employees, sped towards the Wuhexiang Township Health Center, escorted by police cars.

Yang Jie wanted to go with the group, but he learned from Xiao Wu that Dai Xiaoqiang's injuries were very dangerous, and the trauma caused by a special dagger was beyond the capabilities of ordinary surgeons.

In peacetime, even the military hospitals in Changyang City, located in an inland province, might not be able to handle such injuries. Only experts in the provincial capital could treat the trauma caused by a special dagger and save Dai Xiaoqiang.

However, it would take nearly ten hours to reach Wuhexiang Township from the provincial capital, even with a dedicated vehicle, and this was assuming no unexpected delays. Therefore, saving Dai Xiaoqiang still depended on Yang Jie.

"Xiao Wu, are you sure your built-in medical assistance system can save Master?" After the employees left the distillery to donate blood, Yang Jie got into the Bluebird car parked in the parking lot and followed the convoy towards the township.

"Of course! However, activating the medical assistance system requires a lot of energy..."

"As long as it can save Master, I will do whatever it takes. I'll go buy peanut oil; just tell me how much I need to buy!" Yang Jie was entirely focused on saving Dai Xiaoqiang and did not care about the energy cost.

"Activating the medical assistance system requires 30% of the system's energy. The system consumes 0.3% of its energy per hour. For emergency energy replenishment, 500 grams of peanut oil is equivalent to the heat produced by 1500 grams of 56-degree liquor.

In other words, one kilogram of peanut oil can produce 0.3% of the system's energy. For 30%, you need to absorb over 100 kilograms of oil." Xiao Wu's words made Yang Jie's grip on the steering wheel slip.

Damn! This is too much!

Separating Xiao Wu into Xiao Li only required 4.5% of the energy.

Activating the detective assistance system required only 5% of the system's energy.

But activating the medical assistance system required 30% of the energy. Since obtaining Xiao Wu, Yang Jie had not yet consumed 30% of the system's energy.

Now, Yang Jie had to quickly replenish over 30% of the system's energy, which was an almost impossible task.

Driving out of the gravel road leading to Yangjia Village and onto the national highway, Yang Jie did not hesitate and headed straight for the township's grain and oil wholesale store.

Wuhexiang Township has convenient transportation and is located on the national highway. Nearby towns all transfer through Wuhexiang Township, making it the largest market in the surrounding seven or eight towns, with many grain and oil stores.

Yang Jie still had a few thousand yuan, so he was not worried about not having enough money to buy oil. He drove to the grain and oil wholesale store, took out the money, and started grabbing oil.

He bought peanut oil and sesame oil, and filled six 20-liter white plastic barrels. After piling the barrels in the trunk of the Bluebird car, he drove to an isolated mountain road.

After finding a deserted mountain road, Yang Jie parked the car, looked around, and saw no one nearby. He then opened the trunk and took out a barrel of oil.

Holding two one-liter plastic bottles given by the store owner, he inserted a funnel into the bottle opening, secured the bottles, and began pouring oil into them. After filling the bottles, he put down the oil barrel, picked up the plastic bottles, and without hesitation, poured the sesame oil into his mouth.

The rich and fragrant sesame oil was greasy and sticky, but the taste was not terrible. However, it felt nauseating when swallowing, and the pungent oil smell made Yang Jie feel dizzy.

Fortunately, the sesame oil was quickly absorbed by Xiao Wu, so it did not directly enter his stomach, making it somewhat tolerable for Yang Jie, who had to pinch his nose to swallow the oil.

After the two one-liter bottles of sesame oil were absorbed by the system, the value on the crystal energy bar in front of Yang Jie's eyes immediately increased by 1.2%. It seemed that drinking oil to replenish the system's energy was much faster than drinking alcohol.

However, drinking oil is not easy on the mouth and is only suitable for emergencies. Normally, drinking alcohol is enough to meet the system's daily needs.

Time waits for no one. Every second of delay increases the danger to Dai Xiaoqiang's life.

Yang Jie was completely determined, continuously pouring sesame oil and peanut oil into his mouth, and the value on the crystal energy bar in front of his eyes quickly increased.

As he threw the empty oil barrels aside one by one, the system's energy value broke through 10%, 20%, and rapidly approached the 30% mark.

Drinking oil is a test of willpower. Drinking a couple of pounds of oil might be manageable, but drinking over a hundred pounds in a short time, even if the oil is not absorbed by the body and does not cause physical damage, the psychological disgust and nausea are still hard to bear.

Yang Jie relied on his superhuman willpower and determination to drink all 120 pounds of oil he had bought. After drinking all the oil, he collapsed like a deflated balloon, sitting on the yellow mud ground.

He panted heavily, trying to breathe in some fresh air, but the smell of oil filled his nose. Finally, unable to bear it, he rolled over and began vomiting.

"System alert: Do you want to activate the medical assistance system?" While vomiting, Yang Jie heard the familiar mechanical voice in his mind and shouted in his mind, "Activate!"
