Chapter 39

【Nanotechnology Treatment Needle: Mainly used for non-fatal external injuries, it can enhance tissue repair capabilities in a short time to accelerate wound healing.】

This thing was obtained by Chu Guang from a blind box.

Previously, seeing how strong this person's recovery ability was, Chu Guang had originally planned to skip this injection. However, when he noticed that her wound had already started to become inflamed and abscessed, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided against saving costs.

If the wound were to worsen, it might even lead to amputation.

The shelter currently has no doctors capable of performing surgery, not to mention anesthesia or alcohol for disinfection, let alone a sterile environment for major surgeries.

Thinking about this, Chu Guang silently made up his mind.

Anesthesia aside, at least he had to get Brother Mosquito to produce some alcohol!

Seeing Chu Guang approaching step by step, Xia Yan instinctively wanted to back away, but with only one leg and half a life left, she was completely limp in the chair, with nowhere to retreat.

"You, you don't come any closer."

Chu Guang didn't bother to explain and injected her right leg.

"Ah—"

Huh?

It doesn't hurt?

Xia Yan stopped her scream halfway, looking bewildered at the man in front of her as he pulled out the needle from her leg.

What happened?

Why can't I feel anything...

Just as Xia Yan was about to ask this question softly, her consciousness suddenly became hazy.

"You... What did you do to me?"

"I saved your life, no need to thank me."

If you want to thank me, just work hard.

However, Chu Guang didn't expect the natives of this world to be as diligent as the players from that world.

Xia Yan still wanted to say something, but her tongue wouldn't move, and her consciousness quickly fell into darkness, her chaotic breathing gradually becoming even.

"Didn't expect this thing to have a sedative effect."

"Good thing I didn't use it in battle..."

Observing her reaction quietly, Chu Guang took a pen from the drawer and silently recorded her clinical response in a small notebook.

The Nanotechnology Treatment Needle has side effects such as drowsiness, anesthesia, and confusion, making it unsuitable for use in combat.

After finishing this, Chu Guang carried her to the next room, found a room where none of the four incubation pods were activated, and placed her on the ground.

The effects of the Nanotechnology Treatment Needle had already begun to show.

The red, swollen, and abscessed wound was slowly reducing in size and pus, and her pale cheeks were gradually regaining some color.

Although it was unlikely that the lost leg would grow back, at least amputation was no longer necessary.

The temperature and air quality in the shelter were basically stable within the most suitable range for human habitation. Although the floor was a bit cold, it was still much better than outside.

The rest was just a matter of resting.

This person's constitution was quite good, and Chu Guang felt she should be able to hold on.

He left a piece of chocolate and a bottle of pure water produced by the outpost on the ground, then used the administrator's authority to lock the door to prevent her from wandering around the shelter when she woke up.

Next, Chu Guang returned to the residents' hall and eagerly gave himself a physical examination.

[

ID: Chu Guang

Gene Sequence: Administrator

Level: LV.5 → LV.7

—Basic Attributes—

Strength: 9 → 10

Agility: 6

Constitution: 7 → 8

Perception: 7

Intelligence: 6

]

"Two levels up?"

Although he had felt he was close to a breakthrough, he didn't expect this crisis to take him directly from LV5 to LV7.

Chu Guang's face was filled with surprise and joy.

However, the changes in attributes due to the increased development progress of the "Administrator" gene sequence seemed to have no discernible pattern.

Other players had main attributes, but he didn't, and the points seemed to be randomly distributed.

However, an increase of 1 point in strength and 1 point in constitution wasn't bad.

These two attributes were the most useful and cost-effective in the early stages.

Now, with 10 points in strength, Chu Guang's strength was almost twice that of an average adult male, and this was reflected in the physical examination report in terms of endurance and explosive power.

The increase in constitution meant he would have a stronger physique and greater resistance to negative states.

Of course, what Chu Guang was most concerned about was the talent bar below the attribute panel.

Compared to the last physical examination, this time the talent bar had an additional line—

[Talent: Wild Instinct (In extreme conditions, can awaken wild instinct, during which all attributes increase by 10~15%, and fatigue accumulation rate increases by 20~30%.)]

"Wild Instinct is okay..."

Chu Guang always felt the term sounded a bit strange.

However, he could understand it.

After all, the first-generation administrator who designed this attribute panel and conversion formula was a guy with a twisted sense of humor.

Referring to the previous physical examination data, Chu Guang made a rough guess.

In simple terms, the significance of this talent should be to increase the efficiency of cellular work and metabolism or stimulate the secretion of adrenaline for a certain period of time.

The effect was somewhat similar to a stimulant.

However, it was only similar.

The physiological and chemical reactions involved would be quite complex.

Moreover, the panel data from the physical examination was just a reference.

For example, the devourer he encountered today would undoubtedly crush him, a human, in terms of panel data.

But even so, it wouldn't be easy for the devourer to take him down.

Inputting the physical examination data into the computer for archiving, Chu Guang continued to look at the backpack he had thrown on the ground and picked it up.

Inside were the equipment that Ye Shi had scavenged from the bodies of the three mercenaries.

The moment he unzipped it, a delighted expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Four pistols, two submachine guns without stocks, a pump-action shotgun, and a broken assault rifle in two pieces.

Regardless of whether the assault rifle could be repaired, the harvest from this outing could be described as bountiful!

"Wealthy!"

It was a big catch!

In addition to the firearms, there were probably a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition, some in magazines and some loose, filling the half-person-tall backpack.

It was clear that Ye Shi had thoroughly looted the bodies, leaving nothing behind, even putting empty magazines into the backpack.

However, the quality of the ammunition was average, mostly made of steel, with only a few loose rounds having steel cores or lead cores with copper jackets.

Chu Guang also noticed that a few bullets had red paint on their tips, and the materials seemed unusual, likely special rounds.

These mercenaries, though not wealthy, were well-armed.

"It seems the strength of this Boulder City cannot be underestimated..." Weighing the red-tipped bullet, Chu Guang gently tossed it back into the backpack.

A region's overall strength is usually tied to its productivity.

For example, the raiders in the suburbs used homemade iron pipe rifles or scavenged weapons, and some even used cold weapons.

To arm even the "scattered troops" to this extent, the industrial capability of this Boulder City was probably even more astonishing than the rumors he had heard.

Chu Guang made up his mind.

After this winter, he had to go there and see for himself!

It would be best to organize a trade caravan to go together.

The outpost would continue to grow, and trading with other survivor strongholds was inevitable.

He couldn't always rely on unscrupulous merchants to bring goods to the doorstep; to avoid being overcharged, he would have to make the trip himself.
