Chapter 69, Day 3 Settlement
Hopeless.
In this environment of scarce medical resources, injuries of this severity are essentially a death sentence.
Unless there is a rare item that instantly restores health, or an awakened being with healing skills.
But he didn't.
Even if it existed, it wouldn't be used on these people.
"Let go."
Jiang Ming's voice was very calm, so calm that you couldn't detect a trace of emotion.
The girl was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a response.
Instead of letting go, she gripped even tighter, her nails almost digging into the fabric.
"You have so many supplies...you have so much meat..."
"You're so strong... even those monsters are afraid of you..."
"You must have a way, right? Please... give us some of the medicine..."
Moral blackmail.
The weapon most commonly used by the weak against the strong.
Jiang Ming bent down.
A glimmer of hope flashed in the girl's eyes.
But the light went out the next second.
Jiang Ming reached out and pried her fingers apart one by one.
The actions weren't violent, but their determination was so resolute it instilled despair.
"My flesh was earned with my life."
"My medicine is for those who need it."
Jiang Ming straightened up and looked down at them.
"In this world, compassion is the cheapest and most deadly thing."
"I cannot heal your wounds."
"As for whether we can survive, that's up to fate."
After saying that, he stepped over the girl and walked upstairs without looking back.
How could you be so cold-blooded!
A desperate scream came from behind, "We're all classmates! You just stood by and watched me die! You'll get what's coming to you!"
curse.
abuse.
In this crumbling world, this is the only voice the weak can utter.
Wang Yang and Li Bin exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and quickly followed Jiang Ming.
They knew Jiang Ming was right.
Medicine is limited.
If we save these three today, tomorrow there will be thirty or three hundred seriously injured people blocking the door.
In the end, they will be the ones who die.
Back to dormitory 202.
Xu Shishi and Su Xiaoxiao were guarding the door when they heard footsteps and immediately opened it.
Seeing that Jiang Ming was safe and sound, the two men visibly relaxed.
"That cry outside... is that the eagle?"
Xu Shishi handed over a wet towel.
Jiang Ming took the towel and wiped the dust and blood off his face.
"Yeah, we just crossed paths."
He threw the towel into the basin, and the water instantly turned reddish-gray.
"It's stronger than I imagined."
Jiang Ming walked to the bedside, picked up the heavy [Silver Knight's Full Armor], and began to put it on piece by piece.
The lesson we just learned was profound enough.
In this godforsaken place, we must never disarm.
Even when sleeping, one eye has to be open.
"Don't sleep too soundly."
Jiang Ming fastened the buckle on his breastplate with a crisp click.
"That eagle could come back at any time, and the wolf pack is probably still lurking downstairs."
"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
After saying that, he leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes to rest.
Wang Yang and Li Bin each found a corner to sit down, holding their weapons, and remained silent.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Only the wall clock emitted a monotonous ticking sound.
Time passed by, second by second.
The howling of wolves outside the building gradually subsided, replaced by an even more chilling silence.
When the hour and minute hands overlap again and point to the number "12".
Jiang Ming suddenly opened his eyes.
The familiar golden light exploded on his retina right on time.

Congratulations! You've achieved an S-level rating for the second consecutive time!
[S-Tier Reward: 5 chances to win a prize in the Lucky Roulette!]
Looking at the dazzling "S", Jiang Ming's tightly clenched lips finally curled into a slight smile.
Cold-blooded?
cruel?
In this cannibalistic world, only those who survive have the right to define right and wrong.
This S-level rating is the best affirmation of all the choices he made today.
"bring it on."
Jiang Ming rubbed his hands together, his consciousness sinking into the huge virtual roulette wheel.
"Let me see what good stuff I can pull out today."
"Hopefully we can get something that can shoot that big bird down."
The virtual roulette wheel spins rapidly on the retina, and colorful bands of light intertwine to create a dizzying afterimage.
Jiang Ming made no unnecessary prayer gestures; his will was like a knife, swiftly and decisively cutting off the roulette wheel's power.
"stop."
The pointer, propelled by inertia, swept across a large white area, its speed suddenly decreasing before finally slowly crossing the edge of the green square.
First shot.
Congratulations on obtaining: Constitution Enhancement Potion (Intermediate) x1
[Description: Permanently increases Constitution by 5 points after consumption and slightly improves wound healing speed.]
Jiang Ming took out a test tube containing a pale golden liquid, flicked the cork off with his thumb, and tilted his head back to drink it.
A warm current burst forth from my stomach, rushing through my blood vessels to my limbs and bones.
The bones, which were originally sore from withstanding the giant eagle's impact, emitted a series of fine popping sounds, and the muscle fibers became tighter and more resilient under the nourishment of the medicine.
The previous fatigue was completely gone.
"continue."
The roulette wheel spun again.
The second shot was white, a 100ml bottle of stamina potion.
The third item, green, is a [Fine Whetstone] that temporarily increases weapon sharpness.
still alright.
Jiang Ming remained expressionless, and even his heart rate did not fluctuate at all.
This kind of probability game is all about mindset and the number of attempts.
The fourth time, the pointer spun much faster than before, with an air of breaking free from some kind of constraint.
It traversed vast white scrap areas, ignored the green premium areas, and didn't even linger in the blue rare areas.
A noble yet eerie purple light exploded in Jiang Ming's vision.
