Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2696 Save people!

Although pain is unbearable, it is a symbol of life.

And if a person doesn't even feel pain, it means that this person is about to leave this world.

The entire resident hospital was filled with sadness and depression.

However, at this moment, Duanwu brought Huofeng and Grandma Zuma to the resident hospital, bringing a touch of unusual atmosphere to this dull hospital.

People cast hopeful glances at them, as if these two visitors from afar could bring a miracle.

When Han Ling saw the Fire Phoenix, a light flashed in her eyes, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.

Although she didn't know whether Huo Feng knew medical skills, her experience told her that the captain would never bring irrelevant people here at this time.

Especially the old lady beside Huo Feng, she exuded a noble aura, as if everything could be solved with her arrival.

Duanwu and Han Ling are both looking forward to a miracle happening.

Grandma Zuma did not delay. She slowly walked into the ward and carefully examined the symptoms of each poisoned person with her eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

She placed her wrinkled hands gently on the patient's wrists, tapping them with her fingertips, as if she was probing the patient's pulse.

Afterwards, Grandma Zuma slowly lifted up the patients' sleeves and coats and carefully examined their skin, which was mottled due to corrosion from the poisonous gas.

Her eyes gradually became solemn and her brows were furrowed, giving people a feeling of uneasiness.

The atmosphere in the ward became extremely solemn because of Grandma Zuma's actions, but a glimmer of hope inexplicably rose in everyone's heart.

They knew that this seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary old lady might really be the light in their hearts, leading them out of the haze of despair.

Huo Feng couldn't help but ask: "Grandma Zuma, how is it?"

Grandma Zuma sighed and shook her head, "I'm going to ask for the help of Willow God. Please don't disturb me."

Having said that, after leaving the hospital, Grandma Zuma went straight into the woods behind the base alone.

Duanwu and Han Ling were puzzled and looked at Huo Feng.

Huo Feng explained: "Liu Shen is us."

At this point, Huo Feng hesitated a little, but still said: "The Willow God is one of the permanent gods of our Shamanism, so when there are some things, Grandma Zuma will ask the Willow God for help and communicate with him."

"Shamanism!"

At this moment, Duanwu suddenly realized, and he said, why do those totems in Phoenix City look so familiar, it turns out to be Shamanism.

Although Duanwu was still a little worried at this time, there might be some progress after all.

They waited quietly, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes,.

There was no news from Grandma Zuma yet. However, at this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Centipedes, lots of centipedes."

Duanwu scolded: "Why are you yelling? Have you never seen a centipede?"

But unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard a rustling sound, and then he saw a centipede as thick as a thumb crawling out from the grass, the woods, and the roof.

The centipedes were so densely packed that they seemed endless, like the tide in the night.

Their bodies gleamed dimly in the moonlight. Thousands of centipedes intertwined into a giant black web, slowly spreading towards the local hospital.

Duanwu's face changed instantly. Although he didn't know whether these centipedes were poisonous or not, he didn't want them to get close to the local hospital.

He instinctively wanted to order the soldiers to clear out the centipedes. But at this moment, the long-awaited Grandma Zuma slowly walked out from the darkness. Her steps were a little staggering, and the light in her eyes seemed to be dimmed.

She forced a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, these are the helpers I invited back."

As Grandma Zuma finished her words, those originally creepy centipedes actually began to move in an orderly manner. They no longer crawled blindly, but seemed to follow some invisible guidance and crawled towards the patients in the local hospital.

At this time, Grandma Zuma said again: "Everyone who is not involved should retreat. These centipedes will detoxify the poisoned people. Everyone who is not involved should retreat."

Some nurses and patients' families looked at Duanwu and Han Ling.

But Duanwu and Han Ling had no other choice.

Finally, Duanwu decided to take a gamble and said, "Everyone retreat, I believe in Grandma Zuma."

Nurses, soldiers, and the patients' families all retreated.

At this moment, some centipedes had already crawled onto the bodies of the poisoned people.

And the more seriously poisoned a person is, the more viruses will crawl onto his body.

The spider opened its mouth and bit down hard.

Those who were unconscious only groaned, but those who were not unconscious screamed, and some even wanted to smack the centipedes to death with their hands.

But at this moment, Grandma Zuma's scolding came: "If you don't want to die, just bear with it!"

Grandma Zuma's loud shout frightened all the patients who were ready to disperse or even kill the centipedes.

They silently endured the pain of the poisonous insect bites.

One minute later, one of the centipedes suddenly stiffened and fell from a poisoned patient.

The centipede stopped moving and died on the spot.

When Duanwu saw this scene, he was a little confused, because how could a person die if bitten by a centipede?

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the second, third, fourth, fifth, and more centipedes began to die.

Duanwu looked at Grandma Zuma, but she looked normal and not surprised at all. It was obvious that she had known this would happen.

After the last centipede died, Grandma Zuma sighed and said, "It's solved. The rest just need to rest."

"Qi Dabing, on behalf of all the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, thanks Grandma Zuma!"

Duanwu saluted Grandma Zuma, and at the same time, all the anti-Japanese fighters, including medical staff, saluted Grandma Zuma.

Although the patients had not recovered yet, they trusted this frail old man for unknown reasons.

Looking at Duanwu, he nodded with a smile, and then said to Huofeng, "Help me get in the car."

Huo Feng hurried to support Grandma Zuma's hand, but was suddenly shocked because Grandma Zuna's left sleeve was covered in blood.

Huo Feng was shocked and was about to speak when she was stopped by Grandma Zuma.

It was not until Grandma Zuma got into the sedan chair and the group slowly left that Huo Feng asked, "Grandma, what happened to you?"

Grandma Zuma smiled bitterly and said, "Saving people is not that easy. They were all people who should have died. If you want to bring them back to life, you naturally have to pay a price. I saved so many people, and I only lost one hand. This is the best result!"

As she spoke, Grandma Zuma slightly raised her left hand. The old palm had long disappeared, and was tightly bound by a brown leather belt!
