Chapter 110 Scratch Abnormality
A flurry of panic erupted around them. Xia Zhi's heart clenched as she felt the patient under her care suddenly recoil, and then the blood that had stopped flowing gushed out again. Within a few breaths, the man was completely lifeless.

Before Su Yating could wipe the blood off her face, she heard a little girl's scream from beside her.

"dad!"

Xia Zhi looked down at the lifeless man, then pulled the crying girl beside her into her arms, silently patting her back. She felt a pang of sadness herself; these people were simply too hateful.

Lu Beiting and Huo Chen also quickly led their men to check the situation, while Zhang Yi and the rest of the men were responsible for guarding the area.

Xia Zhi kept adjusting her breathing. These people were really too arrogant; they probably hadn't gone far yet.

She calmed herself down, got up and walked among the dozens of people, her eyes scanning each one. After circling around several times, she subtly withdrew her gaze.

"Su Yating, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take a few people with you to go and take a look."

Upon hearing her voice, Su Yating stood up somewhat dazedly, experiencing some tinnitus, but it wasn't a major problem.

Xia Zhi squatted down, opened her first-aid kit, put some things into it, and then whispered, "Go and ask Lu Beiting to bring a local fellow villager. I suspect those people are still around us."

Su Yating stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered. "Okay, be careful."

Su Yating slung her medical kit over her shoulder, looked at the medical staff she had brought, then left a few behind and took the rest with her, heading towards the hospital.

Once out of sight, Su Yating immediately turned around and led everyone towards the open space, fearing that if they were even a second late, the people behind them would be in danger.

Upon reaching the open space, she immediately spotted Lu Beiting. She ran over and grabbed him, saying, "Lu Beiting, Xia Zhi said those people might be among the wounded. She wants you to take a fellow villager over to test the waters."

Su Yating looked around and saw no injured people in the open space. As expected, most of them were unharmed. Perhaps the situation at the hospital was more dangerous, but that was still unknown.

Lu Beiting instructed his men to find more people, then looked at Su Yating and the new medical staff behind her, saying, "Su Yating, you and your men stay here and stand by. Fan Kun, you and your men stay here and guard the area. The rest of you, come back with me."

Su Yating bit her lower lip and pulled him back, "If there's really danger, we..." They could lend a hand too.

Lu Beiting lowered his eyes, his voice serious, "If there is any real danger, then we should at least minimize casualties."

Looking at the group of trembling newcomers behind her, Su Yating finally followed Fan Kun and hid.

When Lu Beiting returned, he saw Xia Zhi holding a girl not far away. Then an old man came out from behind him and said a few words in a thick local dialect.

Xia Zhi took the opportunity to observe, and after going around, she noticed a few people in the crowd who were looking at each other. Xia Zhi's eyes fell on the similar clothes they were wearing, and she instantly understood.

Seeing that the people around them were moving, the group followed suit.

Lu Beiting glanced at Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi nodded.

Xia Zhi handed the girl in her arms to her comrade-in-arms next to her, and then walked over to one of the injured men.

"Auntie, your injury is quite serious. Let me help you. Watch your step."

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she helped the woman straighten her clothes. The woman shrank back a little, and Xia Zhi smiled and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we'll be safe soon."

Lu Beiting squinted at her every move, then noticed the clothes of the group. He turned to Zhang Yi and spoke to him. Zhang Yi nodded and then led his men to escort them.

"Go to the hospital and find Huo Chen. Tell him to be careful..."

In the crowd, Li Baozhu squinted at the scene and exchanged a glance with the person next to her.

I have a feeling they've already been exposed.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts! I can't walk anymore, I need to go to the bathroom!" Xia Zhi hurried over and looked at the man with concern. "Is it a stomachache? Sometimes being startled can make you feel unwell. How about I give you a glucose injection to relieve it?"

Xia Zhi mumbled something incoherently, then took out an anesthetic from the first-aid kit and injected it.

Before the others, who were pretending to be uncomfortable, could react, they saw Xia Zhi's gaze fall upon them. "Aren't you feeling unwell too? Why don't you get an injection as well? This stuff won't do any harm."

He grabbed the arms of the group and slapped them so fast that they were stunned. Before they could even think of what to say, the drug had already been injected.

Li Baozhu took a step back as Xia Zhi drew closer, and quickly waved her hand, "I'm fine, I don't need a shot."

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, but suddenly stumbled and fell towards Li Baozhu.

Li Baozhu instinctively tried to push Xia Zhi away, but then realized something and reached out to support her, asking, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, thank you." Xia Zhi helped her up, and in the instant she left, she could clearly see the powder on the woman's face.

It must have been a long time since it was made; it looks a bit rough, much like the cakey powder they used back then.

Li Baozhu's gaze fell on Xia Zhi's retreating figure. She frowned, then glanced at her accomplices before running into the mountains without a second thought.

They must have been exposed.

After noticing the commotion behind her, Xia Zhi turned around and saw the woman running away.

The others also noticed something was wrong, and before they could react, their bodies felt weak.

"Damn, this isn't glucose at all, it's anesthesia!"

Zhang Yi and his men swiftly apprehended the group, while Lu Beiting and his men also rushed off in the direction where Li Baozhu had disappeared.

Xia Zhi checked it again, and then asked Zhang Yi to bring people forward to verify the information.

Meanwhile, thanks to the information Lu Beiting had sent, Huo Chen quickly apprehended the criminals hiding in the hospital.

When they arrived at the assembly point, they saw several people lying limp on the ground. Huo Chen's men threw over those they had captured as well.

After a while, Lu Beiting returned. Xia Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Didn't catch him?"

Lu Beiting shook his head with a stern face, "He jumped off a cliff."

Li Baozhu would rather jump off a cliff than fall into their hands. Why can't such a strong-willed woman do something good?

Lu Beiting took out a handkerchief and wiped her face. "I've already sent people to search the area at the foot of the mountain."

Xia Zhi nodded, "Yes, I'm fine, you guys go ahead and do your work."

Xia Zhi squatted down and looked at the captured people, "By the way, how's the situation at the hospital?"

"Madam Battalion Commander, everything is fine at the hospital now, and the patient can be transferred there," Huo Chen's soldier said honestly.

Xia Zhi nodded, "Yes, the open space should be fine now. Just drop these people over there."

"Yes!"

The soldier didn't dare say anything, and led his men to carry him away.

The few people who were awake did not expect the woman to be so vigilant, and they immediately started shouting.
