The Creators: From Night City

"There was also Darren, but he was shot dead when he resisted."

Laura remained silent. The death of a familiar person seemed to suddenly break the illusory moral shackles that had been built up over more than 20 years, making her truly realize the cruelty of reality.

Something is beginning to change.

Jiang Bing woke up the sleeping Russian at the cost of breaking one of his fingers.

However, facing this tough-looking Russian guy, Jiang Bing first set the tone for the entire interrogation.

“Don’t speak Russian!”

Chapter 41 Russian-Style Interrogation

Alexander Sergeevich woke from his slumber.

He felt as if his whole face had just been kicked by a donkey.

But just as he woke up from the dizziness caused by the concussion, he saw the lingering nightmare figure again.

And my own m1911.

He misses home a little.

Seeing that the Russian had woken up, Jiang Bing pulled out the map of Yamatai again, but before he could say anything, the man on the other side spat a mouthful of blood and phlegm on it.

Looking at the Russian tough guy's disdainful smile, Jiang Bing felt doubtful.

"You dare to offend a medical student? Do you know how brave you are?"

In order to take care of the emotions of the four people around him, the kind-hearted Mr. Jiang took the Russian guy into a building, closed the door and began to interrogate him.

High-end interrogations often only require the most ordinary methods.

Simply put, it means beating, beating hard.

Abandoning fancy punishments and exaggerated psychological tactics, only using the most primitive and wild beatings to make the opponent experience the true meaning of life.

Thanks to Jiang Bing's precise control of force and the valuable experience he accumulated as a prosthetic doctor in Night City, he finally got the answer he wanted 26 minutes into the interrogation.

Rubbing the slightly red skin on the tip of his fist, Jiang Bing walked out of the room. The four people outside were blocking the door with curious yet frightened expressions.

"You beat him to death? He screamed so miserably just now?" Laura asked with a frown.

Jiang Bing felt that the other party was questioning his professional knowledge in medicine and human anatomy, so he declared firmly: "Absolutely not. I guarantee that his life is not in danger."

Unconvinced, Laura leaned over the doorway and peeked inside. Her face turned pale instantly, and she said to Jiang Bing with an expression of surprise and indescribable confusion, "You might as well just beat him to death. He's swollen like this, and you still say he's not in danger of death?"

Jiang Bing said firmly, "In fact, apart from the kick at the beginning, he has absolutely no other fatal injuries. As long as he can get timely treatment, I guarantee that he will be alive and well again."

The three sailors also looked into the house curiously.

Then, two sailors began to cross themselves on the spot, and only Tom spat, saying that the X-cultist deserved it and should have thought about this end when he shot Darren.

Laura thought about it, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to just leave the fat Russian guy there, even though he really deserved it.

So Laura chose to end his life with a shot from a distance.

After a thorough search, everyone had their weapons in hand and returned the same way.

When I walked to the Buddha statue, I found Whitman hiding behind it.

Seeing that it was Laura and her companions, he crawled out from behind the Buddha statue in a panic.

"I was so engrossed in taking pictures just now that I couldn't see you anymore when I turned around. Also, I heard gunshots in the distance, so..."

Laura waved her hand to stop his quibbling, told him what had just happened, and discussed what to do next.

"We need to meet up with Ross, Dr. Whitman." Laura expressed her thoughts.

Whitman's attention was obviously focused on the shrine that Laura had just mentioned. This unlucky guy, facing the breakdown of his marriage, only wanted to turn the tables.

So, after a fierce argument, everyone split into two groups.

Three sailors stayed with Whitman at the shrine. After completing the filming, Whitman led the way back to the camp on the beach, where everyone first landed on the island on a life raft. The remaining surviving crew members and the remaining supplies were there.

Laura went to the designated location to meet Ross, and then returned to the camp by the sea after everyone was gathered.

After all, Ross was the only one at the scheduled gathering point, which made Laura, who had witnessed the dangers of Yamatai, very worried.

Jiang Bing considered that he would need Laura, Ross and other crew members of the Endurance to find Samantha in the future, so he naturally chose to help if he could and prepared to follow Laura to the meeting point to find Ross.

Fortunately, Ross was not far away. The two returned to the entrance of the shrine, climbed to the top of the mountain along the winding mountain road on the right, and walked along the ridge to the hillside of the neighboring mountain. They could already see the scheduled meeting point from afar.

However, before the two of them arrived at the gathering point, they heard the roars of wild beasts.

A brown bear was lying in front of a crevice in the mountain, roaring madly and scratching around frantically inside.

Laura immediately noticed the blood on the brown bear and the two pistols that fell beside the crevice.

That was Ross's sidearm.

Jiang Bing reached out to stop Laura from aiming the gun.

Although her Springfield rifle was powerful enough to deal with brown bears, her marksmanship made it difficult to accurately hit the vital points of an enraged brown bear.

Although the claim that brown bears can attack people under automatic firepower is nonsense, as long as they are not hit in the vital parts, they can still withstand a few 7.62mm bullets and struggle for a while before dying.

As for the even more outrageous claim that thick fur can resist bullets, I can only say that unless there is Night City's subcutaneous armor under the fur, it's all nonsense.

As Jiang Bing raised his gun and shot, a bullet accurately hit the shaking bear's head. The Japanese brown bear, which weighed 300 kilograms, fell to the ground smoothly without making a sound.

"Rose?"

After confirming that the brown bear was dead, Laura quickly walked forward and called out towards the crevice.

"Laura, why are you here?"

An old and weak voice came from the crevice in the mountain.

Jiang Bing grabbed the brown bear's hind paw and moved it away from the crevice. Laura instantly rushed to the crevice and pulled out an obviously elderly man.

At this time, his face was pale and his right leg was covered in blood, but fortunately, no blood vessels were injured.

However, the long period of blood loss still made his will a little weak, but he still forced himself to hold Laura's hand and leaned over to her ear.

"My bag is inside the hole. There are medicines in it."

Laura hurriedly crouched down and crawled into the narrow crevice, taking out the leather bag that Ross mentioned.

In Laura's heart, Ross is both a teacher and a father. His serious injury at this moment makes Laura look very panicked.

She took out the first aid supplies from her bag, but it seemed as if she had forgotten all her previous wilderness first aid knowledge and she had no idea where to start.

Fortunately, there is the best doctor in Night City nearby.

Jiang Bing took the gauze and bandage from Laura's hand, and took out tweezers and disinfectant from his bag. After confirming that no major blood vessels were injured, he smoothly completed a textbook-style wound debridement, disinfection and bandaging.

While Ross was still unconscious, Jiang Bing briefly assessed his wounds and then asked, "How much do you weigh?"

Anyone who saw this series of professional performances would think that Jiang Bing was an experienced surgeon.

Inspired by this, Ross also subconsciously answered: "About 150 pounds."

"kindness."

Jiang Bing responded indifferently and injected the corresponding amount of morphine into the old man's body.

Because hygiene and safety cannot be guaranteed in the wild, Jiang Bing chose intramuscular injection, which resulted in the time it took for morphine to take effect being extended to about 20 minutes.

And Ross lived up to everyone's expectations, successfully passing out from the double attack of weakness and pain.

After touching the injured man's wrist, Jiang Bing immediately understood the physical condition of the old man in front of him.

"The injury is not serious, at least not life-threatening."

Laura breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are your plans next? He needs a quiet environment to recuperate." Jiang Bing looked around. There were only trees and rocks on the empty mountainside, and there was not even a place with a shed.

After all, Laura is only a 21-year-old girl, and she is a little at a loss at this time.

Thinking that he had been out for too long and was in a hurry to find Matthias, Jiang Bing simply put forward his own idea.

"Come to my place and get some rest first. At least there's a place to lie down and shelter from the wind and rain."

…………

…………

As soon as Ross woke up, he found Laura resting on a low bed beside him.

Just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by the severe pain in his right leg and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Laura was awakened by the noise. She slept well last night and was just resting her eyes.

"Rose, are you awake?"

Ross looked around and saw that this was clearly an indoor environment, so he asked; "Where are we now?"

"Inside a fort built by the Japanese army during World War II is a friend's camp."

"The doctor from yesterday?"

Ross was obviously impressed by Jiang Bing's medical skills.

"Well, but he's not a doctor."

“That’s really rare.”

Ross, who has served in the Royal Marines Commando Brigade, highly praised Jiang Bing's first aid techniques.

"His technique looked very professional. And judging by the calmness he displayed while treating the wound yesterday, that level of skill wouldn't be achieved without hundreds of similar experiences."

"Who knows? He's full of secrets."

Ross laughed heartily. "Sounds like someone is very curious about him."

"By the way, did you take my bag?"

Laura took out Ross's briefcase from under the low bed where he was lying.

Ross opened the bag and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the radio transmitter inside was intact.

"Luckily this thing isn't broken."

"Its power shouldn't be able to travel very far, right?" Laura asked.

Ross stuffed the radio transmitter back into his purse and tossed it to Laura.

"When I got to the island, I found a radio tower in the southwest. I confirmed with Alex that if we could press it there, we could emit the strongest radio signal in all directions."

Patting his injured right leg, Ross sighed.

“Originally, I planned to go by myself, but Laura, as you can see, now this task can only be handed over to you.”

Laura held her purse, her expression full of insecurity.

She wasn't sure if she could complete the mission by crossing half an island filled with cultists and murderers.

"You have to believe in yourself, Laura. You are from the Crawford family and adventure runs in your blood."

Ross paused. He didn't want Laura, who was more like a daughter to him than a daughter, to take this risk, but he was the leader of the expedition after all and had to be responsible for everyone.

"Also, we must send out a distress signal. The longer we stay on this dangerous island, the greater the risk we face."

Jiang Bing suddenly walked into the room with a tray of food and drinking water.

Putting the plate aside, Jiang Bing gave his opinion on Ross's plan.

"You still need to recuperate for a while. I suggest you wait a few days before going out. Your wounds won't heal that quickly."

"Also, if you don't want to drag more people into the water, I suggest you don't send out any distress signals."

Facing the two men's puzzled expressions, Jiang Bingyou added: "After all, 'she' won't let you leave so easily."

Laura couldn't help but wonder, and asked aloud: "Wait, who is 'she'?"

"This is Yamatai, who else could 'she' be?"

Laura frowned.

"You mean, Himiko?!"

"That's impossible. She must have been dead for hundreds of years."

Jiang Bing shrugged. "The storm surrounding Yamatai will destroy any vehicle attempting to pass through. One of the historical figures of Himiko is her ability to control storms."
