In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

Bai Rui also wanted to walk over, but as soon as she took a step, she felt a sudden pain in her body, which made her grimace in pain.

The adrenaline secreted during the battle slowly faded away after he got a breath, and the fatigue and pain of the body hit him all at once, making Bai Rui dizzy and almost unable to stand.

"Fuck." Bai Rui struggled and screamed, her legs went limp and she had to use her hands to support herself and turn around to sit on the steps.

Bai Rui sat with his hands behind his back, his shoulders and legs trembling constantly from the cold and pain, and he curled up into a small ball in the dark.

What the hell is going on with this horse?

Bai Rui closed his eyes and endured the pain while asking himself.

How did the situation become so bad?

Jack survived, but V was seriously injured.

grass.

What about the oath I made in the first place? It’s still an unfinished business.

Bai Rui blamed himself painfully, holding his chest and feeling uncomfortable as he couldn't breathe.

grass.

It's all my own incompetence.

If only I were stronger and smarter.

Or he could just find a way to build a hundred or eighty mechas and flatten Arasaka Tower in one go, and then he would be able to get that broken chip easily.

Bai Rui supported herself on the ground with her hands, breathing heavily. The swelling and pain from the wounds all over her body caused her to feel severe pain every time she moved.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been like this.

Let V get hurt like this.

Bai Rui felt even more painful when she thought of V's pale face. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and twitched in pain.

I clearly said I would protect V, but I let her become like this.

Who am I? I am just a waste!

Bai Rui closed his eyes in pain, his mind falling into endless suffering.

"Bai Rui, are you okay..."

Just as Bai Rui was still cursing herself for being so useless, Misty's voice suddenly came, startling her so much that she sat up straight.

"Fuck..." Bai Rui grimaced in pain and his hands were shaking after just moving a little.

"It will be warmer this way." It was Misty. She put a thick coat on Bai Rui. The woolen coat was a little big for Bai Rui, so it covered her completely, leaving only her small head exposed.

Although it still hurt, it was at least warm. Bai Rui let out a trembling breath and felt a little relaxed.

"Drink some water, Bai Rui." After Misty put clothes on Bai Rui, she handed him a cup of slightly steaming warm water.

"Thank you...Misty." Bai Rui seemed a little embarrassed by Misty's kindness. He held the cup in both hands and drank it in small sips.

She even remembered that she liked to drink hot water.

Bai Rui was very grateful.

Misty, who wears dark eyeshadow and a street punk outfit, is actually a gentle and delicate person.

This can be proven in the game by her care for V who was shot in the head, and her words when V faced the final decision.

But even though he knew it, Bai Rui was still very grateful that he was taken care of so carefully. In this impetuous and violent world where everything seemed to be rushing to the finish line, it was an honor to have a friend like Misty.

"Bai Rui, you... are very scared and full of anxiety now..." Misty did not leave, but sat next to Bai Rui with her legs hugged.

Although she didn't know why Misty could see her thoughts, Bai Rui was not in the mood to explore this. Her mind was full of V's injured appearance and all kinds of possible, impossible, and horrific things that were twisted into pieces.

"Bai Rui, wipe your tears first." Misty looked at Bai Rui pitifully and handed him a wet wipe.

what?

Only then did Bai Rui hear clearly what Misty said. She touched her face belatedly and felt a wet feeling.

She didn't know when she started crying, and her face was covered with tears, but she didn't even realize it.

Bai Rui took the wet wipes and wiped her tears randomly. She didn't want to look so cowardly.

But the opposite happened. The more she wiped her eyes, the more tears came out, all over her face. In the end, the hot tears wet the palms and backs of her hands.

After all the efforts in vain, Bai Rui had no choice but to give up.

"Misty... I'm so incompetent." Putting down the wet wipes, Bai Rui shook his head in pain, his tone extremely depressed. "Why am I so incompetent..."

Misty didn't say anything, but just looked at Bai Rui with pity, reached out and stroked Bai Rui's back, and listened to Bai Rui's words.

"I swore not to let V get hurt..." Bai Rui knew that he cried even harder after that. He could hardly stop sobbing, and his tears dripped onto the ground.

"But...but she has been hurt..." Bai Rui said hurriedly, his voice trembling.

She was completely broken by Adam's heavy hammer, which made her realize how ridiculous her own strength was. She couldn't even protect the person she loved.

"It's okay, Bai Rui..." Misty comforted Bai Rui after listening to what he said. "You are very brave, braver than any of us."

"The so-called courage is not the absence of fear, but the courage to face the worries and fears in our hearts. This is called courage, just like you, Bai Rui..."

Although Bai Rui didn't hear clearly what Misty said, he gradually calmed down after being soothed by Misty's voice as gentle as the moon.

"Jack, Bai Rui, come here!"

At this time, Lao Wei opened the door of the clinic and called the two in.

"Thank you, Misty!" Bai Rui sincerely thanked Misty, then turned his head to the direction of Lao Wei, and stood up while holding back the pain. "I'll be right there!"

"I've been waiting so long, it's finally healed!"

Jack also came out at this time.

"Hehehe..." Looking at Bai Rui, who immediately perked up after hearing V's news, Misty shook her head in amusement.

It seems that the panacea for curing Bai Rui is something starting with V.

Chapter 67: Night City is not covered, if you don’t like it, just run it!!!

"Hi, Bai Rui." On the operating chair, V's complexion still did not look good, but at least it had regained some of its redness.

When she saw Bai Rui rushing towards her, the corners of her mouth curved up and she smiled weakly.

"V!" Bai Rui was even more excited when he saw V waking up, and wanted to rush in from the door.

"Hey, hey, the patient has just recovered." Before Bai Rui took two steps, Victor reached out and stopped the excited Bai Rui.

"Okay, calm down now." Seeing Bai Rui's excitement, Victor shook his head in amusement, then let go of his hand and patted Bai Rui's shoulder, "Okay, go over."

After being stopped by Victor, Bai Rui calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and walked to V.

"Hi, V, how are you?" Bai Rui sat sideways next to the operating chair, his eyes looking at V's hand and then he held V's slender hand.

"Well...it's okay." V ​​smiled embarrassedly, his eyes wandering away.

Apparently, she still felt that her behavior of fainting after being injured was a bit... well, too embarrassing.

"I just used some anesthesia. I'm fine now... for a while." V looked at the tightly wrapped bandages on his abdomen and the support that protected his spine, and smiled bitterly. "I might cry a little bit, Bai Rui, you can't record it."

"Hi, V." At this time, Jack also walked up, scratching his head, looking very embarrassed.

"Let's skip the corny stuff. Anyway, I'm very grateful, chica." Jack said seriously. "You better get better soon. Don't forget, I still owe you two million."

Jack smiled casually. "If you lie down, I will deny my responsibility and run away."

"Haha, Jack, you can't deny the debt, just wait to work for me illegally for the rest of your life!" V chuckled, his eyes full of joking. "Also, your driving skills are terrible, I almost vomited when I was unconscious just now."

"Hey, isn't that an emergency?"

"Hey, Bai Rui, why don't you say anything?" V saw that Bai Rui was just looking at her quietly, and immediately smiled and asked.

Bai Rui looked at V who was talking and laughing enthusiastically, as if nothing had happened, just like the usual optimistic and cheerful V.

Bai Rui wanted to agree with V, as if nothing had happened. She smiled, but the smile she could only force out was uglier than crying.

Do not make jokes!

How can he be okay with such serious injuries!

Thinking of this, Bai Rui felt even more guilty and self-blaming.

"V... stop being so stubborn." At this time, Victor, holding a PDA, walked over, shook his head, and bluntly exposed V's lie.

"At least five shrapnel were shot into her waist, three of which came out, and two were stuck in the bone gaps of her spine. I took them out for her, but the subsequent recovery... well, the most optimistic estimate is that it will take more than a year."

Lao Wei said some very bad news in a low voice, and the three of them fell silent.

"A year? So long..." Jack was a little bit unbelievable and speechless.

"V?" Bai Rui looked at V, who was smiling weakly, and then looked at Victor. "Old Victor, what's the conservative estimate? Can V...recover?"

When Lao Wei heard Bai Rui's question, he just shook his head silently.

"It's not that simple. V's internal organs aren't seriously damaged. What's at stake is the spine. Two shrapnel are stuck in the spine. It's not an easy place to recover."

"Now back to your question, a conservative estimate..." Victor pushed his glasses. "Three years, or five years, or maybe... it will never get better. The final result depends on V's own recovery ability."

Shaking his head, Victor still said the most unacceptable result.

"What?" After hearing what Victor said, Bai Rui's face turned dejected, and he immediately felt a bitter feeling in his heart.

My mind was a mess and I couldn't make any sense of anything.

"But maybe there is another way." Victor glanced at V who was looking at Bai Rui with pity on the operating chair, and said, "Those big companies... Arasaka, military technology, biotechnology... They have the most advanced biotechnology, they may have a way to solve V's problem."

Victor's words gave Bai Rui hope.

Yes, although those companies don’t have personnel, they must have this technology. As long as they have it, Bai Rui can get it and V can be saved.

"Yes, V. For my buddy's sake, I will find a way to heal you even if I have to step on a landmine again." Jack nodded to V with a firm look in his eyes.

"I just provided a direction, at least nothing good." Victor sighed deeply and paced on the spot.

"By the way, Bai Rui, this is mupirocin healing agent." Victor took out two bottles of medicine from the shelf nearby and handed them to Bai Rui.

"This can disinfect and kill bacteria, prevent wound infection, and speed up healing. You spray V's wound once every two days."

Victor spoke a little hurriedly, and after reminding Bai Rui of some precautions, he said solemnly.

"You have to leave quickly!"

"I guess half the city is looking for you now. If you stay in the city, you will be in danger."

"Old Wei, you know everything?" Jack asked puzzledly.

"Haha, I know. When the news reported that the Blue Bi Building was blocked, I knew that you were probably going to do something bad. You set out excitedly in the morning, looking like you were going to do something big. Aren't you the ones who did it?"

Hearing what Victor said, the three of them lowered their heads in shame.

"You have to act quickly, Bai Rui. The safe house you asked me to arrange is in the Badlands. You know the location. I don't want to say this, but you better act quickly!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Jack nodded and was about to go over to help Bai Rui lift V up.

"No, Jack, the place I prepared for you is in Taiping Island." Victor stopped Jack and shook his head. "If you two act together, you will be too big a target. You must separate."

"Taiping Island?" Jack nodded. He knew that chaotic place.

"Bai Rui."

"Yes!"

Bai Rui, whose name was called, listened carefully.

Victor stepped forward and put his hand on Bai Rui's shoulder.

"V is up to you... Try your best." Victor sighed, shook his head and left. That was all he could do.

"Okay, Bai Rui, put me down. Just hold me. I can still walk by myself." V felt very awkward being held by the petite Bai Rui. She didn't want to be so weak and so helpless that she had to let her girlfriend protect her.

"It's okay, V!" Bai Rui used all his strength and picked up V effortlessly. "V, leave it to me to protect you!"

Bai Rui looked at V in his arms with burning eyes, his eyes full of determination.

Looking at Bai Rui's serious look, V said nothing, but his cheeks flushed and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

This is the first time I have seen Bai Rui like this.
