Chapter 1357 - Combined Rescue (2/2)
“Hey, what’s with the attitude, can’t I buy some food downstairs?”
He immediately exhaled a breath of relief. “So you’re around your residential estate? Do you have your car keys with you?”
“Duh.” Garcia’s unhappy reply came through the phone. “What’s your point?”
Roland coughed twice, then replied with a solemn voice, “Listen well, I have a life-and-death request to ask of you, and only you can do it.”
“Oh…” Her anger immediately subsided, “Must… it be done over the phone?”
“Yes, we don’t have time. Drive over to Six Li Pavilion that’s two streets away immediately and pick up a lady called Scroll. She will be waiting by the road, and you definitely won’t miss her. Once you pick her up, send her over to the western suburbs expressway, which is where I am at now. The average travel time between these two points is about 30 minutes, but I do not have much time left. I need you to rush over with your fastest speed, I will take responsibility for all the troubles—Please, start moving now!”
“…” The other end of the line remained silent for a few seconds, followed by the sounds of a sprint. “You don’t have the time to explain anything now?”
“That’s right.”
“Alright, if I arrive at your location and realize that the situation isn’t as urgent as it seems, you should know how serious the consequences will be! Also, you owe me a favor.” The sound of a car engine revving sounded and she hung up.
Roland keyed in Defender Rock’s number.
This time, he gave a rough summary of what happened over the phone, “Miss Fei Yuhan is severely injured right now and requires the Association to dispatch the best doctor and equipment to execute an emergency surgery. But this isn’t enough, Garcia is currently bringing crucial emergency equipment over. If possible, I hope the Association can contact the Public Roads Department and get them to control the roads for her to reach the expressway as quickly as possible.”
Rock immediately agreed and liaised directly with the Public Roads Department, but Roland knew that the possibility of the government taking action without any prior communication was minuscule. Whether or not Garcia could arrive smoothly depended greatly on herself.
It took Roland five minutes to finish the calls.
All he could do now was wait.
Amidst the adversity was a silver lining. In winter, the traffic wasn’t bad, especially so for the suburbs. So long as it was not the peak hour, Garcia could drive a van at its fastest speed.
“Uncle, Master, she… she… can’t hold on anymore!” Suddenly, Zero’s cries broke Roland’s train of thoughts.
Roland immediately returned to Fei Yuhan’s side. Her chest which was moving slightly previously had stopped.
“Her heart and breathing has stopped.” Valkries frowned. “Although I have no idea what you’re trying to do, I’m afraid it is too late.”
“No, she will be able to make it.” Roland extended his hand out and touched Fei Yuhan’s forehead. “We are already at this stage, I believe she will not give up that easily.”
He had seen research verifying that the brain would still work for a period of time after the body functions came to a halt. The shortest time recorded was ten seconds, the longest a few minutes. The brainwaves during this period resembled that of a person having REM Sleep. How long the brain could continue working depended on various factors, but in terms of determination, it was fortunate that the genius Martial Artist was a person very well known for it.
10 minutes and 25 seconds later, a reverberating car sound came from the end of the bridge.
Roland’s eyes immediately lit up.
A simple and old-looking car ran through the red light and stopped right in front of the three.
“Your Majesty!” Scroll opened the car doors and threw a paper bag over to Roland.
The latter ignored Zero and Garcia’s surprised expressions, tore the bag opened, and placed the medical sutures on Fei Yuhan’s body.
“Is that… an enchanted object created by a witch?” Valkries frowned.
“That’s right. As long as it takes effect, we can save a person even if they are on their last dying breath.” Roland nodded.
In that moment, Nana’s power crossed from reality to the Dream World and worked on the body of a girl from the other world. Disturbing noises came out from Fei Yuhan’s body as her flesh and internal organs started to reform and bind together under the effects of the magic power.
It was after more than 10 minutes when everyone heard the faintest thump sound.
Although it was extremely weak, it was the most beautiful sound ever.
Fei Yuhan’s chest started to heave once more.
