Chapter 45 Fret

“Wait for me here, I am going!” Jing nervously looked at Chang wheezing, she didn’t to want waste even a second; she wiped away her tears and ran south hastily.

And Chang continued to stay on the ground feeling the pain.

After Jing left, his body calmed from the state of convulsing in a few minutes. His breathing was still rapid, the blood taste in his throat didn’t go away at all and his breathing began to smell bad as well.

He took a quick glance at the dead bullfrog and murmured to himself sarcastically “This is the third time I have asked him to come save me these days.”

The first time was in the sewer, where he lived through the fear of uncertainty and death. And this time he became immobile and his skin was burnt off. In total, he succeeded four times and was endangered twice, this was how risky hunting was.

Although the acid burn made it difficult to breath, he was actually feeling much better than the last time – It was such a big frog! And he was safe for now as long as the blood smell hadn’t attracted other predator. Therefore, even if he looked terrible with the crimson and charred skin, at least his mind was calm.

Chang even began to a.n.a.lyze the hunting experience these days.

Needless to say hunting was challenging and meat storing was impossible. Even though he had all these improvements on his body, getting something was still difficult and risky. That’s why Chang was thinking to reduce the times of going out for hunting.

And this time the bullfrog was huge enough for them to eat for a while if they had proper preservation methods.

While Chang was planning all these, his breathing slowly calmed down. Although the shortness of breath was still pretty severe, he had recovered from the hypoxic state, letting his mind become clearer.

Upon the partial recovery of his respiratory function and mobility, Chang didn’t sit up immediately, the strong sense of weakness still existed. Thinking of this, he simply decided to lie on ground to wait for Qing Shui to come.

The spot was pretty close to the base, Chang believed that they would come soon – and as expected, in 20 minutes, he saw Jing had brought Qing Shui, Pangzi, Lin and the young woman, who lived in the same dorm room and lost her parent not long ago, came together.

With the help of Jing’s ability, they easily found Chang in the lush gra.s.s bush, and the latter struggled to sit up when he saw his companion came, he then revealed a confused look when he noticed the young woman.

“I didn’t know she is a doctor, I asked her to come for exchange of three packs of hardtacks.” Qing Shui turned to that young woman after he explained “Dr. Huang, please forgive us for not being very helpful on your parent’s death…I hope you can take a look of my friend here.”

“Sure.” She still had the numb expression on her face like she was in the dorm; she nodded calmly and crouched down to Chang to examine his injury – she carefully smelled Chang’s breathing and examined the burn marks on his body. She said to Qing Shui “His obvious symptom is water-electrolyte imbalance, it was caused by the acute kidney failure from the extensive burn.”

“Acute kidney failure? It is a serious disease, isn’t it?” Qing Shui furrowed his brow when he heard the young woman’ diagnose. Although he was not a doctor, he knew the severity of acute kidney failure. It was a lethal disease; it was also difficult to cure. Qing Shui was shocked by the information and had to asked again

“Is it possible that you can treat him?”

“In the medical knowledge I had known, it was simply incurable without the right equipment and related medication,” The young woman was still examining “But I don’t think you need to worry too much, because in theory, the symptom of water-electrolyte imbalance takes at least a few hours to appear even it is caused by acute kidney failure, but he is very special. Due to the evolution on human bodies now, the physiological mechanisms of human body might have changed. Therefore, he won’t die, instead, I feel like his body is healing itself rapidly.”

The young woman spoke as she carefully peeled of a piece of charred skin off of Chang’s chest. She observed that piece of skin seriously and said “The self-repair ability of him is strong, and those failing internal organs seems to be getting better overtime. Look at him, his breathing has become more stable compared to the first time I examined him, and the breathing odor is fading as well. These is evidence of improvement of the metabolic functions. So don’t worried, if things go well as I predicted, he will recover soon.”
