After clearing the battlefield, CCG personnel gradually withdrew from the Bronze Tree base.
Su Xiao sat inside a dical vehicle, his wounds had been stitched and bandaged. Although the wound on his abdon had bled a lot, it did not damage any internal organs.
Given his resilience, such injuries only needed to be stitched and bandaged followed by so rest, and he would recover quickly.
"Alright, neither of the two wounds hit any vital areas. Rember to take your dicine on ti."
A young nurse carefully bandaged Su Xiao’s wounds and handed him several types of dicine.
"Investigators truly have a dangerous job. In less than half a month, you’ve been injured twice."
The young nurse smiled at Su Xiao.
"Who are you?"
Suturing and bandaging the wounds made Su Xiao break out in a cold sweat. The young nurse’s delicate face seed increasingly familiar, gradually evoking so bad mories.
When he had just entered the ghoul world and fought Takatsuki Sen, it was this young nurse who helped suture his wounds.
Recalling the piercing pain earlier, Su Xiao’s face twitched.
"..."
Su Xiao, who wasn’t fazed even in a fight with Takatsuki Sen, didn’t want to see this young nurse again at all.
Beneath her angelic sweet smile, there was definitely a ’Demon Heart’ with a pink surface and a black core inside.
Her rough thod of cleaning wounds left a deep impression on Su Xiao.
"Seems like you rember . My patients typically don’t forget ."
Su Xiao nodded and silently got out of the car.
"Rember to take your dicine; don’t stop it."
Su Xiao paused in his footsteps, and after a while, finally replied with an ’I know.’
Sirens were blaring all around. Breathing in the fresh night air, a faint scent of blood lingered.
"My hand, where is my arm?"
"Quick, this person is losing a lot of blood, bring a blood bag!"
The wails of the wounded were endless. Although CCG achieved victory, it ca at a considerable cost.
"Doctor, will I still be able to stand up? Answer ."
A panicked investigator, whose spine had been pierced, grabbed the doctor’s arm; the lower half of his body was already numb.
The doctor turned his head, signaling other dical personnel to carry the injured onto a vehicle.
The investigator’s face turned ashen as he lay on the stretcher, gazing at the stars.
Compared to CCG’s injured, the ghouls of the Bronze Tree were significantly quieter, as they were all sealed in body bags.
CCG’s convoy gradually retreated, and around one o’clock in the morning, Su Xiao returned to the District 20 branch.
The intensity of his combat tonight was intense, and the heavy blood loss left him extrely fatigued.
Upon reaching the living quarters arranged by Marude Itsuki, Su Xiao fell asleep instantly. When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside the window.
He picked up the alarm clock by his bed; it was already ten in the morning.
After washing up, Su Xiao headed to Marude Itsuki’s office.
"How did you rest? I saw you were quite injured yesterday."
Marude Itsuki put down a stack of docunts he was holding, having already guessed Su Xiao’s intention.
The war with the Bronze Tree was over, and Su Xiao needed to return to the 24th District since he was a mber of the Zero Squad.
"The wounds are healing well; I should fully recover in at most three days."
Before last night’s battle with Kaneki Ken, Su Xiao had eaten the last "Salt Rice Ball," which significantly accelerated his recovery speed.
Normally, his injuries would take at least half a month to heal completely.
"That’s good, leaving now?"
"Leaving now."
"I’ll arrange a car for you."
Marude Itsuki picked up the phone by his side, spoke a few words, and within a few minutes, an office lady in business attire pushed the door open.
"Mister Bai Ye, the car has been arranged for you."
After bidding farewell to Marude Itsuki, Su Xiao got into the vehicle heading back to the 24th District.
Soon, the vehicle arrived in front of the temporary branch of District 24, and Su Xiao got out and went inside.
The temporary branch was much the sa as always, with so ordinary staff working.
Su Xiao went straight to the logistics departnt of the temporary branch, where a thin old man with small round sunglasses was lazily lying behind the window.
Su Xiao knocked on the glass of the window, which imdiately roused the almost drowsy old man.
"Who is it? Hmm? Oh, it’s Mister Bai Ye. Do you need anything?"
"I want to exchange so items."
The thin old man imdiately beca spirited.
"Let check, you are recorded with the position of Quasi Special Investigator. Please choose the items you need."
As the thin old man spoke, an exchange list appeared before Su Xiao.
"Human Gene Enhancent Liquid"
Exchange requirents: 15,000 CCG Contribution Points, Quasi-Special Investigator position.
"Fairy Crusher (Premium)"
Exchange requirents: 13,000 CCG Contribution Points, Quasi-Special Investigator position.
...
Su Xiao chose the "Human Gene Enhancent Liquid." After making his selection, his CCG Contribution Points rapidly decreased, leaving just {Quasi-Special Investigator: Contribution Value 2723/130000.}
To be promoted to First-Class Investigator, 130,000 CCG Contribution Points are needed. Su Xiao didn’t require the First-Class Investigator position, so it was wise to directly spend the CCG Contribution Points to enhance his strength quickly.
Spending CCG Contribution Points wouldn’t result in a decrease in position, as he had previously confird with Reincarnation Paradise.
After successfully exchanging, Su Xiao had a bottle of bright green potion in his hand. The potion was contained in a glass test tube, with intricately embedded tal lines on the outer wall of the tube for reinforcent.
Holding the "Human Gene Enhancent Liquid," Su Xiao couldn’t help but smile. He had ventured deep into the 24th District and participated in battles in the 11th District for this bottle of enhancent liquid.
It was all worth it, because after drinking this enhancent liquid, his strength would significantly improve.
Having exchanged for the "Human Gene Enhancent Liquid," Su Xiao quickly walked towards his room.
"Mister Bai Ye..."
A staff mber just wanted to call out to Su Xiao, but he was already hurrying upstairs.
The staff mber hesitated for a mont, ultimately deciding not to disturb Su Xiao.
Back in his room, Su Xiao locked the door and drew the curtains. Although this series of actions was a bit suspicious, the "Human Gene Enhancent Liquid" did not specify what reactions might occur after consumption.
It only indicated that it would enhance attributes without side effects, but it didn’t specify what might happen during the process of drinking it.
Out of caution, Su Xiao placed the Dragon Slash within reach.
He uncorked the "Human Gene Enhancent Liquid," first sniffing it, detecting a refreshing plant scent.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao downed the "Human Gene Enhancent Liquid" in one go.
An indescribable taste flooded his taste buds, and he furrowed his brow tightly.
"What is this odd taste?"
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting to see any changes, but even after a long while, nothing seed out of the ordinary.
Checking his strength and stamina attributes, there was no enhancent.
Could it be that he had bought a counterfeit?!
As Su Xiao pondered this, a warm sensation began spreading throughout his body.
This warm sensation was gentle, gradually dispersing inside him, and in the end, he felt as if his entire body was imrsed in warm water.
His blood flow increased, and the muscles all over his body started to twitch slightly.
Su Xiao could clearly feel his body getting stronger, his heartbeat more forceful, his breathing easier, and his mind seed clearer.
The injuries he had sustained during the battle in the 11th District were healing at a visible rate.
"Human Gene Enhancent Liquid" was truly a Blue Quality Enhancent Potion, with evident strengthening effects and a gentle process.
