Walking to the overturned tanker truck, Xiao He swiftly climbed up.
The young man in black, Meng Zihao, saw Xiao He and his eyes lit up, quickly extending a hand: "Thank you for coming to help!"
"No problem." Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony either, directly using his strength to steady himself on the truck's front: "What's the current situation?"
"His foot is injured, he can't walk." Meng Zihao said, "I'll go down first to check the situation, you provide support from up here."
Xiao He: "Alright."
After the two briefly divided tasks, Meng Zihao jumped down to begin the rescue. It was only then that Xiao He saw the driver's kneecap bone was already protruding.
The stark white bone, mixed with flesh and blood - just looking at it made Xiao He feel the pain.
And indeed, the driver was trembling from the pain.
Meng Zihao seemed to have professional rescue experience. After going down, he didn't immediately move the driver, but first confirmed the driver wasn't pinned by anything else. Then he immediately used tools at hand to help the driver with emergency bleeding control and stabilization, preventing secondary injuries during movement. Finally, he bent down, using his body to carry the driver on his back, approaching Xiao He above: "Can you reach?"
Xiao He's gaze focused as he lay by the car window, bending down into a half-kneeling position to exert force, steadily lifting the driver out.
But immediately, Xiao He heard his own waist make a faint cracking sound.
Xiao He: ...Damn it, buddy, don't fail me at this critical moment!
Fortunately, although his waist hurt, his strength remained. Xiao He held his breath and steadily placed the driver down, then gritted his teeth while pressing on his waist.
Thinking back now, it was probably because earlier in the car, when he reached out to push the steering wheel, he had leaned half his body toward the front driver's seat. So during the vehicle impact, Xiao He's waist had bent right over the headrest of the driver's seat.
Although based on the current situation, he could still walk and jump around, but later might be a different story.
Indeed, at critical moments, adrenaline tells us who's really in charge—but boss, hold on a bit longer! This person is almost gone!
Meng Zihao seemed to have professional rescue experience. After going down, he didn't immediately move the driver, but first confirmed the driver wasn't pinned by anything else. Then he immediately used tools at hand to help the driver with emergency hemostasis and stabilization, preventing secondary injuries during movement. Finally, he bent down, using his body to carry the driver on his back, approaching Xiao He above: "Can you reach?"
"Hey—" Seeing Xiao He walking with a limp, Meng Zihao felt too embarrassed to ask for more help. Fortunately, another brave man came over and proactively said: "Let me help!"
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
Meng Zihao didn't dwell on it further, quickly focusing on the rescue work.
Xiao He supported his waist as he walked to the roadside. Xiao Chen saw Xiao He and quickly helped him sit down: "Brother Xiao, why did you go rescue others too!"
Who had ever seen someone who'd been in such a serious car crash acting like nothing was wrong, then going to help strangers rescue other people?
Xiao He also made a pained face, directly lying down: "Ah, damn, I regret it too. I hope I didn't injure my spine, it hurts so much—"
Earlier he had seen a video where a girl got in a car accident, her neck was broken but she felt completely fine, bouncing around lively at the scene, even having the leisure to film videos recording her wonderful life.
Then the next moment she was holding her head going to the hospital.
Xiao He originally thought this wouldn't happen to him, but now it was really proving that saying "don't fear those wailing loudly, fear those bouncing around lively."
Of course, please don't imitate this - Xiao He had cheats, so if something really happened he wasn't too afraid.
Liu Rulan was also quite speechless nearby.
Her head had been cut by glass fragments and was still bleeding somewhat. She could only press on her bleeding head while roasting with utter speechlessness: "You really think you're Superman? Or have you been filming too many movies lately, thinking you have super recovery abilities?"
"Super recovery abilities?"
Xiao He's eyes lit up.
Right, this skill is good, this one, this one!
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, quick, lend me your hand—ow, my poor back—"
Both Liu Rulan and Xiao He were lying down. The only "survivor" Xiao Chen was so flustered he didn't know what to do, but unfortunately the ambulance hadn't arrived yet. Hearing Xiao He's call, he quickly came over and felt around Xiao He's waist: "Brother Xiao, are you okay?"
Xiao He didn't answer him, instead directly calling out in his mind: "System, system, quick, give me a super recovery ability or similar skill!"
[Very sorry, current balance insufficient.]
Xiao He: ?
Xiao He glanced at his over one hundred thousand points, rolling his eyes: "Don't I have enough? Are you trying to jack up prices at this moment?"
[Very sorry, current point value insufficient, unable to draw from high-level prize pool. Automatically matching related skills or items based on your request...]
[Recommended item: Adrenaline]
[Recommended item: Accelerated Recovery Bandage]
[Recommended item: Recovery Gene Potion (incomplete)]
Xiao He was startled by the system's first half of the message, then suddenly remembered there was still an unopened section in his lottery pool—the premium prize pool.
Before this, Xiao He never knew what was inside, and the system wouldn't tell him details due to insufficient permissions.
Now Xiao He finally vaguely understood from the system's words what might be in the premium prize pool...
But this wasn't the time to consider that. The premium prize pool cost a million per draw, too distant for current him. Xiao He decisively targeted [Recovery Gene Potion (incomplete)], then reached out to grab Xiao Chen's finger, muttering incessantly: "Xiao Chen ah, whether my injuries recover now depends on your Emperor power!"
Xiao Chen: ?
Give it to me!
[Congratulations on obtaining "Recovery Gene Potion (incomplete)", automatically stored]
[Detecting current physical abnormalities, use immediately?]
"Yes!"
Xiao He's eyes turned red.
Truly worthy of Emperor Chen! Actually got it in one draw!
And following Xiao He's words, he felt the intense pain in his waist gradually easing. Other places on his body that had been painfully bumped also slowly lost their previous dull ache.
Truly worthy of system products! This is really awesome!
Then Xiao He remembered something, looking toward Liu Rulan nearby whose head was covered in blood.
Her head had been cut by glass fragments and was still bleeding somewhat. She could only press on her bleeding head while roasting with utter speechlessness: "You really think you're Superman? Or have you been filming too many movies lately, thinking you have super recovery abilities?"
"Xiao Chen, continue to assist me!"

Xiao He: !!!!
What is this called?!
What the hell is this called?!!
Although the second targeting took two more draws, for a desperate African Chief, this was already the European Emperor among European Emperors, the premium among premium!
Xiao He's eyes went straight.
Both Liu Rulan and Xiao He were lying down. The only "survivor" Xiao Chen was so flustered he didn't know what to do, but unfortunately the ambulance hadn't arrived yet. Hearing Xiao He's call, he quickly came over and felt around Xiao He's waist: "Brother Xiao, are you okay?"
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen suddenly felt dizzy: "Brother Xiao, I feel my adrenaline is also about to run out, why do I feel so dizzy."
Xiao He: ?!!!
What are you saying! you absolutely must not collapse!!!
