“Stop talking nonsense, quickly call your family to pay the ransom….”
Hearing Li Guanjun's words, Qi Shu immediately shrank her neck and whispered to Zhang Heng, who was beside her, “Brother Xiao Heng, I always feel that Li Guanjun is more like a bandit than the bandit leader.”
Zhang Heng didn't dare to respond, but he also thought the same thing in his heart, as if Li Guanjun was the true bandit with a legitimate title.
Zhang Lei Yuan nudged Zhang Heng with his shoulder and said, “Xiao Heng, don't just stand there. Go treat Hydreigon, don't let it die. If it's nurtured well in the future, maybe we can even get a Pokémon egg.”
As he finished speaking, he handed Zhang Heng a portable emergency medical kit and pushed Zhang Heng towards Hydreigon.
Then Zhang Lei Yuan looked up at Malamar, which was floating in the air with Dr. Chen, and said, “Squid, come down.”
Malamar was stunned when it heard this, then it saw its master picking up a satellite phone and dialing a number, and its young master, who had been captured by the enemy and was now unconscious. It knew that they had already lost.
It slowly floated down with Dr. Chen in front of Zhang Lei Yuan, gently placing Dr. Chen on the ground, while Overlord Charizard was scrutinizing the Malamar with dangerous eyes.
Malamar was a little scared from being stared at, fearing it would be made into grilled squid. It was only at the Quasi-Champion level and had no ability to resist such a Champion Pokémon.
Zhang Lei Yuan began to examine Dr. Chen's condition, assessing his physical state, observing Dr. Chen's posture, eye sockets, cheekbones, etc., noting clear signs of emaciation, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalance. At the same time, he checked his stomach by touching his abdomen and did not feel any gastric residue.
“It seems he's been hungry for several days. I wonder if his vital signs are normal.”
He then took out some simple testing instruments to monitor Dr. Chen's vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, to assess if there were any abnormalities, such as a heart rate that was too fast or too slow, or abnormal blood pressure. These abnormalities might be related to not eating for a long time.
Zhang Lei Yuan wiped a bead of sweat and said, “It's not a big problem. It's just that he's getting old, he's been exposed to the cold wind in the sky for too long, he hasn't eaten, and the impact of Psychic-type energy on his cerebral cortex caused him to fall into this state.”
Malamar stood quietly nearby, not daring to leave or speak, as the internal organs and chest of Houndoom, which was shattered in the pit, and the lifeless corpse lying in the dense forest, served as excellent warnings.
At this moment, Zhang Heng had already arrived in front of Hydreigon, facing considerable trouble. Hydreigon's right dragon head, along with its neck, had been severed by Li Guanjun's Charizard. Treating such an open wound was extremely tricky.
It was only because of a Quasi-Legendary Pokémon's good physique; otherwise, a regular Pokémon with such a large open wound and having bled for so long would have surely died long ago.
For wounds with active bleeding, compression hemostasis should be the first choice. Zhang Heng quickly put on sterile white rubber gloves and took out two relatively large sterile hemostatic gauze pads.
He quickly pressed them onto Hydreigon's open wound on its right side.
Awoo~ The pain from the compression on the wound suddenly startled Hydreigon awake. Looking at the unfamiliar man in front of it, it immediately became hostile, and surging Dragon-type energy gathered in its mouth.
“Not good, Rampardos! Use Stone Edge…”
Luo Hong, who noticed Hydreigon's abnormality immediately, was about to have Rampardos finish it off, but Zhang Lei Yuan suddenly extended an arm, blocking him.
“Brother Luo, don't worry, Xiao Heng isn't panicking either.”
Indeed, they could only see the side of Zhang Heng's face as he knelt down to treat Hydreigon, but it was clear that Zhang Heng showed no signs of dodging or panicking.
At this moment, Zhang Heng's hands were both pressed on Hydreigon's body. Seeing the Dragon-type energy suddenly surge from Hydreigon,
he instantly activated the Dragon-type affinity granted by the system. However, Hydreigon was Liziji's Pokémon, so it certainly couldn't establish a mental connection with Zhang Heng. It could only make Hydreigon feel Zhang Heng's intention, that he would not cause it any harm.
The scenes of Hydreigon being abandoned by its young master still echoed in its mind, like a love-struck person suffering from emotional setbacks, deciding to seal off its heart. But then it felt the pure goodwill from Zhang Heng's heart and was immediately hooked like a fish. The surging Dragon-type energy in its mouth began to slowly dissipate.
As Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed that Hydreigon's open wound was still bleeding because it had just started to use Dragon-type energy.
“There's no other way, let's try.”
He activated Hydro to connect with the water scroll, and immediately, a pure Water-type energy surged and gathered around, finally transforming into a yellow Pokémon.
“Gaga~” It tilted its head, holding its hands to its head, looking at Zhang Heng as if asking why it was summoned. That's right, this was Psyduck from the Water Tower trial.
Zhang Heng didn't have time to explain anything and said anxiously, “Quick, Psyduck, use Confusion to help me stop its bleeding.”
Buzz buzz~ Psyduck held its head with both hands, its eyes glowing blue, and the Confusion skill, a Psychic-type energy, covered Hydreigon's wound, blocking the blood flow by applying pressure.
This was exactly how Lin Yue's Golduck had treated its own wound in an emergency when its arm was broken earlier.
Zhang Heng pulled out a rinse bottle and a packet of disinfectant from the medical kit, quickly putting the disinfectant into the bottle.
Zhang Heng took out a pink love ball and said, “Come out, Mudkip.”
The pink Mudkip thus appeared before everyone. Mudkip lightly hopped onto Zhang Heng's shoulder.
“Mudkip, use Water Gun to help me fill this bottle.”
Whoosh~ A thin stream of water immediately filled Zhang Heng's rinse bottle. Zhang Heng didn't waste any words. After thoroughly shaking the medicine and water, he slowly rinsed Hydreigon's wound with the medicine from the rinse bottle.
The cool water did not make Hydreigon feel better; instead, the stinging pain from the wound made it even more uncomfortable.
Zhang Heng also encouraged it, saying, “Hold on, Hydreigon. Mudkip, use Water Gun to rinse the wound together.”
Wound irrigation is a very necessary procedure. Pulsed irrigation with disinfectant solution at 15 PSI is more effective at removing particles from the wound, has a lower infection rate, and can better ensure wound cleanliness and reduce bacterial infection.
After doing all this, Zhang Heng quickly took out gauze and bandages and skillfully wrapped Hydreigon's wound completely.
