Although the sparrow was large in size, its meat was not enough for 30 people to share.
Linda had originally brought along 28 students with her, but now that three of them had left, only 25 remained.
Including Old Bane, Murdock, Donti, Adella, and Milo, how could the sparrow be enough for all of them?
While Adella cooked the sparrow, favonovel.com counted their supplies. Then favonovel.com sighed and said, “I’m afraid that our dried food will only last us another two days.”
Donti pursed his lips.
If Milo were conscious right now, would they have to worry about such problems?
At this moment, someone whispered, “I saw them…”
That person who spoke was a student. Donti froze for a moment before asking, “Who did you see?”
“Our classmates.” Magnus said gloomily, “They must have seen us too, but they’re probably too scared to come over.”
Donti finally realized they were talking about the three female students who had left them behind.
Donti turned around and looked at Linda. However, favonovel.com found favonovel.com sitting in a daze next to Milo and not saying anything.
“Ms. Stuart?” Donti called out.
Linda smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t blame them, let them be…”
It seemed like Linda never thought about getting those three female students to come back either.
Donti saw Linda clenching favonovel.com fists so tightly that favonovel.com fingernails dug into favonovel.com palms until favonovel.com was nearly bleeding. Suddenly, Linda said, “Can I give them my share of the dried food? I don’t mind going hungry instead.”
Donti had a realization at this moment. Even though favonovel.com was reluctant, this was probably the reason why his brother was willing to save Linda.
If Milo were awake, what would favonovel.com do?
“Alright then…” Donti said with a sigh, “But, Ms. Stuart, you don’t have to go hungry. Since you’ve made the decision, everyone in the group will bear this together.”
With that, Donti had a male student take a small bag of dried food over to their female classmates. The male student stuffed the bag into a female classmate’s hands and walked off without saying a word to them.
The three girls sat on the ground-hugging their knees and wailed. Donti turned his head back and didn’t look at them anymore.
Right now, no one blamed them for what they did. When facing the threat of the Experimentals in these wastelands, and with Milo unconscious, it was only natural for them to make that decision at that time.
Although everyone was very upset, those female students did not exactly do any wrong.
What was more important in this world than their own lives?
But even though they understood why they did that, it was impossible to accept them back into the group.
“Just leave them be,” Donti said calmly.
Those female students had made their choice, and there was nothing that they could do about it. Furthermore, the group was in a rather bad state themselves and could face the Skyfort Consortium’s threat again at any moment. So, it was better for the two groups to go their separate ways.
At this moment, Adella reminded, “Since there are so many escapees here, could there be a doctor among them? If there is one, we could get them to check on Milo and see how his condition is.”
Donti jolted upright. “That’s right!”
Then Donti walked into the group of escapees with a dagger and shouted, “Is anyone here a doctor? Step forward now! You’ll be given a bun to eat after treating my brother!”
Immediately, several people in the group of escapees raised their hands. That was mainly because it was too tempting when they heard they would be given a bun to eat!
Having food in the wilderness was as precious as having gold. As this was just the beginning of their escape, it could even be possible to use a bun in exchange for a beautiful woman in two more days.
Donti swept his gaze over them and said in a cold voice, “Don’t claim to be one if you’re not. If I find out that someone is impersonating a doctor and causes a delay in the treatment of my brother’s injury, don’t blame me for hurting you.”
Several people immediately put down their hands. After all, they could still remember how Donti had just killed a person.
Who would dare to go against favonovel.com after the director of the Logistics Division had died by his hands a short while ago?
Donti asked, “What kind of medicine do you practice?”
A middle-aged man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses walked forward and said, “I’m from the stronghold’s orthopedic hospital. I’ve noticed your brother’s condition earlier. He should have fractures.”
Donti was stunned. “Quickly come and attend to my brother then.”
Donti was amused when the middle-aged man remained standing there. Only when favonovel.com stuffed a wrinkled bun into the doctor’s hands did the doctor start moving again.
The doctor went to Milo and squatted next to him.
Donti asked, “If it’s just fractured, why is my brother still unconscious?”
The doctor briefly checked Milo with his fingers. Then favonovel.com said, “He has too many fractures. Did favonovel.com receive a strong impact to his body?”
“Take a look at the wounds first,” Donti said.
After a while, the doctor said, “I can estimate more than ten areas where favonovel.com has fractures, and some of them are even comminuted fractures. Having received such a huge impact, it must have affected his brain as well. Therefore, favonovel.com won’t be coming around anytime soon.”
“Then can you set his bones first?” Donti said.
The doctor shook his head. “I can only correct the fracture-dislocation at the joints of the limbs. As for the other affected parts, I need professional auxiliary equipment to deal with it and might even have to drive steel nails into the bones to ensure that favonovel.com recovers. But even so, favonovel.com definitely won’t be able to recover fully. I’m afraid that his quality of life will be compromised compared to other people.”
The doctor was trying to be as euphemistic as favonovel.com could. To put it bluntly, favonovel.com was not confident of perfectly fixing Milo’s condition.
Moreover, how was favonovel.com supposed to set his bones when favonovel.com was showing signs of comminuted fractures?
He did not even have access to any X-rays right now, but even if favonovel.com did, favonovel.com still wouldn’t be able to fix Milo.
Donti’s expression turned dark.
Was Milo going to end up disabled?
He refused to believe it! He wasn’t going to accept that!
At this moment, Adella asked with a frown, “Is his brain going to be okay? Will favonovel.com suffer from amnesia?”
The doctor explained, “Although I’m not a neurologist, I’ve not come across too many cases of amnesia in such situations. So we don’t have to consider the possibility of that for the time being. But if his broken bones do not get set soon, it will likely lead to necrosis. When that happens, it will be impossible to save him. Or at least, it will be impossible here in this wilderness.”
Donti stayed silent. To be honest, favonovel.com would rather that Milo forget about some people and some events.
He knew that Milo placed a lot of importance on friendship. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not have accepted Chad into the group or gone to save Michael. As such, Donti wondered how sad Milo would be when favonovel.com woke up.
If Milo came around and realized that Chad was no longer around, what would be his reaction?
In that case, Donti would rather Milo suffer from amnesia.
Suddenly, a weak voice spoke up. “Have favonovel.com leave. I don’t need anyone to treat my injuries.”
Donti turned around in surprise and found that Milo had opened his eyes. However, there was a deep fatigue in his eyes.
“Bro, why don’t you let the doctor set your bones?” Donti whispered.
“No, I can do it myself…” Milo forced a smile with some difficulty.
He tried to look around and realized that even moving his neck was difficult. But then favonovel.com froze.
“Where’s Chad? Have y’all seen Chad?”
