Morgery started the car as soon as Chen Zhao got in .

Looking at the b.l.o.o.d.y Morgery, Chen Zhao said after a stretch of silence, “Take off your s.h.i.+rt .

Morgery drove and tossed his s.h.i.+rt out the window at the same time .

“Where are we going this time?”

“San Diego . ”

“What? San Diego? That far?”

“Yes,” Morgery replied simply .

“I thought you would hide deep into the forest . Why are we going to San Diego?”

San Diego was more than 100 miles to the southeast of L . A . However, Mountain Town was northwest of L . A, so going from to San Diego from here without taking main roads, it would be at least 300 miles .

“It's close to Mexico,” Morgery said . “We plan on going into California Bay and getting to Mexico along the coast . ”

“Is it okay for you to tell me your escape route?”

“I trust you,” Morgery said .

Chen Zhao didn't know if he should be happy to be trusted by a gangster .

“How did you get this injury? All inflicted by sharp objects? Did you get into a fight?”

“Don't mention it . It's a woman . ”

“You can't even defeat a woman?”

“You won't be able to either . That woman is a beast . No one can beat her . ”

Chen Zhao couldn't argue with Morgery on this . He was a doctor, not a fighter .

“I don't think she went for the kill . ”

“That's why I say she's a beast . She's s.a.d.i.s.tic . ”

“Pretty?”

“If she's pretty, then there are no ugly girls in the world . ”

“Good…it's not her . ”

“What?”

“Nothing . ”

After exiting the L . A . area, the car went on a coastal road . One must admit that the scenery was beautiful . It had started cooling down and the ocean wind blowing into the window was chilly .

Chen Zhao had to keep the window open though . Otherwise, the car would be filled with the smell of blood . He couldn't stand the smell .

Morgery couldn't take the cold because he was s.h.i.+rtless… But he didn't say anything because he was…a man .

Chen Zhao glanced at him . “The cold breeze helps scatter your internal heat and improve blood circulation . It will help make your blood clot faster . ”

It was basically a type of heat consumption, just like jogging . Of course, if the heat dissipation wasn't controlled, there would be problems .

People didn't get better at combating the cold as they grew stronger . In reality, stronger people might be worse against the cold, because their heat sensations were more intense .

Bearing the cold took practice . Older people were better too, because their bodily functions and heat sensations had weakened . They reacted slower to the difference between cold and warm temperatures .

It was like how someone about to freeze to death would feel warm . For people freezing to death, their heat sensations were already dead, so they wouldn't feel the change in temperature . Instead, they would feel warm .

Of course, with Morgery's body, he wouldn't die from some breeze . He'd just get a cold at most…

Achoo .

“Chen, give me your jacket . ”

“I'll get cold . ”

“Me too . ”

“No, strong men don't say they're cold . ”

“Why do you see me like that? When did I say I'm a strong man?”

“So you're not?”

“Give me your jacket first . ”

“Giving a jacket to a man is disgusting . ” But in the end, Chen Zhao still did so .

The car ride was around four to five hours . Chen Zhao got dizzy, either because of the car or because of the wind .

Morgery and his boss were hidden in San Diego but not in the city . After getting there, he drove down a small road and avoided the city .

The winding path probably hadn't been maintained in more than 20 years . The surface was seriously broken .

Around two in the morning, the car parked before an abandoned train station . It was a grave for old-fas.h.i.+oned trains . There were a few rusted steam trains there .

One had to admit that it was a great place to hide in .

Knock, knock .

Morgery knocked on one car and it opened .

“Mr . Chen, you're here . ”

The dispirited man looked at Chen Zhao with pleasant shock . Chen Zhao remembered him . His name was something like Sanders and he was afraid of snakes .

The eerie guy named Nesta and the big boss were inside the car too . Nesta was still cold as before, but he nodded when he saw Chen Zhao .

“Mr . Chen . ” The boss lay weakly in the corner . Nesta helped him up .

Chen Zhao put down his tool kit and Sanders immediately moved aside . “Mr . Chen, did you bring that snake again?”

“Seems like you miss Raymond . Raymond, come meet your old friend . ”

Raymond slithered out of the box and started going for the man .

Chen Zhao went to the boss . “You look bad . Where are you hurt?”

With the help of Nesta, the boss turned with difficulty, revealing the bloodied bandage on his back . Chen Zhao opened it and was. .h.i.t in the face with the smell of rot .

The wound under the bandage was three finger's long, stretching from the left shoulder blade to the lower back . Most of it already had suppuration .

“This is at least three days old,” Chen Zhao said, furrowing his brows . “Why didn't you contact me earlier?”

“I've had these injuries before and healed in like ten days without doing anything…” the boss replied weakly .

“That just means you were lucky, but you won't be lucky every time . The same injury can have two possibilities under different situations . Some can heal itself with your immune system . Most will get infected . ”

Chen Zhao felt the boss's forehead . “You already have a fever . If you delayed it for another half day, you'd be going to the ICU . ”

“Is it serious?”

“It's mainly because you delayed it for so long . If this happens again, either contact me in time or find hard liquor to clean the wound . ”

Thankfully, Chen Zhao brought rubbing alcohol . This was the only medical product that Chen Zhao could get his hands on .

However, cleaning the wound and cutting off the decayed flesh would be very painful without anesthetics .

In addition to cleaning the wound, alcohol could also lower an object's temperature . Alcohol was highly volatile liquid . It could quickly take away heat when touching skin at room temperature .

Of course, he still had to use medicine . Chen Zhao gave the boss two Ibuprofen capsules . Most fever medicine were over-the-counter and could be bought at supermarkets .

Chen Zhao's tool kit was always supplied with some over-the-counter drugs, such as fever medicine, pain-relievers, and anti-inflammatory drugs . These often came handy .

Finally, he st.i.tched up the wound . The entire process took around 30 minutes .
