Apocalypse, then transforming into a magical girl

Bai Shuyuan could clearly sense a faint pulsation coming from the spot her fingers touched.

Although this pulse is already quite faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, it won't stop immediately.

This person's vital signs can be maintained for the time being.

Thanks to her skill, the force and the location of her press were just right.

She precisely blocked the fatal gap in the artery without causing tissue damage due to excessive force.

"Wow! Shiro is amazing!"

Xia Zhaozhao held the child, who was about two or three years old, and exclaimed in surprise.

"How could someone whose neck was almost broken be saved..."

...Of course, her neck wasn't about to break; it was just that there was a rupture in the common carotid artery. This was an exaggerated statement, Bai Shuyuan corrected in her mind.

However, despite the discrepancy in the facts, she did not dislike the undisguised admiration in his words and accepted it wholeheartedly.

"It's not broken, it's just torn," Bai Shuyuan explained.

"oh oh……"

Xia Zhaozhao nodded as if she understood, but the admiration on her face did not diminish.

A ruptured carotid artery is relatively easy to treat on your own.

If the common carotid artery is completely severed, the elasticity of the blood vessel will cause the two severed ends to quickly retract into deeper parts of the body.

Only when it gets to that point will it become relatively difficult to handle.

In retrospect, the timing of this person's suicide and the blunt knife he used kept the situation within a relatively easy threshold.

In a sense, it can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

However, she certainly wasn't going to stay in that position forever.

"This is just a temporary measure; it won't last long," she stated the facts.

Then, she looked at Xia Zhaozhao, who seemed about to ask something, and quickly said, "Hurry back to the bank and call Sasha over!"

"Huh? Sasha?"

Xia Zhaozhao's voice was filled with questions, but her body reacted much faster than her brain, and she quickly prepared to go find Sasha.

"Go quickly, I'll wait for you."

Bai Shuyuan did not offer any further explanation.

Holding the unconscious child in her arms, Xia Zhaozhao picked up the grotesquely shaped aggregate with her other hand, turned around, and rushed into the rain, speeding towards the bank.

Silence returned to the room.

Bai Shuyuan maintained her original posture and began to observe the surrounding environment, her gaze sweeping across the small room.

This place was used as a trench by the one-armed man.

Bai Shuyuan's gaze swept over the battery packs, which had been dismantled to almost nothing but skeletons. The batteries seemed to have been used to set up a makeshift incineration trap.

With the advantage of the terrain, a simple trap was enough to allow this man, even after losing three limbs, to still defend against sporadic attacks from monsters.

His supplies should have been piled under that overturned low table, which seemed to be a temporary shelter, with some remnants of supplies and a trace of "life".

However, it was just wreckage; there were hardly any supplies left, and the man was not lying in the shelter at the moment.

It was probably during a period of blurred consciousness that the pain or hallucinations caused it to tumble out unconsciously.

However, this allowed Bai Shuyuan to pinch his vein to stop the bleeding immediately, allowing him to retain tens of milliliters of blood, which increased his chances of survival.

Even so, Bai Shuyuan still felt thick blood seeping out from her fingertips.

The pressure in her carotid artery was extremely high, and although the force of her heartbeat was weak, it still pounded against her fingertips, trying to break free of its restraints and burst out of her body.

Moreover, she is not a magical girl known for her strength.

Although my physical condition has been strengthened, maintaining this posture is still a little strenuous.

Just then, her ears caught a discordant sound.

It was a similar sound to the previous canine-shaped aggregate. Moreover, the source of the strange noise was rapidly approaching.

Sure enough, it was the same type of aggregate as before. The stench of blood here was too strong; they would likely find this place very soon.

It's a bit troublesome," Bai Shuyuan mentally assessed.

After all, his right hand, which was pressing on the artery, couldn't move, and he was confined to this small area, which wasn't his favorite tactical scenario.

However, she has of course made contingency plans for the current situation.

Her free left hand silently reached inside her raincoat and pulled out a revolver.

It was the same model as the pistol given to Mayfly, but not as precious as the NTW-14.5. As a reliable and easy-to-maintain consumable, she naturally had more than one in her supplies.

She slightly raised the muzzle of her gun and pointed it at that spot.

Suddenly, a distorted figure appeared in that spot.

Next up was the second one.

It was exactly the same as the one that Xia Zhaozhao had kicked away; it was roughly the outline of a canine, but the size and details were different.

One was slightly smaller, while the other was several sizes larger than the previous one, likely due to the different hosts it consumed.

They didn't seem to attack immediately. Their eyes quickly scanned the room, eventually focusing on the two pieces of food in front of them.

A threatening growl rang out, and the two monsters crouched low, moving like springs as they slowly approached their prey.

Bai Shuyuan's pupils instantly turned gold as she began to deconstruct the monsters before her.

The weak points of the individual on the left are located in the skull; the weak points of the individual on the right are scattered, but are generally distributed in the abdominal cavity.

They may seem the same, but their weaknesses are different.

The two monsters probably thought they had entered a hunting range that could kill them with a single blow.

They suddenly sprang up at the same instant!

Two monsters pounced on the immobile Bai Shuyuan from the left and right in a perfect pincer attack!

"Bang! Bang!"

However, the revolver in Bai Shuyuan's hand made two loud bangs the instant their bodies were suspended in mid-air, creating a huge roar in the small room.

Within ten meters, the gun is both accurate and fast, which is beyond the laws of physics.

The first bullet, carrying immense kinetic energy, accurately struck the skull of one of the monsters.

The second bullet, after a 0.1-second delay, tore open the abdomen of another monster.

The kinetic energy brought their attack to an abrupt halt, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of air. The attack turned into a disarrayed tumble.

They crashed heavily to the ground, rolling and convulsing, while the black substance that made up their bodies quickly disintegrated and collapsed, turning into a puddle of mud.

The problem is temporarily solved, for now.

The strange noise didn't stop with the appearance of the two lumps of mud. Clearly, there were more than two wandering individuals.

Moreover, the two previous gunshots likely had a considerable effective range. For those involved in the coalition, this was tantamount to an invitation to a large party.
