With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Seeing that the leader was still standing there without moving, Li Zhan glared at him and said, "His Highness told you to get in the carriage, how dare you disobey?"

"Yes..." The leader was startled and hurriedly got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Nangong Wu and Bei Chenyan sat facing each other. The leader entered the carriage, glanced at them, and sat down next to the door, looking very reserved.

"Turn your back over, I'll treat your injury," Nangong Wu said to him, taking out a small medicine box, opening the lid, and setting out the scalpels she would need.

This person was shot in the joint between his left shoulder and arm, and is still bleeding.

The leader had his back to them, shifted his buttocks further in, and then pulled open the collar on his left shoulder, revealing his arm.

Bei Chenyan frowned, took the scalpel from Nangong Wu's hand, and said, "Tell me, let me treat you."

"You, a noble princess, are treating the wounds of a prisoner? Does his lowly life deserve that?"

The thought of Nangong Wu's hand touching this man's dirty body made him feel uncomfortable.

"You're not good enough yet, but you can learn first, and I'll let you do it next time." Nangong Wu took out a tourniquet and tied it near the wound. "This is a tourniquet."

Then, holding the clamps, he picked up a piece of gauze, "First, stop the bleeding, then disinfect..."

Nangong Wu explained it to him one by one.

Seeing how carefully she treated her wound, Bei Chenyan felt a little jealous.

"You're so meticulous about such a small wound. When we were wounded before, and when the soldiers were wounded on the battlefield, no matter how big the wound was, we just poured on some hemostatic medicine and bandaged it up."

"That's because your medical resources are limited, which leads to a high mortality rate among the wounded." Nangong Wu glanced at him indifferently. "Watch closely, I'm teaching you now."

Bei Chenyan fell silent and stared intently.

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Wu decided to apply some anesthetic to the person.

Outside on the main street, because of the execution of the Ji family's entire clan, the Imperial Guards were arresting people everywhere, causing panic among the common people and forcing shops to close.

Because Emperor Mingde ordered the execution of nine generations of a family, the Imperial Guards captured the person, confirmed their identity, and then executed them on the spot.

Cries and screams could be heard.

But no matter how chaotic things were outside, no one dared to stop their carriage.

"That's enough!" Nangong Wu packed up the things and took off her gloves.

The leader thought Nangong Wu wasn't talking to him, so he remained seated.

Bei Chenyan kicked him in the butt. "The princess said it's okay, didn't you hear me? Get out of here!"

The leader was quite surprised to see that he felt no pain from the wound. "Queen, what medicine did you use? I don't feel any pain at all."

"You talk too much; you'll die soon." Bei Chenyan looked at him coldly.

The leader shrank back, no longer daring to speak.

"What's your name? How many of you are there? Why are the martial arts skills of the people over there so strong?" Nangong Wu carefully examined the man.

He was tall, over 1.9 meters, with deep-set, sculpted features, wheat-colored skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. His appearance was very similar to that of a Middle Eastern person from my previous life.

"My name is Adeline, I'm twenty-five years old. Our strength isn't innate; it's because we take a special drug that grants us tremendous power," Adeline answered her softly.

"Special medication?"

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan exchanged a glance, both feeling surprised.

"What kind of medicine is so good?" Bei Chenyan asked.

"This medicine is both good and bad. Once you take it, you'll die young, at most not past forty," Adeline said somberly.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan immediately lost interest.

"Knowing you won't live past forty, why do you still go and eat it?" Nangong Wu didn't understand. "You're already twenty-five this year. No matter how much wealth you work hard to earn, you only have a dozen or so years left to live. Is it worth it?"

"We come out here so that our families can live well. Even if it's not worth it, we still have to eat," Adeline said.

"Oh? Tell me, what's wrong with the people over there? Are they having a hard time? Why would you take such short-lived medicine to come here and do evil?" Nangong Wu was very puzzled.

"Our northern region is very far from here. The road is all desert. It took us a whole year to get here to your prosperous land. If we hadn't taken that medicine, we wouldn't have been able to get through that desert at all."

Our area is mostly desert, with very little land suitable for growing crops. Water is scarce, the soil is infertile, and resources are limited; even drinking water is difficult. In search of a better habitat, many people have ventured out to find a way to survive.

But most of those who came out died, either buried by the sandstorm or dying of thirst because they couldn't find water. Those who survived were lucky enough to return; no one could actually cross that sea of ​​sand.

Later, someone used a secret method to develop a drug that could make people stronger. Finally, someone left that desert. Two or three years later, they brought back a lot of supplies, and their family's life improved.

Since then, people have continued to come forward, and I was one of them. Only with great strength can one withstand sandstorms and find water sources more quickly.

At this point, Adeline kowtowed to them again, saying, "I know I am deeply sinful, and I am willing to serve you for the rest of my fifteen years to atone for my sins."

"That's all? I thought you had some special skills, but it seems that besides having some drugs that shorten people's lives, you're just a piece of trash that I can't even beat."

Bei Chenyan looked at Nangong Wu, "This person has done many evil deeds, let's kill him!"

"No, that's not it." Adeline panicked upon hearing this and waved his hand at him. "I can't beat you because I'm injured, and I still have value; I know of a place where treasure is hidden."

"Really?" Nangong Wu's eyes lit up.

"It's true, but finding those treasures will be a bit difficult. However, with the Queen's abilities, I think you should be able to do it." Adeline thought of the weapons she used, which should allow her to obtain those treasures.

"I'll spare your life for now. If you can find those treasures, I'll release you and give you some wealth to take back to your hometown."

"Also, do you still have that kind of medicine that makes people stronger?" Nangong Wu asked about the medicine again.

"No." Adeline shook his head. "That medicine is very expensive. My family spent all our savings just to buy one pill."

If you want one too, I can contact our people and have them buy one from over there, but it will take several years.

"Okay." Nangong Wu was somewhat disappointed. She took out a syringe. "I want to take some of your blood."

The reason for taking his blood was to test it to see what drug components were present in it that could make a person so strong.
