Survive

Room 1202, Building 2, Jiayuan Residential Complex.

Just as Old Li and Little Liu held their breath and Fang's mother nervously covered her mouth.

The Book of Ten Thousand Worlds, lying open on the table, suddenly erupted with a brilliant light!

"Watch out!" Little Liu instinctively stepped in front of Fang's mother and Old Li.

Within the light, the air about twenty centimeters above the book began to distort, rippling like water.

Then, an object slowly materialized in the form of particles. It hovered briefly in the faint glow before falling onto the pages with a crisp clang.

It was a strange weapon Old Li had never seen in reality—a roughly fifteen-centimeter-long weapon with a sharp, triangular-pyramidal tip and a circular ring handle at the back. Its entire body was forged from some dull metal, and its edges were stained with traces of dried, blackened... blood!

It was the "Kunai" Fang Tianyi had mentioned! A bloodstained Kunai that had just been transmitted from a battlefield in the Naruto World!

In an instant, the entire room fell deathly silent.

Fang's mother staggered back a step in fright. Little Liu's eyes widened, his mouth hanging slightly open as he completely lost the ability to speak.

Even Old Li, the most experienced and well-informed among them, was utterly shaken.

The muscles in his face stiffened, his pupils contracted from overwhelming shock, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

He had handled countless major cases and seen all manner of strange things, but never had anything appeared before him in such a way—one that transcended the laws of physics and overturned everything he knew!

This Kunai was the strongest proof. Old Li understood perfectly what it meant. Crossing between worlds was really possible! This would overturn the worldview of all humanity!

"It's... real..." Little Liu muttered hoarsely. "He really is... in the Naruto World..."

Old Li suddenly snapped back to his senses. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He no longer had any doubts! Stepping forward, he addressed the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds in an incomparably solemn tone:

"Comrade Fang Tianyi! We have received the evidence! We completely believe you now! Hold on!

"I swear on a police officer's honor that the nation will mobilize its strength immediately! Your highest priority now is to survive! Protect yourself! Wait for further instructions!"

Upon hearing Old Li's promise, Hinata Tianyi's wildly pounding heart gradually began to calm.

Tianyi slowly closed his eyes. Ten seconds later, he spoke as clearly and quickly as possible. He knew that every second was incomparably precious now:

"Officer, my situation is very dangerous. I'm injured and need emergency treatment. At the same time, I'm behind enemy lines and could encounter enemies at any moment.

"I need medical supplies to treat and bandage my wounds, tools to determine direction, and... a map of the Naruto World. Time is very tight!"

He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the faintly glowing rules on the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds. "This book has restrictions. It can only communicate for ten minutes at exactly 10:00 p.m. every day. Right now... there are only 6 minutes and 45 seconds left.

"The size of transmitted items cannot exceed this book's cover and must be kept below 0.2 square meters. Those are the rules!"

After hearing this, Old Li's gaze instantly sharpened. Without the slightest hesitation, he gave orders to everyone in the room:

"Little Liu! You know this anime. Get online immediately and look up a world map of Naruto.

"Draw it as detailed as possible with paper and pen—the mountains, rivers, major villages, especially the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain that he mentioned. Hurry!"

"Little Wang! Go to the twenty-four-hour pharmacy downstairs immediately and buy the most complete First Aid kit available! Hemostatic supplies, bandages, disinfectants—nothing can be missing! Get back within five minutes!"

Then, he looked at Fang's mother, who was both frightened and anxious.

His tone softened slightly. "Ma'am, please search the house right away. See if there's any unopened bottled water, individually packaged filling food like chocolate or biscuits, and the household medicine kit. Gather everything that might be useful!"

"Yes!" Little Liu and Little Wang responded and sprang into action.

Little Liu immediately pulled out his phone and began searching. At the same time, he grabbed an A4 sheet of paper and a pen from the table and started sketching furiously. Little Wang shot out the door like an arrow. Fang's mother wiped away her tears and hurried toward the kitchen and storage room.

Only Old Li and the faintly glowing Book of Ten Thousand Worlds remained in the room.

Facing the book, Old Li said steadily, "Tianyi, hold on! We're preparing everything you need with all our strength! Keep describing your surroundings, especially the moon's approximate position and the details of your injuries!"

Leaning against a tree trunk, Hinata Tianyi listened vigilantly to every rustle in the wind while describing things as thoroughly as he could. "I'm in a forest that stretches as far as I can see. The trees are very tall... The moon is... in that direction. My left shoulder was pierced by a Kunai. I lost a lot of blood, but it seems to have temporarily clotted. It hurts terribly whenever I move... I feel very cold, and my head is dizzy..."

"Very good, Tianyi! That's crucial information. Listen carefully. Your injuries are serious. Based on your description, your left shoulder was pierced, you lost a lot of blood, and now you feel cold and dizzy. Those are likely signs of excessive blood loss and impending shock!

"Check the wound immediately! Press around it and see whether it hurts. Check whether there are any weapon fragments inside.

"Then slowly raise your left hand above your heart. Later, use the gauze we send over to press down hard on the wound and stop the bleeding with pressure!

"Next, treat the wound! We'll send disinfectant over immediately.

"Once you receive it, use povidone-iodine first to clean around the wound. Disinfect in circles from the inside outward. Remember, around the wound—not directly into it! Then cover it with sterile gauze and wrap it with a bandage. The bandage needs to apply some pressure, but it can't be so tight that it affects blood circulation in your arm!"

"Finally, prevent hypothermia! Feeling cold right now is extremely dangerous!

"Try to find a place sheltered from the wind. Curl up to reduce heat loss. Once you receive the chocolate and water we send, slowly eat and drink a little to replenish energy and fluids. That will help you maintain your body temperature and strength!"

Old Li spoke quickly but clearly. Every instruction concerned life and death.

"Repeat the key points I just gave you! Make sure you understand!"

Fighting through his dizziness, Hinata Tianyi said, "I... I understand! First, I raise my arm, then apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Once I get the supplies, I disinfect and bandage the wound... find shelter from the wind, replenish my energy..." He repeated the key points weakly but clearly.

"Very good! Stay conscious!" Only then did Old Li relax slightly.

Time passed second by second, each one as agonizing as torture.

About four minutes later, Little Wang was the first to rush back, carrying a First Aid kit he had just bought from the pharmacy downstairs.

Drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, he reported, "Brother Li, I got it! There are bandages, gauze, povidone-iodine swabs, breathable dressing patches, and a small bottle of purified water inside!"

Almost at the same time, Fang's mother came over carrying supplies as well: two bottles of mineral water, several individually wrapped chocolate wafers, and a fresh roll of bandages and a small bottle of povidone-iodine from the family medicine kit.

Little Liu's forehead was slick with anxious sweat as he relied on his memories and rapid online searches.

At last, he drew a simple but crucial map of the Naruto World on the A4 sheet, marking the approximate locations of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, the Land of Rain, and Konoha, as well as a rough map of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain.

"There isn't much time left! Forty-five seconds!" Old Li growled. He swiftly scanned the supplies they had gathered, his mind racing.

The book's size restriction on transmissions meant they had to make a choice.

"Send the medical supplies and map first!" Old Li decided immediately. "Try the water and a small portion of food last! Put the First Aid kit and the map Little Liu drew on the book first!"

Everyone immediately moved, carefully placing the small package carrying their hope for life onto the pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds.

Watching the items gradually disappear, with seven seconds left on the countdown.

Old Li emphasized one final time, "Tianyi, remember the order: stop the bleeding > disinfect > bandage > replenish energy > find a safe place!"

"Survive!!!"
