A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 76: Saving a Life


Along the uneven path.

Dirk Carter discovered high heel footprints.

In a rural setting, nobody would wear high heels to work on the farm.

Could it be that the boss has a hobby of "taking care" of the secretary in the wild?

Dirk Carter was still hesitating whether to approach when cries for help came through again.

Even if it were the boss, he can't possibly force the secretary, right?

After a moment's thought, Dirk Carter ran in the direction of the cries, following the high heel footprints.

The sound was coming from within the tea trees.

Dirk Carter didn't think much further, pushed aside the tea trees, and dashed right in. He originally imagined an elderly boss pinning a young, attractive secretary to the ground, doing as he pleased.

But what appeared before him was just one woman.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties.

She had shoulder-length wavy hair.

She wore a white blouse with lace on her upper body and a long black skirt on the lower body, indeed, sporting a pair of high heels, with very thin heels.

Her clothes weren't important.

What mattered was her face.

Dirk Carter had seen his fair share of women.

But this woman's face was the most delicate he'd ever seen.

Large eyes, a tight bridge of the nose, and exquisite lips.

Almost all the most perfect features graced her face, cleverly combined, making her seem like a Fairy.

"Why does she look so familiar?"

Dirk Carter scratched his head.

He felt he'd seen this woman somewhere before, but he couldn't recall specific details.

The woman saw Dirk Carter, like seeing a lifeline.

With a weak voice, she called out: "Help... help me..."

"What's wrong?"

Dirk Carter hurriedly squatted down.

The woman's lips moved, looking difficult to express.

"Did you sprain your ankle and can't stand up?"

Dirk Carter directly touched her ankle, not feeling anything unusual.

"N-no... it's not that... I... I was bitten by a snake..."

Snake?

Dirk Carter's heart skipped a beat.

There are indeed snakes in the tea grove.

And they're venomous.

He hurriedly asked: "Where's the bite?"

"Here..."

She pointed at her skirt.

The skirt was long, almost reaching the ankles, and just pointing made it impossible for Dirk Carter to discern the bite location.

"Exactly where? Speak quickly; if it's a venomous snake, you might not survive."

The woman, upon hearing, showed a look of urgency.

Biting her lips.

She pointed to her thigh, speaking softly: "Here."

"Miss, I must lift your skirt to check if it's a venomous snake; if it truly is, immediate rescue is necessary, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The woman nodded.

Dirk Carter glanced at her.

Seeing no opposition from her.

Gently lifted the skirt.

Straight, strong calves showed no marks.

With the skirt continuously rising.

Her fair thighs were revealed.

As the skirt nearly reached the waistline, Dirk Carter hadn't seen any bite marks, wondering, how could a snake reach so high?

No further.

Any further, her underwear would show.

Dirk Carter also felt a bit presumptuous.

At that moment, the woman moaned softly.

Sitting on the ground, her complexion turned pale.

In this situation.

Dirk Carter couldn't afford to think.

Plunged the skirt to the top.

Truly dangerous.

The bite mark was precisely on the inner thigh, mere inches from the most private area.

He slightly spread the woman's thigh.

Revealing an intricately designed lace panty in front of him.

He'd seen many panties.

Such a novel design, it was his first time encountering it.

However, now wasn't the time for sightseeing; his focus remained on the wound.

"Oval serrated bite mark, it should be a five-step snake."

Dirk Carter's heart dropped as he spoke.

"Five-step snake? Then I'm doomed?"

Upon hearing, the woman began sobbing.

Dirk Carter said: "From the tooth marks, the bite isn't deep, meaning not much venom entered your body; otherwise, you'd be dead by now. But reactions have started; this area has swollen. We need to immediately suck out some venom."

"Then... what should I do?"

The woman's eyes became a bit dazed, the intense pain causing her to convulse.

Dirk Carter gritted his teeth, saying: "Miss, now there's no other choice; I'll help suck out some venom and then take you down the mountain, sorry about this."

After saying this.

Dirk Carter bent down, began sucking the wound.

The venom was sucked out and spat out repeatedly.

During this, his hands occasionally touched the woman's private area, but at this moment, who cares about that?

After repeating over ten times, the swelling decreased considerably.

Then.

Dirk Carter stood straight.

After a thought, he said: "Miss, I need to use your panties."

"What do you want to do?"

She was about to stop Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter's hand already reached her waist, pulling forcefully, taking off the lace panties directly.

The woman attempted to cover herself.

But it was too late; what was meant to be seen was already seen by Dirk Carter.

She thought he was about to take advantage of the situation.

But he didn't.

Dirk Carter directly used the panties as rope, tied them tightly above the bite wound.

Also done to prevent more venom from entering the bloodstream.

"I'll carry you down the mountain!"

After finishing everything.

Dirk Carter stood up.

Hoisted the woman onto his back, raced down the mountain.

Bear in mind, the mountain path is rugged; even walking alone demands caution, let alone carrying someone.

Despite this.

Dirk Carter gritted his teeth, stumbled down the dirt road, sprinting madly.

Fortunately, they had just reached the road.

Zach Griffin and the driver returned.

Seeing Dirk Carter and the woman, they rushed to help; only then did Dirk Carter learn that this woman was the boss for this inspection trip.

To be precise, the boss's daughter.

On the way to Sunglow Town Health Center.

Dirk Carter immediately called the health center, instructing them to prepare serum.Though the local health center's medical facilities were inadequate, they still had serum available due to frequent snake bites.

The driver was also anxious.

He sped furiously all the way.

The road Dirk Carter and Zach Griffin traveled for hours, he arrived in less than twenty minutes.

By the time he stopped the car at the health center's entrance, the woman had already fallen unconscious.

"Quick, save her, quick save her!"

Dirk Carter again carried the woman, shouting and sending her into the emergency room.

Until a doctor took over, and he was chased out of the emergency room, collapsing onto the ground as if drained.

"Doomed, doomed, I'm dead for sure when I return…"

The driver was more frantic than Dirk Carter.

Pacing back and forth, muttering like chanting.

"Hey, I said, driver comrade, who exactly is your lady? Why so stressed? At worst, change jobs…"

Dirk Carter asked.
