Gang members are indeed not sharpshooters; even if they hit their targets, it doesn't necessarily result in immediate death.
Some might suffer more before dying, but some injured can still struggle to survive.
The gang member An Jing found was like this. He had been shot through the shoulder blade with a Spiritual Light gun, his wound charred, and had been hit in the helmet with a gunpowder bullet, which knocked him unconscious.
Because of this, he didn't bleed much, and by the time An Jing arrived, he had saved his life.
An Jing dragged him into nearby bushes, treated his wound, gave him some water and stimulant drugs, and the man gradually woke from unconsciousness.
"Sir… sir, are you?"
Since he was a practitioner of Inner Breath, although he had just recovered from unconsciousness, the circulation of his Inner Breath had completely revived him.
The gang member An Jing revived was as young as the other dead he had seen, probably sixteen or seventeen years old.
