Chapter 68

Lina's heart tightened.

Are you in such a hurry?

Lina was still hesitating at the entrance of the cave. Lu Shiyu had no idea what she was hesitating about and directly pulled her in.

"Why are you hesitating? There are no deformed creatures here."

Lina was in tears. There were people who were scarier than deformed creatures!

Out of nervousness and fear, Lina lowered her head and closed her eyes, thinking that out of sight, out of mind, and tried to escape reality in this way.

"Is your ability still usable? Heal him first. If you can't, I'll still make you suffer."

What?

Lina was not sure if she had heard it wrong. She quietly opened her eyes a little. Her eyes were a little uncomfortable from the bright outside to the dim cave. After a few seconds, the things in front of her became clear.

Then she saw the bastard who had shot her not long ago lying half-dead on the ground. There was no one else in the cave except the three of them. There were two iron pots cooking something nearby, steam slowly coming out of them.

Lina had never thought of seeing such a scene. She was slightly stunned, as if she could not understand the situation before her.

Lu Shiyu tilted his head and looked at the dazed Lina, and deliberately coughed a few times. Only then did Lina come back to her senses, with a complicated expression.

"My superpowers are still usable, but you have to let go of me."

Lina twisted her arm reluctantly. The healing ability requires concentrating the energy on one part and then transferring it to other people to complete the treatment. The most efficient way is of course to use hands.

Lu Shiyu was not worried that Lina would do nothing, so he only let go of one of her hands. Even if she wanted to do something with only one hand, it would be inconvenient, and Lu Shiyu could still control her at any time.

Lina moved her arms slightly and slowly moved to Chen Yunliang's side. Her body was full of resistance, but her life was threatened at the moment, so she had to do it even if she didn't want to.

She had very little supernatural power left in her body, and if she continued to use it, her life might be in danger. But if she didn't do it, the man in front of her could send her to heaven right now.

Damn it! Lina felt bitter in her heart. The moment she saw Chen Yunliang, she thought of the crossbow in Lu Shiyu's hand. It was obviously the one Chen Yunliang used when he attacked her.

Now Lu Shiyu is still taking care of the sick Chen Yunliang, which makes Lina more convinced that those exploration teams are in the same group as Tang Zeyu and his team, and those exploration teams that fell from the sky are the reinforcements for Tang Zeyu and his team!

Originally thought to be just an ordinary mercenary mission, who would have thought it would be like poking the nest of the exploration team? When Lina thought about the fact that they had to face the siege of so many exploration teams, she felt a surge of despair in her heart.

How can we play like this! We are being crushed by the human wave tactics!

However, Lina secretly glanced at Lu Shiyu. Judging from Lu Shiyu's attitude, it seemed that the reinforcement exploration team was not completely uncommunicative. If she behaved well, could she still get a lighter sentence? After all, she did have a rare healing ability, so there was still a chance for her to reform.

Lu Shiyu held a crossbow and would check to see if there was enough firewood in the fire. She had no idea about the various calculations and schemes in Lina's mind. If she knew what Lina was thinking now, she would probably be in tears.

As the supernatural power was continuously transferred into Chen Yunliang's body, Lina felt her head becoming groggy, as if she had not slept for three days. Her head felt heavy and painful, and she even felt nauseous. Sweat broke out on her forehead.

I've overdrawn my abilities and feel like vomiting...

Lina leaned against the stone wall, her body as limp as a boneless chicken foot. She had no strength in her body, her face was pale and even her lips had lost their color. She felt like she would die at any moment.

Seeing her miserable state, Lu Shiyu didn't have the heart to continue to let her treat him. It would be troublesome if she really died here.

Lu Shiyu squatted down and put his hand on Chen Yunliang's forehead. He felt relieved when he felt that his fever had begun to subside.

Although it is not clear whether it is because of the medicine she fed him or because of the little healing ability that Lina finally squeezed out, it is a good thing that he is getting better.

When I looked up, I saw that the number of sleeping people had increased from one to two.

Lu Shiyu yawned and leaned against the stone wall beside the door to rest, looking outside the cave from time to time, alert to anything coming.

Lina felt like she had a very long and tiring dream. She seemed to be running and running all the time, but she couldn't see clearly what she was being chased by. Suddenly, she felt something tripped her feet and she fell to the ground, and the thing behind her had caught up with her.

Before being swallowed by an unknown fear, Lina was awakened from the nightmare. After waking up, she remembered nothing. She only felt that her bones were broken and her muscles were torn. Even the slightest movement was...

Oh, she can't move now.

When Lina saw the hemp ropes tied around her, she remembered her current situation.

Just woke up from one nightmare and found myself in another nightmare.

What's even more tragic is that she was hungry. Lina's stomach made a rumbling sound. She was very ignorant and didn't even consider the current situation.

"woke up?"

Lina was startled by the sudden noise and looked up to see that the other two were actually preparing to eat.

Chen Yunliang, who had just woken up, still had a wet towel covering his head and his face was still a little red. He was half awake, holding a bowl of braised pork rice and eating it in small mouthfuls with a spoon.

Lina got goose bumps when she saw the inexplicable scene in front of her.

Are they eating???

Who cooked this? Why would someone cook in a place like this? Why did they suddenly start eating like nothing happened?

Lina felt at this moment as if she saw someone camping, barbecuing, and opening champagne on the top of a snowy mountain. Her eyes were full of incomprehension and confusion.

Coo coo

Lina's stomach growled again.

Lina curled herself up into a ball, feeling deeply embarrassed, but she couldn't help swallowing when she smelled the fragrance coming towards her.

Although it was weird to cook here, she also wanted to eat meat...

Smells so good...

I had been on a helicopter for a whole day just to get here from the base as quickly as possible. I only ate some compressed biscuits on the helicopter, thinking I could have a good meal when I got back. Who would have thought I couldn't go back, and I didn't even have a full stomach. I didn't even know where my dry food went.

Coupled with the excessive use of her supernatural powers and the exhaustion of her physical strength, Lina felt like she was about to faint from hunger as soon as she woke up, and she even had hallucinations.

A bowl of steaming hot braised pork rice.

Looks delicious...

"Why are you standing there? Aren't you hungry?" Lu Shiyu's eyes swept over the rope, and then he remembered that the other person's hands were tied up again by her after he fell asleep.

"Oh, that's right. You can't move your hands. Wait a minute, I'll untie one of your hands. I'll tie it back after dinner. Don't move."

Lina stared blankly at Lu Shiyu as he untied the rope on her right hand and stuffed a spoon into her hand.

Lina held the spoon, seeming to find it hard to understand.

If she had been untied before, it could be said that she was doing so to heal her teammates, but why was she untied now? Was it so that she could eat?

If it was Lina who caught Lu Shiyu, she would definitely not let him go. Who knows if he had any tricks up his sleeve or if he would do anything else.

But Lu Shiyu just let go of her hand casually, as if he was not worried about what she might do.

I couldn't understand... Was she so strong that she didn't need to worry about what she did?

"Why don't you eat? Wasn't your stomach rumbling just now?" Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Shiyu pretended to take the bowl and said, "If you don't want to eat, I'll put it away."

“I’ll eat it!”

Lina spoke faster than her brain, and she blurted out words without thinking. After she finished speaking, she was more surprised than anyone else.

"Okay, then eat it while it's hot."

Let’s talk. Lu Shiyu put the bowl on the ground in front of Lina. Lina put the bowl on her thighs. The braised meat that had been stewed in the pot for a long time was still very hot. The temperature passed through the bowl and slightly burned her legs.

Lina took the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of braised pork rice with a little hesitation, blew on it, and put it into her mouth.

As soon as you put it in your mouth, the salty and fresh sauce with its oily gelatinous texture and rich meaty aroma dominates your taste buds. After chewing and savoring it, a warm sweetness begins to emerge. The crystal-clear fat of the fat melts on the tip of your tongue and melts away with just one sip. The lean meat fibers turn into strands of meat without any dryness or getting stuck in your throat. You can swallow it smoothly without chewing too much and it won't cause any discomfort that affects the experience.

The sticky marinade perfectly adheres to the fat and lean meat strips and the plump rice grains. The rice that has absorbed the sauce perfectly balances the heaviness. After swallowing it, there is a faint aftertaste, and the taste of spices lingers for a long time.

Diced onions and diced mushrooms are mixed into the rice along with the sauce. The soft and glutinous rice grains are interspersed with crispy diced onions and chewy diced mushrooms, giving the ordinary rice more possibilities in taste.

The sticky braised pork rice warmed her stomach and soothed her heart. Lina was skeptical at first, but after taking a few bites, she threw away the last bit of doubt and began to immerse herself in the deliciousness of the food.

Nothing is more healing than a hot meal when you are hungry. Lina ate without stopping from the beginning to the end. Fortunately, Lu Shiyu cooked the meat long enough to make it melt in the mouth.

At the end of the meal, all the braised meat and rice in the bowl were finished. Lina scraped off the last grain of rice and gnawed on the spoon as if she was still unsatisfied.

Because I ate too fast, I even started burping.

Chen Yunliang, who was still eating slowly at the side, withdrew his gaze, recovered a little, and began to use his supernatural power on himself. After a while, the fever was completely gone.

It was indeed troublesome. When he was first bitten by the deformed creature, the bacteria could not cause any harm to him. But precisely because they did not harm him, his supernatural powers could not clear them out, so they had to remain in his body, which resulted in a fever.

Chen Yunliang had long anticipated that Lu Shiyu would search his bag for medicine for him, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, he really didn't expect that Lu Shiyu would actually kidnap an enemy healer when he was not sober!

Now Chen Yunliang looked at the road with a strange look in his eyes.

It feels like a two-month-old, newly weaned cat at home suddenly catches a mouse that is bigger than itself. Although you don't know how it did it, you still have to give it the praise it deserves.

"Well done," Chen Yunliang looked at Lu Shiyu and said solemnly, "Whether it was treating my fever or capturing the healer of the mercenary team, you did a great job."

Lina, who was suddenly called out, glared at him secretly and bit the spoon angrily.

Lu Shiyu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and scratched his head shyly: "No way... hehe..."

"Don't be modest, you've done a really good job," Chen Yunliang said, looking at Lina with a smile. "Now that their therapist is in our hands, things will be much easier."

Lina: “…”

This guy is really annoying!!!
