Upon hearing that he had such extensive wounds on his body, Ye Jinyan frowned and said, "These wounds are poisonous and inflamed. To me, these wounds don't look like they were caused by being whipped or cut; they look like they were crawled on by insects."
Zhu Yuanlong quickly looked at Ye Jinyan and said in surprise, "Amazing! You could tell what hurt me just from this small wound. I was crawled over by a few strange black insects, and that's how I ended up like this."
Many people in this base have been infected, and quite a few have already died.
Ye Jinyan: "It's not cold here, take off your coat and your trousers too."
Although Zhu Yuanlong didn't understand, he still did as instructed.
After he took off all his thick coat, Ye Jinyan put his hand on his wrist: "Don't move around, let me see if I can get rid of the toxins in your body."
As he spoke, he channeled his healing power into Zhu Yuanlong's body. Suddenly, Zhu Yuanlong let out a muffled groan, wincing in pain: "Damn, that's fucking amazing!"
Ye Yanling said from the side, "My third brother used to be a surgeon, and now he's a superhuman, you know what I mean."
After a flash of surprise in Zhu Yuanlong's eyes, he suddenly stood up and let his hand hang down, drops of black, foul-smelling blood dripping from the wound on his wrist.
Holy crap!
Zhu Yuanlong felt that liquid was flowing out of the wounds on his body, which was very itchy and swollen.
Ye Jinyan: "Sit down and don't move around."
Zhu Yuanlong quickly sat down, looking at Ye Jinyan with admiration, and said to Ye Yanling, "Brothers, you are my saviors. It seems I really have a chance to survive."
Unable to bear the stench, Ye Yanling pulled out two tissues and stuffed them into her nose, asking, "Didn't you ever think that the reason there are so many bugs in your base is related to the hygiene here?"
"This place is so filthy and messy, doesn't anyone clean it up? If it were warmer, this place would be a paradise for bugs."
Zhu Yuanlong gestured to Ye Yanling to draw two cards to cover his debts, and said, "We've argued about this many times, but there's nothing we can do. People of all races live here."
Every race has different habits. Some races like to urinate and defecate anywhere and litter indiscriminately. We've tried to manage it and talked to them, but it's useless; they can't change.
"If I had a way to leave, I would have run away long ago. This is no place for humans; it's dirtier than an animal's sanitation."
After taking a breath, she said to Ye Jinyan, "The wound is starting to hurt, and I feel like more and more fluid is coming out."
Ye Yanling took an apple out of her pocket and handed it to him: "Eat this."
"Holy crap, you even have Apple products? You guys are living the high life."
Zhu Yuanlong took it and took a bite, then his eyes widened: "This is good stuff!"
Ye Yanling gestured for him to shut up: "Eat quietly, stop talking so much nonsense."
Although there were no customers, the shop owner and the child inside were staring longingly at the food.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Yuanlong's face was getting paler and paler, he wouldn't have given him an apple here to replenish his energy.
Zhu Yuanlong ate the apple core clean. "It's so delicious! I haven't had fruit in ages. Brothers, why didn't you come sooner? You have no idea how miserable I've been lately."
After eating an apple, a warm current rose through my body and flowed to my limbs, greatly reducing the discomfort in my body.
This change made Zhu Yuanlong speechless. Instead, he stared intently at Ye Yanling. Ye Yanling nodded slightly to him, and Zhu Yuanlong's vision suddenly blurred.
He suppressed the urge to cry and said, "The day after my grandmother passed away, before she could even get out of bed, an earthquake struck, and my mother and several of my uncles were buried on the spot."
My dad and I were in the yard when we escaped. We arrived here four days after the apocalypse. I suspect my survival is entirely due to the protection of my ancestors; otherwise, why was I the one who survived among so many bizarre creatures we encountered along the way?
Ye Yanling didn't speak. He knew that Zhu Yuanlong needed to confide in someone, and he would just be a listener.
Zhu Yuanlong lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "My dad was dismembered by the strange monkeys, right in front of me... I could only watch helplessly as those things ate my dad, and there was nothing I could do."
Do you know how desperate I was? I hated natural disasters, I hated the strange monkeys, and I hated my own powerlessness. If I hadn't raced cars and had gone to the Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu, could I have saved my dad?
Ye Yanling watched him silently, and then heard him lower his head and cry: "I hate it. Sometimes I think, why don't I die? Why is life so painful?"
But I dare not die. Before my father died, he shouted to me, "Son, live well for us, no matter how hard it is, you must live on."
He kept repeating those words to himself, over and over again. Whenever I felt down, the image of him saying those words before he died would flash through my mind.
Ye Jinyan noticed that his blood was flowing faster because he was too emotional. He said coldly, "I know you are very sad, but you must calm down now."
Zhu Yuanlong rubbed his eyes and sniffed, but the more he sniffed, the more snot flowed down his nose.
Ye Yanling handed him a tissue: "Then listen to your uncle and try your best to survive. Tell me, has anything unusual happened here?"
Zhu Yuanlong thought for a moment and said, "I haven't awakened any special abilities, so I can only drift through life in the base. There are some things I do know."
But I advise you not to interfere. After all, this is on the border, too far from where you are. Your reach isn't that far."
Ye Jinyan said calmly, "So why are those patients kept at the base?"
"because..."
Zhu Yuanlong looked at the boss's family and saw that they were all behind him. He lowered his voice and said, "You might not be able to handle the truth. Are you sure you want to know?"
