Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Chapter 143 (Supplement 1...
Luo Shizhen looked up at the torn sky. He was panting heavily and some sweat appeared on his forehead, but there was still a slight excitement in his eyes.
The strange realm is arguably the most difficult of all strange events to deal with.
Not only is the radiation dangerous over a wide area, it is also difficult for outsiders to enter, let alone break into it.
When Luo Shizhen and the others were trapped before, they mobilized a large number of high-level guardians just to break through that area. It took a lot of effort to barely open a small hole.
And now, Luo Shizhen used his Qi body to attack like drilling a screw, and actually managed to drill open a strange area.
Da Huang also poked his head out and looked up at the sky, his green jelly-like face showing the same joy.
Its IQ is not very high, just like a few-year-old child, but it can be seen from following the team every day and being influenced by them, which is something worth being happy about.
However, Da Huang also keenly realized that Luo Shi was really using too much force, and touched his neck with some concern.
"Chijigugu..."
"I'm fine, I just overused my Qi."
Logically speaking, the guardian's Qi is the source of everything. Luo Shizhen has almost exhausted his Qi. Now, let alone standing, even sitting is probably difficult for him.
But he managed to stand steadily thanks to his good physical fitness, but his face was a little pale.
It wasn't until he started walking that he swayed a little.
Sui An had been paying attention to his condition. Seeing that he was walking unsteadily, he naturally stepped forward to support him.
He frowned slightly, with some worry in his eyes, but he didn't say anything like Luo Shizhen was too risky.
This is what Luo Shizhen wants to do.
He knew very well that Luo Shizhen had spent countless nights in his room writing and drawing, planning his "big plan", how to break through the domain, and where to start.
Even though this twenty-two-year-old young man has been an official guardian for a year, he still has the stubbornness of a student.
Even Lin Qi said that it was no wonder that when Luo Shizhen was praised for his strength, he always proudly quoted his fifth uncle's words that he was like a cow.
Luo Shizhen really is like a cow.
It is strong, well-built, and docile. Its bright black eyes always look at people. It has a very good temper and always concentrates on eating its own grass. However, if someone really provokes it, it will lower its head and use its horns to butt the person.
All Sui An could do was support him.
He always had trust in Luo Shizhen, as if whatever Luo Shizhen wanted to do, he would be able to accomplish it.
Lynch and others did not have such trust, so when they saw that the domain was really broken, they were surprised.
Lin Qi even yelled, "It actually broke through! Shi Zhen! You're amazing! This achievement should be written in the history books, praising you!"
Since he no longer served as an instructor, Lynch's attitude towards Luo Shizhen has become much more natural.
When Luo Shizhen completely joined Silver Cocoon, he stopped pretending and became a completely different person from the cold-blooded instructor before.
But the strange thing is that Luo Shizhen didn't even express any doubts. He even accepted the current Lynch naturally, as if Lynch had never changed.
Being praised, Luo Shizhen couldn't help but smile.
He leaned on Sui An's arm for support, but the weakness in his body could not offset the happiness in his eyes.
“There will be a lot of bonuses this time, right?”
Luo Shizhen looked at Sui An expectantly.
Sui An immediately answered him: "Yes, and more than you can imagine."
Luo Shi was really happy even more.
He nodded Da Huang's little head, his eyes full of tenderness: "Da Huang, you can have a big meal again."
Although Dahuang may not understand other words, no one understands the word "eat" better than him.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
It jumped happily on Luo Shizhen's shoulders, like a mutated electric jelly.
Ming Zhian came over and said, "Rewards are important, but after you leave, you should go to the medical room for a checkup. You've used up so much Qi this time, so you need to recuperate well."
The originally happy rhubarb became visibly wilted.
It stopped jumping and chirping, and lay on Luo Shizhen's shoulder, its almost invisible tentacles tightly hugging his neck, cooing softly.
Lin Qi poked Da Huang with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I'm not asking you to see a doctor."
Yi Qi, who was almost like a half robot, remained silent. Although he was usually not talkative, he actually spoke up to defend Da Huang.
"Da Huang doesn't like Dr. Hong."
Dahuang immediately nodded repeatedly as if he had found a soulmate. No one knew how he could do this since he had no neck at all.
In order to show his affirmation of Yi Qi, he even jumped from Luo Shizhen to Yi Qi, and then stretched his small body into a flamboyant manner, as if he was showing off something.
The more Luo Shizhen looked, the more familiar he looked.
As he watched, he couldn't help but say, "Da Huang, it seems like the first time we met, you gestured to me like this."
Da Huang, who was gesturing immersively: "..."
It feels a little guilty.
After all, before the previous owner died, it said all kinds of bad things about Luo Shizhen.
But no one understands.
At that time, Dahuang was very anxious, fearing that the previous owner had been poisoned by Luo Shi. Every time the two of them had tutoring, Dahuang would quietly hide in a dark corner, watching them with his big eyes open until he fell asleep.
Who could have known that Luo Shizhen would treat it so well after raising it, even better than the previous owner, and he wanted to take on eighteen part-time jobs to support it.
Now, it even sleeps in a golden nest.
"Chijigugu..."
Dahuang's gestures gradually weakened, and he jumped back onto Luo Shizhen's shoulder, rubbing his neck guiltily and flatteringly.
Rong Su frowned, "Spiritual spirits are always very sharp. Is there something wrong with Doctor Hong?"
Sui An still supported Luo Shizhen, his hand gently resting on the young man's shoulder:
"I've checked him out, and the information is very clear. I've also checked the Qi in his body, and it's consistent with a third-level awakener. There's some slight contamination, but it's not serious."
After Da Huang immediately expressed his dislike for Dr. Hong, Sui An checked on Dr. Hong's condition that same day.
Overseas Chinese, who originally lived abroad, returned to Xia Country last year after riots broke out abroad.
This experience can be said to be commonplace. Currently, Xia State is the country that has made the greatest efforts to control strange invasions.
Since the past two years, people living abroad have been returning to China one after another, including awakened people, ordinary people, and even some foreigners who have tried every means to settle down in Xia Country.
Dr. Hong was an excellent doctor before the strange outbreak. After the strange outbreak, his abilities were also related to treatment, but he could only treat the awakened.
After returning to Xia Country, he first lived at his maternal grandfather's house for half a month, then submitted his resume locally and was accepted by Yong Zhou. Only then was he transferred to Yin Jian because of his rare ability to heal energy.
"It's clean, there's nothing wrong with it."
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes: "It's too clean, but it feels a little wrong."
Sui An nodded. He thought so too, but no matter how he checked, there was no problem with Dr. Hong's identity background, including Dr. Hong himself.
"Are they sent from another country?"
It was rare for Rong Su to join in the conversation. Since Luo Shizhen came, he had been talking much more frequently, especially on topics related to Luo Shizhen. He would take the initiative to participate in the discussion without being asked.
Lin Qi: "It's possible. There are many countries that want to get Shi Zhen now."
As he spoke, he rubbed Luo Shizhen's head, who was listening attentively to their analysis: "Our Shizhen is now a rare treasure, and everyone is scrambling to get it."
Luo Shizhen smiled at him, looking a little silly like before.
But he still asked seriously, "Then why don't I go see Dr. Hong? What if he really is a spy sent by another country?"
"It's okay, you still need to check the insurance."
Sui An pushed Lin Qi's hand away and said, "We'll go with you. Even if Dr. Hong's identity is questionable, he wouldn't do it in front of so many people."
After discussing it, Sui An put on his gloves again and smiled at the team members:
"Okay, let's get started and try to finish it before dark."
"Yes, Captain!"
Luo Shizhen answered louder than anyone else. Even though he had joined Silver Cocoon for a year, he still felt full of passion every time he was given a mission.
Hehe, he is now working for the government.
It’s just like being a policeman. Every time I carry out a mission, I feel happy that I am a public servant.
The strange domain has been broken, but the strangeness generated inside and the strangeness that created the domain are about to face this team of public servants.
Luo Shizhen had recovered some of his strength. Although Sui An asked him not to stay too far away from him because he had not fully recovered, he still acted skillfully. Killing the monsters was like cutting vegetables. From time to time, he picked out some plants that he thought tasted good, preserved the roots, and put them in the bag he carried with him, waiting to complete the task and plant them after returning home.
He thought he was just completing an ordinary mission, but in the eyes of the survivors, it was different.
Watching these guardians killing people everywhere and the monsters who once acted like demons and were arrogant towards them dying one by one, the survivors gathered together with visibly excited expressions on their faces.
"That's amazing, is this the guardian?"
"My cousin is the Guardian, and he's not this powerful. This team must be very strong."
"Silver Cocoon... I've never heard of that name. Is it a hidden team? The kind that only big bosses would hide."
The awakened ones have appeared in front of people for such a long time that even ordinary people have some understanding of the awakened ones.
People instinctively believe that a team with such strong combat effectiveness is composed of all attack-type members.
Until the Silver Cocoon members discovered a severely contaminated survivor.
Now the Xia people carry purification drugs wherever they go. They would not throw away the purification drugs even if they lost their own heads. Therefore, as soon as the survivors entered the strange area, they immediately started taking the drugs, and there were almost no signs of contamination on their bodies.
This survivor might be unlucky as he lost the purification potion during the battle with the weird.
When Yi Qi found him, he was already half human and half plant. Half of his body was human flesh and blood, and the other half was covered with various intertwined roots that were still sucking his blood.
If Yi Qi had not discovered it early and quickly cut off most of the extended roots, he would have been sucked dry by himself in half an hour.
"Give it to me."
This scene looks a bit scary, but Luo Shizhen is used to it.
During this year, he took countless part-time jobs to ensure food for Dahuang, basically clearing pollution and bringing back the alienated people.
He had seen even the most horrific scenes.
Moreover, Luo Shizhen seemed to be born immune to these images. Even Rong Su would frown slightly when seeing the miserable conditions of some mutants, but he was not affected at all.
Taking the Polluter, Luo Shizhen placed his hand on the other's forehead, and the white mist slipped in skillfully and swallowed it.
The person who was obviously in a state of alienation kept twitching, and the roots in his body actually returned to normal little by little, and finally turned into a human appearance.
It was just so thin that it looked like a zombie, and it was the kind that was dried out.
"A lot of blood has been sucked out of his body. I can't do anything about it. He has to go to the hospital himself."
Luo Shizhen supported the injured person as if he was supporting a piece of paper, very cautiously, fearing that if he was not careful, he would squeeze the person with too much force.
Yi Qi sensed his nervousness, silently reached out his hand and took the person over.
Luo Shizhen smiled at him: "Thank you."
Yi Qi pursed his lips slightly and gave a slightly stiff smile in response. His voice was a little stiff, but very serious:
"You're welcome."
He would be like this sometimes, just like a machine stuck. Luo Shizhen was used to it. He moved his arms and looked down at his stomach.
Just as I was thinking about whether to find some snacks, a white radish that exuded a strong smell of pollution suddenly appeared in front of me.
Looking up, Ming Zhian was looking at him with a smile: "Are you hungry? Eat something first."
The smile on Luo Shizhen's face grew even wider.
He was happy to have food to eat and was cared for by his teammates, which also made him happy.
"Uh-huh."
He agreed, took a bite of the radish, and felt satisfied as the pollution contained in it entered his body and was swallowed by the white mist.
On this side, their teammates love each other, but on the other side, the rescued survivors are collectively in a state of shock.
"Am I seeing correctly? That's a purification? It's a purification, right?"
"It's purification. Only purification can achieve this effect. That guardian is actually a purifier?!"
Seeing that he swung the sledgehammer more fiercely than anyone else, almost everyone present thought that he was a power-type offensive awakener.
But he was actually the legendary Purifier, known for his overthinking, sensitive, and fragile nature?!
"Wait, someone who can appear on the front lines and be purified so quickly, without being affected..."
"It's the seventh-level purifier!"
"It must be that seventh-level purifier who created the purification potion! He was the one who saved us!"
Luo Shizhen carefully finished eating the whole radish.
He has always been very serious about food. No matter whether it is steamed buns or strange food, he eats it very reverently and seriously.
Sometimes, Sui An even wondered whether Luo Shizhen had suffered from hunger for a long time when he was a child.
Otherwise, how could he develop such a habit? Every time he eats, it seems as if every bite of food is hard-earned and worth cherishing.
But he asked Chu Xiao, and learned that Luo Shizhen's family was poor when he was a child, but Grandma Luo never let him go hungry, and most of the money she earned went to fill his stomach.
After entering puberty, Luo Shizhen will feel hungry easily, but he will not be so hungry that he will not be able to eat enough.
He would always keep some food like bananas with him, so he could eat them immediately when he was hungry.
Logically speaking, if Luo Shi was really hungry, 90% of his hunger would be satisfied quickly, and even the remaining 10% would not take too long.
But every time Sui An saw him eating with care, he would imagine that Luo Shizhen had been starving for a long time and had suffered a lot.
He once carried out a mission to rescue a researcher who was participating in research on the front line.
The researcher was lucky enough not to be eaten by the monster.
But unfortunately, in his attempt to escape the weirdness, he fell into a twenty-meter deep pit.
The deep pit was probably once the lair of a certain monster, but for some unknown reason, the monster never returned. However, the aura it left behind frightened other small monsters, so researchers don't have to worry about being eaten if they stay in the pit.
But the problem is, there is no food or signal in the giant pit, and it is even somewhat hidden. The search and rescue team will be affected by the strange aura left here and will unconsciously bypass it.
The researcher was trapped for thirteen days.
It wasn't until Sui An received the mission and used his mental power to search the entire mountain that he rescued him.
After he came out, Sui An had seen him in the Yongzhou Canteen. The expression on this researcher's face while eating was somewhat similar to Luo Shizhen's when he was eating.
The difference is that the researcher's expression only makes people feel that he is nervous, while Luo Shizhen makes people want to feed him more food.
Maybe even Luo Shizhen himself didn't notice that his body was tenser than usual when he was eating. Although his eyes were on the food most of the time, he would look up from time to time, as if... he was worried that his food would be taken away.
Were you bullied by kids your age when you were a child?
But according to Sui An's investigation, Luo Shizhen was indeed isolated for a period of time when he was a child, but he didn't seem to care too much. If others didn't play with him, he would just play by himself quietly.
Moreover, Luo Shizhen has good luck with teachers. From elementary school to high school, almost every teacher is competent. It cannot be said that they do a great job, but they will definitely not tolerate students in the class being bullied.
Luo Shizhen also has Chu Xiao by his side, a wolf-like character who will not sit idly by and watch him being bullied.
So, what's going on?
This carefree, friendly child who was adopted since infancy seemed to have experienced long-term hunger and unconsciously developed the habit of guarding food.
Sui An quietly watched Luo Shizhen finish the radish bit by bit. The young man looked up contentedly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Wipe your mouth."
Sui An handed him a tissue, and Luo Shizhen naturally took it and wiped his mouth.
"Drink some water."
Sui An handed over another water bottle filled with sugar water. Luo Shizhen was very strong and needed more sugar. Every time he completed a task, he would drink some sugar water to replenish his energy.
Luo Shizhen took it and gulped down the whole pot like a cow.
When he drinks water, he also has the habit of guarding his food. His mouth is still gurgling, but his eyes are slightly open. After drinking a few sips, he will look around.
When he saw that it was Sui An beside him, he lowered his eyes with relief and continued to drink attentively.
Sui An felt like he was really raising a calf, taking him to bask in the sun, drink water, and eat grass.
Moreover, he knew very well that he was trusted by Luo Shizhen.
With him around, Luo Shizhen would feel more relaxed when eating and drinking.
So Sui An, who did not eat with his teammates most of the time, gradually changed his habit over the past year.
Including Yi Qi, who didn't like to eat human food, and Rong Su, who liked to hide in the house, they all gradually changed their habits.
During this year, the entire Silver Cocoon team was like a family, eating together, sleeping together, and completing tasks together.
Occasionally, Sui An would organize dinner outings.
Before they knew it, the entire silver cocoon looked a bit like an ordinary company before the arrival of the strangeness.
Except for these colleagues in the company who can each crush the weirdness.
Luo Shi really didn't know what Sui An was thinking. He never thought much when he was eating or drinking.
Even when I was thinking, I was thinking about what to eat in the evening.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sui An said, "How about roast lamb tonight?"
Luo Shizhen, who had already taken the second pot of water from him, nodded. He didn't even think about why Sui An could say whatever he thought of.
In his eyes, Sui An has always been so powerful.
By the time Luo Shizhen had finished eating and drinking, it was sunset.
He walked briskly in the team, reviewing with his teammates how today's mission was carried out, calculating how much bonus they could get, and how much gold these bonuses could be exchanged for Dahuang to eat.
Dahuang was also very happy to hear this.
During the year, Luo Shizhen developed the habit of keeping accounts, and Dahuang developed the habit of listening to him keep accounts.
Every time the owner starts to settle the bill, it means that Dahuang is about to have a golden feast.
In its little green head, it began to calculate how many gold bars it would eat tonight.
Da Huang's good mood lasted until the Silver Cocoon convoy stopped at the treatment center.
It huddled on Luo Shizhen's shoulder, watching a tall, handsome man come out to greet it with a smile.
"I was saying there was a magpie calling at the door today. So it's you guys who are here. Who wants to check?"
His attitude could be described as gentle and kind, and he smiled equally at everyone. However, when facing Luo Shizhen, his smile was even bigger and looked more genuine.
Luo Shizhen called out politely, "Hello, Doctor Hong, it's me who needs a checkup."
"Then please come in. What's wrong with you? Yong Zhou just sent us a new examination instrument today, which will provide a better experience than before."
Doctor Hong's face was very white, not only fair but also a little pale, with a pair of eyes that curved slightly with a smile. He had a face that was worthy of being a star, and just standing there, he seemed to be radiating brilliance.
It's just that my health is not very good, which slightly reduces the glory.
But as a doctor, he was very competent. He took Luo Shizhen through one examination after another, and talked jokingly while looking at the results.
"It's rare to see a team as close as yours. You even stand aside and watch when your teammates get checked out."
Beside him, the entire Silver Cocoon team was paying close attention to Luo Shizhen's physical condition.
Dahuang also squatted above Sui An's head worriedly. Because of nervousness, his little tentacles couldn't help but grab a few strands of Sui An's hair.
Doctor Hong noticed this scene and greeted Da Huang with a smile:
"Darling is also worried about your master, how cute."
He smiled widely and was very gentle, and seemed to like Dawang very much.
Da Huang subconsciously shrank his body, came down from Sui An's head, and hid in his sleeve, only sticking out his little head to look at Dr. Hong vigilantly.
Doctor Hong's smile remained unchanged, and he sighed somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't know what I have done to offend you. Why do you just refuse to pay attention to me?"
Lin Qi spoke up for Da Huang: "Spirit spirits have always been timid. It's normal for Da Huang to be afraid of strangers. Don't worry about it."
Dr. Hong could only agree, but his gaze still passed over Da Huang. When he turned his back to the crowd, the smile in his eyes faded.
——This annoying thing is getting more and more annoying the more I look at it.
It's an eyesore when standing on my brother's shoulders.
My brother looked at it gently and it was an eyesore when he smiled.
It's an eyesore when my brother talks about rhubarb all the time.
It really makes people want to crush him to death.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the opportunity.
Normally, he couldn't even pretend to like Dahuang in front of his brother, but when Dahuang left his brother, the human named Sui An would keep a close eye on the little thing.
Besides, if I attack this elf, my brother might find out.
Hongruo licked the tip of her teeth maliciously, withdrew her attention from Dahuang, and focused on the report in her hand.
Hong Ruo became Dr. Hong again.
Luo Shizhen came out of the house and looked at the report curiously.
"How's it going? Are the test results good?"
"It's the same result as before. Your body and Qi seem to be stuck in a certain range. This is not a good sign."
Doctor Hong handed over the report: "To some extent, your body and Qi are stuck in a juvenile state."
Luo Shizhen looked down at his chest muscles, which had grown bigger than before, and his arms, which had beautiful lines and hints of strength.
"I'm an adult. Look how strong my muscles are."
Hong Ruo looked at Luo Shizhen with a smile. Only when facing Luo Shizhen did his smile look truly gentle.
"I'm not talking about this underage body, but mainly your Qi body. Its state and development will also affect your psychology."
He stretched out his hand as if to touch Luo Shizhen's arm.
With a rub, Luo Shizhen subconsciously pulled his hand back.
The smile on Hongruo's face froze slightly.
His voice was a little dry: "I just want to check your physical condition."
Luo Shizhen didn't know why he pulled his hand back. Normally, he didn't mind close contact with others.
No matter if it was a teammate or a classmate, as long as they were somewhat familiar with each other, even if the other party came to Luo Shizhen with a pillow to sleep together, as long as the other party did not snore, did not occupy the quilt, and did not affect his study and work, he would gladly accept it.
But when Dr. Hong stretched out his hand, Luo Shizhen instinctively avoided it.
He scratched his head and subconsciously stood next to Sui An: "I'm sorry, Dr. Hong, I'm not used to having my arm touched."
Hong Ruo looked at Luo Shizhen quietly.
She said she was not used to being touched by him, but her arm was naturally pressed very close to Sui An's.
Hong Ruo knew why.
In the past, his brother would be very close to him, sleep among his nine tails, hug his tail to sleep, and stroke his fur.
Until that day, he and others pulled out knives against his brother.
My brother lost that memory, but his body seemed to still remember it.
I still remember that when my brother was growing up, the cub he raised showed its fangs at him, completely keeping him in his cub stage and unable to grow up.
Hongruo's medical knowledge is not fake, and her high-level weird memory is very reproducible. As long as they want, they can easily learn any knowledge.
He learned human medical skills and also learned some human language.
He once strangled his older brother to death during his formative years.
But after doing this, Guiqi, who wanted to ask for his brother's affection, found that his brother, who was no longer growing up, no longer understood what emotion was.
He would never be able to respond, nor could he understand. Even if someone knelt down before him crying, and was willing to take out every bone in his body and offer them to him just for love, he would only look at the other person in confusion and ask what love is.
In human terms, is this called retribution?
The heart feels like it is being strangled by a poisonous snake, and the venom flows through every blood vessel, making it impossible to feel at peace.
But Hong Ruo still smiled, a gentle smile that belonged to Dr. Hong, a smile that Luo Shizhen would like.
"I see."
He said softly, "I'm wrong. It's my professional habit. I have to get started as soon as I'm talking."
The doctor in a white coat looked pale, but sat very steadily:
"Shi Zhen, let's talk about how to make you grow up, shall we?"
