Chapter 3: Recovering from a Serious Illness



After running all the way home, Lu Chengchuan opened the system to see how much life he had left.

......

Krypton Life System

Host: Lu Chengchuan

Realm: Bodybuilding

Martial Arts: Changchun Gong [Yellow Rank/1st Level], Eagle Claw Iron Body Gong [Yellow Rank/2nd Level]

Current lifespan: 55 days.

The host's body functions recovered, but the unknown disease was not cured.

......

The three zombies gave him 21 days to live. Minus yesterday, he only has 55 days left to live, which is nearly two months. It's not much time, and he still has to find monsters to kill.

The sudden appearance of the system and the sudden appearance of the monster, Lu Chengchuan couldn't help but associate the two things together.

It was unlikely to be a coincidence; he had never seen a real monster before. There were a lot of stories on online forums, but today was a first.

Lu Chengchuan searched online and suddenly discovered that monsters appeared not only in Anyang City, but also in cities in other provinces.

Many people took photos and posted them online, showing all kinds of monsters, some of which looked like the zombies he had killed.

After he returned home, he also returned home half an hour later.

"Xiaochuan, are you okay? I heard something happened at Xingsheng Plaza and someone died."

Huang Yuyun only realized what had really happened when she returned to the vicinity of her rented house, and hurriedly asked him.

"There are monsters over at Xingsheng Plaza. I just went out and saw them. They look like zombies and they bit several people to death." Lu Chengchuan shook his head and explained to his mother.

The monsters are very similar to the zombies in the movies, but they can survive in the sun, while the zombies in the movies will be injured by the sun and will die if exposed to the sun for too long.

"You went out?! Are you hurt?" Huang Yuyun focused on the fact that her son went out. She came up and asked anxiously if anything happened.

"I'm fine, Mom. I suddenly got better."

Knowing that killing monsters can increase his lifespan, Lu Chengchuan did not hide the fact that he was "well".

Although the root cause of the disease has not been eliminated, as long as he continues to kill monsters and saves enough life to improve his martial arts, his disease will eventually be cured, and then he will be truly alive.

"You're fine?! How is that possible!"

Huang Yuyun seemed to have heard something impossible. Yesterday she was still taking care of her son by the bedside, and today her son told her that he was recovered. Was this to comfort her?

"I'm fine, you see."

Lu Chengchuan walked to the refrigerator, held his hands steady, and lifted the refrigerator with a little effort.

"This..." Huang Yuyun looked at him in shock, as if she saw something incredible.

Ever since he fell ill, he has been getting weaker day by day. Not to mention carrying a refrigerator, he has trouble even carrying a bucket of water. What's going on? How come he suddenly recovered from his illness?

"I had a dream last night that I was being roasted by fire, but when I woke up I found I was healed."

Lu Chengchuan began to make up lies. Since he couldn't talk about the system anyway, he could only tell a small lie.

"I was dreaming, being burned by fire..." Huang Yuyun couldn't accept it for a long time. A disease that had been treated for several years but could not be cured, could just be cured through a dream?

But the fact is, her son lifted the refrigerator in front of her, which is definitely not the strength a person who has been ill for several years should have.

"Okay, I'm cured..."

Tears flowed from Huang Yuyun's eyes. She kept murmuring, looking at her healthy son. Surprise filled her heart. She walked up and grabbed her son's arm.

"Okay, no matter what, as long as I can get better, it's fine..."

As she spoke, Huang Yuyun's voice became choked up, and she could no longer hold back her tears. She began to cry loudly, trying to vent the pressure of the past few years.

Lu Chengchuan went up and hugged his mother, silently comforting her.

She had suffered so much in the past few years. To save her, he had borrowed money from many people and suffered so much disdain. Now that he had obtained the system and found a way to gain life, he would not let his mother suffer anymore.

Huang Yuyun cried for a while, and after venting her anger, she looked up at her son.

His face was rosy and his eyes were full of energy. He didn't look like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness at all. She believed that her son was really cured.

"Let's go out for dinner and celebrate."

"Mom, something is wrong now. Let's not go out." Lu Chengchuan stopped his mother.

There are monsters outside, and the authorities haven't given a definitive answer yet. What if he runs into monsters again? He's not afraid of monsters, he's actually hoping to run into them as soon as he gets out. After all, they're like moving life forms.

But my mother is just an ordinary person, and it would be very dangerous for her if she encountered such a thing.

Huang Yuyun thought of this, nodded, and changed her mind to go to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables and cook it herself.

Lu Chengchuan went with her. While they were buying groceries, on the other side of the city, in the forensic autopsy room of the police station, a group of people looked at the four corpses on the stage with serious expressions.

"Lao Lin, what on earth are they?"

As soon as the old forensic doctor put down his scalpel, everyone gathered around him and asked him questions.

"They are not living people." The old forensic doctor took off his mask and said this.

"We knew they weren't alive. They were lying on the table, so how could they still be alive?"

"These aren't normal dead bodies. They're dead bodies that haven't decayed in a hundred years. I've never seen anything like them. They're weird, very weird, just like... the monsters in the movies. They don't make any sense at all."

"The victims had been drained of all their blood, and the wounds were consistent with those caused by their fangs."

He had been doing this for decades, but this was the first time he had handled a corpse like this. He couldn't believe it and thought the police had dug it out of the grave to tease him.

"Who killed these three monsters?"

The police chief came to the monster corpses. Three of them had their throats slit open, and one had several bullet holes in its head.

This monster had to be shot in the head to die, and it took seven or eight shots. How could anyone kill such a thing with bare hands?

"We checked the on-site surveillance footage and found that a man was responsible for the murder. He was wearing a mask and a hat. He ran away when we arrived, and we haven't found him yet."

"Find him, you must find him! I leave this matter to you."

After several people left the autopsy room, a police officer trotted over and said, "Chief, there's a group of people outside. They say they're from our investigation bureau and want to see you."

"Investigation Bureau? Which department is this..." The police officer brought the news, but the director was very confused.

He had never heard of such a department. Could it be... a special confidential organization? Now there was another unknown department. Yang Jikai's head was full of questions.

"You go find clues, where are they, take me there."

Yang Jikai and his subordinates walked to the yard parking lot and came to a black car.

He walked over and the back window of the car rolled down, revealing the face of a young woman.

The woman had a cold temperament and expressionless face, but she was pleasing to the eye. Yang Jikai stepped forward and the woman took out a small black notebook.

"Director Yang, here are our credentials."

Director Yang took the ID and looked at it for a moment. He looked up at the woman and said, "I didn't know the country had such a department. Do you know what the crime of deceiving the police is?"
