Chapter 66 Healing Ability.
Feng Wenkang had long since changed his residence. Since awakening his healing ability, his status in the base has risen accordingly, and his living conditions are no longer on the same level as before.
People around him, eager to curry favor with him, gave him quite a few tangible benefits. No wonder he looked so radiant, and the angle of his chin was even higher than before.
However, the other party's expression softened somewhat when they saw Mo Xiu and Mo Qi.
As expected of someone renowned for his ability to assess situations, he knew Mo Xiu's capabilities well; they had returned safely from this mission. It was said they had even killed a level seven zombie, further enhancing Mo Xiu's reputation within the base.
Feng Wenkang naturally felt it would be better to be on good terms with Mo Xiu, so he immediately put on a friendly smile and took the initiative to greet her.
Upon seeing Mo Qi's arm, they instantly understood their purpose and said, "Captain Mo, are you here to treat someone's injury?"
Mo Xiu nodded upon hearing this, and followed Feng Wenkang into the room with Mo Qi. After Mo Qi sat down, Mo Xiu stood quietly beside him.
Seeing that Feng Wenkang immediately and actively helped Mo Qi check his injuries, and then used his so-called healing ability to help Mo Qi heal his wounds little by little.
And you know what? This healing ability is really useful. Mo Qi's wounds are healing very quickly. Even though they are deep enough to expose bone, they are healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that Mo Qi, who was sitting, showed no unusual expression, and that his wounds had healed, Mo Xiu felt much relieved. Little did she know that Feng Wenkang, who was using his supernatural abilities, was actually quite surprised.
He knew very well that while his ability was useful, its effects were never this good. But somehow, when used on Mo Qi, the healing effect more than doubled instantly.
It's impossible that his healing ability suddenly leveled up, since level increases are noticeable. Besides, he had just helped another ability user recover before Mo Xiu and Mo Qi arrived.
The other person's wound was small, but he still spent a lot of time and only managed to heal the person to about 70-80%.
Feng Wenkang didn't understand what was going on, but Mo Qi understood perfectly. The reason his wounds healed much faster than others was naturally because the skill used by the other party was very effective against him.
After all, Feng Wenkang's superpower was mutated by demonic energy. It's not impossible for him to heal ordinary people, but the scattered demonic energy will inevitably interfere with their injuries, thus reducing the effectiveness of his abilities.
But he's different; he's a demonic cultivator, and the demonic energy in his body is more abundant than that of a zombie. Absorbing demonic energy is nourishing for Mo Qi, and Feng Wenkang's treatment will only be twice as effective on him.
Mo Qi watched his wound heal without showing any emotion until the treatment was over. Then, he suddenly looked up at the man opposite him and said, "Your superpower, it didn't awaken on its own, did it?"
"Brother Mo Qi, what do you mean by that?" Feng Wenkang's smile froze instantly, feeling that Mo Qi's words had a hidden meaning.
"What I mean is clear to you, isn't it? Your sudden emergence of this superpower must also be related to the research institute, right?" Mo Qi said slowly and deliberately.
Upon hearing Mo Qi's words, Feng Wenkang felt a pang of panic. He noticed that the person opposite him had no expression on his face and hadn't produced any concrete evidence.
But for some reason, the other party's aura made him feel somewhat afraid, and even inexplicably guilty, as if Mo Qi knew something.
It should be noted that although he never held a high position before or after the apocalypse, he was not without the ability to meet important figures.
In comparison, none of the important figures he had met possessed an aura stronger than Mo Qi's. Just what kind of background did this Mo Qi have?
However, Feng Wenkang still harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that his transactions were so secretive that they couldn't possibly be discovered so easily by others.
Maybe Mo Qi doesn't know anything and is just trying to blow himself up.
While Feng Wenkang was still hiding his true intentions and putting up a stubborn resistance, Mo Xiu had more or less understood what he was saying.
According to Mo Qi, the other party's situation is likely related to Meng Zhen at the beginning and Xiong Gangyong later, which is why Mo Qi said such a thing.
Does that mean Feng Wenkang could turn into a high-level zombie at any time? And what about his healing ability? Could it be that his sudden awakening of this ability is also related to the demonic energy within his body?
It has to be said that there really is a natural understanding between Mo Xiu and Mo Qi; he guessed it pretty accurately.
Seeing that Feng Wenkang did not admit it, or that he did not realize the seriousness of the matter, Mo Qi did not intend to press him for answers.
He used the simplest method: he drew upon the demonic energy within the other's body, causing Feng Wenkang to rapidly begin turning into a zombie.
Thus, Feng Wenkang watched helplessly as his fingernails began to turn a strange bluish-black, and his bare hands began to turn pale.
He could even clearly feel his body becoming increasingly stiff, and he was clearly turning into a zombie.
"How could this be? How could this happen!"
Feng Wenkang's face was filled with terror, his pupils were turning red, and his expression was becoming increasingly stiff.
Judging from his appearance, it probably won't be long before he can't even make a terrified expression anymore.
"It seems you've really done a lot of bad things, otherwise, how could retribution come so quickly? Why don't you just confess?"
Mo Qi could clearly see the fear in the other person's eyes, but when he spoke again, his tone was still full of nonchalance.
"What are you saying? Heh, heh, save me, save me!"
Feng Wenkang spoke with difficulty, he didn't know why he had become like this either. But trying to grasp the information from what the other person had said to him before, could it be that his current state was really related to Professor Frank?
For some reason, he felt that Mo Qi on the other side might have a way to save him, so he exhausted his last bit of strength to ask the other for help.
Fortunately, Mo Qi's purpose in doing this was only to scare him, not to actually turn Feng Wenkang into a zombie. After hearing the other party's cry for help, he raised his hand and slowly stopped controlling the demonic energy in the other party's body.
The person on the other side was surprised to find that their body was rapidly recovering, and soon they returned to their normal human form.
"What... what happened?" Feng Wenkang patted his chest, still a little shaken. He rolled up his sleeves to check the condition of his arms and hands; the color had indeed returned to normal, and his body was no longer stiff.
Turning her head, she saw that Mo Qi and Mo Xiu were quietly watching her. She had no intention of hiding anything anymore and hurriedly confessed everything to them, crying her eyes out.
"How was I supposed to know that professor was so vicious? He sent me a letter himself, saying that he had a way to develop a drug to resist the zombie virus and wanted to come to our base. He needed an introducer."
No matter how I calculated it, it seemed like a worthwhile deal, so I agreed. Later, I told the base commander to have you search for him within the area he provided and rescue him.
At this point, Feng Wenkang licked his dry lips, picked up the water glass on the table and took a big gulp of water, and continued, "And this superpower too, he said that although he hasn't developed a drug that can completely solve the zombie virus, he has developed a new drug that can awaken superpowers in people. It's still in the experimental stage and hasn't been announced yet. He asked me if I was interested?"
"Who wouldn't be interested in such a windfall? You know, it's really not easy for an ordinary person like me to survive in the apocalypse. I really hope to have some kind of superpower, even the most useless one."
That way, no matter what happens in the future, it will be much easier to get by wherever I go. I just think, fortune favors the bold…
Feng Wenkang's words were quite truthful, and Mo Xiu could understand them. Mo Qi, who was standing to the side, then continued, "So you agreed to let him use that so-called new drug on you."
"Yes." Feng Wenkang nodded. At the time, he genuinely just wanted peace and wealth. He never imagined that the drug might turn him into a zombie!
He then gestured the size and shape of a medium-sized syringe. "Professor Frank took a syringe this big, the liquid inside was black, and injected it into my body, and then I awakened my superpowers."
Feng Wenkang was quite frank. Once he started talking, he told Mo Xiu and Mo Qi everything that had happened, down to the smallest detail.
He also emphasized that when the "drug" was first injected into his body, he suffered terribly and even thought he was going to die several times.
After listening to Feng Wenkang's words, Mo Qi roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. As for why the other party was in so much pain after being injected with the "potion," it was because the human body generally rejects demonic energy.
However, he still couldn't figure out what method the doctor used to isolate the demonic energy from the human body, and how he caused the demonic energy to mutate within Feng Wenkang's body, making him appear to have become a superhuman.
Of course, Mo Qi knew that all of this was just an illusion. Feng Wenkang had never become a true superhuman; he had merely become a high-level, half-zombie with superpowers.
As for why the awakened ability was healing, considering the sudden rise in status after the awakening, Mo Qi felt that this matter should also be closely related to that doctor.
However, he did not intend to tell Feng Wenkang the truth for the time being. Instead, he said that the medicine the doctor gave him was problematic.
"What should I do? I really don't want to become a zombie. Brother Mo, I beg you, you have to save me!"
Thinking that he had almost turned into a zombie, Feng Wenkang was so scared that he almost knelt down before Mo Qi.
Seeing the other person's frightened expression, Mo Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mo Xiu and I came here specifically to help you. We just have a small favor to ask, and we don't know if you'd be willing to help..."
