Chapter 6
Jiang Zihan looked outside in a hurry, and saw Zhizhi leaping and flying among the monsters, its claws, which were not even as big as fingernails, instantly shooting out sharp nails.
A silver light flashed, and dark blood immediately splashed in the air.
She held her breath, afraid of disturbing the air, and stared out the window without blinking. Suddenly, the whole wooden house trembled, her heart tightened, and there was a violent collision sound at the door.
Her back stiffened instantly, and there was another collision. With a "clang", the metal door lock was actually poked in from the outside.
The fist-sized lock hole revealed the pitch-black night, and a sense of crisis was pressing in.
Jiang Zihan took two or three steps forward and locked the door, but the wooden house was not very sturdy, so he was afraid that he could not delay for long.
The next second, dark red tentacles slowly squirmed and silently drilled in with slippery mucus.
Jiang Zihan's pupils suddenly constricted. The surface of the tentacle was covered with fine blood vessels, and mucus flowed across the door panel, emitting a sour and smelly smell. With a slight "hissing" sound, it seemed to be sniffing out the movements in the house.
She swallowed, her heart sinking. The scalpel she urgently summoned in her hand was cold, but it seemed to have drained all her strength away.
What the hell is this!
The fear only flashed through her mind for a moment, and the sounds of fighting outside the window continued, and she immediately came to her senses. The next moment, she gritted her teeth, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she gripped the handle of the scalpel tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white due to the force.
She blocked the door with all her strength and swung her knife down. The blade drew a cold light in the air and slashed at the wriggling tentacles accurately and fiercely.
"laugh--"
The moment the blade cut into the tentacle, there was a dull sound that made her teeth ache, like a blunt knife chopping meat. She increased her mental input, and with a "click", the object fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and sticky liquid splashed out, sticking to her exposed skin, with a fishy smell.
Jiang Zihan's chest heaved violently, and she took two steps back, her breathing rapid and disordered, but she gripped the hilt of the knife even tighter. The fear hadn't dissipated, but it felt more like a dark cloud weighing down her heart, making her nerves tense uncontrollably.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in my mind——
[Distortion value -1, integral +1]
Jiang Zihan was stunned. Is this also a mutant?
She rolled up her sleeves suddenly. If these tentacles were points, then she would have motivation! Points delivered to her door, she must take them.
She locked the door tightly, then put her hand to the hole and began to make a "slurp, slurp" sound to call the puppy.
These are not evil tentacles, these are her future supplies!
Granulation-1-1-1
Points +1+1+1
After being chopped more than ten times, the monster outside learned its lesson from the pain and refused to attack in no matter what. Jiang Zihan stuck to the door panel and listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away.
When she had time, she went back to the window again, only to see that Zhizhi's animal nature had been aroused at some point, her entire body swelled twice as large, and she could even see the muscles hidden under the pale yellow fur.
Jiang Zihan swallowed hard. She now admitted that the war beast was not an ordinary small animal.
This is simply a King Kong Barbie!
Thinking about it now, she was really lucky at that time. If Zhizhi hadn't been so seriously injured, with its speed of movement, she might have been knocked down by one punch.
Zhizhi's counterattack was simple and effective, knocking the opponent down in a few moves, but the violent movement tore the wound, and the bandage was stained red again. Jiang Zihan's heart was suddenly gripped.
She suddenly rummaged through the pile of debris in the corner, grabbed some and threw them outside. Zhizhi thought she was being attacked and actually scratched the powder bag with one claw.
Red powder exploded. Those were the chili powders she had picked and saved before. She hadn't had time to sort them out yet, but she didn't expect them to come in handy at this moment.
A pungent smell filled the air around, and in a moment, the monsters retreated from this side. Jiang Zihan suddenly became frightened, grabbed the scalpel, aimed, and shot out with a "swoosh".
In the dark night, a figure suddenly fell to the ground.
Jiang Zihan breathed a sigh of relief and found it a little funny to see Zhizhi sneezing continuously. It was obvious that something was wrong with it just now. Fortunately, the chili powder stopped its anger and finally brought it back to normal.
She cleaned Zhizhi's wound and put on a new bandage. This time the distortion value was reduced by 2 points.
Sure enough, its distortion value has increased again just now.
Jiang Zihan smoothed its fur and said, "Be good, have a good rest." Then he picked up a stick and walked towards the monster.
After pulling out the scalpel, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?" This monster has long arms and legs, why does it look like a human?
Worried the monster might wake up mid-sentence, she quickly tied it up. Shining a flashlight on it, she realized it was indeed a human. However, its body was covered in growths of flesh, making it look grotesque without a closer look. It was only after she had hacked at it a dozen times that a handsome face emerged.
Jiang Zihan's hands began to itch, this knife would earn him one point!
She picked and chose, and instinctively cut off the granulation tissue on her back. The strange feeling in the area where the scalpel blade had passed quickly subsided.
But when the points reached 50, there was no more movement.
Jiang Zihan raised an eyebrow: "Has this reached the upper limit again?"
But the rest of the body would be a bit of an eyesore if it wasn't cut, so except for the severed left hand, she cleaned up all the extra growth from other parts to prevent them from being used as weapons to attack her.
After this treatment, the man's madness suddenly disappeared, and the frown on his face in a coma relaxed slightly.
[Ding Dong, it's detected that the host has saved a human. Distortion value reduced by 10%, points +50. Please keep up the good work, host.]
Um?
Jiang Zihan's eyes fell on this person. Why could his points be doubled? She was puzzled. Could it be that the points were related to the difficulty of the operation?
She scratched her hair and thought, forget it, she couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore. She grabbed the man's feet and dragged him under the eaves, then patted her butt and went into the house.
The man had a fever in the middle of the night. Jiang Zihan was a little worried that he would die so easily, so he came out to check on him from time to time. He originally thought that he was about to die, but after he took the medicine, the fever gradually subsided.
[Ding—Distortion value -2, points +2.]
Jiang Zihan stared at it for a few more seconds, wondering how long he could finally pull this sheep out.
…
As soon as the sky was getting light, the live broadcast room became lively again.
The audience returned to the live broadcast room and greeted each other.
Good morning!
【Good morning, have you all eaten? 】
[After watching so many live streams, I think the others are a bit too exciting. I plan to do my homework, so I need something quiet.]
[Hey, did I go the wrong way? Where's the little girl from yesterday?]
[I'm here, I'm here. I heard there's a super cute big-eared mouse here. Where is it? Let me see it!]
In the live broadcast, a stranger was squatting next to the tomato seedlings, swallowing his saliva with longing in his eyes, but he never picked any.
The inconsistent promotion caused the barrage of comments to stop for several seconds.
[What's going on? Did the host of the live broadcast room change?]
Many viewers began to point out the playback -
[Last night was really exciting! The evil beast came to steal the tomatoes, but was beaten back by the host and Zhizhi.]
【ah? 】
What does it mean? The beast came not to eat people, but to eat tomatoes?
"You're telling me that a little girl and a giant-eared mouse, no bigger than a fist, managed to fight off all the deformed beasts?"
There are actually quite a few screen recordings on StarNet, which means the live broadcast room will be promoted to a wider range.
At this time, Jiang Zihan walked out of the house yawning. She glanced at the deformed person beside her. Although she still had some deformities on her body and her consciousness was groggy, making it impossible to know her specific identity, it could be seen from the lack of calluses on her other hand that she was not someone who had suffered for a long time.
Jiang Zihan quickly cooked a bowl of instant noodles. Considering that the other party had watered all the seedlings, he generously gave her half of the noodles and then enjoyed it happily.
After a hearty meal, she considered going to look for more wood. A large hole had been knocked into the cabin last night, and if another group of monsters came, there would be no way to defend against them.
In the corner, Zhizhi munched on nuts and tilted her head towards the camera, and the audience was so moved by her cuteness that their hearts melted.
[Oh my goodness, what a cute bow! I can actually see such a cute little animal on the live broadcast of the Exiled Land!]
[I've seen this big-eared rat before. It's really fierce when it goes crazy!]
Zhizhi stuffed the last nut into her mouth, kicked off with her hind legs, and jumped over the table two meters away. She stared at the camera with her round eyes for one second, and before the audience could react, the screen went black the next second.
Jiang Zihan, who was sorting out her equipment, glanced over and said, "Zhizhi?"
Zhizhi chewed the wire with a "crunch, crunch" sound, then spat it out with a "Pooh" sound, and opened her eyes wide: "Chi?"
Jiang Zihan didn't care about the camera. It didn't exist a few days ago, and she didn't know who installed it without anyone noticing. Anyway, one missing camera wouldn't affect her live broadcast. So if it was broken, it was broken. It was a good opportunity for Zhizhi to sharpen her teeth.
She put the wicker basket on her back and said, "Let's go."
The deformed person followed blankly, picking some wild vegetables along the way. Since she didn't have a basket, she used the hem of her worn-out clothes to carry them. Jiang Zihan kept some of his attention on her and didn't pay much attention to her as long as nothing happened to her.
Based on her current understanding of distortion, this mutation was more like an energy transfer, which deteriorated midway and randomly attacked the nerves and brain, making people easily out of control. Now that most of the distortion value had been cleared, she was not so violent anymore.
When the two of them returned to the wooden house carrying a few bamboos, a crisp "ding" sound came from Jiang Zihan's mind.
The system upgrade is finally complete.
Jiang Zihan quietly opened the system interface. The experience bar was already full, having been leveling up since the early hours of the morning. She had no idea what new benefits it would offer her.
The interface hasn't changed much, except for a new medical kit icon in the skill bar. Clicking it will reveal a progress bar: [Basic Purification Medical Manual]
The moment the manual was opened, a large amount of information was forced into her brain. She was stunned for several minutes and felt a sense of fulfillment as if she was overwhelmed by knowledge.
She roughly reviewed the contents, glanced thoughtfully at the Aberrant who had squatted next to the tomato seedlings, and suddenly waved at her: "Come here."
She rubbed her wrists. She had been here for so many days, and it was time to show the audience some hardcore content.
Jiang Zihan quickly picked up the scalpel. The distortion was just an irregular variation of energy. If it was retained in a targeted manner, this energy could also become a sharp weapon.
Zhizhi's deformation is not too serious. We just need to remove the scattered and disordered parts and keep the parts that enhance the physical fitness.
But this deformed person was different. Jiang Zihan hadn't yet seen any useful direction for the deformation. When the bandages on the severed hand were removed, granulation tissue immediately emerged. These deformed granulations were growing a bit too vigorously, while the area where the scalpel had been cut hadn't changed much.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind, and the hand holding the scalpel began to move.
Jiang Zihan first disinfected and cut the wound. The granulation tissue was wriggling, and the audience behind the screen felt their scalps tingle and squinted their eyes.
Soon the red area on the screen was covered with mosaics, and the camera made a "beep-beep" sound.
The cameras of the new era are quite intelligent. Jiang Zihan suppressed her provocative instincts and ignored them, continuing to clean up the distorted parts. After the back was completely cleaned and stitched up, an invisible energy flowed along the sutures, and soon the wound faded significantly.
Her eyes lit up, there was drama!
The scalpel moved to the cut on her left hand, and she became more meticulous in her treatment, concentrating her mind highly. She discarded all the deteriorating granulation tissues that were flowing with mucus, and retained those that were in good shape.
The subsequent actions were difficult for the audience to understand.
Newcomers are confused. Is this anchor performing embroidery?
On the mosaic-filled screen, only a pair of slender hands could be seen flying up and down. As the degree of completion increased, an increasingly complete hand appeared on the screen.
【!!!!!!】
[Oh my god, what is this host doing? Using a distorted part to replace her hand? Am I crazy or is she crazy??!]
After cutting the thread, Jiang Zihan looked at his work carefully. It was truly soft as if it had no bones!
It's more like crochet than embroidery.
In order to prevent these from falling apart, Jiang Zihan carefully crocheted a glove with needle and thread, firmly blocking the granulation tissue inside.
The granulation tissue is very flexible and has strong regenerative ability. After being processed by the scalpel and the system's built-in wire, the distortion will no longer spread and will not break through this shape.
She carefully trimmed it again, and the new hand was finally finalized.
The deformed person's eyes were hazy, all the disturbing noises faded away, and the world became clear again.
She raised her head, her voice hoarse but full of emotion as she spoke each word: "Thank you...thank you."
