Once home and the door was closed, Mao Li deactivated his invisibility, and Xiao Bao jumped out of the backpack.
The three people looked around at the unconscious man on the stretcher. Xiao Bao was the first to jump away, seemingly frightened.
The mutated beasts possess an innate fear of high-level ability users, and even when the other party is critically ill, it can still sense his power.
The watch on the Motiland watch was completely gray, as if it had run out of power.
Unfortunately, it's been raining and cloudy all day, so we can't replenish the solar energy. I guess we won't be able to use it for the time being. What's more, the bio-watch will automatically lock when it senses that the owner's vital signs are below average, unless the owner unlocks it with voice.
Unable to contact his family, and worried that he might have some powerful enemies, Zuo Shan had no choice but to leave him lying there for the time being.
Send him to the hospital? I doubt her tens of thousands of yuan in savings would be enough to cover the hospital fees. What if he dies? Who will she ask for the money?
Going to District 48 was imperative, but she dared not risk losing all her possessions, so she could only wait it out for now. If he could wake up, everything would be resolved.
There was only one bed in the house, and it was a hot day, so she wasn't worried about him catching a cold. Therefore, she didn't plan to give him her own bed and let him sleep on the stretcher.
“Master, he is a high-level ability user. His injuries were not caused by ordinary weapons, but by high-level abilities.”
The reason he was unconscious was because the other party's superpowers were continuously damaging his body's self-repair function.
You can lend him that Purple Cloud Egg temporarily; it can purify the violent energy within his body and reduce the damage caused by the enemy's supernatural abilities.
"This way, he can slowly recover using his own powerful self-healing ability," Mao Li concluded after studying the case for a long time.
"What? We're going to lend him the Purple Cloud Egg? What if he accidentally sucks the whole Purple Cloud Egg dry?" Zuo Shan shook his head vigorously.
But after thinking it over carefully, she compromised.
In this environment where medical resources are scarce, the Purple Cloud Egg is the only treatment she can afford that doesn't require spending silver coins.
Since we saved him, it means he wasn't meant to die. Consider this Purple Cloud Egg as payment on behalf of the original owner. After all, it's immoral to take advantage of a man who is both handsome and has a great physique for free.
Zuo Shan blushed as she recalled the scene in her dream, but she quickly calmed down, took the purple cloud egg from under her pillow, wrapped it in a tattered burlap sack, and stuffed it under his head as if it were a pillow.
That way, if he wakes up, he won't notice anything amiss immediately, right? Then she can secretly put the Purple Cloud Egg back on her bed without anyone noticing, and maybe she can still use it.
After a whole day of fussing, Zuo Shan used the fish bones left over from yesterday's soup, along with the bamboo rat bones left over from making minced meat sauce, a leftover thistle leaf, two low-radiation buckwheat leaves, and a handful of yam strips to cook a big pot of porridge.
She and Xiaobao ate half of it, and she put the rest in a bamboo basin and placed it on the table for him to eat when he woke up.
Okay, that's assuming he actually wakes up. If he dies, the remaining porridge will be her and Xiao Bao's breakfast tomorrow.
Wastelanders are just that pragmatic; nothing can stop their determination to fill their stomachs, not even if the sky falls or the earth collapses.
After eating and drinking their fill, Zuo Shan went to bed, and Xiao Bao also crawled into the crib, even plucking a dry bamboo leaf to cover himself, somewhat like burying his head in the sand.
That man was so powerful that it trembled at the sight of him, but the room was only so big, what could it do but hide?
If it weren't for its reluctance to part with Sister Fan, it would have loved to run off to the bamboo forest on its own.
Perhaps because of the memories of the original owner of that man on the ground, Zuo Shan subconsciously became less wary of him. In addition, after being up for so long today, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Mao Li sighed resignedly, "The master was too careless. How could she be so at ease letting a strange man move into the house?"
Fortunately, it didn't matter if the mechanical race stayed up all night; at most, it would just consume some energy. He could just keep an eye on the man.
**
When Mortilan opened his eyes, he was met with a pair of bright green eyes, and he instinctively released a protective shield.
In the darkness, he saw the owner of the eyes; it was a crudely made robot cat, almost like a string of metal sheets.
It's an eye-catching design, but it looks quite convincing, though it can only fool ordinary people.
Is he seeing threats everywhere?
It's no wonder he did this; this time he received a mission to lead a team to wipe out the mutated species on the edge of District 50.
Normally, this kind of task wouldn't require him, a peak ninth-tier ability user, to do it. However, the task was assigned to his distant cousin, Hughesland Shield, who had encountered a problem and experienced an internal power surge, requiring a mental ability user to calm and soothe him.
Hughes Landun is the most outstanding young man in the Landun family's side branch. He has already broken through to the seventh rank. This time, the number of mutated rats is relatively large. The higher-ups are worried that ability users below the seventh rank will have difficulty controlling the overall situation, causing some mutated rats to escape.
Mutant rats have an extremely high reproductive rate. If even a small portion escapes, they can cause a plague again within two years.
Since there were no more ability users of level seven or above in the family, he temporarily took on this task for his cousin.
Just as he was unleashing his full power, enveloping the entire mutated rat swarm in his power cage and waiting for his rat extermination team to attack with firearms, a teammate approached him, and a fire-attribute power struck him from behind.
It pierced his chest from under his left armpit, but fortunately, he managed to change the direction of the fire-attribute power at the critical moment, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory and not pierce his heart.
Otherwise, he would have been finished by now.
The man chose the perfect moment; he was unleashing his full power and had no energy left to support the shield, which allowed the attack to strike when it was weak.
Fortunately, he was in a very convenient position. He was standing at the exit of the low-altitude aircraft, which allowed him to overlook the entire mutated rat swarm and set up the superpowered cage.
His first instinct after being severely injured was to escape the aircraft. To his right was land, and without the protection of an energy shield, falling would mean certain death.
To his lower left was a swift-flowing river, into which he would most likely die, but he chose the river because only by leaving the scene immediately could he have a chance of survival.
Furthermore, because the person who ambushed him was of the fire element, his superpower would be consumed by at least 30% when it hit the water.
The moment he fell into the water, he barely managed to retract a small portion of his ability to control the mutated rat swarm, using it to create a protective shield for himself and withstand the man's continued attacks.
Later, he lost consciousness. It's estimated that the energy shield wouldn't last long after that. It was pure luck that he didn't die in the mouth of the piranhas in the river.
