Chapter 59 Quietly Avenge Her (2 Bonus Chapters)
Modilan Shield's daily food intake is not large. As a high-level ability user, he usually eats super-energy supplements specially developed for high-level ability users, or the meat of high-level alien beasts.
Both of these things are small in size but high in energy, so his stomach and intestines are not as bloated as those high-level superhumans who have worked their way up from the bottom, due to the miscellaneous food.
When he realized he had overeaten, he remembered that in order to stop this woman from continuing to act recklessly and eating more second-tier lamb liver, he had done something that only a child would do in a fit of pique.
For someone at the peak of the ninth rank, the energy from second-tier beast meat was far from sufficient, but it was better than nothing.
After receiving the first aid kit, he stitched up his wounds himself. This skill was part of his elite education, as he was a natural-born genetic warrior destined to be at the forefront, fighting against high-level alien beasts.
Needless to say, the danger of combat is inevitable, so injuries are unavoidable. The teacher who taught this skill once jokingly said to everyone, "I hope that the biggest predicament you will encounter in the future will be stitching up the wounds in your own hearts."
Of course, this is just a joke. No one can remain conscious when they suffer a severe heart attack, and this time, he was only a hair's breadth away from that predicament.
This was the worst battle he had ever faced in his 28 years of life, in all the big and small battles he had experienced. Perhaps it was because his body was severely injured and his mind became fragile that he did such a childish thing.
Modilan didn't bother to think about it any further. He continued to use his powers to suppress the fire-attribute power within him.
Suddenly, he sensed a wisp of energy entering his body. In addition to their five senses being sharp, sixth senses are also present in sixth-level ability users.
This sixth sense is not the intuition that people often talk about, but rather the ability to "see" all the organs inside one's own body using supernatural powers. This ability is called "internal vision."
At that moment, he activated his inner vision and immediately detected that wisp of energy. He followed the source of the energy and traced it back to its origin.
It turned out to be the pillow that woman had prepared for him!
He had a pretty strong impression of this pillow. It was hard under his head, made of an old burlap sack, and he didn't know what was inside. He guessed it was probably a stone or a block of hard wood.
He wanted to open it immediately to take a look, but even without looking up, he could feel that the robot cat was staring at him intently.
This was, after all, someone else's home. As a guest, and one who had insisted on staying there, his upbringing made it impossible for him to do something like looking through the host's pillow.
He could only suppress his curiosity and continue to absorb the energy in the air without making a sound. Of course, he deliberately concentrated his strength to absorb as much energy as possible hidden in the pillow.
This time, more energy entered his body, and he was finally able to see the shape and color of that energy through his internal vision.
It was gray, unlike any energy color he had ever known of.
What shocked him even more was that after the gray energy entered his body, it began to continuously absorb all the volatile energy within him.
Wherever it passed, both its own energy and the invading fire-attribute energy became much more docile, as if a pair of gentle hands had smoothed out all the energy strands that were about to erupt.
This...this is simply a treasure beyond compare!
At that moment, Modilan's heart was moved.
With this treasure, you'll never have to worry about your internal energy threads surging again. It's like having a mental energy soothing master by your side, 36 hours a day, 24/7.
No wonder he felt his superpowers were much smoother when he woke up this morning; it was all thanks to it.
With his abilities, whether he buys it at a high price or seizes it by force, it would be an easy thing for him.
But this treasure happened to belong to his savior. By doing this, he was repaying kindness with enmity, and his conscience was not at peace.
Never mind, let's use it to help heal the wound as quickly as possible, and we can think about the rest later.
Zuo Shan coldly observed the entire process of Modi Lan Dun stitching up his wound. In such a tricky location, the stitches he made were surprisingly neat. If she didn't know his identity, she would have suspected that he was a licensed doctor.
Although he used local anesthetic from the first aid kit to stitch up the wound, the fact that he could stitch up his own wound without batting an eye was enough to inspire awe in her.
If a man can be so ruthless to himself, he must be a formidable character. She'd better get rid of this plague as soon as possible.
While he was healing himself, Zuo Shan quietly took Mao Li to the courtyard and wrote on the ground with a stick: "Did that person find the Purple Cloud Egg?"
"Probably not, at least he didn't deliberately go near that pillow," Mao Li replied.
"Will the Purple Cloud Egg turn into a waste rock because he absorbed too much energy?" Zuo Shan asked again.
"No, the energy contained inside the Purple Cloud Egg far exceeds your imagination. Those who obtained it in the past would treat it as a family heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation."
Since that's the case, Zuo Shan isn't worried that he'll discover it and develop the idea of killing him to steal the treasure.
If this situation were to occur, she would have no choice but to confess that she was carrying his child and prioritize surviving.
However, before that, he still had to continue scavenging. He couldn't just sit around and do nothing. As for the benefits he promised, they were meaningless until he received them.
As the old saying goes, gold from afar is not as valuable as copper in hand. Zuo Shan is a very pragmatic person, and she believes that hard work is the most reliable thing.
The area just experienced a heavy rain with high radiation levels, which washed away most of the radiation before new moderately radioactive wild vegetables could grow. Therefore, people in District 50 will not go out for the next few days unless there is another heavy rain.
Fortunately, the wild vegetables collected recently were not too few, so most people did not go hungry. With some rare leisure time, many scavengers in District 50 were strolling around their neighborhoods.
Zuo Shan wasn't in the mood for leisurely strolling. She decided to take Xiao Bao to the bamboo forest again. She had only run a few steps out of the house when she ran into a familiar face—Lin Manyu, who lived nearby.
She was quite beautiful in her youth, and now she is a middle-aged widow who still retains her charm. When she saw Zuo Shan dragging a sack, clearly intending to go out to scavenge, she casually teased her: "Miss Zuo, you're really pushing yourself to the limit, not even taking a break in this situation."
"Let's try our luck. The doctor said that pregnant women need to exercise regularly to make it easier to have a natural birth," Zuo Shan replied with a smile.
After her jogging figure disappeared into the distance, Lin Manyu said disdainfully, "What a waste of such a good figure and face. Her capable childhood sweetheart Qi Yang ran off with someone else, and she couldn't even keep this bastard in her belly from her own mercenary father. How stupid!"
"Yeah, she can't compare to you. You're so old, yet you can still seduce men so much they can't get out of bed, hahaha!" The old bachelors watching laughed, casually touching the woman's slightly sagging buttocks.
Those who overheard this conversation included the nearby neighbors and Modilan Dun, who was recuperating in his home on the left.
As soon as he stepped out of the house from the left side, he activated his five senses to the maximum, which allowed him to perceive all movements within a radius of 500 meters.
Zuo Shan left without saying goodbye and took Xiao Bao with her. He was curious about what she was planning to do, which was why he was monitoring her movements.
I never expected her to be heading to the bamboo forest. Hasn't the terrifying experience of encountering the fourth-tier iron-eating beast taught her a lesson yet? What a troublesome child!
But he was still angry when he heard his neighbors talking about her behind her back. These gossipy beggars should have their tongues cut out!
Cutting out their tongues was out of the question, and he didn't want to attract attention, so he used a little trick, wrapping a very fine wisp of ice-attribute energy around the tips of their tongues.
Throughout the day, the two people who were gossiping behind each other's backs felt pain in the tip of their tongues. The pain would worsen whether they were talking or eating. When they looked in the mirror, they could only see that the tip of their tongues was slightly white, without any other abnormalities.
People in District 50 are reluctant to go to the hospital for such a minor ailment, so they can only endure it.
