Chapter 37 Chapter 37 "Ah? I just had a vegetable salad,...
"Bang——"
As the advanced mutant nearby fell to the ground with a bang, a familiar text box popped up.
[Do you want to pick up "Golden Crystal" x1? ]
Ye Mian was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and nodded yes.
It seems that because she also participated in the battle, she was able to pick it up directly through the system.
With this, we can know that the advanced mutant in front of us is already dead.
Thinking about this, Ye Mian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wen Yuan who fired the shot. After a pause, he roughly understood.
It's not because the gun in his hand has the power to kill advanced mutants instantly, but because of his skill - [Execution].
Such a powerful skill is often restricted in its use, and may require certain conditions to be met before it can be used, such as finding the enemy's weakness.
After Wen Yuan finished firing the gun, he seemed to have lost all his blood and strength in an instant. Fortunately, his companions who understood him came to support him in time, so he did not fall directly to the ground. Ye Mian was almost certain that his guess was correct.
Ye Mian then withdrew his gaze and walked quickly towards the place where the arms fell. As soon as he approached, he heard the familiar sound of a sharp blade cutting off limbs. Then Lu Ning, whose face was a little pale, poked his head out.
Ye Mian stepped forward and pulled her: "Are you okay?"
Lu Ning nodded, and just as she was about to say that she was fine, shouts of surprise or joy suddenly came from outside the warehouse.
"We succeeded?"
"Dead!!! Haha, Captain Wen shot it to death with one shot!!!"
"Very good!!"
"Woo woo woo, I'm saved..."
Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Ye Mian couldn't help but relax. The joy swirled around in his heart and then sank to the bottom, turning into calm.
She helped Lu Ning up and said, "Let's go, let Dr. Liang take a look."
However, they had just experienced a long and fierce battle, and many people were struggling to continue fighting, so they had to queue up to see a doctor.
After hearing Lu Ning say that she was just feeling suffocated and that the injuries she suffered were not as serious as when she just fought the intermediate mutant, Ye Mian placed her next to the flower bed that had already withered, and then quietly handed her a washed peach.
——Compared to strawberries, Lu Ning prefers sweet and juicy peaches.
Just like that day on the mountain, when Xu Ziyue was attracted by Ye Mian's strawberry scent, Lu Ning had just taken a bite of a peach, and the unique sweet fragrance attracted many eyes. Some people were so envious that they even forgot the pain.
He also forgot about the horrific-looking mutant and the broken limbs scattered all over the floor deep in the warehouse.
However, everyone was not familiar with either of them, so they could only watch and swallow their saliva from time to time.
Xie Yi, who had just expended too much energy and needed a good rest, hesitated for a moment, then moved over little by little.
"Um... after this is completely over, we should be able to get a lot of those stones. Can we still come to you to trade then?"
Ye Mian was about to open the system warehouse to take a look at the golden crystal, but when he heard this, he put his hand down: "Of course, you are welcome anytime."
Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you."
Just as he came over, Ye Mian asked him if anything had happened in their village.
It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, Xie Yi became depressed.
He lowered his head, hiding his self-blame and sadness. "That day, a large number of mutants suddenly came from Yan City. The traps we set were not enough, and it was too late to give the warning. If Captain Wen and his men hadn't been on the mountain and provided timely support, we might have all..."
"It's all my fault. I thought everyone was safe enough in the village and didn't come to join Captain Wen right away."
Although he saw that the situation in the village was not good on the way here, when he arrived at the industrial park and saw Xie Yi and his group there, Ye Mian thought it was no big deal. He didn't expect that this accident was more serious than he imagined.
Ye Mian fell silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment. After all, words of comfort at this moment were of no use to him.
Just when it was quiet here, there was a sudden commotion on the other side, as if there was some dispute, and several people could be heard raising their voices.
Seeing that it was the group of people surrounding Doctor Liang, including Xu Ziyue's siblings and Captain Wen, Ye Mian thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
Lu Ning, who had recovered quietly by eating peaches, nodded.
Xie Yi also followed with some worry: "What's going on?"
But when Xu Ziyue saw Ye Mian coming, she pushed her brother aside and pulled her in. Xie Yi couldn't squeeze in at all and could only listen outside.
"What are you arguing about?" Ye Mian asked softly while looking at the man who was half lying on the ground.
I saw that the skin on his entire right arm had turned into a gray and bloodless color similar to that of mutants, and there was something jumping under the skin, as if it was trying to drill out.
Is this... going to be infected and turn into a mutant?
How could it be like this?
Xu Ziyue had a complicated look on her face. "It wasn't a quarrel. We were just discussing the treatment method. We all said that just cutting off his arm would be enough, but for some reason he kept saying no and asked us to just kill him. Doctor Liang didn't know which one to choose and was waiting for Brother Yuan to make a decision."
Ye Mian looked at the patient again. His skill was [Rebound]. He had been at the forefront just now. He was the one who went to support Wen Yuan when he was exhausted. However, it turned out that his condition was the most serious.
"Hurry up, A Yuan!"
The man opened the collar of his shirt and said, "Don't you see it's spreading? I don't want to be a thing that can't control its own brain at the last moment of my life."
Wen Yuan lowered his eyes and stared at the man lying on the ground. He didn't know if it was because he had just consumed too much energy, but at this moment, there was no trace of emotion in his body, giving people a very cold feeling.
His spear was too heavy, so he put it aside. Now he raised his hand and touched his waist.
"team leader!"
“Brother Yuan!!”
"Wait a moment……"
Amidst the excited shouts, Ye Mian's voice seemed overly calm and a little strange.
So everyone present couldn't help but look at her, but only a few people were looking forward to what she was about to say, and most people were somewhat dissatisfied with her, an outsider, interrupting them casually.
Wen Yuan also looked over, his eyes still emotionless.
Ye Mian didn’t have time to look carefully just now, but now he found that his pupils were very light. Under normal circumstances, it would be nothing, but at the moment, there was a sense of cold cruelty, as if if what she said was of no value, he would just draw his gun.
"I have a way that might help him. If it doesn't work, just shoot again."
Hearing her say this, those dissatisfied people became even angrier and began to say that they should not shoot and that Dr. Liang would definitely be able to think of a way to treat the patient.
Wen Yuan ignored these voices and watched Ye Mian turn around and leave. Then he seemed to pick up something and came back again.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Ziyue, who was nervous but also a little expectant. The latter did not notice his gaze, but was focused on looking at Ye Mian who had returned.
"Ye Mian, what is your method..."
Before Xu Ziyue finished asking, she saw Ye Mian squatting down and handing the thing in her hand to the man.
After seeing clearly what it was, Xu Ziyue was speechless for a moment, and then she felt that the gazes from all around were filled with anger.
“What are you doing!?”
"Are you kidding me!? Is this a situation you can just joke about!?"
"Xu Ziyue, can you please take care of the people you brought here!?"
“I…” Xu Ziyue was helpless. She had no idea how to understand Ye Mian. She had been very reliable all along and had accurately sensed danger, but why did she take out a plate of vegetable salad and say she wanted to treat someone?!
Although the vegetable salad looked delicious, it was obviously made with fresh vegetables, and the seasoning sauce also smelled very delicious.
"It smells so good." The man who was half lying on the ground and looked like he had lost all hope in life suddenly had his eyes light up and sniffed, "Is this my last meal?"
Seeing his reaction, those who were shouting in anger suddenly choked up, and looked at each other in bewilderment - I haven't heard that he is a vegetarian? Even if he wants to eat, he should want to eat meat, right?
The plate that Ye Mian brought came with a fork. After the man took it, he immediately started to wolf it down.
The vegetables were crisp and juicy, and every time he chewed them, a delicious aroma came out, making everyone around him salivate.
Doctor Liang, who was standing next to him, was also stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the man's right arm. Although the skin was still gray, there seemed to be no strange movement.
He reached out and pinched it again. After feeling the restored elasticity, he was a little shocked: "It seems to be better..."
"What???"
“Is this true or false??”
Doctor Liang was also a little excited: "Wait a moment, I will do another bloodletting treatment!"
Because there had never been a case of infection by the mutant species before, Dr. Liang did not have a corresponding treatment method and could only treat the patient according to the symptoms of poisoning. Of course, he did not dare to use medicine indiscriminately. The best method was bloodletting.
Although there was still blood in the mutant's body, the color and texture were completely different. After drawing several tubes of blood from the man and finally drawing out normal crimson blood, he was immediately excited: "It's healed! It's really healed!"
After hearing his firm words and seeing the blood in the syringe was no different from that in normal people, everyone became happy.
The man who was contentedly finishing a plate of salad and ready to die was confused: "Ah? I just ate a vegetable salad, how come it's okay?"
After the man said this, the others remembered that the reason he got better seemed to be because he had eaten the vegetable salad.
But when they looked at where Ye Mian had originally stood, they found that she had quietly retreated and was talking to Xu Ziyue.
Seeing this scene, the group of people remembered that they seemed to have just been yelled at together with Xu Ziyue, and their expressions were filled with shame and guilt.
Just as they were encouraging each other to go over and apologize together, they heard Wen Yuan, who had been silent, finally speak.
"I'll go."
