After walking for only seven or eight minutes, Kongsang stopped at a mountain wall.
With her slender palm open, a purple light blade converged, and with a horizontal slash, the hard mountain rock was cut open as if it were tofu, revealing a hidden paradise inside.
Upon seeing the iconic purple light blade, Yu Wei completely lost her composure and ran over, wanting to say something but unable to speak.
However, before she could even get close, she was forced to stop, her face pale and her eyes filled with disbelief, as the tip of the light blade was pointed at her...
Kong Sang, with his eyes closed and expressionless, held a knife to the side, clearly indicating his resistance to Yu Wei's approach.
Yu Wei clenched her fists, her heart aching as if a knife had been plunged inside...
His voice cracked as he said, "Do you think I betrayed you? I... I have nothing to say. Just kill me."
Qi Yun frowned, pushed Lan Ye aside, and staggered forward to stand in front of Yu Wei.
He couldn't tell whether Nie Kongsang's abilities were exactly the same as An Xiuqi's, or... whether the person at this moment wasn't Nie Kongsang...
Lin Changli's face darkened as well. He strongly resisted the idea of his woman having another species inside her, especially a former acquaintance.
He strode over, not caring that the light blade in his hand was pressed against his shoulder, and grabbed Kong Sang's chin, about to kiss him.
Kong Sang's eyelids twitched, and before the kiss landed, the light blade in her hand vanished, and her body went limp into Lin Changli's arms...
After watching a skit, Lan Ye was filled with interest. He realized that these people had a lot of secrets, and he became more and more curious.
Seeing that the person had fainted again, Lin Changli breathed a sigh of relief, picked the person up again, and continued walking along the cut-open hole without saying a word.
Qi Yunshen gripped Yu Wei's hand firmly, leaving no room for doubt: "The past is the past, and there's absolutely no way you'll make me let go."
Of the five people, Lan Ye was interested, Kong Sang was unconscious, and the other three were preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Fortunately, Kongsang seemed to be there to give directions. They hadn't gone far when they found a backpack lying on the ground. Judging from the contents, it was undoubtedly Si Yu's.
quickened their pace and sure enough, they found Si Yu unconscious at the edge of a small puddle.
They helped him up, their faces grim. Si Yu had multiple corrosive wounds on his body, indicating he had cut himself with a knife. What was even more unbearable was that Si Yu had lost a leg…
It disappeared without a trace below the knee, only wrapped in torn strips of cloth, the cloth already soaked with blood.
Enveloped in healing white light, even in the apocalypse, Yu Wei had never felt so useless.
With so much flesh and blood missing, it's impossible for her to recreate a perfectly intact leg. Finding the severed leg might be an option, but for now, she can only do her best to reduce Si Yu's injuries.
If it were an apocalypse… she could consume high-level zombie crystals and try to upgrade her abilities, which might allow her to restore Si Yu's leg…
Opening his heavy eyelids, Si Yu smiled as he looked at his familiar teammates: "Congratulations, you didn't collect my corpse. What's wrong with me, Sang?"
Yu Wei retorted angrily, "Are you kidding me? Where's your leg? Maybe it can be restored if you find me."
Si Yu's eyes darkened, but he still said nonchalantly, "It's burned out... My face is so pale, is it cold? Give me the person."
Lin Changli, unusually, did not argue about Si Yu's overstepping title and placed Kong Sang in Si Yu's arms.
Under the white light, another halo appeared, damp clothes were steamed and white mist rose, the coat visibly dried, and the wet hair became soft.
Her pale face regained color, her curled eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes.
Si Yu chuckled and said, "Is the first thing you see surprising? I told you long ago, you'd be better off with me than with Lin Changli. What use is he?"
Kong Sang's pupils shifted, her peach blossom eyes regaining their vitality, and her voice became somewhat hoarse as she asked, "Your face is as pale as a dead person's. Where are you injured?"
He propped himself up against Si Yu's chest, not missing the other's muffled groan, and looked at Si Yu's body, finally stopping at the broken leg...
Si Yu's expression changed slightly. He wanted to dodge but there was no way to avoid it. Being embarrassed in front of someone you like is a very hurtful thing to your self-esteem.
He forced a lighthearted laugh and said, "Did I scare you? Don't worry, I won't be your backup plan anymore, I..."
"It can be restored!"
Si Yu's pupils constricted, and the others also looked at Kong Sang. Yu Wei was overjoyed: "Kong Sang, can it really be restored?"
"Yes, my mom's arm was broken by my older brother, but she came back as usual, didn't you see? And Nie Yan's broken leg also recovered."
Looking at Si Yu, whose eyes had been rekindled with hope, Kong Sang pondered for a moment: "Don't be too happy yet. You haven't experienced the human experiments of the Nie family, so your body isn't that resistant to gene drugs."
"Green immortality can regenerate flesh and blood, but it also requires bones to grow back. Eating one piece is not enough; you can't withstand it... You will become a monster, with flesh and blood constantly regenerating and falling off. This pain is worse than death."
“My blood can alleviate the suppression, but I have already used it once to save Lan Ye. If I use it again, I will suffer a fate worse than death. So I will not harm myself to save you again. Think carefully before you take it.”
Yu Wei frowned: "Let's go out and think of a solution. Si Yu, there are some risks we don't need to take."
Si Yu shook his head: "There are still dangers ahead. Without legs, I can't get out. I'd just be a burden. I'd rather die here."
"And me, Sang, be smarter from now on. You don't need to talk about your hard work at all. You need to protect yourself. If I turn into a monster, have Lin Changli kill me. Then you find a more capable backup, understand?"
Kong Sang lowered his eyelids, paused for a moment, then took out a small sealed box from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Eat it all!"
Si Yu flashed a bright smile, his teeth dazzlingly white: "You feed me!"
Kong Sang didn't say much. He opened the box, pried open Si Yu's mouth, poured a small bottle of dark green pills into Si Yu's mouth, and then poured a big gulp of water into him.
The drug's effects were potent and rapid; dark green lines spread across Si Yu's skin, and Si Yu's eyes bulged out, his inhuman roar echoing throughout the cave.
He roughly pushed away the people around him, and the flesh on his body visibly regenerated from his wounds. Before Yu Wei could even feel a surge of joy, the flesh peeled off, revealing white bone, and the cycle continued...
Kong Sang watched calmly, his gaze fixed on the broken leg bone. When the strip of cloth was pushed aside and a section of white bone was revealed, his eyes flashed. The most difficult time had come.
Si Yu's roar stopped, not because the torment had disappeared, but because his eyes were now dark green and his expression was distorted, clearly indicating that he had lost his mind.
She kept scratching her body, each scratch revealing chunks of rotten flesh. The stench of decay and blood mixed together. Even though she had seen too many corpses in the apocalypse, seeing her close friend suffer like this made Yu Wei's stomach churn.
Qi Yunshen and Lin Changli covered Yu Wei and Kong Sang's eyes respectively, preventing them from looking directly at such a bloody scene.
Lan Ye also looked away, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he knew that if he were in Si Yu's shoes, he wouldn't want others to see such an unbearable scene. He respected Si Yu's choice.
He would have made the same choice. For soldiers like them, losing their legs means losing all their beliefs and convictions...
