'This thing's healing property is absurd…' he thought. At the same time, he wondered how the growth property would work.
The fruit's healing effect was clearly more potent than he expected. What would have normally taken 6 months to heal was now healing at a unprecedented rate. Perhaps his tibla bone would even fully recover by the next day.
Of course, the regeneration ability from his infected genes also played a huge role in this recovery. It wasn't a simple addition in effectiveness, but a multiplication.
If he wasn't observing it with the x-ray vision himself, he would not have believed it either.
Even after he got the system, Long Yu had always put the issue aside.
This was because his left leg would have to be restricted for a period, affecting his fighting ability.
Even with the low level medical items from the system, along with his regeneration ability, he calculated that it would take a minimum of one month for his leg to fully recover. After all, a wound on the organ and a wound on the bone are two different things. Moreover, without control over the nano-machines, he would have had to do an open surgery on his leg, which carried too many risks.
Therefore, it was better to have relied on the nano-machine exoskeleton armor to compensate his mobility issue.
Thankfully, they encountered the vampire plant along the way, which could be said to be a blessing in disguise.
While the bone in his leg was still fusing, Long Yu went online to check for news updates.
[Military camp located in x.x.xX was attacked by giant flying insects a few hours ago. Although the army managed to repel the insects, the camp suffered many casualties…]
A few images showing the carca.s.ses of the dead insects were also posted. They look like a crossbreed between a praying mantis and a flying ant. On the ground, there were several yellow stains, presumably the insects' blood. One of the images showed a disturbing scene, where b.l.o.o.d.y pieces of human bodies were strewn across the ground.
The forum didn't even bother to censor the gore shown in the images. It was a waste of effort and there was no use hiding it from the public anyway. Everyone was in the same situation, and like it or not, it was now doomsday.
"That camp is quite close to this city. I hope those insects won't fly towards this direction. Those things would be troublesome to deal with…." Long Yu murmured while looking at the screen.
He personally did not favour encountering mutated flying creatures because their natural advantage made them tricky to deal with.
Half and hour later, his tibla bone had fused to the point that he could regain some mobility in his left leg. Long Yu estimated that it should fully recover by the next day. He then carefully got off the bed and exited the room.
Li Xue Lan and Xixi were sitting in the lounge area, happily chatting away.
'Oh, when did they get so close?' Long Yu curiously thought to himself.
Regardless, he felt that it was nice for Xixi to have someone to talk to. As a person who seldom speaks, he rarely engaged in any exciting topics with the little la.s.s.
"You guys hungry? I'm planning to make lunch now," he called out while walking towards the kitchen of the RV.
"Yes please, big brother!" Xixi immediately turned around and replied with her adorable voice.
"Ah, uh… yes please…" Li Xue Lan who was sitting beside her, replied softly with an embarra.s.sed expression. She originally wanted to excuse herself from staying any longer, but in the end could not resist the temptation.
'I shall thank mister Long and leave after this meal…' she thought to herself. She felt she would be imposing too much if she kept consuming their resources for free.
After Long Yu whipped up a hearty meal, they merrily ate in silence.
"Xixi and I are leaving the city tomorrow," Long Yu suddenly said.
"Ah, yes, I remember you mentioned about it before. Where.... do you guys plan on going?" Li Xue Lan asked out of curiosity.
"We are going to head north tomorrow once the road clears. What about you?"
"I... plan to head to the nearest military camp once we leave the city…" Li Xue Lan answered hesitantly.
In truth, she was not sure where to go. Her family resided in Hong Kong and she had previously moved here by herself in order to escape a marriage fixed by her parents. Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to return.
This world is now filled with zombies and other dangerous creatures. It is unlikely to find peace like before, even in the military camps.
"The nearest military camp from here…. that would be the one close to Yueyang city…" Long Yu frowned when he heard her reply.
Seeing the expression of the young man in front of her, Li Xue Lan felt a bit uneasy.
'Did I say something wrong?' she timidly thought.
"I advise you not to go there. That military camp had just been attacked a few hours ago and it won't be safe." Long Yu took out his phone and showed her the contents posted on the forum.
"Ah?! Attacked by what? It can't be…", Li Xue Lan almost jumped in surprise when she heard him.
With a glance at the phone, she recognised the forum. She had visited the site before just like many survivors. However, after witnessing the myriad of distressed posters crying for help, it filled her with a sense of melancholy. Thus, she hadn't visited the site since.
As she saw the images on the forum, her face paled with fear. The military camps were like sanctuaries to ordinary survivors. The soldiers could protect them with firearms, eliminating even large groups of zombies.
However, it was evident from the post that even the soldiers were not able to completely stop the group of mutated insects, leading to the death of many survivors.
Casting her eyes away from the brutal scene, Li Xue Lan felt that she was too naïve. There was no actual safe place in this world. If whichever military camp she goes to encounters a similar event, there is no guarantee that she wouldn't become a casualty like in the images.
" There is another military camp along the way where we're heading. I can drop you off there if you want," Long Yu offered.
"….yes, that would be great…thank you," she replied in a deflated manner. At this moment, her mind was occupied with thoughts of insecurity and fear for the future.
Long Yu scratched his nose with his finger, feeling a little awkward. It seems like he had ruined the mood. However, it was best to inform the girl about the danger, lest she suffers an unfortunate accident.
The three of them finished their lunch not long after. With her personality, Li Xue Lan obviously insisted to do the dishes, so he didn't refuse.
