Pollution throughout the territory

"Really, it's like this."

On the hospital bed, Yi Zhiyu's body was covered with various tubes, and only a pair of eyes leaked out, crying unwillingly.

The doctor stood nearby, watching him expressionlessly.

With a smile on his face, Xia Ren silently took out his mobile phone and clicked on the video.

Tang Tangtang touched his forehead with his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Master, what are you doing, Master!"

He really wanted to leave here. He didn't want to see the master make a fool of himself. It was so shameful.

"Don, why do you make that expression?"

Yi Zhiyu tilted his head with difficulty, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"because……"

Tang Tangtang didn't know how to answer, and his desire to turn around and leave became stronger.

(BGM sounds here: Flower of Hope)

Yi Zhiyu's lips trembled and he said: "I am an S-class Tiger King, one of the twelve kings. This injury is not a big deal."

"And it's my job to protect you."

"Uh-huh."

Xia Ren nodded perfunctorily while recording the video.

"That's enough, let's go."

Yi Zhiyu stared at the ceiling: "Everyone is...waiting for you."

He slowly raised his arm, which was still wrapped in a plaster, as if he was trying to touch someone who didn't exist in front of him.

"And...Canglan, I finally understand.

We don't need a final destination at all, we just need to keep moving forward.

As long as it doesn't stop, the road will continue to extend..."

【ki- bo- u- no- ha- na~】

"What are you doing?"

The doctor looked at Xia Ren doubtfully.

Xia Ren wiped the corners of his eyes and turned the volume on his phone to the maximum:

"Play background music."

On the hospital bed, Yi Zhiyu's eyes became peaceful:

"Because I won't stop,

As long as you don't stop,

Then there must be me in front of you..."

"so……

Don’t stop…”

Yi Zhiyu's arms lost their strength and completely drooped.

…

…

Far away in Xizhou, in a hidden jungle.

The cries of monkeys echoed around, the lush leaves blocked the sunlight, and bright beams of light were projected from the gaps between the branches and leaves.

On the raised roots of a thousand-year-old tree, an unusually petite figure wearing a black robe sat there, bathed in the skylight.

Suddenly, the woman seemed to feel something and looked into the distance.

"Yi Zhiyu?"

Behind the woman, a giant black snake was entangled in the ancient tree. Its two fangs were deeply pierced into the trunk. While injecting venom, the abyss-like mouth was also frantically sucking up the scarlet tree trunk. liquid.

…

…

"He specified that it would not work."

The doctor pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a businesslike expression: "Don't say two days, I will keep him out of bed for at least half a month."

"..." Xia Ren.

This sentence doesn't sound like treatment at all, but more like a threat from some evil forces.

"It's okay, I just asked casually."

Yi Zhiyu is still undergoing treatment and has just completed a major operation. Although he does look a bit miserable, his vitality is not generally tenacious. According to the doctor, even if his brain is gone, he can still jump around for a while. .

For example, a heart tear is a fatal injury to ordinary people, but in Yi Zhiyu's case, it can be resuscitated, and the success rate is not low.

Xia Ren just watched the operation process from the sidelines, and I have to say that the scene was a bit shocking.

A group of surgeons surrounded Yi Zhiyu, holding drills, hammers, hammers, hand saws... which were more complete than eighteen kinds of weapons. Xia Ren felt that they were not performing operations, but forging weapons.

"He resisted."

The doctor responded to Xia Ren's surprise after the operation.

Then Xia Ren casually asked Yi Zhiyu how many days it would take to recover, and then said that he would be leaving in two days, so the conversation just happened.

"Do you have anything else? If nothing happens, I'm leaving."

The doctor said and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Xia Ren suddenly remembered something important and asked, "Do you know Dr. Liao?"

"Doctor Liao?"

The doctor tilted her head slightly, and a few strands of hair fell from her forehead: "Oh~ you are talking about Dr. Liao, right?"

"Yes, that's Dr. Liao."

Xia Ren nodded: "I want to ask, is his wife also a foundation?"

"Wife? What wife?"

The doctor looked puzzled: "Dr. Liao has always been single. If he had a girlfriend, our entire hospital would know about it immediately, let alone getting married."

Xia Ren recalled all the details when he first woke up, as well as the condom that he accidentally dropped, and his anus suddenly tightened.

But he was still uneasy and continued to ask: "How many doctors are there in your hospital? Counting the one with S-level authority."

The doctor thought for a moment: "Count him both."

Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and out of caution, he asked again: "Is Dr. Liao with S-level permission married?"

"Not married."

The doctor looked at Xia Ren as if he were a fool: "The doctor I was talking about just now is Dr. Liao with S-level authority."

The doctor left after saying this.

Xia Ren's heart was also confused.

"Are you OK?"

Tang Tangtang asked with concern.

"No, it's okay."

Xia Ren felt that his legs were a little weak.

"Did Dr. Liao do anything to himself?"

The question kept echoing in his mind, over and over again.

His body was already weak, and now he had suffered such a severe mental blow. Xia Ren could hardly stand.

Upon seeing this, Tang Tangtang stepped forward and gently supported his arm.

They were separated by clothes when they came into contact, but Xia Ren could still feel a chill passing down Tang Tangtang's palm.

"Why are you so cold?"

Only then did Xia Ren notice that despite the current temperature of about 20 degrees, his clothes were a bit thick and he was wearing a coat.

Tang Tangtang sniffed and said with some embarrassment: "The doctor told me that this is a sequelae of the previous battle. My body temperature has been around 30 degrees for unknown reasons. They have been studying it, but they have not found it yet. There is no way to treat it, but luckily I am relatively strong, so I can withstand it.”

"I'm hurting you."

Xia Ren's tone was a little sad.

Tang Tangtang was knocked unconscious by Fengzi at the beginning of the crucial battle. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he was not unaffected.

Itakuya's true form came and polluted every grain of yellow sand in the air, and Tang Tangtang, who was in a coma, was naturally not immune.

Even the S-level Yi Zhiyu's intelligence briefly deteriorated after the battle, and his physical injuries were even more serious. Tang Tangtang, who was far less powerful than the S-level, was extremely lucky to have escaped death.

But despite this, in fact, the sequelae of hypothermia are still very serious.

The first thing it brings about is the decrease in combat effectiveness. The original body temperature of about 37 degrees is the optimal body temperature for human beings. At this temperature, both the body's agility and metabolism are at the most balanced position. But now the body temperature The shortcomings directly caused Tang Tangtang's movement speed to seriously decrease, and his strength was not as good as before. He now needs to warm up for at least ten minutes before he can barely return to his previous level.

The drop in body temperature also caused problems with Tang Tangtang's immune and digestive systems.

At Yi Zhiyu's level, fighting to the limit, the blood in his body can even approach the boiling point. The microorganisms and bacteria in his body, including the intestinal flora that assist digestion, the probiotics in the mouth, the bacteria on the body surface, and the scalp flora, are unable to adapt. Such drastic changes in the host's body were all destroyed.

Before entering S-level, Yi Zhiyu felt extremely painful every time he ate. He had to eat a large amount of food at every meal. However, without the assistance of other bacteria in his body, his digestion ability was severely reduced, and some trace elements and even vitamins were lost. They couldn't get it from food, which slowly resulted in his skinny body.

After the bacteria in the body disappear, probably the few benefits are that he no longer has to worry about dandruff, and there is no tooth decay.

Later, with the assistance of [Gardener's Blood], Yi Zhiyu successfully entered the alienation stage, and his strength was promoted to S level. His body broke away from the human category, and he finally got rid of the previous negative influence.

But Tang Tangtang is not as strong as his master.

So next, he has to endure almost the same torture and suffering as Yi Zhiyu back then, even more serious than that.

This world is sometimes so unreasonable. Itakuya's target is Xia Ren. He never cared about Tang Tangtang from the beginning to the end. Just because of his appearance, Tang Tangtang had to bear such serious consequences.

Of course, the impact of the drop in body temperature on Tang Tangtang has not yet been fully reflected. He now only has a cold body, needs to wear more clothes, has a frequent runny nose, needs to keep tissues on hand, and has a decreased appetite.

As he said, fortunately he was relatively strong, so he was able to withstand it.

…

…

In the next two days, Xia Ren couldn't visit Yi Zhiyu because the doctor blocked him, so he had to wander around here.

But his body was still very weak and he felt tired when he moved, so he didn't go to many places and spent most of his time resting in his ward. Anyway, someone brought food and it tasted good, so he stayed there for two days. Otaku, I don’t even care about updates, I plan to wait until the saved manuscripts are used up before writing.

During this period, he also contacted Qin Yun twice. The situation in Dongpu City has been gradually recovering. Although the swarm phenomenon has occurred, the Foundation and the Superman Association are still closely monitoring it. The control of atypical insect phobia is not optimistic.

However, listening to Qin Yun's description, Xia Ren became more and more interested in the [Mother Tree of Mercy].
