"Really, it's like this."

On the hospital bed, Yi Zhiyu was covered with various tubes, and only a pair of eyes leaked out, shedding unwilling tears.

The doctor stood beside him, staring at him with a blank face.

Xia Ren smiled, silently took out his mobile phone, and clicked on the video.

Tang Tangtang stroked his forehead with his hand, embarrassed to the extreme.

"Master, what are you doing, master!"

He really wanted to get out of here, he didn't want to see the master's ugly appearance at all, he was so ashamed.

"Don, how do you make that expression?"

Yi Zhiyu turned 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 and stronger.

(BGM sounded here: Hope の花)

Yi Zhiyu's lips trembled, and he said: "I'm an S-level, one of the Tiger Kings of the Twelve Kings, this injury, it doesn't matter." ”

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

"Uh-huh."

Xia Ren nodded perfunctorily while recording the video.

"That's enough, you go."

Yi Zhiyu looked at the ceiling with his eyes: "Everyone is ...... Waiting for you. ”

He slowly lifted his arm, still wrapped in plaster, as if to touch someone who didn't exist in front of him.

"And...... Canglan, I finally understand.

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

As long as it doesn't stop, the road will keep stretching......"

【ki- bo- u- no- ha- na~】

"What are you doing?"

The doctor looked at Xia Ren suspiciously.

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

"Put on background music."

On the hospital bed, Yi Zhiyu's gaze became serene:

"Because I'm not going to stop,

As long as you don't stop,

There must be me in front of ......."

"So......

Don't stop ......"

Yi Zhiyu's arm lost its strength and fell down completely.

……

……

Far away in the West, in a hidden jungle.

The monkey's cries echoed all around, the lush foliage blocking the sunlight, and bright beams of light fell through the gaps in the foliage.

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

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

"Yi Zhiyu?"

Behind the woman, a huge black snake was entwined around the ancient tree, its two fangs digging deep into the trunk, injecting venom while the abyss-like mouth was frantically sucking the scarlet sap.

……

……

"He said no."

The doctor pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with a businesslike expression: "Don't say two days, I'm going to make him unable to get out of bed for at least half a month." ”

"......" Xia Ren.

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

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually."

Yi Zhiyu is still under treatment, he has just had a major operation, although it does look a little miserable, but his vitality is not ordinary tenacity, according to the doctor's words, even if his brain is gone, he can still jump for a while.

For example, a torn heart is a proper fatal injury for ordinary people, but if it is placed on Yi Zhiyu's body, it can be rescued again, and the success rate is not low.

Xia Ren had just finished watching the operation on the side, and I have to say that the scene was a bit shocking.

A group of surgeons surrounded Yi Zhiyu, holding drills, hammers, hammers, and handsaws in their hands...... More complete than the eighteen weapons, Xia Ren felt that they were not doing surgery, but forging weapons.

"He's resistant."

To Xia Ren's surprise, the doctor responded after the operation.

Then Xia Ren casually asked Yi Zhi that he would be able to recover in a few days, and then said that he would leave in two days, so there was a conversation just now.

"Are you okay? It's okay, I'm leaving. ”

The doctor said and turned away.

"Wait a minute."

Xia Ren suddenly remembered something important and asked, "Do you know Doctor Liao?" ”

"Dr. Liao?"

The doctor tilted his head slightly, and a few strands of hair slipped from her forehead: "Oh~ You said that Doctor Liao, right?" ”

"Yes, it's Dr. Liao."

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

"Wife? What wife? ”

The doctor's face was puzzled: "Dr. Liao has always been single, if there is a girlfriend, then our entire hospital will know immediately, let alone get married." ”

Xia Ren recalled all the details when he first woke up, as well as the set that accidentally fell, and suddenly the chrysanthemum tightened.

But he was still not at ease, and continued to ask, "How many doctors are there in your hospital?" Count the one with S-Class clearance. ”

The doctor thought for a moment: "Count him two." ”

Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and out of caution, he asked again, "Is that Dr. Liao with S-class authority married?" ”

"I'm not married."

The doctor looked at Xia Ren like a Hanhan: "What I just said is that S-level clearance Doctor Liao." ”

The doctor said this and left.

Xia Ren's heart was also messed up.

"Are you alright?"

Tang asked with concern.

"No, it's fine."

Xia Ren felt his legs go a little weak.

"What has Dr. Liao done to himself?"

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

Originally, his body was weak, but now that he had suffered such a severe mental blow, Xia Ren could barely stand.

Seeing this, Tang Tangtang stepped forward and gently held his arm.

When the two touched, they were separated by clothes, but Xia Ren could still feel a chill passing down Tang Tangtang's palm.

"Why are you so cold?"

Xia Ren noticed that the temperature was about twenty degrees now, but his clothes were a little thick, and he was wearing a coat outside.

Tang Tangtang sniffed and said with some embarrassment: "The doctor told me that this is the sequelae left by the previous battle, my body temperature has been around thirty degrees for unknown reasons, and they have been researching, but they can't find any way to treat it for the time being, but fortunately, my physique is relatively strong, so I can resist." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

Xia Ren's tone was a little stunned.

Tang Tangtang was knocked unconscious by the Son of the Wind at the beginning of the key battle, and although he was lucky to survive, it was not unaffected.

Itakuya's true body descended, polluting every grain of yellow sand in the air, and Tang Tangtang, who was in a coma, was naturally not spared.

Even the S-level Yi Zhiyu, after the battle, his intelligence deteriorated for a short time, and his body injuries were even more serious, and Tang Tangtang, who was far from S-level strength, was able to escape death, which was already great luck.

However, in fact, the sequelae of lower body temperature are actually very serious.

The first thing it brings is the decline in combat effectiveness, the original body temperature of about thirty-seven degrees is the best body temperature for human beings, at this temperature, whether it is the agility of the body or the metabolism, it is in the most balanced position, and now the lack of body temperature directly leads to a serious decline in Tang Tangtang's speed of action, and his strength is not as good as before, he now has to warm up for at least ten minutes before he can barely return to the previous level.

The drop in body temperature also led to problems with Tang's immune system and digestive system.

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

Before entering the S-level, Yi Zhiyu was extremely painful every time he ate, and he had to eat a lot of food all at once, but because there was no assistance from other bacteria in the body, his digestion ability was seriously reduced, and some trace elements and even vitamins could not be obtained from food, which slowly caused his skinny and thin body.

After the bacteria in his body are gone, probably one of the few benefits is that he does not have to be bothered by dandruff and does not suffer from tooth decay.

And later, with the assistance of [Gardener's Blood], Yi Zhiyu successfully entered the alienation stage, and his strength was also promoted to S rank, and his body was out of the human category, which finally got rid of the negative impact of before.

But Tang Tangtang is not as strong as his master.

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

This world is sometimes so unreasonable, Itakuya's goal is Xia Ren, he never cared about Tang Tangtang from beginning to end, just because of his appearance, Tang Tangtang had to suffer such serious consequences.

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

As he himself said, fortunately, his physique is relatively strong, so he can resist.

……

……

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

But his body is still weak, and he feels tired when he moves, so he doesn't go to many places, and most of the time he rests in his ward, anyway, someone delivers food, and it tastes good, so he honestly has been an otaku for two days, and he doesn't even care about the update, and plans to write it when the manuscript runs out.

During this period, he also contacted Qin Yun twice, and the situation in Dongpu City was gradually recovering, although the phenomenon of swarm flying had occurred, the Foundation and the Superman Association were still closely monitoring, and the control of atypical insect phobia was not optimistic.

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