Chapter 31: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
The light was a little dazzling, Su Ming subconsciously tilted his head to the side, this action led to the injury in his chest, and the pain in his chest and abdomen made him sober up.
When I opened my eyes, this was a ward, and the sunlight outside shone on Su Ming's face through the gap in the curtains. The upper half of his body was wrapped like a dumpling, and his left arm was also splint.
"What about you?" Su Ming asked on the team channel.
Tang Tian and Duanmu Zong pushed open the door and came in from the outside, "You're awake." Tang Tian walked over.
"Are my bones right?" Su Ming asked, the feeling of weakness from last night had subsided, and it felt like being injected with an anesthetic, and the muscles in his whole body were gone.
"That's right, the doctor helped you get a blood transfusion from the bone. I've been helping you with your treatment, and you'll probably be able to recover by night. Tang Tian said.
Su Ming moved his left arm slightly, the pain was not so obvious, the internal organs seemed to have been repaired, and the abrasions on his face had healed.
"Salvation!"
Tang Tian took out another sip of milk from Su Ming, Su Ming felt a cool vitality flowing in his body, and the wound on his chest began to itch.
"What do you think of the fourth phase of the main quest?" Su Ming asked while lying on the bed.
"We haven't started looking for Bingert yet, and she's certainly not dead." Tang Tian said.
"I wonder how Kuru would feel if he knew the news." Duanmu Zong smiled strangely.
"I see that the punishment in the fourth stage is none, what does that mean? Are we okay if we don't complete this mission? Tang Tian looked at the taskbar curiously.
"You haven't encountered this kind of task?" Su Ming was puzzled by Tang Tian's words.
Tang Tian shook her head, the first two times she encountered were side quests, and the punishment was light with less oil and water. Failures deduct up to some attributes.
"The main quest can't be abandoned, and this punishment means that if we fail, we'll die, and we don't need to make a move from the Void." Duanmu Zong and Tang Tian explained.
"And what if we don't go to Binget?" Tang Tian turned his head to look at Duanmu Sect.
"I guess there are two possibilities, one: we are directly obliterated, and two: Bingert comes to us." Duanmu Zong replied.
"So it's impossible to dodge, either we'll go to Binget, or Bingert will come to us." Su Ming said.
Tang Tian added blood to him again, and Su Ming felt that the scratch on his chest had completely healed.
"Oh my God, my mana is running out again." Tang Tian put away the shepherd's war, she had been helping Su Ming treat this night, and her aura had been turned on.
Su Ming tried to get up from the bed, and after standing on the ground, there was no discomfort except for some pain in his ribs. Su Ming put on the Juggernaut Cloak, and this equipment can also slowly restore health.
After Su Ming left, the doctor who came to check saw the three Su Ming who had just left, and he just wanted to call Su Ming, but the other party's footsteps were steady, how could he look like a puddle of mud when he first came.
The hospital was not far from the government office, and the three of them walked for a few minutes to the inside of the institution.
"Go to Kuru first?" Duanmu Zong asked.
"That's right, Binget's body was disposed of by him." Su Ming and the three of them walked down the hall towards Kuru's office.
When he came to Kuru's office, Kuru was unexpectedly absent.
"Let's wait for a while, by the way, the box that the boss exploded last night hasn't opened yet." Tang Tian took out the box from the team space.
"You can go."
"Trust me so much~" Tang Tian twisted a little, and Duanmu Zong rolled his eyes.
[Tang Tian (team member) has opened the items dropped by the infected person (mother). 】
[Tip: The following items are already stored in the team space.] 】
【Crazy Corpse (Perfect) Bloodline/Bloodline/Inheritance】
【Life Burst (Skill Book/Scroll)】
【Zombie Virus (Initial)】
【Usen】
【Raw Meat: 1st Order】
“……”
“……”
"Can you open five things in one box?" Duanmu Zong and Su Ming looked at each other, Su Ming shook his head, he had only opened it a few times, and he didn't know the doorway of the box.
"Wow! Lady Luck is in love with me! Tang Tian almost grew his tail to the sky.
The box dropped by Bans yielded a perfect Zombie Bloodline, a skill book, a Corpse Virus Elixir, a dagger, and a material.
Su Ming was more concerned about the skill book of the burst of life, and he checked it, and the skill was a passive and active double blood return effect.
"Su Ming, you pick first, this time it's up to you to be in front." Duanmu Zong said.
"Yes, you choose first." Tang Tian has no opinion.
[Hint: You have already bid on Life Burst (Skill Book/Scroll), and the current auction price is 10 Void Coins.] 】
[Hint: Tang Tian (team member) has given up the auction.] 】
[Hint: Duanmu Zong (team member) has given up the auction.] 】
[Hint: You have gained Life Burst (Skill Book/Scroll).] 】
"I'll just need this skill book, and you can take the rest." Su Ming looked at the skill book of the backpack contentedly, this was the most valuable thing among the items dropped by Bans, and he had a clear conscience when he took it.
The order of value of the items dropped in the Ethereal quest is usually skill > equipment> materials ≥ consumables.
【Life Burst Lv 1】
Category: Skill Book/Scroll
Requirements: Constitution 5.
Effect: Passively restores 1% of max HP per minute after learning this skill (no cost), and 10% of max HP per minute (consumes 1 mana to restore 1 HP) after active activation.
[Usage Restrictions: This skill actively activates and consumes its own energy value, and after the energy value is emptied, the active effect of this skill will be forcibly turned off.] 】
Su Ming took a look at the introduction of the skill, and then he did not hesitate to confirm the study directly.
[Hint: You have mastered Life Burst Lv1.] 】
He directly activated the active skill, and then felt a strange energy in his body slowly disappear.
According to the conversion of the blood volume of the 6 physique, Su Ming has about 600 HP, because of the injury of the fracture, Tang Tian has not been able to fill Su Ming's HP, and now he only has 80% HP. That kind of damage can either be repaired in an instant when it returns to the Void Realm, or Su Ming slowly recovers by himself.
600 HP regenerates 10% per minute, which is 1 second to recover a little. This ability seems to be a chicken rib for the time being, but Su Ming remembers Bans's perverted resilience. If this skill can be promoted, then sooner or later it can grow to the level of Bans, or even stronger.
Su Ming's mana is 10 seconds to recover a little, and it seems that he needs to buy some mana potions in the future. Life burst also has an unparalleled advantage, Su Ming found that this skill can restore the damage of broken bones, and his health is rising little by little.
Kuru didn't know when he would come back, and Su Ming and the three of them sat in the office and waited boredly.
Su Ming saw that there was a + sign behind the level of the Life Burst Skill, and he clicked curiously.
[Hint: Does it increase Health Burst Lv2.] 】
[Hint: The current boost costs 100 Void Coins.] 】
Su Ming confirmed the promotion, and he wanted to see what effect it would have after the promotion.
[Hint: Life burst has been prompted to Lv2.] 】
Su Ming took a look at the changes in his skills, the passive effect became 1.1% of the maximum health per minute passively restored, and the active effect became 11% of the maximum health per minute.
When Su Ming saw it, he directly improved it by 9 levels in a row.
[Hint: Life burst has been prompted to Lv3.] 】
[Hint: Life burst has been prompted to Lv4.] 】
……
[Hint: Life burst has been prompted to Lv11.] 】
After consuming 1000 Void Coins, the passive effect has now become 2% health regeneration per minute, and the active effect has become 20% health regeneration per minute.
Seeing this effect, Su Ming's eyes flashed with joy, and his ability to burst out of life was far beyond his imagination.
Regenerates 20% of max health per minute, which is now 2 per second. However, this ability is restored according to the maximum health, and the higher Su Ming's health, the more the proportion of recovery.
There are still about 4,000 Void Coins left, and Su Ming intends to continue to improve.
[Hint: Does it increase Health Burst Lv12.] 】
[Hint: The current boost costs 1000 Void Coins.] 】
Seeing this prompt, Su Ming turned off the prompt bar expressionlessly. The health value was full in about 2 minutes, Su Ming moved his arm without any jerky feeling, and the strange feeling in his ribs disappeared completely.
"I'm restored!" Su Ming checked his 100% health and got up to look at Tang Tian.
"I'll go! Isn't that the effect of that burst of life? Tang Tian's eyes widened.
"Bans's ability is really six batches." Duanmu Zong looked at Su Ming in surprise, and there would be one more Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed in the future.
"What are you talking about?" Kuru walked through the door, bag of papers in his hand.
"emm......" Tang Tian didn't know how to speak.
"We wanted to see Binget's body, and yesterday I heard that someone had seen someone who looked like her." Su Ming turned to look at Kuru, he felt that the bandages and splints on his body were awkward.
“???” Kuru had just sat down in his seat when he heard Su Ming's words with a question mark on his face.
"You mean Bingert may not be dead, and he lied to me again?" Kuru threw the file bag on the table with a "snap", and stared at Su Ming with a pair of eyes.
"Yes......" Duanmu Zong explained in a low voice.
……
There was an eerie silence in the air, and a soldier at the door wanted to come in and report. Seeing Su Ming and Kuru staring at each other, they left with wide eyes.
"If my information is wrong, I am willing to apologize in public." Su Ming said confidently.
Kuru stood up from his seat with a "poof", and Duanmu Zong thought he was about to make a move, ready to take out the staff from his backpack. Kuru got up and walked to the door, and Su Ming and the three followed.
Queen Mary Hospital, Morgue.
Su Ming and Kuru were led by a doctor to the door of the morgue.
The morgue was eerie inside, and when the door opened, a cold air came to the face. Queen Mary Hospital is also a medical institution specially approved by the government to be electrified, and the armies of various countries in the world have begun to cleanse the outside world on a large scale.
The doctor came to a morgue and pointed to the iron cabinet in front of him.
"Open." Kuru said.
The doctor pulled out the morgue cabinet, and everyone looked inside, and it was empty!
"What about the corpses?" The doctor asked, wide-eyed.
"Isn't the corpse in your custody? What the are you asking me?" Kuru roared.
"Could it be that someone came to steal the body? Who would do that? The doctor muttered to himself, confused.
Kuru turned around angrily, and Su Ming and the three of them also left.
"Where are Binget's two accomplices, Jock and Kate?" Kuru, who returned to the government agency, asked his men.
"Report sir, they're all in the cell." The soldier replied.
"Bring it here!"
Unkempt Kate and Jock were taken to Kuru's office, and both of them stood in front of Kuru and Su Ming with shackled faces and haggard faces.
"Bin! Case! Special! At! Where?" Kuru's tone was filled with shame and questioning.
"Kuru, what are you talking about? If you want to kill us, why bother so much?" Jock said with a frantic look on his face that he had been arrested by Kuru's men when he returned from checking on Bans.
"Bingert is crazy, are you crazy too? Hey! You're a good match. Kate smiled grimly.
"Two dead bugs, looks like you need some help. Drag it down and loosen their muscles! Kuru said with a grim face.
A few soldiers were about to make a move, but Su Ming raised his hand to stop them.
"Binget cheated to death, and that night we saw her die of poison, which was actually a golden cicada coming out of its shell. The disappearance of the body in the hospital is the best proof of this. Su Ming said to the two.
"Is she really not dead? I didn't expect even me to be deceived......" Jock thought as he looked down.
"Cunning little Binget, she definitely doesn't give up and wants to save her lover, hehehehe......" Kate's low laugh was uncomfortable, and a soldier smacked him on the back with the butt of his gun before he was silenced.
"Whoever tells Binget's whereabouts, I can pardon you, the government grants it! Publicly announced. Kuru's eyes were full of anxiety and anticipation......
"Looks like Bingert really isn't dead......" Jock's eyes looked at Kuru between the messy hair.
"Tut-tut!" Kate let out a playful laugh, and neither of them said anything about Binget's whereabouts.
Either the two are willing to give up the hope of getting out of Binget, or no one knows about Binget's death.
