One step, two steps. At first, he was as slow as an old man, but gradually, his speed became faster and his movements became more stable.
After a few minutes, he was no different from an ordinary person. He could feel the pain in his body fading away, and his brain, which had felt like it was blocked, started to clear up.
At that moment, he felt as if he had taken off his thick armor and regained his freedom.
Obviously, this state could not last long.
As his Sensory Perception was depleting rapidly, he felt dizzy. His body instantly left the state of the Earth Pulse, and his emotions returned to his body. At the same time, his body was tired and in pain. Luo Yuan could not help but feel a little lost.
After a while, Luo Yuan came back to his senses and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.
He quickly opened the system's attribute panel.
The super recovery effect of the Earth Pulse was amazing. Although it had only lasted for less than half an hour, all his main attributes had recovered. His Strength, Physique, and Agility had all increased by one point, reaching eight points each. If he included the bonus from the Earth Special Ability, his Physique would be as high as thirteen points.
However, the bonus attributes were not an upgrade in essence. In a sense, it was like an additional status, like the superimposed aura in a game. Other than increasing his Endurance, it did not have any effect on his recovery.
Most importantly, although the condensation of his Will was still a little difficult, it was not as painful as before. His Sensory Perception had also spread naturally. Of course, due to the overuse of his Sensory Perception, it could only maintain a radius of five to six meters, but at least it showed that his brain was recovering quickly.
This kind of super self-healing did not come without a price. It required a large amount of nutrition or energy consumption. At this time, not only did he feel a long-lost hunger, but at the same time, the energy crystal core in his heart (taken from the energy of the flood serpent) had also melted by a small half.
"But it's enough!" Luo Yuan thought to himself as he clenched his fists and felt the growing strength in his body.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the closed iron door. A plate with steamed buns and a big bowl of water were pushed in through the small window under the iron door.
Wen Yujie recovered from her daze and took the food from the door. She placed it heavily on the empty space in front of Luo Yuan and picked up a steamed bun. She squatted in the corner and ate it. After a while, her eyes gradually became wet. She sniffed and continued to eat the steamed bun.
Luo Yuan was confused by her emotional state. "Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Luo Yuan would have been fine if he had not asked. Now that he had asked, he started to cry even more.
"I just … don't want to talk to you, you liar!" Wen Yujie sobbed and said hatefully.
She had been busy for the past few days, especially during the first few days when Luo Yuan had a high fever. She had to wipe his body more than 10 times a day. She did not stop even at night. Sometimes when she was taking a nap, she would hear Luo Yuan crying in his sleep that he was thirsty, so she had to get up and feed him water. When he woke up, his condition was naturally much better. However, he still lived in fear every day. He was afraid that he would completely lose his life.
He clearly had a special ability to recover quickly, but he didn't say anything, especially just now. Didn't he know how worried and nervous he was? At the thought of the grievances in her heart, Wen Yujie could not stop her tears from flowing.
Luo Yuan was stunned and said apologetically, "Actually, there are conditions for my recovery. It's not that I want to be lazy in bed all the time, but thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
Listening to Luo Yuan's seemingly polite but actually distant words, the girl felt a slight pain in her heart. Wen Yujie's face turned cold. She turned her head away and said while sobbing, "I don't need you to thank me. Even if it were someone else, I would have helped."
… …
After this episode, Luo Yuan could clearly feel that she was much colder towards him.
Although Luo Yuan vaguely understood it, he did not say anything. He had enough love debts. Not only Huang Jiahui and Zhao Yali, but even Wang Shishi's heart had been completely pinned on him. Not to mention Wang Xiaguang, who he had hurt to the point where she could not even be his friend. He really did not want to cause any more trouble.
Moreover, he was now in prison and in unpredictable danger. He really did not have the mood to be in a relationship.
After dinner, Luo Yuan quickly put this matter aside. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate in order to speed up the recovery of his Perception and Will.
His meditation was no longer restricted to the form. He could do it sitting or lying down. Not long after he closed his eyes, the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually quieted down.
Wen Yujie glared at Luo Yuan, who was sleeping like a dead pig after dinner. She then crawled into her bed and sat there in a daze. She regretted that she had not explained clearly to him earlier, which had caused him to misunderstand and leave a bad impression on him. She also felt that she was too cold to him and made him think that she was angry.
At that moment, her heart was full of knots.
…
At that moment, in another room.
The room was filled with smoke and cigarette butts all over the floor. The lingering smoke made people feel like they were at the scene of a fire.
"These days, the underground optical cable has been cut, and the satellite phone has been handed in with the reason that it needs to be re-encrypted. Coupled with the current electromagnetic storm, the Desert City is now invisible." The man in glasses laughed.
Su Yu nodded and said, "Very good. At least in the short term, it will not affect the stability of the people. When we are fully fledged, we will no longer have to worry about it."
He then looked at Lao Xie.
"Oh, the army is under control. Division Commander Liu is very cooperative." Lao Xie quickly threw away the cigarette and stood up. There was a faint smell of blood on his body. Obviously, he would not be peaceful.
"Eagle Eye, what about you?" Su Yu looked at an average-looking man with eyes as sharp as a falcon's and asked in a deep voice.
"These days, the government has been operating normally. We have publicly cleaned up a few of them. A few of them noticed something was wrong. Oh, it's the Shuanggui! The people who were jumping around are all gone. "Ying Yan frowned and said humorously.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Su Yu frowned. This was the first time he felt the lack of talents in his hands. Other than one or two, most of them were just a motley crew.
He knocked on the table and said, "Now we need to discuss the issue of the arrested evolved people. Lao Xie, have there been any escapes recently?"
"A battalion of soldiers is patrolling around the prison day and night. Those who are not convinced have been killed. Now, those weak chickens are very obedient," Lao Xie said proudly. He was a martial arts instructor before the end of the world. This kind of great power that was under his control made him, a martial arts instructor before the end of the world, extremely intoxicated.
"Although the methods are a bit cruel, we need to use severe methods in troubled times. Only when they know how strong we are can they be subdued. If Sister Mo's hypnosis ability was not ineffective on evolved people, we would not have to go through so much trouble," Su Yu said calmly. Suddenly, he remembered something. "We need to step up the investigation on the evolved people among the people. I don't want what happened last time to happen again."
When he finished his sentence, his face was full of murderous intent. He had never thought that there would be such a powerful evolved person in the small Desert City. If not for her lack of combat experience, even he would have lost his life in a moment of carelessness.
"I suspect that there is a mole in Desert City. Otherwise, they would have been found after such a long time," the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and said seriously.
"Let them continue to search and strictly control the distribution of food. Let them come out when they can't stand it anymore," Su Yu said coldly.
At this moment, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open. Sister Mo walked in as if there was no one else around. She took out a document and said seriously, "We have trouble!"
Su Yu took the document and looked at it. He said to himself, "Luo Yuan!"
Then he said coldly, "Find him immediately!"
...
In the middle of the night, Luo Yuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. The prison cell was pitch black.
He slowly sat up and tried to sense the position of the Zhanmadao. Just when he was meditating and his mind was the most sensitive, he suddenly sensed the breath of the Zhanmadao.
After a long period of immersion in his Will, he had left a mental mark on the blade. As long as it was not too far away, he could clearly sense it. He could even use the mental mark to vaguely sense the situation around him. Of course, it was very vague. He could only roughly tell if there were any large obstacles.
These few days, due to the injury to his brain, his mind was obscure. Therefore, he could not sense anything except for a vague feeling. It was only now that he could feel it clearly.
He could sense that the Zhanmadao was not far from where he was. It was about 500 to 600 meters away, at most 1,000 meters.
He hesitated, wondering if he should recall it now. The Zhanmadao had long become a part of his body. It was like an extension of his blood. Especially after cultivating it in the Desert City, it could float and move according to his mind. However, its movement was slow and it did not have the terrifying power of the legendary "flying sword".
However, it was more than enough to recall it. Now, all he needed was a thought and the Zhanmadao would be in his hand.
He hesitated for a while and gave up the urge to recall it. His body had not recovered yet. Even if he had the Zhanmadao, it would not be of much use. Moreover, it could easily alert the enemy and cause unpredictable changes.
Then, he regained his calmness. He focused his Will and began to repair his body.
...
The next morning, as soon as the light in the prison was turned on, he immediately opened his eyes. He had been treated by the Earth Pulse before midnight, so after midnight, he was lying on the bed with an uncomfortable itch all over his body. He was a little restless, so when the light was turned on, he wanted to see what was wrong with his body.
There was a rustling sound coming from the upper bunk. It seemed that she was also getting ready to get up. Luo Yuan quickly said, "Wait a minute, I need to take off my clothes."
"Okay!" Wen Yujie answered shyly and lay down again.
When he was arrested, other than the knife and wallet, his clothes and the equipment inside were not taken away. He was still wearing the same clothes, which comforted him a little.
Speaking of which, he had quite a lot of equipment on him. His outer layer was a dark blue equipment that was made from the feathers of a Storm Bird. Although its level was not high and it did not stand out on Luo Yuan's body, it was still used because of its unique ability to balance the airflow.
Inside was a green grade bulletproof inner armor made of turtle eggshell. It had the ability of "Damage Reflection" and "Energy Absorption". As for the undergarment, it was the latest synthetic "Plasma Field Undergarment", which was also green grade. There was also the "Green Hidden Man's Horn" and the "Haunted Locust Heart", which had their own functions.
Luo Yuan took off his clothes and finally found the cause of the itchiness. After one night, his body was covered with dead skin. It looked like he had grown a lot bigger. His scalp tingled and goosebumps appeared on his skin.
The dead skin was almost all the dead cells in his body. As his body gradually recovered, his strong body began to return to normal, and the dead skin was excreted with vigorous metabolism.
Luo Yuan tried to tear the dead skin, but it sounded like a piece of cloth being torn apart.
The dead skin was quite tough. Due to the natural limitations of humans, their defense was much weaker than that of mutated beasts. However, the dead skin formed by Luo Yuan's 14-point Physique was still comparable to the skin of a light blue level creature. He only managed to tear a small piece of the skin off the wound, and he was already exhausted.
His strength had not recovered yet, so he was only slightly stronger than a normal person. It was still not comparable to when he was at full strength.
He took a deep breath and looked at his body helplessly, which looked like it had a serious skin disease. Luo Yuan suddenly felt that it was funny. He did not know whether to be proud or to laugh at himself. He did not even have the strength to hurt himself.
However, it was not long now. He only needed one or two more treatments to fully recover his body. By then, the small prison cell would not be able to hold him anymore.
