Treatment

When Bai Yi was lifted by the aberrant demon, his unreliable Second Talent allowed him to sense a familiar rhythm.

So Bai Yi no longer hesitated and fired. This shot was his final killing blow.

And when he successfully fired and killed the Man in the Mist, he knew that he was destined not to die here today!

When Xie Xu arrived and saw Bai Yi's miserable state, he was both glad that he had made it in time and regretful that he had not come sooner.

With those two emotions tangled together, he could only force out a smile uglier than crying.

The moment he sent Wang Ziyi, Zhang Zhen, and Tang Zheng back to the shelter, Xie Xu first used reasoned words to persuade Li Zihua and Wei Fen to stay there. Then, without stopping for a moment, he rushed out to find Bai Yi.

In order to find Bai Yi quickly, he forcibly used his Talent several times, nearly allowing that existence to discover him again.

"Luckily, I made it in time!"

Xie Xu forced a smile as he took out the remaining two bottles of Sanity Recovery Elixir and every Wound-Healing Injection he had, using them on Bai Yi one after another.

The pain faded, and Bai Yi felt much better. With his last bit of strength, he took out the Emergency Medical Pod before falling unconscious.

When he woke again, he found himself in Wang Ziyi's shelter.

Li Zihua was examining his injuries with a grave expression, but his faintly trembling left hand revealed what he truly felt.

Wei Fen stood to one side with her head tilted, tears silently rolling down her face and pattering onto the floor.

When Xie Xu had first brought Bai Yi back, his horrific condition had left Li Zihua and Wei Fen frozen in place for a long time.

[Let's go. Treat your injuries at my shelter.]

Bai Yi struggled to stand up from inside the medical pod, and Li Zihua and Xie Xu hurriedly supported him from either side.

When they reached the portal, Xie Xu opened it for him. Bai Yi looked back, signaling for the others to follow, then stepped through first. Li Zihua and Wei Fen, meanwhile, helped Tang Zheng and Zhang Zhen up respectively.

Since Wang Ziyi could not leave the medical pod, Xie Xu could only carry it over.

The medical pod fit through perfectly. Bai Yi had anticipated this situation when he made it, so he had built it to match the doorframe.

The instant he returned to his shelter, the heart Bai Yi had been keeping suspended finally settled completely. His body went limp as he fell toward the ground.

The tentacles on the Flesh Fungus Mat suddenly stretched out, weaving and combining with one another to form a soft bed of flesh that gently caught him before carrying him toward the modification room.

The injured people supported by those who entered afterward were also taken over by the tentacles.

[Follow me.]

This was not Xie Xu and Li Zihua's first time here. Ignoring the twisting flesh around them, they followed Bai Yi directly.

Wei Fen merely stared blankly at everything around her. Her constantly trembling body showed just how frightened she was. In the end, she still gathered her courage and followed.

The modification room's door opened automatically, widening and heightening itself to ensure that the Emergency Medical Pod could enter normally.

At the same time, the modification room became larger. The original single operating station increased to eight, evenly arranged in two rows. The number of medical pods also increased to seven, lined up along one side.

By the time Bai Yi and the others entered, the modification room had already finished expanding. One operating table was raised in midair, connected to the hanging flesh membranes around and above it.

Lying in the nutrient fluid was Little White, whose body parts had all been dismantled into fragments. The enhancements were nearly complete, and it was about to be reassembled.

[You witnessed an evil modification scene. Sanity -3]

Even Xie Xu froze for a moment, while Wei Fen retreated again and again.

Li Zihua, however, reacted completely differently from the other two. He had already walked beneath the operating table, his sole remaining arm stroking his chin as he watched the modification process with rapt attention.

[This is the modification process. It's fine, it doesn't hurt.]

By then, Bai Yi had entered a medical pod with the help of the tentacles. Seeing Wei Fen's reaction, he comforted her.

"That's not the issue..."

Wei Fen forced a smile, then muttered softly.

Afterward, under Bai Yi's arrangement, they entered the medical pods one after another. Wang Ziyi and Zhang Zhen, whose injuries were too severe, were placed on the operating tables.

[It is now 09:14 in the morning. Next, we will all enter an hour of sleep, during which the medical pods will give our injuries preliminary treatment.

In one hour, everyone will wake up and return to their own shelters to ease the pressure brought by the abnormal status [The Displaced]. At the same time, restore the shelter durability reduced by [Dark Erosion].

Wang Ziyi and Zhang Zhen, I've already checked my shelter. It will be fine.

Li Zihua and Tang Zheng, there is no need to worry about your missing limbs either. I can regrow them here, guaranteeing they will be exactly the same as before, with no side effects.

It's safe now. You three don't need to stay tense all the time. Get some proper rest.]

After saying that, Bai Yi was the first to put on his mask. The nutrient fluid filling the medical pod slowly submerged him.

Seeing that Bai Yi had arranged everything, Xie Xu and Li Zihua also put on their masks as instructed and sank into sleep.

Only Wei Fen remained curled up inside her medical pod, her eyes tightly shut, too afraid to look at the constantly writhing tentacles within.

Bai Yi had only modified the Hibernation Pods he had sold. He had not altered the original medical pods, because doing so would cost flesh and bone points.

The mask bobbed in front of her for quite a while. Seeing that Wei Fen still refused to put it on, a tentacle extended outward.

At the very tip of the tentacle, a tiny eyeball rapidly differentiated. Upon seeing Wei Fen with her eyes tightly shut, it stretched forward and gently tapped her shoulder.

"Hmm?"

Feeling something poke her, Wei Fen opened her eyes in confusion and saw an eyeball floating before her.

"Ahhh—"

At last, this woman—who had always seemed incredibly strong, who had never shown fear in the face of all sorts of aberrant demons, and who did not even fear death—was frightened to tears by Bai Yi's shelter!

The medical pod descended into chaos!

Wei Fen desperately tried to break free of the tentacle's entanglement. She did not dare look at the tentacle at all, much less understand what it was trying to convey.

After a long while, the somewhat calmer Wei Fen finally reached an understanding with the tentacle and learned what it meant.

"Good thing they're all asleep!"

Recalling what had just happened, Wei Fen's face reddened.

She picked up the mask, looked at the tiny strands of flesh inside, shut her eyes, and put it on as though throwing caution to the wind. As the anesthetic gas sprayed out, Wei Fen fell asleep as well.

What Wei Fen did not know was that her actions had already been transmitted through neural signals from the eye at the tip of the tentacle into Bai Yi's medical pod. Wearing his mask but fully conscious, he witnessed the entire scene!

"Uh... everyone has something they're afraid of... that's normal... yeah!"

Bai Yi decided to bury the matter in his heart forever.

No one saw this. Really!
