Chapter 101 Are You Thirsty?
In another place, about 5 kilometers east of Hikaru’s group.
This place was an abandoned factory, inside the warehouse, a saucer-like device lying on the ground suddenly emitted a blinding light.
Immediately, Rakan appeared in this place. He lay on the ground, panting, the likelihood of him surviving was like a giant bell that was tied by a small thread.
Whenever the thread breaks, the bell will fall, and Rakan’s life will also end.
“System… activate recovery mode.”
[Ding! Initiate connection to prepared resources.]
[Ding! Activate recovery mode.]
At this moment, the cube that was floating in front of Rakan suddenly stretched out and countless tentacles emitting blue light, headed towards the wall of the warehouse.
BAM!
The tentacles immediately smashed through the wall, revealing a secret room about 20 square meters.
Inside that room were a lot of crates, the crates filled up that room. The tentacles seemed to know which crate they needed.
Then, the tentacles connected to the crates placed in the deepest part.
The cube now stretched out another tentacle. This tentacle had a sharp needle-like tip that pierced Rakan’s chest .
“Ah!!!” Rakan cried out in pain.
However, at this moment he suddenly remembered the scene of Hikaru holding Aiko in his arms.
He remembered Aiko’s eyes filled with contempt and disgust.
Those memories made him so angry that he forgot the pain.
“Aiko… Hikaru… I will come back… I will do to you a hundred, a thousand times what you did to me.”
Rakan gritted his teeth, his face was terrifying. Moreover the blood and sweat in his face made him look even more terrifying like a demon.
At this point, the liquids from inside those barrels went through the tentacles, turned into a strange liquid and pumped into Rakan’s body.
“AAAA!!!” Rakan cried out in pain, but his hatred helped him endure this terrible pain.
[Ding! Beginning the body’s regeneration process.]
[Ding! Preparing to join bones.]
Rakan clenched his teeth and nodded.
The three tentacles spewed out 3 joints that resembled prosthetic bones, hammering into Rakan’s severed bones.
“AAAA!!!!”
Although the cube had injected some anesthetic into his body, it was still not enough to completely eliminate the pain.
Rakan howled miserably, the pain making him feel like he was about to pass out.
[Ding! Please stay awake, if you lose consciousness it will cause danger to your body.]
Rakan heard the System speak and bit his lip, using another pain to keep himself awake.
Moments later, the three joints were completely implanted in the bone where Hikaru had cut off.
Sweat soaked Rakan’s clothes, he gasped, feeling like he was about to pass out from the pain and exhaustion.
Things hadn’t finished yet.
The tentacles of the cube began to take the parts that were severed by Hikaru.
During the explosion, the cube collected the body parts of Rakan that were severed by Hikaru and preserved it very well.
Tentacle fibers surrounded the wound, secreting extremely small filaments.
After that, the tips of those tentacles turned into sewing needles, which started sewing his arms and legs.
The process was less painful, and plus the anesthetic the cube had already injected, Rakan felt much more relieved.
About 10 minutes later, Rakan’s arms and legs were stitched together.
[Ding! End of body regeneration. However, the owner needs to rest for at least 15 days so that the joints of the bones and the flesh can heal.]
[Ding! During this time period, every day, the system will pump some special nutrients into the body to maintain the owner’s vital energy at maximum.]
Then, the cube’s tentacles carried Rakan inside the mysterious room.
It automatically opened a crate, inside there was an air mattress. The air mattress unfurled, and the tentacles gently placed him on top of the air mattress.
Rakan breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered: “Disguise another wall over the warehouse.”
[Ding! Camouflage has begun.]
The cube immediately created a curtain of light, obscuring the entrance to this mysterious room.
If you look from the outside, you can only see a normal wall. But Rakan lying inside the room could clearly observe the situation outside.
This time, he relaxed his body and took a deep breath.
‘Damn it! Fortunately, I prepared a place to hide the reserve resources.’
‘Hahaha… surely that bastard Hikaru and Aiko wouldn’t have thought that I would create a secret place like this.’ .
‘Fortunately, I was careful, and I anticipated that one day, Aiko would betray me. I also anticipated that one day my life would be threatened.’
‘In this room there are enough medical supplies, medicine and food that can enable me to live for 1 month.’
‘My wound needs 15 days to fully heal, during this time, I can’t go out or move.’
‘I also anticipated this, so I installed a plan to help me escape and a program to recover my body.’
‘Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll die in front of those two bastards.’
‘Alright. During this time I need to think about a plan so I can stock up on more supplies and food.’
‘As for revenge… huh! Let those bastards have some fun for a while. Then… I’ll let them feel the pain they’ve caused me.’
…
In the afternoon, the sky that was already dark was now even darker.
In a supermarket about 2 kilometers away from the blast site. Hikaru sat with his back against the wall, thinking about many things.
Currently, he has collected all the food and supplies in this supermarket.
Hikaru wanted to continue to another supermarket but it was getting dark, and it would be dangerous to stay outside.
He didn’t know if there were monsters or zombies out there that had evolved beyond his understanding like that armored Zombie.
That’s right, that special armored Zombie seems to have human-like intelligence, it could even learn to attack like a human.
If it can continue to grow or evolve, Hikaru feared… that it could become an existence at the top of the food chain.
Besides, he has another big problem to worry about…
BAM!
“Ack!” Hikaru was hit on the back with a hand by someone. Although he did not feel pain, he felt discomfort.
He turned his head and immediately saw Laylah: “What the hell are you doing?”
Seeing Hikaru upset, Laylah pouted: “Oy! I’m a pretty girl, can you stop being annoyed with me?”
Hikaru shrugged his shoulders, “No! If you can’t stand it, you can leave, and I’m not asking you to follow me.”
“Huh! Don’t think you can chase me away with that childish trick.”
After Laylah finished talking she sat next to Hikaru, leaned on his shoulder and said: “That cocktail-like bottle, do you still have it?”
Hikaru: “…”
Cocktail? Damn it! It’s evolutionary medicine! Not cocktail!
However, he could only sigh and say: “No, you think it’s a potato? I only have 1 bottle. Besides… that potion only works once, there’s no point in taking it again.”
“Stingy!” Laylah pouted, she certainly didn’t believe that Hikaru had only one vial of the solution.
Hikaru shook his head: “I find it difficult to understand. Before you used my power evolution potion, you were already strong, why were you so strong?”
“Heh?! Don’t you know the source of my power?” Laylah looked at Hikaru a bit surprised, then she seemed to realize something and added: “Ah! I forgot that you are not qualified to come into contact with that secret.”
“That secret?! What do you mean?”
Laylah nodded with a smile: “I mean… the source of my power, most of the great clans know if. If you don’t know it then that proves that Hodai didn’t see you as his heir.”
“Make it clear.” Hikaru frowned.
“Hehehe… if you want to know this information? You must offer a price that interests me.”
Hikaru shook his head: “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk, anyway, I’m not too interested in that matter.”
That’s right, although Hikaru was a bit curious as to why Laylah possessed such tremendous power even though she had never used the evolution potion.
It must be known that while in the hotel, her strength and speed were on par with his, no, to be more precise, she was even slightly stronger than him.
When he met her again at the beginning of the apocalypse, he also saw that she could easily hold a very heavy iron staff but swing it with the same ease as a light wooden stick.
This made Hikaru feel a bit surprised but also made him feel curious.
However, if Laylah didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t continue to care.
Hikaru thought that if the origin of Laylah’s power was due to human research, then there must be some imperfection.
To be more precise, side effects.
And the evolution drug that the system provides is the perfect product, with no side effects at all.
Therefore, he is not too concerned about the source of Laylah’s power.
Unless… Laylah’s powers can continue to grow or evolve, or even give her some superpowers.
At that time, Hikaru would be really interested in the source of Laylah’s power.
At this moment, Laylah pouted and said, “You… stingy!”
“That’s right. I am a miser!”
“Hikaru…” Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Laylah heard that voice and felt annoyed: “Huh! Your little mistress is here.”
Hikaru shook his head: “I said I’m not flirting with her, don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“Understand! I understand!”
At this moment, Aiko carried a few cans of water in front of her chest , and behind her was a large backpack.
Aiko came in front of Hikaru, glanced at Laylah with an annoyed expression on her face, and felt a little happy.
She looked at Hikaru, held the water can in front of him and said, “Are you thirsty? I brought you some water.”
Hikaru: “…”
