Chapter 236: Chapter 201: 70% Acquainted_1

"Are you really not from this world?" While eating, Chiang Wei still had her doubts about this matter.

"Of course I’m not."

"Then why are you meddling in the affairs here?"

Zheng Yichen, who was eating meat, choked: "Cough, it’s just the boss’s task, and you wouldn’t want this world to suddenly lose a whole bunch of people for no reason, right?"

"How would I know if what you’re saying is true or false until it gets to that point?" Chiang Wei rolled her eyes.

"I really hope it’s not true." Zheng Yichen laughed, but then the corner of his eyes involuntarily twitched as he looked at some of the wounds on his body. Some had healed, while others were still causing him ongoing harm.

He wouldn’t take the high-tech version of the ’Curse’ bullets anymore, but now he was hit by a high-tech ’Curse’.

It wasn’t any virus, it was freaking radiation from some kind of radioactive material!

Zheng Yichen could feel some of the wounds on his body burning painfully, and his health was rapidly declining: "Also, living in such a technologically advanced world is really too miserable."

"What are other worlds like?" Chiang Wei, looking at the fire in front of her, cradled a makeshift teacup in both hands and asked curiously.

"First of all, there are people." As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Yichen received a big eye roll: "Okay, besides people, the development of technology is diverse, with martial arts masters, witches, and different eras, too."

Zheng Yichen briefly recounted some of the worlds he had experienced, but the most troublesome were the high-tech worlds, especially those with high ’energy levels’ technology.

Those special ability disruptors were so tricky.

"It sounds fascinating, being free to travel to different worlds, you can also see the various scenes of different eras, right? Even if history is not the same." Chiang Wei said somewhat yearningly.

She had visited some museums and seen many ancient objects. Although these objects couldn’t compare to modern technology, they showed the creativity and inspiration of ancient people.

"Perhaps, but all the ones I’ve been to have problems. For instance, the one with the martial arts masters was like those biohazard worlds."

"Ah? There wouldn’t be any biohazard viruses in that kind of world, would there?" The ’Resident Evil’ movie series existed in this world too, but those movies were about viruses spread using some sort of black-tech. How could there be a biohazard crisis in the environment of the ancient past?

"It was a Demon Flower that affected all life in that world. It’s getting late; you should go to sleep."

"...Oh." Chiang Wei, still with a sense of longing, nodded and covered herself with a thin thermal blanket as she looked at the drying ground.

Zheng Yichen knew many things; the flames and the dried ground were created by some sort of power he possessed, which Chiang Wei heard him say was magic, but it wasn’t a Fire type special ability.

He was not proficient in magic; igniting a fire for cooking was more than sufficient, but not for combat.

Their location was inside a hollowed-out, large rock.

After watching Chiang Wei fall asleep, Zheng Yichen let out a breath and took some medicinal pills from the motorcycle and tossed them into his mouth. He had thought his preparation was ample this time, but now it seemed not enough. Next time, he would need to include medicine like anti-radiation pills.

Iodine tablets would be good, too.

"I don’t know if I’ll be killed by radiation or just molt after reaching a certain level." Zheng Yichen pressed on a wound on his arm, feeling a burning pain.

After a while, he braved the torrential rain and left their temporary hideout in the darkness of night. The sound of the downpour masked his footsteps, and his eyes glowed a faint red as he sought out and found each of the large creatures hiding in the area.

"Sorry..."

The rain seemed as if it would never stop. When Zheng Yichen returned, the downpour had not only not lessened but had grown heavier. However, his body remained dry; his Water type ability ensured the rain didn’t affect him any further.

Chiang Wei, clutching a briefcase, leaned against the rock wall and asked Zheng Yichen nervously, "Where did you go?"

"How did you wake up?" Zheng Yichen removed the meat hooked on the black spear, along with fish he had conveniently caught.

"The thunder was too loud." Chiang Wei’s anxiety lessened greatly after seeing Zheng Yichen sit down. Even though he hadn’t taken the motorcycle when he left, being in the wild during a storm without another person still had made her feel very insecure.

"The rain won’t stop for a while, but we still need to keep moving." Zheng Yichen expertly scaled the fish, then drew a Fire type magic array formation on the ground, and prepared to make the fish into jerky for easy transport.

Chiang Wei nodded: "Aren’t you going to rest? I’ve had enough sleep, and it might be better for you to get some good rest next."

"Alright." Zheng Yichen nodded: "Once this meat is processed, I can rest two or three hours."

The meat was easy to deal with, processed for better preservation, so flavor was not a priority. It wasn’t long before Chiang Wei, looking at Zheng Yichen resting against the rock wall, showed a hesitant expression. She didn’t have the problem of being careless; on the contrary, as a hacker, she paid great attention to detail.

```

Chiang Wei had already noticed some details about Zheng Yichen’s body, such as those injuries. The one on his shoulder that was previously severe had already healed. Such a wound on an ordinary person would require more than a month to heal properly, even with the aid of state-of-the-art medical technology.

Yet Zheng Yichen recovered in less than a day. If such a severe wound could heal quickly, with enough food providing the necessary nutrients, his other minor injuries should have healed rapidly as well, but some of Zheng Yichen’s wounds had not healed over time.

There was a problem with the injuries that Zheng Yichen suffered.

"Wake up, time’s up." After the appointed time arrived, Chiang Wei hurried over and nudged Zheng Yichen, deliberately touching his injured spot with her hand. She felt that the temperature of the skin where Zheng Yichen was injured was extremely high!

"Oh..." Zheng Yichen opened his eyes and yawned lightly, "Still can’t sleep casually, I can be very alert when I don’t sleep, but once I do, I’m dead tired."

He rubbed his eyes and washed his face with a water orb he conjured in his hand, cut a piece of previously processed meat to reheat, and sprinkled some seasoning on it before eating heartily.

Chiang Wei ate her share of food absentmindedly.

"Is there a problem?" Seeing the girl staring at him all the time, Zheng Yichen asked.

"What’s the deal with your wounds? And since you got injured, your hair hasn’t grown at all," Chiang Wei said as she gently tugged at her own long hair. Zheng Yichen’s hair used to grow quickly, but it stopped growing after his wounds failed to heal normally.

What originally would have been considered abnormal in a regular person became normal in Zheng Yichen. However, when such an abnormality became normal for him, it turned out to be the biggest abnormality.

"Are you that concerned about me?"

"There’s only you beside me, who else should I pay attention to, a rock?"

"It’s probably the influence of some kind of radiation." Zheng Yichen pulled back a bandage on his arm. The scar left by a grazing bullet had healed, but a red mark abnormal in color compared to the rest of his skin was extremely conspicuous. Chiang Wei looked closely and could see that the skin around the red mark looked uneven compared to the normal skin.

It looked as if it was about to blister and rot.

"Your healing ability is of no use?"

"Useless." Zheng Yichen tossed an amulet to Chiang Wei, "Carrying this with you can enhance the healing ability, it’ll come into effect if you get injured, but it also increases your own consumption, you get hungrier more quickly."

However, Zheng Yichen already possessed a healing ability himself; the amulet merely gilded the lily. Even if he wore a whole bunch of them, they would only suppress the effects of radiation, simply put, he was now afflicted with a continuous bleeding BUFF that was difficult to dispel.

His healing power was able to balance out the bleeding rate, but although the bleeding BUFF wouldn’t intensify, having this abnormal status would affect his health bar limit!

Normal bleeding was one thing, but he couldn’t afford his health bar limit to drop.

Chiang Wei wanted to give the amulet back to Zheng Yichen, but he waved his hand, "It’s a gift to you."

"But your body..."

"I already have a special healing ability, this thing isn’t much help to me."

"Let’s hurry and go," Chiang Wei wiped her mouth, saying urgently, "Get out of this place!"

Zheng Yichen nodded. In this area, they were only avoiding subsequent tracking. A heavy rain had been a great help, allowing them not to circle around for too long here; they could simply find an appropriate area to leave.

As he was leaving, Zheng Yichen casually pushed back a piece of stone skin beside him, restoring the surface of the boulder that had been dug out into a large hole. The traces left would be washed away by the rain afterward.

After leaving the area of strong magnetic fields with chaotic lightning, Chiang Wei immediately started searching for the information she had been looking for. The more she looked, the angrier she became. Her understanding of firearms and weapons was limited to what most people knew. She was not a military enthusiast.

But now, after carefully searching for the information she wanted, she learned about Zheng Yichen’s situation. Zheng Yichen’s wounds couldn’t heal completely because the enemy used a type of banned bullet. Dum-dum bullets were child’s play in front of this type. Whether it was in terms of lethality or cost, getting hit by this bullet virtually guaranteed that the victim couldn’t be cured, only delaying the inevitable death. People affected by this radiation wouldn’t have their body’s immune capability and regenerative capacity destroyed. It wouldn’t make one appear weak; on the contrary, it made one seem very healthy, even capable of ’curing’ some diseases ’without medicine’. But ultimately, the person would turn into a piece of ’cooked meat’.

"What did you find out?"

"...The good news is that the effects you’re suffering from won’t make you sick; instead, they’ll make you even healthier."

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is that you’ll end up like meat cooked to medium-well done, maybe with your internal organs a bit more cooked."

"That really is quite bad. Is there any way to treat it?"

"No current treatment, the best way would be cryofreezing to control the condition." Chiang Wei looked at the information on the projection screen in front of her, feeling disheartened.
