Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 One-on-One Coaching Training

Wanwan glared at Qi Hao and Xu Siming, then lifted her gaze to Zhou Kai, “Don’t worry, you won’t have any problems.”

In the post-apocalyptic world, when even a proper medical system didn’t exist, how could his amputated arm be possibly fine?

Zhou Kai gloomily hung his head without speaking.

Wanwan knew that an amputated limb couldn’t be away from the body for too long, or it would lose its vitality and be completely useless.

She grabbed Zhou Kai’s other hand and teleported back to the surgery room of the refuge.

Looking at the basic medical equipment in the surgery room, Zhou Kai’s crestfallen expression deepened.

With such a surgery environment, he better not hold out too much hope for his amputated arm.

Watching Wanwan clean his wound, Zhou Kai thought in despair:

Forget it, this woman has lots of supplies, and he has plenty of money, so might as well just freeload and await death here for the rest of his life.

She got him into this mess, so she had to take responsibility for him!

Never mind, if it can’t be healed, he’ll just have to depend on her from now on…

“Hiss…umm…”

Lost in wild thoughts, a sudden excruciating pain, like his flesh was being torn apart, shot through his arm. Zhou Kai’s vision darkened as he almost passed out.

What the hell?

The surgery had started already?

“It may hurt a little at the beginning, but it’ll stop in a bit, awoo.”

Wanwan’s crisp and sweet voice reached his ears, and Zhou Kai’s vision slowly cleared.

He saw the girl standing next to him with a serious expression, her hands firmly gripping the area of his amputated arm, her palms glowing with a faint green radiance.

True to the girl’s word.

After the severe pain caused by the regeneration of flesh at the amputated area, the newly repaired arm no longer hurt. Instead, waves of warmth replaced the pain.

The hollow feeling in his right arm vanished, and he clearly felt his arm reintegrate with his body, becoming one with the rest of him.

This was… superpower?

During his days at the refuge, he had heard bits and pieces about superpowers.

Thinking back on Xu Siming’s Ice Blade, Ji Xing’s controlled dagger, Xia Li’s speed and explosive power beyond human, and Wanwan’s Space Barrier that had pinned him, Zhou Kai immediately thought of those two words.

So the girl dared to act this way because she had a superpower to heal wounds?

No wonder the squad members dared to fight the undead hordes daily, with such hardcore support, they were fearless!

Zhou Kai felt wise about his choice once again.

Any resentment in his heart was replaced by dreams for the future.

It shouldn’t be too late to join the small squad now, should it?

He should be able to grasp a superpower quickly, right?

If he could learn a superpower, he wanted one with strong offensive capabilities, so he wouldn’t have to hold back in a fight!

Actually, a support-type wouldn’t be too bad either; it’s just not really matched with his temperament.

If he were lucky, like Wanwan, to comprehend two superpowers, that would be even better!

“Alright! Try moving it and see if there’s any discomfort!” The girl’s laugh was full of joy, “Without any surprises, there should be none~”

Interrupted from his daydreaming once again,

Zhou Kai snapped back to reality.

The amputated part had been completely repaired, with not even a scar to show for it.

He tried to throw an Inch Fist with great explosive power.

The sound of the air breaking could be heard, and the strength was no less than before!

The joy of regaining what he lost lit up Zhou Kai’s face.

“The arm has recovered nicely,” Zhou Kai said cheerfully, but when he looked up, he saw that Wanwan’s face had turned frighteningly pale.

She hadn’t been like this just a moment ago.

Zhou Kai’s smile tightened, and he quickly got off the operating table, “What’s wrong with you?”

During non-combat periods, Wanwan didn’t want to consume too many supplies on Equivalence Healing. Just a level 3 Equivalence Healing to repair an entire arm and treat minor internal and external injuries was still somewhat burdensome on Wanwan’s body.

She waved her hand, “I’m fine.”

The next second, she fell unconscious.

If it hadn’t been for Zhou Kai’s quick reflexes, Wanwan would have had a face-to-face encounter with the floor.

Zhou Kai: “…”

“Beep—”

The sound of an Authority Card being swiped came from the surgery room door. The four regular team members who walked back saw this scene, each with a different expression.

Xu Siming: This kid, taking advantage of Xiao Wan on his first day in the squad! I’m going to make things tough for him!

Qi Hao: ? Another home-wrecker?

Ji Xing: Whoa, Sister is so badass, bagging another one! I approve this guy as my brother-in-law!!!

Xia Li: It’s nice to be young, just fall asleep whenever. I want to sleep too!

…

The next day.

Ji Wanwan, exhausted from the day before, slept straight through to noon.

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria.

As soon as Xia Li arrived in the cafeteria, she grabbed a bowl and sat opposite Ji Xing, starting to devour the beef noodles voraciously.

Strange, despite being very hungry, why couldn’t she taste the original flavor of the food?

Watching Xia Li pour an entire bottle of vinegar into her bowl, Ji Xing: “…”

The scent was enough to make anyone’s mouth water, and Ji Xing instinctively shrank his neck: “Sister Xia, isn’t that too sour?”

Xia Li slurped a mouthful of noodles and frowned: “Even with all this, it still has no taste.”

Ji Xing: “…”

Great, Sister Xia has evolved her sense of taste away!

Seeing Xia Li reaching for another bottle of vinegar, he twitched the corner of his mouth and carefully reminded her: “Sister Xia, maybe the lack of taste has nothing to do with the vinegar?”

Xia Li put down the vinegar bottle somewhat irritably: “Where’s Haozi?”

Ji Xing: “?”

What does Haozi have to do with losing the sense of taste?

Thinking about Haozi’s usual habits, Ji Xing said uncertainly: “He loves to sleep in, might still be asleep now.”

Xia Li finished off her noodles in two gulps, pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth: “Fine, I’ll go find him.”

“Ah?” Ji Xing was baffled: “What do you need Haozi for, Sister Xia?”

Xia Li slightly lifted her hand and tossed the napkin in the trash: “Out of the five of us plus Zhou Kai who joined yesterday, Haozi is the only dead weight. I’m a bit irritated right now, I’ll take him out to vent on a pile of zombies.”

She stood up with her bowl: “Off I go, you enjoy your meal.”

“Pfft…”

Ji Xing, who had just taken a bite of rice, choked, coughing his head off while watching Xia Li leave the cafeteria.

What’s going on?

Why does it feel like Sister Xia has become more irritable?

Also, what does she mean by taking Haozi out to ‘vent’?

No, I have to tell Sister about this, better not let Xia Li cause any trouble!

Upstairs, room 302.

Qi Hao, half-asleep, rolled around with his blanket.

Even in the apocalypse, being able to sleep with a blanket that smells of the sun was truly a blessing.

And dreaming of a beautiful girl? Even better.

Wait, a beautiful girl?

Qi Hao’s drowsiness vanished in an instant, and he sat up abruptly on the bed.

“Holy shit! Xia Li, how did you get in here?!”

Watching Xia Li standing by the bed, looking formidable, Qi Hao let out a high-pitched yell.

The next second.

Xia Li threw his clothes at him covering his face: “Get dressed, you’re coming with me.”

Startled awake, Qi Hao grumpily protested: “Why should I? I didn’t even ask how you got in, and you’re already giving me orders?”

Xia Li’s beautiful eyes stared at him intently: “I have the authority card; I can enter this door whenever I want. As for you…”

She somehow produced a large knife, holding it in front of Qi Hao: “If you don’t obey, I’ll kill you!”

“I’m scared!” Seeing Xia Li’s serious and indifferent gaze, Qi Hao felt a twinge in his bladder, instinctively believing she was serious.

His face flushed red: “Go out first, I’ll change and come out immediately!”

Xia Li narrowed her eyes, seemingly trusting that he wouldn’t lie, then sheathed the knife: “Don’t dawdle, or I’ll beat you up!”

Qi Hao: “…”

…

No sooner had the two of them stepped out the door than Ji Wanwan arrived at Room 302.

After hearing from Qi Hao’s Grandma that he had already gone with Xia Li, Ji Wanwan felt a darkness wash over her.

After receiving a call from Ji Xing, she had rushed to find Ah Li, only to find Ah Li hadn’t returned to his room at all.

Without a moment’s delay, she went to look for Qi Hao, only to find she was a step too late again.

She immediately called Xia Li.

As soon as the call connected, Ji Wanwan asked: “Ah Li, where did you take Qi Hao?”

Xia Li: “Binjiang Park.”

Ji Wanwan: “What are you going there for?”

Xia Li: “I’m giving Qi Hao some one-on-one training.”
