Chapter 173: Surgery Over
Cheng Cheng was the second person to walk out of the medical room.
With lingering fear in his heart, Cheng Cheng told everyone that the injury on his back was inflicted by a mutated pig. This creature, though it possessed the body of a pig, had claws like a pangolin, extremely sharp, and its body had a thick layer of fat. Bullets were ineffective unless fired from a close range. Moreover, it was surprisingly agile due to the slippery mud, and Yan Xiao and Zhao Wei were hit because they fell in the muddy ground.
—Yan Xiao’s wrist was bitten off by it. If Xiao Jian hadn’t been quick, that part of the hand might already be inside the pig’s stomach by now.
Cheng Cheng thoroughly described the human-faced, pig-bodied creature he saw, making sure to relay all details he thought were important before heading back to his room to rest.
After listening to Cheng Cheng, neither Han Yi nor Lu Changyuan looked good.
"We need to go again and figure out what this thing is," Lu Changyuan said to Han Yi. Without understanding it, they would still be in chaos if they encountered the creature again.
Killing it once and understanding its weaknesses would do much more to boost morale and bring people together than the current unease.
Han Yi nodded and said, "I will go myself tomorrow."
"Brother, I’ll go with you," Han Jiaojiao shook Han Yi’s arm, afraid he wouldn’t take her. She whispered in his ear, "My ’Ability’ might come in handy."
Han Yi smiled faintly and nodded in agreement.
