Chapter 50 (1/2)
Sue had a confused dream.
In her dream, she was chasing after the adulterer who had betrayed her father.
Sue was running along a gray road lined by crooked old trees and pointed grey-white houses.
Strange figures were watching her silently from behind the trees and the house.
Though he could hear nothing, he knew they were laughing at him.
Up ahead, the figure walked slowly and unhurriedly.
However, no matter how much he increased his speed, he would never be able to catch up to this shadow.
Anger and self-blame filled Su Su's mind. In her dream, she let out a shrill cry. Her one-handed sword flashed in her hand and a silver light shot out like a javelin towards that person's back.
The figure in front slowly turned his head around, and his face changed to Zero's.
The sword entered Zero's body, causing blood to instantly appear on his thin body.
”No!”
Sue cried out in alarm.
The dream disappeared. Su Ming opened his eyes and looked like he was in the middle of a burning red sky.
She sat up, sweat mixing with blood, making Sue feel sticky.
The last scene before he fainted was the Spider Queen sending a powerful sonic boom towards him.
Upon thinking of this monster, Su Ming's eyes began to focus on it.
She found herself sitting under the track, next to Zero, who was leaning against the wall of the platform, looking very weak.
She wanted to move her body, but as soon as she moved, the blood vessel tissue that was destroyed by the sonic boom mixed with blood once more.
She let out a soft groan, and Zero's ears twitched. When he heard Sue's voice, he opened his eyes.
In the field, the Spider Queen was gone.
But the irregular mass of flesh and blood, the internal organs and the broken shells, made the shadow of the monster faintly visible.
The old drunk was poking his way through the Spider Queen's body, but he didn't know what he was looking for.
”You killed him?”
He had never been able to link the fact that he was weaker than the mercenary group to the fact that he had killed the Spider Queen.
His ears had not yet recovered from the destruction of the sonic boom. To his ears, the sound of his voice was a meaningless note.
But from the shape of her mouth, he understood what she meant.
He nodded and continued, ”Apparently, the tissue of that thing is not as sturdy as the surface of its body.”
With that, Zero closed his eyes again.
He was weak. The Spider Queen's sonic booms had damaged nearly half of his blood vessels, and in the final explosion, at least three of his ribs had been broken. His internal organs had also been damaged or displaced to varying degrees.
Fortunately, he was not only a Monster Hunter, he was also an expert on battlefield first aid. He had already given Zero a simple treatment.
For the time being, it wouldn't die, but it would take at least a week to recover.
The more troublesome part was his zero eardrums. After receiving the Spider Queen's sonic boom, he was almost half deaf. It was quite difficult for him to recover by relying on his own body.
But at this level, it's not hard to repair a damaged eardrum, as long as you can afford it.
Zero relaxation of the body, this state is conducive to the body self-recovery.
To his surprise, Zero's self-recovery ability was surprisingly strong.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already the middle of the moon, and most of Zero's wounds were already mostly healed.
The damaged blood vessels and tissue had been repaired once again. There were at least a hundred thin wounds on his body, and only pink flesh gaps remained.
If he were to take the X-ray now, he would find that the broken ribs were basically fixed, and the scars on them would completely disappear in two or three days.
Now all that remained was hearing problems in the ears. It would probably take some time to recover.
Even so, such a fast recovery rate surprised Zero.
This made him think of Hans, but Hans recovered even faster.
He pushed himself up against the wall. He could walk on his own legs, though he was not yet capable of strenuous exercise.
On the other hand, the wound on the woman's body hadn't even closed yet, and blood still seeped out from time to time.
