Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 841: Chapter 72: Electrotherapy

Dusk Palace, seventh floor.

Cries of agony from the injured and the smell of blood filled the seventh floor, where contractors were seated, each wrapped in bandages.

”Boss, when’s dinner? I’m starving.”

A legless contractor leaned against the wall, chewing on something unknown, his jaw muscles exceptionally developed likely from regular chewing.

”Soon, just wait.”

A leader replied impatiently, surrounded by several other leaders engaged in a discussion.

”Boss, even if I die, let me die full.”

The legless contractor muttered, silenced by his leader’s glare.

Several leaders gathered around Yan Chen.

”The first wave of attacks successfully repelled. At our current rate of casualties, Apocalypse Paradise won’t last ten days. If we launch this kind of offensive daily, in at most five days, our numbers will far exceed theirs, allowing us to counterattack...”

As Yan Chen spoke, he noticed the leaders staring directly at him.

”What?”

”Brother Yan Chen, your hand...”

One leader pointed at Yan Chen’s hand, looking troubled.

”My hand?”

Yan Chen raised his crystallized left arm. He had taken a potion to remove the abnormal state, with little effect, but signs of recovery were visible; crystallization wasn’t an irreversible process.

Upon raising his crystallized left arm, Yan Chen saw large cracks forming, ready to shatter at any moment.

For a close combat Demon Spearman like Yan Chen, losing an arm was no small matter, severely reducing his combat strength.

The OL-dress beauty beside Yan Chen swiftly placed her hand hovering over his arm.

”Boss, no alert received?”

With pink energy emanating from the OL-dress beauty’s hand, it enveloped Yan Chen’s left arm, binding the cracked arm like glue.

”Milk Candy, come quickly.”

The OL-dress beauty shouted. In no time, a girl with a baby-faced appearance ran over, carrying a faint sweet scent.

”This is not good.”

Milk Candy examined Yan Chen’s left arm, realizing the gravity of the situation. She is the top healer under Yan Chen, proficient in healing skills + medical skill.

Most healers rely on skills, but Milk Candy is different. In the real world, she’s an intern doctor who combines healing skills with medical skill since entering Reincarnation Paradise.

”Is it serious?”

Yan Chen recalled Xi’s words earlier, ’Perhaps this meeting is our farewell.’

”Very, very serious; these crystals are gradually eroding your body.”

Milk Candy gestured for her allies; they erected a tent inside the seventh floor, marked with a red cross.

”Excuse me.”

Yan Chen approached the tent, suddenly someone spoke.

”If no other options work, come find me.”

Su Xiao, absorbed in playing a game on a tablet, called out. Reincarnation Palace surrounded by contractors, treasure chest hunting was out of the question; gaming was his way to pass time.

Yan Chen paused at Su Xiao’s words, Milk Candy pursed her lips.

”Brother Bai Ye, do you have a solution?”

”I do, but it’s not gentle. If you were a Mage, it would be impossible. Fortunately, you’re not.”

Su Xiao’s fingers danced over the screen, solving increasingly difficult puzzles. He felt Yan Chen wasn’t a Mage from their first encounter; Yan Chen’s aura differed.

”What’s the solution?”

Yan Chen wasn’t worried about Su Xiao’s motives. In the trapped Reincarnation Palace, internal strife would be foolish.

”Electrical therapy.”

Arcing energy flickered at Su Xiao’s fingertips, prompting Yan Chen to instinctively step back.

”This thing... seems problematic.”

Yan Chen sensed that Su Xiao was holding more than electricity; it was an aura of annihilation, extremely unfriendly energy.

”So, wait until your allies are out of options before coming to me.”

Su Xiao continued playing his game. With Yan Chen being an essential ally, Su Xiao wouldn’t let him die. Yan Chen’s previous actions showed that they could collaborate regardless of his Sister Control hobby.

”Thank you.”

With gratitude, Yan Chen headed inside the tent.

”Professor Yang.”

Milk Candy made a face at Su Xiao and followed Yan Chen inside.

None noticed Yan Chen’s resolute steps toward the tent. Despite Milk Candy’s cute appearance and occasional mischievousness, she became a devil during surgery, her ruthlessness beyond imagination.

Once, when Yan Chen was gravely injured, Milk Candy removed his heart and crucial organs, using life support devices to sustain him until return. Yan Chen could never forget her swallowing gesture as she cut out his heart, not from fear but curiosity about its taste, whether to boil or sauté.

Milk Candy was the female Hannibal; how could Reincarnation Paradise have harmless, adorable contractor girls? Such girls were mostly Workers.

The OL-dress beauty went in and out of the tent several times, initially without issue, but eventually, faint bloodstains appeared.

Watching this scene, the leaders pondered thoughtfully.

Screams of pain echoed within the tent; Su Xiao, immersed in his puzzle game, hesitated as his game character was crushed by an institution, turning the screen black and white.

The tent flap lifted; Milk Candy, wearing dark green surgical attire, emerged with several blood spots on her pale face.

Milk Candy walked calmly to Su Xiao, bowing, ”Mister Bai Ye, our leader wishes to discuss something with you.”

”Hmm.”

Su Xiao rose; considering Yan Chen sent someone, Milk Candy must be unable to reverse his crystallization.

Su Xiao’s method involved a blunt approach, using Blue Steel Shadow Energy to annihilate the energy causing Yan Chen’s crystallization.

Su Xiao entered the tent, greeted by the smell of iron rust; the scent of blood was all too familiar.

Yan Chen lay shirtless on a simple hospital bed, about 40 cm high, with adjustable elevation.

Large areas on Yan Chen’s chest had crystallized into light red crystals, fused with muscle tissue; his left arm was fully crystallized, resembling a piece of art.

”Milk Candy says I have about 10 hours left to live.”

Yan Chen struggled to breathe; one lung had crystallized, the energy creeping like a relentless worm.

Su Xiao prepared to assess Yan Chen’s condition, but Yan Chen raised a hand, signaling for a moment.

”Bai Ye, did you deal with the Arrow Guy?”

The Arrow Guy Yan Chen referred to was Duke Lan.

”Dealt with.”

”Good.”

After pondering briefly, Yan Chen said, ”You’re strong. If I don’t survive, you’ll have to handle Xi. Those leaders are no match for Xi. Lucky Girl and Insect Woman can only delay Xi; Gray Bear is potent but too reckless.”

Yan Chen paused to take deep breaths.

”Also, the reason I’m like this is because I killed Xi once.”

”Killed Xi once?”

Su Xiao squinted. He previously learned Xi could resurrect eight times, owning nine lives. Yan Chen’s admission confirmed Xi’s resurrection ability.
