Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 227: Chapter 125: Awakening Two More People_3

Shi Haizhu’s expression froze, and he subconsciously raised his hands.

”My ability...”

He saw an earthy-yellow halo appear on his hands, visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the skin on his palms rapidly turned to stone.

In the blink of an eye, his hands looked like pieces of greenish-yellow stone.

Despite the visible veins, they also had a petrified appearance.

Liang Yuan saw this and couldn’t help but show a look of surprise, saying, ”Is this a petrification ability?”

Elder Lin also opened his mouth wide: ”Zhuzi, your surname is ’Stone,’ and you’ve awakened a petrification ability? This... what a coincidence!”

Shi Haizhu was also taken aback; he hadn’t expected to awaken such a strange ability in himself.

He opened his hand and didn’t feel any stiffness in his palms; instead, they moved as freely as before.

To the side, Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say, ”Why don’t you test its defensive power.”

Shi Haizhu nodded, looked around, and subconsciously grabbed the cup at the bedside.

He placed the cup between his two hands and then pressed down hard.

Creak!

The stainless steel cup was immediately squashed and cracked.

The broken edge appeared somewhat sharp.

Liang Yuan nodded: ”The strength has clearly increased. Try scratching your palm with the broken edge.”

Shi Haizhu got excited: ”I’ll give it a shot.”

He quickly used the deformed stainless steel cup, pressed the sharp edge against his fingertip, and pressed down hard.

Creak!

In an instant, the stainless steel cup twisted again, unable to harm him at all.

Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed: ”The defensive power has clearly increased significantly.”

”Try a knife.”

As he said this, a fruit knife suddenly appeared in his hand, which he handed to Shi Haizhu.

Shi Haizhu was also pleased: ”Let’s see.”

He also wanted to know just how powerful this mutant ability of his was.

With the tip of the fruit knife aimed at his petrified fingernail, he began to cut with force.

Screech——

The ear-piercing sound of metal grinding against stone echoed, yet only a faint white mark was left on Shi Haizhu’s fingernail, with sparks flying.

The sight before them stunned everyone, making them exclaim in awe.

”Wow, what amazing defense!”

”Shi Haizhu has also awakened a mutant ability, and the defense of his petrified skin is incredibly strong.”

”Doesn’t this mean he’s invulnerable to blades and bullets?”

”With this ability, even Deng Hu wouldn’t be a threat!”

...

Shi Haizhu, full of excitement, said, ”So strong. I feel like my fist is really hard; it seems like nothing can break it.”

He swung his fist, feeling the unique power.

Elder Lin was also ecstatic: ”That’s great, Zhuzi! With this ability, we won’t have to worry about another Deng Hu appearing again in Building 75.”

Shi Haizhu, with a flushed face, excitedly nodded: ”Daoist Lin, we won’t be afraid of Deng Hu anymore.”

”Deng Hu is already dead; why fear him? From now on, we need to worry about those frog monsters and other creatures in the water,” Elder Lin quickly said.

Speaking of the frog monsters, everyone snapped back to reality, and Shi Haizhu also thought of Yang Shenmin, quickly looking in her direction. He asked, ”What’s happening with Dr. Yang?”

Elder Lin, excitedly, said, ”Mr. Liang said Xiaoyang also awakened a mutant ability, but she hasn’t woken up yet for some reason.”

Liang Yuan said, ”During his awakening, he was injured by the frog monster, with a fracture in his back. We don’t know if it will affect his spinal nerves.”

”What!”

”How could this happen!”

Elder Lin and Shi Haizhu’s expressions changed, and they looked at Yang Shenmin with nervous faces.

”It won’t.”

Suddenly, Yang Shenmin, who had her eyes closed, opened them and spoke slowly.

Everyone was overjoyed instantly.

Shi Haizhu hurriedly got out of bed, saying, ”Dr. Yang, you’re awake!”

”Xiaoyang, you’ve finally woken up. How do you feel?” Elder Lin also hastily showed his concern.

Yang Shenmin didn’t get up; she still lay there, smiling bitterly: ”My left scapula seems to be broken, but it’s not serious. It’s a bone fracture with some slight displacement. Can someone help to set it? It will heal quickly.”

”Ah? Set the bone?”

Elder Lin quickly shook his head, looking at Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai: ”Mr. Liang, Mr. Zhao, do either of you know how to do it?”

Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai didn’t possess such skills and shook their heads one after another.

Shi Haizhu also shook his head, indicating he couldn’t help either.

Everyone present looked at each other in dismay.

Yang Shenmin frowned involuntarily. Bone setting isn’t too difficult, but it’s not simple either.

It’s a discipline within traditional Chinese medicine and usually requires some experience.

His skill in traditional Chinese medicine was considerable, but the problem was that he was the injured one.

There was no way to set his own bone.

Everyone was at a loss until a voice emerged from the corner.

”I... I know a little.”

Everyone turned to look and saw a girl with a ponytail, face still tear-stained, speaking softly.

Seeing the girl, Zhao Kai’s expression changed.

It was the ponytail girl he had rescued earlier.

Before, he had heard others call her Tang Ying.

”Tang Ying, do you know how to set bones?”

Zhao Kai immediately walked over to her, asking.

Tang Ying glanced at Zhao Kai and nodded, eyes red: ”Mr. Zhao, thank you for saving me before.”

Zhao Kai sighed: ”I’m sorry I couldn’t save your sister.”

Tang Ying’s eyes filled with tears again. Zhao Kai immediately scolded himself for being insensitive.

He quickly said, ”Do you really know how to set bones? Dr. Yang could use some help.”

”I’ve studied it; I major in clinical nursing.”

Tang Ying, holding back her grief, spoke softly.

Zhao Kai quickly led her out of the crowd and said to Liang Yuan, ”Brother Liang, her name is Tang Ying. She studied clinical nursing and says she knows bone setting.”

Liang Yuan looked at the ponytail girl, sighed, and said, ”Student Tang, could you please take a look?”

Tang Ying nodded, walked towards Yang Shenmin, and said softly, ”Dr. Yang, I’ll set your bone.”

Yang Shenmin smiled at her: ”Don’t be nervous, just apply what you’ve learned.”

Tang Ying nodded: ”Mr. Liang, Brother Zhao, could you help turn Dr. Yang over?”

”I’ll do it.”

Shi Haizhu immediately stood up, and Zhao Kai quickly stepped forward to help.

The two of them turned Yang Shenmin over from the bed together.

Tang Ying asked Shi Haizhu to help remove Yang Shenmin’s shirt, then quickly described the injury.

She and Yang Shenmin discussed how to set the bone, and after some operations, they finally managed to set Yang Shenmin’s bone back in place.

Yang Shenmin’s face was pale, but he endured the pain, breathing a sigh of relief.

”The bone is set now. From here on, just recover.”

Liang Yuan said, ”You’ve already awakened your mutant ability. Your recovery will be faster than a normal person’s. How do you feel now? I have a few questions to ask you.”

Everyone was a bit surprised and looked towards Liang Yuan.

In such a moment, what questions could Liang Yuan have for Dr. Yang?
