Chapter 587: Chapter 580 Phoenix Nirvana

The intense itching over his body was, in fact, even more unbearable than severe pain.

But the most frustrating part was that Gao Yuan was a prime example of non-humanity: medicines that were effective for humans barely worked on him.

Those acting on the nerves, those that blocked the senses, any medicine had no effect on Gao Yuan, even in increased dosages.

If he didn’t inject the monster’s blood plasma, Gao Yuan’s body wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable, at least not too itchy, but then the healing process would slow down.

Adopting the philosophy that prolonged pain or itch was worse than short-term agony, Gao Yuan signaled for the blood transfusion to continue.

Anything, whether unbearable itching or severe pain, after becoming familiar with the sensation, would numb a person, which was an increase in tolerance.

Although Gao Yuan still occasionally thought it would be better to be dead, his days had ultimately become a bit more bearable.

However, the constant itch that sometimes became extremely intense meant that he could only lie in bed.

Gao Yuan was in hell every day, never feeling a second of respite.

Xinghe came again, Gao Yuan could see him and hear what Xinghe was saying, but he could not move or speak.

Yet, Gao Yuan had managed to remain conscious despite the extreme pain and could still listen to what Xinghe was babbling about.

While Xinghe was chattering away, Yu Shunzhou arrived.

Having lain in bed for a whole month, Yu Shunzhou could now move around freely, while Gao Yuan was still bedridden.

Nodding at Xinghe, Yu Shunzhou approached Gao Yuan and whispered, "I have something to tell you. Today, just today, there’s not a single Sanitation Worker left in the Malakal Region. Malakal, Malut, and Kodok, all three cities are completely taken, and even the surrounding zombies and stragglers have been eliminated."

The defeat of the Sanitation Workers was never in doubt, but their remaining forces were not weak. After taking down the Sanitation Worker’s headquarters, and with the former Sanitation Worker, Murphy, they completely eradicated the remaining Sanitation Worker forces in the Malakal Region in just one month—a not so slow pace.

Yu Shunzhou continued in a low voice, "Before, even if you ran faster, jumped higher, and were stronger, I wasn’t convinced by you. I was definitely envious, but I thought if the river injected that ’Biological Robot’ into me, perhaps I could run even faster than you."

After speaking, Yu Shunzhou sighed softly and added, "But now I know, I’m convinced by you. If it were me, I’d have been driven insane by the pain long ago."

Standing upright, Yu Shunzhou sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll just say a few words and leave it at that. Mainly because your current state really isn’t a pleasant sight, actually, it’s quite disgusting..."

Gao Yuan certainly didn’t look good at the moment. His body was encased in black crusty scabs from the wounds, piece by piece, like a puzzle. For someone with trypophobia, one glance at Gao Yuan could make them lose their appetite for days.

Gao Yuan’s eyes moved around, expressing his dissatisfaction with an annoyed look.

"Okay, I’m leaving now. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow."

Yu Shunzhou got up to leave, since in Gao Yuan’s ward, except for Xinghe who was not afraid of virus infections, the visitation time for others was strictly limited, even forbidden.

Just then, Ram followed by Andy Ho also walked in, and then came Albert.

Andy Ho and Albert took turns caring for Gao Yuan every day because with Gao Yuan’s special status, it was impossible to arrange for ordinary medical staff to care for him.

"Little Yu is here, have you already told him?"

Ram stood beside Gao Yuan with a beaming smile, then he waved his hand and said, "I intended to personally bring you good news, but now it seems unnecessary. Uh, your suffering wasn’t in vain, we won."

Gao Yuan’s eyes showed great satisfaction and joy.

Ram was about to say more, but Xinghe suddenly stood up, and then she looked at Gao Yuan with a face full of joy.

A piece of charred skin on Gao Yuan’s nose started to lift and then, under the gaze of everyone, silently fell off, revealing a small patch of skin that was white with a hint of red, tender like the skin of a newborn baby.

After a brief silence, Ram suddenly turned to Andy Ho, who, after a moment of stupor, said in a tone lacking confidence, "Has it finally started to get better?"

Xinghe suddenly reached out, she gently peeled away the skin next to the small piece that had fallen. The fragments dropped effortlessly, and clearly, they wouldn’t have stayed on Gao Yuan’s nose much longer even if Xinghe hadn’t touched them.

Then, miraculously, Gao Yuan began to feel the itching all over his body rapidly subsiding. He felt some discomfort in the seams of his bones, but, in a miraculous short span of time, he recovered to normal.

Gao Yuan’s eyes began to flicker wildly.

"How do you feel? If you don’t feel uncomfortable, close your eyes, if you are in great pain now, blink twice."

Gao Yuan immediately closed his eyes.

Andy Ho exclaimed with joy, "Is it really better? Just like that?"

Yu Shunzhou, who had not yet left, shouted loudly, "This is fantastic! Damn! I was afraid he’d grow a hard shell on his body, like an Armored Beast, but now he definitely won’t turn into a monster, right?"

Xinghe hadn’t cried these past days, but now she was with tears streaming down, her hands quickly undoing one sturdy bolt after another, releasing Gao Yuan from his restraints.

Gao Yuan opened his eyes, raised his right arm, and slowly took out the steel ring from his mouth, then he let out a gentle breath, followed by a soft whisper, "I... feel very good now."

Gao Yuan no longer had any medical equipment attached to him, for he didn’t need it; he had been confined to this ward simply waiting for his body to heal itself.

Finally, Gao Yuan sat up, sitting up on his own for the first time after lying down for a month.

Looking at his body, Gao Yuan couldn’t help saying, "This is disgusting..."

He ran his hand over his arm, and charred pieces of skin flaked off. Some still clung to the new flesh, falling off with strands of blood, but the damage was trivial.

Gao Yuan was covered with only a white cloth at his waist. He looked at the people in the ward hesitantly but couldn’t resist quickly lifting the white cloth, then he reached down and after a touch, he said with a face full of relief, "All good, all good!"

There was no sense of weakness or powerlessness; on the contrary, Gao Yuan felt his condition was better than ever before.

He spun around on the bed and placed his feet on the ground. Tying the white cloth around his waist, Gao Yuan stood up. He moved his legs, lightly jumped on the spot a few times feeling no discomfort, and then he stamped his feet heavily a few times.

As fragments fell from his body, Gao Yuan passed his hand over his forehead, then he closed his eyes and whispered softly, "You guys... can’t imagine what I went through. Next time something like this happens, I beg you, please make sure to finish me off with a single shot, make sure."
